On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply in the House of Commons last night, Mr. SHIEL brought forward his amendment for the production of the cor respondence relative to the re-appointment of Mr. ST. GEOHGE to the Magistracy in Ireland, which of course opened up the entire question of the policy pursued by the present Tory Government in that country. The speech of Mr. SHIEL was able, straightforward, and I judiciously temperate. He passed in review th e Tor y pledges of governing Ireland with strict impartiality, and he instanced the gross and glaring violations of them in making Dr. LEFROY, a violent Orange partisan, an Irish Judge ; in the selection of the Irish Law Officers of the Crown from among the most anti-Catholic mem b2rs of the bar ; is the memorable trials of M'ARDLE gad HUGHES, when a Protestant Jury was packed to acquit a Protestant murderer, and a similar Jury packed to find a Catholic guilty of murder ; and in tl'e conduct of the Law Officers of the Crown in the prosecution of the Belfast Vindicator. Lord ELIOT made a poor defence of the conduct of the Government- Ile contended that though a partisan in Parliament, Dr. LEFROY made a very upright and impartial Judge ; that the Law Officers of the Crown were selected for their extensive knowledge of the law ; and that if Protestants formed the majority of jurors it was unintentional on the part of the Government. We sincerely pity Lord ELIOT. He is evidently himself a humane and impartial man. We have not the least doubt that, if left to himself, he would govern Ireland impartially, and do all in his power to conciliate her people. There is nothing of the bigot about him, and he is as honest in the discharge of his duties as the unprincipled men by whom he is sur rounded will•permit him to be. But he is hampered and cramped at every turn by the old Orange faction, and is made responsible for a thousand acts of maladministra tion which his position will not allow him to deny, and which he is • too honest so to defend as to satisfy any party. 'Were it our province to tender advice to his Lordship, we would recommend him to cut the PLua and GILAIIA.M connexion forthwith. They are dragging him, through mire, from the stains of which a whole life will hardly cleanse him. Were he only to bethink h;.mself of the place which the future historian of Irelar.d must assign him, in connexion with these disgrezeful trials, we are mistaken if the prospe won:al not startle and alarm a Nobleman ho, at heart, yearns for the admiration of the most grateful people in Europe. Sir WIL LIAM SOMERVILLE told the House that however honest might have been the intentions of the Govern ment they did not possess the confidence of a single individual of seven millions of Irish Catholics. Now this in itself is a very deplorable fact. - No Government van be efficient which has not the confidence of the go verned. It may b.:: well-intentioned, it may be vigorous, it may adopt a series of wise measures, but if it possess not the confidence of the people it is a bad and inefficient Government, inasmuch as it wants :the fir,t element of true strength, greatness, and stAility. The Solicitor- General for Ireland defended the conduct of the 'Govern ment on the grounds of mere partisanship. What he .and his colleagues had done Irish banisters did before thrim, therefore they were no I%:qrse than their neigh bours. Mr. O'CoNNum. had challenged jurors, and Mr. SItIEL had challenged 'jurors, he muse they were Prote:tants ; why then shout,' not he and Mr. nREWSTER challenge jurors. because they were Roman Catholics? Mr. JACKSON chose to overlook, as (lid the House, the difference between the duties of a simple ad vocate at the bar and a law officer of the Crown, re presenting the Government of the country in his own person. What Mr. O'CoNNELL or Mr. SHIM. might do to save the life of a client, or to bring a public offender to condign punishment, could establish no precedent for a Solicitor or Attorney-General appearing on the part of the Crown to secure for the accused a fair trial, and to see that the ends of strict, impartial justice were satisfied. Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S defence of the conduct of the Government was not a whit more satisfactory than that of Mr. Sergeant JACKSON. He contended that tlyt Tory Ministers only folowed the example of their Whig predecessors, by doing for the Protestant thonsands what the Whigs had done for the Catholic millions. • This is likely enough true, but it will do in Ireland no longer. The Catholics of Ireland are rich, numerous, and powerful ; they com pose nearly the whole bulk of the population, and the country must be governed on principles which shall se cure their confidence. We can. no longer legislate for them, or govern them in the spirit of a caste. They are a inticn, and unless we govern them as one equally free and independent with ourselves, it will be impossible burg to resist the cry for the repeal of the Union. The motion was lost by a m4jurity of 146 to 75 — but as it was a question which more concerned the honour of the late Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, than thm Liberal party, the result neither diminishes the impor tance of the debate, nor disappoints any person. Mr. CHARLES BULLER made a good speech against the Government, and Sir ROBERT PEEL spoke with unusual flippancy of the motion before the House, carefully eschewing, however, to enter upon a clear defence of the principles of his administration. The Church Extension farce came off last evening, End it is to be regretted that Sir HOBERT PEEL did not speak out more candidly, and. reject at once the scheme of Sir ROBERT INGLIS for adding to the burdens or the country by increasing the wealth of the richest Church in Christendom. On the contrary, to show the Iligh Church party, we suppose, that he will not throw them overboard at present, he intimated that at an early period next session he would state the view 1‘ Melt the Government took of the question, so far as several most Populou s districts are concerned. How money is to be raised for providing churches in these ports he did not say ; but would it not have been a much more' manly and straightforward course to have followed the example of the Duke of WELLINGTO N last session, when he stated i n the House of Lords that he would resist any propo sition of the kind till he was convinced the funds of the Church were inadequate for the religious instruction of the people ? This is the substance of what his Grace said, and we are therefore to infer that one Member of the Cabinets at least, will refuse a grant of the public money, till the vast revenues of the Established Church are made applicable to the improvement of small livings, as well as to spiritual destitution in populous districts. There is more than enough for forming the most com plete ecclesiastical establishment that ever existed. All that is wanted is proper management, such as cutting down large livings, joining small parishes, and, above all, distributing the revenues of the Church lands, not among wealthy bishops and useless dignitaries, but among the useful and hard-working clergy. There are " great birds of prey " in the Church as well as in the State, and from the praiseworthy attempts of the Home Secretary in former days to bring down this high game, the public may confidently reckon upon his assistance in the good work. To add to the distresses of the country by giving us " more Church," would excite one burst of indignation among Catholics and Dissenters. Their hatred of Church -rates is already sufficiently great, and not a little annoying to every Government, and Sir R. PEEL would fi nd but poor compensation in the support of the m mks of Oxford fur the determined hostility of these two powerful classes of her MAJEsTv's subjects. We have no fear, however, that he intends to propose any grant of public money, but, on the contrary, hope that be will institute a rigorous investigation into public charities as well as Church property, the funds of which are amply sufficient both for education and religion. NEitl,ITl------- 1:;, c jciirimis of Monday have all been re c4-_-_ v-ecelafflicted Duchess: of OBLEANs arrived at ~....p reti , '- r~ the Palace of Neuilly on Sunday morning. The KING received her at the carriage in his arms ; the poor deso late-hearted QUEEN bathed her in tears, and the afflicted family, in the presence of their attendants, wept aloud ! Respect for the 'deep sorrow of the Royal Family, made all who were near them withdraw, so that there were other witnesses of the afflicting spectacle of their first' interview. The Duke of NEMOURS be fore lee,ving Nancy, forwarded a despatch to General BAUDRAND at Plombieres, where the Dtre`hess was, containing the words, " The Duke ORLEANS has died at Paris." This dispatch arrived at Plombieres on Thursday. The Duchess had just re turned front a long walk, and was dressing for dinner. To cor_tmunitate the whole truth the General felt would fJe too terrible. Accordingly, in concert with the Prefect, he prepared a despatch stating, not that the Duke was dead, but that he was seriously ill. This was comma r.lcated to the Duchess who was greatly. shocked. Though she had invited a party to dine with her, she resolved to set out instantly for Paris, saying as she stepped into the carriage, " I know that the Duke will scold me, but no matter, I am resolved." We quote the account of the Duchess's journey .to Paris, from the Journal des Debats of Monday:— Some leagues beyond Epiral, during the night, the carriage was suddenly stopped, on meeting that in which M. Bertin de Veaux and M. Chomel were going to Plombieres. The latter went up to the door of the Princess's carriage, who instantly got out. " What news ?" said she, trembling all over. "is he w orse ?" M. Chomel had not courage to answer, be is dead. " I understand you," said the Princess, with an agonising cry, and it seemed as if she would sink under the weight of her misfortunes. A long and terrible crisis followed. After having said, that she understood the Princess would not believe the reality of so dreadful a catastrophe. " No," said she, " it is not possible; you are mistaken, he is not dead ; we shall find him; I shall see him again." This scene of grief, which the darkness of the night rendered still more solemn, continued a long time : the Princess was re placed in her carrirge, and ordered it to proceed with all speed; she wished to arrive in time, she said, " to see again after death, him whom Heaven had condemned her never more to see alive." At Mirecourt, her Royal Highness met her sisters the Duchess of Nemours and the Princess Clementine, who came to meet her, and had already passed two nights, she got into their carriage and proceeded to Paris without stopping an instant. On arriving at Neuilly, after having been received by their Majesties, she asked for her children, who were brought to her, whom she pressed to her bosom, bathing them with tears. Her Royal Highness was then at that time in the Palace. General Marbot, the Duke of Elchingen, Dr. Pasquier, M. de Boismiton, and M. Asseline were successively introduced to her. The Princess also received the Duchess of Elchingen. In the evening the Duchess desired to dine with their Ma jesties and the Royal family. The health of the Princess does not appear to be seriously shaken by the dreadful trial which she has just undergone. After an interval of heart-rending grief, of which those who witnessed, cannot speak without tears, the Duchess of Orleans regained the composure, the courage, and the resignation which strong minds oppose to the blows of misfortune. The widow of the Prince Royal remembers that sbe is the mother of the Connt de Paris, the adopted daughter of our King, dear to the country which has in her the union of rarest qualities of the mind and the heart ; she knows the great duties incumbent on her as a mother, and prepares her self for them in the midst of this overwhelming sorrow. The Duchess of Orleans was worthy to sit on a throne by the side of the Prince whom France deplores with such afflicting unanimity ; she will e rove herself worthy of such a husband, by teaching her sons to imitate such a father.

Thiers having returned to Paris, his journal, the l i .C6nstitutionnel, speaks its opinion upon the Regency. It says.that Cassimir Perrier, abut to organise the Peer age, called and consulted the influential men of all par ties previous to drawing up the law, and did not follow his own opinion on the subject. On the subject of who should 13.:: Regent, this journal says it will suspend its opinion. Meantime the law has been drawn up, giving the Regency to the Due de Nemours, and, in default, to his trothers in L , uccession. The guardianship and tute lage of the Princes are given to the Duchess of Orleans. It is not yet decided Nvhether the majority of the Princes will be fixed at 'lB or' 21 years. The late Duke, in his will, exhorts his brothers and his own family to concord, and to implicit obedience to, and confidence in, the will and wisdom of the King. Belgium is adopting the French prohibitory duty on English thread, has taken off one-third cf the consump tion duty on French wines, and diminishes that on salt, but it leaves French silks as they were ; and France leaves the duty undiminished on Belgian iron. THE " POST " VERSUS EDUCATION.—The Morning Post, whose misfortune it is to be pleased with nothing that is said or done, whether by Whig Or Tory, is quite horrified at the idea of the people becoming more • en lightened than they at present are, and finds grievous fault with the Government for attempting to illu minate them, adding, • "the liberal scheme of edu cation which the Conservative Cabinet seems, most unfortunately, inclined to adopt, is essentially revolutionary."—The scheme is certainly revolutionary ; but it is revolutionary only of the ignorance and bigotry that has hitherto prevailed among a vast mass of the community. Its obvious tendency is to substitute light for darkness—hope for despair ; to teach the People to discri minate between their benefactors and their oppressors ; to elevate them in the scale of humanity; and to place them on a high vantage ground, whence they may get sight of the right track, and steadily, fearlessly, and unitedly pursue it. In this sense the educational scheme of Government is unquestionably revolutionary—that is to say, it tends to expose and subvert the old-fashioned, one-sided views of legislation so long acted on, for mere party pur poses, by the Tories, and to introduce other and wore enlarged ones in their steal. This is its cardinal blemish in the eyes of our Contemporary. Aware of the rotten ness of the system which he advocates, and that it thrives best in darkness, he is naturally indignant at the idea of the light being let in upon it. But the people must be educated. Granted ; but then, adds the Post, let their education take the same direction that it took in the dear, old, ever-to-be- venerated days of high Toryism ! Let them be taught to revere the divinity of-tithes ; to swallow, at one unhesitating gulp, the Thirty-nine Articles ; to believe in the apostolic self denial of the Bishops, and the selfish cupidity of the Dissenters ; to rest contented with the crumbs of comfort thrown to them from time to time by the Monopolists; to look upon Tory Magistrates as infallible, and on Tory policy as the, perfection of wisdom ; to respect the dignified antiquity of jobs and sinecures ; and to regard Reform, in all its forms and phases, as an invention of the Evil One ;—let. the People be educated in this manner ; be taught to advocate those notions, as the only sound ones in religion and peliries and then, argues the Post, England will again be, what she was in the days of the Ekions, the Sidmouths, and the Castlereaghs, the:‘ envy and wonder of all surround ing nations ! " Alas, the country cannot go backand would not, if it could—to these times ;. it must obey the general law of progression, • and move forward, even though it leave our Contemporary, like some feeble old woman; halting on crutches in the rear. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). COLONIAL MARKET. There was a strong business done in most kinds of Colonial produce, but no change of moment occurred in prices. TEA Al A It KET. The large public sale of Tea has been brought to a close. More spirit was experienced in the biddings, and prices were rather firmer ; indeed, Congou was about Id. per lb. higher than at the last public sales. Altogether, the market exhibits a firmer tone ; but, in consquence of further parcels being de. dared for public sale, there is not much inclination to make purchases by private contract. TALLOW MARKET. The price of this article continues just nominal at 48s. on the spot, and at 495. for future delivery. SPIRIT MARKET. The price of Rum was not quite so much depressed as last weep!, and there was more inquiry for the article, but no sales of magnitude were made. Proof Leewards 2s.

THE SUN, CONDO SUMMARY OF NEWS AND tittilltir ptutou. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The French Regency is to be given to the Duke of Nemours, eldest brother of the late Duke of Orleans,• and in the event of his death, to the Prince de Joinville and the Dukes d'Aumale and Monpensier in succession. M. Thiers has returned to Paris, and is already in the thick of the intrigues upon the Regency question. He is very eager that the King should advise with him about it. Belgium has reduced the import duty on French wines and salt, and increased the import duty on English thread. The great Hamburgh Banker, Mr. Solomon Heine, is gone , stensibly to the baths of Pyrmont, but, it is generally under stood that his real object is to proceed to Cassel, to-meet the Baron Rothschild, from Frankfort, and to concert measures with him relative to the forthcoming Hamburgh loan. PAILLIAfrIENTIC.R.Y. Among the many petitions presented last night in the House of Lords were some against the Collieries Bill, and one from females employed in the Elgin collieries, setting forth the hardships and injury the Bill would inflict on them should it pass into a law. These women would rather be without Lord Ashley's kindness. In reply to the Earl of Radnor, Lord Wharncliffe said that he hoped the revival of trade would give relief to the people. The Lords were occupied till ten o'clock by a discussion on the second reading of Bills to extend the jurisdiction of Bankruptcy, to improve County Courts, to provide for the care of Lunatics, &c. Only law Lords took part in the dis cussion. The measures, as far as they go, were generally ap proved of, only Lord ampbell hoped they would not be pressed. They are nearly coincident with Lord Cottenham's Bills on the same subjects, if not borrowed from them. They therefore met with no opposition, and were read a second time. Their Lordships adjourned a few minutes before Ten. In the Commons Mr. Roebuck obtained permission to plead as counsel at the Bar of the House of Lords, in support of the Sudbury Disfranchisement Bill. In compliance with a request made by . Mr. Hawes, Sir R. Peel stated that were Sir R. Inglis to bring on his motion for Charch extension he should vote for it, and should follow up his vote by an address to her Majesty, drawn up according to his own views. At the same time he pledged himself on the part of the Government, to give the subject his best considera tion, and hinted that the Hon, Baronet who was to bring for ward the subject might not find it convenient or proper to do so at this late period of the session, when so many gentlemen had left town. Sir Robert Inglis took this hint, and professing himself satisfied to leave the matter in the hands of his Right Hon. Friend, he intimated that he would not bring forward his motion for Church extension this session. In reply to Mr. Roebuck, Sir J. Graham admitted that a Mr. Fry has been imprisoned at Cheltenham with serious irregularities. On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply, Mr. Shiel brought under the notice of the House the conduct of the Government in Ireland respecting Mr. St. George, the appointing partisan Judges, the excluding Catholics from juries to obtain party convictions, the unseemly prosecutions of the Press, the injudicious language of Mr. Justice Penne father, &c., and concluded by moving for the correspondence relative to the restoring Mr. St. George to the Magistracy. ?Jr. Shiel spoke at great length, and Lord Eliot defended the Government, and went through most of the cases which had been quoted or referred to by Mr. Shiel. A long and regular debate on the mode of governing Ireland ensued, in which the Ministers and the ex-Ministers took part, and in which Sir Robert Peel defended his conduct. It is impossible, 'now ever, to advert to the many topics that were introduced. We have hitherto been spared much discussion' about Ireland this session, and must esteem ourselves happy to be quit with one night's discussion, embracing all possible topics. In the end the House divided, and themotion was lost by 146 to 75. The House afterwards went into Committee of Supply, transacted some ordinary business, and adjourned at Two o'Clock. PUBLIC OPINION. _ In an article suggested by the present distresses of the coun try, the Chronicle makes the following remarks :—" Every night in the House of Commons brings stronger indications that the session verges upon its close; and the news of every day from the country brings stronger proof that the session ought rather to be at its commencement than at its conclusion. During the present Parliament, the sufferings of the great mass of the population have been augmented in unbroken pro gression. There have been no alternations of good with evil, of hope with despondency. Net even partial and temporary revivals of trade have intervened to chequer the gloominess of the prospect. No person in business remembers a depression so strictly continuous and uninterrupted. In our large manu facturing towns distress has advanced from street to street, from one kind of occupation to another, from one class in so ciety to a higher class. The symptoms are all those of a fearful and grossing calamity, becoming more portentous by every week's delay. And in this state of things it is that the Legisla ture prepares, and is practically beginning to disband itself, and to seek amusement in the coming season of field sports." The Post insists that the Anti-Corn-law League is responsi ble for much of the present distress in the country :—" That the distress of the country is very great, is only too notorious ; but it is scarcely less notorious that the distress of the country has been caused chiefly by the prevalence of that system of in dustrial policy which the schemers of the Anti-Corn-law League desire to ' carry out ' to results even more appalling than those under which we are now suffering. Not merely, therefore, is the free-trade faction responsible, in a general sense, for the prevailing poverty and want of employment ; but the jobbers of the Anti-Corn-law League are responsible, in an especial manner, for a large portion of that wretchedness which exists at this moment in the manufacturing districts. It is now the object of these selfish schemers to aggravate, by all possible means, the amount of distress, in order to ' produce an action' en Parliament and on Ministers. With that view the manu facturers of the League are on all sides reducing the wages of their opera•.ives, and discharging their hands.' Nay; at an Anti-Corn-law meeting held in Yorkshire about a fortnight ago, it was stated by the lecturer, Acland, that the object of the ' Anti-Corn-law Conference,' now assembled in London, is • to arrange a plan for stopping simultaneously all the mills in Yorkshire and Lancashire.' If these men should be indicted for a foul conspiracy, see might chance to hear less afterwards abtut • leagues, and conferences,' and 6 closings of mills.' " The Herald says—" If the members of the British Asso ciation for the Advancement of Science flattered themselves that they were to be exclusively honoured by the denunciations of the Times, they have by this time discovered their mistake. They must. perceive a formidable rival for its favours in the Royal Agricultural Societe; but neither the Assoc ation nor the Seciety need be jealous of our modest Cotemporary's at tention to the other, for he seems to have an ample store of abuse for them both. Indeed, it is inexhaustible, and it ought to be ; for he 'lets fly' indiscriminately at every body of men who aim at assisting each other to become wiser than their fathers were before them. This propensity' to associate for the study of their common interests and the advancement of their common pursuits is his abomination. It is a conspiracy against the prejudices of habit and error which he cannot en dure. In the acquisition of ne'a ideas he can see nothing but the uasettling 'of men's minds, and in the adoption of improved methods nothing but the exchange of the old magic lamp for a worthless new one I How profound would be the bliss (pro found as the ignorance) of a man who can thus be content with no higher aspiration than to leave the world as he found it, if he was not disturbed by the startling realities with which the spirit of discovery is continually exciting his envy and his apprehension." In. an article on the subject of a Regency in France, the Times observes—" The principle of monarchy in France derives ;As chief strength from the personal character of the Sovereign ; but the person of the Sovereign must draw its authority from something besides the principle of monarchy ; and the adherence of the people to the present institutions of the country appears to rest, not upon the predilections or the confidence of loyalty, but rather upon the dread of further change, and the distrust of other forms of Government, which could not tail to draw the Stale once more into the fatal vortex of revolution. Such we believe to be a fair and dispassionate view of the state of the public mind in France; - and all we venture to hope at the present moment is, that the sympathy 'of the people for the King's affliction may carry them along with the Government, and that the measure now about to be submitted to the Legislature may not come into operation until a course of yetrs has ratified its provisions, and prepared the nation to support them, if necessary." VIONZIY—TRADE—COMINCERCE. The Pharmaceutical Society has already enrolled upwards of 3,700 members and associates during the first year of its estab lishment. By the passing of the recent " Act," whereby the use of stake and bag nets are no longer permitted to remain at the mouth of the River Tyne, the salmon fishery has become highly productive, and Newcastle may again be expected to become as famous for salmon as it wrs in the middle of the eighteenth century. A resolution has been come to by the flax-spinners of Leeds, whereby it has been determined that all their mills shall com mence working short time, or four or five days in the week. This decision will affect nearly 10,000 persons, who are em• ',loved in this branch of trade. The payments have been from 3,0001. to 4,0001. weekly, and the diminution will be about 800/. from that sum. LAW AND POLICE. The capture of the gang of highwaymen, who had constructed and inhabited fur some time past a cave in Epping Forest, has naturally led to the inquiry of what has become of Lord Warden, Deputy-Warden, Master-Keepers, Verderers, Reeves, &r., an enormous staff, which is appointed by the Crown to guard its rights, as well as those of the public, and supported at a con siderable expense to the latter. An action was brought at the Maidstone Assizes by Mr. Bur ton, the owner of a jetty at Northfleet, against Stevenson and others, owners of a coal brig, for running foul of the jetty, and damaging the house erected on it. The damages were laid at 6 , 11., but the Jury returned a verdict for the defendants, on the ground that the jetty was an obstruction to the free navigation of the river. _ _ A decision, under the General Turnpike Act, of considerable importance, was come to by the Magistrates of the Kensington Police Com t yesterday. Hitherto, it appears that several Ala gistratea have convicted parties, who, leaving their chaise, cart, or vehicle outside the turnpike, have themselves gone through on foot and done their business, afterwards returning to their cart. The ground of conviction has been that by this means they have evaded the toll.

I.ITEILSRY AND SCIENTIFIC. On levelling some ground to the south of Scone, near Perth, large quantities of bones in stone coffins were found.

In addition to the meetings of the Joint-Stock and Union Banks, which were held a few days back, the Proprietors of the Commercial Bank assembled yesterday for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Directors. It appeared that but one-fifth of the capital, or 80,0001., has been yet required, but with this small amount sufficient business has been done to yield a profit of 7,2031. 165., after paying the current expenses, and deducting all bad and doubtful debts, from which a dividend of 5 per cent. is to be paid, and the balance carried to the guarantee fund. Although commercial depression has existed for some time, yet it would seem that those institutiens, instead of suf fering to the extent which might have been anticipated, have, on the contrary, rather increased their business, and with pro fit.

Morris, a young man, fashionably dressed, and Roger Morris, wearing a blouse, and having the appearance of a farmer, were charged with being drunk and riotous, at half-past four o'clock this morning, in Cranbourne-street, Leicester square, and assaulting police-constable, No. 178, of the C divi sion, in the execution of his duty,, and making use of obscene language. The complai . nant stated, that hearing a great noise in Cran bourne-street, be went there, and found the defendants both very much intoxicated, attempting to hold each other up, and rolling against the shutters of the shops there. He bugged them to goon quietly, on which they both commenced abusing him, using obscene and abominable language, and at last the defendant, Roger' Morris, put his fist in his (complainant's) face, and threatened to as,ault him ; he therefore took him into custody, when the other defendant threatened and attempted to rescue him. On another police-constable coming up, he was alvo given in charge. The defendant, William Morris, who, at his own request was sp•.kesman for himself and friend, alleged that the charge was from beginning to end entirely false—it was quite a trumped-up thing altogether, and neither of them was so much intoxicated as had been represetved ; in fact, as for himself, he was perfectly sober. Inspector Plume, of the C division, stated that when the de fendants were brought to the station-house they were both drunk. Mr. MA von - said the charge against them had been fully proved to his satisfaction. Defendant, Will. am Morris—l shall certainly carry this matter further. Mr. MALTBY--Pray, what cre you, Sir? Defendant—l am a gentleman, and any friend is an agriculturist. Mr. MALTBY—I fine you 40s each, or, in default of pay ment, one month's imprisonment in Westminster Bridewell. Defendant William Morris—l beg your pardon, Sir, but will you favour me by making the fine 51. instead of 40s. I had much rather so. Mr. MALTBY—I shall not al , er my adjudication. Defendant—Well, I must submit, but I vtould rather pay the Si. than the 40s. The fines were immediately paid, and the defendants liberated. THE ANTI-CORN-LAW CONFERENCE. (THIS DAY.) The Delegates re-at-sculled at Twelve o'clock this day at the King's Arms, Palace-yard. P. A. Taylor, Esq., in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN opened the lroceedings by reading the following address of the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland, to the members of the Anti- Curn-law Conference in London : Committee-room, Corn Exchange, Dublin, July 15, 1842. Gentlemen—lt affords the Irish people no small satisfaction to offer you the tribute of their approbation and praise, for the energy with which you have sought for the repe a l of the Corn laws—laws the most oppressive and monstrous that ever dis graced any code, Christian or Infidel—laws too bad even for any class of unbelievers laws founded upon a principle manifestly repugnant to, and directly contra dictory of, the most sacred doctrines of Christian charity. It excites sorrow and indignation to find that in any civilised country there should exist a law to tax the food of the multitudinous poor, for the exclusive benefit of a small class of landholders. It would be iniquitous policy to tax the food of the labouring classes by a taxation levied for the benefit of the en tire State ; but it is truly wicked that the food of the starving poor should be enhanced in price without any benefit to the State, and for the sole profit of a comparatively small and very avaricious class, composed of the monopolising aristocracy. This we loudly proclaim to be an atrocious impolicy, almost unendurable, and imperatively demanding immediate legisla tive redress. In your struggles to obtain such re dress, we offer you the heartfelt sympathy and cordial support and assistance of the people of Ireland—a people tranquilly but fixedly devoted to tho carrying out the great principle of liberty, religious, civil, and commer cial. But while we thus offer you our support and assistance, and duly appreciate your exertions for the repeal of the Corn laws, we cannot but anxiously deplore that you have not placed your exertions for that repeal on a broader, and we think, a wiser basis of practical utility. We exceedingly regret that you should confine your patriotic exertions to that subject alone —we doubly regret that you hare not directed your views, and employed your great powers to promote also the extension of the Parliamentary suffrage, so that every adult male, undo graded by fatuity, and unstained by crime, may have his just right to vote for a Representative in Parliament, recog nised and enforced. We do not mean to say, or to insi- nuate, that you ought) to relax, much less to give up your exertions to obtain a repeal of the Corn-laws ; but we do say that you might easily, and, as matter of right judgment that you ought, combine with your exertions for the repeal of the Corn-laws, ahealthy agitation to obtain that right of voting which is called by some " Complete suffrage," and by others " Uni versal Suffrage." Recollect, we conjure you, that the present Parliament consists of class legislators,they belong to one class, the aristocracy of wealth ; and whether they have obtained their seats, as many of them have certainly done, by coercion and corruption in the agricultural districts, or by bribery, debauchery, and perjury in many towns and cities, yet the result is, that the Parliament instead of being the representatives of all, is constituted as the representation, and in the interests, of the landlord and wealthy classes exclusively. Until, therefore, you set about in earnest to seek for a broader basis of Parliamentary representation, you never will be able to coerce the present occupants of power into an abandonment of their selfish and grovelling, but most oppressive monopoly. Besides. you cannot expect that those who consider the exten sion of the suffrage a paramount object will consent to aid you in looking for the repeal of the Corn-laws, until you, on your part, consent to assist them in working out that extension. We do not by any means laud the conduct of the Chartists, who refuse to assist in seeking for cheap bread until their political t ights are obtained ; on the contrary, we deem it entire folly on their part so to refuse. But do not they allege that the example of exclusive actii.n is given by you who struggle for that which should be the end—namely, " cheap food," whilst you neglect the means of obtaining that cheap food, namely, the extension of the franchise to the la bouring classes ? Will not many declare that there is a want of practical good sense upon both parts—we do not say so, but others will proclaim it—a want of practicability on your parts in refusing to look for political rights, until you have got cheap food—a want of wisdom on the part of the Chartists in refusing to insist on cheap food until after they shall have attained their political rights. We do therefore conjure you to consider these suggestions maturely and deli berately ; they come from ardent friends of. your cause, from supporters of the abolition of all taxation upon human food, strong in their convictions of the iniquity of such taxation, and ready to join the voice of millions with yours to destroy that robbery of the poor, which has for its object to advance the interests of a sordid aristocracy. Anxious as we are to combine all classes of those who seek for political ame lioration, we conjure you to meditate attentively upon the ad vice we respectfully offer you, and to assure you that you shall always meet the entire sympathy and ardent and unrelaxing support of the people of Ireland. ( Signed by order) DANIEL O'CONN ELL, M.P., Chairman, T. M. RAY, Secretary. To the Secretary of the Anti-Corn-law Conference, London. The CHAIRMAN then read the following letter, which had been prepared by the Executive Committee, as a reply to that of the Repeal Association : THE CONFERENCE OF PEPUTIES or THE NATIONAL ANTI CORN-LAW LEAGUE TO THE LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION OF IRELAND. Gentlemen,—We beg to acknowledge the receipt of your address, and to assure you that the approbation you express of our object and our exertions is exceedingly grateful to us. We have maturely and deliberately considered the purport of your Address, and beg to offer the following remarks, which are tendered in that spirit of honesty and brotherly feeling by which your communication to us is distinguished. The Anti- Corn-law League was organised for the accom plishment of oNE object—the entire abolition of the Corn-law. By its constitution and rules, it is absolutely prevented from engaging in any other agitation. We believe that any departure from this fundamental principle would give occasion for great rejoicing to our opponents, and would annihilate the League, and be in reality—as it would certainly be held to be—a victory on the side of the monopolists. We believe the Corn-law may be repealed—nay, must be lepealed by this Parliament ; and that the ground of past failure is no good reason why we should abandon our present course. We have not failed. Our progress has been one of continued success, and at this moment the supporters of the famine-laws are staggering, and their ranks are giving way. To say that , because by the labours of four years we have not wholly de stroyed the Corn• laws, we must conclude that our present mode of action is insufficient, appears to us a view which our ex perience does not lead us to adopt. It is probable that no other great agitation has ever made so much real progress in public opinion in so short a time, and the instance of success in the pursuit of the noble cbjeet of Catholic Emancipation, under the guidance of the distinguished patriot who still presides over you, stands forth to encourage us to proceed, and demonstrates to us that our complete success can riot be far distant. We do not interfere as a League with any other good object. We do not oppose it in anyway, nor do we ostensibly forward it ; but every man must perceive that to lay bare the iniquity of the Corn-law is to further the objects of Parliamentary Reformers, and the public well know that many of our warm friends are anxiously assistieg in the_ prosecution of every good and pa triotic undertaking. We thank you for the offer of your co-operation. We shall rejoice to have it. We know how the Corn-law grinds down the noble people whom you represent, and we wish to unite with them in determined efforts to procure its abolition. We assure you that we sympathise with the objects of every patriotic institution, and with every rr an who labours for his country's good. We feel that, with our cause is indissolubly bound up our country's welfare, and we are resolved not to relax in our exertions until the inhuman , Corn-laws be entirely abolished. On behalf of the Conference, P. A. TAYLOR, Chairman. King's Arms, Palace-yard, London, July 18, 1842. Mr. BRIGHT rose to propose the adoption of the above reply. He thought it would be easy to convince any person who looked dispassionately at the question, that the dissolution of the Anti-Corn-law League would neither promote the cause of Corn-law repeal nor the exten sion of the Suffrage. There appeared to him to be great unfairness in the course pursued by the Chartists and others. They created a dissension and then made that dissension a ground for dissolving the League. The re peal of the Corn-law might be obtained without a junc tion of parties having different objects, and it was not fair to argue as though a junction of parties was ab solutely necessary to its success.—(Hear, hear.) He maintained that the repeal of the Corn-laws would give to the working classes a great increase of power, which they might exert in obtaining an extension of the Suffrage, and in other ways to improve their condition. It was well known to those who were acquainted with them that nearly all their political institutions were powerless for want of funds; that their lecturers were scarcely able to support themselves; that the sale of their publications was greatly diminished, and that their children were growing up in a state of ignorance, which would render the Suffrage of little use to them, if at some future time it was placed in their hands ; and they were made thus helpless by the monopoly which the Anti- Corn-law League were endeavouring to remove.— (Hear, hear.) In all attacks it was desirable first to bring their force to bear upon the weake,t part. The course which they were advised to take was one which would give the aristocracy the assistance of a large portion of the middle classes.—(Hear, hear.) The 'progress which they had hitherto made could not but be satisfactory to all the frier.ds of the cause, whilst, if they dissolved, in order to seek a change in the re presentation, a degree of injury would be inflicted on the country before that object could be attained, which no after legislation would be able to repair. He believed that the Anti-Corn-law League had been a pioneer in the work of national regeneration; that by removing the Corn-laws they would remove the obstacle to the attain ment of other political rights, and that they would pro mote the extension of the Suffrage itself by persevering in the course which they had pursued; and on these grounds he begged. to move that this answer be sent from the Conference to the Irish National Repeal Association. Mr. T. WOOLEY seconded the motion, which was adopted unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then read the following letter from Mr. Joseph Sturge TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING OF DEPUTIES IN LONDON, FOR PROCURING THE ABOLITION OF THE CORN AND PROVISION-LAWS. Though I have for some time ceased to contribute any aid in promotion of the objects of the Anti-Corn-law League, I have received an urgent request to promote the appointment of Deputies from this place to the meeting in London, but, on in quiry of the Secretary of the Anti-Corn-law Society here, I find that no meeting is likely to be called for this purpose. With regard to myself individually, I can assure the Deputies that my absence is not caused from any alteration in my opinion of the enormous evil of these laws, but I am persuaded that there is no 'prospect of obtaining their abolition, except through a full, fair, and free representation of the people, and that it is for the attainment of this great object alone that" a general and hearty co-operation of the working classes can be obtained. Should the failure of the present efforts of those with whom I have long acted in the promotion of the abolition of the Corn-laws lead them to the same conclusion, I would respect fully appeal to them seriously to consider whether they are not called upon actively to co-operate with the exertions now mak ing to procure, a full, fair, and free representation in the House of Commons, a large proportion of the present Members of which House have obtained their seats by commission or sanction of acts of a far deeper dye than those which they enact laws to punish. I am respectfullly, JOSEPH STURGE. Birmingham, 7th month 4th, 1842. ---- [(The Meeting had not concluded when we went to Press.) When Frys and Chapman, the Quaker bankers, failed, a member of the Society of Friends took his account to Jones Loyd. "We think von right Friend," said the senior partner ; " It is wiser to place thy money with a rich sinner than a poor taint,"—Dr. Hardcastle's Bank and Banking, GREAT AND GLORIOUS ESCAPE . FROM BRITISH TYRANNY. It is with great ph asure that we have to announce the arrival in this city of the first of those poor fel lows who, taken in Canada for rebellion, and trans ported to Van Diemen's Land, has been enabled to make his escape back to this country. The person we allude to came into our office yes terday, with his cheek flushed with health and delight, his eye beaming with pride and pleasure at once more eaching his native land, and his heart full of gratitude to God for his escape from British tyranny. His name is James Gammell. He is about 28 years of age ; was born in New York , b rou g ht u p in . Canada, and during the troubles there, was taken under Colonel James Monroe, at Short Hills, Upper Canada, in the summer of 1838. Monroe was hung ; Gammell was sentenced to be hung on the 25th of August, 1838, but was reprieved, sent to England with John S. Parker, and twenty -two others, And thence transported to Van Diemen's Land for life, with about seventy more Americans. Gammell and eleven others were sent out from England, in the ship Canton, to Hobart Town, on the 22d September, 1839, and reached there January 16, 1840. They were all sent one hundred miles into the interior, to work on the great road leading across the island from Hobart Town to Launceston. Here •they worked in irons for two years. After that, Lord John Rus ell sent out orders to mitigate their condition. They then recived each a " ticket of leave," and were allowed to work at their respective trades, on their own account, but still to be kept confined to the in terior, and never allowed to go to any seaport on the island. Gammell, however, was allowed a pass by the Magistrate of the district to go to Hobart Town to get a model for a stump machine. And with that he stumped the British authorities ; for by the assistance of some American sailors, .then at Hobart Town, he made his escape on board of an American whale-ship, and reached this city in fine health and spirits on last Wednesday at high noon, being the first of the American prisoners who has made his escape from Van Diemen's Land. His numerous hair-breadth escapes we will give at length hereafter. In the meantime the poor fellow wishes us to state that the following American pri soners have died there since he went out :—Peter Williams, of United States ; Alexander M'Leod, Gerard Van Camp, of Canada ; John James M'Miller, of Canada ; Mr. Priest, Jefferson County, New York ; and Mr. Curtis. The following have been sent to work in the coal mines for two years, for trying to make their escape from the island :—Symes W. Miller, Chatauque ; Joseph Stewart, New York ; W. Reynolds, do; Horace Cooley, London, U. C.; Mr. Murray, do; Jacob Paddock, Kingston. In these coal-mines there are 1,000 men at work. Gammell says that he left 76 prisoners still there of the patriot party, mostly united States' citizens, and all in bondage, employed by released convicts in vari ous trades.—New York Paper. THE REGENCY IN FRANCE. The law of regency has been the cause of infinite discussion ever since the earliest ages of the _French monat chy. In no country of Europe have there been so many regencies—in none have the principles on which regencies are appointed re mained so long uncertain—and in none have they been attended with more disastrous controversies. _ _ It would appear that under the Kings of the earlier races the established practice of the realm (if anything in those rude ages was established) gave the guardianship of a minor King to his mother, and the political power of the Regent to his eldest male relation. But these rules were constantly violated. The Capetian race mounted the throne by a usurpation of the powers of the regency of Louis V. When Philip Augustus succeeded to the Crown, it appears probable that the regency and guardianship were divided between the Count of Flanders and the Queen-Mother. The minority of St. Louis was un doubtedly protected by the regency of his mother, Queen Blanche, in spite of the opposition of the King's uncle. I n the 14th century, however, after the deaths of Louis-Hutin and Charles-le-Bel, the regency passed to the eldest male rela tive, next in the order of succession to the Throne, and this principle was sanctioned by no less than four ordinances of re gency in 50 years. The, first and only law of the French monarchy, however, on the. subject, is the perpetual and irrevocable edict of 1407, which enacted that Kings, during their minority, should go vern by the " good advice, deliberations, and counsel of the Queens, their mothers, if they were alive, and of the nearest in lineage and of the blood royal, who might then be living." In spite of the occasional violation of this edict, its provisions were generally confirmed by the testamentary orders of dying Sovereigns, and the powers of the Regent have usually been exercised in France by the Queen-Mother. On the death of Francis 11. in 1560, the regency devolved on Catherine of Medicis, mother of Charles IX., in spite of the adverse claims of the King of Navarre. The rights of a Queen-Mother to the regency in Franee were never more solemnly recognized than after the assassination of Henry IV., and Maly of Medicis a,sumed, with the full consent of the Parliament, the chief au thority on behalf of her son. At the close of the reign of Louis XIII. the same power was exercised by Anne of Austria, and the Duke of Orleans was appointed Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom, under the orders of that Princess, with the assist ante of a council. The last important regency in France was in a manner usurped on the death of Louis XIV. by the Duke of Orkans ; but it is a remarkable fact that for more than 250 years almost every reign either began or ended by a regency, and in almost all eases the Queen-Mother was the person who held that high trust. A positive law on the subject was at length passed by the Constituent Assembly in the constitution of 1793, which en acted that the " Regency belongs to the King'skinsman nearest in degree according to the succession to the throne, provided he he 25 years old, a Frenchman, and an inhabitant of the kingdom ; and that he be not the heir-presumptive to another throne; and that he have before taken the civic oath. Fe males are excluded from the regency." This enact ment was confirmed as respects the exclusion of women by the senatus-consultum of 1804 ; but in 1813 Napoleon appointed Maria Louisa regent of the empire during his ab sence ; and in his abdication in the following year he declared for the rights of " the Regency in the person of the Empress" during the minority of his son. But this case, like the nomi nation of Louis Philippe himself to the post of Lieutenant- General of the Kingdom in 18.30, was the result of a fatal emergency, and was instantly frustrated by the course of events. Thse precedents have, of course, no paramount or irre fragable authority on the question, which, after all, must be decided, as it ever has been, and will be now, by a legislative act pro re nata. But, without attempting to prejudge the course which the French Government will recommend on this momentous occasion, the circumstances have induced us to look back to the annals of the French monarchy, which are but too replete with instances of a similar necessity, and, it must be added, with the deplorable consequences of these calamities. DERBY. • SPO RTIN(j INTELLIGENCE. TAT'FERSALL'S—YESTERDAT. THE Goonwoon STAKES.—The Knight of the Whis tlso was backed freely in good quarters, and at the close of t i le betting had a clear lead of at least three_points ; the tak ers would have gone on at the price quoted. Two or three bets 0 1 b to 1 and 13 to 2 agst St. Lawrence were followed by offers to lay 7 and Bto 1, but by none "to take." Helpmate began at 20 to 1, and was backed to win a large stake .at those and other odds, the lowest being 1,000 to 80 ; the last bet was at 15 to 1. Retriever was also introduced at 20 to 1, and in spite of his defeat at Liverpool, and of his engagement this day at Southampton, those odds were taken to win several thousands. Daddy Longlegs had a strong party at an iniproc ing figure, offer!, of 10 to 1 each agst Tupsley and Rhodanthep were made repeatedly and in vain. THE GOODWOOD CUP.—Takers of 5 to 1 about Thel Squire, of 12 to 1 about iMarshal Soult, and 12 to 1 (15 to laid at starting) about Sleight of Hand ; the only bet we heard agst St. Lawrence was 1,100 to 100. Moneeda had two or thee friends at 10 to 1 , but neither Aliddlekam nor Pria m (the ea- ee mew horse) were in demand.

A SUICIDAL FAMlLY. — Yesterday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock, one of the most extraordinary attempts at self-destruction ever known was made by a family of the tame of Daly, who, though usually residing at Safforon-hill, or the neighbourhood of Smithfield, Ave no settled habitatiin. The father John Daly, who is about fort y y ears of a g e, and now in custody, has been one of the most incorrigible beggars on the town for many years. His left lea has been amputated at the thigh, and he consequently has to use a crutch ; his right foot has lost all the toes, as he says, by exposure to the fr"st, in Quebec ; and one of the two children, always aceom panying him, is suffering from the same cause. Yesterday afternoon, soon after four o'clock, he act: , sted, accompanie4 by his children, police constable Casson, 339, who was - on duty near the late Alderman Waithman's shop, and addressed him in the following strange way :—" Policeman, I beg your par don for what I have done." Casson could not understand what he meant, and told him and his children to go away, which they did, In ten minutes after, Daly and his family were on the centre of Blackfriars Bridge, and taking an opportunity, cripple though he was, he got on the balustrade over the centre of the middle arch, and leaped into the middle, of the stream. His son was about to do the same desperate act, but was caught by a passenger over the bridge who had witnessed what the father had done. Robert and Richard Ware, who ply at Blackfriars-bridge, saw something falling from the para pet, and thought it was a cat that had been thrown over, until they saw the arms of a man above the water; They instantly nut off in a wherry, but Daly had got off Paul's-wharf, in Thames-street, before he could be rescued ;. he wa4 then taken to the Fortune of War in Thames-street, where every attention • was paid to him, and afterwards on a stretcher to Bartholomew's Hospital ; here also the surgcons rendered every assistance, and when sufficiently well he was taken to the station-house. He stated to Inspector Martin that his reason for committing the act was because his wife was confined, and that he and his children were in such a state , of destitution that he could bear it no long e r. The whole occurrence did not occupy ten minutes. EFFECTS OF DR IT NKENNESS.—On Tuesday after noon some fishermen at Fisherrow observed a chaise a consi derable distance out at sea, and nearly immersed in the water. They immediat e ly manned thciir boats and pulled off to rescue the driver, who was seated on the coach-box, though little more than his head was above the water, and another man seated on the top of the carriage. On coming near, they found that the horses had got entangled in the harness, and were nearly drowned : the fishermen cut the harness, and with great difficulty succeeded in bringing horses and men safely to land. The driver of the coach, whose name was Laing, had been at Haddington, and on his return, when in a state of intoxication, had left the main road and gone into the sea, where he, with the other man and the horses, would inevitably have been drowned but for the exertions of the fishermen,Edinburgh Witness.
