We have received by the Overland Mail highly im portant news from China and India, a detailed account of which will be found in another part of The Sun. On the Ist of November, Chusan, though strongly defended, was re-occupied by the British troops. Chinghae was taken in gallant style on the 10th of the same month. This city which is situ ated' on the left bank of the Ningpo River, strongly fortified The walls were nearly three miles in circumference, and presented to the invading force works which the ablest Chinese engineers pronounced to be impregnable ; yet in two hours this city, occupied by 3,000 Chinese soldiers, was captured by a mere handful of British troops. On the 13th, Ningpo was taken without the loss of a man, the Chinese being so terrified as to offer no resistance. Sir HENRY POTTINGER, her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, imme diately proceeded to' establish a Provisional Govern ment in Chusan ; intimating to British subjects in China, that under no circumstances would Chinghae and its dependencies be restored to China, until the whole of the demands of England were not only com plied with, but carried into full effect. But while the news from China is most cheering, we lament to state that the accounts from Cabool are deeply distressing. In an insurrection of the Afghans, supposed to be intended to over throw the throne of Shah SOOJAH, the Gal lant , Officers Sir ALEXANDER BURNES, his bro ther, a Lieutenant, Captain SwAYNE, Captain ROIHNSON, Lieutenant. ROBAN, Ensign SALISBURY, Lieutenant WHEELER, Ensign GORDON, Lieutenant RoTiismr, Captain CODRINGTON, Captain SPOTTIS WOOVE, and Major THAIN, were all barbarously , masKvred, The Shah SOOJAII-00L-11OOLX has in dee&heen a dear bargain to us. The details of this insitrreetitn are painfully interesting. An interesting debate took place last night in the House of Commons on Mr. WALLACE'S mo tion 'to recur to the old practice of the Members making remarks on presenting petitions. The motion was opposed by the body of the Conser vatives, headed by Sir R. PEEL and Sir R. isaus, and by some Liberals, of Whom Mr. Bno- THERTON spoke against the motion, which was lost by a large majority. The argument which seemed to have most weight with the House Nvs the great number of petitions. Sir ROBERT PEEL said 17,000, on an average, were presented every year, which made it impossible for the Rouse to attend to them all. But that argument, duly considered, goes further than Sir R. PEEL would like to see it carried; it goes to convict the Commons of inefficiency ; and we are rather surprised that Mr. O'CONNELL did not seize it, and state that it would justify a repeal of the Union. The House of Commons exists mainly to redress the grievances of the people. On that principle the Commons always insist on reading some Bill before they will take her MAJEavv's Speech into consideration. They do that to preserve their right to discuss and re. dress grievances before they grant supplies.. But the statement of last night is a confession that the House cannot find tune to attend to the grievances of the people, much less to discuss and redress them. It has become of little use, there fore, by its own confession ; and is unable now to attain the object for which it was andestablished, which which still constitutes its principal duty. The union with Scotland, and the union. with Ireland, added a third to the population, and probably to the petitions, but it did not add one-third to the hours which the House sits, or facilitate the public business in the like propor tion. As these two unions added to the number of Persons whose &tin - drives TYlt only was aPPointed to redress, so the increase of po- T. 1.54.1 • 'l,7k,', 114 NatlitWei %VA" /WO:, pulation, and the increased interest taken in pub- • lie affairs; quadrupled the claims for attention and redress that were made on the House. No efforts, however, were systematically made on the part of the House to meet the altered state ofci: cumstances. Now and then a little tinkering was done to the matter, but nothing effectual; and at . length the House had no alternative but to take refuge in its present plan of actually shoving the petitions of the people aside, refusing a hearing to those who presented them, and so stifling, if it could,the co mplaints of the people. The present ac knoWledged inefficiency of the House is obviously one of those cases which abound in our country, in which circumstances have completely changed, while institutions have remained the same, or nearly the same, till their unfitness to answer the end originally proposed has become so glaring that it can escape no man's notice. We must add, also, that while the House of Ciknmons has become as it were inefficient, from the increase in the number of the people who make demands on it, and their increase of intel ligence, it has also departed from the ancient simplicity of its institution, and usurped functions which were not originally assigned to it. To grant supplies, and obtain the redress of griev ances, were in the first instance its only duties. Gradually and successively it extended its power, till it has engrossed to itself; by making laws on every conceivable subject, a con ' trol over all the functions of government. It has in fact, very much extended those functions. A single despot would never dream of meddling. with the manufacture of glass and snuff, of cot tons and soap, or of making laws for all the every-day occupations of the people; but 658 gentlemen, consisting of persons acquainted with the ordinary business and affairs of life, some of them retired traders, some of them still actively engaged in business, and all having an (especial eye to their own profit, naturally and necessarily interfere with an immense variety of occupations, of which an ordinary despot has no comprehension. Hence it has happened, that the House of Commons has not only usurped a con trol over all the functions of government known to our ancestors; it has so extended those func tions, that they embrace most of the business of life. As it extended the sphere of its operations, it gave rise to a greater number of complaints and demands. The people not only petition it to undo what it has done, but to do what it has never yet undertaken. They not only ask it to re peal its own Corn-laws, but to extend the Church, and civilise Aflica. The sources, there fore, of an increase in the number of petitions have been numerous ; but there could be no cor responding . increase in the power of the House of Commons to attend to them. If, indeed, it had divided itself into Commit tees, or Bureaux, like the French Chamber, and appointed one to receive Irish, another Scotch, and another English petitions; one to re ceive petitions concerning trade, another peti tions concerning the Church or religion, and another to receive petitions concerning educa tion, the House of Commons would have adapted itself to its new .circumstances, and been enabled to perform its duties to the people. As the House departed from its proper func tions, and extended the sphere of its duties, and as society increased without any correspond ing increase in the facilities for transacting busi ness, so we cannot be surprised that the Rouse has become unfit to perform the part of its du ties now in question. Sir R. PEEL, naturally enough for him, but not in accordance, as we think, with public opinion, said the public de sired that the House of Commons should pro ceed rather to practical measures than occupy its time with debates on petitions. We think that the House of Commons cannot occupy itself' with anything of so Much importance to the people, as their petitions. At least it is then listening to their wishes and prayers. • When it is engaged in practical measures it may be enacting a Coer cion Act, suspending the Habeas Corpus, filch ing away the rights of the electors by a new system of registration, or passing a Corn-law to starve them out of existence. Or, it may be, wrangling, as Mr. WALLACE observed, for four nights successively on some party question. Its duty is, not to make laws against the people, but to redress their grievances. As it cannot well know what these are unless it listen to their prayers, it is bound to receive their petitions with respect, and allow the Members to discuss them. It is still in the power of Members, as Mr. ROEBUCK remarked, to raise a debate.on the question that the petition do lie on the table, and if the majority prefer making laws about what'they do not comprehend to attend ing to petitions, we hope that a sturdy minority, though defeated on a division, will endeavour to . make the House do its duty to the people. , 4 4 ~ .,Tst • --- 5.6 ti , GEE fT BAZAAR DEMONSTRATION. submissionof the Beni Zorouel and Beni Chelout tribes is not ac complished, the rains having impeded the operations of the column of General Budeau, who was about to escort a convoy to skaters, but waited the return of fine weather. AU was quiet in the neighbourhood of Mostaganem.—Commerce. The Bazaar at Manchester has shown the lively in terest which is taken in the North of England in the question of free trade. In fact, it may be regarded as a great public meeting of 30,000 persons, in which a show of hands has been, not by holding them up, but by putting them into the pockets and drawing thence the means of supporting that wholesome agitation which has produced so great an effect upon the public mind. The Manchester Times says— , The Bazaar has been truly a great demonstration, and the libe rality of,purchasers has emulated the patient industry which has produced an almost endless variety of articles of taste and utility. Thousands have been engaged In preparing for the sate, and thou sands have cheerfully contributed their money for some memorial of the occasion, and tens of thousands have paid for admission; and all have been animated by the motive to release trade from its trammels, and to enable the industrious classes to earn their b t ead by their ,wn well rewarded labours. The admissions, purchases, and donations, at the close of the fifth days exhibition, amounted to 6,9851. 165., and on Saturday there was a further sum of 6501. drawn, making a total of 7,5001. Not more than one-half of the articles contributed were sold during the first week, and the Bazaar is to continuo for four or five days more, so that it is probable that nearly 10,0001. will be raised to for ward the objects of the League, which were thus declared at the meeting of Deputies, in Lonton, in April, 1839 : " That the several towns and districts of the empire pos sessing Anti-Corn-law Associations be united under the title of the Anti-Corn-law League ; and its object is hereby declared to be, by the formation of local associa tions, the delivery of lectures, the publication and distri bution of tracts, the establishment of a stamped circular, the securing the co-operation of the public press, the for warding petitions to Parliament, and by every legal and constitutional means to obtain the total and immediate Repeal of the Corn and Provision Laws." We understand that it has been an almost invariable instruction to the Deputies, who are to meet at the Crown and Anchor to morrow, that they shall listen to no proposal of compro mise, but demand unshackled freedom to import corn and provisions. . A meeting of Deputies from Manchester, Liverpool, Rochdale, Leeds, Edinburgh, Paisley, and other towns, including some of the active members of the Metro politan Associations, was held at the Crown and An chor this forenoon; Join: BROOKS, Esq., of Manchester, in the chair; to form arrangements for the great meeting to-morrow, at which it was resolved that the Chairman should ascertain when Sir R. PEEL would receive the whole of the Deputies before he makes his statement to the House of Commons on Wednesday. The Paris Journals have all reached us, but they contain no news of importance. We subjoin extracts from them : The following news has been received from Oran, of the date of the 23cl of January : " Abd.el-Kader has ravaged the tribe of Beni Amer, and put se veral of the Chiefs under arrest, because he suspected them of be m ming partisans of the French. It is said he has declared his determination to decapitate twenty, and has sent word to General lustapha that on his appearing before Tlemcen the first objects that are to meet his eye shall be the heads of these Chiefs, with their names inscribed above them. Thus the Emir, reduced to the last extremity, hopes by such acts of cruelty to strike teiror into the Arabs. It is said that he has still under him SOO horse and 15,000 foot, regular troops; but the people are snore excited against him. On the 20th three Spahis arrived at Oran from Mascara, with dispatches, but their contents were kept secret. They are however supposed to confirm previous reports, that Gen. Lam or Mere had made a successful reale en the Bachem, who were under the command of the Emir's father-in-law, and the result of which :s said to be the capture of one thousand head of cattle, and the submission of the tribe of Hachem Garrabat. The Garrabats are in communication with the French authorities, and passengers arc daily passing between the tribe and Oran- From Mascara they write that the winter has been unusually severe, and that they had been locked in by the snow for tell days; that meat had become scarce, and the troops were subsisting upon a loaf of bread every three days, with a small quantity of wheat. On the 9tb the Bcni Chougrans submitted to General Lamoriciere, who had previously made a severe inroad upon the tribe. From 'Mostaganem letters of the 18th have been received, stating that the tribe of the Btidgas, which has lately submitted, is not of so much importance as has been represen• 1, inasmuch as it numbers only between 3,000 alai 4,000 ami cannot 'Lamb!' rnorl than 450 horsemen well twouated. It has upwards of 20,0015 head of cattle. The THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 184`z. Spanish Aetive Stock opened flat at 24i ; Mexican Bond 3 i n the Council Chamber.

He did not mean the Corn-laws merely, but all laws which ope rated in preventing provisions coming into the country When they asked for the repeal of the food laws, they included the laws which restricted the importation of corn, cattle of every description. Pigs, beep, and other cattle, together with dried and salt provi,ions, could be supplied In great abundance fi om the neighbouring countries, more especi,lly from Ham burgh ; and it was not too much for him to say, that if these 'awe were repealed, he should not be asserting that which was beyond proof, when he said that the very best meat in London might be supplied at the rate of 2 1 / 2 (1. or 3d. per pound.— ( Cheers.) They therefore asked not only for a repeal of the Corn-laws, but all laws prohibiting the free importation of food.—( Hear, hear.) Those who were to follow him would go more minutely . into the subject, or he might allude to the articles of tea, coffee, sugar, &c., and other articles, on which the duty almost amounted to a prohibition. Since he last addreased them, a remark had been made in the House of Peers—he need not mention names—that the Cern , laws were not unchristian, and he thought it became him to notice such a fact. Laws which prevented the people receiving food, appeared to him to he in direct contradiction to that divine law which saith, do unto others as ye wuu'd they should do unto you in the same circumstances. They would remember that a return was moved for by the late Member for Leeds, in order to ascertain what number of quarters of wheat were thrown away into the river, anti from that return made to the House of Com mons, it appeared that several hundreds of quarters had been thrown into the river Thames and into the sea ilear to Liverpool. Was it not unchristian to throw that which God had giver for food to man into the sea? He knew not the. meaning of Chris tianity, if that was not an nnchristiart act. He had been in the City during the late election, and a gentleman came up and addressed him (the Chairman), and said he hoped they were striving in Lamteth for the repeal of the Corn•laws, and that gentleman related an anecdote to him (the Chairman), which he would repeat to them, and then leave them to judge whether these laws were unchristian or not. His friend said be hal been into a shop—a baker's shop—and while he was there a little girl of about ten or twelve years of age came into the shop for the usual quantity of flour for the week for the family. The baker asked her what money she had, and she replied she. had brought the usual sum. The baker said she must -go back and tell her mother that un less she sent so much more money she could not have the usual quantity. The child returned, and; presently came back again, saying that her mother had no more money, and the baker was therefore to send as much flour as the money she sent would purchase. Was that not unchrstian ?- Let them put it to themselves and say, when their children were crying for food— hrn they had no opportunity of supplying them,there were laws in existence which prevented foad from coming into this country, ought theie abominable laws to be suffered to remain? He would not.detain them longer ; others would come after him and propose resolutions which he hoped they would agree to. He believed in hi's conscience that if these laws were not re pealed, England's greatness would assuredly fall. He believed tco that the industry this country could not maintain itself against the competition that was offered to it abroad. He believed further that these laws were a crime, as they were cruel and oppressive, and he hoped the public would rise as oiie man and denounce them.— (Cheers.) He thought that unless they were immediately taken into .consideration, the country would decline ; and in stead of employment being given to the industrious labourer, as hitherto, they would have to emigrate to other countries, there to aeek employment. He would not trespass further on their time, but call on Mr. Milts to move the first resolution. Mr. MILES rose to move the first resolution. He had studied the Corn-laws for the last twenty years,' and always found that prices were about half as high again in England as on the Continent. Noc was it the ease with corn alone; but it was the same with meat also, thus placing the English la bourer in a situation which rendered him unable to compete Kith the foreigner. Perhaps they thought the reduction of the prices of corn and provisions would cause a reduction in the amount of wages.—( Hear, and cries of " We know it," mingled with considerable uproar, which lasted for some time. ) He had taken the trouble to calculate the amount of saving to that parish a'one in the article of meat, if the prices were the same as on the Continent, which saving would amount to no less a sum than 263,4851.—( Loud chem.) The Honour able Gentleman then proceeded to state that the rates collected for that parish amounted to 65,938/. 3s. 5d., the greatest part of which went to the salaries of clerks and the support of our establishment.—(Cries of " TWat is the ques tion," and great uproar, which continued throughout the Hon. Gentleman's speech.) He concluded by pro e osieg the follow ing resolution That it is the opinion of this meeting, that taxes upon the people's food are oppressive, cruel, and unjust, and destructive to the commerce anti nat,ve industry of the country, and alike repugnant to the dictates of reason and hutnanity, and the highest pritici t ilea_ofebeeChriStran religiorn Mr. WILLIAM HAWES rose and was received with much cheering. He said he was totally unprepared to address them that evening, as he had not the slightest idea when he entered that room of being called upon to do so, but standing there and being called ferward as the advocate of the principles expressed in the resolution, that it was cruel, unjust, and oppressive to tax the people's food, it was quite impossible for him to resist the opportunity given to him that night of expressing the senti ments and feelings w.th which he had ever viewed the sui ject. —(Cheers.) The taxes on food were oppre,sive, becaase they entirely dept ived the poor man of taking his labour to the best possible market, while he was compelled to buy his food at prices fixed by the seller. The Hon. Gentleman then al luded to the late notice of Sir Robert Peel in the Hou e of Commons. He (Sir Robert Peel) could not surely intend to enact over again the farce of 1829 ? He thought that even the talents of Sir Robert Peel could not palm off such another specimen of Jim Crow sm. The Hon. Gentleman concluded a long and eloquent speech by seconding the resolution. Mr. HIND rose to propose an amendment. He looked upon that discussion as a large cake. The Chairman began to nibble at the side of it, and was followed by the others, who had pretty nearly nibbled all round the cake.—(Laughter.) He (Mr. Hind) would show them, if they would but listen to him for five minutes, that lie would eat right through it.—(Chcers and laughter.) He liked and prized a large loaf as well as any man, for he was a teetotaller, and he liked plenty of tea.--( A Voice—" With rum in it.") —(Loud laughter.) The Chairman had told them that they would have certain resolutions. He had told them that they might get, by the repeal of these Foed-laws, meat at lid. per pound ; but did he not know that there were thousands of labouring men, both agricultural and manufacturing, who were unable to procure meat at all, and who never would, under the present system?—(Loud cheers.) What was the price of meat to the poor weaver of Carlisle, or the cloth weaver of • Leeds, who had but about 2 1 ,4 d. per day for the support of his children and himself ?--( Hear.) How was that man to get two or three pounds of meat, even though it were but 2d. a lb., while he could not even get bread, and while the present system lasted he never would.— (Cheers.) The Chairman had further said, that notwith standing all the ddmonstrations made to Parliament, of the starvation prevailing; notwithstanding all this privation, they would not rep -al those laws. He (Mr. Hind) would ask whe ther the present Parliament was more likely to repeal them than the former one ? He then al uded to the bribery used at the late election, and stated that there were at that time sixty cases before Parliament of petitions against elections. This country was in the same posi tion as France before the Revolution, by the system of class legislation.—( Loud cheers.) Look to Louis the Fourteenth's time and his glorious wars, together with that of his successor Louis the Fifteenth. At that time the nobility were high in the land, and contributed nothing to the taxes, all of which fell on the people. The aristocracy of ihi country were going on in the same way, and soon they would place England in the same position as France was then.—(Cheers.) lie knew that the agricultural population had been for the last fifty years in a state of starvation.—( Hear.) He had been in Hampshire last autumn, and he was then in a village; and he was met with such complaints as these—" My husband has been out of work for the last nine weeks ; we are starving"—and there were hundreds of such cases. Talk of the Christian religion, let them have justice 1—( Hear, hear, hear.) The Anti-Corn law people were under a mistake. If the Corn-laws were re pealed to-morrow they would have bread but a very little cheaper, they would only have the amount of food they could not produce themselves --(Hear, hear.) They could not em ploy all the world for that. What they wanted was a reform of the system which enabled the Peels and the Marshall% to accumulate millions while others are left to starve.—(Loud , cheers.) He would not give a farthing for a system that did riot prevent a man dying with six millions of money, and at the same time prevent another man dying of starvation.--(A voice, " Could you ?") Yes I could, (said Mr. Hind,) have I not told you how, you blockhead ?—( Cheers, uproar, and laughter.) The amendment he had to.propose was, •• That the feeling of the meeting is decidedly hostile to all monopoly, whether in commerce. or legislation, whether in corn, timber, sugar, or in the religious and civil institutions. This meeting is therefore of opinion, that the Corn-laws are wicked, and passed by an usurping Parliament ; as well as the sugar and timber prohibitions, together with every other monopoly, and ought to be totally and unconditionally re pealed; and to prevent any future enactment of that or any similar pernicious scheme, this meeting is -further of opinion, that, in order to prevent this, and save the people front class legislation, radical reform in Parliament is imperiously de• mended. That all present evils and future ones can be pre vented by no other machinery than the adoption of that great, clear, and comprehensive document the People's Charter." Mr. BaowN seconded the amendment in a very long speech. M. HUGGETT proposed a counter amendement, but the amendment of Mr. Hind, after a great deal of uproar and con fusion, was carried by a large majority. A resolution was then pro, osed to adopt a petition to Parlia ment for the repeal of the Corn-laws ; but an amendment was passed adopting the people's petition, alias the People's Charter, in its stead. Three Chartist Delegates were then chosen for the Anti- Corn-law League, and after three cheers had been given fur the Charter and Feargus O'Connor, the meeting separated in some confusion.

However wonderful the enterprise which has distin guished this country in her manifold works of art, science, and manufacture, we think there is none more remarkable than in that of CUTLERY. The celebrated Messrs. JOSEPH RODGERS and SONS, of Sheffield, have more than kept pace with the march of improve ment in their own peculiar art. The other day, on passing through Sheffield, we had the rare pleasure of visiting their extensive SHOW ROOMS, When to our surprise and delight, we observed what may be called an eighth wonder of the world—a KNIFE such a' the most ambitious "destructive" never before contemplated ! Imagine a hunter's knife two feet lung in th e handle; .and containing a thousand blades,—for their numberless variety is legion ! We were so absorbed with their beauty and combination, that we can give but a faint description of this unique chef dceuvre of British skill and ingenuity. The handle is made of mother-of-pearl, ornamentally carved and inlaid with precious stones ; the ends or shoulders of the knife are of massive cast gold ; the edges of the handle ara covered with thick plate gold and en graved. Tho blades most in sight on one side of the knife are very beautifully etched with some of the most magnificent buildings in England, the most prominent of which are Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, the New Houses of Parliament, the New Royal Exchange, Haddon Hall, the Pavilion at Brighton, Kirkstall Abbey, Fountains Abbey, &c. On the other side of the knife the blades are etched with American views, the Capitol at Washington, the President's House, the principal part of the Senate House, Columbia Bridge, the Park and City Hall, New York, &e. A variety of characteristic sports are etched on different parts of the blades, such as hunting, shooting, fishing, hawking, &c the Berkeley Hunt, in full cry; the Chatsworth Coursing party ; the Duke of Rutland's Shooting party, &0., &c. There are many medallion likenesses on the blades, the most conspicuous of which are her Majesty Queen Victoria, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Queen Elizabeth, William the Con queror, the Dukes of Wellington end Marlborough, Fox, Pitt, Milton, Sir Francis Chantrey, Sir Isaac Newton, Shakspere, Earl Fitzwilliam, Watt, Benjamin West, &c. Iti addition to the blades are a great many instruments, tastefully formed and highly polished, such as are required by sportsmen,. and others used by sur geons, dentists, mechanics, &c. On the whole, we think this performance of Messrs. RODGERS highly creditable to the national character for enterprise as well as taste. The various scientific men and artists rho contributed to the production of this curiosity have admirably per formed their respective duties. Nor is the patience dis played in the completion of the task to be overlooked, for nearly two years were occupied in its making Altogether, such an extraordinary work of art ought to be deposited in the British Museum as an exquisite sample of British skill at the present day.

TATTE RSALL'S—YESTERDAY. Our anticipations that the meeting of Parliament would have some influence on the attendance here, was fully borne out by the increased numbers pre senk, And the con equent improvement in busi ness .; on . the various events now in the mar ket. The. variations in the odds against the two Derby favourites were of little moment, but in quoting Chatham at - 11 to 1, we ought to, state that 1,200 to 100 was laid agst him and Canadian jointly, and 1,000 to 100 agst him and Ballinkeele, and that no one would back him singly under 13 to 1. Robert de Gorham de clined several points, and the Lord of Holderness as sumed a position which, without much risk, might have been assigned him some weeks since. The Artful Dodger was backed to win fourteen or fifteen thousand pounds at 50 to 1, and Dr. Allen at least sixteen thousand pounds at 100 to 1, but without any visible effect on the betting. Lasso, Defier, Barrier, and the Dirce colt, were in some force ; not so Auckland, Meteor, or the Joanna colt ; indeed, with the exception of those previously mentioned, very few were touched upon. The Oaks and Chester Cup betting was in small amounts, and without any feature of sufficient importance to dilate upon.

THE LATE DUKE OF CLEVELAND.—The demise of this nobleman, so many years ardently attached to the .ports of the turt, occasions not only a vacancy in the office of Steward of Doncaster races this year, but renders null and void all the nominations which appear in the name of the late Noble Duke. The Hon. Col. Anson is named as likely to be the new steward of the great meeting in the north. On Saturday an inquest was held by Nr.carttar , at the Spanish Galleon, public-house, Church-street, Green wich, on the body of a handsome young female, named Miss Emma Couldery, aged twenty, who committed self-destruction. The Jury returned a uerclict of Insanity.

DEATH OF SILL GEORGE SFIIFFNER, BART. —On Thursday morning last the above respected Baronet died at Coombe Park, Sussex, at the advanced age of seventy-nine years, having been born in 1762. He married, in 17'4, Miss Bridger, only daughter and heiress of Sir John Bridger, of Coombe-place, Sussex. In 1807 he was first returned to the House of Commons as representative of Lewes, . for which borough he was re-elected in 1812 and 1618, in which year he was created a Baronet. Captain Henry Shiffner, R.N., bore in 1789, succeeds his father in the Baronetcy.

A new comedy entitled the. Irish Heiress, was pro duced last night at this theatre. It is from the pen of M. Bourcicault, whose lively play of London Aisur once was, it may - be remembered, deservedly success ful last season, notwithstanding that it was too much an. echo of our earlier comic writers. In the present pro duction there is much less of the imitative. The author trusts more to his own resources; and though he ex hibits no characters nor incidents marked by decided originality, yet he is not constantly reminding us, as in his London Assurance, of Congreve, Cibber, and. more especially. of Sheridan. The plot of his comedy is complex, but its leading features are as follow :—Sir William Stanmore • (Mr. G. Van denhoff) is a fashionable young roue, who is anxious to rid him Self of an incumbrance, in the shape of a young lady whom he has seduced, as he imagines, by a counterfeit marriage.' With this view, he applies to his French valet, Lenoir (Wigan), whom he prevails on to escort the deserted girl to India, and there make her his wife. Having so far arranged his plans, he pays insidious -court to Miss Merrion, whom he kr.ows to be a rich Irish heiress;' but not being by any means confident of the success of his suit, as she has already evinced a penchant for Percy Ardent. (Charles Mathews), he strives hard to get up a quar rel between her and her lover, which. may have the effect of estranging them from each other. In order to accomplish these ends, he purposely sets by the ears Lord Daventry (William Farren), at whose house the Irish heiress is residing, • and his young wife, by leading each into the belief that the other is faithless—that Lordship, for instance, is carrying on an intrigue with the young Irish girl, and that her Ladyship is at tached to Percy Ardent. Out of these mistakes and fancies arises the chief fun of the comedy. .Lord Daventry is jealous—his wife, ditto. A separation is talked of, and the articles are about to-be signed when the lawyer, Supple (Cooper), who is to sign them, makes the startling discovery that the girl whom Sir William Stanmore has seduced is • his own daughter. Of course, the outraged father insists on reparation be ing made to his child, when he makes a second inoite welcome discovery than the first—that as the marriage between the parties had been solemnised - in Scotland, it is valid, however imagined to be otherwise. Sir thus foiled, finds that he has no resource left but to be honest, so makes all - due reparation to the various parties whom- he has offended, .4y agreeing to marry Supple's daughter, and confessing the intrigues by which he had produced a tetnporary.aliena-, tiou between Lord Daventry and his wife. Percy. Ar- . dent, who has been Sir William's tool throughout the affair, marries the " - Wild Irish girl ;" and a Mrs. Com fort (Mrs. Orger)-L-Who "plays a very unintelligible part in the intrigues—espouses a certain Major Fuss (Har ley), whose business throughout the comedy appears to be to twirl his fingers, and fidget about the stage as if he had got St. Vitus's dance. The above is as cor rect an analysis of the plot as we can give ; but Ave honestly confess that there are portions of it Which . completely perplexed us. Tested, indeed, by his con structive faculty, Mr. Bourcicault must be pronounced sadly deficient as a comic dramatist; but his stnartness— his fancy---his power of ready repartee—his cordiality, of true Irish growth—and, above all, the fine play of his ani mal spirits,—these are the qualifications which he possesses in an eminent degree ; and in these are to be found the true secrets of his success. Whether right or wrong, he seldom fails to carry the audience along with him, who laugh, not at him, but with him. His language is uni formly neat and perspicuous, sometimes even approach ing to elegance ; and when it is sentimental, it has the rare merit of being so without an effort. As re gards the characters, Lord Daventry - bears a slight resemblance to Sir Peter Teazle ; and there is a little- of her Ladyship in his young wife ; but the imi tation is by no means servile. M rs . Co m f or t; like most of her class, is a tLere fashionable nonentity, and Major FuSs has his prototype in Marplot. The most original character is decidedty that - of the Irish girl, which Ma dame Vestris sustained nith great taste and spirit. The brogue was full of racy humour, soft and oily; and her mingled vivacity and deep tenderness equally charac teristic. Farren play gd the part of an elderly Benedi.ck to perfection. His drunken scene was Ldnirable, though too much spun out; and he had the shrewdness not to forget the gentleman in his cups. A few passages of - serious import he de livered with a grace and proktriety that show how strongly he entered into the spirit of the character as signed him by the author. It is seldom that art and nature play so adroitly into each others' hands—each assisting, not encumbering the other's movements--as in the performance of this very superior actor. Mrs. Orger played an insignificant part with consummate ease and self-possession,- and mentioned the fact of her having "paid five hundred pounds to lodge her pour clear departed husband in the family vault, which was a great relief to her feelings," with exceed- ing unction. — Her reminiscences, indeed, were rich throughout. We have spoken of Mr..Bourcicault's viva city and archness of dialogue. We will subjoin a few instances. Percy Ardent, having talked of going to a fashionable party in a cab, his companion replies, " What, go there with a surreptious straw bear ing King's evidence against you in your strap ?" Again Lord Daventry, remonstrating with hi s w if e f ur her objecting to his dress, and more particularly to his " vulgar indulgences of cloth" in his coat, and adding that he should not seem too fond of her in public, 11,- replies, "Is connubial affection, then,.cOnt ra b an d, and to be seized at Hyde Park-corner as illegal import ?" MiSs Merrion, speaking of the admirable qualities of an Irish horse, thus sums up her eulogiums To get upon its back is impracticable ; to keep your seat when you are on it, is impossible." We close our hasty and imperfect notice, by saying that the comedy is one which. when curtailed—for it greatly needs curtail ment—is likely to have a run, notwithstanding its im probabilities, which, fortunately are not of a very glaring character. The author has the true comic spirit, and greatly shall we be mistaken if he do not, ere long over top all contemporary writers in this department of litera ture. The scenery was throughout admirable, and the piece received with great applause. COURT CIRCULAR. W , NDSOR, Mownay.—Prince Albert, accompanied by Prince Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg, and the Princes Augustus and Leopold of Saxe Coburg, and attended by Colonel Wylde, enjoyed the spurt ofrabbit shooting at the Belvidere.

At the expense of five men killed and thirty wounded, our gallant troops in China have retaken Chusan, with its capital Chinghae and Ningpo. We have to deplore an insurrection in Cahoot, in which the gallant Sir Alexander Burnes, the British Envoy, Lieut. Burnes, his brother, Captains Swayne, Robinson, Codrington, Paton, and Spottiswoode, Major Thain, Lieutenants Raban and Rattray, and Ensigns Salisbury and Gordon, were all killed. There is a report that the Prince de Joinville proposes to visit England, to study the application . of steam to the navigation of line-of.battle ships. There was arumour that the Government proposed to confer on his Royal Highness the rank of Rear-Admiral. TI e hereditary Prince of Saxe Coburg, who was betrothed on the 28th of January last, to the Princess Alexandrine, eldest daughter of the Grand Duke of Bordeaux, is twenty three years of age, and his bride twenty-one. The King of Prussia arrived at the .

The Marquis of Normanby last night re-introduced his Bills for the Regulation of Buildings and the Improvement of Boroughs. Her Majesty's and Prince Albert's answers to their Lordships' Addresses were read. Lord Monteaje, in answer to the Duke of Wellington, ex. pained that his motion on the subject of Exchequer bills was not fixed for last night, but for the 17th. Having, given the notice before the Report of the Commissioners, his Lordship said it was not an answer to that Report. He stated, in contradiction to a rumour, that Mr. Percival was regularly appointed to sign Ex chequer bills. _ The Marquis of,Clanricarde referred to the late decision con. earning marriages by Dissenters in Ireland, and received from the Duke of Wellington the same assurance that Sir Robert Peel had given in the other House, namely, that a Bi'l would be immediately introduced to remedy the evil. Their Lordships adjourned. In the Commons, a considerable number of petitions were pre sented for the abolition of the Corn-laws. Dr. Bowring gave notice of a motion on the 17th, to continue inquiries respecting quarantine ; arld Mr. Sharman Crawford gave notice of a motion, after Easter, to extend the suffrage. The Attorney-General is to day to ask leave to bring in a Bill to save town councillors, who hold land under a municipal corporation, from being fined. Her Majesty's and Prince Albert's answers to the addresess were cad. In answer to Mr. Wortley, Sir James Graham stated that Minis ters intend to bring in a Bill to continue the Poor.law Commission, and a Bill prepared by Mr. Fox Maule, with some alterations, to regulate the hours of factory labour. In answer to Mr. O'Connell, who complained of informers being employed in Ireland, and so learning to swear away men's lives, Lord Eliot said the employment of such miscreants could not, he was afraid, be dispensed with. In reply to Mr. C. Buller, Sir R. Peel said there was no inten. ti9n to make any alteration in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and he hoped the two new Vice-Chancellors, who had already reduced the arrears lion:1'500 to 200, would assist the Privy Council. In reply to Mr. O'Connell, Sir Robert stated that the treaty with Texas had not been confirmed by the present Government. In reply to Mr. Fox Mauls., Sir Robert said he was not disposed to meddle with the Scotch Kirk. Sir H. Inglis informed Mr. Hawes, that he means to bring for. ward a motion this session for Church Extension. Mr. O'Connell announced his intention of bringing the condition of the Spanish Clergy before the House. Mr. Gladstone stated to Mr. Labouchere, that he should ex plain to-day what he proposes as to Colonial I)uties, but not imme- aiately ask an opinion of the House. Mr. Wallace moved to rescind the order of the House, which now operates to prevent discussion on the p - esentation of petitions, and, after a debate, in which Sir R. bp,. Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Brotherton, Mr. O'Connell, Sir Robert I eel, M Wakley, and Sir Walter James took part, the motion was r jetted hy 237 to 50. The Library Committee—after a few objec.ions by Mr. Williams, to the expense of publication—and some oth,r Com nittees, were appointed. • Ina Committee of the whole House, Mr Enurs).l Tennent moved certain resolutions relative to the Copyrights of Designs in order to lay the foundation of a Bill. The House adjourned at Half-past Seven. ZON. The Times makes mention of a pamphlet supposed to be written by General Cass, the American Minister at Paris, on the subject of the right of search, which pamphlet our Contemporary describes " as a shrewd performance, written with some spirit, and a very au. dacious unlairness of argument.'" The Herald hints a sort of gentle and qualified dissatisfaction with Ministers, observing " that the amendment of the Cotn.law is to be made the stalking horse—the cheval de bataille of the Session. The people sulfa', and all that Government proposes to do for the removal of that suffering is, it is anticipated, to increase the impor. tations of foreign corn!" The Post eulogizes the present Government in its most honied style, and expresses its opinion that the present Ministers would have amended the Corn-law, whether the question had been agi tated by the late Ministers or not. The Chronicle thus alludes to the promised Law Reforms by Mi nister. We can hardly be expected to admit that they,are better law-reformers than their predecessors, merely for promising what the latter promised, until we see that they excel them in perform. knee." Tat NEY-TFLAIDE-CODIZME DICE. A single Hastings boat, de day last week, caught, off Ply. mouth. 13,000 mackerel, which realised in the London market 1301. During the present month three important railway openings take place.

A cross at the present minute appears over the communion table, two or three feet in height: candles and candlesticks of the same height are on each side of it : the Minister's looks bear the cross, and many of the prayers and the Communion-service is addressed to wards the satne object. INTAATAI. AND MILITARY. The examination of candidates for admission as Gentlemen Cadets at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, took place yss terday. Law AZTD PO LICE. The claim of Mr. Carew of 19,0001. ontheexecutors of the Earl of Egtemont, resisted by them on the ground that there is no foundation for the allegation, and that the insolvent is indebted to the Earl's estate, after being further argued upon by Mr. Platt and Mr. Cooke, was again adjourned to Wednesday, the 16th of Match next. _ PORTING. The Royal staghounds hunted in Surrey on Saturday, when the favourite Scotch deer " Percy" led the run, followed by one hun dred sportsmen. On passing over the bridge near the Farnborough Railway station, it leapt the parapet, an d f a lli ng a d e pth o f nearly 100 feet broke its neck.
