With reference to the t 01l to be taken upon passengers for short distances, there were certain conditions which the other Company did not think proper to accede to; and, therefore, the negotiations respecting it remained as at the last meeting. 11e was happy to say that with this excep tion everything had teen arranged amicably.—(Hear, hear.) The toll on passengers was therefore still 4d.• Mr. BAXTER then moved the confirmation of the declaration of forfeiture of 257 shares, which was seconded by Mr. MAR RIOTT, and confirmed. The meeting then separated. THE WEATHER.—NOON', FEBRUARY 23. ROYAL GALLERY OF SCIENCE, ADELAIDE-STREET.

Great stress is laid by the aristocracy and the country gentlemen on the burdens pressing exclusively on the land, and assuming that this is a matter beyond all doubt, they insist that a tax be levied on the people to compensate them for contributing more than any other class to the revenue. If this is a fact, it certainly can be ascertained, and Sir ROBERT PEEL'S agents might have been better employed in collecting evidence on the subject, than in wandering over the Continent to find out inhabitants more poor and wretched than the English. This, however, would not suit his purpose. These " exclusive burdens" are to be shaded in mystery, and therefore magnified far above their real amount, as an excuse for benefiting a particular class. When the Member for Manchester asked him to specify these burdens, the only answer was, that opinions were divided on the subject ; and when pressed for his own opinion, he could, or would give none, and excited the laughter of those around him by attempting to turn the Hon. Member into ridicule. He will find, however, that the question cannot be thus evaded, and that before the Committee has settled the new sliding scale these heavy burdens will be brought to light. Mr. P. STEWART last night cleared up the matter a little, and showed that the landlords, instead of being taxed snore than others, have an annual exemption to the amount of nearly a million and a half sterling. The special burdens on land, he said, amount to 1,200,000/, while the special burdens to which personal property is liable, - amount to 2,500,0001. The monopolists - were silent for a good reason. The burden on land, in fact, is a mere bugbear. Poor-rates are paid by all, and on no class at present do they press more heavily than on the inhabitants of towns where the people are starving for the good of the landlords. Tithes never belonged to them. They have been, since the days of the Levites, the property of the Church. For hundreds of years land has been devised , purc hased, occu p ied by powerful freebooters, like Scorr of Buccleuch, or handed over to favourites by spendthrift Sovereigns, on the express con dition that Mother Church was to have her full share. We trust Mr. STEWART and Mr. COBDEN Will not suffer this question to rest till they have proved, beyond dispute, that of all classes the landed Fentry are the most lightly taxed ; and that in every instance, except one, when they were frightened to death by BONAPARTE, they have taken the most tender care of their own pockets. - The observations 'made by Sir ROBERT PEEL in the Mouse of Commons last night, in answer to Mr. lIIND LEY'S question relative to the recognition of the present Government of Spain by the Great Northern Powers, will cast another damper upon the intrigues of the French Court. Sir ROBERT PEEL stated that all the influ ence which the British Cabinet could command had been employed to induce the Great Continental Powers to recognize the Government of which Es- PARTERO is the head, and that England desired nothing more ardently than to see Spain independent of all foreign interference. The King of the FRENCH will be at no loss to understand this allusion of the Tory Premier. His MAJESTY and Madame MuNoz will learn from this that there is no party in this coun try favourable to the claims of CARLOS or CHRISTINA to the sovereignty of Spain. Upon this question the Tories have, very wisely aftd prudently, come round to the opinions of the Whigs ; nor is there any fear that even the Morning Post will longer put itself forward as the champion of CAuLos, though for so many years his devoted slave. There is no longer any mystery About the disposition of the English Cabinet towards Es- PARTERO 'S Spanish Administration. Of Spain, as now go verned, Great Britain declares herself the faithful friend and ally. Her influence at other Courts, her good offices at home, are officially declared to be at the disposal of ESPA.RTERO. Taking the deep interest which we do in the triumph of constitutional liberty in Spain, we feel grateful to the Premier for taking so decided a course upon this question. That it will utterly confound the machinations of the Paris conspirators, we have good reason to regard as a moral certainty. The agitation of the Repeal question by the LORD MAYOR of Dublin has recently given birth to a number of clever pamphlets on the social, commercial, and poli tical state of Ireland. Of these, one of the most sen sible and most practical is by a Pellow of the Dnblin Law Institute, entitled " Ireland and Irish questions considered ; " in which an extensive acquaintance is shown with all the errors and mistakes of past Govern ments in the administration of that country. The writer is opposed to the Repeal of the Union, which he proves, instead of benefiting, would entail , immense misery and dependence upon Ireland ; and he contends that one of the first duties of the British Government ought to be to make the Union more perfect than itis, by assimilating as much as possible the Institutions of the two countries. To effect this, he would abolish the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, which imparts a sort of colonial character to the Administra tion of the Irish Government. We do not think that he could begin with a better step. The office of a Lieu tenant is exceedingly injurious to Ireland. Much of the ignorance of Irish affairs, and indifference to Irish ques tions, which exists in England, is solely owing to the popular impression that it is not so much the SOVEREIGN, as her Lieutenant, that governs Ireland, and that the sorncthing in its social condition, which requires it to be thus treated as a colony, sufficiently accounts for the discontent and misery of the inhabitants. Besides, in this age of steam, Dublin is but twelve hours distant from Buckingham Palace, so that the voice of our gra cious SOVEREIGN can be heard sooner in the Irish capi tal than in her good city of Edinburgh. Ireland has heal too long go . . e.ned by deputy, and nothing surprises us more than the little Support which the pro position of that steady and consistent friend of Ireland, Mr. HumE, received when he moved in Parliament the a bolition of the Vice-regal o ffi ce. A temperate, but firm Government ; impartiality in the administration of the laws ; and the adoption of some extensive system for the construction of railways, the clearing of waste lands, and the improvement of the general husbandry of Ireland, is all that is wanted to make it one of the best and happiest countries of Europe. But the remedies, to prove effectual, must be applied without delay. The clever and impartial writer of the pamphlet before us admits that two-thirds of the population of Ireland are now Repeaters. So long as Ireland remains-in her pre sent state, their numbers must go on increasing. Here is more work for Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Cabinet. The Madrid Papers are of the 14th The public mindo seeme d very much agitated by the news from Portugal. Three per Cents. on the 14th, were done at 21 for cash, and 22i for 60 days"; Five per Cents., 30 for cash, and 30f to 311 at 60 days. The French Minister of Justice has yielded so far to the repeated demands of the Opposition, as to bring for ward a Bill for the Amelioration of the Criminal Code. No measure could be more wanted. The mode of ad ministering justice in France is disgraceful to a free country. It is not uncommon for persons arrested for offences against the State, or at the instance of officers of the C row n, to remain from four to eight . months in prison, the daily and nightly associates of con v i c t e d f e l o ns, and then to be told that tnere is no evidence of their guilt, and therefore they may go about their b us i nes s. Even if a Court ad judge them innocent, they h ave n o remedy for a period o f i nc arceration, which may have utterly ruined them in fame, in property, and in resp ec t f or personal character, They enter their prisona innocent and honest men, and t hey frequently leave it oateasts and vagabonds, without the shadow of any legal redress for their cruel injuries. Many offences, too, which are of a com p arat i ve ly venial c haracter, are not bailable in. France ; and this is another evil which the Ministerial Bill promises par tially to remedy. The French army in Africa is engaged in carry ing on nightly razzitts, or marauding expeditions, against the adherents of ABD-EL-KADER. Horses, mu l es, cows, sheep, women. and children are the usual spoils of t h e Gallic conquerors. - The Presse treats the account of the plot, formed in France for revolutionizing Spain, as a comedy got up by England. Let us try if we canno t make a farce of it. We know that when put in rehearsal at the Tuileries it Wts intended for one of the sternest tragedies acted upon the /411)44 / theatre of the Peninsula since 1812. But the eclat given to it by the Press, and the announcement of Sir ROBERT PEEL in the House of Commons of the sym pathy felt for EsPARTERO by the English Government, have doubtless put some of the intended actors out of conceit with their parts. If Louis PHILIPPE de cline his share in the business, then we may indeed ex pect a farce instead of a tragedy ; and his MAJESTY is too wary a politician to persevere in an infamous pro ceeding against a neighbouring State, after all Europe has got an inkling of his designs. As he can no longer aim a deadly blow against Spain in secret, he will hardly be so ritsh as to raise his arm. BOURSE-PARIS, MONDAY, FEB. 21. First Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Price. Price.

The Leicestershire Mercury contains some disclosures respecting the receipt of money from Tory agents by certain Chartists for political purposes, which need no explanation. A Mr. Markham, one of the parties im plicated, confesses to having received money for his services at the Nottingham election, from a leading Tory, and confidential friend of the Duke of Rutland ; and Mr. Cooper, another Chartist, states, that at the con clusion of an Anti-Corn-law meeting in the market-place of Leicester, he received from " a Conservative gentle man" the sum of twelve pounds, ten shillings, every farthing of which he paid to the working-men for the services they rendered, on that day. Truly these are edifying disclo sures, but they reflect far more disgrace on the wealthy and unscrupulous Tories, who offered the bribe, than on the poor working-men whose necessities tempted them to accept it. Not that these last are to be held justified for what they did ; far otherwise ; their conduct deserves to be severely reprobated ; but, after all, it may . be con sidered venial, compared with that of the Tories, who had no stern, stringent necessities to plead in excuse for their behaviour ; and who were quite shrewd and enlight ened enough to foresee its demoralizing consequencep. We consider a genuine Tory, in his political capacity, as the most unmitigated rogue in existence. Not only_ is he deficient in public principle himself, but he seems actually incapable of appreciating its value in others. In fact, he appears to be wholly destitute of what may be called the moral sense. To , promote his own party in terests, he will not hesitate to sacrifice—as in the flagrant instance before us—the peace, the self respect, the happiness, and the integrity of hundreds of his poorer fellow-countrymen. , And yet when a question of bribery is brought before Parliament, who is so loud in his denunciation of it, as your thorough-going Tory ? Who so shocked at the flagrant character of the crime ? Who so forward to suggest measures to prevent its recurrence ? In a word, who combines the most drivelling cant with the most un blushing effrontery in so disgusting a manner, whenevt r circumstances compel him to deliver an opinion on the subject of bribery and corruption ? There are Metho dists in politics as well as in religion, and we consider a Tory to be a political Methodist of the first water. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

It may be as well to state here, for the information of our readers, and in order to prevent injurious surmises or rash re solves, a circumstance that has just come to our knowledge, in regard to Spanish Bonds. In consequence ' as is said, of the neces sity of announcing the payment of the dividends on the capi ta ized stock at one and the same time, in London and Pariz, there will be a further delay of some days before the appear ance of the advertisement, and in the meantime it is hoped that the gentleman appointed to act as president of the Commission of Finance, M. Duron, wil be enabled to reach London, or if he has resigned, for his successor. We hope sincerely, that M. Duron, will not be quite so long en route, as was his avant courier, Salamanca, for this slow travelling, though " mighty amusing", to a Spanish Don, at ,d perfectly consona nt to his habits and views, is anything but grateful to the poor bond-holders. We will give the Capi talization Gnnmissioners another fortnight yet to mature their plans, and then may we trust to see some announcement of them in The Sun. SIMIMITH.—On Saturday last an enormous por tion of the Chitaock Cliff, at the Western end of the town, fell with such tremendous violence as to cause great consternation to the inhabitants of the immediate vicinity, to whom it appeared as the shock of an earthquake.

It appeared the prisoner had called on Mr. Tooke at his chambers, in Bedford-row, and had taken advantage of his absence to steal the watch. On being arrested, he attempted to stab the po liceman with a pocket knife ; and, failing' in that, he wounded himself severely in the left side, and has been since in ..the London Hospital in a dangerous state. There being some suspicion that he had already been convicted, the Magistrate remanded him till the truth could be ascertained. LAW INTELLIGENCE. CHANCERY COURT-(THS pAY.) PEYTON v. tworizo.

M. de Chateaubriand's M.S. and copyright works were sold on Friday by auction to M. de Saint Esprit for 153,000 francs (6,000/.)

Prince Albert has added Hamlet to his valuable hunt ing stud. THEATRICAL. Among the novelties of the Promenade Concerts at the English Opera-house, last night, was a fine solo on the flute composed and played by Mr. Richardson, with great elegance ; and a concerto on the ophicleide by M. Pros pere, remarkably round and full of tone. A new one-act comedy, entitled the Woman-Hater, from the pen of Mr. B. Bernard, was produced at the Haymarket last night. The piece turns upon the dreams of a Baron Ravensburg, who entrenching himself in phi losophical biasses against women and a marriage -state, is led by a train of circumstanges to adopt the opposite theories, and to reject Seneca fOr die solace of a wife. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND public Optuton, " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Railway question excites a good deal of interest in France. The Debats says :—" The want of financial foresight in the Minister of Public Works has been no ticed by most of the Deputies who have spoken on this subject in the bureaux. It would appear that he has nut even reflected that the proposed lines would cost from 700 to 750 millions of francs. Ttie cost of the works for 1842 and 1843 are to be charged to the account of the floating debt, the remainder to the reserve of the sinking fund. These resources, however, are illusory ; M. Duchatel says that France may expend annually upon railways sixty millions a-year without suspending other public works, but where are these sixty millions to be found?" The National thinks that the Minister of Public Works has issued a programme, which he will not be able to realise, and says that if the 120 or 130 leagues of railway, which it is proposed to construct, were on a single line either from Paris to Lyons, or Paris to Stras burg, France would, in two years, have a really national work; whereas, says the National, by the plan of the Minister of Public Works, which is to have portions of railways scattered over different portions of the territory, there will be just enough done, and that slowly, to in spire general disgust for'an undertaking yielding such insignificant results. Very little more is said in the French capital respect ing the forthcoming Spanish revolution, and it is now supposed, as the Carlists will not act as long as Don Carlos refuses formally to abdicate in favour of his son, and sanction their operations, that the Christinos find themselves unequal to successfully compete with Espar tero, and consequently the intended rising is adjourned sine die. La Patrie contains the following :—" It appears that fresh difficulties have arisen to increase the embarrass ments of our Government. We have been informed, from undoubted authority, that General Cass, the American Minister, has just placed in the hands of the Minister for Foreign Affairs an official note, in which be protests in strong terms against the treaty. Amongst the important documents an nexed to this note, we shall cite an exact re turn of the ordinary trade carried on by the United States in the seas now divided into zones. It results from those returns that the shipping obliged to traverse those zones amount altogether to 828,583 tons, which give a sum total, including their departure and return of 2,157,166 tons. Those returns do not include the ships from New Orleans and the ports from the Gulf of Mexico trading with the north of Europe, which may be estimated at 500,000 tons, form ing altogether 2,157,166 tons. The note adds, thatrather than renounce her trade the American Gevernment would a thousand times prefer having war, on which she is determined, and will not hesitate for a single instant. In fine, it is observed in this note, that ' in case of a rupture, France would find herself necessarily engaged as one of the belligerent parties, inasmuch as she is by the terms of the treaty obliged to exercise the right of search." Authority has recently been granted for the establish ment of a national bank in Hungary. The capital is to be two millions of florins, or five millions of francs, and the rate of interest on advances is fixed at 5 per cent., which.will be a great accommodation to the trade of the country. Several hundred capitalists have taken shares in this undertaking : A Turin letter, in the Augsburg Gazette, says that negotiations have been opened by the Coprt of Brazil for the marriage of the two young Princesses, sisters of the Emperor, with two Princes of the House of Savoy. According to advises from Athens of the 3d inst., in the Augsburg Gazette, M. Mavrocordato's nomination as Ambassador to the Ottoman Porte has been definitively settled. He was* holding daily conferences with the Ministers. The Turkish Government is stated to have ordered accurate observations of all cases of plague in its domi nions to be made and registered, with the view of throw ing light on the important question concerning the limits of contagion from that malady. The Amsterdam papers state that the project of a rail road from St. Petersburgh to Moscow received the Impe rial sanction on the 26th ult. ; that the expense is esti mated at 40 millions of silver roubles, or upwards of 160 millions of francs ; and that the money will be furnished by the house of Heerket and Durfour, at Leipsic, under the guarantee of the Russian Government, at 4 per cent. interest. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times has no great opinion of Sir James Gra ham's statesmanship as regards his proposed amendment of the Poor-law Bill, observing, "we only hope it may not turn out to be something more positively mischievous than we were prepared for. We should be betraying our duty to the poor if- we did not advise them to abandon all hope of good from a Minister who deals thus with the people. Sir James Graham is evidently doing his best to ruin the Government with which he is connected. From the sample of his intended measure which he has thought proper to disclose, we augur the worst of what remains behind." The Chronicle remarks that, as the chief of a new Mi nistry, Sir Robert Peel has made a great blunder ; as the agent and champion of the food monopoly, he has made a greater blunder. Both ways his error is irre trievable. But he can neither recall the past, nor avoid the future. He must go on. He has to work through the Legislature a law which the people are publicly dis cussing previously how to render of no effect as law. It is doomed to contempt, hatred, and resistance, before it is enacted. The Advertiser has an article on the subject of certain treaties entered upon between this country and some of the Courts of the Continent, wherein our Contemporary observes that Denmark will no doubt benefit herself by these modifications of her Tariff, but that it will be equally to the advantage of Great Britain, to meet that Northern Power in the ports of this country in a spirit of equal liberality. To lower duties on, is to cherish commerce The Post comments as follows on some remarks about " the dependence of man upon man," made by Lord Pal merston in his late speech in the Commons:—" The de pendence of man upon man,' may, we repeat, be a very delightful thing when the t dependence' is mutual. and the conditions of the dependence' honest. But the `dependence' to which free-trade must always lead never can be mutual—its conditions never can be honest. The very object of free-trade is Cheap production ;' and cheap production involves, of necessity, a low re muneration to the labourer. The more widely, there fore, the principles of free-trade shall be acted on, the deeper must become the misery of the labouring classes —the more extensive must become the power of capitalist and of idle consumers over the humble order of pro ducers." The Herald observes in an article on the affairs of Portugal :—" The abrogation of the ultra-liberal Con stitution of Portugal, and the restoration of the charter of Done Pedro, is an affair which is of itself of little in terest. Portugal can scarcely be worse governed under the one than she has been under the other. The abne gation of the necessary power from the Executive under the Constitution, and the personal restraint and subser vience which is imposed on the Sovereign, sufficiently account for its pnpopularity in the Court of Donna Maria—for the Royal desire to return to the charter of her august parent. If such only be the provocatives to the recent revolution at Lisbon, it is, we repeat, an affair of little intrinsic importance." PARLIAMENTARY. The Lords met last night, but transacted no business of the least importance, and adjourned till Thursday. In answer to Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Gladstone 'stated that it was the intention of the Government to make seven per cent., or whatever sum might be determined on as a protection for our manufactures in the colonies, un der the Colonial Bill, a real bona fide protection to that amount ; and not allow the Colonial Legislature to set it aside, though they are to be allowed to continue any differential duties they may think proper in addition to the seven per cent._ In answer to Mr. Hindley, Sir Robert Peel stated that the Government had used its influence to induce, the Northern Powers to recognise the present Government of Spain, but he could not tell when the recognition would take place. The Right Eon. Baronet stated that, under the present Government, Spain was making consi derable progress. Mr. Cobden gave notice of a resolution, that, as Par liament admitted it would not regulate wages it ought not to pass a law interfering with food, v+ithout first inquiring into its effects on wages. Mr. Murphy moved for papers to elucidate the de plorable transaction which cost Mr. Bell his life in Central America, as already narrated in The Sun ; but withdrew his motion on Lord Stanley explaining that the Government had as yet only ex parte information on the subject. In answer to Lord John Russell Sir Robert Peel ex pressed himself anxious to have his Corn duties passed as speedily as possible into a law, and that he should, at the earliest opportunity, explain his financial views in a Committee of Ways and Means. The Chancellor of the Exchequer announced, in an swer to a question, that the Government had a measure in hand to correct the state of the coinage. The adjourned debate on Mr. Villiers' motion was again resumed, and occupied the House for the evening. It was again adjourned. MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE. At West Bromwich nearly all the men are out of work, and the utmost destitution prevails among the poor. COMMERCIAL REFORM. A great out-door meeting was held at Manchester on Monday evening in Stevenson's-square. There were no less than 7,000 men assembled on the occasi on un d er t h e full moon, and a larger meeting has not taken place within the last ten years. A report will be found in anu ther part of The Sun. An important meeting took place at Wolverhampton on Tuesday, composed of the leading men of the town and the Chartists, between whom a common union was made, and both joined in resolutions for the rem ova l o f the Premier from office, and petitions to the Queen were carried to that effect. ECCLESIASTICAL . The Roman Government, it is said, has authorised the Bishop of Algiers to build 10 new churches there, and to have his own cathedral enlarged. The Latter Day Saints assert that out of 600 religious creeds now upon earth, all are in the dark but themselves. One of their apostles declared last week, at Manchester, that their p reac h ers cou ld t a k e p o i so n without injury, could heal si c k by t ouc hi ng o f h an d s , handle serpents without hurt, and speak and interpret in unknown tongues. maw AND POLICE. At Clerkenwell, yesterday, a Russian, of the name of Bowmski, was charged with stealing, on the 4th inst., a gold watch, value fifty guineas, the property of Mr. COURT-FASHIONABLE. The Earl and CounteseOrilinnoulha7e; arrived at Dublin Castle, 'on a visit to the Lord Lieutenant and the Countess De Grey. The Countess Cadogan had a card party on the Ter race, Piccadilly, on Monday. The Countess Berkeley has been receiving company at Cranford Lodge during the preceding week. Prince Esterhazy is expected at Chandos . House to morrow. The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield remain at Bad minton till Friday or Monday next. The Marquis of Aylesbury entertained the French Ambassador at dinner on Monday last. MISCELLANEOUS. On this day in 1763, an insurrection broke out at Berbice, where upwards of 100 persons were killed; 20 were whites and the rest negroes. The negro rebels put the Europeans to death by cutting them to pieces bit by bit, while some had spikes driven through their bodies. Lord Cowley, the English Ambassador, despatched a courier last Monday to London, who was doubtless the bearer of the last answers of the French Cabinet on the question of the Right of Search. The man who is said to have carried the head of the Princess de Lamballe on a• pike, named Charlot, and who had been himself one of the chief butchers in Paris, died a few days ago in the Faubourg St. Antoine. CONVEYANCE OF THE MAILS. The Estimates for the Contract Packet Service amount for the years 1842-3 to 421,9291., beirg an increase of 188,5901. over those of the previous year. This arises chiefly from the contract for the conveyance of mails to the West Indies, which is taken at 240,0001. There is an addition also of 20,0001. for the conveyance of mails by steam from Liverpool to Halifax, Boston, and Quebec, the total amount for that being 80,0001. The following are the other principal contracts—for conveying the mail from London to Hamburgh and Rotterdam, 17,000/. ; to Gibraltar arid the intermediate places, 29,6001. ; to Alexandria, 34,4001. ; and from Liverpool to Kingstown, Ireland, 9,000/.

NOVEL BAPTISM.-011 Saturday was created at the Church of St. Mary Abbott 'l , Kensington , by th e baptism of a lady between twenty and thirty y e years of age, named Blisson, residing in Nottingbill-square. The ceremony was per formed by the Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man, and Miss Blisson, whom it Was understood i s a Manx lady, received the name of Adele, RIRKMAN V. ANDREWS. Lord LANGDALE gave judgment this morning in this case, the facts of which have already appeared in The Sun To the bill filed by the plaintiff in the cause, the defendants had set up a plea to the effect, that the plaintiff having become bankrupt and obtained his certificate, had a second time become bankrupt, and had not, as they were informed and believed, paid 15s. in the pound ; and therefore that he was not in a position entitling him to make any claim against the defendants, without making his assignees parties to the suit, which he had not done. It had been contended for the plaintiff that the words " they were informed and believed" in the plea were not sufficient. His Lord_ was of opinion that these words were sufficient, and gave the parties leave to amend their bill. THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF ELY V. RUSE, The plaintiffs in this cause had Sled a bill for the recovery of the tithes of a certain tract of land to which they claimed to be entitled. The defendants set up the plea of the statute of limitation, and the present question was whether that statute, namely, the 3d and 4th of Wm. IV., applied to the case. Mr. KINDERBLEY appeared in support of the plea; Mr. PEMBER TON for the plaintiftt. There were also several junior counsel at either side. The arguments were not concluded when we went to press, VIOE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice. Chancellor KNIGHT Bauce.) His Honour was engaged in hearing short causes of little public interest. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRA.M.) DYSON V. NORRIS. His HONOUR gave judgment in this cause. The plaintiff was the mortgagee of certain lands for securing payment to him of a sum, the principal of which now amounts to 9,3501. Part of h►s security consisted of a policy of insurance npon the life of the mort gager. The mortgager was the defendant, Thomas Brook Morris ; and the other defendants were parties who represented two gentle men, named Meadows Taylor and Henry Brown, who, according to the allegations in the bill, were formerly interested in the mortgage money, although the mortgage was made in the name of Thomas Brook Morris alone. The bill prayed that the policy might be sold, and the proceeds arising from the sale be applied in satisfaction of the mortgage debt. His Honour, after going through all the trans. actions between the parties, said the plaintiff must take the usual decree of foreclosure, retaining the policy for what it might be worth POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) James Welsh, a strange-looking man, was charged with begging. An officer of the Mendicity Society said that he found the prisoner begging, last night, about a quarter pas six, in New-street, Covent. garden. On searching him 2s. Ild. in money was found upon his person, and a book, such as is given to depositors of money in Savings' Banks, showing that the prisoner had a deposit of 41. in some bank. He was an old offender. The prisoner, in explanation, said that he had found the book, but as this statement did not meet with the credence which was, perhaps, anticipated, he next endeavoured to excite the sympathy of the worthy Magistrate, by recounting tales of suffering, the effect of paralysis. This scheme, hcwever, also failed. The prisoner then gave up all further endeavours to convince the Magistrate of his native•simplicity, and with calm resignation received from the Magistrate the sentence for his delinquencies, of one month's im. prisonment. A garrulous little Jewess, who appeared to be in that state which ladies like to be who love their lords, applied for three summonses against Sarah Levy, Esther Levy, and Joseph Josephs, for assault. The lady stated that last night, about half.past eleven, she was proceeding home to her domicile, 34, Castle.street, Long. acre, but feeling rather thirsty, she stepped into Mr. Lacy's, at the Garrick's Head, in Bow.street, to get a glass of porter, whilst there Mrs. Levy deliberately came up, and spat in her face twice. She also threatened to do for her, and to kick the child out of her. Mr. Josephs then pinned her against the wall, whilst the gentle Mrs. Levy, and her fair sister, punched her and beat her most de. liberately, and literally tore the clothes from off her back. The little woman then unfolded a bundle, of rags, which was erst a gown. The summonses were granted. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—EIiza Loder, a fine grown handsome young woman, but very meanly clad, and who appeared suffering from illness and exhaustion, was placed at the bar, having been taken into custody under the following circumstances. About seven o'clock yesterday evening, she was observed walking alr,ng the north bank of the Serpentine river crying bitterly. She was watched by James Knight, one of the men belonging to the Royal Humane Society, who approached her unawares and caught her in his arms as she was about to throw herself into the water, she having taken off her bonnet and laid at her feet. She was then given into the charge of the police and taken to the station-house. Mr. MkLTBY put several questions to the young woman, but at first she seemed much averse to give any information respecting herself, but eventually the worthy Magistrate elicited from her that she belonged to the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth; her father having carried on business there for many years, as a plumber and glazier. She had been in service with Mr. Thompson, of Kenning. ton Oval, nurseryman, but was obliged to leave in consequence of illness, through which she had been in Guy's Hospital for eight months. She was discharged from there about four months ago, her father having died a few days previously. Mr. MALTEY—Did you intend to destroy 'yourself ? Young Woman—l did; the miserable state I was in induced me to take that desperate resolve. Mr. MALTBY—How have you supported yourself during the four months; have you been on the streets? Young Woman (with much emotion)—No, Sir, I have not. I have lived by selling my clothes, a thing at a time, and some few articles my father left me. Within the last few days I had not the means of procuring either food or shelter, but have wandered the streets day and night. Mr. MALTBY—If I discharge you now, have you any place to go to, or relation which would assist you ? Young Woman—None whatever, my mother died many years before my father. _ . Mr. MALTBY ordered half a crown to be given out of the poor. box, and directed that the young woman should be taken to St. George's Workhouse, and that she should be taken in there until her case can be investigated. UNION-HALL-(THIS DAY.) John Connor, a notorious young thief, was placed at the bar before Mr. Cottingham, charged with stealing a quantity of lead, the property of the Brighton Railway Company. Policeman 166 M, stated that he was on duty in Bermondsey street last night at eleven o'clock, and from information he re ceived he repaired to the back part of the premises occupied by Mr. Newman, Surveyor of Pavements to the parish, and found the prisoner concealed in the passage leading to the back kitchen, with a quantity of lead, weighing about a hundred and half, packed up ready for carrying away. On further examinaton of the premises, he discovered that the cnpper in the back kitchen had been partly wrenched out, and a small crow-bar lying near it, which perfectly corresponded with the marks on the copper. On examining the lead, he ascertained that it had been torn from the gutter at the back of the house, and no doubt had been done with the same instrument. The prisoner was observed to drop from the top of the back kitchen by two females who were passing at the time, and gave the alarm. Mr. Corrixonam remanded the prisoner until Friday next. The prisoner, who is an adept at this business, was charged at this Court for a similar offence only ten days ago, but was dis charged for want of evidence. PEEL'S EFFIGY AGAIN. (FROM A COBRESPONDENT.) BEVERLEY, FEB. 22.—Last might the inhabitants of the usually quiet town of Beverley were aroused by a band of music playing the Rogue's March through the town, accompanied by an immense number of the people, some of whom carried, sus pended upon a gallows, an effigy of Sir Robert Peel, with a rope attached, to draw him from one side of the gallows to the other, in imitation of his sliding scale. He was preceded by a num ber of people carrying various placards. The motto of some were as follows :—" Peel, the Rat-catcher," "Peel, the Star vation Minister," in a large rat-trap, two live rats, with the following underneath : " Graham and Stanley, the Peel rats." Another, with the names of the recently-appointed Magistrates as " Graham Rats," as all the newly-appointed Magistrates are renegades to their former principles, like Sir J. Graham. We suppose that was their recommendation, as we know of no other. When they arrived at our spacious market-place, and paraded round the market-cross, a judge and jury were ap pointed to try the Joseph Surface, when he was shot and buret by the unanimous voice of the jury and people. There were several thousands of people assembled, who behaved in a most orderly manner; and after giving three cheers for the total repeal of the provision -laws, three cheers for the Liberals, and three groans for Peel and the Monopolists, and three groans for the Tories, the people quietly separated. One of the newly-appointed Magistrates sent a message to a widow lady, who keeps an inn, to say that if any thing came from her house that night, he should remember her on the licensing day.

FlRE.—Last evening, between the hours of six and seven o'clock, an alarming fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Wheeler, furniture japanner, S. Newton-street, Holborn. Yhe fire first appeared from the windows of the second floor, and for some time threatened considerable destruction to the surround ing neighbourhood. The engines fwm Holborn, Chandos.street, and Wells.street, were shortly on the spot, but unfortunately up. wards of twenty minutes elapsed before any supply of water could be procured. The premises were burnt to the ground. The pro perty is insured.

LYMINGTON.—Wso understand that a monumental tablet is about to be erected in Boldre Church to Gilpin, the cele brated author of " Forest Scenery," and other important works. Though Gilpin has been dead nearly forty years, so much is his memory respected by those who knew his virtues, and there were few in his vicinity who did not, that we ate glad to have an oppor_ tvnity of making this intention known. Gilpin has himself built a monument for the world at large in his works, and this tablet will remind those who look upon it, to emulate the virtues of so good a man.- 1 / a mpshire Independent, ORDINATION.

Carter, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, from the West Indies and North American station; she left Bermuda last, and has made a very quick passage of only six teen days. She will come into harbour in the course of the day, and will either be paid up, or paid off, all standing. In the event of her being paid off, she will be recommissioned forth with, as she is under orders to proceed, as soon as possible, to the Cape, with the flag of Rear-Admiral Hon. Josceline Ptrcy. Previous to her being recommissioned, she will be taken into dock and overhauled. At the time the Winchester left Ber muda, the following ships were lying there :—lllustrious, 72, with the flag of Sir Charles Adam ; Pique, 36 ; Spartan, 26 ; Volage, 26; and Spitfire steam-vessel. The Racehorse, 18, had sailed a day or two previous for Barbadoes, and the Illus trious was on the eve of leaving Bermuda for the same place. Commanders Ogilvy, Murray, and Fisher, who have been re cently promoted in the late brevet, came home passengers. as in the Winchester. Rear-Admiral Hon. Joceline Percy is expected down to day or to-morrow, to hoist his flag on board the Winchester, in which he will proceed to the Cape, to take the command at that station. There will then be five Admirals' flags flying at this port—those of Admiral Sir Edward Codrington, on board the St. Vincent (white at the main), he being the Com mander. in-Chief of the port— of Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Owen, on board the Queen (red at the fore), who is about to assume the command of the fleet in the Mediterranean—of Rear-Admiral Hon. D. P. Bouverie, on board the V.etory (red at the mizen), the Admiral-Superintendent of the Dock yard here—of Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, en board the Excellent (blue at the wizen), who is going out to China as second in command—and of Rear-Admiral Hon. Josceline Percy, on board the Winchcster (blue at the mizen), about to proceed to the Cape. The Formidable, 84, Captain Sir Charles Sullivan, has proved herself, in her voyage from the Downs to this port, to be an excellent sailer. She left the Downs four hours after the Alfred. and arrived here half an hour before her, though on a previous occasion, when the two ships left Sheerness to gether, and anchored at the Sunk, the Alfred had a slight advantage of her. She has again sprung her capstan, which will in all probability be replaced by a new one. It is not expected that she will leave Spithead within a fortnight or three weeks, as she is nearly a hundred hands short of her complement. The Carysfort, 26, Captain Lord George Paulett, has go:: nearly ready for sea in a very short space of time. She has been commissioned but a very few weeks, and although she only came out of the basin a day or two ago, she has her top-gallant masts up and all her running gear rove. In all pro bability, she will leave the harbour the latter end of next week. The Alfred, 59, Commodore Purvis, has some defect in her rudder. which it is thought, will render it necessary for her to come into harbour to have repaired. This, however, Rill not detain her beyond the time she would otherwise remain to complete her stores and men. She is about fifty hands short of her complement.

NEGRO WIT.—A short time since a gentleman driving on the road between Little River and this town, was overtaken by a negro boy on a mule, who attempted for a long while, without success, to make the animal pass the carriage. At length the boy exclaimed to h s beast, " I'll bet you one fippenny I make you pass this time ;" and after a short pause, again said, " you bet?—very well." The boy repeated the blows with renewed vigour, and at last succeeded in making him pass ; when the gentleman, who overheard the conversa tion between Quaco and his steed, said to him, " Well, my boy, now you have won, how are you going to make the mule pay you?"—" Oh, Sir," says Quaco, "make him pay me very well; Massa give me one tenpenny for buy him grass, and me only buy him a fippenny-worth !"—Brighton Garette. A DISTRESSING VASE.—'Tuesday afternoon, about three o'clock, the feelings of the people passing along the High street were excited in no ordinary degree, with deep sympathy and pity, for a poor woman e who was wending her way in the direction of the High Church burying-ground, with a coffin under her arm, evidently enclosing the remains of her dead child. She had an old tartan mantle thrown over her head, and with the skirt she was endeavouring to hide the sad emblem of death. Her squalid features bore the marks of ex treme grief, and her legs, which were without any kindly covering, tottered beneath the weight she was carrying. At her side was a boy, about ten years of age, the only being ac companying her in the last melancholy duty of conveying her child to the "narrow house." Altogether the scene was one of the most soul-harrowing description—it was sufficient to make humanity blush. Who could think that in Britain, "on whose dominions the sun never sets,"—that in religious Scot land, in Glasgow, her commercial capital, such a display of ex treme destitution should be witnessed in her streets ? This single occurrence speaks volumes. It is, indeed, a lesson of awful importance to our legislators; but when will they turn wise ? Glasgow Saturday Post. The 13th Light Dragoons which were quartered at Slough, Maidenhead, and Colebrook, during the King of Prussia's visit to Windsor Castle, have marched into this town and Norwich. Previous to the regiment leaving Slough, a Court-martial was held at the Crown Hotel, on Sergeant Scott, who was charged with neglect of duty and absence from quar ters. On the day following, the troops mounted, assembled, and the commanding officer read over the whole of the evidence, showing that the charges were clearly proved. The command ing-officer then pronounced the sentence of the Cour;, that Sergeant Scott be reduced to the rank of a private. The ceremony of ripping off his stripes was then performed, and the man "fell into the ranks. He had been in the regiment fourteen years, and up to this period had conducted himself with propriety. He appeared deeply to feel his degradation.— Ipswich Express. On Tuesday evening the town of Crich was the scene of great disturbance and confusion. The principal part of the inhabitants, to show their disapprobation of Sir Robert Peel's proposed scheme for the Corn-laws, made an effigy of Sir Robert, of straw and old clothes, and carried it round the town. It was received with shouting and hooting as it pasted along. After the town had been perambulated, Sir Robert Peel—the man of straw—was burnt near to the King's Arms Inn, amidst the most dismal yells, hisses, and groans. In the Market-place some scoundrel picked Sir Robert's pocket of a watch, made of a large turnip, and having part of a plough chain and an iron bolt, for the chain and key. The rogue has )et escaped detection ! !—Correspondent of the Derbyshire Chronicle. THE PRICE OF BREAD IN GLASGOW.--Our atten tion has been called to this subject, and we must say that we think there is something in it which requires at least an expla nation. The price of the 41b. loaf, it seems, has been 10d. for many months past in this city, and nothing less, whilst in other places it has been selling for some time at 9d., and even ( . i l t o to af fi 6 n d e . 8d in , as low as Bd. On looking over our file, we find that of late th e s s C --4 ond lb 1 price of bread in Perth has , s fineashha...sbeene w second ditto 7d. ; Paisley, Edinburgh, Dumfries, &c., 41b. fine loaf 9d. From the Caledonian Mercury, of 12th February, we learn likewise that in Cup, , r of Fife the price of the 41b. loaf, as in Perth, is only Bd. This is certainly an extraordinary difference, and we have no doubt but the public must be satisfied as to the cause of it.— Glasgow Saturday Post. THE CORN-LAWS. — It is already known, that a Deputation from the American Chamber of Commerce of this port, consisting of Mr. Todd, Mr. Brown, Mr. Bolton, and others, have had interviews with Sir Robert Peel and the Earl offßipon on the Corn-laws, as they affect the trade be tween Great Britain and the United States. The Deputa tion stated, we hear, among other reasons, that the southern States were anxious for an extenson of the intercourse with Great Britain and the eastern States ( the seat of manufac tures), desirous that it should be limited; the middle States were wavering on the subject, but ready to throw their weight on the side from which they might hope to derive the greatest advantage. That the settlement of the Corn-law question in this country would have a material influence on the condition of .things in the United States, if that settlement should lead to the regular import of corn from abroad, and on terms on which the American grower could eompele with the Conti nental grower, then the middle States would, in all probabi lity, side with the southern, and thus greatly extend the market for British manufactures, which was limited, at pre sent, by the state of the law, which practically prohibited the exportation of " bread stuffs" in return for our mar u factures. I hat the system of taking the averages operated disadvantageously for the United States, and that a longer period than six weeks—say, eight or ten—would be requisite to put the American merchant on an equal footing with the Continental merchant in the supply of the British market. These and other arguments the Deputation pressed on the Premier's attention, who promised to give them all the consi deration in his power.—Liverpool Albion. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.—It has been confidently but erroneously asserted, that Messrs. Grissell and Peto were about to rebuild this celebrated establishment. They have declined doing so, and it is now of course, impossible that it can be completed by Easter Monday. It will be erected by Mr. Cobbold, who has obtained from the Archbishop of Can terbury, at a ground-rent of 6001. per annum, a lease for forty years. Mr. Batty, now performing at the Circus, Westminster Baths, is to be the lessee, and succeeds Mr. Ducrow, on Easter Monday, 1843 ; in the meantime he is engaged, with his stud and company, by Mr. Willis Jones, for the Surrey Theatre, where the equestrian performances commence on the 25th of March. Madame Ducrow's stud, &c., under the management of Messrs. Hillier and Broadfoot, appear on the same evening at Sadler's Wells ; where, by a new and singular contrivance the stage (not the pit as heretofore) is to be converted into a circle. The half-yearly meeting of the Proprietors of the Incorporated General Steam Navigation Company was held yesterday, at the office of the Company in Lombard -street. The chair was taken by Wolverley Attwood, Esq., at two o'clock, The Report and half-yearly accounts were read, and appeared to afford general satisfaction. The usual bonus and dividend were declared, and after voting the cordial thanks of the Proprietors to the Chairman and Directors, the meeting separated. Monday week Lord Panmure formally made over to the new Mechanics Institution, Brechin, the handsome apartments which he had erected for its use, together with the fine collection of paintings which decorate the hall. His Lordship at the same time handed to the President and Vie, - Pi esident a check for 1,000/, to be vested in Trustees for behoof of the Institution. Thus, by the enlightened liberality of this Nobleman, the youth of Brechin have been provided with elegant schools and the mechanics with a splendid hall, and the means of obtaining instruction in useful knowledge and rational amusement in all time coming. —Aberdeen Herald. A CONTRYMAN, OUTWITTE D .—O n thursday week an artilleryman, belonging to the East India Company, met a coun tryman driving a team of horses near the Star, on Chatham.hiil. They got into conversation, and the soldier persuaded his com panion to go and have something to drink. After drinking some time, the soldier got the countryman to etchaiige clothes, and " see how well he would look in regimentals." They did so, the soldier put on the countryman's clothes and contrived to slip out of the room, but forgot to return, taking with him a watch and 7s. It wa s some time before the countryman found his compan. ion had bolted, and he was at length obliged to drive the team in full regimentals. As he passed through Chatham he was take up rs a deserter, and conveyed to the barracks, where the cause of his military appearance became known. The deserter has not beets heard of since.—Dotter Chronicle. THE LATE EXPLOSION AT HOUNSLOW.

The evidence, given by Jan?! Mathewson, engineer, William Major, John Hannisi and Jona Johnson, workmen in the employ of Messrs.

Mr. Free. surgeon, of Hounslow, had amessenger despatched for 1I n' three and he promptly attended, and rendered assistance to Lie , The de; survivors. Malthouse, however, died of his injuries on SenaeL, It further appeared that the employment of the deceased 11,11 in the mill, was of that nature which was not likely to Pree.ol4 sparks, or cause thereby ignition. At the time of the exP 1e .., 51 01, there was about 1,200 or 1,300 lbs. of powder in the "" to The coroner and jury strictly interrogated the witnesses, as to whether there had been on any previous occasion, e n y e l e j e jf k g 't elu tal on the part of the deceased men, but all that could b was, that the greatest care and precaution was invariably too), No one could account for the occurrence, bnt it is ge l) to imagined that a spark might have been produced flow friction of the machinery used in corning the powder, an rg i c t, ignited it. After some discussion, the jury returned ale e d. " that the deceased persons came by their deaths from the 44 dental explosion of a powder mill belonging to Messrs. ''uotti and Harvey." Colvin and Thomas still lie in a bad Sta te ' hopes are entertained of their ultimate recovery.
