AMERICAN NEWS FOUR DAYS LATER FROM AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. By the arrival of the Transient ship Rochester, Cap tain Woodhouse, we have New York papers to the evening of the 19th inclusive, being four days later than were brought by the Solon at this port yesterday. The Rochester left New York on the evening of the 9th, eight hours after the packet-ship England. She has made the passage in 17 days. The news by this arrival is not important. Nothing of importance had transpired in Congress since the last accounts left. Mr. Clay had brought for ward some resolutions in the Senate, in the course of which he deprecated the Government having recourse to a loan or treasury bills for the purpose of meeting the current expenses, and proposed that a duty of more than 20 per cent. should be laid en foreign imports, in order that the net revenue might be raised to twenty-six mil lions dollars ; twenty-two for the ordinary expenses of Government, and two millions to be appropriated as a reserve fund for contingencies. On the 16th ult. Mr. Walker submitted a resolution calling upon the Execu tive for information as to what proceedings, if any, had been had in the case of the Creole, since the last corn munication to that body. The injunction on the Bank of Pennsylvania still re mained, but the interest on the State debt was under pro cess of payment by the authority of the Supreme Court. The British West India steamer Tay had arrived at Havannah oa the Ist., and sailed again for New Orleans on the .I.th ult. m The Thames arrived on the 3d, b u t neither vessel carried out later dates than was previously received via Boston. The Solway and Forth left Ilavan nah on the 2d, the firmer for Vera Cruz and the latter for New Orleans, a hich she afterwards passed, not being enabled to reach the city, in consequence of being deeply laden with coals. She did not take the mails for Mexico and England, owing to some misapprehension on the part of the post-masters as to the time when she would pass. The death of the notorious Grogan is announced in these papers. From Mexico we learn that General Paradez was forming a party in opposition to Santa Anna. There ap pears to be good ground for supposing that the prisoners taken in the Santa Fe expedition were inhumanly treated by the Mexicans. A general order was issued by the Commander-in-Chief of the northern army, for bidding any Mexican from dealing with the Texians, under penalty of serving eight years in the permanent body of troops stationed at Tampico. some outrages having been committed upon British subjects at Carthagena by Carmona, the leader of the revolters, the Charybdis brig of war was despatched from Jamaica to inquire into the matter ; on her arrival she was fired upon by two Carthaginian brigs .4* war and several gun-boats, in consequence of which she opened a fire in defence, sinking two Venezuelan ships and kill ing a great number of men, amongst whom was the Ad miral. The Charybdis lost four men, and sustained con siderable damage in her upper works. General Santa Cruz was in Guayaquil, on board of the English brig Queen Victoria. An attempt to seize his person by Gamarra's party was frustrated by her Majesty's Consul, Walter Cope, Esq. The difficul ties in New Granada were amicably settled, and General Flores, President of the Equador, was in Guayaquil, raising an army in the cause of Santa Crux. Chili was quiet. The latest accounts from Tampico report business as dull ; the inland duty had been repealed. Lord Morpeth had left Washington for Richmond, and• proposed to travel southward. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, FEB. 19. The Money Market continues without material change. The Banks discount sparingly, and appear determined to continue a prudent and cautious policy. The importations of merchandi?e are quite large at present, and any deviation from this policy must tend to put up the price of sterling bills, and probably cause fresh' exportations of specie. Sterling exchange con• tinues firm, and such bills as are undoubted are freely taken. Domestic exchanges on most points are dull. On one or two places, particularly Philadelphia, an improvement has taken place, more confidence being telt in the stability of the remaining Banks. The fluctuatims in stocks have not been large. Our quota. Lions exhibit generally an improvement, especially in our own State stock. Many descriptions of stock have apparently fallen quite as low as could be expected under any circumstances, yet there is little now transpiring to give cause to hope for any immediate improvement. Capitalists are unwilling to invest except in the most undoubted securities, and these are taken sparingly. We are not without hopes that Congre-s at length will do something, to bring about a different state of things. The whole country is anxiously looking toward Washington for some action upon the fiscal measures which have been pro posed, and it i i extremely desirable that the future policy of the country should be settled one way or the other. We are disposed to consider almost any action as preferable to a state of unc,-rtainty. RATE OF SALES AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE. 4,475 Dols.

ALGIERS. copy OF A DESPATCH FROM THE EARL OF ABERDEEN TO DER MAJRSTY ' S ANIBASSA DOR AT PARIS, DATED FOREIGN OFFICE, JANUARY, 23, 1842. Mv LORD,—My attention has been directed to the report in the Monitenr, of a speech delivered in the Chamber of Deputies by Monsieur Guizot on the 20th instant. On that occasion his Excel lency rend in the Tribune an account of a conversation between the Count de St Aulair.r and myself which had reference to the French Possessions in Africa, and which had been transmitted by the An. bassador to the French Minister. In this relation, the Count de St. Aulaire observes, " I began by asserting tt at the security of our African ttossessious was for us an interest of the highest importance, which he could not all9w to give way before any consideration; and Lord Aberdeen, ''after having listened to me attentively, said, I am very glad to be able to explain myself distinctly to you upon this point. I was Minister in 1830. If I were to go back to that time, I should have much to say ; but I take affairs as they arc in 1841, and in the state in which the have been left by preceding Cabinets : I therefore look upon your position in Africa as a fait accompli, against which I have no objection to make." Now, I readily subscribe to the accuracy of this statement, with the exception of the last sentence. I never said that I had now no objection to make to the establishment of the French in Algiers ; but that I had now no observation to snake on the subject, and that it was my intention to be silent. The context shows that such was my meaning; and, in fact, this decision was the result of mature reflection. I felt that, after ten years of acquiescence, any objections at the present moment would have been misplaced; and that the course which it would have been impossible for me formerly to have adopted, had now become entirely consistent with propriety and duty. It does not follow, however, that objections, although not expressed, may not be entertained. 1 hive explained to the French Ambassador the misapprehen. Kim into which he had fallen, and the erroneous statement which, in consequence, he had made to his Government. With the same object in view, your Excellency will have the goodness to read this despatch to Monsieur Guizot. I :Im, &c. (Signed) ABERDEEN. His Excellency the Lord Cowley. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY. The followire c ; extract , afford a fair specimen of the opinions of the Whig, '1 ory, and Radical press in Scotland, on the mo tion of the Agnewites to stop Sunday trains : ( From the Aberdeen Herald. ) As far as the Edinburgh and Glasgow railway is concerned the question of a reasonable amount of Sunday travelling ac commodation to the public has been set at rest, for a time, if not for ever. But the sensible portion of the community must not imagine that the efforts of the Pharisees will cease, or that there will be no further need of resistance to encroachments on civil and religion; liberty. The wild party in the Church are at the bottom of the movement, and we may rest assured that they will not speedily desist. They look to it as a means of restoring clerical influence, which has lately been rather on the wane, and they are aided by some professing friends of religious freedom, who, while they loudly clamour for secta rian equality, arc afraid to carry out their own scriptural and Protestant prneiple to the legitimate length of emanicipating individual minds from their degrading subserviency to ecclesi astical superiors. Some Dissentinn clergymen seem as much afraid to allow their hearers the right of private judgment as ever the Pepe of Rome was. (From the Edinburgh Chronicle.) The tyrannical attempt to stop the running of trains on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. on the morning and evening of Sunday, was most signally ilef.t.,ted by the shareholders at their half-yearly meeting on Tuesday last. On no former occasion have the high-flying section of the Church exerted more base and unscrupulous means to gain an object of their ambition. The forced and forged signatures, of boys and girls, of servants, shop-keepers, and other dependents ; the mad abuse poured upon those who conscientiously approve of the course adopted by the Railway Company; the frantic eonspi racy to ruin the Compacy, and ab ive all the injurious assumption ofa thorough knowledge of the Divine will, on matters concerning which there is no revelation. have tended to disgust all sober and intelligent men, and to create in their minds a feeling of indignation against the pharisaical pretenders to exclusive Ploy, more general and intense than has been manifested on any former occasion. One would suppo s e f ro m their language thatnetther m a il coac h es , nor pr i vate carr i ages had eve; run on Sunday in Scotland, although both in Edinburgh and Glas gow the l a tt er are more common than on other days, and cause more labour and Sabbath desecration than railway trains can ever occasion. (From the Renfrewshire Reformer.) After having procured shares to be permitted ra to plead, an d, if possible, force the proprietors of nationalthis great ,t father o f th e unde r t a ki ng , to succumb to the doctrines of the A newit, s flock, Sir Andrew, on finding himself bent'.. m 0 r cmhristian like attempts to inforce his notions of Christianity of the Court o 1 St',es:ion, by running oppositio n coach Yes, and by every O ther rnethol he ,•-gin contrive to annoy the p u bli c , an d injure the intere:t of the proprietors. Aleetings—(not public m eeting:, the Sir Andrew's dare not face the public)—but meeting; of the select to support such schemes are now to be set on to't to cover their defeat, and, if possible, to rait-e the mean of runnirg coaches in opposition to the railway. Thi; rs eTeri more ridiculous than the feinned petitions got up by the Kir k Sessions in opposition to Sunday trains. It was a simph• thirg to g• t up a pile of petitions on pious S.r Andrew's principie of employing the parish seln Irnas'er to write down the male and female names of the rural .nhabit ants on pretence he was sending in a clean copy ; hut Sir An• dre v w ill find it a very different matter indeed to extra,t mu. ney from the pockets of the lieges to gra:ify his whims, f ront obtaining leave fir the schoolmaster to write their names. Sir Andrew's subscriptions will he a greater failure than his trio.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. OM THE EVENING TAPERS OF YESTE RDAY. Blackstone 's commentaries on t h e Peel Corn n ßill are not uninstructive, and the vote of the Hon. Member for Wallingford is not insignificant. The former points most justly the delusions revived by this measure respecting future average prices, as having been held out by the same statesmen respecting the prices to be secured by their Bill of 1828. The latter indicates the true feeling of that " agricultural community" which its thimble ; rig representatives have put in their pocket, and which the Premier admits to be generally op posed to the changes now undertaken by him. " The Right Hon. Baronet anticipated that the ) operation of his scale would make the price of wheat rule between 545. and 565. per quarter, but he (Mr. Blackstone) very much feared it would be reduced considerably lower, perhaps to 305., for he could not but recollect that the avowed object of the Duke of Wellington's Administra tion in 1828 was to keep the price about 633., whereas, according to the Right Hon. Baronet's own statement, the average during the last 14 years had been only 575." It is surprising that the degree of common sense which enables the Member for Walling ford to perceive the delusiveness of these pros pects of average prices, does not enable him to perceive the folly of legislating for prices at all. The maintenance of the sliding-scale is the main tenance of the principle (as Lord Howick re marked in his admirable speech of last night)— " of maintaining certain prices, and preventing certain fluctuations ; at least such were the views of the framers of that Act, and at the time of its being proposed Parliament were taught to believe that the effect of it would be to steady and equalize prices ; and by increasing the duty in proportion as prices 'fell, and diminishing the duty in proportion as prices rose, that it would have the effect of limiting that rise and fall within certain limits, which the framers of the Act considered it was not expedient that the prices should exceed." The total failure of the law of 1828 to accomplish these purposes might have taught those who passed it, and who are passing the present mea sure, the error of principle they still cling to. It is ' impossible to fix price by law. It is very possible by law to make it fluctuate more enormously than it ever would do if left to the operations of regular commerce. If this be success, the law of 1828 has succeeded with a vengeance. STANDARD.—The Ministerial Corn-law Bill was last night read a second time, by a majority of 284 to 176—a majority of 108, in a house of 465 members, Speaker and tellers included. This division, however, does not show the whole strength of the agricultural or of the ministerial party; for Mr. Blackstone and other Conservative Members voted against the Bill, in order to preserve the existing law. We shall say little of the debate, consulting in that, we believe, the wishes of most of our readers; but, before we say even the little we have to offer, it may be well to revert to one or two considera tions which we ventured to suggest when the subject was first opened in Parliament; these considerations will be found to meet a great deal that was said last night. First, then, we contend that frequent revisions of a law affect ing a matter so variable, in many respects, as the price of corn, are by no means in compatible with the strictest adherence to the principle of protection. To take a fami - liar instance :—The nation and its depen dencies are protected by a naval and a military force : but these forces are determined by annu ally varied estimates, and governed by the an nual Mutiny Act, without any compromise of the principle of protection. The case of the Corn laws is not very different. The people are pro tected from famine by these laws; but the exact numbers necessary for such protection must fluc tuate with circumstances, the principal among these circumstances being time cost of pro duction and the relative value of money. If grain can, on the average of one period, be pro duced at half the cost of a preceding period, it is plain that it no longer demands the same amount of protection ; or if the relative value of money has undergone a material change, a different scale of duties is necessary. The prices of 1814 commanded a higher rate of duty than the prices of 1828, and it is pos sible that the prices of 1828 might demand a higher scale of duties than the prices of 1842. We arc not now arguing, that such is the case. We merely wish to show that the practice of revision is not necessarily in compatible with the principle of - protection. Again, we have said that it may be the duty or a Minister to bring such a subject before Parlia ment, even although lie sees little necessity for change ; and that it is a peremptory obligation upon him to do so when he thinks necessary any change, however small, or how insufficient soever to silence clamour. COURIER.—We congratulate the House and the country on being at length fairly rid of the corn question, at least for a Session or two ; for, considering the efforts that have been made to over-lay the public mind with erroneous notions on this subject, and the dis;flaiming of finality by its authors, we would do violence to our conviction were we to pretend that we look upon the present settlement of the question as at ail conclusive. And herein lies the weightiest objection to which the measure obnoxious. Last night's debate elicited nothing very novel; indeed the merits and demerits of the proposed Bill had been so searchingly can vassed, so thoroughly sifted and winnowed, that little freshness could be expected to enliven the fourth and final debate, as far as the House of Commons is concerned. The gallant Member tbr Middlesex, Lord Howick, and Mr. Sheil,were the only new speakers. Col. Wood, when the Bill was first proposed, telt somewhat disappointed, as he had expected a measure of a somewhat less prohi bitory character, but subsequent consideration gave him a more fitvourable opinion of it. Lord ilowick- deemed it a " considerable improve ment"— the precursor of other changes in the same direction while Mr. Spiel ob jected to the measure as vicious alike in principle and detail, his opinion being, that the maintenance of British commerce tshould he paramount to all other considerations. These are the only novelties to be found in the debate, if we except a juggle of Lord Howick's on the word " protection." In the inflated language of the Grey school, the rejected of Northumber land denounced the term as " unsuited to the tem per of the times," and this, be it observed, after the principle of protection had been affirmed by the largest majorities yet experienced in a reformed House of Commons. If we are not to judge of the " temper of the times" from the constitution of that :House, which is more especially the etu bodiment of public opinion, through which alone the electoral will of the nation can be constitu tionally or truly expressed, pray how is it to be ascertained ? Arc we to take the mouthings of hireling lecturers—are we to take the denuncia tions of fanatical dissent—or the growlings of baf fled faction as true and infallible exponents of the " temper of the times." Away with this cant of g,eneralisun_,. MONEY MARKET i.nd CITY NEW S . FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—The accounts given to-day of the progress of our military operations in Affghanistan fully confirming what was stated yesterday, the funds left off still a shade lower : vet so very disastrous as are the details, it is a little surprising that the decline has not altogether proved more considerable. A fall in Spanish stock, after the announcement of the pay ment of a three per cent. dividend on the overdue coupons, looks like an anomaly with those of the speculators who have been going far a rise, especially as it is announced from Madrid, that out of the Treasury issues about to be recommended to the Cortes, a reserve will be made fur the continuance of this reduced payment ; but the fact is, the public are made too fully aware of the nature of the Gamboa coup to be led astray by it as a legitimate and important measure. It has been ex p lained, that, aithough a something is at length about to be done for the Active bondholders, it is a miserably poor affair; for what, it is asked, is a payment of 240,0001., after five. or six years' delay, upon a capital of 40,000,0001. ? To most persons it seems absolutely worse than nothing, inasmuch as it is made upon a new creation of stock, and leaves other chiles of an extremely urgent kind wholly untouched. THE MEMBER FOR KNARESBOROUGH.—The exhi bition of Mr. Ferrand, on the motion for total repeal, was that of a mountebank or pantaloon in a pantomime. His extrava gance and rhodomontade were only injurious to his own party, much as the srecch delighted the 'l'ories. To Sir Robert Peel, the lunatic oration was gall and wormwood, because the Right Hon. Baronet knows the mischief of falsehood and fanaticism to his cause ; and because he doubtless apprehends a repetition of Mr. Ferrand's fa rrago o f nonsense against himself on the coiningquestions of the Po cr -l aws an d the Ten-hours ' Bill. Wild ora tors of this species usua ll y fi nd their level early in the Session of their first appearance. Mr. Disraeli commenced his Parlia mentary career in the same style of bathos and rambling declamation, tut he soon f e ll f rom h i s pedestal; as will Mr. Ferrand, especially if he is n o t ma d e of i mportance by those he so innoxiously maligns. He is a young man of about 30 years of age, lately an unemployed country attorney in a north coun try town, elevated to the Legislature by the accidental succes sit'm of his mother to a largo property, which enabled him to impose himself for a time on the constituency of Knaresborough. Uninstructed, and devoid of all knowledge of political science, be will soon find his level. Ido not think I ever observed Sir Robert Peel more palpably annoyed than by the indiscreet ad vocacy of this new ally. The buffoonery, however, of th e orator, convulsed th. House with laughter, and his abuse of the manufacturing classes appeared most . acceptable to th e monopolists.—London correspondent of the Scotsman. THE CHARTIST CONVICT WILLIAMS.—A letter has been received by the wife of this unfortunate man, stating that he is working in chains in the penal settlement, Port Arthur. Upon his first reaching his destination he was appointed over seer amungst the men engaged working coal pits, but, having subseqentiv at+empted to make his escape, he was detected in the act, and, as a punishment, sent to join the gangs working in chains. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, March 10. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.) BRYDGES V. 'MANTIC.. The Court was occupied during the morning in hearing the reply of Mr. Bethell in this long-pending case. ( Before dice-Chancellor WIG RAM.) POWER. V. TIPPING. This case was mentioned on a question of costs, which his Honour decided in favour of the plaintiff: The cases which came before the Court were generally of an uninteresting nature. The argu. ments being concluded His HONOUR said that he should take some time to consi der his decision as, the case was one which deeply affected the characters of several individuals. He did not think he could fairly discharge his duty, unless in addition to reading over the evidence he read over the pleading also. He should take some time to consider his judgment ; and he did not expect he could deliver it till after the Easter Term. SHERIFFS' COURT, March 10. CLARKE V. PINKERS. The case occupied the Court until this afternoon. It was an ac. tion for 181. Is. for alterations made in a machine for propelling boats on a new principle. The defendant is an inventor; the plain. tiff and his partner are modellers and mechanical engineers ; 101. ss. had been paid into Court. The whole question for the Jury was whether the plaintiff was entitled to the difference; but the details of the case were very complicated. There were several mo dels on the table, but little was given in explanation of the plan, of which, however, it appeared the object was to propel boats on canals without steam or horses. A number of witnesses were examined for the defendant, but they could not clear up the dispute ; and the Jury found for the plaintiff for the balance claimed. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, March 10. RE WILLIAM READE. The insolvent in this case had, up to the latter end of the year 1839, carried on business as an ironmonger in Liverpool, and subsequently in the Whitechapcl-road. He had been bankrupt in 1837, when the amount of debts appearing in his schedule was 3,4501. ; and the sum from which he now sought to be discharged exceeded 1,4001., while the debts due to him was about 350/. Most of the debts appearing in his present schedule were contracted for goods supplied in the way of trade. His petition to be discharged was opposed by Mr. ingold, on the grounds of having fraudulently contracted a debt of 97/. without any ostensible means of repayment. It appeared from the state ment of the opposing creditor that the insolvent, when he first came to London, bought a quantity of furniture from him, for which a bill of exchange drawn by a person named Walshe, and iccepted by the insolvent, was given, and which was dishonoured upon presen tation. Upon inquiry it was found that Walshe had gone to Ame rica a short time before the bill became due, and had not since been heard of. Several other creditors having entered their opposition, the far ther hearing of the case was ordered to stand over. A number of unopposed petitions, possessing not the slightest features of general interest, were heard during the morning, upon all of which the applicants were ordered to be discharged forthwith. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-KO USE. James King and William Mooby, the men who were exa• mined a few days ago upon the charge of having robbed the Blackburn coach of .bank notes awl sovereigns to the amount of 2,0001., were yesterday brought up for further examination, before the Lord Mayor and Sir Peter Laurie. Superintendent Beswick, of the Manchester Police, stated that three men had already undergone several examinations before the magistrate 4, at Manchester, upon the charge of having been concerned in the robbery of the Blackburn coach, and he had succeeded in tracing two of the stolen notes to the prisoners, who, it would subsequently be proved, were on the top of the coach on the day the robbery was commttted. tie (the Superintendent) was anxious that the prisoners should be remanded, at the conclusion of the day's examination, until Tuesday next, in order that the necessary inquiries after the stolen property might be completed, and that then they should be sent down to Manchester, where the investigation was actively going forward. Mr. Hobler, junior, who appeared for the prisoners, said that no case had as yet been made out against them. George Wolstoneroft, shoemaker, of No. 102, High-street, in the Borough, stated, that on Wednesday, the 17th February, Mooby, whom he had not seen before, came into his shop, and bought a pair of Wellington boots for IBs., and paid for them with a 51. note, stating that his name was William Belmore, and that he was going to Sheffield. Witness put the name on the note, and handed the change, 4 sovereigns and 25., to Mooby. In the course of the dealing, witness asked Mooby whether trade was not bad at Sheffield, to which that prisoner replied that trade was bad everywhere. Mr. Hobler, jun.—How long did the interview between you last ? Witness—Not more than ten minutes. Mr. Hobler, jun.—And you never saw him before? Wit ness—Never. The Superintendent then handed over the note, which was numbere i and dated 641,119, 26th February, Manchester, 1841. It was, he stated, one of the bank-notes which had been stoppei as having been stolen out of the Blackburn coach. Mr. Hobler, jun., said there was no evidence to prove that the note had been stolen at all. soners, who passed as man and wife, took furnished apart ments, and continued . to reside there until yesterday even_ g having gained ac cess to the rooms wh i le t h ey were ionut, when, hen ;oand that every portable article of furniture had been removed, and about 2/. worth of feathers taken from out of the bed. He therefore gave them into the custody of the police. On searching them at the station.house, twenty.eight pawnbroker's duplicates were found relating to the missing property, which altogether is valued at between 15/. and 201.—The prisoners were remanded until Saturday week. UNION-HALL. James Collins, a porter at a wharf in Tooley-street, was flied 205., or seven days' imprisonment, for a savage assault on a man, named Thorp, by biting him in the face. The Superintendent stated that it was included in the list of bank notes advertised. John Sharpe, trunk-maker, No. 60, High- street, Borough, stated that on Wednesday, the 23d of February, the prisoner Mooby called at his shop and paid twelve shillings for a trunk with a 51. note. Witness asked him his name, and Mooby mentioned some name, but witness did not recollect it. Mooby also said Ee was from Manchester. Witness did not write down the name, but he paid away the note to the collector of the poor-rates. Mr. Hobler, jun., asked the witness whether there were not other st. notes in the house at the time ? —Witness replied that there were, but they were direct from the Bank of England, and that which Mooby had paid to him was a Bank of England note from the branch bank of Manchester, as appeared upon the face of the note, and had been laid upon the top of the other• notes. Joseph Martin stated that he was at the door of Sharpe, the trunkmaker, who was his nephew, when the two prisoners were passing. One of the prisoners turned back, and asked him whether he had a trunk or box to sell at a low price ? He took them into the premises, and showed them a trunk, and they went away. About an hour afterwards Mooby returned by himself, and paid witness's nephew for the trunk. Witness saw a piece of paper pass from Mooby to his nephew, but chi not know what it was. A distressed -looking object, named William Brown, was charged with stealing a loaf of bread from the shop of a baker, in Union street. He went into the shop and said that he wanted bread, and without further ceremony took up a loaf and ran away. He was followed anti taken into custody, and was identified by the com plainant as having taken two loaves on a former occasion, under similar circumstances. The prisoner was committed for seven days, and to be passed, at the expiration of that time, to his parish. Scarcely had this case concluded before three other ragged men were brought up for stealing three loaves from another baker's shop. The prisoners had entered the shop. and taking up a quartern LW, proceeded to break it, and divided it between them. They were also committed far seven days. WORSHIP-STREET. John Collins 'Wilkes, of No. 20, Bridge-street, Southwark, stated that he collected the poor-rates tor the di±trict in which Sharpe resided, and called upon that witness, on Friday, the 2:ith of February, and received from him the bank-note pro duced, numbered and dated 66,120, Manchester, 26th Fe bruary, 1841, upon which he wrote the name of Sharpe. The LORD MAYOR acid Sir PETER LAURIE agreed that quite enough evidence had been adduced to justify them in sending the prisoner at once to Manchester. Superintendent Beswick stated that he had offered a reward to any person who should disclose to him where the prisoners lodged after they had left Mr. Cousins's hoase, and he had reason to suppose that he should very soon receive information on the subject. His object was to lay his hand upon whatever property the prisoners might have concealed. The prisoners were then, at the request of the Superinten dent, remanded till Tuesday next, and the Lord Mayor told the Superintendent that he should afford him every facility as he proceeded in this important case, and give him the oppor tunity of removing the prisoners to Manchester before the period fixed for the next examination, if it should be considered ne cessary. Mr. Cousins, in whose house it will be recollected the pri soners lodged, said that the reports in the newspapers on the subject were calculated to d o him i n j ur y, as th ey conta i ned what might be considered a reflection upon his character. Superintendent Beswick, and the other officer engaged in apprehending the prisoner, declared that it was quite impossi. ble for any one to act better than Mr. Cousins had acted, for he had assisted them with the greatest anxiety and energy in the whole busincsst The Loan AlAroa said if there was no other ground for supposing tliat \lr. Cousins was a respectable man, his con duct on the occasion was sufficient evidence of the filet. His Lordship was convinced that any misapprehension which might have arisen in the course of the first examination would he most willingly removed in the report of the proceedings of the day. The two prisoners were taken down stairs to the officers room, on the ground floor, where they were not many mi nutes when away they bolted through the gate into the street. They, however, had not proceeded many paces, when they both were taken by the polieeman in whose custody they had been placed, secured, handcuffed, and conveyed to the Compter. The poor fellow named Wall, who was mentioned in our re port yesterday of the case of Hitchcock, as having been adver t sed for a few years ago as heir to an immense property, was, we are given to understand from authority, actually entitled to an enormous sum, as neat of kin to an Antigua mer chant of vast opulence. He, however, could not be found, and a comparatively distant relative of the deceased appeared with his claim, got hold of the property, and was never afterwards heard of. We are also informed that he took the advice of Mr. Lay ton, the solicitor of Fenelturch-street, upon finding that he stool no chance of gaining anything by the law, and returned to legatestone to till the ground, where he has lived contented and industrious. He appeared, while at the Mansion-House, to belong to that rare class of persons. of whom Sir Matthew Wood is an extraordinary instance:— 'Whose blood and judgment are so well camingled, That they are not a pipe for fortune's finger To sound what stop she please." BOW-STREET. GROSS OUTRAGE.—WiIIiam IVelion , —-- yojmgman of respectable appearance, who stated that he was a surgeon's assistant, living in Her rietta-street, Covent garden, was charged with having vio lently assaulted Mr. William Reilly, a warehouseman, in Queen_ street, Cheapside. An old offender, a sharp.looking white.headed child, only twelve years of age, whose head was just visible above the bar, was charged with stealing three cotton cravats, value 6d. each, front the shop of tho Misses Parker and Thornbury, haberdashers, &c., High Holborn. The complainant stated that on the preceding night, he was passing along Goswcll.road, when he met the prisoner in company with another " gentleman," both of whom were very much in toxicated. As he was passing them the prisoner pushed him vio lently aside, and on being expostulated with for his rudeness, he exclaimed, " You b--, I'll smash your b—y head," and imme diate), struck him a severe blow under the eye, which was dis coloured and swollen from the eflbcts of it. He seized the pri soner by the collar, and held him until the arrival of a policeman, into whose custody he consigned him. In his defence, the priscner said he was provoked to commit the assault in consequence of his being taunted and defied by the complainant. George Thornbury, shopman in the employ of the Misses Parker and Thornbury, stated that about half-past eight last evening, a cus tomer went into the shop and left the door open, lie had no sooner entered, than the witness observed the prisoner make a snatch at some cravats which were hanging on a wire near the door, inside the shop. The prisoner then ran away; witness pursued him, and, after a short run overtook him, and found one of the cravats in his hand. The prisoner's mother, a respectable looking woman, here came forward, and stated that the prisoner was a most incorrigible lad, though so young, and though he had a comfortable home to go to, and plenty of victuals, he had been twice sent to the House of Correction, once for a month for stealing a toy, and another time for six weeks for stealing some figs; in addition to this, about three months a,:o, he was tried at the Old Bailey and found guilty by the Jury, but acquitted by the Judge on account of his extreme youth and promises to ;mend. She thought if he were put out of the way for two or three years it might do him some good, per haps. She had given up all hopes herself of being able to reform him. The prisoner here commenced crying in most piteous tones, and turned imploring glances towards his mother, but they were of no avail. Mr. HALL said it war very evident that the prisoner was a bad boy. Ile was fully committed to take his trial at the next Mid dlesex Sessions. QUEEN-SQUARE.

When the prisoner saw witness he ran up the area steps like a greyhound, and made off at a tremendous speed, but witness being also a fast runner succeeded in overtaking and capturing him. Upon being questioned at the station-house, he said his name was Bernard Cavanagh, and that he was the man of fasting notoriety. Upon his person were found three newspapers, containing accounts of his exhibitions in different places. Mr. GREGORY—What profession or what trade have you been brought up to ? Cavanagh—l have no profession and I have no tr a d e . Mr. G REGORY—You are comm i tte d as a rogue arid a va gabond f or a month's imprisonment and hard labour. [Why hunt down the poor creature in this cruel manner ? Mankind are said to be like a herd of deer, and Mr. Gregory seems determined that the stigma shall be sanctioned by Magis. terial authorit y. The punishment, every man with any hu manity will say, far exceeds the offence. ] Al A RLB OR OUGH- S REET. E John Allen, a young man of respectable appearance, by trade a coach carver, and Harriet Harwood, a woman with whom he cohabited, were placed at the bar on the following charge. Mr. Ludwig Kluths, of No. S, Church-street, John. square, tailor, stated that several months ago es Pd . Mr. BINGHAM said that he should endeavour to check these street outrages, so as to enable quiet and respectable people to pass along without being subjected to insult and molestation. He should order the prisoner to pay the extreme penalty of 51., or be committed for two months to the House of Correction. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 11, 1842 THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE LATE MR. COBBETT. The Cobbett Club held their Annual Public Dinner on Wednes. day evening at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, in celebra. tion of the birth of the late Mr. William Cobbett, M.P. About fifty gentlemen sat down to dinner, and among the company was Mr. O'Connell, M.P. Mr. Fielden, M.P., filled the Chair. The cloth having been removed, The CHAIRMAN rose and said, that they had met that evening to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of one of the greatest cha racters this country had ever produced.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Cobbett was a man who raised himself from humble life by his own exertions, and not at the expense of the poor, for he was truly and literally the poor man's friend —(Hear, hear.) Now he (the Chairman) believed that the man who stood foremost in advocating the rights of the poor was the the best member Of society—he be lieved that whoever endeavoured to uphold the rights of the poor was taking the best course to secure the rights and well-being ofthe rich. He need not enlarge upon the merits of Mr. Cobbett. He was sure that his writings were well known to every one whom he had the honour to address. They knew the difficulties he had to en. counter through life; they knew the battles which he fought in sup port of the principles which he so manfully and ably maintained. — (Cheers.) His was a life of trial, more, perhaps, than that of any other individual of his age ; but, always undaunted, he was ever ready to stigmatise those of whose conduct he saw reason to disapprove. Mr. Cobbett was not deserving of his regard merely for his public services while living, but because he had left behind him lessons which might guide posterity. If ever there was a politician in this country whose writings were worthy of being per petually read, it was Mr. Cobbe:t. His productions were ever new, for he possessed the happy power of imparting, by the truth and novelty of his illustrations, an interest to the driest details, while he rendered the most intricate subject so intelligible to every capacity, that he who ran mighl read. Whatever was the confusion which this country might fall, we would find in the writings of Mr. Cobbett, a something to fall back upon; he had taught us that by clinging to the valuable institutions handed down to us for generations, we might at any time be saved from the crimes which had stained the first revolution in France. Such was the man whose memory he proposed to them that evening as a toast. The memory of Mr. Cobbett was then drank by the company standing, and in silence. Mr. SANKIE proposed the tout of " Trial by Jury," which was duly honoured. Mr. MARTIN proposed the toast of " Universal Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, and Annual Parliaments." The next toast, which was spoken to by Mr. M`Roa, was "The people, and may they take no part in the present struggle between land and the loom, except irasmuch as it may tend to forward the rights of popular representation." Mr. WELLS in proposing the toast of" Our faithful ally, the Na tional Debt," adverted to the dangerous and precarious state of the finances of the country. lie believed that Government could not have carried on of late the business of the country, if they had not been living upon the SAvinge_Banks money—(Hear. hear)—and he would recommend to the Members of the House of Commons, whom he saw then present, to place upon the books a motion to re. peal the 9th of Gco. 4, which enabled the Government to play with the Savings'-Banks deposits. Mr. O'CONNELL, who rose to address the company amidst loud cheers, said that the recommendation of the gentleman who had preceded him, reminded him of a counsel who, addressing a judge, said to him, " My Lord, I shall put this point upon the record;" to which his Lordship's reply was, "and a pretty figure it will make there."—(Laughter.) Ile could assure the Hon. Gentleman, that if he were to bring forward' such a motion, however much he might approve of it himself,it_would have not hance of meeting with a fair consideration from the present House of Commons. He could expect no remedy for the evil complained of from the House. He would tell them more, that a worse House he had never seen. He had sat in several Parliaments, but he had never known one from which the people had so little to expect as that of the present day..--(Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to say that he had come there that evening to testify his high respect fur the character of that wonderful man, \Valiant Cobbett.—(Hear, hear.) He had had the pleasure of his ac quaintance, and he had read his works for some thirty.six yews with renewed and increasing pleasure. He was a truly astonishing man—he thought him one of the greatest men this country or Europe had produced for centuries. By the force of his own talents and his unaided energies, he had raised himself from an humble rank to the highest position which could be attained in this country. He had worked his way through all difficulties, and he who had begun his life as a cottage boy, ended it as the representative of the English people in the English House of Commons.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. O'Connell then proceeded to advert to the present condition of the country, and after recommending a union among the middle and labouring classes as the only means of attaining justice for either, concluded by proposing the toast of " Civil and Religious Liberty all over the World." toast acknowledged, and several other s w er e a ft erwar d s drank, his wa wes find we are u na bl e t o no ti ce f rom t h e press of other intelligence.

CONSERVATIVE MEMBER FOR WESTMINSTER.— We must express our regret that Captain Rous has not taken any opportunity to explain or to contradict the blasphemous, and therefore, in a company of Christians, ungentlemanlike language imputed to him in the debate of Fridey. We do not allude to his sneer at the clergy ; in such sneers he may enjoy himself, in the good company of Mr. Robert Owen and the like, unmolested by us ; but we refer to his sneers at the duty, the value, and efficacy of prayer to the Creator. To say that such sneers are stupid and vulgar, and unbecoming a gentleman, is to treat them too mildly ; but we shall go no further at present —we hope that the Conservative ! Member for Westminster has been misreported.— Standard. We perceive that the anniversary of the St. Patrick's Benevolent Society, one of the roost benevolent of the many truly benevolent societies with which the metropolis abounds, will be celebrated as usual this year on St. Patrick's Day. The Presi dent on the coming occasion will he the Earl of Fortescue, late Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and his Lordship will be sup ported by a strong body of Vice-Presidents and Stewards. It is satisfactory to know, that whatever difference of p opinions may obtain on Irish topics, the support of this Institu tion is one in which the co-operation of all classes and shades of Irishmen, and Englishmen too, is found united. While the Ministry finds representatives in the Earl of Ripon, the Earl of Devon, and Mr. John Young, M. P. ( Treasury), the Opposition sends as its charitable delegates, the Duke of Leinster, Lord Palmerston, and Lord Duncannon, with many others from the advarse parties which might be easily enume rated. f. tiGrr Glossop o L , c o l s oh oakiri, the.—lv aoOs ffif n lri t,cleon : ifoti tl , ay hisl y enteredGr morning r,eet t ab the 2 and d Duke ke9t considerableolf-t t Norfolk,t 1 t. ia about nlagatt done to the iron safe by an attempt being made to beak i open.

LIBEL.--Mr. George Wyse, brother of the ex- Member for Waterford, has obtained a verdict, with 7501. damages, against the proprietor of the Waterford Mail, for having inserted in his Journal an anonymous communication, charging Mr. Wyse with perjur y, by alleging that that gentle man had falsely sworn, during the late election for Waterford, that he was six months residing in that city, he having been all that time, according to the libel complained of, a visitor on the Continent.

WESTERN ClRClllT.—Salisbury, March 7. This morning was fixed by Mr. Justice COLERIDGE for the trial of the Wraxhall burglars. The case has excited the greatest in terest and sensation in the county, front the extraordinary audacity with which the offence was committed, and the still nibre extra ordinary presence of mind that was displayed on the occasion by the Misses Audry. The consequence was that at an early hour each avenue leading to the Cuurt was densely crowded, and upon the doors being opened, every part of the hall that had not been previbusly filled by private admissions was crammed to suffocation. On the Learned Judge taking his seat, John Stokes, George Stokes, Nathaniel Burge, John 3filsons, John Gough, and if Ma'am Allen, were placed at the bar. On the indictment being read John Stokes pleaded guilty, all the others pleaded not gull'y. Miss Audry was called, and stated—l was at my father's house on the 22d December. On that night I went into my bedroom about half-past ten. I did not go to bed till two. In about a quarter of an hour after I got into bed I heard the key of my door move. I had not been asleep. I was wide awake. I said, " Who is corn ing in ?" Three men entered the room. I am in t certain that there was not a fourth standing at the door. They had thick sticks in one of their hands, and candles in the other. They came all round my bed, and then one held a light over my head and said, " If you'll be still we won't hurt you, but if you speak we'll knock your brains out." I answered, " I shall be quiet. What do you want ?" One said, " We're starving —we must have money. We have not been used to _ such ways, but it is no use resisting; we arc ten." I told him where the money was, in a basket on the table. There was about 131. there. He asked me for my watch. I gave it to him. I then said, " There is a locket so the watch which I should be glad to retain, as I very much value it." One of them said, " Let her have it." The man who had my watch then returned it to me, and I took off the locket and returned him the watch. They asked me more questions, and then said that they knew that there was more money in the house, and they must bave it, or they would kill all the people in the house. I said there was more money, but that I must get it, as it was in my mother's room, and I was afraid that any sudden alarm would injure her. They assented to this, and I put on a dressing-gown and went into my mother's room, When I went into the passage I saw five more. I belive there was a fifth, but I did not very distinctly see him. I then went into my mother's room. The men paused at the door, as they had promised. Three of them then came in, and two of them made use of the same threats to my mother as they had done to me. I think that it was I that found my mother's keys, and one of the men opened with them a little cedar door in the room. Two 51. bank notes were there, and were taken out with many articles of jewellery. The leader crushed the notes in his hand, and said, "this will never do ; weraust have gold, and we will have it." Burge was that man, and he acted throughout as the leader. They then took my mother's pocket, which was put into the leader's hat, which he quickly put on his head. There was some money in that pocket. Whilst this was going on, Milsom came to the door and said, " We have two pistols loaded, if you want them." No notice was taken of it by any one. At times the leader and George Stokes spoke to me quite civilly, making many apologies, and saying it was only starvation that led them to it. They shook hands with me once. They then asked me for the plate. I said, " I will get the keys in the servants' room, but I must go first." They allowed me to lead the way, giving me one of the candles which they held in their hands. They appeared now to have arrived at perfect confidence in me, and seemed to think that I should do whatever I promised. I knocked at the servants' door, and then entered. I told the servants not to be frightened, for if they made no noise I thought they would not be hurt, but they must give up-everything they had. I was fol. lowed by three men. There was a fourth outside. I had seen him in going from my mother's room to the servants'. He was pacing up and down, with a stick across his shoulders like a sentinel. The place in which he walked commanded all the doors of that floor. Two of the men repeated their threats. I obtained from one of the servants the key of the pantry-door, and the key of the plate-chest. Burge unlocked the door. They helped themselves to some silver things on the shelves, and then opened the plate-chest, which was in the pantry. Burge asked me which was silver and which plated, and they took the silver and left the plated. They then unfolded a tablecloth, and put the plate into it. There was a pistol in the box, which Burge took up, and asked if it was loaded. I answered, " No." Burge held it to my face in a scrt of bravado manner. One of them left the pantry be fore this and went away. The man who acted as sentinel had come down and stood at the pantry-door. I then had an oppor tunity of seeing him, as I stood about five minutes by his side. [Miss Audry here pointed out Milson as the man who had acted as sentinel, who was afterwards proved to have been a soldier.] Gough then took the cloth and carried it to the dining-room, The window was opened, the cloth was put out, and I think taken by some persons. The leader now began to swear and to say that lie knew there was more money in my father's room, and that they would have it. I said, "It is useless to speak to my father as he is very old and can't hear." I went to my father's room and was followed by three men. The sentinel remaived down stairs. Whilst I was trying to wake my father they searched his pockets. They took my father's watch and his purse, in which there were 245, They were disappointed at finding so little, and made use of very violent language. They said they would murder the whole set of us, especially Burge said so. The others did not speak so much, but joined and brandished their sticks. While this was going on, my sister called from the top of the stairs ; she was sleeping on a higher floor, and said she had a few shillings, which she would give them. They instantly ran up stairs, and I followed. When we went into my sister's room, my sister gave them my purse. I then saw them take her watch and her trinkets. They did not make use ofany threat, but brandished their sticks over her, and the leader swore a good deal. After they had satisfied themselves there was nothing mare, they ran down stairs, and I followed them. They had, whist in the pantry, asked for some wine. The leader had my keys, 1 said, " Give those keys to me, I hey can be no use to you." He gave them to me, saying, " You promsed to give us some wine." I opened the cellerette, and gave them a bottle. They asked for a glass ; I was going to fetch it ; but, before I did so, I saw that it was useless, as they were drinking out of the bottle. Before I went up stairs I saw two of them standing at the cellerette with bottles at their mouths, and two at the window. One was getting out. I saw nothing more of them. In about a quarter of an hour I returned, and they were quite sane. I could see the next morning that they had got in at the window. About an hour after they were gone, I and my sister commenced making a list of what we had lost. Miss Audry underwent a lengthened cross-examination by Mr. Stone, who failed, however, to shake her testimony in the slightest degree, or to obtain any admissions for the benefit of his client. The evidence given by Miss Audry was then confirmed, so far as she sat/ of the master, by her sister. Both the Misses Audry and the two servants spoke positively as to the identity of Burge. Other witnesses were called, who proved that a certain portion of the stolen goods were found in George Stokes's house—that he absconded—that he was taken at Wellington a fortnight after the robbery with another portion of tho goods in his possession. Against Gough it was proved that a part of the goods was found in his house—that he absconded, and was taken at Southa - npton with a coat of Mr. Audry's in his possession, and a diamond hoop ring. Against Allen it was proved that he lived at Twcrton, near to Bath, that, after Gough's house was searched, he was nowhere to be found—that, subsequently, he was taken at Smithfield with Mr. Audry's watch in his pocket. . - The Jury, after a short consideration, returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, except Milsom, The Learned Judge sentenced them to be transported for the term of their lives.—The case lasted from nine in the morning till eight at night.

AN OLD SOLDIER. GREECE AND FIER FINANCES.- ATHENS, FEB. 12.—The anniversaries of the arri val of the King and Queen in Greece, their birth days, and their name days, are all high holidays in the capital, and hopes, are cherished that on each of these days some favours will be bestowed, some pro motions made, or some act agreeable to the nation published. Such hopes have too often been disap pointed, and never more so than on the 6th instant, the ninth anniversary of King Otho's landing in Greece. The usual ceremonials were observed ' • but the only honours bestowed were crosses of the Sau veur to M. Christides and his associates, in reward for their betraying the national interests, and endeavouring to • deceive Sir Stratford Canning. The Greeks care little to see their Ministers covered with cheap deco rations ; they would not feel jealous or angry were they so covered from head to foot, before and behind, so little do the nation esteem them ; but the whole capital is indignant at the dotation made on the above day to M. Kriesis, the Minister of Marine, of 100 stremata of rich currant grounds in full bearing, in the plain of Corinth, and worth near 7,000/. sterling, yielding near 10 per cent. annually. This act is illegal ; no national lands can be -given away or sold without the concurrence of a National Assembly. These lands, some of the most valuable in the country, are specially pledged and mortgaged by the acts of the National Congresses for the payment of the British loans of 1824-25, 4 f0r the Na tional Bank Actions of Capo d'lstrias' Government, and for the Alliance Loan. It is high time that the bondholders and Messrs. Eynard and Rothchilds should protest against such wanton illegality. M. Kriesis is the minister who, by treachery and ill-faith, aided the King in forming a Ministry when Mavrocordato re signed; he has sold himself to the King for this gift— and the Greeks with one voice cry out, shame l If the King is once permitted of his own free will to grant such gifts, what is to become of the liberties of Greece ?—whence are to be paid the claiths of the veterans of the war of independence ?—where is the security for the public debt of Greece •? Capo d'lstrias never attempted such dishonest means to gain partisans. To show the falling off in the revenue, I will give you a statement of the British trade", for 1840 and 1841, in the Gulf of Patras, which I have from sources that can be fully relied upon, and I call the attention of all who are interested in Greece to examine it. In 1840, 60 British vessels entered Patras, of the tonnage of 7,926 tons, and with ... £39,500 cargoes worth In 1841, only 47 vessels entered, 6,235 tons, with cargoes worth 18,500 Falling off in entries, 14 vessels; in cargoes £21,000 In 1840, 62 British vessels cleared from Patras, with cargoes worth £230,200 In 1841, 47 British vessels cleared, with cargoes worth Falling off 15 vessels ; and value of cargoes £120,800 Thus the aggregate British trade last year in that part of Greece was less than half what it was in 1840. The deficiency in the revenue from this falling-off, is— On imports, the duty being 10 per cent. ad valorem _ £2,100 On exports, duty and land-tax 16 per cent.... 19,328 Total deficit in revenue £21,428 Or 600,000 drachmas from one district of Greece, on one branch of trade, and with one nation only. When you consider that this large deficit forms 1-25th part of the total revenue of Greece, and that all branches of trade and industry, as well as agriculture, have equally suffered during the past year, it is not too much to calculate the total deficit at 3,000,000 of drachmas, or one-fifth the revenue. Is this a moment to alienate national property ? Is this good faith to the nation, or to the foreign bondholders ? These latter must make themselves heard, and the powers that guaranteed the last loan must take instant means to put a stop to such proceedings, which exceed in in iquity all the blunderings of the Regency mad its le gion of Bavarian leeches who so long sucked the heart's blood of Greece. HAN G-C H 00-FOO. THE ANCIENT CAPITAL OF CHINA. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT WHO HAS LONG RESIDED IN INDIA.) If llang-Choo-Foo (capital of Chekiang, the richest and most populous province in China,) be really taken by our threes, they are now progressing in that course which will most alarm his Celestial Majesty. Hang- Choo-Foo is, by Sir John Barrow and otlicrs, con sidered the best built city (of granite) in China. It is situated at the north head of the Imperial Canal, on the banks of a deep river three to four miles broad, opposite the city, from which one canal runs to Ning po, another canal to Cha-po, forty miles off, and from whence the whole trade between China and Japan is carried on ; another canal, the Imperial, runs to Pe kin, and by the Hang-Choo-Foo river and the Canton river there is a communication by water (the Meting Pass excepted), and by which Lord M`Cartney s Embassy travelled between the two provincial capitals. The imperial Canal from Hang-Choo-Foo to the Great liver Yang-Tzee-Kiang, is navigable by vessels of 200 to 250 tons, loaded with rice, hence any of our largest steam-vessels can traverse this part of it; the canal in this part is very broad. Hang-Choo-Foo was once the seat of the Emperors of China. The times are stirring in India and China; it is non sense to hesitate any longer ; our Government should at once call out the subsidiary forces, three hundred and fifty thousand, and take Birma (its fron tier to seaward I mean, and a hundred miles inland) ; take Nepaul and subsidize it; occupy Oude de facto, and not, as at present, by an imbecile and oppressive shadow of kingly native Government ; and compel the Punjaub to become subsidized. China and Aff gbanistan is then only a flea-bite. India will never be thoroughly tranquillized till these thorns in our side are plucked out: If it he contended, what right has Great Britain thus to usurp power over these comparatively independent states, the answer is. it is for the (rood of the human race, that anarchy, infanti cide, and abominable cruelty should be extinguished in those wretched and ill-governed and enslaved kingdoms ; and as they are continually harassing the British possessions in India, and endangering their repose, and as our occupation of these misgoverned kingdoms would guarantee an extinction of these abo minations, and substitute order, civilization, peace, and tranquillity, and the blessing of the Scriptures of truth, it is the duty of England to bestir herself, and put an effectual end at once to the present unsatisfac tory state of affairs in those kingdoms. 11,. w. THE NEW HOUSES OF IARLIA• s'INT E ... (From the Survey o r, _Et n and Architect) The works .of this splendid pile are now ift progress, and although the magnitude of the under: taking, and the many unforseen circumstances whi,e° may occur to delay it, render the tiree of its 0000 e," tion a matter of. uncertainty, it is still stitistaget w, observe that no exertions are spared to hasten Ow pert i gress of the works, and that, should the Pres e „ favourable weather continue, a more than usual Ow of proceeding may be anticipated during this spri.ngs: Another winter's experience has been added to th e.. " ._ of last year in reference to the capacity of the meg ° a sian limestone to stand the attacks of frost, , 11 _ 1 , nothing can be more satisfactory than the sound sit; of all the blocks of stone which are dispersed o ver c u , ;: . site of the works, We did not observe or flaw in any of these blocks ; and being assured biatro. the severe frosts of last winter were equally un P t hit ductive of injury to the stone, we may conclude it is more exempt than most other limestones from tw' particular species of destruction. 'jog , It is scarceiy possible, without the aid of dra w nor . to convey to a stranger a correct idea of the Pr ° t f oie , tion of the building which is completed up to this i v er In general terms it may be said, that the Whole .r, r. front is carried up to the second floor, on a cool ie able part of which the preparations are now being lie t n an d for raising the iron girders of the floor. The 1 5 , 00 - a single crte. west ends are also raised to the same height ; t' e f the crete is laid for the tower at the western end ° t he building, and the foundations for the tower atder tb eastern end are in course of excavation. Th e of concrete is seven feet four inches, and the many: ip shire landings; which are to cover it, are six in° of depth, and of immense superficial dimensions , in 00 of them exceeding 150 square feet. These sW es ro • the micaceous sandstones of Yorkshire, and are Po s t cured from Bramley Fell and other places in county. e a 00 There are at present six travelling cranes us ow the work for setting the stones. Each of these e h i s sists simply of a crab fixed on a platform, whiciroo, mounted on wheels, and these wheels work 011 logs bars, which are laid down on longitudinal thuhfri, the at a considerable height above the level to whic h is building is raised. The motion of the platforthe effected by means of cogs on the perpihery °, wheels, which work in a corresponding rack C r' the the bars or rails on which they travel. Thi s ' try usual plan adopted for giving action to these use d yelling cranes, and is similar to that which "'as of on the earlier railways, before the practicabill .aer. communicating motion by simple adhesion wa s .°n on stood. The crabs have also a transverse 0 1 ° 1 , 1 , 05 fit the platforms, and by means of these two right angles with each other, the stones cal l " - ,. ec ise , jested with the greatest nicety just over the Pitein. spot they are to occupy in the work. Numer° l l the porary railways are laid down on the work, I ° t he purpose of conveying the stones on trucks ft in ss hig sheds where the masons are employed in "'": them. The rails used are of a light desetteips exactly similar to those of the Croydon ra ilway'. bo at spiked or screwed down to longitudinal balks, wit the intervention of chairs. a fford The sheds are conveniently disposed, and pa Op shelter to a great number of masons enip le :,, dressing the stones. These are seen in all s l°g o u gli preparation, some only scabbled or picked into 0 roia form as they come from the quarry, others unde r g o itD the process of hammer-dressing, and picki n g/01 . sharp-pointed tools, while others are being ,„,.,1 5 or dressed to a smooth surface with flat-edged '— chisels. wet The iron girders intended for the second t1e°,, r ,.„ 0 four tons each, and are tested by means of the P" - Thel or hydrostatic pump, with a force of thirty tons' Or tire cast at the works of Messrs. Brarnah, n ear mingham. It is known to most of our readers that th e r es io cipal stone employed in this building is the ln a g l be i s limestone, as recommended by Messrs. Barry' Go. Beche, and the o th e r co mmissioners appointed bY t i o os vernment to inquire into and report on the 1, 0 0 kinds of stone suitable for such a building pr 0 :, originally contemplated that this stone could 'li l t cured from Bolsover Moor, near Huddersfield',„„ this , was soon found that the supply obtainable fr °— ,,, s od , locality would be quite insufficient to meet the de been. in consequence of which, large quarries ha ve v iico, opened.at Anstone, on the line of the same ge ° th e . formation, from which place the greater par t ore, stone is now procured. The quarries of Anst°'' sito situate about three miles from Roche Abbey' the about twelve miles east of Sheffield ; they a re i f - 5 hands of Messrs. Grissell and Peto, the contraet,°,:es the building, so that the supply and the Va ILI :A the stone, with respect to size and other part' c ip e t& are in their own control, and not subject to be by the caprice, negligence, or spirit of extortion , ' i c or not unfrequently characterise proprietors jibe mand the exclusive supply of an i m p or tant sten ° W the one in question. The colour of the stoll e 2 o . t I first quarried is a brownish yellow, not unlike " coarse brown sugar ; but when tolerably dry, as it it has been under cover of the sheds for two ye ars, to colour is a delicate cream almost approachint white. Some of the older stones, when firs. ts the, the work, present this white appearance, b ut 'o or soon, particularly after rainy weather, resumede not what of their former yellow colour, but of a sh a so brown as when they contain the gnarl . l e t t' Like most other free-stones, it is softest and O s ' t oir. dress when first quarried, but even when dry , its co ' t formity of texture, and the almost entire abse°o harder veins, render it a good free -working st t ive the hands of , the mason ; and it is not that injury to the points and edges of the tools , l i d is so highly objectionable in many limestones, most of the harder free-stones. A tolerably u ires polish can be put on the stone ; and it only r e jobl e the advantage of a white colour to render it Ye in ornamental decoration. 13° th In addition to the magnesian limestone, v• -e n io,. stone from Painswick in Gloucestershire is e r° Tor''' for some of the more ornamental parts of thh e The extreme ease with which the Bath stone pan reli cut into the most elaborate and intricate forgo , do' ders it superior to all others for carved orne'll 0 1 masonry. We cannot conclude this brief notiee vil o ilY alluding in terms of high praise to the wor t '' larg e spirit of order which pervades the whole of thel tit e o works. It has been our lot more than once to b i ns with pain, in the course of some large una e '," e it e..
