NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. When people do their best they sometimes fail to please. It has been so in our case, we regret to say, more than once. On Wednesday even .. ing, such was the extraordinary call for Sir Robert Peel's speech, that we found it absolutely impossible to keep pace with the public demand, although our machines actually print one hundred per minute ! But the worst of it was, that the continued influx of new corners, crowding on and encumbering us with their " special favours," so perplexed our exertions, that several of our old, and there fore best, friends were disappointed in receiving their papers in regular course, without any blame whatever attaching to those agents who supply them. We shall endeavour to rectify this in future, by closing our doors against our kind friends, the new corners, until the old ones are first served, and thus we shall— " Be sure to be off with the old love, Before we are on with the new." Apart from this annoyance we have to regret that on all occasions of public interest many people make more free than welcome with The Sun, and thereby rob our customers, and disappoint the public. Over such people, unfortunately, we have no controul, but if we could detect one or more of them, neither labour nor expense should stand in our way to bring them to justice and to shame. In other respects we are happy to state that our Expresses all over the country, as usual, have answered admirably. We have done more justice to Sir Robert Peel's speech than it was worth.

We quite agree with the Chairman of the Anti-Corn law Conference , an d with several of its me mbers who spoke yesterday, that we ought no longer to inquire into the consequences of the C orn-laws, but how t o get rid of them. Their disastrous and murderous effec ts are written in the misery of the p eo p le. Nevertheless, the landed aristocracy are resolved to retain them. They hwve told the empire, by the mouth of Sir ROBERT 3)l hia.. that they will, in spite of justice and remon str"krraiststarving T he q stifling tr ade and t he people. i s , what _ then, which men have to ask themselves l'r• do to be saved from this great iniquity ? That will test their souls, and, as they answer it, so will they be free men, or the slaves of a grim and blood-smeared idol, which the aristocracy have invested with the benevolent and majestic attri butes of law, and call on them to worship. It was well observed by Mr. COBDEN yesterday, that the people did not require to use physical force when they are unanimous. This is the plain consequence of the fact that legislation derives all authority from opinion. The aristocracy has no power to enslave us if we are not willing to be slaves. Government can only coerce the people by the power of the people. There is no means, as Mr. BURKE long ago said, of drawing up an indictment against a nation. If the great majority, then, is determined that the aristocracy shall not plunder us, by that determination the power of their grim idol will be at an end. Let the people then be true to them selves. Let them declare against the bread-taxers. Let them support the noble and courageous proceedings of the Conference. Let them cast off their respect, amount ing almost to reverence, for those who brutally oppose them. Let them in one word resolve to be free, and di? power of their oppressors will be annihilated for ever. We can give, we are happy to say, encouragement to the Conference and hope to the people. We learn from various quarters that intense indignation is felt by the multitude against Sir ROBERT PEEL. He is looked on, not only as an oppressor, but as a cheat. He has for several months excited hopes that he meant to relieve the national distress, which were much augmented by his cunning trick of ousting the Duke of BUCKINGHAM from his Cabinet. But now lie not only denies relief. he mocks at the national sufferings, by asserting that the law has not caused them. In proportion to their hopes is the indignation of the people at the injury inflicted on them, and at the miserable trick by which Sir RO BERT PEEL has hoped to beguile and delude them. Such consequences may inspire the Conference with con fidence, while its present conduct proves that it is the worthy organ of the high and noble resolves of 'the people. To prepare our readers for the great crisis which is evidently approaching, when reason shall be brought into violent conflict with the blind obedience which has hi therto been preached as a duty, we have occasionally adverted to the absurd assertion of the Tories, that unless everything called a law be obeyed, whatever crimes it may ordain, society will fall to pieces. Society is not held together by strife-begetting, demoralising, murder ous laws, such as it has pleased our selfish Tandlords to make for the purpose of enriching themselves. Nor have such barbarous enactments, rightly understood—though the ceremonies have been gone through of crying out " the Ayes" or " the Contents have it," and of reading a little Norman French, by which the Ministers for the time being give the nominal sanction of the SOVE REIGN to the Bill to which they have obtained the as sent of the two Houses—the proper and just authority of law. Mr. Justice BLACKSTONE says, that all human laws derive their authority from the laws of nature, and that no human laws, which are contrary to the laws of nature, are of any force or validity whatever. Found ing on this high legal authority, we have no hesitation in affirming that the Corn-law, which cuts off' the com merce between nations —that is, ordained by the AL MIGHTY, like the different climates soils, and natural properties of different countries, from which it grows. which plunders one class of the community to enrich another, and which starves a great multitude of human beings, violating the two express commands, " Thou shalt not steal," and " Thou shalt not murder,"—found ing on the acknowledgedly high authority of Mr. Justice BLACKSTONE, we unhesitatingly assert, that the Corn law, which violates both the revealed law of GOD and the law of nature, is of no force or validity whatever. It follows, as a necessary consequence, that it is wrong in the people to obey such a scandalous embodiment of immoral selfishness of the landowners. They have, by their obstinate adherence to an unjust law, brought man's moral duties and their enactment into conflict. The energetic proceedings of the Conference yesterday has made this important truth apparent, and will make it necessary for the community to choose between obe dience to the moral law, or obedience to the aristocracy. We rejoice to believe that the bulk of the people are ashamed of their long submission, and they will over rule any decision of Parliament which goes to perpetuate the Corn-laws. If Mr. COBDEN may be relied on, and we trust and believe he may, the Members of the House of Commons will be told the truth on this subject during the ensuing discussion. He must, however, be resolute, and pre pared for much opposition. The forms of the House, which have been partly constructed to stifle truth, on pretence of preserving order, will be invoked against him. It will be said that it is unparliamentary to at tribute motives; that he must not, in Parliament, de nounce Parliament itself ; and the young aristocrats who, to the shame of the people, misrepresent them i❑ their own House, will endeavour to stifle arguments they cannot answer. Let him, however, stick firmly to his points, let him tell the House of Commons in plain terms the ruinous consequences of their law, let him expose the base motives of those who enacted it, and let him fear lessly unveil the effects on the public mind of persisting in such an iniquitous enactment; let him do this and the voice of truth will be more powerful even in that assembly, than the ferocious tirades of Lord STANLEY, the heavy hypocrisy of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, or the shallow plausibilities of the PREMIER himself. We have never, for one moment, doubted of the ultimate success of our cause. The conduct of the Conference yester day, the encouraging news we receive from all parts of the country, and the expressed determination of the Liberal Members to speak out boldly in the House of Commons, combine to convince us that, in spite of all • the monopolists of the empire, complete success is both near and certain. The following remarks on the subject of a correspond ence reported to have taken place between Lord ABER DEEN and M. GUIZOT, is from one of the Paris papers received this morning. We find nothing else in them worth extracting:— It is affirmed that Lord Aberdeen has expressed his dissatisfac tion at M. Guizot having made use in the Chamber of his Lord ship's I tter relative to Algeria. It seeuis that notwithstanding his Lordship's assurance, the esequatur continues to be asked of the Sultan, and not of France, by virtue of the supremacy of Turkey. It is added that Sir Robert Peel intends to take up the question again in Parliament on a principle which would entirely change the nature of it. It seems, too, that M. de Bourqueney is taking much pains at Constantinople to hinder the departure of a Turkish expedition des_ tined for Tunis, but that his endeavours have hitherto failed of success. If the Porte takes a position in that Regency it will be an additional embarrassment in respect to our possessions of Algeria. It is rumoured in the diplomatic world that notwithstanding after the vote of the Chamber on the paragraph of the address relative to the right of search, the exchange of the ratification of the Treaty between the Powers is going on, al dis probably completed. It is remarked that the Queen of England would not have spoken so positively of the conclusion of the Treaty if she had not been cer_ fain of the issue of the affair. —La Gazette de France.

THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAIL WAY.—The finishing of this magnificent undertaking is now draw ing to a close. The terminus shed at Queen-street, erected by Messrs. Miller and Bank*, of Argyll-street, continues to elicit the admiration of all who visit it, and we can say for ourselves, after having seen many works of a similar description, that it is the most beautiful of them all. There is only one little thing wanting to render the station perfect, and that is the gilding of the spear-heads of the very handsome railing by which the shed is enclosed. As to the extra expense, that would be an exceedingly small affair to boggle at in such a work, and we shall he bound that the chaste lightness which this small bit of display will impart to the,build. ing, especially in the ensuing summer months, will amply repay the trifling sum of fifty or sixty pounds, which is all that would be required to decorate the stations both at Edinburgh and Glasgow. We trust this will be attended to previous to the grand start. The gilding of such railings is universal on the Continent, and every one who has been abroad knows the degree of elegance imparted by the embellishment. On paying our usual visit to the terminus yesterday we found that the workmen had already made consider. able progress in boarding in the great shed, preparatory to the gr,nd dinner which takes place there on the 18th current, and that the greatest activity prevailed in every department to forward the work, so as to be ready by the date alluded to, on which occasion we learn that twenty-five carriages will start with the company from Glasgow. After arriving at Edinburgh the party will return to dinner, accompanied by other twenty five carriages, with the Edinburgh gentlemen, making in all fifty carriages, which will contain nearly one thousand persons. It is needless to mention that all the eminent men connected with the railway, as superin tendents, engineers, and managers, are assiduous in their en deavours to render the works as perfect as possible previous to the opening.—Glasgow Constitutional. We find the following in a letter from Athens, of the 20th ult. :—A horrible murder has just been perpetrated in this city. The house of Monsieur Negroponte was forcibly entered at night by msassins, who stabbed him th roug h t h e heart, while in bed with his wife. N. cause has been assigned for this diabolical act ; the victim had only recently returned to his family from England, where he had resided as a Greek merchant for some years, and was justly esteemed for his amiable disposition and upright dealings, This is the third assassination which has occurred in Athens during the last month, and with shame be it said, with impunity, as the police are too much oc cupied in espionage for political purposes to And time to look after such tr u es, .4!...

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND pubitt pinton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. There is not a syllable of political news of the slightest interest in the French journals. _ _ The Madrid papers are of the 2'd instant. No appearance of a termination of the debate on the Address. Baron Pelichy, a Frenchman, was arrested by order of the pol , tical chief of Madrid. and treasonable papers were seized at his lodgings. It is not stated to what faction he belonged. The King of the Belgians has appointed General de Liem, of the artillery, Minister of War, to replace the late General Buzen. Tile principality of Pyrmont has acceded to the German Cus toms Union. A letter from Tunis, in the Augsburg Gazette, says that the Sar. dinian Government has just concluded with that of Holland a cons. mercial treaty, similar to the one existing with Great Britain. The Presse, which usually supports the Ministers, is not-alto. gether so well satisfied with the railway project. That journal observes :—" The Bill is perhaps cleverly drawn up. The profound uncertainty which it allows to hang over the ulterior intentions of the Government, and the lion's share which it leaves to private speculation, are doubtlessly very proper expedients to secure a ma jority ; but there is a means of success more powerful than corrup. tion, viz., that which derives its strength from principle. and re. poses upon equity." The Constitutionnel has very few words on the subject. It merely observes that a great deal is promised, but very little is to be done, and expresses astonishment that the line from Paris to Strasburg, which, it says, is the most important as regards the de fence of the country, has been overlooked. The National also expresses astonishment that the line from Paris to Strasburg does not figure amongst those which are included in the present Bill, and complains of the large amount reserved by the Bill for private speculators, and of thepower placed by it in the hands of the members of the Council-General of the departments. The Courrier Francais denounces the Bill as part of a system of wholesale bribery. We give a statement so disgraceful to the re presentation of France in the words of our Gallic Contemporary : " The Bill is the most flagrant exposure that could be made of the present state of the Chamber and the electoral colleges. Corrup tion has reached such a height, that the representative system, like a machine without a spring, is incapable of working. The country demands railways, but it will not have them ; for a Ministry like that of the 29th October could not propose really useful lines with. out instantly losing the votes of the Deputies whose localities were not to be provided for. The Commerce objects to the Bill chiefly because, instead of holding out encouragement to speculate in railways, the Govern. ment, says the Commerce, which executes slowly and expensively, reserves to itself what would be much better done by the collective enterprise of individuals. The Quotldienne says there is mote pomp in the announcement than there is likely to be reality in the execution, and states that Ministers will so contrive matters that their patronage and in. fluence as to railways shall be made conducive to their success at the next general election. The Steck and the France are equally dissatisfied. We have only space for a quotation from the latter :—" The Minister of Public Works has presented to the Chamber of Deputies the prospectus of the railways which are hereafter to be executed. In the rest of Europe complete lines are made without hubbub, and without charlatanism. Here all that is done is making prefaces of works which are never completed. Quacks I Quacks I" The Basle Gazette states that the Cabinet of the Tuileries has made a communication to the Cantonal Government of Geneva, concerning the intercourse kept up by the Communists in France with some of their sect in Switzerland. We learn from Madrid papers of the Ist inst., that Senor Luzan's amendment, approving the conduct of the Gonzalez Cabinet in reference to the October insurrection, was carried in the Congress on that day by a majority of 35 votes, the number being 85 against 50. A letter from Madrid of the Ist inst. says—" It is not at all unlikely that, on the plea of strengthening the Administration, at tempts will be made to induce M. Surra y Rull to resign within the next six weeks, and, as he has no particular aim in remaining in office, it is probable that he may do so, unless a public declaration of the British holders of bonds of Spain against his quitting office, declaratory of their increased confidence in him, should meanwhile be made ; he is the only one of the Liberal Ministers that has ac tually done anything for them." It was reported in Madrid, on the Ist, that the Archbishop of Valencia had followed the example of his Right Rev, brother of Toledo, and tendered his resignation, in consequence of the projects of law recently submitted to the approval of the Cortes, on the existing relations with Rome. According to a St. Petersburg letter, in the Gazette of Upper Germany, an ukase is about to be issued concerning failures and bankruptcies. By its provisions, any persons stopping payment, and not being able to pay 40 per cent, of his liabilities, is to be considered a fraudulent bankrupt, and sent to Siberia, or enrolled in the army as a common soldier. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times is of opinion that Sir Robert Peel's scheme for the re-adjustment of the Corn-laws is such as will be pretty sure to conciliate the suit ages of the more moderate men of all parties. The Chronicle asserts that Sir Robert Peel has sunk himself into a position which his bitterest enemies may almost commiserate; and that his ezpose on Wednesday was evidently as little satisfac. tory to himself as it is to the country, or as it must prove to his masters, the landlords. " His speech," adds the Chronicle," exhibits the servile leader, the embarrassed Minister, the paralysed sophist." The Herald, in reference to Lord John Russell's intended amendment on Sir Robert Peel's Corn.law scheme, says,—" The Noble Lord's amendment carried, what follows? Either that there is to be no Corn-law, or that the present law is to remain in force. Now, to either of these alternatives no one is more opposed than his Lordship; so that success in his own proposal would be the worst thing that could befal the Noble Utensil." The Post is satisfied with the new Ministerial Corn •law project, chiefly becausc it has disappointed the politicians "of the Cobden school." Our Contemporary adds, " when these impudent, sel fish, and conceited persons are sorely displeased, we may be sure that something good has happened." The Chronicle enters its protest against Sir Robert Peel's Corn law scheme, as being little better than an insult to the country. " The poor, patient sufferers," says our Contemporary, "in no case fully employed, and in many cases wholly without employment, who ha►e been wandering about their respective neighbourhoods, like spectres rather than human beings, will, by the sentence of the Tory aristocracy, of which Sir Robert Peel was last night the organ, find themselves precluded even from the hope of possible relief in this world.—His measures of awful Importance to the country are of awful disappointment to the millions.—Ofone thing the country may feel certain, that the disappointment—nay, dis gust—of their Liberal representatives without exception, cannot be surpassed by what may be felt by themselves.—Every honest man throughout the empire must, by this time, be satisfied that the resignation of the Duke of Buckingham was a wretched trick played off on the people. It is below contempt." The Herald expresses itself favourably toward Sir Robert Peel's modified Corn-law measure, observing, "not that the new project is free from objections, or will be perfectly satisfactory to the agri. culturists as a body, but it is based on the principle of due protec tion being given to our domestic soil, and may be so amended in Committee, as to render it acceptable to all moderate politicians. Sensible and temperate persons wilt scan the details of the plan with favour, and suggest only such amendments as are indispensable." The Post speaks somewhat doubtfully and coldly of Sir Robert Peel's Corn-law project, and says :—" It is not reasonable that much consideration should be given to the subject beforc a judg. ment is formed ; and possibly the result of that consideration may be a conviction that the proposed scale is not lower than that which sound policy dictates in the present juncture of affairs. The first impression, however, is undoubtedly that of surprise at the very considerable reduction of duty which has been proposed. Whatever may be thought of Sir R. Peel's new scheme, there is certainly no mystification in it. The Times observes of Sir Robert Peel's Corn-law scheme :- 4 '. We see no reason to departfromthe opinion which we have always expressed—that a moderate fixed duty would be safer, better, and more likely to be permanent than any modification of the sliding scale. In this respect we still differ from Sir Robert Peel, and should undoubtedly prefer a plan embodying our own principle to that which he has submitted to the House of Commons. But we are not so blinded with faction or prejudice as to think that no change which falls short of our own notions of perfection can be acceptable or advantageous to the nation, and we recognize in the proposal of Government a very great practical improvement upon the existing system, and a valuable approximation to the settle. ment which we should most desire." PARLIAMENTARY. The nomination at Taunton took place, on Wednesday, when Sir T. E. Colebrooke, on the Liberal side, and James Hall, Esq., on the Conservative, were proposed and seconded. Lord Jocelyn, the candidate for Lynn, has been canvassing the electors. The election was appointed to take place yesterday. The great demand made on our columns compels us to refer our readers to our report of the proceedings in Parliament instead of in. serting a summary of them. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT. A new gravel foot-path, nine feet in width, is to be formed and carried across Hyde Park, extending from the gate opening into the Bayswater.road, by Albany.street, to Apsley House. The Thatched House Tavern, St. James's, is to be pulled down, and the Conservative Club-house (a rival to the Carlton) erected in the course of the ensuing summer. ELECTIONEERING. The election for Taunton closed on Thursday, when Sir Edward Colebrooke, the Liberal candidate, was elected by a majority of 58 over his competitor, Mr. Hall. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. Among the castles possessed by Prince Esterhazy is that of Forchtenstein, close to Adenburg. It is built upon an eminence, and contains a considerable park of artillery, arms and equipments for 3,000 or 4,000 men, and a treasure composed of precious jewels of an immense value. me rimy—Tß-A.3D E--COMMERCE. At the half-yearly meeting of the Eastern Counties Railway held OD Wednesday the Secretary read the Report, from which it ap peared that the whole line to Colchester (52 miles) would be com pleted by the ensuing autumn, that the receipts for the half year amounted to 22,551 k, being an increase of 7,0161. over the former half year, and that the total receipts up to the 4th of January, 1842, were 1 ,888,2421., leaving a balance of 40,3121. over the expenditure. NAWLT. AND mrs,rrAssy. General Busen, the Belgian Minister of War, who has lately committed suicide, wrote and sealed a letter to King Leopold, on the morning in question, which reached the latter while at table with the King of Prussia, at Lacken. It was worded : " When you read this, I shall be no longer existing. You will find my body in the small pent-house of the Kitchen garden." The King's emotion could not be repressed. General Busen was a brave soldier, full of energy and zeal. THETRICAL. The Earl and Countess ,f Harrington went to Drury l a ne on Tuesday, to see the new drama of the Pris 4p War. Mrs. W. Howard, of th e Vi ctoria theatre, expired suddenly on Tuesday evening, while sitting at the supper-table, atter her per formance at the Victoria. She had been indisposed with a slight cold a day or two before her death. Mademoiselle Rachel will, we understand, appear for seven nights at the Italian Opera House early In the month of June. FINE ARTS. The widow of Baron Gros, the celebrated painter, has bequeathed to the city of Toulouse, the birth-place of her late husband, a painting of Venus and Cupid, a Portrait of the Baron himself, and the B i a n r t o in n g th ess, e icalpletxuerce of Napoleonuted by the tin ar y tis is t i ;a g pa. th lsoth e e sick withthe letter an o t h er used °. in pa Plague at Jaffa, and the Cupola of the Pantheon, and th e palm and wreath placed over the picture of the Plague scene, when exhibited at the Louvre in 1804. AI. Cherubini, the celebrated composer, now in his 82d year, has resigned the Directorship of the Conservatory of Music at Paris, after twenty years presidency. M. Auber is spoken of as his successor. C OURT-FASHI NABLE. The Marquis of Londonderry has been appointed to the office of Lord Lieutenant of the county of Durham, in the place of the late Duke of Cleveland. The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield left town Thursday for Badminton, the seat of the Duke of Beaufort. Earl Grosvenor left Grosvenor square on Wednesday for Mot. combe House, Gloucestershire. The Earl of Coventry's health has been in a very doubtful state lately. The Earl and Countess Delawarr will have the honour of joining the Royal circle at Brighton. The Dowager Viscountess Dillon has taken Mr. Bradshaw's Villa, the Grange, at B rompton, for a term. MISCIELTatiLNEOUS. The report of Mr. Maclean's retirement from the representation of the city of Oxford is untbunded. A Jargonelle pear-tree is at present in full blossom in the garden at Tulloch Castle, Wick; an early indication of spring. The Thames Tunnel will be finally opened to the public about the second or third week in April, when a small toll will be fixed for passing from one side of the river to the other.

Mr. Williams, the late candidate io; the Poetry Professorship at Oxford, appears to have mingled but little in the violence of the ate party question. During the hottest period of the controversy he was down with his family at Aberystwith, attending to the con secration of a new church in the sequestered spot of Liangorwen, to the building of which he had subscribed considerable sums. A grand fancy ball was given at Florence, to about 600 of the elite, on the 17th ult., to celebrate the birth of the Prince of Wales, in the Palazzo Ferrari, where Lord Holland resides. The Duchess of Castigliano appeared in a Persian costume, richly jewelled; and the Marchioness Iremtri as Mary Queen of Scots, with a profusion of pearls and diamonds. gulviourt, or THE DAY. (FROM A CORRLSPONDENT.)—A richly-endowed Roman Ca. tholic Chapel is shortly to be erected at Windsor, for the special acco.nmodation of the Roman Catholics, who are now, or may hereafter be, attendant on her Majesty. This will be very wel. come news to the foreign Princes and Ambassadors, &c., of the Catholic faith, who have hitherto been obliged, while the Court is at Windsor, to go to Clewer-green. The Queen of the Belgians, particularly, who was put to great inconvenience last year, will be glad of thiQ. The living is to be in the gift of her Majesty our Queen, with the approval of the Vicar Apostolic of the London District. The curate will be a French priest. LAW AND PO !ACE. At Union Hall, Henry Stanbope, who rejoiced in three other names, namely, Wood, Williams, and Stanton, and who in 1836 had sentence of death recorded against him for stealing in a dwell. ing-house, was committed to take his trial for purloining a gold ring set with pearls, the property of a Mrs. Gelding. Mr. Robert Horton, of Brecknock-terrace, Camden Town, a half-pay officer, was held to bail at Marylebone, for a violent as. sault upon Mr. Henry Tinson, of Princes-street, Cavendish square. The particulars were only imperfectly given, as the solici. tors of both parties expressed a wish that the case should go to the Sessions. In the action Quin v. Adams, tried on Wednesday in the Court of ExcheqLer, for the loss of a horse value 100 guineas, the Jury re turned a verdict (or the plaintiff, damages, 701. 10s. At the Westminster Sessions, Augustus Such, formerly warder in the Penitentiary, Millbank, was indicted for the assault com. mitted on Dr. Nihil, the Governor and Chaplain, of which a full account appeared in The Sun on Monday. The Jury found the pri. soner guilty, and the Chairman sentenced him to three months' im. prisonment in the House of Correction, and to find security to keep the peace for six months. A Frenchman of the name of Fages was committed at Marlbo rough-street on Wednesday, for inducing the wife of a countryman of his own to forge a cheque for 241. duriug the absence of the hus band at Manchester. It appeared from the evidence that the pe cuniary loss was not the only injury he had sustaioed from the pri soner. Henry Jones, coachman to Mr. C. Drummond, of Stratton street, was fined 3/. and costs, for horsewhipping two policemen in Mill bank. street, on Thursday, when the Queen opened Parliament. It appeared the defendant attempted to break through the regula. tions, and on being resisted applied his whip indiscriminately to the horses and the constables. At Worship.street on Thursday, Samuel Delaney, the driver of cab No. 530 was fined 205., with costs, for charging 95., instead of 65., the legal fare. A gang of swindlers have been practising successfully in the Clerken well district for some time, but though the Police Court was crowded on Thursday with the dupes, not one of them could prove that their property had either been pledged or sold. Samuel Edge, formerly employed by the Mendicity Society, and latterly one of the City Police, charged with fraudulently obtz.ining a pianoforte, was dis charged on giving up the instrument. Mr. Anderson, the singer, was charged at Marylebone with assaulting a cabman. According to the plaintiff's statement, Mr. Anderson refused to pay the legal fare, and, when pressed to do so, he used foul language, and gave the cabman a violent blow on the mouth. The lip was completely cut through, and he had to apply to a doctor to sew it up. Mr. Anderson denied the foul language, and further added, that the cabman put himself in a fighting attitude before he struck him. Mr. Long thereupon or dered the vocalist to pay 31., and costs. In the case of Lord Cochrane v. Kelly, the Master of the Rolls gave judgment on Thursday. An injunction had been Obtained to restrain the defendant from parting with two bills to the amount of 2,392/. 2s. each, for which, according to the statement of counsel, about 587/. 10s. had been received by the plaintiff. Lord Dundonald offered to repay all the money actually advanced, with 10/. per cent, interest ; but this the defendant refused to accept. Lord Langdale, therefore, after hearing counsel on both sides, decided that the injunction must be continued, thereby restraining the defendant from negotiating the bills. Thursday, at Marlborough.street, John Howard, an elderly man, and his wife, were committed for one month to the treadmill, as begging-letter impostors. The wife had obtained various sums from the Baroness Rothschild, and was arrested yesterday morning while pursuing her vocation as the Baroness entered her carriage. The huslyind, who was waiting at a short distance, was also taken into custody. He is the prince of beggars, for though kept in view by the Mendicity men since 1825, he has nevertheless cor.trived to realise, by the trade, more than 2001. a year. COURT CIRCULAR.

Mr. Lovett urged the propriety of an adoption of the Charter, and sug gested that a meeting should be held between the dele gates of the middle and ssorking classes, in which the various points of the Charter might be discussed. All parties present seemed agried that the Suffrage was a right, and that the agitation for the Suffrage and that for the repeal of the Corn-laws should go on collaterally.

Another man bad his leg broken, and a third was severely injured. MONEY MARKET 4,nd CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—The important question brought under the consi deration of Parliament yesterday evening, by the Premier, has engrossed the almost exclusive attention of the City interests during the day. The Minister's statement may lie said to have given satisfaction so far as the matter has been examined, espe cially that part of the arrangement which is calculated to check the system of jobbing, both here and on the Continent, to evade the operation of the revenue law. It is thought that the importation of wheat under the new scale will be at rates of duty generally ranging between 6s. and 95., or 10s. per qr. CHRONICLE.—The most correct description of the feel ing produced in commercial circles, by the new sliding scale proposed last night by Sir Robert Peel, is that of general dis • appointment. The funds, which are the truest indices of , public feeling in the monetary world, have shown na sympa thy with the Cabinet measure. It is not considered by mode rate men of any political section as sufficient to settle the ques tion, or to contain within itself such elements of useful change as can entitle it to their support. TIMES.—It is scarcely necessary to say that the new mea sure relative to the duties on corn almost wholly engrossed at tention in the city, an d it i s sat.s f actory to b e le to state generally with regard to it, that it meets with a more favour able reception from all parties than might have been antici pated. The classes who may be said to take a lively interest in the question, so far as the city is concerned, are the merchants, the dealers in corn, and those capitalists, a pretty numerous portion, who have invested largely in landed property. These last, however, are all more or less imbued with a commercial feeling, which renders their views of such State measures more liberal than those of the retired landholder, who is occu pied exclusively with his own position. The mere mercantile view of the question has reference ne cessarily to the possibility of rendering corn an object of regu lar commerce, and not something which the merchants can hardly venture to touch without hazard, and mixing up specu lation with their ordinary habits. These would, no doubt, have greatly preferred a fixed duty, but we think it may safely be said that this proposition of Sir H. Peel's is a sort of ap proximation to a fixed duty with which they are in a great measure content. lIER ALD. —The opening of the Ministerial measure fur the future regulation of the trade in corn has been favourably received in the City to-day by moderate men of all parties, and even in quarters where it has not been exactly approved, and where the scale of reduction in the duties proposed is not con sidered to be carried sufficiently low, the weight of the argu ments adduced by the Alinister in support of his own project and views is admitted on all hands to be almost conclusive and irre sistible. It is not to be denied, however, that a rather lower range of duties upon the variable scale would not have been unaccept able in commercial circles, and it is believed that such lower range would not be incompatible with that adequate protection to agriculture which no one whose head is equal to the working of a common syllogism-will dispute to be indispensable ; but from the difficulties which it is well known beset the solution of the Corn-law question, and. the consideration mutually title one to another between great national interests, it is properly felt that a slight difference only in a matter of fiscal or tariff arrangement ought not to be permitted to disturb the harmony which should exist between them, or to engender and perpe tuate discord. The cold has been so intense at Barcelona that the water in the theatre which was to be employed in imitating a fountain in a ballet, was frozen there a few nights ago during the performances. Learning appears to be making great progress in the Island of Sardinia. At the University of Cagliari, which in 1825 reckoned only 270 students, the number increased in 1832 to 302, and in the present year amounts to 499. A violent shock of an earthquake was felt at Pyr gos, in the Peleponnesus, on the 31st ult. It lasted 4} se. conds, and was followed by several other shocks, less strong during the night. The shock came as if from the island of Zante. The Leipsic Gazette, from which we derive this in telligence, gives no particulars of any' damages. In the House of Commons on Wednesday night the Bill for the Better Regulation of Railways was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday Feb. 21. --- On Sunday last, a child was born in the parish of Bocking, and named Thomas Harris, who has now living two great grandfathers and two great grandmothers, a grand father and grandmother, on his father's side; arid on his mo ther's, a great grandfather and great grandmother, besides a grandfather and grandmothermaking ten of these ancestors in all. If the whole were collected together at the christening it was a grand set out.— Essex Herald. FRENCH BREAD-EATERS.—The French have, of old, been noted as gri at bread• eaters. They have a proverb "Paintant qu'il dure, yin a mesure," which may be translated, Eat bread at pleasure, Drink wine by measure. Randle Cotgrave, in his Dictionary published in 16 il, ob serves that the proverb contains'' a precept which the French observe in the first (howsoever in the second) part; for no people eat more bread, nor have better bread to eat, than they." BIRTHS EXTRAORDINARY.—At Aylesbury, on the Ist instant, Jane, wife of Daniel Jacock, shoemaker, Castle-street, of twin daughters. This being the fifth time of her giving birth to twins, and six single children, seven of the twins are now living and three of the others ; four of the former are under two years of age, who with their mother are likely to do well. SOLDIERS' CHILDREN.—It is admitted by all writers on Military Statistics, that—comparatively speaking— but few of the children of soldiers ever reach the age of matu rity ; and those who are so fortunate, are of inferior size and stamina to the children:of mechanics and agricultural labourers; while their moral character will not admit of a comparison.— Naval and Military Gazette. NECK AND - NECK.—Mr. David Hinchcliffe, an operative fancy weaver, residing at Mold-green, Hudders field, was married on the same day our Gracious Queen was united to Prince Albert ; his wife was delivered of a daughter the same day the Princess Royal was born ; and she also gave birth to a son the same day the Prince of Wales came into the world Cheltenham Examiner. Last week an inquest was held at :Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, on the body of Henry Cartwright. aged five years, a pauper in the workhouse. It appeared that the sur geon of the establishment had ordered the nurse to prepare a bath containing a solution of the sulphuret of potash, for curing the children of itch. Nineteen were immersed; the cuns , quence of which was that one died three days afterwards, and four others were more or less affected. The Jury returned a verdict accordingly, at the same time censuring the conduct of the surgeon as " injudicious and negligent." At an inquest held at Brighton on Tuesday, on the body of James Brieger, aged 38, servant at the Gloucester Hotel, the Jury returned a special verdict to the effect that the deceased died from being po soned through eating sprats." It happened sprats on the Friday previous had been abundant, but in a state not fit for human fond. A young woman, named Clotilde Falcoz, only 24 years of age, who had been seduced and abandoned by a young man, came from Paris a few days since to Noyers, in the Saone et Loire, aid there, in the hotel where she took up her abode, destroyed herself with the fumes of charcoal. She had brought a brazier and a supply of charcoal with her from Paris in her trunk. Before carrying her fatal design into exe cution, she wrote a long letter of four pages to her faithless lover, in which she begged that he would have her buried by the side of his owr. mother. The police arrested a receiver of stolen goods, named Linck, the morning before last, at his lodgings in the Rue du Renard-St. Sam eur, where a large quantity of articles fraudulently obtained were discovered. While the officers were searching the premises the belt rang, and a fashionably dressed young man came in to ask for M. Linek. The police agents smelt a rat, took the liberty of interrogat• ing, and at length of searching the person of the visitor, and found him in possession of a silver plate which he had stolen that morning, while breakfasting alter a masked ball, from the restaurateur's, in the Maison Doree, at the corner of the Rue Laffitte. He had formerly been a student, and is o respectab'e family . Both captives were transferred to the Prefecture of Po:ice. Mr. Evans, Chairman of the Carnarvon Conference, in his speech at the Crown and Anchor, on Thursday, stated that the assistance of the Ministers of the Gospel in the Prin cipality could not be obtained; but omitted to add, as was his intention, the words "at fir t." A chapel is opened in every district in North Wales for the friends of the good cause; and the Independent and Baptist Ministers now publicly declare themselve in its favour. From the six counties petitions have just been sent to Parliament, signed by nearlyso,ooo individuals. T h e Ki n g of Prussia left Laeken at half-past four; on. Saturday afternoon, for Antwerp, and as soon as he ar rived in that city went on immediately, without stopping, for Breda. A Berlin letter in the Swabian Mercury says : " The increasing intimacy between Prussia and England be comes daily matter of reflection for those w ho take an interest in State affairs. Although the number of resident English here is not great, there has been lately erected a church in which the English service is performed, and which is also at yo of our citizens." f Sweden, a ccor di ng t o a l e tt er o f th e 8 n Christiana, has d ec id e d u po n o p e ni ng th e Stor ttiheitnrhdlgel udiel King ntl7from many person, na and was to proceed accordingly to Christiana on the 6th or 7th instant. CORN.-LAWS.--At public meeting, convened for the purpose of taking into consideration Sir Robert Peel's mo tion on the Corn-laws, and which was held 3esterday at the King's Arms Tavern, Rhillip. lane, in the City, it was the all but-unanimous opinion of the meeting (there being but one hand held up for the contrary)—" That Sir R. Peel's proposed alteration of the Corn-laws is an insult to the people of this country." It was them proposed, and carried unanimously, That the thanks of this meeting be given to The Sun news paper, for its powerful, persevering, and untiring exertions in the cause of the suffering people." GENERAL BUZEN.—The Journal des Debats tells a singular story of a presentiment which occupied the late General's mind that he should inevitably die in the present year, 1842. He had three times a dream at the age of 19, prefiguring this, and in which he fully confided. The calum niations which have already made one victim, are likely to have another in the person of the General's widow, who, since she received the fatal news, has continued in the same spot weep ing, and refusing-all kind of sustenance. The betrothal of Prince Edward of Saxe Alten burg, and Princess Louisa of Reuss Greiz, eldest daughter of the reigning Prince Henry XIX. of Reuss, took place on the 20th ult., at the Palace of Greiz. A letter from Algiers says that the greatest part of tke summits of the Atlas are now covered with snow—in gene ral, only a few points remain white during the winter—and the aspect of the chain is very magnificent. The water in the pools near the town had been frozen, which was very unusual. A letter from Mostaganem, in the Moniteur Parisien says that offers of submission continue to be made by the na tive tribes, and that a chief named Babibdes Hadji, who is of mush religious influence in the province, has assured the French authorities Mat almost all the tribes are ready to aban don Abd-el-Kader. The Saint Etienne papers state that the Marseilles mails are totally unable to get over the hill and through the wood, called De la Republique, near that town, and are obliged to go round by Lyons. On the 28th ult., the mail was de tained forty-eight hours in this passage by the snow, which was drifted between the hills to a depth unparalleled, except in the Alps. The continued labour of forty-eight men was required to disengage the carriage. GALLANT CONDUCT.—Lord Frederick Beau clerk, who was a passenger on board the Merlin steam-packet, and on the point of starting for Liverpool, from Kingstown, on the night of the 7th, at half past ten, r.m.
