We see with satisfaction ,that the House of Com mons last night ratified Mr. T. DUNCOMBE'S resolu tion, that petitions should be received against an im pending tax. It was, however brought forward by Lord P. EGERTON, who ;bound it up with some other things, that his friends the Ministers might not actually seem to adopt the very resolution on Thurs day which they had opposed on Monday. They did so, however. As Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said, the Noble Lord let his friends down on the bare ground. It was perhaps to be expected that Lord JOIIN RUSSELL, who has been a Minister, and may be one again, should support the practice of not discussing petitions, but it is not on that account the more pleasing to us to find him and Lord HOWICK taking what we regard as the Tory side. The Noble Lords dread lest the House of Commons should be too much occupied with the petitions of the people, and not have time enough to make laws. In the case of the tariff, for example, Lord Jour/ supposed that discussing petitions might be very inconvenient, but it seems to us that it would be very just. The tariff has been brought forward without any communication with the parties concerned. It inflicts serious injury on several trades, and if those who carry them on cannot have their petitions discussed, how can the House of Commons as a body become acquainted with their claims ? Will all the Members read their petitions They will not ; and to abstain from discussing those petitions before the House agrees to the tariff, is to legislate in ignorance. But that is commonly done, and legislators like to do it. They think that their knowledge is all-sufficient, and they are apt to treat with contempt the representations of those whom they are about, by their laws, to injure. We regret to see Lord JOIIN RUSSELL taking such a decided part in favour of the modern practice of stifling discussion on petitions, and beg leave to tell him that such a course will not restore him to that public fa vour, which we regret to say he has lost. Sir Ro- BERT PEEL has lately set him the example of earn ing popularity, and though we would not recommend Lord JOHN RUSSELL to imitate the cunning and de ceit of Sir ROBERT PEEL, he may learn from Sir ROBERT'S success the value of that popularity which Lord JOHN RUSSELL seems habitually to despise. It seems that neither the deficiency of the revenue, the disasters in Caubul, nor the desire to improve trade, nor all these combined, are the sufficient mo tive in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S mind for imposing an income tax on the people. He has some knowledge, it is hinted, of vast impending difficulties for which the income tax is to provide. From some prophetic skill for which modern statesmen have been in general so little renowned, that they have not been able to foresee or foretell the consequences of their own conduct, he has ascertained what will be the condition of things in future, and to meet it nothing less than an income tax, the rate of which, when its machinery is in operation, can be increased at any given moment, from 3 to 20 per cent., will suffice. He sees much further, we are told, than the multi tude, and his income tax is to meet some great event which nobody but himself yet dreams of. The Times, in a leader from which we have made a short extract, states, that the arguments used by Sir R. PEEL do not carry anything like a conviction to its mind that the emergency is sufficient to warrant the obnoxi ous remedy which he has resorted to. Our Contemporary, therefore, pleads for confidence, in the man " the people have chosen to be Prime Mi nister," and claims credit for him that he is only car rying out, with that secrecy which becomes a Con servative Government, the precautionary measures which coming events demand. Froni his own friends and partizans the Minister keeps the grounds of his conduct secret, and requires them—and requires the nation—with a true devotion and implicit faith, to surrender their judgment and understanding to his will. Another Tory Journal, more perhaps in Sir Ro- BERT'S confidence than the Times, and which was once supposed to receive its inspirations from Mr. CRORER, informs us that the event for which Sir ROBERT PEEL is providing is an approaching war. The al lusions of our morning Contemporary confirm, if they be not borrowed from the statements of the Johns Bull. We have announced in The Sun that Louis PHILLTPPE labours under a disease, which, at his time of life, is rarely cured ; and it is, according to the Sunday organ of the Tories, to ba ready for the consequences of his death, as they are painfully depicted to the vision of the Seer at the head of affairs, that the people must at once submit to an in come tax. At Louis PIIILLIPPE'S death a Revolution is antici pated in France, and our Tory Go'vernment, in con junction with the despots of Europe, who are all, it is said, preparing for war, is to employ the force of England in another crusade against the development of liberty in France. Such is the version given by the John Bull of the origin of the income tax, which throws some light on the elaborate peroration of the Premier on propounding his budget. The first French Revolution and the apprehensions of a third, we must now believe were present to his mind, when he ap pealed to the patriotism of the Tories, formerly called life and fortune men, and conjured them by consent ing to pay 7d. per pound out of their incomes, to show themselves worthy of their sires. For them to cash up at once is to awe in time revolutionary France, and maintain " that reputation " which " repels hos tile aggression and secures extended empire." This conjecture receives some confirmation from the Corn-laws and the budget of the Right Hon. I Baronet.

Alorning 23 minutes after 4 I Evening .... 39 minutes after 4, ;,revail in the United h.:ttes and our Colonies bordering on them, that in case of a war with republican France, England would find the United States take advantage of that circumstance to settle the Boundary Question, and some other ques tions according to their own wishes. In case of a war with France and America, we should find our supplies of timber, from our North American colonies, then more than ever needed, partially intercepted. We could not, in that case, get any of those supplies of grain from the vast vales of the Mississippi, which some foolish men, called philo sophers, have supposed might serve to cement the two nations in peace by an interest as strong as that which preserves unfailing harmony between Scotland and England. Foreseeing these circumstances, Sir R. PEEL encourages, by a Corn-keeping-out-law, the growth, especially of corn, wheat, and flour, that being almost the only grain brought from the United States— and provides by an alteration of the timber duties for an extensive supply of timber from the north of Europe. With that part of the world we shall probably be allied against France, and our supply from thence could not easily be intercepted by the Americans. SO the alterations in the duties on cattle which may be brought from the neighbouring Continent, and on meat and potatoes, all seem calculated to pro cure some additional supplies of food to help out the scanty pittance to which a Corn-law would doom our increasing people; rigidly denied the advantages of participating in the fruits of the rich fields of the West. If it be not true that Sir ROBERT PEEL is preparing for war, as the John Bull announces, his commercial policy will at least tend to separate the interests of this country from those of the United States, somewhat concerned both in timber and the corn-trade, and tend to isolate the two nations, which is the glory of politicians. We do not vouch for these conjectures, but it is certain that Louis PHILIPPE cannot live long—nearly certain that at his death the system which he has established, which depends almost entirely on him, must fall to pieces ; and it is a plain matter of fact, that for many years the fate of England has been closely bound up with the fate of France. The first French Revolution fatally arrested the pro gress of reform and political liberty in England. The Revolution of 1830 accelerated the destruction of the Tory Ministry, and promoted the Reform of the House of Commons. In like manner, the subsequent success of Louis PHILIPPE in putting down the nascent liberties of France, has emboldened Sir ROBERT PEEL to pursue an arbitary course, and in troduce his income tax. If he succeed, it will be mainly owing to the previous success of kindred tyranny abroad. He is but imitating the tyrants of the Continent, who seek rather to make their subjects obey, than to convince them of the utility of the Go vernment measures. Looking at the obvious assimilation which is now taking place in all the Governments of Europe, which borrow the institutions of one another, there can Le little doubt, were another revolution in a democratic spirit to take place in France, during the possession of power by the Tories, that England would again unite herself with the aristocratic and despotic Govern ments of Europe to arrest its progress. We have the authority of the Tory John Bull for warning the people of England that an income tax is to be im posed on them in order to enable the Government, in conjunction with the Powers of Europe, to put down the democratic revolution, which the Tories anticipate on the death of Louis Piiimpru. We no longer wonder at Sir ROBERT PEEL not laying before the public his full reasons for proposing an income tax. It might have marred the cunning Premier's success, with the Chartists and the working classes, had he in timated in his speech that. he wanted the income tax. He asked them, by no covert means, tosupport in order to crush freedom and republicanism abroad. An exceedingly irregular, but by no means unimpor tant question was addressed on Wednesday night to Sir It PEEL by Mr. S. O'BRIEN. The Hon. Gentleman asked whether it was the intention of the Premier to recom mend to her MAJESTY to confer upon the Lord Mayor of Dublin a similar mark of her Royal favour to that conferred upon the Lord Mayor of London—namely, a Baronetcy. He added that the question was of more political than civil importance. Sir ROBERT PEEL very properly, declined to state the advice which, as a Minister of the Crown, le.might feel it his duty to give to his Sovereign relative to the conferring of civil distinctions. 'As this question—how irregularly matters not to US , — has been brought under the notice of the House of Commons, and as a Tory Morning Paper which, affect ing to be very- religious and very humane, is frequently calumnious, and always foul-mouthed, has thought proper to indulge in a scandalous attack upon the '.public . and private character of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, the notice of it by the independent Liberal Press becomes a duty. There are occasions hich a great ,Minister would seize upon with delight to show that he was capable of rising above the trammels of faction; and that, while availing himself of the sup port of a party, his pc , icy was directed to promote the welfare and conciliate the affections of an empire. Such a Minister would adopt something like what in the Middle Ages the people called the Truce of Gop— periods for the cessation of party strife, and dur ing which it .would be equally charitable and honourable to confer marks of individual es teem upon a political opponent. Now, no pe riod could be .better chosen fur this than the time appointed for the congratulating the young. and happy mother and Monarch of Great Britain and Ireland upon the • auspicious birth of the future Sovereign of these realms. A great Minister, upon so great and national an occasion, would take a pride in representing his Sovereign as too exalted in station and in feeling to inhale the common atmosphere tainted with the breath of party. He would de light in impressing upon a devoted, loyal people; that the spray of the broken waves of faction never rose so high as to wet the foot of the Throne — that although all below was dark and turbulent, there a noon-day light constantly shone, in which prejudice and passion were never discoverable. - But Sir ROBERT PEEL is not a great Minister, nor has he one of the qualities essential to one. His mind wants the moral elevation, which would admit of a noble and generous sentiment. To conciliate millions of the Irish people, he could no t forget that'DANIEL O'CoNNELL had been his political opponent—that he had kept him out of office—and that he owed him a multitude of personal grudges, which he had no other mode of revenging, than by withholding from him the paltry honour of, knighthood ! And this towards a man who is known to 'have declined the Mastership of the Irish Rolls, and a Peerage ! Oh this is, indeed, mL crably small policy ! Had Sir ROBERT PEEL had the greatness of mind that even WALroLE possessed, when he extinguished the political influence of his great rival, PULTENEY, by conferring upon him the Earldom of Bath, he would have rejoiced at so favourable an opportunity of throwing a wet blanket upon the repeal agitation. With his large majority in the House of Com mons, no person could have attributed to dread of Mr. O'CoNNELL's influence the bestowing upon -him of a customary mark of Royal favour, more Compli mentary to the city of Dublin than to the Lord Mayor personally. Upon no people is the influence of a gene rous act so little lost as upon the Irish, and they would have felt as done to them what was done to their great political leader —or, to adopt the language of one of themselves, " the MosEs of embondaged Irish Catholicism." More generous-minded Tories will mourn over this exhibition of the Premier's mean and paltry sFirit. The Lord Mayor of London has already been created a Baronet ; the insult offered to the Lord Mayor and the citizens of Dublin has been mooted in Parliament, and, therefore, it is needless to say that the time is past for remedying a wrong of which only a mean-minded man, and the smallest of small Ministers, could be capable. The debate upon the Right of Seareh question in the French Chamber of Peers is the leading subject of dis cussion in all the French Journals. They have, how 7 ever, nothing new upon the subject. The following just and sensible remarks of the Debuts upon the late disasters in Affghanistan, for a pleasing contrast to the ribaldy of the Opposition - , Peipert 'Against England,. As to the moral and political consequences which may reszlt from the reverses experienced by the English in Affghanistan, we cannot imagine that they can ever acquire a real important e. The moral and political situation of the English in Asia will. be much less affected than many think and even desire. The Caubul campaign had been resolved on to make English influence predominant in Upper Asia, but: eventshave demonstrated that the capture of Candahar and, Caubul produced no result in this re spect, and that the triumphal restoration of Shah SOOJAII did not prevent Captain AI:113071"S being mur dered at Khiva, nor Colonel STODDART'S being thrown . barbarously into prison at Bockhara ; the campaign produced nothing for Erglish trade in Central Asia; it made no alteration in the hostile sentiments of the Shah of Pintsu towards England, so that English influence had nothing to lose in that quarter. As to any ideas being excit ed in India against English supremacy, we Oink' it very :lprobable. It must not be forgott;lith: , ,t there events' have passed at a distance of 150 leagues from the English frontier; and, above all, that fur the great mass.Of .the population, the war dir,2eted against the Xussulmans is a wad against the most cruel oppressors that India ever knew. Undoubtedly the iiitissulmans, who in the north of India have survived the downfal of the Mogul Empire, will not learn' without emotion of the success of their co-religionists in Caubul ; but they are too insignificant in number, too weak, too disunited, and too well watched to be formidable. Besides, men of sense ought not to allow themselves to be 'led astray by the ridiculous declamations, which represent 180,000,000 of human beings in India burning with indignation against the yoke imposed on them by 120,000 Europeans. The English Government is about the most equitable, the most liberal, and the most moderate that has ever reigned oyer,these countries, and they have the good sense to acknowledge it."

FREE LIST.— COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. - Mr. Mitchell takes his benefit at this theatre to-mor .row evening, and the entertainments announced are of the most attractive character—fully sufficient of them. selves to draw a full house. But Mr. Mitchell has stronger claims oil the kindness of his friends, by his constant urbanity of manners, and• great desire to pro mote the interests of the theatre, by extreme civility and unremitting attention to his duties. We arc sure the public, and especially the press going public, will not fail to do their best in making his benefit a bumper. A great number of Noblemen and Gentlemen, who on Wednesday presented addresses of congratulation to the Queen, attended at Buckingham Palace this afternoon to present addresses of congratulation to his Royal Ilighness Prince Albert. The Deputation, or at least the greater part, afterwards went to Clarence House, St. James's, to present similar addresses to the Duchess of Kent. TURNPIKE ROADS.—A Bill has been brought into Parliament by the Home Secretary, to continue the local Turnpike Acts, and to provide for the discharge of the mortgage debts on turnpike-roads in England. The latter clause, considering the great depression of the tolls caused by railroads, is the most im portant. The Bill provides that mortgagees shall not take possession of tolls after the first day of October, 1842, and on that day mortgagees in possession shall deliver up the tolls and render an exact account to the trustees. If any surplus remains after defray ing the expenses of repairs and paying interest, it shall be applied for the pUrpose of terminating the mortgages in the year 11883, in the following manner:— The mortgage debts shall be held to be paid and satisfied if, ii the period of five years after 1847, the mortgagees shall have received 941. Hs. Bd. for every 100/.; if during the next five years they shall have received 871. 19s. 1 lcl.; for the next five, 791. 19s. Bd.; and so on in proportion to the year .1883, when, if they have received 261. 7s. for erAxy 1001., the mortgage shall cease. The Act is to continue until the ISt day of October, 1883, and of course no provision is made ior the payment of niort• gages after that period. - understat:il that Sir' ames Carnegy, who came forward as a candidate for the Montrose district of burghs, has withdrawn in favour of Mr. Hume, and that this long tried and consistent Reformer will most likely take his place in the House on Monday night as the Member for Montrose. SUMMARY WI: HEWS AN D lizttlate Optima. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. Most of the Paris journals comment on the report that an arrangement has been come to by the great Powers for a mar riage between the young Queen of Spain and a Prince of Ba varia. Assuming this report to be well lounded, and supposing that the influence of France has been very slight in such a selection, the project does not find much favour with some of the Opposition journals. There is nothing, however, in their observations, independently of the fact that the statement upon which they are based is at present mere rumour, of sufficient interest to call far their being given at length. Ihe National has contrived to spin out an article of two columns on the policy and financial embarrassments of England, with the view of showing that the Tory Ministry is at this moment organising all its means for the rupture of the peace of Europe. The motive for this policy, which, the National admits, would be a paradox for any other country, but which, it says, is quite in due course for England, is, in the opinion of our contemporary, hostility to France. The National says that, notwithstanding the financial embarrassments of England, she was never more insolent towards France than she is at this moment. The Journal des Debate, alluding to the conduct of England upon the slave question, says;—" We do not stand up as advo cates of Great Britain. The best of human actions are not always entirely divested of interested views. But after all the future is uncertain. What England expects from her Bill of Emancipation may or may not happen, but she has not the less voted and paid 500 millions to give freedom to her slaves, and ever since the world existed no nation has ever consented, for the sake of a principle, to so prodigious a sacrifice." The consumption of meat during the last month in Paris amounted to 5,741 oxen, 1,281 Cows, 5,439 calves, and 32,972 sheep. The returns for the first quarters of the two years show a diminution for 1842 of 395 oxen, 1,505 cows, 962 calves, and 3,399. We have Spanish news of the sth. M. Campuzano had pre sented to the Senate a proposition, 'whereby foreigners were to enjoy the same rights as Spanish citizens. The proposition was referred to a Commit tee. There are at this moment in Greece 21 journals, of which which six are political, andhave to deposit caution-money to the amount of 5.00) drachmas (about 4,000 f.) Literary periodic cats are not subject to this caution-muney. The number of presses in the kingdom amounts to 51, belonging to 20 diffe rent printing establishments. 2 ARLZAWIZZTTARY. On presenting a petition last night in the House of Lords against the tariff, Lord Western said the peti tioners accused the Government of having deceived them. The Duke of Wellington was obviously nettled at the charge, and while he deprecated the use of such language, he gave the accusation a flat denial. Lord Western rejected the accusation and was loudly cheered by the Earl of Winchilsea. The presentation of a petition against Maynooth en abled both Lord Cloncurry and the Earl of Wicklow to say that the grant for the College ought to be enlarged, not lessened, as desired by the bigots. 'The Spirit Duties (Ireland) Bill went through a Com mittee, after Lord Monteagle had objected to it at some length that it would promote illicit distillation. A little conversation took place about the Greenwich Naval School, which Lord Duncannon censured, but which the Earl of Iladdington defended. The House adjourned to get rid of Lord Duncannon's motion to send an inspector from the Privy Council to look after the school. In the Commons Mr. Redington reported from the Sudbury Election Committee that the two sitting Mem bers were not duly elected, and that the election was void. Such bribery lhul been committed that the Com mittee reconitnended that the borough be disfranchised. Lord Francis Egerton moved a series of resolutions confirming the present practices of the House as to receiving petitions, but discontinuing the prac tice of not receiving petitions against a tax for the service of the year, and converting those practices into standing orders. The motion was opposed on the ground that it would prevent or finally establish the pre sent practice of.not discussing petitions, but, on a divi sion, was carried by 262 to 46. A resolution, almost in the very words; • Mr. T. Duncombe originally moved on the subject of petitions, was carried, so that the right to present petitions against a proposed tax is secured. Mr. WakleY complained that Sir John Easthope had usurped his seat, and would not give it up. The Baronet replied that Mr. Walley had requested, him rudely to resign t. Mr. Borthwick had given notice of a motion about the metropolitan roads, but was obliged. to withdraw it be. cause the Hon. Member, from ignorance of the forms of the House, had nbt complied with them. A Bill to settle the question of 'patronage in the Kirk of Scotland was, on the Motion of Mr. Campbell. or dered to .be brought in ; but, the Government does not sanction the measure. The Colonial Passengers' Bill went through a Com mittee. The Australia and New Zealand Bill was read a second time. Adjourned at Ten o'Clock. PUBLIC OPINION. The Herald says t —Sir Robert Peel has made no attempt to hurry or hasten to a close the discussion on Lord John Rus sell's resolutions; the House has indulged in the general dis cussion on the Minister's budget until the country is almost as wearied as it was by the tiresome Corn-law debates. But now that it is almost certain that that budget will in its main fea tures become law, it is to be hoped that some efforts will be made to get rid of its objectionable features, and that as much attention will be bestowed on its important details as have been given to its princ'ples and to financial generalities and indivi dual opinions." In reference to Sir Robert Peel's present difficult position, the Chronicle, says—" He his exaggerated the difficulties of the country. in order to smooth the way to an income tax ; but then he could not preserve monopoly and give the nation an improved tariff without such an amount of direct taxation as would cause the remission of a considereble amount of indirect taxation. Whatever the intentions of the Right Honourable Baronet may be (and , ke are unwilling to refuse him credit for wishing to do much good), he has certainly deceived all parties, more or less. The agriculturists are, at present in a state of great agitation, and weagree with Mr. Charles Buller in think ing, that before the tariff is through the House of Commons, he will require all the support which the Opposition can give him."' The Times makes the following singularly candid avowal : " The failure of the '.reformed' system of Election Committees is too glaring to " be dissembled, even in the HO use of Cona bmaod unseated ns.\Nl two ' en wecoria last noticed Members iv th i e subject, ls a Whig - Committee for Weymouth, and a Conservative Committee had unseated a Whiz Member for Clitherot•. Since that time a Conservative Coinmittee has unseated a NA hig Member for Marlow, and a Whig °;eMittee has unseatecV a Consecrative' Member for Wigan. Hitherto. there has beet] no exception to the rule - that politics de:ermine f the result."- We quote the subjoined passage from the Post :—" Sir Robert Peel keeps the question of the restoration of the re , venue, and that or the restoration of trade, quite distinct from each other. Instead of assuming the strange dogma that the reduction of duties will benefit the revenue, he takes exactly the opposite view ; and while, by one measure, he provides for sick reduction, by another he provides a revenue, not only to make up the deficiency bequeathed by the Whigs, hut rho the further deficiency which the Government policy for the revival of trade is likely to occasicn. Instead, therefore, of the tariff argument and the deficiency argument being inconsistent with each oth?r, one is supplemental to the other, and they form a perfectly coherent and continuous whole." The following is from the Advertiser :—" The result of the Birmingham Conference, between the middle and working classes, cannot fail to prove highly gratifying to al who take lan interest in public affairs. The aristocracy has been enabled to rule the country upon its exclusive and selfish principles, during the last half century, only in consequence of the divi sion and hostility it has managed to create and perpetuate be tween the two great sections of society—the middle and the , working classes. Divide and conquer, has been the maxim upon which its policy has been conducted ; and the fruits of that policy fill some of the most disastrous pages in the coun try's history." =CCL'ESIASTICAL. Of the Irish Bishoprics suppressed by Lord Stanley's Bill, Dromore, the eighth, has just lapsed by the death of Dr. Saurin. Two only now remain : Kildare, upon the - demise of the present Bishop, to be united to Dublin ; and Clogher, to be united to Armagh. X.s..ECTIONEEIZING. Mr. Fergusson's election petition against the return for Windsor has been withdrawn; that gentleman, who is con• netted with an extensive mercantile house at Calcutta, having proceeded to India a few days ago. lIANTAX. AND MIL/TART. Two new steam-frigates have been launched during the past week, vis. the Spiteful, at the Pembroke dockyard, of 1,000 tons ; and the Guadaloupe at Liverpool, of 800 tons, as a second class frigate. The Duchess of Sutherland steam-ship got upon the Maplin Sands, near the Nore on Monday, where she has remained ever since, great apprehensions being entertained for her safety, as the tides are falling off. Her pa , :sengers, about 100 in num ber, have been landed at Gravesend, as also her oxen and cargo in barges. Steam tugs have endeavoured to get her off, but hitherto without effect. LAW AND POLICE. At the close of the Chester Assizes, on the 11th inst., Robert Sandys, convicted at the last assizes of the murder of his child, was brought up for judgment, when Mr. Justice Erskine passed sentence of death, and fixed his execution for Saturday, the 23d of April. The eleven privates of the 21st Regiment of Foot, indicted for a riot at Stockport, were, after a short trial, all acquitted. On Tuesday, Mr. Caldwell, the Irish attorney, after two days' trial, at Dublin, was found gtinry of an assault with force and violence, against her consent, upon Mrs. Corbett, the wife of a barrister. At Bow-street, on Wednesday, Thomas Grew, a clerk in the General Post-office, was fully committed to take his trial for stealing three letters containing jewellery, which came into his possession in the discharge of his duty. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. The opening of the chests bequeathed to the University of Upsala by King Gustavus 111. , to be opened 50 years after his death, took place at Sweden' on the 29th of March. Their contents were letters, memoirs, and trifles of the King's own time ; the most valuable being the letters written by three clever and noble Frenchwomen to the King, viz., Ist, the Countess d'Egmon. daughter of the famous Marshal Duke de Richilieu ; 2d, Henriette de Sanchon de Bouffiers ; and 3d, the Countess de la Alarque, daughter of the Alarechalde THEATRICAL. Miss Adelaide Kimble will set off on an extended provincial tour, immediately after the closing of Covent Garden Theatre on the 29th bast. A new farce, entitled Intimate Friends, has been put in rehearsal at Drury Lane Theatre. Airs. Stirling is to make her debut here in the forthcoming new play of Plighted Troth. The cause for closing the Dublin Theatre is said to be the violent display of party feeling exhibited night after night by the more violent of both political parties, thereby disgusting the more rational classes. C OURT—FASIIIONAICLE. The Duke and Duchess of Montrose are about to proceed to Lisbon in the Tagus steamer, which leaves Southampton on Saturday next. "The Countess St. Aulairk gave a grand concert at the French Embassy last night. Letters have recently been received from Lord Morpeth, dated from Charleston, in North America, whence he intended to proceed to Cuba, and after visiting the West Indies pro posed to return to New York.- July is named as the probable period for his Lordship's return home: Earl and Countess De Grey are expected to leave town alter her Majesty's ball, for Wrest Park, Bedfordshire. His Lord ship is not expected to return to Dublin for five or six weeks. The Earl of Lonsdale is nearly restored to health, but has made arrangements for disposing of his hunting-stud at Cottes more next month. The choral meeting of Mr. Hullah's singing-classes took place on Wednesday night at Exeter Hall. His Royal Highness Prince Albert was present. MISCELLANEOUS. The contest for the office\ of Vestry Clerk of St. James, Clerkenwell, terminated on Wednesday, when Mr. Wakeling was elected, by a majority of nine over Mr. M'Phail. A Commission of Lunacy was held in the Sheriff's Court on Wednesday, to inquire into the state of mind of Mrs. S. Elliot, a lady between sixty and seventy years of age, when the Jury pronounced her of unsound mind since O c tober 1, 1837. DUTCH MAIL. AMSTERDA Di, Arun, 12.—The King arrived here this morning at rine o'clock, and alighted at the Palace, appearing at the balcony : he was enthusiastically greeted by the assembled multitude. The Queen and Princess Sophia, and the Princes, (lid not arrive till the afternoon. His Majesty's Levee to-day was very nu merous and brilliant. The Consuls of foreign Powers being first presented, Mr. Bennet, the Russian Consul, the senior of the Consuls at Amsterdam, addressed his Majesty, chiefly to congratulate him on the approach ing marriage of the Princess Sophia and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Saxe Weimer, hoping that the happiness of the august couple would indemnify his Majesty for the painful separation from a beloved daughter. His Ma jesty replied to this address with much feeling. It is said that their Majesties will remain here about a week. THE HAGUE, APRIL Dedel, our Minister at London, has just arrived here. Fnertnroirr, APRIL 9.-Accounts from Berlin say that the choice of a successor to Baron Bulow, as Prussian representative in the German Diet, is not yet deter mined on. A letter from Berlin, in the Oleon Duitsche Zeitung of the 4th of April, says that General Gretten is spoken of. The same accounts say that the Emperor of Russia is expected in August in the Rheingan, where the Empress and her daughters will arrive before him. His Majesty and the King of Prussia will visit the Prussian camp together, and thus refute (this seems to be chiefly in tended) all the malicious reports of a coolness between them, which have been promulgated by the English and French Journals.—Dutch Papers, April 13.

The English Stocks arc again better, upon the certainty that the market is not likely to be interfered with by a proposition for further loans, or such like means of raising supplies. It has been before stated, that at the time the plan of an income tax was brought forward, the state of the monetary interest was such, that no difficulty would arise if the whole of the outstanding Exchequer bills were funded, and such an amount re issued as might be necessary for the public exigencies. Had such a proposition been carried into effect, one great result would have been achieved of giving to future holders a fur more secure document than they have at present, as well as relieving the market of the whole of the unfunded debt. The strange sight is now presented, of a Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock being above ,par, Exchequer Bills bear ing a premium of 2 per cent., and the Bank of England discounting at 4 per cent. - The settlement has passed off very quietly, and Con sols left off at 911 for Money, and 91+ for the Ac count ; New Three-and-a-Ifalf per Cents., 100 1 1 ,- I ; Bank Stock, 166 167 ; India Stock, 242 244; Exchequer Bills, 38 40 prem.

By Watson's Telegraph :—The Beulah, with troops for India on board, is on shore on Dungeness Point ; two steamers have gone to her assistance. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sole occupation of parties connected with the Stock Exchange, is that of arranging the various accounts, this being the settling day in Consols and Shares, and to-morrow in Foreign Bonds, Settling in the latter has now become a dead iettei since the public have ceased to deal in most of these documents, the speculators, therefore, having the whole of the jobbing in their own hands. This state of affairs is not to be wondered at, when it is considered that the generality of the Governments have v.rtually repudiated their debts, and the Bonds can be purchased at less than the amount of the interest now due upon them. Besides, a large number of these republics and monarchies have been so wilfully un mindful of obligations contracted under the most solemn and binding circumstances, the Spanish Treasury Bonds, for ex ample, that no reliance will be placed upon any future pro mises, each as it is made being received as the basis of some new trickery. Prices of English Funds and Rai:way Shares are firm ; the Account, in the former, having been a bear one. The Money price of Consols is now 91 91k, and 91i ifor the Account; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 100 k 100* ; Three-and-a- Half per Cents., Reduced, 99k 99 1 1; Bank Stock, 166 1661, ; India bonds, 18 ' • and Exchequer Bill s , 38 40 p rem .

It had been expected that some alteration would have been proposed in the rates of duty on confectionery ma...!e in the Channel Islands, for the purpose of affording a degree of pro tection to the work people here ; but the expectation has been disappointed. According to the duties now levied, the articles produced in Germany can be sold here much below the cost of making them in England, owing to the sugar used in the manu facture being imported there duty free, and by the intended scale they will be admitted upon terms still snore advantageous to the outward makers. It has been urged in extenuation that by allowing them to lie imported, and then re-exported in bond, that new markets will be opened, on account of the reduced price ; but this has been met by the fact that a new business is being taught to the inhabitants of Guernsey, which will in time supersede the employment of our own artisans in it.

They apprised the commissary of police, who arrived, and broke open the door, where he found the lifeless body of a man named Lemarie, who had been long a lodger in the house, but who, in his occupation as a cook, was frequently absent for several months. The last time he was seen alive was nine months ago, but, as he always paid his rent, neither his neighbours nor his landlord were un easy at his non-appearance. The body was only partly decom posed, the rest being like a mummy. The skin was hard and dry like parchment. The remains were carefully removed for interment, and, to prevent contagion, the commissary had every thing the rooms contained, burnt to ashes in the middle of the market place. The house seems to have a fatality attend ing it, for a few years ago, a poor woman died in it, under similar circumstances, and when found, her body was half de voured by her dog and cat, which were shut up in the room with her. A lady of honourable station in society, wealthy, n wife, and mother of two daughters of marriageable age, was on Saturday brought before the Tr.bunal of Correctional Po lice of Paris, on a charge of purloining a piece of gold tissue from the rooms of 31me. Itarenne, the dress-maker, in the Place Vendome. She afterwards endeavoured to sell what she had taken to another establishment on the Boulevard des Italians. On being accused, she at once acknowledged her offence, and repeated the confession in Court, with every mark of contrition. In consideration of her family, the President would not condemn her to imprisonment, but imposed a fuse of 500 f. IIOUTICELTURAL SOCIETY.—The ordinary meet ing was held on Tuesday afternoon, R. W. Barchard, Esq., Vice-President, in the Chair. The show of plants was very good. The prizes awarded were, a silver Knightian medal to Mrs. Lawrence, for a plant of oncidium pulchellurus, and Banksian medals to Mr. Willmer, for a species of peristeria ; Mr. Jackson. for heaths ; Mr. Mills, for cucumbers; and cer tificates of merit to Sir J. Tyrrell, for lettuces; Mr. Hender son, for black Hamburgh grapes; Mr. Ivory, for cinerarias ; and Mr. Standish, for zich)a villosa.

Mr. D'Eyncourt, having received from Barbadoes the distressing intelligence of the death, from yellow fever, of his son, Captain D'Eyncourt, of the 46th Regiment, and being in consequence unable to attend his Parliamentary duties, has joined his afflicted family in the country. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF DROMORE.—The Vene rable, Dr. Saurin, Lord Bishop of Dromore, and brother of the late Right Hon. William Saurin, expired on Satur day evening at Kingstown, near Dublin. The deceased prelate was the oldest member of the hierarchy, and was esteemed, throughout a life longer than usually falls to the lot of man, as an exemplary and pious divine. Dromore is one of the suppressed bishoprics, and the diocese will be united to that of Armagh. Dr. Saurin was in the 83d year of his age, havin g b een b orn i n 1759 ; h e was ordained in 1781 ; and after having successively filled the Deanery of Cork, the Archdeaconry of Dublin, and the Deanery of Derry, was elevated in 1819 to the Bishopric of Dromore. Mr. Carter held an inquest on Monday on the both' of Lieutenant C. F. de Thierry, R.N., the particulars of whose suicide, at his residence in Long-lane, Bermondsey, have already appeared. In the course of the inquiry a number of letters were read, one of which was addressed to Mr. Cotting ham, the magistrate at Union Hall, condemning the conduct of the magistrate, and the decision he came to, when the corn. plainant's wife laid an information against him. The letter de clared the women had perjured them-elves, and that the course the magistrate had adopted had caused his ruin and death. Deceased was a Baron of Portugal, and was a Commander of the Order of Christ in that kingdom. The Jury returned a verdict of Temporary Mental Derangement. BODY FOUND IN TILE EWE - K. — Tuesday morning about five o'clock, as a Waterman was going down the stairs at Execution Dock, he discovered the body of a man lying across the causeway running into the river, who had apparently been drowned and left there by the tide. lle was dressed in the garb of an engineer of a steam-boat, and his linen was marked John Beadle. A pipe was found firmly clenched in his right hand, .nd it is supposed he must have come down the stairs in a state of intoxication to look for a steam .boat about half-past three o'clock, and have fallen into the water, for a watch was found in his pocket which had stopped at that time. • • LAUNCH OF AN IRON STEAM PRIGATE.—TuesdaV forenoon,- a steam frigate, 800 tons burden, was launched froin the iron ship-building yard of Mr. J. Laird, North Birken head. This is the only large vessel of war which has been built at this port since 1809, when the Ilavannah frigate was built. She will carry 68. pounders pivot-guns, and will be fitted up in all respects like her Majesty's steam frigates. Iler machinery and armament will be completed without delay. The East Indies is said to be her destination. She will make the eighth iron vessel of war which Mr. Laird has built; they all carry pivot-guns fore and aft. Four of them are now in the Chinese seas, namely, th 3 Nemesis and the Phlegethon, carrying two 32-pounders, and the Ariadne and the Medusa, two 34-pounders. The other three are in the Persian Gulf.-- Liverpooltll;AmaPeir;So oN Doc COMPANY.—Mondav a Special General Meeting of the Shareholders of this Company was held at the offices in Bishopsgate-street-Withi n , for the purpose of their considering aplan to complete tile Company's capital, by a aale of forfeited shares, and by the issue of deben tures or otherwise, subject to the provisions of an Act of Par liament to be applied for, and also for the forfeiture of shares. The chair was taken by J. W. Liggins, Esq., who stated that having failed in the accomplishment of the objects contem plated in their Bill, through a non-compliance with the Standing Orders, the Directors had prepared another plan, which he had no doubt would be equally approved by the Shareholders, as it would effect a saving of at least 50,0001. in comparison with the former proposal. The Secretary explained the scheme for rais ing the 100,0001. (to complete the original sum of 350,0001. for both docks ),which was to re-issue about 1,800 forfeited shares, and an equal number of debentures, the former to be fixed at 20/., and the latter at 301. each, no call to exceed 101. on each share and debenture, three nionths at least to inter vene between each call, and an equal number of shares and debentures to be taken in conjunction, to bear an interest of five per cent., with option to the subscribers after five years, if not repaid, of con. vetting each share and debenture into 501. stock of the Com pan v. On the Chairman moving that the Directors be autho rised to take the necessary steps to crrry the above scheme into effect, Mr. Richards spoke strongly on the want of security with the present contractors, and the evils of the truck system. The Secretary said that 10,C00/. had been paid to the contrac tors out of the last 51,0001., which latter amount Mr. Giles, the engineer, said would complete the tidal dock by Alidsum mer. After some discussion between Mr. Goldsmid, Mr. Ileathfield, Mr. M‘Laurin, and others, th e resolution was car ried by a large majority.,vhen t A ha u nk ad i d ,, it e io r n e a v l ot f e o d rfe to itu th re e D of ir 3 e l c 6 - adjourned. t s o h i a s r , e a s h t d he t t h i etomokeeptilnagce, A V IGATION SARDINIA AND HOLLAND.

Yesterday, Mr. Caldwell, an attorney, was placed at the bar, charged with attempting to violate Mrs. Corbett, the wife of Mr. Corbett, Barrister at Law. The case was tried before Mr. Baron Richards and Justice Perrin. Mrs. Corbett was the first witness examined, and detailed the nature of the assault. The account has already appeared in The Sun. The servant girl and Mr. Corbett confirmed her statement, and the latter gave some additional evidence, which is not fit for pub. lisation, but which left no doubt of the object of the prisoner. He also swore that the letters produced by Mr. Caldwell were not in the writing of Mrs. Corbett, One of the letters ran thus " My Dearest Friend,—When I returned, a certain person was there, and had not been out ; he questioned me at great length respecting my absence. For God's sake be most careful, as he is suspicious, and when you call have a very good excuse fur the next two months—after that period we shall be secure. I think, under existing circumstances, it would be desirable for you to defer calling upon me for a few days, when 3ou may have some excuse—as meeting out of doors is uncomfortabl e an d h azar d ous . i God bless you, &e., CHARLOTTE. Other three letters were written in the most endearing terms. Allusions were made to some disagreeable persons called, " King Richard," " M r . L am b," " P au l Pry," Ste. An appointment was suggested in Hume-street, thus—" I was thinking if it meet your perfect convenience we might meet in flume-street. There is a house to be let at the corner, which we might go into' to inquire about, and then have an agreeable tete-a-tete." Counsel continued to observe on these letters, which he said he would support by evidence above suspicion. Several witnesses of high respectability were examined, who deposed that they did not believe the letters to be in the hand , writing of Mrs. Corbett, and also that they had long known her, and considered her to be a lady of reserved habits, excel lent conduct, and unimpeachable character. A number of witnesses were called for the defence, among others Mr. Peat, a wholesale stationer, who swore that he saw the defendant and Mrs. Corbett walking together on the 10th of March, in Camden-street, and during the time he saw them, the lady kept looking up in Mr. Caldwell'. face, and talking. James Packenham, the son of a painter, also stated that he had seen them walking together once at least, but he believed twice. Mr. Chadwick, an attorney, said, I know Mrs. Cor bett. I have acted in matters in which she was concerned. I am acquainted with the character of her handwriting. I be lieve this letter to be her handwriting (the letter of the 21st February). I believe the second one to be all in her hand writing ; and I believe these two to be in her handwriting. Cross-examined—I first saw those four documents two or three days after the first information was sworn. I swear I was not charged with pocketing 4001. in the suit. I got money of a trust fund into my hand, which I paid last December. I had it about a year. '1 was in Court the day the ease was heard. don't think it two years. I had the money from the 12th July, 1829 ; it was Mr. and Mrs. Siree's money. I got it to invest in such security as I thought proper. I lent part of the money in bills. After some further evidence, Baron RICHARDS summed up, ,uad at half-past seven this evening the Jury, after having re tired for two hours, returned a verdict of " Guilty." The trial lasted two days.
