We received last night the Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday, and the Etoile, dated Thursday morning. They do not contain any news from the Peninsula. The Quotidienne of Tuesday shews the falsehood of the statement in the Etoile of that morning, (which we published on Wednesday,) that three of the Portuguese Chiefs had been committed to an escort of Gens d'Arrnes, by alluding to the well-known fact that there are no Gens-d'Armes in Spain. The same Paper accounts for the recall of the Spanish Ambassador the Duke de VILLA HER MOsa. The French Government having re called its Ambassador from Madrid, the Spanish Government follows the example, and a Charge d'Affaires will supply the place of the Duke.— Count OFALIA had passed through Bayonne on his way to Paris. The Etoile or Thursday has a long arti cle , from the Augsburgh Gazette, dated Con stantinople 2d of March, detailing the sub stance of a long conference which M. de RIBEAUPIERRE had had with the REIS EFFENDI. It is said, that after M. de .RI BEAUPIERRE had explained the principles on which Great Britain, Russia, and France (which latter power is said to have agreed to co-operate), had determined to interfere in behalf of GruY,e, and after M. de RIBEAUPIERRE had exhausted all imaginary arguments, the REIS EFFENDI, Very coolly answered, verbally, by what lie had already said to M. MiNztacxY, on the 2d February, that the Porte could not admit any foreign intervention in this affair; but that the proposals of the powers should be laid before a Great Divan. No answer, however, had been received on the 2d March. Extracts of these Papers will be found in ano ther column, al,d we subjoin the Prices of the Stocks in Paris, which scarcely vary.

It is stated, on the authority of a letter from Florence, in the French Papers, dated the 18th inst. that Lord COCHRANE had captured the Egyptian corvette which was built at Marseilles. We entertain no doubt that such has been or will be the case, as his Lordship had marked her for his prey ; and it would be difficult for her crew to resist the boarding party with which his Lordship was prepared to visit her. New York and other American Papers reached town last night to the 9th inst. They contain intelligence which may be con sidered as of some importance ; namely, that the Bill for regulating, or rather for preventing commercial intercourse between the United States and the British Colonies, had been lost, in con sequence of the Senate and House of Represen tatives not having been able to agree with respect to certain amendments made by the latter, which they refused to abandon, and the former refused to adopt. The numbers by which the Bill was lost were 20 and 25. The question, therefore, between this country and the United States is exactly in the situation in which it stood prior to the Session, and it remains for the American Executive to act on its own responsibility. On this subject considerable doubt and anxiety exist. The general opinion, however, is, that a Proclamation, containing the provisions of the proposed Act will be issued to meet our Orders in Council. Congress, closed its Session on the 3d inst. We subjoin some extracts from the National Intelligencer (From the National Intelligencer of March 3.) The Session of Congress terminated, in effect, last night; for no legislative Act can pass the two Houses on this, the last day of the Session (without a suspension, by both Houses, of the joint rule upon the subjeet.) The two Houses sat last night until after midnight. The most important subject which occupied the attention, at the latest hour, was the Bill respecting the trade with the British Colonies. The disagreeing opinions amongst Mem bers, and the disagreeing . votes between the two Houses, may possibly defeat the Bill altogether. Postscazrr —Titus z o'CLoerc, •.x.---The Senate con thlued in session until after two o'clock, and the House of Representatives until near three this morning, having pre viously suspended the rule which forbade the passage of any Bill on the last day of the Session. The consequence was, that several Bile; were deferred until to-day for final decision. Amongst them is the Colonial Trade Bill, which, from the decision of one House to adhere to its amendment, and the probability that the other will not yield, leaves little doubt of the failure of the Bill. We shall he happy, however, to find ourselves mistaken. OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL INTELLI6ENCEIL—EXTRA. MARCH S.—The two Houses of Congress adjourned this day, between four and five p.m. after one of the most severe Sessions that we remember. The leading fact disclosed by them, is, that the bill con cerning the Commercial Intercourse with the British Colo nies, has wholly failed, and that the whole subject is left precisely where it was at the commencement of the Session of Congress. The proceedings of the last Session of the Congress, which closed its term on Saturday, and especially those of the Senate, will receive the serious consideration o f t h e people of the United States. It is our purpose, hereafter, to notice them more particularly. It need not be di sgu i se d that towards the close of the past Session, we presume by some of those " combinations" of which Dr. Floyd, in his late address at Richmond, made a precious confession, the Opposition ole-ine'l a small majority in the Senate.. We will select only 1 fi.w prominent instances, to show how this majority was disposed to use the ephemeral power so obtained. " 1. The wool_bill (this measure, so important to the great interests of our country) was, in effect, rejected by the casting vote of Mr. Calhoun, the Vice-President. " 2. A committee appointed the majority of the Se nate made a long repo rt on the subject o f t h e 'G eorg i a con troversy, of which 3,000 copies were ordered to be printed for distribution among the Peopl e o f t h e U n ited States, coun tenancing and encouraging th e G overnor o f G eorg i a . " 3. The bill for converting a portion of the 6 per cent. debt, i n t o a d e b t b ear i ng an i nterest of 5 per cent., w hi c h passed the House of Representatives, was lost in the Senate. By the failure to pass a bill last year, in consequence of the now acknowledged error of Mr. Louis M'Lane, the country lost about 90,000 dollars. By the failure of the Senate to pass this bill it loses a like sum. " 4. The Colonial Bill was lost by the refuial of the Senate to agree to an amendment of the House of Repre sentatives, without which the measure would have hnmi liated this eountry.. And now Great Britain is left in pos session of the monopoly of the navigation concerned in the int ercou rse, unless the, President feels himself authorized to 'lose our ports under the act of March, 1823 t 'Whatever regret will be felt at the course pursued by the Senate in the above instances,' the people will derive much tatiefaetion from knotting that that of their imme diate representatives was directly the reverse of it. a We must add, as one of the remarkable incidents of the last session of the Senate, that Duff Green, the editor of a paper notorious for the scurrility or its columns, and its utter disregard of all decency and truth, received the votes of 23 senators of the United States to be the printer of the Senate." mA R G H 3..—sTOCKS. offd. askd United States (Sixes) 1813. .102 802, 1814. .102 102 815...105+ Sales Bank, United States 1171 1171 'We trust that the events of last night will satisfy the enemies of Mr. CANNING that it is vain to resist the lofty destinies of that great man. They have envied, they have hated, they have undermined him in every possible way, but they may as well endeavour to divert the planets from their course as to obstruct his bright and splendid career. The thundering acclamation s of the House of Commons, on Mr. TIERNEY'S expressing his confidence in Mr. CANNING, were a satisfactory proof of the opinion of those who grant the supplies, and were alike creditable to the Right Hon. Gentleman, and to the Members of the Opposition. Mr. PEEL is a much younger man, and may fairly look forward to succeeding Mr. CANNING as Premier at some future period ; and those who would advise him now to assert his claims, are actuated less by regard for him, than by a vain idea that they would find in him the sup porter of their narrow-minded policy, because, in one point unfortunately, he happens to agree with them. It would be no reproach for Mr. PEEL to serve under Mr. CANNING; but to the decision of our Gracious and discriminating Sovereign, we shall bow with the respect be coming faithful and devoted subjects. By recent letters from Rio de Janeiro, it, appears that Jciao Severiano bad been appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs; Francia, for Justice; Don Francisco Luchano, for Marine. The Minister for the Home Department retained his situation ; but, for the Department of Finance, they had found no person able or willing to undertake the Finance Department. These letters add, that these constant changes, for which no sound or good reason can be found, prove of serious inconvenience, and give rise to much distrust. The proceedings of the House of Commons, last night, possessed an extraordinary degree of interest. On moving the Order of the Day for receiving the Report of the Committee of Supply on Civil Contingencies, Mr. TIERNEY opposed the motion upon two grounds, the nature of the grant itself, and the situation of public affairs, from the want of an ostensible head to the Govern ment. The objections urged by the Right Hon. Gentleman to some of .the items, we shall pass over for the present, as the grand object of his argument was to resist a :Irate on account of Civil Contingencies, without the House knowing with whom the responsibility of, its expenditure rested. The Right Honourable Gentleman then at great length stated the forbearance with which his side of the House had acted in not embarrassing the Government with any hasty in quiries ; but that with every feeling of the pro-. priety of acting with delicacy towards Lord Li- VERPOOL, he conceived, as there was no longer a hope that that Noble Lord would be able to resume the exercise of the functions of his office, that arrangements. ought to be imme diately made for the formation of an Admi nistration. After describing, in forcible language, the situation of the country, and the necessity of an united and efficient Administration--an Admi nistration capable of insuring the respect of Foreign Powers and the affections of the people, Mr. TIERNEY concluded by moving that the consideration of the Report be deferred to the IstMay Mr. CANNING, in his reply, ',hewed the ne cessity of the vote on 'accOunt, for the' pur:pose of carrying on the public service ;. ant justified the delay which had taken place with respect to the appointment of a successor to the Noble Lord. Without flinching from the responsi bility of that delay, the Right Honourable Gen tleman implied that the kind feelings of his MA JESTY had partly occasioned it, from his wish that Lord LIVERPOOL should not, upon awak ing from his trance, find himself divested of his office. But that delay was now at an end ; His MAJESTY, said Mr. CANNING, " has " made a communication to the immediate con " sections of the Earl of LIyERPOOL, that the " time was come, when, whatever pain it might " occasion him, he must fill up that chasm in " the Administration which his loss had oc " casioned, and in stating this he was sure it would " he a satisfaction to the House, as it had been " to those who advised his MAJESTY to adopt " that step, and as it had been a heartfelt satis faction to his MAJESTY to adopt that step, " that when that communication was made; the " Noble Earl was in that state of hedlth in which " he was perfectly conscious of its nature, and " entertained and expressed the greatest pleasure " that his feelings should have been so respected." Mr. TIERNEY pressed his motion to a division, and it was lost by 153 to 80. Although Mr. CANNING did not pledge him self to, a precise time when this important question will be settled, we have little doubt that the arrangements will be made, as we mentioned yesterday, when his MAJESTY, comes to town, next week.

On the arrival at that Port of the Finsbury transport, in twelve days from Port Royal, with a division of the 50th Regiment, under the command of Captain Ryan , the Captain-General of the Island, paid the most polite attention to the officers of the division ; and the novelty of a British corps arriving there, attracted great crowds to witness their arrival in the harbour. It appears, by an account just printed by or der of the House of Commons, that the amount of poor rates in England and Wales, for one Year, ending the 2 0 th of March, 1826, was 6,966,1511. Bs. I t i s . a dd e d, that from 90 places, but in whi c h the assessm ents an'ineensi derable in amount, no returns have been received ; so that the total sum, therefore, may be fairly taken in gross figures at about 7 , 0 00,000/. Of this fractional amount, as above stated, the sum derived from land is stated to be 4,795, 4814 16a. ; from dwelling-houses, 1,814,228/. gs. ; from mills, factories, &c. 259,5641 . 114 ; and from manorial profits, 96,6811. 163.

The Committee on this election resolved that Lord Fife tr.7s not duly elected to serve in Parliament for the county of Banff, and that John 'Morrison, Esq. was duly elected, and ought to he returned. But that neither the petition nor the opposition to it was frivolous or vexatious. _ This decision is in direct contradiction to that which the Court of Session came' to respecting the right of voting ; whereas, in the petition respecting the Crail Burghs, the Committee determined that they were bound by the deci sion of the Cou r t o f S ess i on , an d cou ld not go i nto t h e merits of the petition. The omnipotence of Parliament alone can account for this inconsistency. The Committee on the Dublin Election objected this day to hear any evidence respecting the interference of the Ca tholic Priests. The case of bribery is closed, and it ap pears that the number of votes vitiated leaves Colonel White in the minority, but he undertakes to make a similar reduction on the other side. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. PORTSMOUTH BANK. Ex-PARTS GIBSON IN THE MATTER. OF INIINCHIN AND OTHERS, BANKRUPTS. His LORDSHIP gave judgment in this matter to-day.— The question for decision was, whether the representatives of the late Mr. Goodwyn were entitled to proceed against his partnership in competition with the joint creditors.— The Court held, as it had done in the matter of ex-parte Sheath, that the separate assets must be applied for the benefit of the separate creditors, and that the joint estates must go to the joint creditors, with this exception, that if the- joint creditors were not fully paid they had a right to go against the separate estates. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor had permitted a claim to be made for the account alleged to be due to Mr. G.'s separate estate from ilia. partnership, against which claim, the matter. had been ,brought to this branch of the Court, upon an appeal; and his Lordship considered the words of the late Act of Parliament so clear, that until all the joint creditors were paid a partner could not prove against a partnership, that neither the proof nor the claim could be remitted in this case. When a claim was direct ed, it was usual likewise to direct asum to be set aside to answer that claim, which interrupted the sum that would otherwise go to the other creditors, and which, to that extent, had the effect of a proof being made upon which a dividend was to be paid. This Court, therefore, looking at the circumstances of this matter, felt bound to direct, the Vice-Chancellor's order allowing a claim to be set aside. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. INJUNCTIONS. Mr. PARKER applied this morning for an injunction to restrain a Mr. Woodridge from enclosing a common called LOl4-field Heath, situate in the parish of Chorlewood, in the county of Surrey. ,The Learned Gentleman was proceed ing to read the affidavits in support of the application,when he was interrupted .by The VICE-CRANCELLOR, who inquired what irreparable injury would result from the enclosure, which it was sought to prevent. Mr. PARKER Confessed that he did not think the in jury would be irreparable. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—We shall soon have injunc tions to restrain a party from crossing a square—injunc tions .are ,a3ow applied fur upon every occasion as matters of course..

LENT ASSIZES--(RECETVED TH! DAY) HOME CIRCUIT-HORSHAM, FRIDAY, MARCH 30. THE ICING V. FORREST, ALIAS FORBES, ALIAS ROSE, ALIAS FOX, AND LANGSTON. Mr. Astnaaws opened the case, and read the indict ment, which charged the defendants with keeping a brothel, and with procuring women to prostitute themselves there in, for the sake of filthy lucre. Mr. Sergeant TADDY observed, that the prosecutor was a gentleman, practising as a solicitor, and residing in a house which was his own freehold, at No. 25, on the New Steyne, at Brighton, and being a fixed inhabitant of that town, and having a permanent interest in the character of the houses in the neighbourhood, he of course felt a more lively concern in any circumstance which might operate to their deterioration, than those persons would do who were mere occasional visitors of that fashionable watering place. Of the character or situation of the defendants, previous to their arrival at Brighton, he should say nothing. He should commence by stating, that on the 30th of July, being the eve of the Brighton Races, the defendants arrived at No. 24 on the New Steyne, in a carriage and four, and attended by a footman and maid -servant, and there took up their residence. He should observe, that the hall doors of the houses, No. 24 and 25, were immediately adjoining, and were ascended by a flight of steps, which were common to both, and, as may be supposed, the nuisance, from the bad conduct of the house occupied by the defendants, became more intolerable. The conduct of the defendants on the race course, loon attracted attention, and excited suspicion as to their characters. From the time that the occupancy of the house commenced till they quitted it, on the 14th of September, repeated acts of groE7 indecency will he proved to have occurred within it. ,They seemed to have no idea that decency was neces• nary, for on one occasion, they ,rere seen acting indelicately a bed-room, the blinds of which were undrawn ; and when remonstrated with on the subject, Mrs. Langston, in the hearing of Mrs. Forbes, said to Mr. Barrow, " bless me, how you must have been amused." Mr. Barrow was a married man, and could not but feel indignant at the annoyance to which his family were exposed. He bore it as long as possible, but finding that all remonstrances were vain, indeed so much so, that Mrs. Langston said out of the window, " We shan't go yet, we shall stop a little longer and annoy the neighbourhood," he placed a placard in his window, with the words, " Beware of the bad house, No. 24." This had the desired effect, and the defendants quitted the house. A few days after wards, they returned, and Mrs. L. on that occasion came and tapped at Mr. B.'s window, and said, " here we are again, where is your d—d old wife." Other disgusting language, in which most horrible propensities were impu ted to Mr. B. in the hearing of his wife, followed, but which he should abstain from repeating. The defendants finally left the town. But how came they to do so ? It was because a summons had been served upon them to ap pear before the Magistrates, and it was not till the eve of the day on which they were to appear that they took their departure. The Learned Counsel then called Air. Barrow, who stated that be was a solicitor, and lived at No. 25, in the New Steyne, which was his own freehold. In July last year No. 21 was to be let; it be longs to a gentleman living on the Grand Parade ; the windows in front of the houses on the New Steyne are how-windows. On Sunday, the 30th July, the defend ants took up their residence at No. 24 ; they came in a carriage-and-four, and were attended by a male and a female servant. The defendants had not been in the house half an hour before they came out upon the drawing room balcony, and waived their handkerchiefs to some gentlemen who were walking on the Marine Pa rade. The gentlemen made a sign of recognition, and the ladies went down and paraded with them. Dees not know who those gentlemen were. A Mr. and Mrs. Nairne were on a visit at his house at the time ; he had also a young man in his house, to whom he was guardian ; he sent him away, for fear he should be contaminated ; Mr. and Mrs. Nairne quitted at the time they bad fixed ; they were to hare returned, but did not. In consequence of the conduct of the defendants becoming worse and worse every day, he sat up to watch them of nights. He found that generally, after a gentleman entered, a bell rang, which he found, from observation, was a notice to the servant that she was to get the bed chamber ready. He had seen, from his garden, men and women go up into the bed rooms, and in some instances, where the curtains were undrawn, and the candle placed in a particular situation, so as to enable him to see into the rooms, be had seen acts of gross indelicacy on the parts of both the melt and the women—(the witness particularised them.) — The men,- shortly after thus retiring, used to leave the house. Has repeatedly seen the defendants go after men, and bring them into the house. On one occasion two gentlemen came, and went down the area, and returned, one carrying- on his arm one of the female servants. He went in the direction of the parade; the other gentleman followed arm is arm with another servant. The nuisance was so great, that Mrs. B. was obliged to live in the back of the house. Remembers on the evening of the 7th Sept. seeing the defendant Forrest sitting at an open window, in front of the Stepae. A gentleman passed by; eke called to him, and asked hint to come in, observing that she was all alone. He did go in. Heard the Gentleman ask when she would quit the house, and heard his reply ; she did not know ; she meant to stop to annoy her neighbours. The nuisance still continuing, he, on the 7th of September, put up a placard in his window with the words .4 Beware of the Brothel, No. 24, New Steyne." Repeatedly told Gentlemen, who he saw going into the house, what sort of place it was. After the bill was put up four gentlemen called on him, and in conse quence of what they promised on the part of the defend ants, he took it down. On the 10th of September, the defendants, after being absent two days from their house, returned, and Langston, who was accompanied by a gentle man, who witness believes to be an Officer in the Army, said to witness, " Where is your d—d old wife. You see we are not gone yet." Forrest, and another gentleman, were within hearing. Forrest afterwards used the grossest epithets towards him, calling him a woman-hater.— He told her she had better pull the blinds down in future, to which she replied, it must have been fine amusement for you. Forrest then went away, and witness after a time asked Mrs. Langston, where her companion, Mrs. Forrest, alias Mrs.' Fauntleroy had gone. She did not answer, but went in doors. On Tuesday the 12th of September, he went before General Simeon and Mr. Mil ford, and preferred a complaint against the defendants, for keeping a brothel. The Magistrates granted a sum mons, and fixed the hearing for Thursday, but on the even ing previous to that day, the defendants left the town in the same style, and accompanied as they were on entering it. After his interview with the Magistrates, he took down the placard, but afterwards put it up again, and was shortly after called upon by two gentle men, who abused him about the placard. One of them t lem an threatened had to a s h e o n his er rs d ewhi s pi v i i i mt to horsewhip hisbandatthe him. The etime. He genhas seen, he believes, a hundred different gentlemen at the house. Cross-examined by Mr. Amermus—The windows of l o ;e s m u t the his house do not overlook the windows of No. 24, with r p a o l se f s em th a e le y s the exception of the bow window in front; has seen seve o ral were r t e h the e house eran t o ; c c h u a y: ed n by reason a t a h n e n defendants tnthtieek imlt ; t ld g n ie is s r ee ob n le m m o en re ,s th so a n n s, tw at en i t e y a ; st h t e he h y ad seen a wbne enteroeoiet s l r fd w a i h o . n y we n o ; : ii l t o i slsuniwasnotewito;thrsesiwiueheraeas swear positiv el y positivelyhs e op e ro e es n i c tt o ih a v u al hundred i d en t i fy had, : d e te i a ff on n e y t r th e o h n e f i t i. btye would 0 his he had seen sixty ; out to ara t l o shoe h s i eh m eand as such; had seen a elergymar , per son enter the house, who he believed to be a Nobleman ; house, and also many gallant officers, also many persons answering to the denomination of finished gentlemen. Ha-s seen boys of 17 and men of 70 years of age enter the house. Has seen a gentleman go in at night, and not e reen pointedter th e leave till the following morning. None of the other resi dents on the New Steyne have concurred with him in this prosecution. Had indicted Mrs. Forrest under as many different aliases as he had heard she had passed by as many different names. Had included one of the names in conse quence of an anonymous letter he had received. Mr. Nairne, of Barnard's-place, East Grinstead, was on a visit to Mr. Barrow when the defendants arrived. H e saw them within an hour afterwards walking on the drawing-room balcony, and making signals to gentlem en . Saw thm on Monday evening in front of the house, front seven till nine o'clock, talking to some half-dozen gentle men. They acted with great levity. On another occa sion, two gentlemen came up, evidently with the view of entering the house, but seeing witness, they retired. lie saw the defendants almost every day ; their conduct was the reverse of that of most women. He left en the fifth day after their arrival, and did not return, as he did not wish his wife to be next door to a house in which such strange and curious conduct was going on. Did not see any indecencies practised inside the house. Jane Penfold, is servant to Mr. Barrow; had seen gen tlemen go to the house at all hours of the night and day; the ladies acted very strangely. Mr. Am:menus, on behalf of Mrs. Forrest, said, that while he felt the most sincere compassion for his client, he could feel no other sentiments than those of contempt for the Pettifogger who had brought her there, metely for the pur pose of making his name resound through the kingdom. Hie poor client was a mere girl—she was only 20 years old, and he could not therefore but feel compassion for her siltation. Tatty, With tiles &Nay Which always charasterised him, had abstained from noticing the former circumstance under which his elicit had keen placed, but not eneh was the conduct of the prosecutor. He took care in his evidence not to forget the alias he bad omitted in his indictment, and had accordingly introduced her as alias Fauntleroy. A. s h e had thus been mentioned, he felt it necessary to state, that at the very early age of 14, and before reason had at tained to maturity, she became the victim of that man, whose crimes bad brought him to a justly-deserved death, and who, in addition to his other crimes, had to Answer for the ensnaring her from a boarding-school, and effecting her seduction. After this he continued to live with her up to the time of his apprehension; and by him she bad two children. With respect to the aliases, it was sufficient to observe, that the name of Forbes was assumed by de sire of Mr. Fauntleroy ; and that in consequence of the nos toriety which circumstances afterwards gave.to it, she had changed it for Forrest. The name of Rose she had never as sumed, and the prosecutor had no other authorityfor ita intro duction than an an anonymous letter. The other was her pa ternal one. So much for the aliases. He would ask whether, under these circumstances, his client was not an object of compassion ? With respect to the present indictment, he would contend, that even admitting as true all that had been sworn by Mr. 8., still there was no proof of her hav ing kept a brothel for lucre. A woman might lead a lewd and dissolute life, but still could not be touched for so doing under an indictment framed like the pre sent. He did not mean to say his client was leading such a life, on the contrary, he was instructed that she was Living a chaste and regular life. There might be some levity about her conduct, but then her early seduction, and consequent seclusion from respectable female society would account for that. There had been no proof of money hav ing passed, and that was an allegation which was not to be left to inference. It was asked, how else she could live ? He would answer that question,—he who had so deeply injured her, on finding himself irretrievably lost, as the only reparation he could make her, assigned over to her an an nuity, which the assignees had continued to her, though they had declared to her that if this indictment was proved against her, they should withhold it for the future, as it was not intended to aid her in immoral pursuits. The Learned Counsel proceeded to cite from the Brighton He rald the description of the persons stated by the prosecutor to be frequenters of the house ; that they consisted of Noblemen, honourable and dignified Gentlemen, Reverend Clergymen, gallant Officers, and fuaished Gentlemen;— in short, that they consisted of " persons of all ages from the stripling of seventeen t? the decrepid matt of seventy." Why, had these things been true, all Brighton would have been in consternation, and y e t no one comes forward to complain but Mr. B. The Learned Counsel here burst forth into a most bitter phillippic against Mr. 8., and wound up the climax by an observation as to his more than brazen countenance. Mr. Sergeant TADDY interposed, and appealed to his Lordship whether such language was to be tolerated. His LORDSHIP spoke in a low voice, but from what we could catch, he was of opinion that it was too strong. Mr. Anor,enus would not repeat it, but at the same time he would contend that it was the ancient, honourable, and valuable privilege of the bar, to call all things by their right names, careless who might be affected thereby. With respect to his client's going down to Brighton, the fact was that she had been ailing, and bad coin@ down with Mrs. Langston purely for the benefit of her health. He might. perhaps, rest his case as it at present stood, but anxious to remove all suspicion, he should call all the inmates of the house to prove how it was conducted, and should also call a host of most respectable inhabitants in the neighbourhood, who would tell them that they bad experienced no annoy ance. Having so done, he should confidently look for their verdict. Mr. COAIYIP followed on behalf of Mrs. Langston, but was interrupted by ' Mr. Justice LirrLznaLE, who observed to Mr. Ser geant Tararr, he had been looking over the indictment, and found that each count charged the defendants with pro curing women to prostitute themselves for hire. Now this could not apply to themselves ; and it was clear from the evidence that there were no females to whom it could apply, It was true, assuming Mr. Barrow's evidence to be un shaken by that about to be offered, they might hare a ver dict on a part of a count, charging the keeping a bad house, but then it was not usual to take a verdict in that way. Mr. Sergeant TAIMT, after conferring with his client, was willing to submit to anything that his Lordship might suggest. Mr. Justice LITTLEnALz could make: no suggestion, he must leave it to the discretion of Counsel. Mr. Sergeant TADDT then said, that his client did not wish to catch a verdict, and would therefore consent to their being acquitted. The Jury accordingly, under his Lordship's direction, declared them Not Guilty. His Loananze then observed, that Mc. B. had acted very properly in coming forward as Public Prosecutor.— He had obtained his end, the abatement of the nuisance, and had therefore no reason to complain of the issue of this indictment.

DISTRESS IN THE COUNTRY.--Yesterdey about noon, as three can laden with eats from the County Limerick, were passing on the road about two miles at this side of Caller, they and their owners were attacked by a mob of country people, who opened the sacks and tossed the oats about the road. The greater part of the corn Was afterwards carried off by the women in their aprons. Pre sently after, a load of pigs' heads, containing 16 cw t. was stopped, and every pigs' head carried o ff. I t appears that some persons from the neighbourhood of Caber, had gone a few days since into the County Limerick to buy potatoes, (where they can be had much cheaper than in this county) that having been attacked and beaten there, and not suffered to bring home the 'p o t a t oes , they were determined to retaliate on the aounty Limerick people. The poor people who carried off the pigs' head were suffer ing under that worst of calamities, hunger.-- Tipperary Free Press of Wednesday. i
