Mr. Tvl‘Cititmen has just published a small pamphlet, entitled " Memorandums on the Proposed Importation of Foreign Beet and Live Stock," for the purpose of allaying the fears of the Galloway graziers, and con vincing the public in general that the expectations of the manufacturing and commercial classes, in respect to the benefits to be derived from the relaxation or total aboli tion of the existing restraints, are vision try and un founded. This startling assertion will, no doubt, afford great consolation to all those agriculturists eho place implicit euntidence in the prophecies of political econo mists, but we fear there will be many unbe lievers. In confirmation of this opinion he endeavours to show that beef cannot be imported from Ham place on the Conti ne nt where any burgh (the only considerable supply can be obtained) for less than 7d. per lb., which is rather above the average cost of beef in London; that no cattle can he expected from Prussia, Belgium, Holland, or France, as the imports of cattle to these countries exceed the exports; and that were 100,000 head of cattle imported into this country an nually, which he regards as an extravagant and ab surd supposition, it would not amount to one thirteenth part of the supply, and, therefore, could not have any sensible influence on prices. Nay, we are to infer that it would have a contrary effect, gni serious apprehensions may be entertained that were even four times that amount imported, the prices might increase. This, however, is not mere assertion, for it rests on the solid foundation of experience and analogy. " In 1826, for example," says the author, "we imported about 57,000 head of cattle from Ireland into Great Britain ; but in consequence of the increased facilities given to importation, Ireland now supplies us with about 180,000 head of cattle, or between three or four times as many as we imported from her sixteen years ago ! But will any one say that the price of cattle in Great Britain has fallen in consequence of this immensd increase of importation, or that it is less now than in 1826 ? On the contrary, every body knows that it has increased." ThiS is glorious news for the farmers, who ought to thank Sir ROBERT PEEL for his kind exertions in their behalf, and get up petitions, not for the tariff as it-sten:is, but for the free importation of beef and live - :stock. The farmers foolishly imagined that the un grateiul Minister had thrown them overboard, while he , was consulting political economists for their good. and laying the best foundation for their future pro.-perity. Notwithstanding the high authority of the - writer, we are sceptical on these points, and inclined to bekeve that cattle will be reared abroad for the English market, and that beef which is sold at ILunburgh for, 4d. per lb., including the octroi duty, - while it costs in London Bd., will be imported at somewhat less than 7d. per lb., the price fixed by Mr, M'Ci'LLocx. We advise all the unbelievers, however, to , buy the pamphlet, and judge for them selves. The Madri4 Journals of the 18th instant announce that at no former period was France wore unpopular in the Spanish capital. The conduct of M. PAGEOT, the French Charge d'Affaires, who has just completed a tour of the European Courts, to influence the marriage of the young QUEEN, was very severely censured in the Spanish Senate by M. MARLIANI. What will most an noy France is the indifference with which her intrigues are treated by the Spanish Cabinet. The REGENT laughs at the pretensions of the French Government to dispose of the hand of the SOVEREIGN of Spain. The Captain-General and deputations of officers of the gar rison and National Guards had waited on the Infant Don Fran cisco de Paulo. The Thi ee per Cents. were done on the 18th at 22% for cash, and 23 at sixty days ; the Five per Cents. at 27 1 / for cash, and 2ei at sixty days ; and the debt bearing no interest at 6* at sixty dais. One of the most amusing, and not the least instructive essays in the " Spectator," is that which recounts the ex amination before Judge RHADAMANTHUN in the infernal regions, of .an old woman who, in answer to the question, What had she been doing while on earth," admitted that she was so occupied in rebuking and retailing the vices of a parcel of flirts that she had never any time to think about her own affairs. Rarely have we an opportunity of opening the French Jour nals without being reminded of the defence of this old woman. France is an impersonation of her. So occupied is she on all occasions with watching the flirta tions of other States that she can hardly devote a moment to the vital concerns of her own people. No neighbour can make a pie, but she must have a voice in suggesting the ingredients, or in some way or other insert a finger in it. 'Last week she was all for regulating the diplomacy of England and the United States—this week she is woriying herself to death about the marriage of the young Queen of SPAIN, who is yet but a child of • eleven years of age. She will now forego the project of marrying the young QUEEN to a son of LOUIS PHILIPPE, but nothing will do for her but a BOURBON. The intermarriages of this family have already produced more than enough of idiotcy and im morality to revolt Europe. No one can wade through the matrimonial connexions of the Neapolitan and Spanish branches of the House of BounnoN, with out being shocked at the bare recital of so many in cestuous alliances. No Royal line in the world is more contemptible, and has produced a greater number of Royal idiots and scoundrels than the liue of BOURBON. As for the reputed father of tlm young Queen of SPAIN, FERDINAND VII., he was more an H i e or a baboon than a man.' But if France must have a BOURBON husband for the young Queen, what would Louis PHILIPPE say to an alliance with the ) oung Luke of BORDEAUX ? We are certain that such a proposal would be cordially supported by the Emperor of RUSSIA. HENRY V., as the French Royalists style him, would have no objection to open the campaign again t the Muse of ORLE.kxs by constituting Madrid his head-,lcarters. _ _ The Courrier Francais states that the Government are about to despatch the steam-frigate Gomer from Rochefort for the West Indies, being the first of the French trans-Atlantic steamers which are to compete with the English company. Three Commissioners, under the direction of M. Saladin, In spector of the Finance Department, are to proceed with this vessel, fur the purpose of organising the packet service through out the West India Islands, and the Spanish Main. The Com missioners will proceed first to Port Royal, Martinique, which is fixed on for the principal station. It is expected that on the return of the Gomer the other steam-boats will be ready, cud that the trans-Atlantic communications will proceed regu larly and without. interruption. The Courrier de Lyons, the journal of the. Prefecture, has the following article : •• A letter from Turin, after giving some particulars of the fetes in the capital of Piedmont, on the occasion of the mar riage of the presumptive 'heir to the throne, adds— •• Thu Marquis of Dalmatia, the French Ambassador, set off on the very day that the new married couple made their entry. He had offered, in the name of the King of the French, to give a fete in their honour, which was flatly refused. The Sardinian nobility in general appeared to be pleased with this :proceeding.' •• Though the letter from which we quote the passage comes from a person worthy of credit, we are disposed to doubt the fact whsch he mentions. We must soon know the truth', both with respect to this fact and to the departure of the Marquis of Dalmatia." ---- TheAitoinette brig, Captain Rozet, which left St. Louis, 'in Senegal, on the 20th of February, brings news up to that , uate from that colony. These, accounts folly confirm all the )receding. The Governor was waiting for orders of the 1111• ulster to open the trade, and the traders were still uncertain respecting the manner in which the trade would be carried on. At all events, it was certain that no gum would come down for along time. News had been received that the inundation at the begin n i ng o f t h e }ear ha d exten d e d to t h e gum p l antations. A letter o f t h e 1 8t h F e b ruary says: —" O ur a ff airs w i th the River seem to be in a very precarious state. The tribe of the Trazas first of all carried of a drove son oxen belonging to us, then killed a trader at Salem, :and plundered one of our vessels. The Governor has written - .to Ihe Chiefs, th at i f they did not immediately give up the guilty persons war would be declared.

Archangel state that a movement has taken place in the market for flax, principally, however, for specula tion. The chief consumption for the article in this country is in the north, and any considerable rise in price would materially injure the trade there, were it not for the increasing use of a kind of hemp produced in the East Indies, which is becoming daily snore into favor as a substitute for the foreign production. This has had the effect of obliging the Russians to ship here on their awn account, in consequence of the absence of orders, and it is gratifying to observe, by each successive arrival from India, that exertions are making to improve the quality of the various articles of native growth, so that in the course of a short period the whole supply tecessary for the use of this country will be drawn from thence. The balance of trade is too much in favour of Russia, not to render it advisable to take every measure of reducing it to s ome thi ng lik e :inequality ; and if the efforts now going on in various of our colonies be pro perly encouraged, this object will be speedily attained. It has already succeeded in linseed, and is now partially doing so in hemp and flax, as well as in hides, the chief articles except tallow, timber, and iron, for which we are at present dependent on that kingdom.

Humann, the French Minister of Finance, die?l, on Monday, at noon, of an attack of apoplexy. One of his chiefs of division had just left him in his cabinet, and he was in the act of affixing his signature to a number of official papers, when he was struck with death. Medical aid was instantly procured, but all efforts to restore animation proved fruitless. The French Funds were at first depressed on this melancholy event being announced, but they recovered towards the close of business. The funeral of Marshal Moncey took place on Monday in the Church of the Invalides. Six battalions of infantry, and de tachments of cavalry and artillery, were in attendance. M. Benin de Vaux, Peer of France, and one of the pro prietors of the Journal des Debats, died in Paris, on Subday, in the 71st year of his age. " Marshal Oudir.ot," says the Constitutionnel, "is spoken of as the successor of Marshal Moncey, as Governor of the Invalides. Marshal Gerard will resume the office of Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, and Marshal Molitor will replace Marshal Gerard in the command of the National Gua d cf Paris." The Commerce says—" The deaths of Marshals Moncey and Clauzel reduce the number of officers of this high rank to seven; viz., Soult, aged 72, Ouchnot 74, Molitor 74, Gerard 70, Grouchy 76, Valee 69, Sebastiani 68. According to the tiew law regulating the staff of the army, the number of Mar shals is henceforth in time of peace to be limitel to six, conse quently all the reports as to the promotions of Marshals in the loom of the deceased are, to say the least, premature." It appears from a° recent return to the Minister of Marine, that from October 1841 to January 1842, 452 neero slaves have been emancipated in the French colonies of Martinique, Guadaloupe, Guyana, and Bourbon. The total number of emancipated since 1t430 is 38,959. _ The Malta Times has a circular by Mr. Warrington the British Consul at Tripoli, dated March 26th, addressed to the different chiefs of the interior and northern coast of Africa, re presenting to them the folly as well as cruelty of the slave trade, and advising them to substitute for it an active trade in the natural resources of Africa, such as gold dust, ivory, Ost rich feathers, gum, skins, indigo, &c. This circular has been translated into Arabic, and profusely distributed. Mutuch Pacha, the Admiral of the Egyptian squadron, died a few days ago. It is thought that Said Pacha, Mehemet Ali's son, will be his successor. The plague continues its ravages at Damietta ; but there have been but two cases in town, and ten in the harem of his Highness, which leaves now twenty-six men, including eunuchs and imauns, and forty-seven women in the palace. The French corvette, Diligente, is expected here in a few days to relieve the Cornaline, which will then proceed to Athens. PILIZLICA.IVIENTAny. In the Peers, the Earl of Winchilsea gave notice that he would present a petition against the tariff, and Lord Brougham postponed presenting the complete suffrage petition till Friday, and then their Lordships adjourned. In the Commons, on the motion of Mr. Divett, the Speaker was ordered to issue his warrant to a gaoler to bring up some prisoners in his custody, required to be examined by the Lich field Election Committee. Mr. Redington, from the Southampton Election Committee, reported that Mr. Fleming, M.P. for Hants, had refused to an►wer questions put to him by the Committee. From his place Mr. Fleming stated that he refused from motives of deli cacy and gentlemanly feeling; but after a debate he was or dered by the House to attend the Committee, and the Com mittee must decide whether the questions should be answered or not. On the motion of Mr. Pakington, Mr. Lucas, who had been committed to Newgate for bearing false testimony, was ordered to be discharged. His sister and the Surgeon of Newgate at tended at the bar, and deposed to his being in a strong state of nervous excitement. In answer to Mr. O'Connell, Sir Robert Peel stated that he believed the treaties between this country and Texas, an anti slave trade-treaty, and a commercial treaty, would soon be ratified. The Right Hon. Gentleman also stated that our Envoy at Mexico had been the instrument of conveying General Hamilton's insulting letter to General Santa Anna, but had been quite ignorant of its contents. Mr. O'Connell moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the spiritual provision for Catholic soldiers serving in India, and made a speech, which Sir H. Hardinge described as temperate, to explain how ill the soldiers were treated. After a brief explanation by Mr. Bingham Baring, the Secretary of the Board of Control, and Sir Henry Hardinge, Mr. O'Connell withdrew his motion. Mr. Elphinstone moved a resolution, pledging the House to resolve itself into a Committee on a future day, with a view to impose a probate and legacy duty on succession to real estates. This was a resolution there was not the smallest hope of carrying. The landlords possess the power of legislation, and they will use it, as they always have used it, to exempt themselves from taxes, and to make ether men pay them. Accordingly the motion was lost on a division of 77 to 221. Col. Fox's motion for papers relative to the emigration of the Dutch Boers from the Cape of Good Hope to Port Natal was agreed to. Mr. Burroughes, in moving for a copy of a letter from Col. Okes, Chief Constable of the Police of Norfolk, explained the case of the man improperly arrested, which Mr. Duncornbe brought under the notice of the House a month ago. Leave was obtained to bring in a Model Prison Bill. The Copyright Bill was read a third time, after Mr. Hume had protested against it. The House adjourned at a Quarter past Twelve o'Clock. PUBLIC OPINION. The Chronicle says—" The disclosures before election committees have naturally infused strong suspicions into the public mind, both with regard to the almost universal preva.• lence of corruption, and the disposition to screen it. The re.. fusal on the part of Mr. Fleming to answer a plain question put to him, will lead to the inference that some important purpose was to be served by that refusal. At a time like this, when three millions of petitioners are complaining of the pre sent state of the representation, and claiming universal suffrage, it becomes a matter of the utmost importance that the House should take no inconsiderate step. What may be behind Mr. Fleming's refusal, we pretend not to say. It may be that he has foolishly attached importance to what really is of very little importance. It may be that the rumours afloat on the subject, and to which Mr. Fleming's strange conduct has given im portance, may be utterly destitute of any foundation. But the simplest and most straightforward mode of proceeding in such cases is always the best. No man knows this better than the Duke of Wellington, who is in no small degree indebted for the great influence he has always possessed over the minds of those with whom he has acted, to the singleness of purpose and di rectness observable in all his actions. Where there is nothing to conceal, there ought to be no mystery." The Herald thus justly and forcibly alludes to some of the defects of the Income-tax:—" The House of Commons had scarcely entered on the business details of the Income-tax Bill on Monday night, ere a few of the difficulties of levying a tax of three per cent. on income equitably became most apparent. The conduct of the Bill through Committee was assumed by Mr. Goulburn, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and, to write the truth, with such indifferent success, that, had not Sir Robert Peel interposed, his colleague would have terminated the even ing's discussion by provoking unnecessary hostility against a measure already sufficiently well hated for its merit s as well as special demerits. It is Mr. Goulburn's general misfortune hat he does not increase the popularity of the measure which lie supports ; but on Monday evening he failed to render his defence of the parts of the Bill discu!scd reasonable, and seemed afraid of involving the Government in a scrape by even pro mising attention to an objection the force of which was felt by every one in the House—the Premier included—save himself and Sir George Clerk. When any Ministers endeavour to avoid remedying what amounts to a patent defect, which Will, if adopted, work shameful injustice, by vague exposition & o f the " principle" of the measur e itself, arid by foolishly-exag gerated illustrations of how a remedy may possibly in One ase out of ten thousand defraud the revenue, the public May rely on it that the defect c o mpl a i ne d o f i s utter l y d ele ncelels." We take the following from the Ti mes :—" D ur i ng the plre sent unsettled state of things, all trade is inevitably suspended. No tradesman can give orders till it is ascertained on wbat terms his business is to be carried on for the future. And the effects of this paralysis, added to the ruinous torpor which it alreadybeginning to bear its fruit in discontent and riot through out. the country, are a sad reality from which gentlemen of lthe House of Commons might learn to forbear their long speeches, 'ex cept to make a firm protest, once for all, against what they may deem actual injustice, or to move practical amendingrit which they really have some hope may be adopted. Of thi tatter character were two speeches by Mr. Ricardo and Wood, the one relating to the much•debated questioi terminable annuities ; the other contending, as it seems tolui with much justice, against the unfairness of not allovrink person engaged in different occupations, when returning 'his , axable income, to deduct his losses in one branch of commerce from his gains in another. It is strange, but true, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated the principle of the Bill b t , Le, that losses sustained under th e same sc h e d u l e m i g h t, los.ies sustained under different schedules might not be so off. We must say that any distinction so utterly unworth] a sound statesman we have seldom heard." The Post contains the following observations :—" It has been without an object that our Whigs and educationalists has, sought to array the mass of the people against authority its forms. No; our Liberal' Reformers have had in vie, certain ends—political and social—to the attainment of whicl popular education' has been regarded as the most effeciv means. These ends are, the subversion of monarchical *ni aristocratical authority—the overthrow of the Establisher Church, and of the authrity which naturally attaches to sych an institution—the abasement of agricultural industry—the i.dvancement of trade and manufactures—and, in fine, the transference to money-capital of all that mass of power which is now shared by the Monarch, by the nobility, by the hrer erchy, and by the owners and occupiers of the soil. In order to attain these ends, the Educationalists of our time have ad dressed the basest flatteries to the working classes, while they have subjected the aristocratical orders to the most rancorous calumnies. In their actual legislation for themorking classes, our Liberals' have exhibited a degree of cruelty that hanno nises well with the falsehood of their general professions." LAW AND POLICE. At Bow-street, yesterday, Suisse, valet to the late Mariplis of Hertford, underwent another examination on the charge of embezzling 8,0001., ithe property of his master, and was *re manded for a fortnight. At Lambeth-street, John Broughton, Robert Bird, Jc4oph Linscott, and Thomas Trotman, constables in the H division of police, were sentenced to two months imprisonment with hard labour, for stealing wine and brandy from the London Docks, while on duty there.

The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day. JUDGMENT.--PASCALL V. SCOTT. _ The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case which was argued a few days since before the Court, upon an appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England. The only question in the case was, as to whether certain depositions taken in the cross cause, the matters on which related only to the original cause, should be suppressed or not. The Vice-Chancellor of England was clearly of opinion that the depositions ought to be suppressed, and gave judgment accordingly ; and from that decision the present appeal was brought. His Lordship, after going at some length into the facts of the case, and the circumstances under Which the depo sitions were taken, stated his opinion to be, that the judgment in the Court below was correct, and ordered it to be affirmed with costs. THE ATTORNEY.GFNERAL V. THE CORPORATION OF LUDLOW. Mr. WRAY resumed his arguments in this a:weal petition, following Sir Charles Wetherall. The case came before the Court on Saturday, upon a petition to discharge an eider pro nounced by the Vice-Chancell,r, by which he confirmed the Report of the Darter, approving of the exchange of certain charity lands for lands belonging to the Corporation of Ludlow. The arguments had not concluded when our Evening Edition went to press. ROLL S' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) STRICKLAND V. STRICKLAND. Mr. K indersly for the defendant resumed tu• day at the sit ting of the Court. The arguments were proceeding when we went to press. VICE-CHANCERY-(TI-11S DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND. ) His Howou it, the Vice-Chancellor of England, was engaged the whole moiling with hearing cause petitions of no general interest. (Before Vice-Chancellor Wtattast.) IiARNEY V. BOUSFIRLD. His HONOUR, in giving judgment in this case, said the question which he had reserved for decision was ptv-ely'a ques tion of fact. The plaintiff in the case alleged that he had advanced a sum of money to his son, in order to enable him to complete the purchase of an estate, of which the principal de fendant was a n,ortgagee ; and that he made that advance upon terms of its being secured upon the estate in preference to the mortgage of Wood, who was a second mortgagee of the estate. His intention, when he reserved his judgment upon this point, was, that in case he should doubt the testimony of the witnesses he would give Wood the benefit of an is •ue, to try whether the money had been advanced without any stipulations. Upon looking over the evidence, he saw no reason to doubt that the father had stipulated for the security. He must therefore make his decree in this case in favour of the plaintiff. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The Court waQ engaged the whole morning in hearing argu ments in cases in the Crown Paper, none of which were of any public interest. The greater number of them were cases of disputed settlements of paupers. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) Lord Abinger took his seat on the bench this morning, for the first time during lite present term. JONES V. GOODY. This was an action of trespass tried before Chief Justice Tindal, at the last assizes for the county of Suffolk. The verdict was for the p'aintiff, with 5/., the cost of the suit, subject to the opinion of the Court in the case. The defendant was one of the Commissioners of cleansing and paving for the borough of Sudbury. In pur suance of an order from some of his colleagues, communicated to him through the clerk, he proceeded to widen a drain in the suburbs of the borough ; and in doing so, he cut off part of a field, the property of the plaintiff. This was the ground of the action which the plaintiff brought. The main question in dis pute was, whether the defendant could plead, in his defence, the statute which protects a public officer, who. while he has mistaken his duty, has acted, as he imagines, in the discharge of his office. Mr. KELLY contended that the defendant could not plead the statute, on the ground that he had not been legally em powered to act at all on the occasion, inasmuch as he had not received an order from five of the Commissioners in the first instance, as the law required. The Learned Gentleman fur ther contended, that a tender of 101. which had been made to the plaintiff, on condition that he stayed the action, should be paid into Court. The COURT was of opinion that the defendant was protected by the statute, inasmuch as he was a public officer, and as he had reason to believe that he was only acting in the discharge of his duty. The Learned Judges did not think that the tenier of le/. should be paid into Court, as the plaintiff had refused it, and had preferred to bring the action. COMMON PLEAS.--(THIS DAY.) CALLENDER V. DITRICH. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an English merchant, againtt the defendant, a Prussian merchant, for the sum of 700/.' 10s., which he had paid him on a contract that the defendant should supply him with a cargo of Prussian tares, in good condition and well shipped. On their arrival here from Konigsberg, they were; found to be in bad condition, and to have not been carefully shipped. Upon this plaintiff brought his action in Konigsbell, for, breach of contract, and the Prussian Court decided against his claim, on the ground that he had brought it too late. Plaintiff and defendant being both residents in London, the plaintiff brought a new ac ti on , which was tried in thi s Court at the sittings in London. when a verdict was taken for the plaintiff, subject to the decision of the Court as to how far, in the peculiar circumstances, the Prussian judgment excluded this Court. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS accordingly obtained a rule nisi to enter a verdict for the defendant. Against this rule Mr. Sergeant CMANNELL showed cause, and was speaking when we went to press. - - --- INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DA Y.) Fourteen town bail cases, and a like number of country bail cases were upon the list for hearing in Court this morning, the greater part of which were got through without oppo sition. None of them presented the slightest point of general interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, BOW•STREET._(THIS DAY.) A big stout woman, with a baby in her arms, was charged with the following assault : " Gentlemen," said the prosecutrix, a buxom little widow who still wore the sombre weeds in recollection of the departed one, " she cum to me place, she interrupted me lodgers, and used bad language all she could ; I begged and prayed of her to go . out, howsomdever stead of, she makes no more ado, but drags me into the kennel by the hair of the head and ill uses me." William Neale deposed, " I was in my landlady's place, ahe cum in and abuses a lodger of my landlady's, my landlady orders her away from the door; says she, I shan't go. • wanted to put her away, but she shoves past me, while she cotched hold of my landlady by the hair of the head ; I then any landlady, w hi c h s h e bi t my han d , and got her away from a goin to the station-house she threatened as she'd get me done for by some pals o' hers out o' the Di a l s , w hi c h s h e l ives t h ere, gentlemen. ' - The prisoner, who spoke in a rapid tone of voice, and who was evidently a most powerful virago, said that she went to see the father of her babby, who lived in the complainant's house. The complainant struck her fir s t. Complainant denied this allegation. TwyFonn (to complainant) —What do you wish me to d.) with this prisoner? Complainant —Why, gentlemen, I don't want her to come near me no more. There's me cap that went into the kennel, and likewise myst If. Mr. Tw YFORD—WeII, I must convict her at once. The prisoner was ordered to pay a fine of 10s. to the Queen, or go to prison for seven days. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. (THIS DAY.) Samuel IVilks, alias '° Flash Sam," was placed at the bar on the following charge :—Police sergeant, No. 16, of the C di , I vision, stated that the prisoner had for a considerable time is been known to the police as a suspected character ; he was in the habit of nightly prowling about the Haymarket, at times driving a cab, as a " Luck, ' when the hem , ed driver was either too drunk or indolent to do so. On such occasions he sometimes was hired by " a gentleman overtaken in liquor." !s About three o'clock this morning witness saw the prisoner with is another " buck.' endeavouring to irduce an individual whose dress and appearance bespoke respectability, but who was ex tremely intoxicated, to enter a cab, the prisoner offering to s , drive the gentleman safely home. Witness seeing that the a party had a diamond brooch-pin, finger-ring, and a splendid watch and guard-chain about him, interfered and sent a pulice• constable home Kith the gentleman to his reAdence at the west-end of the town, and it appears that be hail , between 2001. and 3001. in his pockets, in Bank of t England notes and sovereigns. So totally unconscious was he of what he was doing that he pressed wit,ess to accept At his watch, as a reward for his taking care of him. On the pri soner finding his object of plunder defeated, he abused wit. it ness in a very gross manner, and made use of obscene lan ce guag-e, which, on being conveyed to the station-house, he re tll peated. The prisoner said the gentleman was a school-fellow of his, and the police had no right to interfere. His " friend had , e stood six bottles of sherry since half-past one o'clock," and why i d shouldn't they be comfortable together? id r. HAanwicx said that he would never allow the use of obscene langual/e in the public streets to pass unpunished sshile he had the power to do so. He should therefore fine the prisoner 405., and, in default of payment, commit him for one month. The prisoner not having the amount of the fine, , was locked up • • woRsHiP-STREET—(TIIS DAY.) UNFOUNDED CHARGE.-Mr. William Henry Goodwin, a tobacconist, carrying on business in Red Lion -street, Clerken well, was placed at the bar upon a charge of having stolen a ring, value 155., the property of Mr. Wells, landlord of The Princ. of VV ales public-house, Banner-street, St. Luke's. It appeared that the parties had been drinking together at different public houses until they both became intoxicated, and they were about to take leave of each other when the com plainant missed the ring off his finger, and charged the de fendant with having stolen it, and, notwithstanding his protes tation to the contrary, he gave him into custody. The ring was found in the road some time afterwards, by a sergeant of the G division. The defendant complained bitterly of the scandalous manner in which he had been treated by the complainant, with whom .1 he had been some time intimate, and who was well aware that he was incapable of such an action. Mr. BROUGHTON immediately dismissed the charge, and advised the defend ant to commence an action against his ac cuser for false imprisonment. NATIONAL CONVENTION. (THIS DAY.) The Convention met this morning at nine o'clock. Mr. DUNCAN took the chair. Several h'tters were teal from different parts of the country, expressive of confidence in the Convention. was proposed t o draw up an addr e3s t o t h e working sou k r in e gc l lo tmn sies, advising them to desist from any outbreak. Mr. BEESLEY thought that the people ought, in the p resen t distress, to be left to their own discretion. They had been addressed too often, for they found that no good resulted. I he resolution was however carried by a large majority. The Convention adjourned till to-morrow. - - A letter from I3oulogne, in the Gautte de Flandre, states.that an English medical man, named O'Reilly, residing in that town, has abjured the Protestant religion, and become a Roman Catholic. The Card:nal Bishop of Arras administered the sacrament of baptism to him in public, and received his profession of faith. A public meeting is to be held in the Town-lall at Bath, on Wednesday next, at which Mr. Roebuck will be pr, s sent. • In a letter addressed to his constituents, he prounisest 9 state his reasons for the conduct be has pursued in Parliament, . and answer some of the charges brought against him.

DuDLEY, APRIL 26.—The disturbance in this town has not subsided. Thousands of the poor nailera still continue to pa rade the streets. A body of police from Birmingham, amount ing to about one hundred, arrived last night, and this day troops of Yeomanry from the Staffordshire, \%orcestershire, and Him ley corps have successively entered the place. I understand that the agitation extends to Cradley, Bromsgrove, and Droit wich, and that detachments of military have lit en sent to all these places. Indeed, should the colliers " turn out," or rather be turned out, there will not be found troops enough in the country to pacify the timid, who fear that the famishing condition of the people will drive them to excesses. lam in formed that a conference did take place yesterday between some of the nailers end their employers, though your Corre spondent of yesterday ap7ears not to have known this fact The deputation entered the principal hotel, after which it was rumoured that they were detained as ringleaders by the Ma gistrates. The rumour was not true, but the belief in it caused a rush from the multitude towards the gates of the hotel. A body of " specials" sallied out and took a number of the people prisoners, of whom about twelve have been this day committed. When are our rulers to pay attention to the condition of England question? What, to men having the interests of the country at heart, would be the importance of war in India or China, in comparison with this ? I have this mament learned that a troop of artillery, are expected in to-night. MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The fresh supplies since Monday have been small. There was scarcely any business done, and prices were not altered. Flour dull in sale. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. There was a very good supply of Meat, but the demand was dull in consequence of the fine weather, and prices lower.

Last night Madame Frezzolini Poggi made her appearance at this theatre iii Bellini's opera of Beatrice di Tenda. This lady, who for some yt ars has been the reiyning prima donna of Italy, does not come to us with all her professional honours fresh upon her, or quite darts sa premiere jennesse. She is, however, in the full maturity of her powers, both as a vocalist and actress, and may justly rank amongst the ornaments of the stage. Her figure is rather above the middle height, and graceful ; her physiognomy combining, in an oval contour, eyes large and dark, a delicately formed nose, in the slightest degree aquiline, lips in harmony, and a pale olive complexion has every faculty for the pre possessing indiction of expression. Madame Frezzolini's voice is of very agreeable quality, taking something of a middle place between that of Persiani and Grisi, with more of tone than the former, less of power than the latter. In brilliancy . f execu tio❑ it has not been as free:). gified by nature or accomplished by arta, either. It is, however, essentially melodious. Mad. Frez zolini is also an actress of considerable power, but it must he said that her st)le is strongly, obviously tit ctured with the artificial, and thus not a little enfeebled. She was received with much warmth on her first appearance, and went through the acena " Respiro io que" with much feeling. Her con cluding scena, " Ali 1 se un urna," with its two contrasted movements, was executed by her with a degree of spirit and delicacy that made it quite a crowning display, and work a most /cabins recognition of its impression. On the tall of the certain, Madame Frr zzolini had to come forth and receive the usual tribute to which favourites on these boards are so familiar. Signor lionconi took the part or Filippo, and personated the character with much ecergy, if but little elegance. The house was erooded. Her Majesty, Lis Royal Highness Prince lbert, and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, occupied the royal box. THE ROEHAMPTON MURDER.—The infamous no toriety obtained by the persons concerned in this horrid tra gedy has afforded an opportunity to several artists for the exer cise of their graphic powers; and we have already received two or three copi,s of sketches taken in Bow-street on the morning of the 21st. Some of these are very good, and others very inuifferent. The best, we think, is one heating the name of A. O'Driscoll a , the artist, and which has been publishrd by Spootier. The likeness of Good in this picture is admirable; in fact we can scarcely conceive that a closer likeness could he taken, except indeed by the Daguerreotype process. The like ncas of Terre', the gaoler, who is represented in the same box as Goad, is also very exact ; but the other figures are not so well executed. NATIONAL GALLERY.—This morning several work men were engaged in making preparations at the National Gal lery for the reception of her Alajety and Prince Albert, who are e: petted to honour the Royal Society of Arts with a visit on Friday next, to .'iew the paintings, &c., for the ensuing ex hibition. A covered way is being put up from the carriage road to the grand entrance, and will he tastefully fitted up. Several of the old pictures were removed this mor..ing, Last evening a public meeting was held at The Hol born Chapel-room, Holborn, when Dr. Baldaconi was in the Chair, and it was resolved, that the Carbolic Institute for the Lincoln's lon District should be re-organised. A petition was alto signed for permission for Roman Catholic Ministers to visit prisoners and persons in Union-workhouses, the Army and Navy, and the Alilitary and Naval Schools. • SUDDEN DEATH.—Late on Monday night an in qui ist was taken before Mr. Higgs, deputy. coroner for \Vest m. at the Sun Tavern, Curzon-street, May-fair, on view of the body of Thomas Oliver Gascoigne, Esq., aged 36. A monist the personal friends of deceased present at the inquest w ere, Earl de Grey, Lord Morton, W. Beckett, Esq., M. P., yr. Ferranti, Esq., W. L. Gilmour, Esq., H. B. Ray, Esq., J. Oliver, Esq., Robt. Oliver, Esq., Ste. Henry Soames deposed that he was valet to the deceased gentleman, who resided at No. 41', Curzon-street. He was generally in the enjoyment of good health. About two o'clock last Sunday afternoon witness last raw him dive, at which time he was in the drawing-room. An hour afterwards witness, on going into the room, found him sitting on the floor with his head resting on the arm of one of the chairs apparently We's. He immediately called up Mr. ill'Donald, the landlord of the house, when a surgeon was sent for, who pronounced him to he dead. Mr. J. Moody, surgeon,so. 11, Curzon• street, conside re d th a t hi s d e ath was caused by apop:exy. It further appeared that deg eased, who, on the t:emise of his father would have conic into possession of 60,(00/, a-year, was subject to epilepsy, in a fit of ii 'licit, no doubt, he was first seizrd, and that merging into apoplexy ter minated in death. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." We must, it seems, swallow the Income-tax of the quack doctor. How it will sit on the stomach of the nation remains to be proved, We predict that it will not be found very easy or dige , tion, when once it begins to operate; and if the nation is not sickened by the impost, ere a twelvemonth pass over our heads, as to make it throw off both it and its author, we shall forfeit our reputation in the prophetic line. — Dover Chronicle. The Journal du Havre of Saturday announces that orders have been received there to re-establish a Chamter of Commerce, in lieu of that which resigned in consequence of the postponement of the Sugar Bill. MEMOIR OF M. HUMANN. care has it fallen to our lot to record the r?ei , attura from this busy :ATTIC of affairs of .Senor Aguedo, the celebi ated of Spain, than the decease of M. Humeral, who was equally well known as the chief actor ‘n a similar sphere in France, compels us to repeat the melancholy intedigence. M. Humann was horn in Alsace, which, at the time of his birth, was accounted a province of the empire, but by the recent division has been split into two departments. M. Humann passed his early days on the banks of the Rhine, which traverses that country, and occasionally made visits t o the borders of Switzerland and Lorraine. A spirit of traffic and travel seems early to have inspired him, and leaving the corn and tobacco-groVving districts of his native place, he• proceeded at once to the capital of France to exercise his talents as a me chant. He soon became the master of a large mercantile depot, which, while it advanced his pecuniary interests, tended also to bring out, by the nature of its affairs, the quick and stirring abilities requisite for a creditable accountant and negotiator. By a variety of circumstanc, s, M. Humann formed for him self a large acquaintance with the Ministerial men of the day. His talents as an able financier became more and more ac kuowledged. in the advice and guidancit which he not unfre quently rendered them; and finally he himself had the ambition to aspire to, and at length to gain, a seat in the Cabinet in this capacity. . - I he unsettled state of affairs in France towards the close of the year 1832, and the hostile discussions in the Chambers, causes at length a change of Ministry, which ended in the entry in•.o office on the 11th of October, of the first 'I biers Ministry, and of which M. Humann mu - first appointed Minister of Finance ; and his tables and treasury accounts on this oceasion, and on all hands, were allowed to be ably and satisfactorily di awn up. In the same capacity, M. Mumann continued to appear in the Cabinet of the 25th of December, and in that of the 4th of April, during the Ministry of 1834. It was on one of these occasions, when great changes were about to be introduced as regarded the economy of the nation, that his usual silence gave way to an excellent aisplay of spec b. He had laid the ex penses of the budget on the table, which had been prepared by commissioa, and expressed his conviction, that in the actual state of things it was impossible to suppress more than ten mil lions of francs of the budget; and after commenting on the pussibility of change, added : " Yes, gentlemen, one could say in 1789, when it was neces sary to destroy the feudal edifice; one could say in 1800, when it was necessary with the ruins of the leudal edifice to construct a modern edifice ; and one could say daily with ease, we must change these systems.' But to-day, after so many wars, after the Revolution, after Napoleon, after five years of representative Government, it is iniquitous and absurd to think of further change of system. No, gentlemen, our Constitution is at present formed, and our labour must be to perfect its structure, and it is for this, that, after months of labour, a co :.mission of conscientious men, working under my superintendence, have found it neither possible nor advisable, to economise at the ut most more than ten millions of francs." The measure which brought M. Humann as a financier most before the public, was that which occurred in the January of 1836, when the violent agitation in the Cabinet, which his measures produced, brought on some very decisive effects : On the 14th of that month, M. Humana made his annual statement of the national accounts, and in doing so, though he did not propose any measure, he expressed a strong opinion in favour of reducing the Five per Cents. to a Four per Cent. Stoca, by paying off those who might dissent from the reduc tion, and he considered it a favourable opportunity and time for so doing. The economical results of the plan were at least palpable,, but his opponents urged against it considerations which, though in a certain degree deserving of at: ention, were perhaps such as should not be allowed to predominate over the great interests of the country. This expression of opinion gave great offence to the Prime Minister and to some others of M. Humann's colleagues. Ministers knew that the Five per Cent. Stock was princi pally fur investments; its holders were almost all to be be found in Paris, in the class of shopkeepers and others who formed the National Guard. There was a strong disinclination, therefore, in the M:nistry, to do anything which, by touching the pockets, might cool the patriotism of that numerous and important class. It had been agreed in the Cabinet that no plan fir the conversion should be proposed; but M. Humann, who on every occasion had openly declared in the Chamber the propriety and urgency of the measure, thought himself bound to state now that his views had undergone no change. The Filament of the Council, however, and the majority of his colleagues blamed him highly tor having gone so far in stating his opinion, without having previously informed them of his intention. M. Humann, hereupon, immediately tendered his resignation. which was accepted, and on the 18‘h of January, Count d'Argout was named Minister of Finance in his place. But further explauati ns regarding this occw rence were called for in the Chamber of Deputies, and this measure did not merely turn out a finance Minister, but immediately gave M. Humana ample revenge by turning out the whole Cabinet. "1 he proposal was too reasonable and useful not to be a general favourite. A hot debate of two days ensued, and on a division of the ChamSer the Government was Lett in a minority of two, 192 Members having voted for adjourning the ques tion, and 194 against it. All the ministers immediately repaired to the Tuileries and placed their resignations it the hands of the King. On the formation of a new Ministry Count d'Argout still continued Finance Minister. A long blank of five years then occurs, in which he was totally out of office, till the 29th of October, 1840, when he came in with the new Administration. By the above enumeration, therefore, it will appear that M. Humann has been Minister of Finance in seven Cabinets out of the nineteen which have been formed and dissolved since 1830. M. Humann's sup e ort of the pretensions of the French Pose office, brought him within these few days prominently before the public. Two successors are spoken of in his place, Al. Lacave Laplagne, and M. Duchatel. Shortly after two o'clock this afternoon a fire broke out at No. 6, Loder-place, near Buckingham Palace. It soon caught the adjoining house, and was stilt raging ac• cording to the last accounts. A young child is said to have perished in the flames. DUBLIN, APRIL 25.—Owing to the very alarming state of the northern parts of Tipperary. as evidenced by the numerous outrages perpetrated within the last fortnight, a meeting of Magistrates took place on Saturday last, when a memorial, strongly worded, was forwarded to the Executive, praying that prompt measures would be taken to afford protec tion for the lives and properties of the peaceable and well disposed inhabitants of the disturbed districts. Five additional policemen have been dispatched to Moneygall, the scene of the recent murder, or, it is to be feared, murders, as it is currently reported in town to-day that Mrs. Margaret Curry, the com panion of the ill-fated Mr. Roberts, had expired of the wounds she received on the evening the former met his untimely end. Up to the present there has been no clue to the assassins, and from the combination that exists there appears to be little pro bability that the Government reward will have the desired effect of leading to detection. SINGULAR DELUSlON.—Yesterday an inquisition was taken before Mr. Baker, at the Horn of Plenty, Globe road, Mile-end, on the body of Mr. Thomas Baynham, aged thirty, an upholsterer and house-agent, in an extensive way of business, whose death took place under the following very singular circumstances :—Sarsh Baynham said, the deceased was her brother. He was very eccentric in his habits, and had been ailing for some time, in consequence of his refusal to take sufficient nourishment. He laboured under a strong de lusion that abstinence from food would prolong his life, and in order that he should not eat too much, was in the constant habit of weighing all he ate, which including meat, he would not allow to exceed oz. per diem. He was first induced to pursue this course about three months back, and persevered in doing so, although Dr. Gossett told him he did not take sufficient nourishment. He took long walks, and frequently returned home quite exhausted. On Thursday evening last he returned home quite overcome, and talked very wildly. He went to bed, and on the following morning he ap peared raving mad, in which state he co n ti nue d t ill e i g h t o'clock the same evening, when he expired. Mr. Storey. surgeon, said he was called in on Thursday night to see de. ceased. He found him in bed quite insane. He appeared dreadfully emaciated. His pulse was very low, and he was es iderely suffering from congestion. He ordered him beef tea and wine, hut he never rallied. From what he had heard , he had no doubt that the deceased died of natural causes from exhaustion produced from the abs, nce of proper food and nourishment. The want of fo, d would produce madness.— Verdict—'• Died from natural causes of exhaustion from want of sufficient food." ' 1 he Commerce contains the following letter from Logan, in the Canton of Teirro, dated Aped 17 We have been for two days under arms, on 'account Of a report that thr adherents of the aristocrat,c 'Envy, aded by Athtrian de .erters, and f rvoured by the Governments of Piedmont and Lombardy, were about to make a new a tempt at a counter revolution. Yesterday was the day mentioned as the day for the intended attempt, but it has passed over will - rout any de monstration." PARIS, APRIL 23.—The weather, which had for fortnight been colder than had been the case for many years in April, has become suddenly very hot. We have now an Italian syk and temperature, and all that is wanted to promote rapt vegetatii,n is rain : a little fell last night, but it was not oat ficient to do much good. A letter from Vienna, April 13, in the Journal d Frank fat, says :—" The mival of 111. Pageot, Charge d'Af faires i'or France, at the Court of Aladrid, after having been to London on an extraordinary mission, has cxci ed general no tire, and his fi equent visits to several high diplomatists, always accompanied by Count Flahaut, have caused various surmi,,s. One of these is that he is charged with engaging our Court to fivolir the modifications which France wishes to be made in the treaty for the right of search. Others conceive M. Pa gimes object to be the inducement of the Courts iif Vienna. Berlin, and St. Petersburgh, to join France and E n gla n d in their acknowledgment o f Q ueen Isabella 11. It has been re aiarked that, since the arrival of AI. Pagent, there have been several conferences between Count Flahaut and Sir Robert tiordon, the 1.3 i itish ]Minister. The only certainty is that, for some time past, the correspondence between the Cabinets of the different great Powers has become more active than during the winter." M. Constan, an engraver of Bordeaux, is stated by the journals of that city, to have invented a jointed axletree, applicable to heavy end light ordinary carriages and waggons, and also to railroad vehicles, the advantages of which are thus described :—A travelling-carriage, built at Bordeaux, and fur nished with these new axletrees, was loaded to the same weight as the mail-coach, minus 300 lbs., started from Bor deaux at the same time as the mail, and arrived with it in Paris, although M. Constan's carriage was drawn by two horses only, while the mail had five. After its arrival, it was examined carefully, and found not to have sustained the slight est deterioration from friction or any ether cause. The name of the Englishwoman who committed suicide two days ago, after attempting to murder her child, a boy six yea's of age, anti nu t seventeen, as erroneously s t ate d in the first a ccoun t s , wa s Myers. She was only twe n ty-fi v , years of age. Her husband died last month, and, as h e h ad but recently b e g u n business as a watchmaker, on his death hi s wife and two c hild re n were left in a state of compl e t e des!i u tion. This so affected the poor woman, that s h e conceived the dreadful resolution of des!ruying her children and herself. Siie i accordingly called her eldest boy , a child six y ears o f age, Aqu i immediately a atteliei Ais , hertabbcid in hart, himi ai,d, thebrea:r; but h er resolutier for tn the c hild' s crying f or mercy, she left hint,, and insta ntly drew the kMie across her own throat, inflicting a dreadful wound. Sh e (h en , as a l rea d y stated, opened her window and threw hersOf from a third story into the street, and was taken u, quite. ead. The poor boy is doing well, and has be en rest teed, a s we ll as hi s younger brother, into the .British Orptan Asyl um. The international [shipwreck Society has awarded an honorary medal, with dip]. ma of Sa uve t e u r to Mil e . A. Dalharate of Biarritz, near B a y onne. I n the winter of lts39, a dreadful tempest broke over Biarritz, and the Zoe lighter of Nantes was dashed on the rocks with terrible force. A crowd collected on the shore, but no person would venture to the relief of the sailors, who were clinging io the sinking ves sel. 1% hat no man would risk attempting, a w..ak wi.mito boldly undertook. She seized a rope, threw herself into he r aging sea, and, after numerous failures, at last succeeded in swneming to the vessel. At the moment of her arrival, the captain, 1% ho was holding on, found his strength give way, and fed into the sea. She caught him as lie rose to the surf ,ce, and bore him to land befr-e lie was extinct. Such conduct it a man would have been admirable, but in a woman it was sublime. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, APRIL 6.—The last ten days have been of any • k.'• •r. it, the Delta. The following proclamation was published on the 30th ult. : " The public is desired to take note of the following pars graph of a letter addressed to the undersigned by Kosref teitdi, second secretary and interpreter of his Highness the Viceroy, on date of 2d Soler, 1258 (March 14, 1842). " His Highness the Viceroy encharges your Excellency to repeat to the merchants what he himself has already, on more than one occasion, told them verbally, that no attention will be paid, nor any note taken of any complaints or protests which might in future be made for the recovery of disbursemen ts made to account of purchases of produce, if such produce shall not have keen first duly weighed or measured. '(Signed) " BOGHOS JOUSSOUFF. " Alexandria, Mardi 30, 1812." This appears, at first sight, a startling proposition, that In commercial relations with the natives, under the "free trade system, no reoress for claims against them will be redressed i 0 the Turkish tribunals ; but, on the other hand, 'must be take s into consideration the peculiar tenure on which the Arab bolds his lands, and their produce. The Pacha all along has warned Europeans, that, fro n, the first proposal of establishing a free trade, they must not make advances to the Arab. The ambi goons term, •' duty weighed and measured," mear•.a, I thinks merely that they must get positive possession of the produee they buy before they pay fur it, or make any payment to ac count of It. MALT A. MALTA, APRIL 15.—The Polyph,-mus left on the 11th foe. for 'Naples, conveying there the distinguished Hindoo, the Dwarkanauth 'rajOre, on his way to England. Whilst here 10 gentleman displayed his usual liberality in donations to the chari' ties of the island ; he presented the infant school with eight,' Spanish dollars. The Ottoman schooner Gliul Sofit left also fcr Tripoli on the I lth inst. The Formidable will leave Gib raltar on the arrival of the Belvidere.

The petty officer of her Majesty's ship CO P bridge, who murdered the boy, and was condemned to he hung, is to go to England by the brig Weazle, which is to Su in a few days. The sentence was to this effect—" To be hest on board her Majesty's ship Cambridge, or one other of b 4 Majesty's ships, at the pleasure of the Admiralty." It is fer' veal) , hoped that the g oo d p ract i ce o f ma ki ng lip mails by he r Majesty's steamers of war will be continued. We cannot too much praise Sir Francis Mason for having afforded this facility to the commerce of the island.
