Congratulatory addresses were agreed to by the inhabitants of Portsmouth and Gosport ; but upon application being made to the Queen for the purpose of learning when it would please her gracious Majesty to receive the same, an answer was re turned by the Hon.

THE VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO PORTSMOUT PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY EvEtstrta.—The first place in spected by his Royal Highness Prince Albert yesterday, who was accompanied by Duke Ferdinand, Prince Augustus, and Prince Leopold, (and not by the Duke of Wel lington, as was stated yesterday), was the block manu factory, where a ten-inch single block was taken in its rough state and perfected in a few minutes, in his presence. The next place visited was the anchor forge. where one of the arms was put to the shank of an anchor weighing four and a half tons, belonging to an 80. gun ship. This was effected in six minutes. The royal party next saw the copper rolled, and copper nails made, and afterwards went over the inside of the Prince Albert no•A on the stocks. His Royal Highness was then shown the other vessels that are being built. His Royal Highness re turned to the Admiral's house about six o'clock. A slight mishap occurred to the Duke of Wellington while on board the St. Vincent—a mishap which might have been. attended with very serious consequences to the illustrious General. His Grace, on going down the hatchway, missed his footing, but fortunately recovered himself when he had fallen but a couple of steps, sustaining only a trifling hurt on the knee. The banquet last evening was of the most sumptuous de.. scription, and a portion of it was, it is right to st&te, composed of numerous presents which had been made during the day by the tradesmen of the town. • " TO THE QUEEN'S mew EXCELLENT MAJESTY, " May it please your Majesty,—. " We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the Mayor, Clergy, and Inhabitants of the ancient borough of Porrtsmouth, in the county of Southampton, beg to be permitted to approach your Majesty to express the satisfaction which we experience that your Majesty should have been graciously pleased to honour this garrison and arsenal with your august presence. " In offering this our hearty welcome to your Majea•y on your arrival among us, we hope we may be further allowed to assure your Majesty of the deep interest we feel in your Majesty's happi ness and welfare, and of our affectionate attachment to your Royal person. . The illuminations were very general—almost every house, in fact, in the mai❑ thoroughfare, from the Point to Land port, a distance of about a mile and a half, being lighted up. Among the illuminations were numerous ingenious and elegant devices in variegated oil lamps and transparencies. The rain and wind that prevailed were a sad disappointment to a large number of those who had taken immense pains to emulate their neighbours in the splendour of their illuminations. The Common-hard, which those acquainted with Ports mouth will recollect fads the harbour, presented to the inhabitants of Gosport a very brilliant appearance, At ren o'clock the ships in the harbour were illumi nated, under the orders of the Lords of the Admiralty. The yards, mast-heads, rigging, and porti, were hung with white and blue lights, the. Sr. Vincent having the extremely bril liant long lights invented by Captain Stevens, of the Royal Marine Artillery. The effect was very grand, and her Nlajesty, who viewed the illumination from the Admiral's house, ex pressed herself much pleased with it, particularly noticing the splendid appearance of the long lights. Among the more conspicuous of the illuminations were those at the Governor's house, the Barracks, the Custom-house, the George Inn and the Star and Garter, the latter of which has been known for the last century as a naval house. The floating bridge was also illuminated, and the effect, as the bridge moved to and fro, was extremely novel and pleasing. Added to the attractions of the evening was a variety of fireworks let off from the Semaphore, different parts of the town, and the shipping. From the latter a considerable num ber of rockets were fired off.

Comprising NARRATIVES of the MOST REMARKABLE PER SONAL ENCOUNTERS, from the EARLIEST PE RIOD down to the PRESENT TIMES. Her Majesty retired at the usual hour (eleven o'clock) and rose shortly before seven this morning. Shortly after eight o'clock this morning, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by Duke Ferdinand, Prince Au gustus, and Prince Leopold, embarked at the Dockyard in the Admiralty barge, and crossing over to Gosport, spent some time in inspecting the victualling department. Her Majesty held a levee at half-past nine o'clock, and re ceived various of the naval officers belonging to the vessels lying in the harbour. At a few minutes before ten o'clock three of the Royal car riages drove into the Dockyard, and her Majesty and the Royal pity proceeded in them to the jetty, where the Black Eagle was lying in readiness to proceed with the illustrious visitors to the Queen, at Spithead. Her Majesty embarked on board the Black Eagle precisely at ten o'clock, a Royal salute of twenty-one guns being 'Aired from the Admiral's ship, St. Vincent. As her Majesty stepped into the steamer, the cheers of those who had been so fortunate, as to obtain orders of admission into the Dock-yard, were most enthusiastic.

Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street, Publisher in Ordinary to her Majesty. Her Majesty was accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Duke of gaze Coburg and his two sons Prince Augustus and Prince Leopold, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Liverpool, Lord Haddington, Count Schoenberg, Captain Zaitsch, Lady Portman, Hon. Mr. Anson, Hon. Sydney Her bert, Sir. George Cockburn, Sir Wm. Gage, Admiral :sir E. Codrington, and the three Misses Codrington, Col. Buckley, C o l. Wylde, Sir Hercules Pakenham, Captain Codrington, and nearly the whole of the distinguished dinner-guests at the Admiralty House last evening. Notwithstanding a thick drizzling rain fell at the time of her Majesty's embarkation, the distinguished party remained upon deck. Her Majesty occupied'a prominent seat upon deck, and was greeted with repeated bursts of most enthusiastic cheering from those who thronged the jetty and every available space skirting the harbour. The scene was rendered peculiarly interesting by the anxious care and solicitude with which the " hero of a hundred fights," in a spirit of devoted loyalty and attachment, protected his fair mistress from the inclemency of the weather by holding an umbrella above her. The splendid band of the Royal Marines struck up " Rule Britannia," as the Black Eagle, which was commanded by Commander Blowe, quitted the harbour for Spithead, and royal salutes were fired from the platform and Fort Monck ton. Astern of the steamer was the Admiralty barge, with the flag of the Lord High Admiral, Admiral Co trington's barge, and other barges bearing various Admirals' flags or having their pennants flying. ' Upon arriving off Spithead, the Royal party proceeded round the Queen, 110, Formidable, 84, and Alfred, 50, and, having fully viewed those fine vessels, the Black Eagle brought to. They afterward!: went on board the Queen, and remained in her upwards of an hour and a quarter. Upon her Majesty approaching Spithead the sides of the vessels were manned by the officers, and the yard-arms pre sented a gallant array of " hearts of oak." The Admiralty ship Alfred fired a royal salute, and the royal standard was struck in the Black Eagle and hoisted on boated the Queen. Her Majesty and the illustrious party were received by Ad miral Sir Edward Owen and Captain Rich, with the other officers, on hoard the Queen, and a splendid dejeuner a la fourchette was laid out upon the tables in the state cabin. 900 o ucted ever men oubo e u v r ez p an ar d t n will sail ooublseusuhdiapy, n w e h x lic' t hh f e o Yh r aw t s h ea e rbe A o l v ed ceo iterranean.

The distinguished visitors remained to see this proceeding carried out, when about a quarter to one o'clock the Royal party returned to the jetty of the Dockyard, at which time Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence and a number of fashionables were upon the King's stairs, and heartily greeted her Majesty. The Royal visitors having entered three carriages, imme diately drove up to the Admiralty House, where her Majesty and Prince Albert partook of a substantial luncheon. Previous to her Majesty's return from Spithead, the Mayor and Corporation of Portsmouth had arrived at the Dockyard in thirteen carriages, to present addresses to the Queen and Prince Albert. . _ At ten minutes to two o'clock, the four travelling carriages (drawn ried at b Portsmouthyof u yesterday r post-horses each),at noon, n drove which up thei nfront Royal par ty of Sir Edward Codrington's residence, and her Majesty and Prince Albert having taken a condescending and kind (indeed perhaps the proper term would be affectionate) leave of the Misses Cod rington and the Gallant Admiral, the royal cortege passed along the grand drive out of the Dockyard gates. Previous to this the troops of the garrison, under the command of Major Swinbourne, and the marine guard of honour, commanded by Captain Robert Ford, one of the oldest captains in the service, were formed, at 12 o'clock, at extended files, with an interval of four paces. The depot of the 19th foot commenced at the Dockyard-gates, next to which were stationed the 32d regiment and their recruits, and, on their left, the recruits of the Royal Alarines in suc cession, along the Ordnance -wall to the Quay-gate. From the Quay-gate to the High-street were stationed the recruits of the 34th Regiment, and the 73d and 34th Regiments ; from thence, along the High-street to the Landport-gate, where the hand of the 34th was stationed, and continued to play various favourite airs until her Maje,ty quitted Portsea. The guard of honour, consisting of the light companies of the 32d and 34th Regiments, and a company of the Royal Marines, with the band and Queen's colour of the 32d Regi ment, under the command of Major Swinbourne, were sta tioned within the Dockyard from the Adm ral's house to the yard-gatee ; and upon the Royal party quitting Sir Edward Codrington's residence the military formed in rear of the car e' rlaees, and followed them out of th e gates, along the gun- wharf, Lombard-street, thence up High -street and out of the Landport-gates. Immediately upon the illustrious visitors quitting the Admi ral's houie, the Royal standard was lowered, and the same ce remony was observed after her Majesty had passed through Landport-gate and the triumphal arches on her road to Brighton. The streets along which the Royal cortege passed were densely crowded with spectators—even more densely than on the previous day, and the tops and windows of the houses still displayed a profusion of banners and union jacks. Her Ma jesty and his Royal Highness were greeted with the most en thusiastic cheering. They acknowledged the loyalty of the de voted inhabitants of Portsmouth by repeatedly bowing. It may not be uninteresting to state that at the Royal Pa vilion at Brighton her Majesty expressed to Sir Edward Cod rinston a wi h that " some of her old shipmates" (alluding to the seamen who, while her Majesty and the Duchess of Kent ware staying at Norris Castle in 1831, were frequently en gaged in the Royal barge) should be empl oye d upon thi s oc casion.

Just before parting with Sir Edward this afternoon, her Majesty handed him 251., desiring that it might be distributing amongst the crew of the Royal barge. Her Majesty also gave the same amount to be divided among the rope-makers who escorted her into the town. Her Majesty and his Royal highness Prince Albert ap peared to have experienced considerable gratification at the visit, and remarked to Admiral Codringtin that they would shortly pay Portsmouth another visit. They both appeared to be in excellent spirits as they entered their carriage, and left for Brighton. BRIGHTON, TUESDAY EVENING. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY. A few minutes after seven the Royal party entered Brighton, escorted by a patty of the Scots Greys. On the entrance of the Royal cortege to Chichester an ac acasnlined by L or d m ac cident occurred to one of the postilions of the Royal suite which caused considerable alarm ; the leader on which he was riding stumbled and fell, and the poor fellow lay und er the horse's feet, but was soon extricated, when it wa s found t h a t his collar bone was broken, and that he had recei ved other i njuries.

DTJNCOMBE perforMed a great public service last night, by bringing under the notice of the House of Commons, and the country, the great annual increase of commitments and of crimes. For the sad, but interest.' ing.„ particulars we must, for brevity sake, refer to the Hon. Member's speech, adding, that it is most melan choly to see such it result of the great and increasing attention which has of late years been paid to the sub ject of criminal jurisdiction. Since BECCARIA. first published his celebrated work,. now we believe about seventy years since, the means of, repressing and preventing crimes_ by penal laws, has much occupied the attention of philosophers and states men. Prisons and prison discipline have been completely, reformed and remodelled several times, the sanguinary severity of the law has been in general abated, but it,. has been much more nicely adapted and proportioned, as is supposed, to offences. New contrivances, such as the silent system, and the solitary system, have been brought into use; and a new preventive plan, in the shape of a police, has been almost everywhere established or ex tended. The result of the investigations of philosophers, and of the reforms of statesmen, is that great and grow ing increase of criminals which Mr. DUNCOMBE brought under notice. Such an increase of criminality, though greater in England than in other countries, is common we believe to Europe. It is not as Mr. DUNCOMBE said, the con- , sequence of " want of education," for though education is, as yet, but little diffused, it is more diffused than it was 20, 30, or 50 years ago. From this general view of the subject, we regard Mr. DUNCOMBE'S motion for a Committee " to inquire into the rules . ; regulations, and discipline of the several gaols and houses of correction in England and Wales," &c., though well meant, as a very " lame and impotent conclusion," from the startling facts he has collected. No improvement in prison discipline, no uniformity in gaol regulations, no abolition, nor reten tion, of corporal punishments, can arrest the great and spreading plague. Before new laws and new regulations be devised, it is incumbent on the Legislature to institute a searching in vestigation, with all the helps which modern science can supply, into the nature of crime, the motives for commit ting criminal actions, and the means by which the mo tives can be altered or extinguished. In this branch of Government, as in others, men were compelled to act be fore they had acquired knowledge; and the principles em bodied in the first passion-born actions of our progenitors we still continue to make the guides and precedents of our conduct. TREY took vengeance for injuries, and on their anti-Christian and immoral proceeding WE have established and now maintain a long, dark array of criminal enactments. The present results should make us pause, and diligently overhaul the whole system of criminal law, sparing not but closely examining its original and deepest Foundations. It is a terrible - disgrace that le:. gislators should go on bungling in a wrong direction, year after year, always inflicting great and certain evil on society, in anticipation of good, and always learning, at the end of a few years, that their anticipations have been completely falsified. If 'prentice lads were to spoil one-tenth of the work (and that work the fine fabric of human society, with all the cotnplex and inter woven hopes and fears of man) which legislation annu ally mutilates and destroys, they would be whipped as incurable blunderers, unsafe to be trusted with the meanest tasks. Mr. DUNCOMBE'S motion was nega tived, for which, considering its inadequacy to the object which ought to be aimed at, we profess no regret. The debate, though it developed no large views, brought many important subjects connected with prison disci pline, particularly the corporal punishment still employed in prisons, under public notice. Government, according to Sir JAMES GRAHAM, who opposed the motion, is dili gently watching over the whole subject ; but if it con fine its attention to the details, merely with a view of making prison discipline uniform, it will go on like igno rant and unimproveable apprentices, merely spoiling good materials. At a meeting of the agriculturists of Essex, at Col chester, on Saturday, resolutions were adopted, declaring that the present Corn-laws have not given the agricul turists an undue protection, and that they are apprehen- , sive of great injury likely to result from the change. A Mr. BAWTREE, who moved the resolution, said— We must snake up our minds to endure a heavy sacrifice of our interest, and be content to derive less profits than we have hitherto done in our occupations. Iwni one of those who think that, the protection to the farmers by the existing law has not been greater than was due and proper-4 Cheers)—that we have not, considering the state of agriculture, the improve.. merits which are daily making, and the expensive system on which farming is now concluded, received more then a remune rating price. —( Cheers.) You are to have but Ms. or 58s. under the new measure, I s hould like to know what th e state of the farmers is likely to be ?—( Hear.) We cannot expect to have that profit that will enable us to uphold that character and to support that station which farmers for many years have beep privileged to hold. That is the echg of the Wm era: l anguage through. icd in Time for the AFTERNOON TRAINS Hour. N, at ONE CHARGE. out England ; but they acquiesce in the injury, and make a sacrifice to keep in of an Ad ninistration which has dubbed itself the farmers' friend. The poor agriculturists, instead of being fear less in the consciousness of rectitude, live in dread it' the manufacturers and the Whig-Radicals. To :scape from them they consent, though with much grumbling, to Sir R. I'EEL's demands. •Now it becomes a question of importance to all the talkers about vested interests, what compensation is to be given to the farmers and owners of that land which, now barely paying the expense of cultivation, must be given up, on the Tory theory, by Sir R. PEEL reducing the protection ? Are hose men to. be offered up at the shrine of • their bre thren's welfare ? How pleasant for the oat growers of Ireland, and the cultivators of the stony plains of Bucks, to be sacrificed to the men of Lincoln fen by Si: ROBERT, who throws them as it were to be devoured by the Whig-Radicals. This important effect of his scheme, inflicting that injury on a few farmers, which he and the landlords have described as the consequence of repealing the Corn-laws, and which is so well set forth by the Essex farmers, was very clearly pointed out to the House of Commons by Mr. VILLIERS, in his closing Speech on Thursday evening. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND PubUr Opinton. " IVho runs may read." 1 The treaty 0f , 1842 for the suppression of the Slave Trade forms the burden of the 'original columns of our Paris Contemporaries. There is the same violence dis played against M. Guizot as was evinced immediately after the discussion on the subject in the Chamber of Deputies, and the evident, indeed avowed, object of the writers, is to keep up suc h an exc i tement i n the country as shall compel M. Guizot either to retire' from office, or ileclare in the Camber that he will not, under any cir cumstances, ratify the treaty ; for either of these results would be a signal triumph for the Opposition. The Courrier Francais and the Siecle have articles en the proposed prorogation of the privilege of the Bank of Rouen, but they amount to little more than a recom mendation to the Chamber to adopt such measures as will at the same time secure to trade the facilities which it is the professed object of banking establishments to 4-ive, and protect the public at large a ga i ns t th e conse quences of speculation. There is, we believe, an almost general desire in the press for the extension of thebank ing system in France ; but the recollection of the suf ' i'ering caused by wild and unprincipled financial Ttems, sased upon an unlimited and unguaranteed issue of paper money, is too fresh for the public not to demand protec tion against mere schemers. The Quotidienne publishes the following extract of a letter from M. Tamariz, the Secretary of Don Carlos, with reference to the statement that intrigues are on moot between the refugee Carlists and the Christinos. M. Tamariz says--" Whatever may be the case, the King, my august master, declares that he is an entire stranger to them. His Majesty, being well convinced of the ,idelity and loyalty of his Generals, and certain that they will never do anything to affect the legitimate rights of his Majesty, which they have so valiantly and faithfully defended, does not hesitate to declare false the reports which have been propagated against them, with the intention of ensnaring the Spanish refugees." A Constantinople correspondent of the Augsburg Ga :ette says that England has offered to pay to the Porte the indemnity of 1,000,000 drachmas, demanded of Greece by the Ottoman Government, on condition of being allowed to subtract from that sum the remainder of the amount due for the expenses of the British forces in the late Syrian war. • The Porte is stated to have al ready pdid 20,0001 on account of 50,0001.,, which is the :otal due to England. We do not credit the rumours which we receive from the Porte through the German papers. . A sum of 30,000/. sterling was transmitted from Madrid on the 19th ult. to London on account of the indemnity bondholders. The Madrid Corresponsal of the 21st states that the Society of Weavers at Olot had given further proofs of their anarchical and revolutionary disposition. Bareelone and the entire province of Catalonia were in a state of the utmost excitement, in consequence of reports of an alliance between the Carlists and Christinos to cause a revolution in Spain. PARLIAMENTARY. Lord Campbell brought under the notice of the Lords last night three Bills for improving the Administration Of Justice. By the first he constitutes the House of Lords exclusively the last Court of Appeal for the whole Empire, and places the Lord Chancellor at its head. The second authorises the Sovereign to continue the functions of the Court, though the Legislature be prorogued ; the third Bill is to appoint oae of the . pre sent Vice-Chancellors to preside in Chancery, putting a top to the anomaly of making the Chief Judge of that Court a political officer, removable with every Adminis tration. The President of the House of Lords will be the removable Judge who is a Member of the Cabinet. The Noble Lord gave a short but luminous history of the appellate jurisdiction, and explained that his plan would put the country to no expense whatever. The Lord Chancellor informed their Lordships that the measure of last session for improving the Chancery Court had answered remarkably well, and he is not for further alteration. He believed that not one of his Noble Friend's Bills would be found worthy of their Lordship's support. Lord Cottenham approved of the principle of the Bills, but would oppose them till the recent experiment had been fairly tried. Lord Brougham, without giving any decided opinion till he had read the Bills, seemed inclined to think un favourably of them. They were read a first time. In the Commons, Mr. Stanfield's motion to choose the Chairman of Committees on Private Bills from the se lected Members was agreed to. In reply to Mr. Wallace, Sir R. Peel again repeated his determination to bring forward no Government bu siness till the resolutions on the Corn-laws had been re ported. In reply to Sir C. Napier, Sir R Peel stated that the Emir Beschir had been deposed, and had arrived at Constantinople. An officer, formerly in the Austrian service, had been appointed to govern Lebanon. The Gallant Officer was sorry to hear it. In reply to Mr. Shiel, Sir Robert Peel stated that the observation of the Earl of Aberdeen to M. Guizot was, " that he had nothing to say of the occupation of Algiers by the French then," not that "he had no objec tion to that occupation. Mr. T. DuncomThe moved for a Committee to inquire into Prison Discipline, and made an interesting and use ful speech. He ably exposed the cruelties that are in flicted on prisoners in the name of humanity. Sir James Graham opposed the motion, on the ground that at present the Government was engaged in a plan of prison.discipline, that its regulations were adopted in most of the gaols, and that the inspection was so com plete, and the reports so full, as to make inquiry by the House unnecessary. Lord Mahon, Lord J. Russell, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. O'Connell, and Mr. Wakley, took part in the debate, the two latter drawing attention to the inequality of punishments, and to the state of religious instruction in prisons. The motion was in the end negatived. The Government, by re fusing to accede to it, adds to the heavy responsibility which already rests on it. Another discussion, which was based on a non-exist ing despatch, and ended in nothing, except the instruc tion it may afford the public, took place concerning the Hill Coolies. Mr. Vernon Smith, as a peg to hang his remarks on, moved for a copy of_ the instructions given by the India Board to Lord Ellenborough on the subject, and then blamed, at some length, the Order in Council recently drawn up by Lord Stanley, to permit the im portation of Hill Coolies into the Mauritius. Lord Stanley defended his Order, and p o i n t e d ou t th e unfairness of 'Mr. Smith in only quoting a part of the despatches, and obtained plenty of cheers from the Tories. Mr. Hawes rather promised to expose the Noble Lord's scheme than effected anything. Mr. Hogg, from behind Lord Stanley, showed that the Noble Lord had slighted the Board of Directors, that his regulations would be wholly inoperative in India, that the exportation of Hill Coolies would revive a slave trade throughout India, and that the Noble Lord's conduct was hasty, inconsiderate, and quite inconsistent with the professions of his party, while he was in oppo sition. From a friend we never heard a Minister get a severer chastisement than Mr. Hogg gave Lord Stan ley.. The motion ended in nothing, but to convict the Government of weakness and folly in supposing that it can, by paper regulations, arrest the flood of cupidity it is willing to let loose in order to conciliate the monopo lists and jobbers to whom it is indebted for power. • , ) • Ari , -:. , Aft • ti t e PUBLICATIONS, TUE FIFTEENTH THOUSAND is already Published of Mr. COBDEN'S SPEECH in the !Twice of Commons on Thursday last.

Guizot, in the French Chambers :—" There can be for France, or the Orleans dynasty, no secure alliance but the English ; it is the most natural, the most desirable, and the most easily acquired. How long, then, will France reject that which may be so readily and profitably acquired 9 The real meaning of the word isolation', which France hugs killer bosom, is power to be mischievous. A great and patriotic statesman in France would remove all causes of isolation from England in a week." The Times, after contrasting the brutal and ferocious conduct of the Emperor Nicholas towards Poland, with the !more benificent policy of the King of Prussia towards the same country, goes on to say :—" Throughout Germany the visit of the King of Prussia to this country was looked upon as a marked demonstration adverso to Russia, and it was hailed with great enthusiasm in consequence. During that visit, if we are not misinformed, tho distinguished per sonages who attended on his Majesty made no secret of the annoy ance which his reception would give at St. Petersburgh. But it is not by such trines as these that political principles are disclosed the policy of the two countries towards 7 0 4 1 0. fa! !Ito NMI! No. 15,441.

In this edition the Author's modifications of treatment, and their successful results, are recorded to the present time. By JAMES YEAR SLEY, M. R. C. S., Author of " Contributions to Aural Surge , y," Etc. The Author cannot oondescend to notice the reiterated at. tacks upon his methods of treatment by the soi-flisant Pro fessors of Elocution further than to deniunce them as beneath contempt. These revilers believe it to be their interest to ascribe to him the monstrous absurdity of indiscriminately adopting an isolated surgical operation, whereas his treatment, medical, surgical, and educational (the last a five minutes' process) is varied agreeably to his novel classification of Stam mering into respiratory, guttural, lingual, labial, facial, arid choreal, which extensive experience, and close observation in many hundreds of cases, has confirmed, and which accounts for the ill success, or, at best, the mere temporary benefit, arising from educational processes alone.

The Chronicle, alluding to Sir R. Peers silence when Mr. Fer nind so fiercely attacked the manufacturers in the House of Corn mons, remarks :—" Sir Robert Peel, the leader of, the Tory party. the Prime Minister of Great Britain, had not a word to say of re straint or of rebuke. We refer to none of the feelings that would have acted upon some men's minds on such an occasion, making even the stammerer eloquent. We call up nb associations 10th his own family and fortune. We look only at his position in the House of Commons.' He is the Prime Minister of this nation, which is said to be losing trade with other nations, on account of gross fraud and dishonesty; and he Is mute. He suffers Judgment to go by default." The Post says of our commercial relations with Austria—.. If there is a European Government with which we may hope In future times to form compacts of commercial advantage, it is the Government of Austria; and the day is at hand when Prince Metternich will, no doubt, feel that the exorbitant duties on our manufactures is no more a source of riches to the State, than the ditch which separates the free ports from Hungary is a protection against the smuggler." NAVAL AND MILITARY. Sixteen ships, amounting to 10,091 tons, have been engaged by the Government for the conveyance of troops to China, and the average price to be paid is eight annas per ton per month. LAW AND POLICE. Th./ Yorkshire Lent Assizes *eminence to:day. A letter-carrier of the name of Nicholson was brought before the Ilow.street Magistrate yesterday, charged with stealing three letters containing money, and after a short examination, remanded till Thursday. At the same office, Isaac Hewitt, whose name, it appeared, was attached to the prospectus of a company for delivering printed papers, such as shop bills, circulars, &c., at stated prices, was fined 201. for tour offences of this kind. He admitted his error, but as the Post. office revenue might be defrauded to an indefinite extent by the practice, Mr. Peacock, the solicitor, urged the enforcement of the penalty. A singular case, that of Grant and Grant, came on for hearing in the Court of Bankruptcy yesterdai. The fiat had been issued 59 years ago, namely, in 1783. At different perimis the bank. rupts had paid 20s. in the pound, and there still remains a fund in Chancery more than sufficient to pay all the interest up to the pre. sent time. The whole of the debts amounted to 16,4551. Is. 3d.

HERALD.—The public are evidently becoming more favour. ably disposed towards investments in railway amlother shares,'sts evinced .by the greater demand for them, which Is experienced In the market, and the advance in prices corresponding. It Is quite clear that, without at all presuming to predicate the final proffiafile. ' ness of all the Industrial home enterprises afioat, there can be no mistake in assuming their superior solidity and preferableness for investment over almost any description of foreign speculation. SUN.—Some Improvement occurred in Stocks, owing to a large purchase or two. Consols closed at a rise to 89 11 4 % for Money. and 89i N for Account. Exchequer BillA were steady, and the heavy stocks had a fair sale. India Stock was lower upon the news from Affghanistan. In Foreign Securities very little business was done, and all weal flat except Mexican, which touched mi. Spanish weredull at 241, The market for Shares was brisker, and some of the Railways brought a higher value. For bills of exchange, tke rates, though still goqd, were barely so high as on Friday last.

There are about twenty prisoners for trial, and one of the cases, in volving a charge of manslaughter against a ci.derant pig. Jobber, for having doctored the wife of a respectable tradesman to death, under very singular circumstances, atttracts a good deal of interest. There are several other serious charges in the calendar. The cause list is not more heavy than usual, and the most important case, that of the Queen r. Webster, arising out of proceedings connected with the St. Alban's election, when the Earl of Listowel was the first time returned for that borough, is expected to occupy someconsiderable time. Both the Courts will proceed to business this morning at ten o'clock. Mr. Baron Alderson will sit on the Civil side, and Baron Gurney will preside in the Crown Court. CHARTIST MEETING. A. public meeting was held last• night, at the Feathers Tavern, Warren-street, Fitzroy-square, to take into considera tion the conduct of "that portion of the Press styling them selves Liberal, in giving inaccurate reports of the proceedings of public meetings of the working classes." Mr. Noon Es took the , Chair ; and having read the circular calling the meeting together, called on Mr. Fa liftAß to move the first resolution, who, in . doing so, said that a meeting had taken place at Camden-t Own, for the purpose of opposing the plan of her Majesty's Ministers with respect to the Corn-laws, and in the report of which in a Morning Paper it had been stated that Mr. Sidney Smith had proposed a resolution which was carried unanimously, and he (Mr. Farrar) declared that Mr. Sidney Smi:h was not pre sent at all during the meeting. He then went into various other statements concerning the reports of the paper in ques tion, as having misrepresented the reception of an amend ment proposed at the meeting by a Chartist, and concluded by propOsing a resolution, to the effect that that portion of the Press styling themselves Liberal are unworthy of the support of the public. '1 his resolution was seconded v Mr. GoonreLtow, and carried unanimously. Mr. WALL defended the Press, and contended that a more honourable class of persons did not exist than the reporters, and he felt that no other motive would actuate them than that of justice. 11 , 1 r. WADDINGTON then moved a resolution, to the effect that a committee should be formed for the purpose of watching the future conduct of that portion of the Press which had been before alluded to, and that the meeting pledged themselves to withhold their support from that portion of the Press. A committee was then formed, and a vote of thanks ]leaving been passed to the Chairman, the meeting separated. Qrula?N's THEATRE.—Mis. liallett, the author , of " Woman's Whims," " Nobody's at Home," &a., has produced a new vaudeville, which is now performing at this theatre with very excellent success, entitled The Timorous Gentleman. The incidents cleverly display the nervous irritability of an elderly per. soilage of the old school, Sir Aspen Tremour (Mr. Royer), whose habitual nervousness is fearfully increases! by his footman Robert (Mr. Renaud), and a Captain Beßain (Mr. Reeves), with intent to facilitate the object of the latter for eloping with Sir Aspen's niece, Melliora (Miss Brookes). It is a very attractive little piece, and bids fair to stand on the stock.list ofi theatrical interludes. DESTRUCTIVE FutE.—Last night, a little before 11 o'clock, an alarming fire brOke out in the premises situate in Tudor.street, Blackfriars, occupied conjointly by Mr. Davidson, printer, Mr. Hodson, printer and publisher, Mr. Hare l 'Dealt*. ruler, Mr. Priest, auctioneer and broker, and a manufacturer of India-rubber and ledger-backs. The fire was first discovered en the premises occupied by Mr. Hare. The Farringdon engine was quickly on the spot, and other engines of the Brigade Bata. blishment and West of England office. Mr. Priest's vast and value. ble stock of elegant ffirniture is entirely consumed. Mr. Davidson's family were out of town, btit the families of the other two gen. tlemen were in bed, all of whom, we are happy to say, effected their escape in safety. The amount of property consumed Is very great, but whether the whole, or any part, is Insured, could not be learned. Dir. - Davidson had some extensive works on hand, amongst which was a complete copy of " Dibdie's Songs," the whole of which is destroyed, beside a great quan tity of stereotype plates of different works, as well as music. By one o'clock the fire was almost wholly got under. A correspondent who writes from Ripon, complains that Mr. Roebuck should have deserted his post nit s hout a pair, when the division on Mr. Villier's motion took plat, and gone down to attend the Bradford Sessions. MESSRS. RIDGE'S BANKRUPTCY.—The whole of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, we observe by the Brighton Guar. dian, was occupied by Mr. Missing, and two other Commiadonera, in examining the bankruptcy accounts of the Messrs. Ridge, at the Dolphin Inn, Chichester, but the manner in which these had been kept were so incorrect, that nothing satisfactory could be arrived at. Mr. Missing finally expressed himsi if grieved at the conduct of the bankrupts towards their creditors, and admonished them to lay aside alt fictitious accounts, and produce a fair and faithful tut. lance-sheet. For this purpose, as the affairs were intricate, the Chairman gave them the longest possible 'motet tio.l for preparing it, viz. three months. WOMEN AND TILE CORN-LAWS.—The women's me morial for the abolition of the Corn-laws had already received 210,000 signatures--namely, in Edinburgh. 30,000; in Sontbarnp ton, 3,000 ; in Leicester, 17,000 ; -in Bolton, 22,0001 in Man chester, 81,000; in Warrin g ton, 6,400 ; in Stockport, 8 , 000 ; in Acrington, 3,000 ; i n kipt on , 4,000 ; i n Southport, 1,7 00 ; in Rochdale, 6,000, & c . ; an d th ere were numbers of other places continually sending up signatures, or sending o ut "nva: r es`: The work was not yet done.
