'The outline of an Orange Bill for tranquillizing licland was given last night in the House of Com tflous by Col. TRENCH. We trust our Readers will peruse the Gallant Officer's plan with the at tention which it deserves. His first measure would be to suppress the Catholic Association. The c lisiefobjection to this is its utter impossibity(except in one way—by granting Emancipation), and in that respeCt it is an excellent companion for his second remedy, which would be for Government to give employment to the poor—that is to the greater part of the population, for where is the Money to come from ? The third is an admirable Measure—the education of the people, though if that implies enlargement of the mind, we hope the Orangemen will take advantage of it. The fourth clause would be the encouragement of agriculture. Th e fifth would be to pay the Catholic Clergy, because, as the Hon. Member wittily observed, that would be a golden link between them and the Government. The sixth is nothing short of changing the Elective Franchise. But the seventh is the best of all and that is the appointment of Governors for, each county in Ireland, who, we presume, are to enforce, with some ten thousand bayonets, the six preceding 'remedies. Does not, this speak volumes as to the condition of Ireland? Does it not prove that the Irish are no citizens, but rather subjects of this empire ? A newly-conquered Province would scarcely require a Governor in 'very district. But it is useless to talk of it. There is an infatuation about those Orange 410u which looks like a visitation of Heaven, 411 C 1 during the prevalence of the disorder, there is no reasoning with them. , We do not envy the individual who brings Bituself gratuitously into collision with Mr. Pr-iucETT. Colonel TRENCH must have wished himself at an Orange Club, instead of in ' a Place where there there is freedom of debate. He , uld not have enjoyed Mr. PLUNKETT'S earnest manner of disclaiming all sympathy inhis feelings, 14 ()r the complete confutation of the charge which that faction have been pleased to make, in con sequence of Mr. PLUNKETT'S quotation of `` Ir a leonum," in his last speech. We cannot dismiss this subject without re l'),arkivlg on the manly and handsome manner in '"ich Mr. PEEL came forward to take his share any responsibility which might attach to the Catholi c Government for not having put down the A ssoc i at i on .

This ha s been l an d , 1 1 Prussia in its late commercial treaty with En g_ a l l '1 which its navigation and foreign commerce will, in Probability, be greatly extended.

The English Gel; vernment must be inclined equally to exclude the Ameri cans from its colonies, any to give the advantages of it to the Europeans, especially the States of Northern Ger many, whose markets are open to the English, or to which they have easy access, by the lowness of the import duties. Germany, too, produces all the articles that the West In dies want, equal in quality, and many of them superior to those of North America : the prices, too, at least with respect to corn, are not to the disadvantage of Ger many. A favourable opportunity seems, therefore, to have arrived for us to acquire a great portion of this West Indian trade. May the German mer chants not neglect this important conjuncture in the commerce of the world. If the Rhine were free, the West and South of Germany might participate in this commerce, but the monopoly of Holland is in the way. The loss which the Rhenish provinces suffer though this exclusion from tranamarine commerce is proved by the great differ ence between the prices here and in the Netherlands. Germany is under the moat oppressive, we may say, die. graceful dependence on the Netherlands. Mr. CHARLES GRANT proposed, last night, in a Committee of the whole House on the Corn Bill, the introduction of a clause to em power his MAJESTY in Council to prohibit, under particular circumstances, the Importation of Corn and Meal from countries which do not act with reciprocity towards the British nation in commercial intercourse. After some discus sion, the clause was agreed to, with an under standing that it was to be taken into further consideration on Monday. In our Chancery Report will be found an ob servation by Mr. HEALD, imputing that the re port of a case, "DEACON v. DEACON," was in serted in our Journal by desire of one of the Soli citors ofthe cause. This we distinctly deny. The case would have appeared in our Paper en Saturday but for want of room—the matter, of necessity, stood over for Monday. The injunction was cx parte, but the case was fairly reported. Mr. HEALD omitted this material circumstance in giving an ex-parte version of the case as far as we are con cerned, but this proceeded no doubt from his being misinformed on the subject. We had no other object in publishing the case than stating the truth—that is, giving a faithful report of what took place ; others would do well to follow our example. We understand that the Rev.

COLOURED COTTON. At an annual Cattle Show of the South Carolina AeTicultural Society, held on the 23d of February, a letter was read from Mr. J. W. Watson, dated at Guayaquil, accompanying a presen t of a parcel of cotton seed of a new kind, the product i on o f Peru. This cotton is naturally coloured ; the plant is perennial. It is raised from the seed in a kind of nursery, and after wards transplanted and set in rows. It grows to nearly the same height with the peach tree, and produces for five years. The writer is of opinion that it might be success fully cultivated in the United States. One variety of it is of a light brown colour, with a pretty good staple, and, in his opinion, would make excellent nanki.‘ens.—Nste York Enquirer.

George Eden, and - Lucy, Esq. were duly elected to serve in Par liament, for the borough of Fowey, and that neither the petition against their return, nor the opposition to it, was frivolous or vexatious. TILE DUBLIN ELECTION. The Committee resumed their sittings this day, wh en Mr. Adam observed, on the evidence produced on behalf of the petitioner, and opened Col. White's defence. The , only question at present before the Committee is the charge of bribery, of which, if they acquit Colonel White, they will then proceed to a scrutiny, which will occupy a long time. LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. GRANT V. GRANT.—NE =EAT REGNO. His Loansair, at the sitting of the Court at half-past ten, called on Mr. Hart to proceed to state what he had to say further in this case. Mr. HART should hays had no desire to have troubled the Court further, had it not been that the Court had intimated the writ against the defendant ought to be continued, but for a less sum than that for which it had originally issued ; and what he had to submit on the part of the defendant, Mr. Charles Grant, was, that as Sir Alexander Grant, who had obtained the writ could not succeed in sustaining the suit to the ex tent to which it had issued, it ought to be entirely quashed; or, that on the other hand, considering the terrible effect of this species of process, the plaintiff ought to abide by his order for better and for worse, and that the Court ought not to accommodate him, after the writ bad issued on his own oath, with going into the accounts, for the purpose of making out that though the writ could not be sustained to the extent to which it had issued, it was reasonable that it should be kept up for a reduced sum. The learned counsel then proceeded at considerable length to go through the circumstances of the case, which have been so often before the public, when he was inter rupted by Mr. SHADwELL observing that the course adopted by his learned friend was rather singular. He understood there was only one point to be spoken to, and he was pro ceeding through the whole case again. Mr. HART said he was under the controul of his Lord ship as to the mode in which he was to proceed. His LORDSIIIP was much obliged to Mr. Hart for the course he had adopted, for though•this was the third time of the case having been argued, yet so important was its nature, that he did not consider it a waste of time. • Mr. HART then proceeded, and concluded his observa tions by trusting that his Lordship would consider, under all the circumstances of the case, that the writ ought to be quashed. Mr. PEYLBERTON followed on the same side. Mr. SEADWELL, on the other side, contended, that Mr. Hart had not, in his opinion, made out a sufficient case to authorise the Court to set aside that process, which, ac cording to his motion, had been very properly granted. Mr. HART replied. His Lou.ostitr said, he would take home tile papers which he would read between this and Monday, on which (lay he would dispose of the matter. His LORDSIIIP said, he would go on with his judgment in Brown v. De Tastet, on Wednesday morning. OLD BAILEY-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Alum.) HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Edward Stewart was indicted for assaulting Samuel Reynolds, a gold highway, and t a ki ng f ro m his per son The prosecutor recommended him t o merc y ; but the o n watch,t he King'sehain seals, &e. Learned Judge shook his head, and no doubt remains that the prisoner will suffer the last sentence of the law. NON-ATTENDANCE OF PROSECUTORS AND WITNESSES. —The Court were above half an hour kept in waiting by the non-attendance of the witnesses. The list was read through, and not a single case was ready. The Learned Sergeant commented on the impropriety of such conduct, and declared that he would not allow expenses to any pro secutor or witness who did not answer when called upon. The LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE entered at this period, and expressed his concurrence in the intention of Mr. Sergeant Arabia. Notwithstanding this intimation, the Court was again kept waiting a considerable eine, and the Learned Judge stated that he would order the recognisance' of all persons so offending to be estreated. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SLitararrr.) Eliza Smith was indicted for stealing 25 sovereigns and two half sovereigns, the property of James Carter. It appeared that the prosecutor is a cattle. dealer, and that en Monday evening last, about nine o'clock, he met the prisoner, who is an unfortunate woman of the town, in Nlrest-street, Smithfield, and accompanied her to a house of ill-fame. He had in his possession about 291. ineove reigns and half sovereigns, which upon entering the house he took from his pocket and placed in his hat ; the pri soner observed this movement, and instantly snatched at the money, with which she succeeded in getting away before the prosecutor could take hold of her. The pri soner was apprehended and taken to St. Clement's watch.. house the same evening, and upon searching her person 25 sovereigns and two half-sovereigns were found concealed in -Liipocking. The prosecutor was sober, and swore posi ively to the prisoner's identity. There was no defence. Verdict.-- Guilty. (Before the RECORDER. Ann Blundel was indicted for stealing some bed-linen from a house in which she lodged. The offence was clearly proved, but it appeared from the evidence of the witnesses that the prisoner was in great distress. The prisoner acknowleged her guilt, but stated in exte nuation that she had applied to the parish for relief, which was not granted until her distress became so urgent that she was driven to the necessity of pawning the articles in ques tion to preserve herself from starvation. The itircoardra said, that the proper course for the pri soner in her necessity would have been to apply to a magis trate, instead of resorting to a theft. The Jury recommended the prisoner to mercy, and the Recorder sentenced her to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for two months. John Lewis was indicted for stealing a silk pocket handkerchief from H. Wairing. The prosecutor was passing through Milk-alley, War dour-street, on Monday last, when he felt some one's hand in his pocket, and immediately afterwards missed his pocket handkerchief. A person who happened to be passing by immediately pointed out the prisoner, in whose possession the handkerchief was found. The prisoner was stated to be a lad of respectable con nexions, and hitherto to have sustained an irreproachable character. The Jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to the merciful consideration of the Court. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GAME There was a good supply at tl trade was rather dull.

BURNING HlLL.—Extract of a letter, dated Weymouth, April 4.—Since the particulars of this subject were first introduced, the following, in addition, may be relied on as authentic :—The steam, on the nth ultimo, burst out in four additional points, adjacent to the former three. On the 31st ultimo, a considerable quantity of the cliff foundered in, and, consequently, the steam was nearly suppressed till the 3d instant, when it again made its ap pearance, and continues to emit steam, as before. The concourse of spectators to view this phenomenon of nature has been considerable, and it is likely to continue to claim public attention. Lord ELLIOT; in the absence of the Mem ber for Worcestershire, presented a petition from the Coroners for that County, to which they were anxious the attention of the Secretary for the Home Department should be drawn. The petitioners complain of their very inadequate remuneration, and pray for an increase of sa lary. With respect to the contest for the office of Coroner, alluded to by the Member for Worcester (Colonel Davies) Lord Elliot was informed it arose entirely from party mo tives, and not from any prospect of emolument to the Can didates themselves.

Our contemporaries, we observe, have noticed the very extraordinary conduct of a person, named Lead, or some such name, a messenger or door-keeper, we do not know which, of the House of Commons. On Thursday night we witnessed his pushing and driving strangers, as well as reporters, on that occasion ; bat the conduct alto gether of the inferior servants of the House has been so much of a piece ever since we last remarked on it, that we have really got accustomed to their insolence. We understand that, last night, an intimation was .=de to one of tke Gentlemen connected with the Press, that such improprieties would be punished, if represented in the proper quarter. We have no wish to preys hard on individuals, but we sincerely hope, that, by punishment, if no other method avail, the scenes that have, in more than one instance, taken place iu the gallery, will be in future prevented. We seek for no civi lity from the persons on whose behaviour we are remark ing, because they have none to give ; but we think we have a right to the services whick we amply pay for..-- New Times. STRANGE IF THLTZ, : BUT MOST LIKELY A JONATHAN.—A correspondent in lisle Jesus, has informed us that a woman who resides there, had, a few days ago, three of her children and her servant girl poisoned in the following manner. Previous to her going to church, she gave orders to the ?girl to make soup, in which sbe desired her to boil a head of cabbage whole. The girl did as she was ordered, and about noon 'gave the three chil dren some of it. The children almost immediately after smallowing the soup, sickened and died. This had such an effect upon the girl, that she ran screaming till she met her mistress, who hastened home and was convinced that the girl was not crazy as she imagined, when she beheld her three infants lying lifeless. Her distress on beholding such a melancholy spectacle beggars description. In her phrenzy she blamed the girl for being t` a cause, and, as a punishment, ordered her to take some of the soup. The poor girl, conscious of her innocence, and to convince her mistress that she knew nothing of a poisonous nature being put into the soup, took some, and was soon after a corpse.

DEACON V. DEACON. Mr. ilicar.n requested permission to give notice of a motion for Monday in this case, in which an injunction had been obtained against the Receiver on the 24th of last month. The solicitor for the other aide caused a re port of the case to be inserted in the SUN EVEN ING PAVER, and circulated a great many of the News-. papers in the town in which the Receiver resided.-- In consequence of this the Receiver laboured under se vere imputations, which he bad not yet had an opportunity of refuting.—Leave granted. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. SCOTCHMEN IN ENGLAND. The Vicv.-CiraNcr.xxoa having directed that a case should stand over until Monday next, in order that addi tional affidavits might be flied in it, Mr. HORNE applied for a longer adjournment. The solicitors by whom these affidavits must be prepared are Scotchmen, said the learned Gentleman, and we all know that Scotchmen have a conscientious objection to doing any worldly business on Sundays. I fear, therefore, that if the case comes on again on Monday, they will not, consistently with their religious scruples, have sufficient time to look over the papers necessary for preparing the affidavits. Mr. HART—How very scrupulous you think them. Don't you read papers yourself on Sundays?—(A laugh.) Mr. Hoaar—l3ut I am no Scotchman. The VICE-CuANcrLLon—l believe, Mr. Horne, that what you say must apply only to Scotchmen when they are on the other side of the Tweed; when they come amongst as they act in every respect like Englislunen. I can't see any of those scruples among them here.—(A laugh.) ifCOURT TH O E F E R N E G tE s S II TS G , E LAw L a r sT4 A It- N S . QILts.E. Edward Dixon Pouchee, of Brydges-strect, and Louis Pouchce, of the Stage Coach-office, Somerset-house, were summoned before the Commissioners by a Reporter, for the amount of reports furnished to a weekly publication called th e Enylish Gentleman, of which the defendants were proprietors. The Reporter's claim amounted to about 41. The defendants did not deny that he was entitled to that sum, hat they denied their own liability, as neither of them was the registered proprietor. Edward Dixon Pouchee was first called, who simply de nieil his liability. The Reporter said that he was convinced that the defen dants were the bona fide proprietors, and that they lurked behind the shade, and put men of straw forward as the ostensible proprietors, in order to evade the debts and other responsibilities incident to a newspaper : it was a species of swindling that ought to be exposed, and which no honest man would resort to. The COMMISSIONER apprehended, that unless the Re porter should adduce some evidence of Edward being a proprietor, he could not fix his liability. The Reporter said that he was not prepared with such evidence at present, but he would have his. up again on a future day. Louis Pouchee being called appeared by Attorney, who said that the Reporter might safely leave the matter entirely to that gentleman's honour and Rose of justice. The C OM MISSIONER—WeII, on such conditions, we will dismiss the case for the present. Other gentlemen may pride themselves in not paying their tailors ; but the English Gentleman alone can boast of not paying its Reporters. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

The Oratorios, or Lent Musicals, being now closed, we feel ourselves called upon to make a few remarks on the style in which they have been exe cuted and conducted. Of the judgment exercised in the several selections, we cannot speak in encomiastic terms. From the time when Oratorios were really given—when a proper respect was paid to the solemnity of the season—when regular dramas added scenic interest to that of the beauty of sacred song and grandeur of multisonous concord—we have never witnessed a less consistent mixture of the grand and the frivolous. Ballads and anthems, opera airs and Hallelujah chorusses, have been jumbled together, independently of any dignified respect for the religious occasion; and, in a word, pains seem to have been taken to keep out of view the former oppropriate " order of things," and t o banish, as far as possible, the very idea of genuine Oratorios, and the christian sentiment which gave them birth. This is our undisguised opinion of the taste which has directed the late theatrical conc e rts of the performance of the pieces selected, we cant speak in a different tone. For the most part, it was excellent. With the spirit and energy of Braham, the pathos and execution of Miss Paton, the sweet ness and flexibility of Miss Stephens, the just con ception and expression of Madame Cornega, the rich mellow notes of Miss Love, and the dignified manner of Phillips, whose fine depth of compass seems con tinually augmenting, we were highly gratified. Such an assemblage of vocal powers, was creditable both to the judgment and the liberality by which they were brought together ; and we thank Mr. Bishop for the pleasure that judgment and liberality afforded us; as well as for the goodness of his band, which, on Mr. Spagnoletti's nights (for sometimes, alas ! Mr. T. Cooke's was the presiding violin) was headed by the first leader now in this country. To these specimens of real and distinguished merit, a few drawbacks presented themselves; among which, were those of the improper time in which the con ductor led off certain pieces, the general inefficiency' of the choral part of the orchestra, and the miscon ception of Handel's meaning, in some of the sublimest efforts of his genius. WO! WO! Wo, wo unto him, who would check or disturb it,-- That beautiful Light, which is now on its way ; Which, beaming, at first, o'er the bogs of Belturbet, Now brightens sweet Ballinafad with its ray !

The articles chiefly in demand are middling and ordinary woollen clotlua. Saxon cotton manufactures were also in great request. There were also great quantities of raw materials besides wool at the fair, and were likewieu bought up with much spirit. AiR.CANNING.—" DeVere's acquaintance with Mr. Wentworth (Canning) arose out of the introduction of their mutual friend Dr. Herbert. Mr. Wentworth had been mad.; acquainted with all the oppressions, and all the self exertions, of the moated house ; ,and, ardent himself, and still, perhaps, with some pent-up romance in his composi tion, which all the struggles and events in his life could not absolutely coequer, he conceived both liking and esteem for his young friend. On the other hand, De Vere saw in Mr. Wentworth much, if not every thing, he admired. He thought hint, as in times a little farther off, another considerable Minister was thought, by one who well knew how to describe him, a person of as much virtue at can possibly consist with a love of power; and his love of power no greater than what is common to men of hie su perior capacities.' He admired and loved him, too, fo r many other qualities. But it is not easy to describe this able and accomplished person. His mind wee an assem blage of all that could excite, and all that could soothe; his o o ff party i a t r h t e y r a c n ou d ld th at: w i heart, the seat of an ambition belonging, as it were, to him self; equally above stooping to Court or people, and which were attuned to friendship, and his intellect to 0 e plea sures of elegant cultivation. tumult nofear he had been beautifully distinguished, and bad had many ami able associates before he acquired his political eminence. hteht:TehryuNsNo'lfiitelhetsatleell.ont.le'isahn,ll;:ileincli.lngt.hse: the Senate his eminence was like a mountain river, taking its the "awsrheole n one filew a l , o ads setr oft i an off by y efirent, wit, s flashing o r as w o t o sustained united,i rise from reason , b ut swe lling its impetus by a thou Land auxiliary streams of wit and imagi natio n , which it gathered on its way.

This made him the most loved, for his own sake, of all the leaders of his time out of the House, while in it he reigned without struggle or compeer,—nihil simile aut secundum.—_De Vere.
