'There were a few points in the debate on Monda3 night, which we think worthy of notice. First, Lord DEN:stAN is reported, in several Journals, - to have said that'no State ought to enforce within itself the laws of another State, which it regarded as unjust.. The Lord Chief Justice instanced the case of the United States, which refused to give up a person accused of forgery, be cause those States regarded forgery as a crime whiCh ought not to be punished with death. Now, if laws are not to boenforced because they are not just, on account ..of the moral obligation naturally imposed on every man to be just, it naturally follows that neither ought such :laws to be obeyed. We, therefore, add the authority of a living Chief Justice to the authority of Chief Justice 131...icasToNE, to justify our assertion that th,e Corn-law is of no validity or authority whatever. It may be said the law-makers or law interpreters art the only persons to decide what law should be obeyed. This we deny, because it would place in the breasts of the taw-makers the power of making and of deciding the authority . and the validity of laws. Who shall de cide, then—if the law-makers are not—whether a lavk be just or unjust ? We answer, with PALEY, every man for himself. In fact, to do so is an inalienable function of the human mind, which no tyranny can destroy. The Corn-law is unjust, and every man who regards it ae 'unjust has in that circumstance a sufficient warrant, on the authority of two Chief Justices, not to obey it, if he •choose to run the risk of disobedience. • Another point in the debate on Monday, worthy of ob servation, was a remark of Lord STANLEY'S, that some thing must be done to prevent the ruinous competition of phcaters with one another, at Demerara. That asser tion implies that the Noble Lord and his colleagues will endeavour to prevent a similar ruinous competition which takes place at home. To what degree that will extend the sphere of the functions of the Government, is one thing worthy of notice ; to what degree the Noble Lord implies, by his wish to restrain competition, that he is a disciple of Mr.. Owr.z.4. or a Socialist, is another point which cannot be undeserving of public notice. The activity of the, Noble Lord in such a direction, will very soon place every portion of society under the Government, ;and compel it to provide for the subsistence and happi ness of the people in parallelograms. Those who applaud the Socialist activity of the Noble Lord, if we do not mistake, w ill soon h av e re ason to repent of their hasty approbation. They must already begin to be aware that there is a mislchievous as well as a beneficial activity; which is the characteristic of Lord STANLEY'S exertions, we. need not specify. He has on several occasions, from the beginning of his career in Ireland to his Registration Bill, established his own character. Ur. GLADSTONE, to notice another point, was cour teous beyond anything to gentlemen out of doors who have applied to him on the subject of his proposed Co- 'tonic duties, ,With whom he said he was in communi cation. To them he defers, hi s and means not to carry for ward Plait without their approbation. Bravo, Mr. GLADSTONE. But you will have to extend this, defer ence. Do the Tories suppose that they will be allowed to defer to JENKINS, the owner of rotten ships, or TOMIUNS, the dealer in Canadian wheat, and be allowed to refuse the least deference to HODGE, the agri cultural labourer, or BROOKS, the cotton-spinner ? They will not ? and when Mr. GLADSTONE avowed that he would study the wishes of JENKINS, the rotten ship owner, he imposed the obligation on the Government also to ask the approbation and study the wishes of HODGE and BROOKS. Proud as his colleagues are, they must do the bidding of the swinish multitude, as they and their journals have chosen to call the people. To be the instrument of such a multitude is a degradation the Tories have imposed on themselves. In the House of Commons last night, the public were taught a remarkable lesson, which will not soon be forgotten. A great landowner, Mr. ORMSBY GORE, openly declared, though the man was so confused that it was difficult to make out what he meant, that the present Bread-tax amounted to ss. 9d. per year on every person. Every man, woman, and child, he said, consumed a quarter of corn per annum ; the duty paid on corn, on an average, he said, has been ss. 9d. per quarter,--consequently every person has paid, and pays, ss. 9d. per year as a Bread-tax. As Mr. WARD said, the Corn-law is a Poll-tax to that amount. The Poll-tax, according to Mr. ORMSBY GORE is only about three-halfpence a week for each person, and lw ridiculed the idea of such a sum being of any importance to the people, or the cause of their distress. It is nothing, of course, to a landowner of 30,000/. per year, but to the man who has to live on ss. a week, and has a wife and family of six children—the case of many weavers—it is something more than the sixth part of his income. At present a great multitude of the people are almost starving, and Mr. ORMSBY GORE, Sir PEEL, and the landowners insist on retaining a law which takes away one-sixth of their income to swell the landlords' rent. Let us suppose that Mr. Oamsnir GORE has 30,0001. a-year ; ss. 9d. is about the tenth part of the average price of wheat, and, consequently, the tenth part of the landlords' income is raised by levying this tax of three halfpence per week on the bread of every poor man, poor woman, and poor child of the empire. About 3,0001.. a-year of this man's income, then, and of the in come of the landlords, is the produce of the Bread-tax; ai he and the rest of the landlords have the astounding impudence - to stand up in the Legislature and insist on making and maintaining a law which adds in this pro portion to their wealth, while - it takes away one-sixth of the income of many a starving family. Which class can best spare this tax, we shall not even hint; but if the landowners are lost to all sense of justice, let them be charitable and generous, and fling back that which Mr. ORMSBY GORE implied is as a miserable pittance, to the starving people. The Tory press has frequently spoken of Mr. O'CoN NELL as the Big Beggarman, who takes a penny from the serving man, and a half-penny from the labouring man, and a farthing from the beggar. Mr. OR3ISBY GORE, says, that the income of the landlords is partly made up by taking farthings from beggars, half-pence from labourers, and pennies from those who have large fami lies. Between Mr. O'CONNELL, whom the Tory press describes as completely disgraced by accepting for useful services the voluntary and honourable offerings of his generous countrymen, and the proud landlords of Eng land, there is only one difference ; they extort by law the penny and the farthing tribute per head, which the cheerfully give to their Liberator and benefactor. . _ E very pos ,'--britip §;me new feature of the' general indignation manife;:. -" /lOW against the new sliding and the system scale, but agalnst the 67:7 1 : 444.1 " 1 Ar 9 ttipglittni .. of which they are the especial gna: ""ns ' uo moans has made the latest demonstration, am; the least effective. At a meeting held there yes.:,_""Y' consisting of more than 8,000 persons of all ranks, a Nobleman was called to the chair, and an Alderman moved a resolution denouncing petitions to the two Houses of Parliament as " farces," and calcu lated only to add insult to suffering. The resolu tion was carried by acclamation. Another no less re- markable, as it is the first of the kind carried unanimously at a general meeting, was moved by a Chartist. It demanded the Charter, the whole Charter, and nothing but the Charter, and, strange to say, every hand was held up for it. Is Sir B. PEEL then pre pared to go on with a measure which does not even satisfy one-half of his own party, and which is stirring up from south to north the worst feelings, not against him and the DUKE, and their Cabinet only, but against both Houses of Parliament, and even the Throne itself ? Will they not learn wisdom by experience, and grant at once the reasonable demands of a starving people, before rebellious hunger and hopeless despair Jrive millions to abhor the very names of Parlia ment and Constitution ? The next step probably will be to petition the Throne. Such a course would have ten-fold mere effect than- cart loads of petitions sent to men who seem determined to stand by their class: Her AfAJESTY cannot fail to be moved by the cries of her people, and if the olfi,N) of First Magistrate be not an empty name, her earnest entreaties will not be made in vain. The Report of the Commissioners appointed by the Lords of the Treasury, to inquire into file Exchequer bill fraud has been submitted to Parliament. It forms a blue book of 138 pages, the marrow of which, how ever, may easily be comprised within the limits of a leading article. The Report which, apart from the evidence, occupies fourteen pages, establishes the im portant fact that facilities for the grossest frauds existed in the Exchequer Bill• Officefrauds which it was impos sible for the public either to detect or guard against. The absence of sufficient internal checks, and the incom pleteness of general supervision, afforded the late " Se nior Clerk," Mr. BEAUMONT SMITH, abundant op portunities for the commission of frauds to any extent. The words of the Report are most explicit : " The sole direction of the quantity of paper to be manufa red, and of the paper to be printed, and of the plates to engraved, and the custody of the moulds of :,he plates, of the paper unprinted and printed, of the press seal and counterfoils, as well us the entire prepara tion of the Exchequer. Bills, were entrusted to the un xintrolled discretion and integrity of the Senior Clerk of the department in which the Bills were prepared, and, during his absence, of his assistant-clerks, unchecked ' by any regular examination of the stores or of the trades men's bills, or by any regular periodical destruction of surplus printed paper, worn-out plates, or counterfoils." Other temptations to the commission of fraud were constantly held out to the Senior Clerk. The Comptroller-General, Lord MONTEAGLE, admits in his evidence that nothing could be more loose and irregular than the way in which he conducted the business of his office. His Lordship often signed bills at his private residence, .at the Privy Council, in the House of Lords, Ind wherever else it pleased the Senior Clerk to send them to him in a despatch-box, of which the only protec tion was that he retained one key and the Senior Clerk mother. After reading the evidence the public wonder - will not be so much that Mr. BEAUMONT SMITH was a rogue, but that he was not one to an hundred times a greater extent than lie has yet been proved to be. There have been occasions when he has had Exchequer Bills, in this loose way,. to an amount exceeding seven millions sterl ing in his possession, without official let or hindrance to hia dishonest appropriation of them. Two important facts then are established by the Re port :—Firstly, that the business of the Exchequer-office has been scandalously conducted for a long series of years ; and, secondly, that the holders of the Forged Exchequer bills are fully entitled to have them replace') by good bills, or the full amount of the sums for which they were drawn in other Government securities. The recipients of the forged bills have no right to suffer for the scandalous mismanagement of the officers of her Ma jesty's Government appointed to superintend the business of a department so important as that of the Exchequer. The improvements recommended in the Exchequer Bill-office by the Commissioners are obvious and com mon-place enough. A superior style of engraved plates— mechanical means of distinguishing impressions—and a closer connection between the Office of Issue and the Bank of England, occupy the most prominent place. In conclusion, we may remark that the Report has disappointed us. There were more rogues than two or three connected with the Exchequer forgeries, and we expected that the Report would have afforded some clue to their discovery. On the contrary, the Report really looks as if there was an anxiety on the part of the Commissioners to draw a veil of oblivion over the past. In the list of the wit nesses examined we cannot put our finger upon the name of a single Stockbroker. None of the City people were examined who were at all likely to supply any clew to the elucidation of Mr. BEAU MONT SMITH'S Stock Exchange transactions. This is a point which we cannot suppose will escape the penetration of the House of Commons. There ought to be no hushing up of a crime by which national credit has been injured, and the public robbed to an extent as yet incalculable. The present Report may do, so far as concerns the future management of the Exchequer Bill office ; but we want one which shall supply such details of its past mismanagement as are required to satisfy the ends of justice: The United States Go; ernment has a crow to pluck with the Republic of Mexico. Should extremities be had recourse to, there can be but little difficulty in de termining to which Power shall belong the better portion of the plumage. In addition to the old grounds of complaint, we find it stated that the Santa Fe expedition, treacherously seized by the orders of General SANTA ANNA, was composed, for the most part, of American citizens, and that on their march into the interior, three of the prisoners, being unable to walk, were taken out and brutally shot by the Mexican soldiery. We are not surprised that the report of such a cowardly atrocity has roused the indignation of the North American people. None but wretches who would disgrace the uniform of a bandit's gang, could participate in the murder of three unresist ing human beings, guilty of no crime, charged with no offence, and so overcome with fatigue and sickness as to be unable to walk a step unassisted. And ! 'yet it must be of such cowardly villains that the Mexican army is composed, since General SANTA ANNA expressed neither abhorrence of, nor wonder at, this murder, but, on the contrary, promoted the officers under whose eyes, and in whose presence, it was perpetrated. The Southern States are furious against Mexico. In illustration of this statement, we quote the following extract of a letter from New Orleans, published in.a New York daily paper of the 24th ult.:— The first act of Santa Anna's Administration is stained with the blood of Americans. All is anarchy, treason, pillage, and death in the capital. How long shall these barbarians be suffered to de. secrate such a country ? How long will the Government of the United States suffer the laws of nature and of nations to be out raged by Mexican savages, and civil and political, and religious wars to ravage and desolate the land ? For twenty years past we have bad a treaty with this pusillanimous nation, and yet they owe us millions of dollars, which they cannot pay, and no American hardly is safe in passing through their country. Our Government should cause the great highway from Vera Cruz to Mexico to be kept always open, where hundreds and thousands of our citizens desire to travel, and hold the Mexican nation responsible for every American who touches his foot upon their shore. The distance to the capital from the coast is short of SOO miles, not farther than Wheeling from Baltimore, and about four or five days' jour ney. and yet it is hardly safe or possible to reach that capital. But the Anglo-Saxons are on their march, and freedom will soon be proclaimed upon the house.tops of this deluded and oppressed people. A mine has been sprung which will reach the walls of Mexico,. and a blast louder than that which caused the walls of Jericho to fall down, will soon be heard upon the outer walls of this devoted city. Tile fatal termination of the Santa Fe expedi. tion, and the indignities heaped upon the American Consul and citizens, has produced tiu greatest sensation, while the blood of our slaughtered fellow countrymen calls aloud for vengeance. General Coombe, of Kentucky, whose son was in the expedition, and the part. nor of Kendall, of the Picayune, have gone post-haste to Mexico, and will return with their friends, or share their fate. If a hair of their head, however, is injured, the days of Mexico are num bered. Twenty thousand gallant spirits are now ready, " armed and equipped as the law directs," who will rush across' the valley of the Mississippi, nor slumber, nor sleep, till they shall proclaim liberty and religious freedom in the Temples of the Montezumas. General Houston, the President of Texas, is disposed for peace; but if the war.cry is sounded, he will lead where any dare to fol. low, nor stay his march till every drop of American blood has bean atoned for, and his treacherous and pusillanimous friend, Santa Anna, paid with his own life the penalty of his bond. The Treaty of Commerce between Great Britain and Persia, signed at Teheran on the 28th of October, has just been presented to Parliament. It has one merit, rarely found in Treaties of any description—it is exceed ingly brief. By leaving out the preamble, it might be printed on that nautical decoration of a skipper's time piece, a watch-paper, or engraved on the lid of a snuff-box. We like it all the better for this. A commercial treaty clogged with a catalogue of excepted articles, is at all times a nuisance, and very often a hindrance to trade. Our treaty with Persia consists of but two articles, which are as follows : ROYAL SURREY THEATRE. E a t en oe novelty.

ARTICLE 11. As it is necessary, far the purpose of attending to the affairs of the merchants of the two parties respectively, that from both t, vernments commercial agents should be appointed to reside in stated places ; it is therefore arranged that two commercial agents on the part of the British Government shall reside, one in the capital, and one in Tabreez, and in those places only, and on this condi. tion, that he who shall reside at Tabreez, and he alone, shall be honoured with the privileges of Consul-General; and as for a soles of years a Resident of the British Government has resided at Bushire, the Persian Government grants permission that the said Resident shall reside there as heretofore. And, in like manner, two commercial agents shall reside on the part of the Persian Go vern►uent, one in the capital of London, and one in the port of Bom bay, and shall enjoy the same rank and privileges which the com mercial agents of the British Govermneut shall enjoy in Persia. The question of the Reform of the Chamber of Depu ties excites comparatively little interest in the political circles of the French metropolis. Whether it be that such Reform is deemed impracticable, or that our volatile neighbours tire of their own projects, almost as soon as they adopt them, certain it is that hardly a syllable ap pears in the Journals about AL GANNERON'S proposal for excluding paid functionaries from the representation of the French people. Another phase of the same Reform question comes before the Chamber of Deputies this week. It has re ference to the electors, and not t 3 the elected. It de mands such an extension of the suffrage as shall include all Professors of Law and Physic ; members of the In stitute; and officers on half-pay, not paying the requisite amount of taxes. The object of such a measure is to secure the representation of the mind, as well as of the money of France. We anticipate its rejection by a large majority. The classes interested are too dissociated to make them formidable to the Government, and the Mi nisters must be sensible that they could anticipate, no thing but opposition from such a quarter. In the repre sentation of money, and money only, lies the security of such a corrupt Government as that of France. Madrid letters tell us that with the exception of the Duke of OSUNA. and the Marquis of SANTIAGO, none of the Spanish Grandees attended the last grand ball given by the British Ambassador. This news has cost their wives and daughters more uneasiness, than it is ever likely to do us. We quarrel not with the Grandees of any country for declining a dance, even though a Queen were to set them the example. Solecisms in • manners, and instances of bad taste ap pertain too much to every class. to blame them more in a Peer than in a coal•porter. Moreover, we happen to care very little about what regard the Grandees of Spain may have for the representative. of .this country. The power of the Grandees, like the power of the POPE in Spain, has become a recollection, and nothing more. 'While the Spanish Government and the Spanish people repose confidence in the friendship of our Minister, and of England, we can afford to laugh at the exclusive impertinences of Spain's degenerate and powerless Grandees. A letter from Madrid mentions the death of Lieut.- General the Marquis DE CASTELLDORIUS, Grandee o Spain, and Senator for the province of Catalonia. DEATH OF GEORGE BELL, ESQ. We regret to announce the death of this enterprisin g Scotsman, who expired on the 28th of pctaber last, at Acoyapa, a small town in Central America. Mr. Bell, whose connection with the " Vixen" case is matter oflegis lative notoriety, had accompanied an exploratory expe dition to the river Bluefields, along the frontier of Cen tral America. Whilst he was engaged in peaceable communication with them, intelligence reached the au thorities of that State, that the Governor of the Fort of St. Juan Nicaragua (subject to its authority) had been Seized as a hostage by the Commandant ofthe British settle ment situated on'the Mosquito shore, on the banks of which he was the proprietor of a large tract of valuable land. It'appears that, with four countrymen, he had ascended the Bluefields to the distance of upwards of 100 miles, for the purpose of entering into commercial intercourse with the native Indians inhabiting the settlement at Belize ; and in revenge for this act, Mr. Bell and his companions were captured, marched fOr nearly seventy miles into the interior, and put in prison. Soon after his imprisonment Mr. Bell fell a victim to the combined effects of hardship, unhealthiness of climate, and vexation of mind. His giwanions survived their captivity, and, we believe, are now on their homeward voyage. LORD CARDIGAN. —The late Adjutant of the 11th Hussars has contradicted the statement of the United Service Gazette, that he had resigned in consequence of Lord Cardigan having required him "to make memoranda, pri vately, of officers who absented themselves from evening stables." Lord Cardigan, he says, never required him to re port officers in the manner alluded to. The Duke of Wellington was loudly hooted and hissed, on his way to the House of Peers, last evening ; and Sir Robert Peel, who was not recognised until his approach towards the House of Commons, was greeted with similar ex pressions of public disapprobation.

The church is situate on a hill, little more than half a mile from the town; and in less than a quarter of an hour after the congregation had left the church in the fore noon, it- was discovered to be in a blaze in the organ loft.

OF NEWS AND iNtigtr 1 4; ptuton, " Who runs piety read." FOREIGN. The French Government continues its persecution of the Press. M. Lefranceis, responsible editor of the Dix Neuvieme Siecle, a Paris paper, which had ceased to appear during two months, was sentenced by the Court of Correctional Police, on Saturday, to five months' imprisonment, and 2,000 f. fine, for publishing that paper without having previously deposited in the Treasury the 100,0001. required as a security. In Mom the Gazelle d'Auvergne appears to have attracted the displeasure of Government ; no fewer than four prosecutions are to be carried on against it in the course of the Session of the Assizes commencing on the 15th inst. Why does not the Press petition the Chambers to restore to It the pro tection of the censorship ? . The Commerce states that the principal members of the corps diplomaiique assembled on Saturday at the British Embassy. for the purpose, it was believed, of considering the course to be pursued, in consequence of the hesitation of the French Cabinet to ratify the Convention relative to the right of search. The Moniker Parisien announces that the French naval divi sion, under Admiral La Susse, was on the 19th ult. at Ourlac, consisting of the ships of war Inflexible (flag-ship), Friedland, Jemmapes, Sante Petri, Ville de Marseilles, Generoux, and the steamer Acheron. The Court of Cessation in Saturday's sitting, after hearing the counsel on both sides, set aside the judgment of ttie Court of Assizes of Maine and Loire, last November, againt Ledru Rcllin, the Deputy and Advocate. A new trial is ordered, by the Court of Appeal, to take place at the Court of Assizes of Mayence. M. Ledru Rollin s it will be remembered, had been sentenced to four months' imprisonment, and a fine of 3,000 f., for a seditious libel in a speech uttered by him to the constituency of Sarthe, who elected him in place of the late Gamier Pages. The National says that several of the political prisoners of Mont St. Michel—Barhes, Martin, Renard, Blanque, and others—have been detected in an attempt to escape from confinement. The plan was well conceived, but it was discovered at the moment of execu. tion, and Barba.; wa► severely wounded. A letter from Madrid of the 6th inst. thus sums up the only The almost endless discussion upon the Address still continues. The gen iu s of malice, of news received from that capital;—" in trigue, and procrastination, would seem to have made this debate peculiarly its own. The evil, however, is now concentrated to almost a point, and a day or two must tell whether it is to end in the healthy reaction of the Chamber or the death of the Ministry. The discussion has now arrived at the fifth clause of the Address, containing the censure on the Government for having procbiimed Barcelona in a state of siege, and to which the whole battle is now reduced. With respect to' States of Siege' there was no difference of opinion between the Cabinet and the most extreme Members of the Opposition ; the tell question was whether circumstancesjusti fled the Government or not in having recourse to that measure. They had, it was true, violated the law, but saved the State, and asked fora Bill of Indemnity." Letters from Kingston, Jamaica, speak of riots in that town, in consequence of the authorities endeavouring to suppress the most noisy and uproarious celebrations of the negroes at Christmas. The mob attacked the police, and the riots were not suppressed until the Riot Act had been read, and several of the rioters shut by the military. PAR.ZIANIENTAILY. In the Lords last night, after the Royal Assent had been given to the Appropriation Bill, there was a little sharp skirmish on the Corn.laws, on the presentation of petitions. Lord Radnor showed (and this is a general opinion) that the addition made by Sir R. Peel to the towns whence the averages ate collected will lower them, some say ss. per quarter, and consequently raise the price at which wheat is now imported, paying Is. duty, from 735. to 78s. In the Commons, Sir William Rie endeavoured to exculpate himself from a charge made against his veracity, by quoting a letter from the Lord Justice Clerk in Edinburgh, but it was observed that the return originally moved for, and which the colleagues of the Learned Lord had refused, would have been his best excul pation. The debate en the Corn-laws was renewed by Sir William Clay, and terminated by an adjournment, after Captain Hamilton, Mr. Ward, Mr. Labouchere, and several other Members had spoken, by Sir James Graham at One o'Clock. The debate was heavy, but many useful facts were brought forward. It will be renewed this evening. PTIBIAC OPINION. The Advertiser, taking Lord John Russell's speech in the Com, mons last night, in connexion with the party whom he represents, considers it " little better than an advance in the bidding for that support out of doors, without which neither faction can sustain itself within," The Chronicle states that Lord John Russell's " able and elo quent speech" is a powerful exposure of Sir Robert Peel's " Do nothing policy, which all the acuteness and skill of Mr. Gladstone did not enable him to defend." The Times expresses itself to the etnct that, although Lord John Russell has taken the lead in opposing the Ministerial measure for the alteration of the Corn-laws, the debate of last night clearly esta blished the fact that, between the Noble Lord and her Majesty's Ministers there is really no difference of principle whatever on this subject." I'he Post eulogises Sir Robert Peel for having—in his Corn.law speech—" dared to make a statement which he knew would not at first be popular with either side of the House ; but which he be lieved would soon acquire the favour of the honest and judicious, on account of its ski'ful appreciation of what it was fair and pru. dent to do, under all the circumstances of the case." The Herald, in answer to Lord John Russell's objection to the maximum of the Ministerial scale, because in 'effect, it is prohibi. tory, replies, "but at what average is it prohibitory ? Nut until wheat is under fifty shillings a quarter—a price barely remunerative to d o ,;:,stic agriculture, and indicative of ability to do without foreign importa:.!"nr." MONEY--TRADE—COMMERCE. At a meeting of the London and Greenwich Railway Proprietors held on Monday at the Lpnclon Tavern, it appeared from the Report that the works were progresslog, and fitly.six carriages on the line would be shortly replaced by others Pf a better construction. The receipts on the trafflir department, did not warrant a dividend ; the balance in hand, after all dodoctions, was 9311. Os. 3d. On Friday night last the gross amount of artisan paupers, and their dependents, in Paisle y, numbered 17,535 individuals. Land_ louts as welt as tenants are to be found on the list , all subsi s ting on charity. Up to Saturday evening no outbreak had taken place, with the exception that is stack or wheat had been destroyed by an incendiary, who is in custody. On Monday the Itche Committee was to meet to petition Government tp transmit direct an order to sanetton a county eisessment. • Since the selection of the eighteen rich-finished Paisley shawls by her Majesty, at the period of the christening, the demand on the houses of that town has increased greatly, and daily orders come to the manufacturers " for goods of the same description as those selected by the Queen." A spur has thus been given to the trade. COMMEROSAL REFORM. A letter, datOl Monday, from ftipiplersfield, states that Sir Ro. bert Peel's plan, on its arrival in that towp, was cried down by Whig, Tory, and Radical. Preparations were making in several places to burn him in effigy. Several houses were to be seen in the town, with placards in the window, In large printed type—" No me etings were to be ca ll e d , a t w hi c h s t rong reso l u ti ons more t a xes paid here till the Corn-laws are repealed." And, on Eximarzorezzi t n va . ownouldiedgned. The election for the borough of Dsmion is fixed for Monday next. Lord Bernard is at present the candidate in the room of Mr. Jackson. • MAW AND POLICE. A murder has just been committed - inthe market town of Lien fair-Caerinion, Montgomeryshire, by Evan Davies, upon his brother Robert. The deceased, who 6 911 Pars to have been of dissolute ha bits, came home intoxicated on the Sunday night, and abused his mother and sisters; his brother remonstrated with him on his con duct, when words ensued, and Evan stabbed him with a shoemaker's knife, with which he was then cutting bread. He was afterwards discovered between two stacks of hay, and committed on Thursday last, to take his trial at the lieu Montgomery Assizes. At Clerkenwell on Monday, a lad 17 years of age, of the name of Martin, and a ppren tice to Mr. Salmon, linen-draper, Holborn, was charged with robbing his master of between 3001 . and 400 /. , and o ther property to a considerable amount. On being arrested at the Globe Inn, Portsmouth, where the young thief was regaling himself, the policeman found in his pockets 951. in notes, 901. in gold, and 281. 6s. 6d. in silver. He was remanded till Thursday. At the same office Joseph Gamier was charged by Dr. Worth ington, editor of the Foreign Quarterly Review, with wilfldly break ing a pane of glass, value 3s. 6d. It appeared the defendant had written 'an article for th e Review which he could neither get in. serted nor restored, and he : therefore thought he would refresh the editor's memory by smashing his window, He was discharged on payment of costs and fees. The floor of the Magistrates' office at Sedberch, in the West Riding of York, during the sitting of the Revefendi T. Airey and J. gedgivjok, on a case of assault committed in the neighbourhood, and which front its flagrant nature had attracted great crowds, fell in and precipitated 159 individuals a depth of 20 feet. No life, on investigation, was found to be lost, but a young man named Chris, topher Gosling, had his thigh and leg fractured, and one of the prisoners was severely cut on the head; 20 others are also danger ously Injured. Mr. Justice Cresswell, the new Judge, has, since his acceptance of the ermine, returned all his briers, fees, and retainers in causes not heard. This is said to be contrary to established practice. If so, the practice might be characterised as downright robbery. A middle-aged man, named Lewis, was brought before Mr. Raw linson, at Marylebone, and fined 20s. for proceeding further on the Birmingham Railway than he had paid for. He fell asleep, ac. cording to his own account, and when he reached London he had no money to pay the additional fare. rnvz ARTS. The completion of the Dom, or Cathedral of Cologne, which will be the most gorgeous specimen of mediaeval German architecture, has received a new impetus by the formation of an auxiliary Com mittee in Bavaria. The idea of having this great edifice completed by the co-operation of all German nations, is said to have emanated frog the King of Prussia himself. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. It is hoped that Sir Alexander Burnes has escaped, and is con cealed by the Kuzzilbashes, who are believed to be th• friends of Dost Mahomed : this hope is held out by a letter of Major HoL land's; an especial friend of Sir Alexander's, addressed from Bora• bay on the 21st December, to Dr. Burnes In England. THEATRICAL. At the English Opera-house, on Monday, M. Dantonnet, who was playing in the orchestra ors the trombone, was suddenly seized with a fit, and staggered backward; he was, however, recovered in time to make his appearance late in the evening. The Commerce, alluding to the marriage of Mr. C. Kean with Miss Elien Tree, calls them the two greatest comedians that The Queen Dowager , England now possesses." 30011.11.33L36. ire, will pass some time at Clifton early in the ensuing summer.

ANTI-CORN-LAW CONFERENCE. At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Anti-Corn-law Conference, held at Brown's Hotel, Palace-yard yesterday morning, P. A. Taylor, Esq., in the chair, the following resolution was unanimously agreed to, via.:-- " That from the necessity which exists that the members of the Executive Committee should return to their respective localities, to assist in the various measures in progress to promote the total and immediate repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws, it is deemed adviseable that this Committee should terminate its sittings as early as possible ; and it is therefore agreed that, at the close of this meet ing, the Executive Committee do dissolve."

It is rumoured in well informed circles, that Lord Panmure is to be Lord High Commissioner of the next General Assem bly, which meets at Edinburgh in the ensuing spring. His Lordship's well known attachment to the Kirk of Scotland, eminently qualify him to be her Majesty's representative. The appointment does infinite credit to Sir Robert Peel, who has fixed on a nobleman who will entertain the Scotch clergy in a style of splendid hospitality, worthy of the Bench of Bishops, and seldom witnessed in the metropolis of Scotland. We understand that Patrick Robertson, Esq., the eminent bar, rister, is to be his Lordship's purse-bearer; a better selec tion could not have been made. It will gratify the ' clergy, and convince them that conviviality is to be the order of the day. During the sitting of the Assembly the Lord High Commissioner will occupy the ancient Palace of Holyrood, which his purse-bearer has already designated the Royal manse, facetiously recommending that a general fast should be h e ld before the arrival of the High Commissioner, his Lordship being determined to act With the strictest impartiality, and to 4, veto " any proceeding on the part ox th,e Chgrch, whie,li might tend to keep aloof the moderate party, or any party, from the good cheer which will be prepared for them in the Royal manse. Alas ! old Neil Gow is no more, but Lord Panmure's excel lent private band is practising for the occasion ; and Dr. Chal mers need not kspair he will have the " Reel of Bogie" to his heart's content., and 6:iepoise-bearer fOr his rptPq! - Robert Holland, Esq., M.P. for Hastings; has paired off with Viscount Eastnor, from the lst of March till the Easter recess. ,ow lying in the London Dock a ship named the •Ad#la, of Clityaquil (Republic of the Ecuador), the first vessel freak that distant country which has ever, we believe, arrived in our waters. NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TUE , DAY EVENING. A fair business was transacted to-day in tv e public securi li - ties, and prices were rather buoyant.

We inserted yesterday, in another part of The Sun, an ar ticle relating to the internal affairs of Brazil. in which so many parties here begin now to feel an increaing interest. It has at tract ed some curiosity, however, and our attention has been called to the circumstance, that of the two descriptions of Brazil Stook in the London market, the one bearing the higher rate of, interest is at the lowest price. The new Stock is, in fact nearly 10 per cent. _lower than the old, although when the new loan was made, it came out at the same price as the others. By some means or other, however, it seems to have been kept back, and to this day the brokers here, when ordered by their country clients to purchase Brazil Stock, n variably give the preference to the old bonds, although th e security for the payment of the interest on both is preci,ely tne same, as has been acknowledged repea'edly by the Brazilian Legislative Chamter and lie Ambas adore here It has ben stated that some arrangement will be effected, by which new bonds en b.-, issued for all tha Brazilian debt, without injury to the claims of any party.
