It is not probable that speculative business will be entered into until the result of the measures at present before Parliament be ascertained. The delay in settling these questions is beginning to be seriousiy felt, merchants and tradesmen being alike unwilling to enter into contracts previously to ascertaining what will and what will not be carried. Consols remain at 891 ; 4 1 , fur Money, and 89i for the Account ; the New Three -and a-half per Cents., 991 to 991 ; India Bonds, 9 to 11, and Exchequer Bills 27 to 30 premium.

Intelligence sixteen days later has been received from Rio Janiero, by a vessel bound for Hamburgh, which con firms the dull state of commercial affairs there, mentioned in The Sun of yesterday. The exchange on England had fallen to 281 d. The packet of the. 10th December had not arrived out when this ship left, The following letter is posted at the North and South American Coffee-house ‘‘ Liverppol, March 29th. " A gentleman at our port has this day received a letter from a relative of his in Havanna, stating that a pro tracted and serious correspondence had taken place be tween the English Consul and Spanish Governor, re garding the new line of steamers. The authorities there were also at variance with the planters, in consequence of some prohibitory duties which had been laid on. The guards were reinforced, the vessels of war were held in readiness to act promptly, if necessary .; and all the offi cers had received orders to be at their posts in the castles at eight o'clock. The cause of these precautions had not transpired, but there was general discontent amongst the inhabitants, and if the British Consul should meet with, full support from England, he would most probably be enabled to accomplish his views. The above is nothing but what might have been ex pected from the previous information. It would really appear that the Spanish authorities there were making every effort to bring themselves into col lision with other countries, a, proceeding which they can very ill afford, considering the revenues of the colony have been mortgaged by the mother conntry for some years to come. It is considered that no relaxation in his demands should be made by our Consul, it being of the utmost importance to the success of the new line of steamers that they should have equal facilities granted to them there as have been given in all other parts ; and that if the question .in dispute be yielded, the safety of our trade will be somewhat jeopardized.

The prosecutor and his assistant stated that the pri soner, William Knight, walked into the shop, which was within a short distance of the Refuge for the Destitute, in Playhouse-yard, and was constantly surrounded by, miserable creatures like them, when they said they were fainting with hunger, and unless some were given them they should take it by force: Upon being refused they seized upon a loaf, which they took out and divided it with the other prisoners. A constable was sent for, and upon his arrival, in a few minutes, they were given into hiS charge, not having shown the slightest inclina tion to escape, althbugh they could have readily done so before he came. The prisoners did not deny having taken the bread, but said actual famine compelled theni, as they had not tasted food for two days. They came severally from Chester, Gloucester, Someriet, and Yorkshire to look for work in London, but could get none, and the only re source, therefore; that was open to save them from the worst of all death's, that of starvation, was to commit some crime for which they should be sent to gaol. The prosecutor requested the case might be dealt with summarily, as he had no wish to - act severely towards the unfortunate starving beings. Sir P. LAURIE salt he felt bound to commit them for trial, although- he ifigied he could adopt some other means with cases like the. present, where sheer distress was the inducing cause "of crime ; but he had not the power as a Magistrate to pass them to their parishes, and he must protect thelkol - !erty of the honest and industri ous tradesman.

SINGULAR CHARGE.- Thomas Hancock, a private soldier in the Grenadiers, and who we observed bore a stripe for good conduct, "and -Jane Coleman, a. pretty young woman, were. placed. at the bar on suspicion of stealing an infant, three weeks old, under the following extraorinary circumstances : John Brewer, the, complainant, who is a porter at Covent-garden-market, stated that last night about seven o'clock, he and his wife, with their two children, one a baby of three weeks old and the other a child two-arid a-half years old, fell into company with the two pri soners, and went to the Sugar Loaf, King-street, Drury-lane, where they drank about two pots of porter together. Soon after this witness's wife said she wanted to go home for a little time; upon which the female prisoner said " Give me your baby, I'll take care of it for you.". The mother then went away, and witness and the prisoners resumed their seats. Shortly afterwards, however, the female prisoner got up, and was going out. Witness asked her where she was going to, and the soldier re plied, " Oh, it's all right ; let her go." She then went out, and, not returning in half an hour, witness began to feel uneasy, and'asked the male prisoner where the woman was gone with his baby. He replied, " I don't know; let 's go and look for•her." They then went Volt, but not succeeding in finding her, witness gave the pri soner into custody, as an accomplice. From in formation which witness received, he took police man 121 F With him about twelve o'clock last night to Shire-lane, where they found the prisoner in bed. On entering her room she tried to corer herself over with the bedclothes.. Witness said to her, "'Tell me where my ,child is." The girl replied, " I've not got it, it's my mother." He had since been told that if he went to No. 4, Exeter-street, he should find the baby. He accord ingly went there this morning, and he saw two females standing at the door, who said that the prisoner's mother was a " second hand" there, where she had lived up till yesterday, but that she did not reside there now. He went into every room but one, and could not find his child. In that room which he did not search a female was in bed, and he did not like to enter it ; he had no doubt, however, now, but that if the Magistrate would send a policeman thoroughly to search that house, the child would be found, as, from information he had received this morning from persons outside the Court, he was convinced that his child was there. In reply to questions from Mr. JARDINE; the com plainant stated that he was perfectly sober at the time the baby was lost. He could give no reason for stealing his baby, except to make a property of it. Mr. JARDINE said he .did not think that very likely. Indeed it was a very odd story altogether. Police Constable 1' 121, who took. the soldier into custody, said the complainant was quite drunk at the time, so much so, indeed, that witness refused to take the charge for a long time on that account. The soldier was quite sober. Thomas Hancock when called on for his defence, in a manly straightforward manner spoke' as follows : Please your Worship, in the afternoon about four o'clock, 1 left the barracks and was proceeding along Castle-street, when a young woman came up to me and said, " Soldier, 'will you give me a glass of ale," I said, ." I am going somewhere to get a pint, I don't mind if I do." We then went into a public-house near Rupert-street, where we had not been long when the complainant, his wife, and two children came in ; the two females got into conversation, and the man brought over his pot to me and asked me to drink; I did so and returned the compliment by asking him to drink from mine; we were very comfortable, and. remained in con versation nearly an hour; I then got up and said, " Now I must go, it's nearly parade time." I then asked him if he should 'be there after parade, he said no he should not, but he asked me to meet them in the evening at the Sugar Loaf in King-street, Drury-lane. We then parted and I went to parade. After parade I was going towards King-street, looking for the Sugar Loaf, when I met the woman who had the baby, and she took me to the -house, where I found the man, his wife, and child. The wife soon after went out, and the woman who had the child went to look for her as she said. The complainant then called for a fiddle, and his wife almost directly canoe in, 'and they all began to dance. The woman who had the child, however, did not return. They asked me where she was. I said I did not know ; but I did not say it was all sight when the woman went out. I never knew any of the parties till yesterday, and as for the young woman who stands by my side, I never saw her till this morning ; she is not the woman at all who was drinking with us, or who had the child. When the man said he had some suspicions of. me, I at once gave myself up to th 1 landlord, and said I considered myself in custody. Mr. Collins, the landlord of the Sugar Loaf, corroborated the latter part of the prisoner's state ment. He said the female prisoner had not been at his house at all, the woman who was in their company was considerably taller, and was dressed altoge ther differently ; he remembered the woman perfectly. Mrs. Brewer, the mother of the lost baby, then went into the witness-box, but declared that she was un able to recognise the female prisoner, as she had been drinking. Mr. JARDINE remarked on the wickedness and impro- priety of a woman, only three weeks over her confine ment, getting drunk and dancing at a public-house ; whilst he deeply regretted the loss the complainant had sustained, he should certainly not be justified on the evi dence of a drunken man, which had been contradicted, in detaining either of the prisoners, they should there fore be discharged. Brewer then applied for a warrant to search the house, No. 4, Exeter-street, but it was refused. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Darius Shepherd,. a young man fashionably dressed, and with much the appearance of a foreigner, and wear ing mustachios, was charged with wilful damage under the following circumstances :—Mr. William Robinson, the landlord of the Crown Tavern, at the corner of Glasshome-street and Marylebone•street, Regent-street, stated that about half-past seven o'clock last evening the defendant presented himself in front of the bar, and called for a glass of Hollands and water, but with which he was refused to be served, as he was evidently then in a state of intoxication. He, however, persisted in remaining there, causing some interruption to the business being carried on ; but at length, in a burst of " indignation," he seized hold of a pair of fold ing doors, and dashed them from him with such tre mendous violence that they were torn from their hold ings, and two patent spring hinges broken, so as to be past repair, and other injuries done, the estimated amount of which was between 14s. and 15s. . Mr. MALTY said, the damage must be paid, and the defendant was then removed to the lock-up cells, but in about a quarter of an hour was liberated, the required sum being forthcoming through the agency of a friend. seen hi twist it off, though he might have done so. That he was willing to pay the owner for the damage done, and let there be no more about it. Mr. CoomnE—What are you ? Prisoner —Nothing. • Mr. CoomnE—Do you allege you did not commit the act ? Prisoner—Oh, I believe I. did. Mr. CoomnE—You must replace the-knocker, and pay a fine of 20s. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before Serjeant ADAMS and a Bench of Magistrates.) These Sessions commenced this morning, before Mr. Serjeant Adams and a Bench of Magistrates. The Grand Jury having been addressed by the Learned Chairman on the nature of their duties, retired to their room, and shortly afterwards r e t u r ne d i n t o C our t w ith several bills. PICKING POCKETS.—John Smith and Thomas Keefe were indicted for picking pockets. The prisoners, who were both very young, pleaded not guilty. It ap peared that a policeman had seen the prisoners in Leicester-square, prowling about, and saw one of them draw a handkerchief from the pocket of a person passing, and hand it to the other. The policeman int, mediately took them into custody with the handkerchief in their possession. Mr. PAYNE addressed the Jury for the prisoner Smith. The Jury found them both Guilty, and the Court sen tenced Keefe, who had previously been convicted of fe lony, to ten years transportation, and Smith to 6 months imprisonment. FOWL STEALING.—George Alien, Richard Brooker, Thomas Lillywall, and Charles Bailey, were convicted of stealing 13 tame live fowls, the property of Thos. Jeffry. Allen and Brooker, who were old offenders, were each sentenced to six months imprisonment with hard labour, six weeks of the time to be passed in solitary confine ment; and the other two to three months imprisonment each, three weeks of the time to be passed in solitary con finement. SHAMEFUL CONDUCT OF A POLICE WITNESS.— Edward Neal was indicted for stealing a pair of boots value 2s. the property of W. Field. The prosecutor keeps a marine-store shop in Great Peter-street, Westminster, On the day. of the robbery the proSecutor's wife missed a pair of boots from the window, and on looking out she Eaw the prisoner fitting on the boots on the street. She collared him. He extricated hiinself from her, and was immediately stopped by the policeman, B 39, who took him to the station-house. . The prisoner, in his defence, said that he was a stoker in the employ of the Westminster Steam Packet Company; that he had been employed by a gentlemen to take a parcel from the Golden Cross, Charing Cress, to Vaux hall, for which he had been : paid one shilling ; that on his .return through Peter-street, a boy offered him the boots and asked a shilling for them; but that ultimately he purchased them ofthe boy for sixpence; that he was - in the act of fitting them on when the prosecutrix made her appearance, and the boy who had retained possession of one of the boots ran off with that and the prisoner's sixpence. There were various circumstances which seemed to:cor roborate this account. The prosecutrix, on looking out had seen a boy standing by the. prisoner with one of the boots in his band, and on her approach the boy had decamped, taking the boot with him. The CHAIRMAN—MCI the prisoner give the same ac count at the station-house ? Policeman 39—He gave a very fictions account, your Worship. -.! The CHAIRMAN—What did he say ? Policeman— He said he had been a stoker. The CHAIRMAN—I - dont mean that; did he give the same account about purchasing the boots ? Policeman —He gave a factious, your worship. The: CHAIRMAN—Did he say he had purchased the boots of a boy for sixpence ?—(Prisoner—l did.) Po liceman—He said he had bought them for sixpence. '- A Juryman—What was found on him when he was searched ? Policeman-- 7 -Two keys and a knife ; that was all. Prisoner—And six pennyworth of halfpence, which the boy had given me change. The CHAIRMAN—Was there sixpennyworth of half. pence found on him ? 'Policeman—There were a few halfpence ; I do not know how many. Prisoner—There was sixpennyworth, and they were returned to me by the inspector. The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty, the Chair man having expressed his opinion that the prisoner's ac count was correct. To the surprise of every one present the Court al lowed the policeman his expenses. -SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) CHELTENHAM STEEPLE CHASES (CONCLUDED:) ' TUESDAY. The first.

The following is a copy of the reply addressed by the Earl of Aberdeen to Mr. Everett, the successor of Mr. Stevenson, as American Minister in thiS country . " The undersigned, &c., has the honour of addressing to Mr. Everett, &c., the observations which he feels called upon to make in - answer to the note of Mr. Ste venson, dated on the 21st of October. " As that communication only reached the hands of the undersigned on the day after the departure of Mr. Stevenson. from London, on his return to America, and as there has since been no Minister or Charge d'Affaires from the United States resident in this country, the undersigned has looked with some anxiety , for the ar rival of Mr. Everett, in order that he might be enabled to renew his diplomatic intercourse with an accre dited representative of the republic. had the under signed entertained no other purpose than to controvert the arguments of Mr. Stevenson, or to fortify his own, in treating of tie matter which has formed the subject of their correspondence, he would have experienced little impatience ; but as it is his desire to clear up doubt and to remove misapprehension, he feels that he cannot too early avail himself of the presence of Mr. Everett at his post to bring to his knowledge the true state of the ques tion at issue. " The V undersigned agrees with Mr. Stevenson in the importance of arriving at a clear understanding of the mat ter really in dispute. This ought to be the first object in the differences of states as well as individuals ; and, happily, it is often the first step to the reconciliation of the parties. In-the present case this understanding is doubly essential, because a continuance of mistake and error may be productive of the most serious consequences. " Mr. Stevenson persists in contending, that the Bri tish Government assert a right which is equivalent to the claim of searching American_ vessels in time of peace. In proof of this, Mr. Stevenson refers to a passage in a former note of Viscount Palmerston, addressed to himself, against which he strongly protests, and the doctrine contained in which he says that the undersigned is un derstood to affirm. _ _ " Now, it is not the intention of the undersigned to inquire into the precise import and force of the expres sions of Viscount Palmerston. These might have been easily explained to Mr. Stevenson by their author at the time they were written ; but the undersigned must re quest that his doctrines upon this subject, and those of the Government of which he is the organ, may be judged of exclusively from his own declarations. " The undersigned again renounces, as he has already done, in the most explicit terms, any right on the part of the British Government to search American vessels in the time of peace. - The right of search, except when specially conceded by treaty, is a purely belligerent right, and can have no existence on the high seas during peace. The undersigned apprehends, however, that the right of search is not confined to the verification of the nationality of the vessel, but also extends to the object of the voyage and the nature of the cargo. The sole purpose of the British cruisers is to ascer tain whether the vessels they meet with are really Ame rican or not. The right asserted has, hi truth, no re semblance to the right of search either in principle or in practice. It is simply a right to satisfy the party who has a legitimate interest in knowing the truth that the vessel actually is what' her colours announce. This right we concede as freely as we exercise. The British cruisers are not instructed to detain American vessels under any circumstances whatever ; on the contrary, they are ordered to' abstain from all interference with them, be they slavers or otherwise. But where reason able suspicion exists that the American flag has been abused for the purpose of covering the vessel of another nation, it would appear scarcely credible, had it not been made manifest by the repeated protestations of their Re presentative, that the Government of the United States, which has stigmatized and abolished the trade itself , should object to the adoption of such means as are in dispensably necessary for ascertaining the truth. " The undersigned had contended in his former note that the legitimate inference from the arguments of Mr. Stevenson would practically extend even - to the sanction of piracy, when the persons engaged in it should think fit to shelter themselves under the flag of the United States. Mr. Stevenson observes that this is a misappre hension on.the part of the undersigned ; and he declares that in denying the right of interfering with vessels under the American flag he intended to limit his objec tion to vessels bona fide American, and not to those be longing to nations who might fraudulently have assumed the flag of the United States. But it appears to the undersigned that his former statement is by no means satisfactorily controverted by the declaration of Mr. Stevenson. How is this bona fide to be proved? Must not Mr. Stevenson either be prepared to maintain that the flag alone is sufficient evidence of the nationality of the vessel, which, in the face of his own repeated admis sions, he cannot do, or must he not confess that the ap lication of his arguments would really afford protection to every lawless and piratical enterprise? The undersigned had als' expressAl his belief that the practice Was general of ascertaining, by visit, the real character of any vessel on the high seas against which there should exist reasonable grounds of suspi cion. Mr. Stevenson denies this, and he asks what other nation than Great Britain has ever asserted or attemp ed to exercise such a right ? In answer to this question, the undersigned can at once refer to the avowed and con stant practice of the United States, whose cruisers, especially in the Gulf, of Mexico, by the admission of tneir public journals, are notoriously in the habit of exa mining all suspicious vessels, whether sailing under the English flag or any other. In whose eyes are these vessels suspicious ? Doubtless in those of the com manders of the American cruisers. But, in truth, this right is quite as important to the United States as to Great Britain ; nor is it easy to conceive how the ma ritime intercourse of mankind could be safely carried on without such a check. "It can scarcely be necessary to remind Mr. Everett that the right thus claimed by Great Britain is not exer cised for any selfish purpose. It is asserted in the in terest of humanity, and in mitigation of the sufferings of our fellow-men. The object has met with the concur rence of the whole civilized world, including the United States of America, and it ought to receive universal assistance and support. " The undersigned cannot abstain here from referring to the conduct of an honourable and zealous officer com manding the naval force of the United States on the coast of Africa, who, relying on the sincere desire of his Government for the suppression of the slave trade, and. sensible of the abuse of the American flag, entered into an engagement on the 11th of March, 1840, with the officer in command of Her Majesty's cruisers on the same station, by which they mutually requested each other, and agreed to detain all vessels under American colours employed in the traffic. If found to be American property, such vessels were to be delivered over to the commander of any American cruiser on the station ; or if belonging to other nations, they were to be dealt with according to the treaties contracted by her Majesty with the respective States. The undersigned believes, and, indeed, after the statements of Mr. Stevenson he regrets to be unable to doubt, that the conduct of this gallant officer, however natural, and laudable in its object, has been disavowed by his Government. "It is not the intention of the undersigned at present to advocate the justice and propriety of the mutual right of search, as conceded and regulated by treaty ; or to weigh the reasons on account of which thia.proposal has been rejected by the Government of the United States. He took occasion in a former .note to observe that con cessions sanctioned by Great Britain and France were not likely to be incompatible with the dignity and inde pendence of any other state which should be disposed to follow their example. But the undersigned begs now to inform Mr. Everett that he has this clay concluded a joint treaty with France, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, by which the mutual right of search, within certain lati tudes, is fully and effectually established for ever. This is, in truth, a holy alliance, in which the undersigned would have rejoiced to see the United States assume their proper place among the Great Powers of Christen dbm, foremost in power, wealth, and civilization, and connected together in the cause of mercy and justice. " It is undoubtedly true that this right may be abused, like every other which is delegated to .many and dif ferent hands. It is possible that it may be exercised wantonly and vexatiously ; and, should this be the case, it would not only call for remonstrance, but would jus tify resentment. This, however, is in the highest de gree improbable, and if, in spite of the utmost caution, an error should be committed, and any American vessel should suffer loss or injury, it would be followed by prompt and ample reparation. The undersigned begs to repeat that with American vessels, whatever be their destination, British cruisers have no pretension in any manner to interfere. Such vessels must be permitted, if engaged in it, to enjoy a monopoly of this unhallowed trade • but the British Government will never endure that the fraudulent use of the American flag shall ex tend the iniquity to other nations, by whom it is ab horred, and who have entered into solemn treaties with this country for its entire suppression. " In order to prove to Mr. Everett the anxiety of.her Majesty's Government to prevent all reasonable ground of complaint, the undersigned believes that he cannot do better than to communicate to him the substance of hose instructions under which the British cruisers act n relation to American vessels when employed on this service. " If, from the intelligence which the officer command ing her Majesty's cruiser may have received, or from the manoeuvres of the vessel, or from other sufficient cause, he shall have reason to believe, that although bearing the American flag, the vessel does not belong to the ,United States, he is ordered, if the state of the wind and weather shall admit of it, to go ahead of the suspected vessel, after communicating his intention by hailing, and to drop a boat on board of her to ascertain her nation ality, without detaining her, if she shall prove to be really an American vessel. But should this mode of visiting the vessel prove to be impracticable, he is to re quire her to be brought to for this purpose. The officer who boards the vessel is merely to satisfy himself of her nationality, by her papers or other proofs, and, should she really be an American vessel, he will immediately quit her, offering, with the consent of her Commander, to note on her papers the cause of suspecting her nation ality, and the number of minutes she was detained (if detained at all) for the object in question. All the par ticulars are to be immediately entered in the logbook of the cruiser, and a full statement of them is to be sent by the first opportunity direct to England. " These are the precautions taken by her Majesty's Government against the occurrence of abuse in the per formance of this service ; and they are ready to adopt any others which they may think more effectual for the purpose, and which shall at the same time be consistent with the attainment of the main object in view. " Mr. Stevenson has said that he had no wish to ex empt the fraudulent use of the American flag from de tection, and this being the case, the undersigned is un willing to believe that a Government like that of the United States, professing the same object, and animated by the same motives as Great Britain, should seriously oppose themselves to every possible mode by which their own desire could be really accomplished. " Foreign-office, Dec. 20, 1841." PAROCHIAL ELECTIONS. ST. GEORGE THE MARTYR, SOUTHWARK. The proceedings in the vestry of this parish were marked by abundance of party spirit and personal asperity. Shortly after twelve o'clock the Rev. D. HORTON, Rector of the parish, took the chair, and read the notice by which the meeting had been convened • but the offie of Rector's Warden and that of Renter Warden having been filled up, in consequenee of the great rush of persons to the vestry an adjournment to the church took place. On the proposition of four persons for Overseers, a Mr. MerrnEws proposed that four other persons be elected in preference, upon which The Rev. CHAIVIAN put the names seriatim to the meeting, and, after taking a vote on each, declared the four first-named persons to be duly elected. On the motion being propose 4 that Mr. Charles An derson be appointed Surveyor of the Highways for the year ensuing, Mr. FITCHER moved, and Mr. MATTHEWS seconded an amendment, that a Board of Direction be formed for that purpose. Mr. BOXER said they had come to the determination to try the question for the establishment of a Board ; they would try the question. The question having been put, the motion fora Board was negatived by a large majority. Mr. Anderson was next proposed to be displaced, and to substitute for him Mr. Day, tailor, residing in the Kent-road. Mr. MATTHEWS proposed that Mr. Day be the Sur veyor for the ensuin& year. Mr. Gov E R s a id they had been well treated by Mr. Anderson, and it was onetof his maxims to let well alone. After various other remarks, the CHAIRMAN put the motion and the ame n d men t, and declared Mr. Ander son's election carried by a large majority, The minority immediately demanded a poll, which was fixed to take place on Wednesday (this day) Thursday, and Friday next. ST. SAVIOUR'S, SOUTHWARK. Yesterday being Easter 'Tuesday; and according to customary usage the day appointed for the election of parochial officers for the year ensuing, a vestry was held in the vestry-room of St. Saviour's Church for that purpose. Mr. J. ROWE, the warden of the great account, in the chair. Upon the name of Mr. Ashton being put forward for the office of College Warden, a letter was read from that gentleman, begging to be excused on the ground that he was a Dissenter. Mr. DREWETT remarked that was no ground of ex cuse, inasmuch as Dissenters did make very good Church wardens, and he instanced himself being obliged to take the office, although not a member of the Established Church. Upon the name of Mr. Holland being proposed for Spratt and Jackson's Wardenship. Mr. W. WATERS, who bad just been elected as Renter Warden, proposed Mr. Robert Downes as an amendment which, upon a show of hands, was lost. Mr. WATERS, with some warmth, said that as Mr. Downes was again rejected he would not accept the office to which he had been elected, as he was unac quainted with the gentlemen who had been chosen as his colleagues. Mr..llowE remarked tnat Mr. Waters having accepted the office, had no power to retire. Ile had been elected, and he must serve the office. Mr. WATERS said he should not attend. Mr. HowE—Then your colleagues will act for you, and you will be answerable for their acts. Upon the question relative to the appointment of Mr. Rose, the architect, as Surveyor to the parish, a long dis cussion ensued. The proceedings, however, ended by the re-election of Mr. Rose, and after the election of the usual persons connected with the church, the Vestry broke up. CLERKEN WELL. Yesterday morning the rate-payers of this very ex tensive parish assembled at the parish church of St. James, for the purpose of transacting the usual paro chial,Easter business, and also for the appointment of a vestry-clerk. An adjournment was made to the National School-room, in Amwell-street. *The senior Church warden in the chair. After the appointment of the new Churchwardens, Messrs. Pascal and Parker, the business of the vestry-clerkship was about to be entered into, when a parishioner rose and objected to any appointment whatever being entered into until a Committee of rate payers had been formed for the purpose of defining and settling the duties of the vestry-clerk. Mr. Macphail (one of the candidates) offered a number of objections to this course, and was replied to by Mr. Beverley Wake ling. It was ultimately carried, that a Committee of nine ratepayers should be appointed for deciding on the purposes required, and to report at a future vestry meet ing. With regard to the vestry-clerkship, a third can didate has come in the field. The other business of the vestry was next disposed of, and the meeting adjourned. ST. LUKE, OLD STREET. Yesterday being Easter Tuesday, the vestrymen of the above parish assembled in the church, for the purpose of choosing churchwardens, overseers, guardians of the poor, &c., for the ensuing year, to make a rate for the poor, and other matters connected with the parish. Mr. Jay, the senior churchwarden, in the chair. Mr. BRISCOE said that on similar occasions it was usual for those gentlemen who had served the office of overseers for the past year to be first chosen as guar dians • but last year, owing to some of those gentlemen strongly supporting the views of the Poor Law Commis sioners, with whom and the guardians an action was now pending, a resolution was moved that no gentlemen fa yoursb!e to the stringent measures of the new Poor-law should be elected. That was carried, and it was now his intention of moving a similar resolution—(Hear, hear) — and his reasons for doing so were very numerous. lie would, therefore, move a resolution to the effect that no person who is known to be favourable to the adoption of the new Poor-law be elected a guardian.—(llear.) The resolution was put and carried. The vestry then proceeded to the election of two Church • ' wardens. Mr. Summers and Mr. Telfer, both carrying on the business of pawnbrokers, having been proposed, A VESTRYMAN said he objected to any person carry ing on such a business being elected to office, on -the ground of their being closely connected with the poor who applied for relief to the Board of Guardians. After some discussion, three other gentlemen having been put in nomination for the office, a show of hands was taken, when there appeared for Mr. Summers, 160 ; for Mr. Telfer, 102. A poll was demanded on behalf of the, others, which will commence this morning at ten o'clock, and finally close on Friday at five. Eight gentlemen having been nominated to serve as Overseers, The CHAIRMAN said that as it was usual for the Churchwarden retiring to be elected a member •of the Board of Guardians, he did hope that they would not do so by him, as he had been fifteen 3 cars in office, and wished to retire.—(Hear, hear.) It would give him the greatest satisfaction not to be elected. Fourteen gentlemen having been elected Guardians, the other officers were elected, and the Vestry adjourned.

The reception which the deputation from the coal owners from Sunderland met with from Government, when it was stated that no further progress would be made in pressing the resolutions put forward before sth April, and that in the meanwhile every attention would be paid to any representation which might be made, has given great satisfaction in the City. It is admitted, even by the most strenuous supporters of the proposed measure, that many parts are particularly objectionable, and it would appear, therefore, that no time is to be lost in urging the hardship which individual interests will suffer, if it be carried as at present printed. UNION HALL-THIS DAY.) HORRIBLE REVENGE.—A :warrant WAS applied for against a woman named Dowd('ll, for throwing a quan tity of vitriol in her husband's face. A policeman of the M division stated that, while on duty the preceding night, his attention w...s called on hearing the groans of a man near the " Bull" public house; in the New Kent-road. He immediately pro ceeded to the spot, find saw a man, who appeared to be in great agony, with his handkerchief up to his face, and he complained that his wife, from whom he had been living apart for the last two .months, had the moment before watched him as he came out of the Bull, and flung a quantity of vitriol in his face, a portion of which Went into one of his eyes, and gave him the most excru ciating pain. The policeman added, that on perceiving the condition of the unfortunate man, 'he led him to the Hospital, and the surgeon, on examining the sufferer, was of opinion that he must lose the sight of one of his eyes. The Magistrate said that no warrant was required in such a case, and directed the police to apprehend the woman the moment they saw her, and bring her before him, to answer for her diabolical conduct. CLERKEN WELL --(THIS DAY.) A fashionably dressed young man, who gave his name as Chart s Reeves, was charged by police Constable 89 E, ' with twisting the knock er o ff t h e d oor o f t h e h ouse of Mr. Hopkins, 4, Southampton-row, Russell-square. From the evidence, it appeared that the prisoner, with two others, had been amusing themselves at the expense of their neighbours, in the above mentioned place, at half-past twelve last night. The policeman, who sus pected they were mischievously inclined, watched them narrowly, and succeeded in arresting the prisoner, with the knocker in his handkerchief ; he at once threw it into the street, exclaiming, that the policeman had not HOLIDAY AMUSEMENTS WESTMINSTER ABBEY, NATIONAL GALLERY, &e. NATIONAL GALLERY.—During those last two days this public exhibition has been completely besieged with visitors, who poured in, in one continued stream, from the ro opening to the closing of the do ors . It wa s computed that upwards of 13, 000 persons visited the gallery on Monday, and 10,000 yesterday ; consequently, the rooms were crowded to suffocation. W ESTMINSTER ABBEY.—At thi s venera bl e an d splen did structure the visitors were very numerous both on Monday and yesterday —t ar exceeding any previous similar l have arisen from a fees having been reduced to Q. since June last. If this f ac t were more circumstance generally known very few p e rsons would neglect to in spect this gorgeous p ile. As i t is, however, there have been upwards of 1,000 visitor s within these two days, a i eim occasion,ste e which of the p a b d a m b i ly ssi may im great portion of whom were foreign ers , who it appears generally make this one of the lions of attraction when ' they visit London for the first time. The internal regu lation is under the superintendence of Mr. Foster Owen, the high constable of Westminster, and he reports that the visitors observe the strictest propriety. ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—The visitors here were very few indeed, which may be attributed to the high rate of admission (4s. 2d.) which is still continued. The numbcr could not be ascertained, but are supposed not to have exceeded 50. TIM TowEa:—The number of visitors to the ruins of the small armouries and the Crown jewels yesterday con siderably exceeded that of Monday, The exceedingly fine weather of yesterday, and the opening of the new jewe' ()See becoming more generally known to the pub lic, caused an additional influx of visitors. PET CIC SESSIONS, WEST MINSTER.—SeveraI officers f the Court of Chancery and the Law Courts have apartm3nts in Westminster Hall, from which tine imme morial have been considered extra parochial. Lately, howev3r, the overseers of St. Alargaret's claimed pay o ment from the different occupants of poor-rates, police rates, &c., to which an appeal was made, and yesterday came one for hearing before the Magistrates in Petly Sessio is: The Justices dismissed the appeal, and ordered the .p lyment of the rates to . be enforced, thereby de ciding that the apartments in question are not extra pa rochi d. Mr. Pemberton, Solicitor Forests, attended for the appellants, and requested that notice. should be given to him before any distress warrant was issued, as probably further proceedings might be taken, to the Woods and • ST. ➢iARY, LAMBETH. A vestry meeting of tke above parish was held in the school-room in Lambeth-green, for the purpose of nomi nating lists of persons eligible to serve as churchwardens, overseers, and in other offices, to be returned to the Ma gistrates in petty sessions, and on other general business. The Rev. Dr. D'OYLEY, the rector, presided. In opening the business I.e stated that if a poll should be demanded respecting any of the lists, it should com mence in the church porch at the close of the business, and continue till five o'clock, and continue for three sub sequent days from nine till five. The present vestry-clerk, Mr. J. B. Clark, was re elected. The Rev. CHAIRMAN then read the list propounded by the Protection Society (who were Tories) and that from the Whigs. The former party were charged by their opponents, in the placards, with having greatly in creased the rates and mismanaged the expenditure. Mr. FALL (a Liberal), in a long speech, deprecated the conduct of tke present parish officers. Mr. SOMERS CLARK and Mr. BULL, present parish officers, defended their conduct, and pointed out mac curacies in the statements of their opponents. After a long and stormy discussion, a show of hands was taken, and declared to be in favour of the blue, or Liberal, list. A poll was demanded by the other party, and proceeded with at the termination of the general business. BERMONDSEY. At eleven o'clock a vestry meeting was held for the election and nomination of the various officers _ for the year ensuing, but so little interest was excited in the parish, that not twenty inhabitants assembled. The various persons who had been named by the late officers were put in nomination, and there being no opposition, they were duly elected, and within the hour the proceed ings of the vestry terminated. An interesting donation, consisting of two ancient Greek skulls, has been made by Lord Nugent to the anatomical museum of University College. These relies were both found by his Lordship, in 1834, in the island of Cephalonia, on the site of the Necropolis of the city of Same, called by Pausanitts and Thucydides Twv Mat.tE twv. Under the jaw of each was found a Greek coin of about the date of the second Peloponne sian War (410 me.). In one of these specimens, which is in an excellent state of preservation, are combined in a marked degree all the peculiarities of the oval form of skull—the beautiful eontour of the cranium, the harmo nious proportions of the different parts of the face, and the regularity and symmetry of the whole, so eminently characteristic of the skulls of the ancient Greeks, who constitute the purest models and the typical examples amongst Eurepean nations of the Caucasian or Iranian type of the human species. Anither less perfect skull and the left humerus, or arm-bone, belonging to the same subject, together with one of the small bottles called lacrymatories placed in an inverted position under the arm, have also been deposited in the same museum of the college : they were found by his Lordship embedded in a soft red loam, near the sea-shore in the bay of Same. LAW REPORTS.—The decisions of the different Law Courts have become extremely voluminous. No fewer than three of the present Judges were reporters in the Common Law Courts—viz., Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Justice Maule, and Mr. Justice Cres..,well. Sir J. B. Bosanquet, the late Judge of the Common Pleas, also published a series of reports of cases, as did Lord Camp, bell when at the bar. These reports are recognised by the Courts as authorities, and are frequently refer re d to under their several tit les of ." Barnewell and Alderson," "Barnewell and Cresswell," " Mettle and Selwyn," " Bosanquet and Buller," and " Campbell's Reports,' &c. Sir George Rose, the . late Judge of the Court of Review, and present Master in Chancery, formerly published re ports of cases in bankruptcy, and the late Mr. Justice Taunton's cases are well known. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—We have much satisfaction in announcing that Lieutenant Michael De Courcy, of the Charybdis, has been promoted to the rank of Com mander, and it is understood that when he has served his time in that rank, the Lords CommissiOners of the Admiralty intend still further to promote him to be Captain, on account of the extraordinary gallantry he displayed in the late action with the Carthageman squadron. Among the numerous dashing affairs which took place during the war there are but few that hare surpassed this of Lieutenant De Courcy. The Charybdis is a small brigantine of only 232 tons, and carrying but three guns and 55 men, while the force opposed to him was a cor vette, a brig, and two schooners, mounting altogether be twen 20 and 30 guns, and manned in proportion. Yet, notwithstanding this immense supet4ority on the part of his opponents, Lieutenant De Courcy has proved to them that British subjects and British interests are not to be injured with impunity. It has already been stated that the result of the contest was the capture by the Charybdis of the corvette and the two schooners, and her sinking the brig. The rebel General Carmona has for some time past evinced a hostile feeling towards the English. At the time the Skipjack was lying at Carthagena, the men were kept at their quarters with the guns double-spotted, as there was then every dispo sition on the part of his squadron to fire into her, as it eventually did at the Charybdis. The Albatross, a new 16-gun brig, was launched at this dockyard yesterday. She vas immediately taken into clock to be coppered, and will be commissioned in a few days. The Prince Albert, 90, which is building here, has had her name changed, and is henceforth to be called the Princess Royal. A new first-rate, with three decks, is shortly to be commenced, which is to be called the Prince Albert.? The Thunderbolt steam-frigate, recently launched here, has her sails bent, and is all ready to proceed to Glasgow, to get her engines and boilers, and will sail as soon as the wind becomes favourable. She will call at Milford to return the masts and spars which were fitted temporarily in the Collingwood, 80, to bring her round from Pembroke to this port preparatory to her being put in commission. The Ilingdove, 16, Captain Sir William Daniel, bent her sails yesterday afternoon, and will go out of harbour to-morrow or Thursday. It was not intended that she should leave before the 14th inst., but orders have been. received to expedite her as much as possible, as she is wanted to convey out despatches, though to what quarter has not transpired. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty are ex pectAl at this dockyard on Wednesday next upon one of their periodical visits of inspection. The Frolic, 16, was omitted in the list of ships stated to be building at this port. This will make 18 line-of battle ships, 14 frigates, and 17 sloops, &c., now build ing at this and other dockyards. There are no ships lying at present at Spithead. Ships in harbour—The Winchester, Ringdove, Thun derbolt (steamer), St. Vincent, Victory, Royal George (yacht), and Excellent. THE FAIR AT CHALK FARM. A few years ago the itinerary caterers for the public amusements, conceiving that Greenwich was too far re moved from the metropolis to allow the inhabitants of North London to partake in its festivities at this time of the year, conceived the idea of establishing a rendezvous at Chalk Farm. The project was put into execution, and at that time a few paltry swings, one or two merry go-rounds, a stand or two of gilded gingerbread, and two or three stalls of children's toys, were the only induce ments to visit the spot. livery half year new attractions were added to the place, and as the attractions increased the number of visitors increased with them, till now the fair extends over a large space of ground; all the usual attendants on a regular fair are there ; everything which can tend to attract the idlers is put into requisition, and the numbers that attend prove the estimation in which it is held. The fair for this Easter commenced here on Monday, and the number of visitors was very great. We should think during the course of the day there were certainly not less than from 10,000 to 15,000 persons present. Amongst the principal attractions were a grand show called " Richardson s," under the manage ment of Nelson Lee and Co. Here were Motleys in their party-coloured dresses, silicons, as they are termed, with their jackets, pinbefores, and straw caps ; here were emperors, kings, knights of the cross, counts, and parsons, queens, princesses, and ladies of a nondescript appearance. The kings and knights marched up and down as theatrical kings and knights will do, the queens and princesses tripped along, as andq queens and g dp u r e i e n n c s e , kssesnsigelts seldom do. counts,The p b r a i n n d ee strikes tip mot leys and silicons, join in one incongruous dance , hands across, turn round, tip and down, chassez and re-chassez. In another corner of the fair stands the show of " Clarke from Astley's." Here beautiful maidens and beautiful horses, mingled in the festive dance. On other shows gongs were sounded with a mighty noise, guns discharged, large drums wore beaten, trumpets clanged forth in mighty discord, hoarse voices bawled through hoarser trumpets. " Now then, just going to show ; walk up ladies and gentlemen, only 3d. to the gallery." Such were the noises which prevailed, and with this brief out line, we leave our readers to judge of the confusion which reigned, and which we have so imperfectly described. Here also were dancing boothS, and wild beasts, gilded gingerbread, and wizards froni north, east, west, and south, halfpenny peep-shows and penny roundabouts ; high-flyers and steady-goers. Here were beef-stakes and onions all hot, twopence a lot ; sausage rolls, fried fish; beef, mutton, and kidney pies ; baked taters, and every delicacy of the sea son, all hot, nice' and hot. A little further off were frisky donkeys gaily caparisoned with white saddle-4- cloths and red rosettes, who walked very slowly fror 4 their standing place ; but who when their heads wer turned towards home, went along at such a gloriou gallop as to delight and astonish the gallant little riders. We have not half described the fair, yet we feel that w have . already taken up too much space with a recita', The company was not very select, but every one seemet happy and joyous—care seemed at least banished ft. that day. A scene like this is one of the best argument '5 which could be urged against existing distress, becaus here all seem merry ; yet this is an enjoyment whic the haughty aristocrat would tear from the hands of th - humble artisan, and deprive him of that source of amuse inent which, in his mind, compensates in a great degrt t . for months of labour, toil, and oppression. Greenwich Palace was the favourite residence ( Anne Boleyn. The Park was laid out in the same sty •! as her native Bickling, and planted under her direc tions with the same kind of trees.
