might perhaps he explained. _(Hear. )--Perhaps the Hoc. Baronet opposite would answer these ,sintple questions. It had ben stated, that since June, 1821, 150,0001. had been saved upon salaries ; but he now asked the lion. Member what had been the amount of the superannuation* since that period ? And with respect to the superannuation al lowances granted to two sons of Cabinet Ministers, he asked whether they bad not been made on account of offices from which the holders were removeable at pleasure ?—( Hear.) Mr. PEEL had never preSumed to advise the Hon. 131 mart un the subject of his motion. The Hon. Baronet twice gave notice of his intention to move a resolution con demnatory of the mode in which Government had tilled up the office of Treasurer of the Navy.—(Hear.)—And aft.r hearing the explanation offered to-night in reference to that transaction, the Hon. Baronet still persist, d in his resolution, and pledged himself to bring the question be fore the House : let the Hon. Baronet do so. He re peated, he gave the Hon. Baronet no advice on the subject : he only expressed a hope that the Hon. Baronet would persevere in proposing a resolution " condemnatory of Government." The Hon. Baronet appeared to draw a distinction without a difference between a " condemnatory resolution" and a " vote of censure upon the Government." For his owa part he could see no difference.—(Hear.) — He had already expressed a hope that the Hon. Baronet would bring forward his resolution, which had certainly been twice postponed, and was now glad to hear that the Hon. Baronetintended to do so. In saying this lie was far from attempting to dictate to any one—he would not even presume to advise the Hon. Baronet; he only ex pressed a hope that the motion would be brought forward, in order to obtain the opinion of the House on the subject of the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers.—(Hear.) Mr. Aldtrman THOIIFISON said it would be de structive to the commerce of the country if we reduced our naval force. Sir R. WILSON begged to state his reasons for voting azainst the amendment. While Spain was carrying on war with South America, he could not vote for reducing our seamen, because it would peril our commerce. Again, while Russia had a force of thirteen sail in the Black Sea, and of twelve sail in the Levant, and France was fitting out an expedition, he thought our naval power would not bear reduction. Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY addressed the House amidst loud cries of " Question." We understood tho Hon. Baronet to object to the amount of the marines kept up at Portsmouth, and to say that nothing that had fallen from the other side of the House had been satisfactory to im on this point. Sir G. CLERK, with respect to the questions that had been put to him by the Hon. Baronet (Sir James Graham) opposite, begged to observe, that the annuities and allow ances of reduced officers were regulated by Act of Parlia ment. As to the Commissioners of the Navy and Victualling Boards, they could not properly he said to hold their offices for life. They were appointed by patent ; it was not vustomary to remove them ; and they were entitled to re tire on a superannuation allowance of three-fourths of the salary of 1,0001. a year. Mr. G. LAMB could not have voted for the proposition of reducing the number of men, nor could he support the proposition that the vote should be taken for six months only, because he was unwilling, under existing circum stances to give foreign nations an idea that we thought of nothing but reducing our force. Mr. lIUME replied. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and a division took place, when the numbers were— For the Amendment 47 Against it l4B Majority against the original motion --101 Sir G. CLERK then proposed the following Resolu tion :—" That 980.2001. should be granted for wages for the said 29,000 men, at the rate of 21. 12s. a man, a month." • _ _ _ _ _ Mr. HUME objected to going on at that late hour. Sir G. CLERK understood that, as the number of men had been voted, the Hon. Member could have no objection to pay their wages. He asiured the lion. Member that to delay this resolution would be an incon venience to the public service. Mr. FLUME had no wish to produce such an effect. The resolution was then agreed to, and the House re sumed.--Report this day. WAYS AND MEANS. • - - On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX. CHEQUER, the House went into a Committee on the Ways and Means. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed a resolution " That, towards making good the supply granted to his Majesty, the sum of 12,000,0001. be raised by Exchequer Bills." Mr. GORDON took this opportunity of asking the Right Hon. Gentleman if he intended to introduce a new set of Stamp Laws, and to increase the stamps on legacies. He had heard in the legal profession that such was the in tention of Government, and that it had already given rise to great speculation. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that ,nr some time past the consolidation of the Stamp Laws had been under consideration, and that be hoped shortly to be Able to lay the result before the House. It was natural that the consolidation of Acts should give rise to speculation, but, as to debate the subject at that time would tend to increase that speculation, he should abstain from further particulars. After a few words from Mr. GORDON and Mr. WAR BURTON, this resolution was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved a resolution—" That there should be issued and ap. plied, for advances on aee.ount of public works, &c., any sums paid into the Exchequer by the sth April, 1831." .—Agreed to. The next resolution was—" That towards making good the supplies granted to his Majesty, there should be issued and applied the sum paid into the Exchequer before the Mb April. 1831, by the Governor and Company of the Bank of England." Mr. HUME. thought that the Bank ought to be paid less than it was at present for management. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the charge for management was a matter of engagement which could not be broken through. Mr. MABERLY thought it no more a matter of en. gagement than others which had been modified. The resolution was then agreed to. The next resolution was, that towards making good the supplies granted to his Majesty, there be issued and applied the sum of 60,0001., to be paid into the Exchequer by the East India Company ou account of forces serving in India. Mr. HUME thought that the Company ought to pay more. They did not pay half enough. The resolution was then agreed to, The next resolution was, that towards making good the supplies granted to 144 Majesty, there be issued and ap plied the sum of 80,785/, being the surplus of Ways and Means in the years 1823, 1824, 1825, 1826, 1827, 1828, and 1629. —Agreed te. The House reaumed.—Report to-day. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past One o'clock. In the list of the majority that voted against Lord Joux Ressztes motion on the 23(l ult., is omitted the name of the lion. Colonel W. F. GRANT, M.P. for Elginshire. Lord KILLEEN was on Monday unanimously returned a Knight of the Shire for the county of Meath. An active canvass has been commenced on behalf of Mr. Low; WELLESLEY, who has most extensive estates in this county. His own tenantry, who are warmly attached to him, would be likely to place him high on the poll. He has started late, and that circumstance is the only forcoidable one against him.-- 7 -Ifent and Essex Mer cury. A Deputation from the Committee of Drury lane Theatre, accompanied by Mr. Cirnails KEMSiLE, had last week interviews with the LORD CHAMBERLAIN and the Secretary of State for the Home Department, on business relating to the interests td the Patent Theatres. A most brilliant Aurora Borealis was see' from Elgin and its neighbourhood on Friday night last, Elgin Courier. On Friday evening Mr. WATSON delivered a lecture M the Royal Institution on the efficacy of his plan for preventing ships found e ri n g at sea. The Onke of SOMERSET was k the Chair. Mr. WATSON exhibited some ingenious experiments in proof of the advantages of his discovery. These experiments were performed on a small model of an 80-gun ship, and certainly were succe.s ful in their results as regarded the model. A teak was sprung prior to the application of the air -tubes, and the I model, of course, soon sunk ; the air-tubes were then applied, and the leak sprung as before, but a very different result occurred. Far from sinking, the model, though completely filled with water, and having weights propop tionally equal to the 250 tors above the average weight of 80-gun ships, attached to it, remained above water. In the course of his lecture Mr. WATSON stated that his plan bad been communicated to the Emperor of Russia, the Kin of the NETHERLANDS, and the President of the UNITED STATES, from each of whom he had received the moat flattering aelpowledgmente.

Despatches were received at the Colonial Office this morning from Sir JAMES LYON, Governor of Barbadoes, and from Major-Gene ral Sir It TURNER, Governor of Bermuda. Hamburg Papers of the 23d February con tain the following interesting account of the Speech addressed to the Emperor of ItussiA by the Turkish Ambassadors, and his Imperial Majesty's answer, which is highly pacific, but seems to leave the question of an abatement in the terms of the treaty of Adrianople to the mission of Count ORLOFF, now at Contantinople ST. PETIRSIBUILCH, FEE. 13. The address of the Turkish Ambassadors to the Emperor, delivered by Mohammed Halil Ripbat Pacha. " Most powerful, most august, and magnanimous Em peror ! The great mighty and glorious Padishalt and Monarch of the Ottomans, our Sovereign Lord and Master, who most earnestly wishes solemnly to confirm the peace so happily restored between the Sublime Porte and the Court of your Imperial Majesty, and establish its gua rantee and duration in perfect unanimity and concord, between his Highne-s and your Majesty, has been pleased to honour us with a special mission, and to confide to us two letters, which we have the happiness respectfully to deliver to your Imperial Majesty, together with the pre sents, as a mark of his high respect for your Majesty's august person. " His Highness has expressly enjoined us to give to your Majesty the most sincere and positive assurances of the high value which rests on your Majesty's friendship. The splendid virtues of your Majesty do not allow the slightest doubt of your justice and magnanimity. his Highness confides with pleasure in your wi-dom and generosity, and depends upon it as every thing that can most strongly and irresistibly establish a perfect concert and unbounded confidence between him and your Majesty. " For ourselves we esteem it the greatest happiness to have been found worthy of being the organs of th e mos t cordial relations of goot - 1 will and friendship between two such great monarchs, and to have the opportunity to con template the exalted virtues of your Majesty, which attract the attention and admiration of the world." The Emperor's answer delivered by the Vice-Chan cellor. " The Emperor, my august master, receives with the most lively pleasure the expressions of the sentiments which the Padishah and Emperor of the Ottomans has commissioned you to offer to his Majesty. Your assur ances are the more agreeable to his Imperial Maj sty, be cause in the principles and sentiments you have expressed, Russia and the Porte have a pledge of the duration of the peace concluded between them. The only object of the Emperor when he concluded it was to establish the peace on a solid foundation. The maintenance of it now depends on the fulfilment of the Treaty of Adrianople ; but you, Gentlemen, may assure your august Monarch, that the best security of it will be his confidence in the friendship of his Imperial "Majesty, and the assurances which his Highness has given personally to Count Orloff. It is agreeable to his Majesty the Emperor that his Highness has selected you for this mission, which his Imperial Majesty hopes will consolidate the friendly relations, which are so happily restored be tween the two powers." In the speech to the Empress, the Ambassadors offering the compliments and presents of time Sultan, expressed their sense of their good fortune in paying homage to the Em press of Russia, and the daughter of a Monarch who has given such unequivocal proofs of the interest he takes in the welfare of the Ottoman Empire. Her Majesty's an swer, delivered by the Vice Chancellor, expresses her sa tisfaction with the sentiments manifested by the Sultan towards her Imperial Majesty, and espe cially with the tribute of respect to her father ; time Chancellor also assured them that the Empress would with pleasure embrace every opportunity during their stay t o give them proofs of her good will. German and Dutch Papers have been received this morning, but their contents are nut of suf ficient importance to be extracted in our present of strong excitement, or in the delirium and stu por resulting from it, to a country restored to health and reason. The second election, however, after the war in Spain, was marked by such a series of electoral frauds, that the nation was effectually juggled out of its rights, and the New Chamber represented any thing but the express image of popular opinion. Mat ters, however, were very differently managed in 1827. A new law had been passed, which guaranteed the purity of the votes as far as the electoral colleg* s extended ; and the result has been to produce a variety of shades of opinion in the Chamber, the whole of which, with the exception of one small minority, were impressed with a Jeep feeling of resentment against the system of Govern tnent pursued by the Administration, which had thus been overturned. " This, then, is the present state of the Chamber, which it is proposed to dissolve; but what, it may be asked, is the condition of the country, to which it is un derstood that an appeal is about to be made. The French people have certainly never complained of too much energy or activity in the present Chamber, but rather of its patience, its moderation, and even its timidity. •As the Electoral Colleges are now formed, frauds will not be effected without the greatest difficulty; so that it is to be presumed that the result will be an expression of the ge neral feelings and opinions of the country, whatever these may be. The prefects and the local authorities have not the same confidence as under the Villele Administration, in the stability of the existing order of things, and probably will not risk their future influence in supporting the pre sent Cabinet by any indirection. The electors themselves have a better knowledge of their rights, and more firmness in maintaining them than heretofore ; they have acquired the habit of watching over the lists, and will not fail to pursue the individuals who may be guilty of tendering fraudulent votes, by carrying them before the tribunals, which, happily for the peace of this country, are above all suspicion. " It would not be easy to calculate, even with a to lerable degree of accuracy, the probable amount of profit and lose, of increase or diminution, which the different sections of the Chamber will respectively experience on this new appeal to the constituent body. If you ask the opinion of a Frenchman on the subject, his answer is liable to he affected, without any imputation on his since rity, by the particular shade or division to which he hap pens to belong. The opinion I have formed, as a mere uninterested observer, is that .the left centre is the section which will gain most considerably, and the right centre that which will be the greatest loser; I conceive also that the extreme left will gain, and the extreme right will lose, but both to a smaller amount than the centres. " A number of the Deputies have been to the Chamber to fix on the seats they mean to occupy in the approach ing Session. It is remarked that Berryer fi/s, the new Ministerial Member, has inscribed his name on the seat lately occupied by the Count de la 13ourdonnaye, which is supposed to amount to a declaration that lie considers him self the leader of the party who sit at the extreme right of the Chamber. It is said by those who are not his friends, that time seniors of that party ate not likely to consider this assumption as any striking indication of modesty. • " M. de Martignac has, it seems, had a private au dience of his Majesty within these few days, which lasted for three quarters of an hour. This circumstance has given rise to a great many conjectures, but nothing that can be relied on has yet transpired. " It is reported that an encroachment is to be made on time French sinking fund, to the amount of ten millions of francs, fur the repair of roads and canals, and of twenty five millions far the reduction of the wine tax." " PARIS, PER. 25. "Yesterday afternoon the usual preparatory meeting of the Menthers of the Chamber - of Deputies took place in the temporary building prepared for their accommodation daring the Session, which may now be said to be begun. Although the object of this meeting was merely to draw lots for the deputation of twenty-five, whose duty it is to attend the King on Tuesday next at the Royal Sitting, the attendance was considerable, amounting, by some cal culations to 250, and by others, to 280 members. The Provisional Chamber is divided like the old one into four great sections, as if to adapt itself to the divisions of the parties by whom its benches are to be occu pied. It is known that in this country the idea of a necessary analogy between the locality of a member's seat, and the political opinions he professes, is car ried much farther than in the British flame of Commons. Yesterday, for instance, it was remarked that Monsieur de Martignac took his seat, in the right centre, indeed, but as far to the right of it as pos sible, and so near to the extreme right, as to be able to shake hands with the avowed supporters of the present Ministry. He had formerly sat in the same section of the Chamber, but considerably to the left of his present posi tion, and the change was considered as more remarkable from his being the only Member of the present Adminis tration who did not resume the very place he had occupied before engaging in his ministerial functions. The benches on the extreme right of the Chamber were much more thinly occupied than those of any of the other sections, not containing more than from 30 to 35 individuals ; but this is, no doubt, in some measure to be ascribed to the absence of the Members who belong to the Cabinet. Behind the ministerial benches were M. Arthur de la Bourdonnaye, M. de Laingle, M. Vaulchier, M. Villeneuve, &c. In the right centre there were only from 70 to 80 Members, and it was observed that M. Agier, and the party who are stigmatised as the defection by the ministerial writers, took their places in this section, occupying the highest seats in it, near the left. The left centre was the most numerous of all, amounting to upwards of 80, and the bencl•es of the extreme left were occupied by from fifty to sixty Members. Among these were observed the two LafayetteP, father and son, the two Latittee, Messrs. Corcelles, Salverte, Thiars, Bayeux, Benjamin Constant, Casineu, Augustin, and Alexander Perrier, General Sebastiani, the elder Dupin, nod many others of note. Nothing like discussion took place at this meeting, but there was a great deal of animated conversa tion between individual Members, in which they commu nicated to each other the views and feelings of their consti tuents in the various departments from whence they have arrived. The subject of the Presidency was also a topic of general conversation. The three great parties opposed to the Ministry seem to have concentrated their wishes on M. Royer Collard, who is understood to be willing to resume his former functions. But as the Chamber has only a right to suggest a list of five individuals to the Crown, it is of course in the power of the Ministry in this par ticular to disappoint the wishes of the majority. At yesterday's meeting the chair was taken by M. Labbey de Pompierres, in right of seniority; and the deputation with M. de Pompierres, as doyen, at its head is to consist of the following members, viz. : the Viscount d'Alzon, the Marquis de Vaulchier, Viscount de Tertre, M. Odier, Viscount d'Aubancourt, Count de Murat, M. Bai!lot, M. Debelleyure, M. Legendre, M. Fleury, M. Argot, M. Bourcleau, M. Martel, M. St. Aignan, M. Chevalier- Lemore, M. de Vau4euil, Count Guebeneuc, 31. Debray, Count de Preissac, Baron Theuaid, 31. Bertin de Vaux, Count de Lobau, Count de Lameth, and the Count de Lariboissiere. _ _ _ " Yesterday also a trial teok place in the Court of Cessa tion, the principle recognised in which can hardly fail to be attended with vexatious consequences to the conductors of the periodical Press, so long as the spirit of ,prosecution is encouraged against them on every frivolous pretext. The present question arose in the shape of an action of damages, at the instance of fourteen individuals, forming part of a considerable body of gendarmes, residing at Rhodes, who cited M. Guise, the conductor of the Constitutionnel, be fore the District Court of Rhodes, charging hint with de famation against the whole corps to which they belonged, committed in a Paper known to be published at Paris. The defendant's attorney, without entering into the merits of the cause, took several objections to the competency of the Coact, and the right of action on the part of the plaintiffs. The Court, however, having sustained its ju risdiction, an appeal was carried to the Royal Court at iontpelli4r, by whom the original judgment was con firmed. This decision having been quashed fur infor mality, the cause was remitted to the Royal Court at Thoulouse, where a similar judgment was pronounced, and it was against this last judgment that the appeal was taken to the Court of Cassation. The principles thus estabiiahei ;pay be stated as follows : " I. That any individaal cnneeivinghitnselfegerieved by a statement in a public Journal, may tiring his action against its conductors in the court of the district in which he him self resides, without being compelled to have recourse to that in which the Paper is printed. 2. 7114 t public bodies, although attacked in their col lective capacity, and without tiny ipAividual or personal distinction, may bring prosecutions for defamation 4gairkot the publisher of the Paper, by which they are attacked, in Op name of any one or more of their number, without the conei.r;:eui:c of 0)e majority, and without any previous deliberation or conference zn the snbjpet," The New Police are freed from paying toll we passing over Waterloo or Vauxhall bridges in their uniform.

Accounts from Egina, 2d January, state that Prince Ypsilante had given in his resignation, which was ac cepted. In the Foreign Market little doing at present, Greek stock continues firm.

According to the appearance of the market, Cowls have recovered from the sickly state they were in for these few days. The extreme fluct►ation during the morn ing has been from 92k to 92k buyers for the Account, and at the latter price they remain at present ; this im provement is attributed to a disappointment of a large delivery of stock which it was said would have taken place this morning. Consols for Money 92 to k. We under stand that within a few days large sums of money have been paid at the Custom-house on Wines and Sugar, which has improved the revenue in that department, and it is said that Ministers are not for the present in want of money. Demerara Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee to the 14th January, but they do not contain any thing of consequence. In the Foreign Market Greek has been the chief speculation, and done at 45 ; Brazil stock is also higher. THREE 0' CL 0 CK. Consols for Account, 92k. FOUR O'CLOCK.—CLOSING PRICES.

Suca R. —The deliveries of British Plantation Sugar, last week, from the West India Docks, were nearly 3,000 casks for home use; and, as the landings were limited, the stock has been reduced to 19,800 hhds. and 1,500 tees. The supply of good Sugars is scarce, and holders appear firm; but not much business has been done this morning. The arrivals of Mauritius are pretty large, about 6,000 hhds. having been landed last week, making a stock of nearly 3,800 bags. In foreign and refined goods there is no variation of consequence to-day. The COFFEE market remsins without much animation. The deliver ies of RUMS, last week, from the West India Docks, were nearly 600 puncheons, principally for home use, and the stock is now above 20,000 puns. and 1,500 hhds. Prices are steady. _ _ . The East India Company's TEA sale is proceeding. The Boheas have been gotten through, and the Congous are now selling briskly. Tobacco.—The attention of the trade is drawn to a French contract, announced fur the 16th instant, but as the stock on the spot is considerable no material effect in priees can he anticipated. A few purchases for Holland and Flanders have recently been made of Virginia, of or dinary qualities, from lid. to Sid. per lb. The demand for stemmed and leaf Tobacco is dull. The delivery last month was 754 hlls. ; 335 for the home trade. SALTraxas continues firm, at 525. per cwt. The Hor Market is steady. Choice bags realise from 7 to 8 guineas. BALTIC PROMICE.—The commercial accounts from St. Petersburg!' are to the 14th instant. The Exchange was at 10k. Tallow 88 rubles—here the price is 345. The delivery last week was 345. 3d. per cwt. The stock is 28,600 casks. LITERATURE. MAUNDER'S TREASURY OF KNOWLEDGE. LolinoN, 1830. This is indeed a 'Treasury of Knowledge, and does infinite credit to the Editor's (Mr. Maun der) diligence, perseverance, and ingenuity. We have first an English Grammar ; secondly, an English Dictionary ; thirdly, a Gazetteer, or Compendium of Geography ; fourthly, a Classical Dictionary ; fifthly, A Law Dictionary ; sixthly, a Collection of Scriptural Proper Names, ac cented for pronunciation ; seventhly, a brief and pertinent Epitome Of Chronology and History—the great and leading landmarks are laid down with consummate skill and cor rectness; and lastly, the crowning merit of the whole, an admirable Abstract of the Prin cipal Tax Acts, together with Interest Tables at four and five per cent. When we say that all this various, important, and practical information, is disposed of within the limits of a thick but portable and closely-printed duodecimo, yet that nothing really valuable has been omitted, we have said, we conceive, quite enough to con vince our readers that " The 'Treasury of Knowledge" is one of the most serviceable and admirably compiled digests in this, or, we may add, in any language. 'The very mar gin is turned to account, and filled in every page at top and bottom, and on either side, with a choice collection of useful truisms, idioms, and sententious observations of the most emi nent classic writers in the language. The cost of the whole volume is but seven and sixpence ! The type, though small, is distinct and legible even to old eyes ; the paper handsome, and the tout-ensemble such as would do credit to any Gentleman's Library. There cannot be the slightest doubt that Mr. Maunder's own private treasury will considerably benefit by the circula tion of this public one. It must have taken him an age to have compiled such a work. WATERFORD ELECTION. THURSDAY, FHE. 25. The rioting this day has been tremendous. The Bar ions, whose only hope seems to consist in delay are striv ing cunctando restituererein. Every objection they can imagine is started against the voters. They objected to ninety-five to-day, by which means they had a nominal majority of one on the day's poll, which was announced by the Sheriff, amidst thundering acclamations. Mr. Sheil immediately stated that, when the objected votes weredia posed of by the Assessor, it would be found that Lord George Beresford had a majority of fifty-four. Nothing could exceed the fury of the mob at this announcement. If they could have laid hands on their former idol, they would have made minced meat of him. There are now only 300 voters to be polled, and Barron must have two thirds of them to come up to his opponent. FRIDAY. Beresford Barron Majority • --33 Majority ou the gross p01l The system of objecting to votes has been carried to such au extent on both sides to-day, that in the Sheriff's return the voters are—for Beresford 27, for Barron five. But even upon the Sheriff's return of this day, without re ference to the votes which will be allowed to-morrow, Lord George has a clear majority of 78 ; and as there are but 110 unpolled meu in the county, the game is up with Lieutenant Barron. (From the Second Edition of the Waterford Chronicle of Saturday.) FOUR O'CLOCK. The polling has been going on rather slowly this day. The Assessor occupied since eight o'clock this morning up to the present hoar in going through the number of disputed votes—of the number of these votes as yet admitted, or of the votes polled to-day, no calculation has as yet been made, but it is supposed that there is rather a considerable majo rity in favour of Lord George Beresford. The most flagrant bribery has been going on, on the part of the Beresfords, up to the last moment. The following letter has been received by W. BURRRLI, Esq., M.P., from J. PLANre, Esq., respecting the payment of the hop duties:— "TREASURY, FEE. 25, 1830, " MY DRAB have laid your letter of the 26th inst. before the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and I am directed by him to acquaint you that orders will be forth with issued to the Excise to suspend payment of the hop duty, mentioned in your letter, until the 10th of Sept. next.—Believe me to be, my dear Sir, your's very faith- fully, " JOSEPH PLANTA." " Walter Burrell, Esq., M.P."—Sussex Advertiser. COLLECTION Ow POOR RATES.—It is a fact that WILLIAM BowLts, a labouring gardener, a pa rishioner of the parish of Layton, in Essex, is now in Chelmsford gaol for 15s , being half a year's rate in arrear. He was taken from his present dwelling at Upper Clapton by three men, with a magistrate's warrant, and pleading inability he was carried to prison. What can the vestry think of this proceeding, even should the poor man pay the demand, when they see pounds on the other side charged for expenses, and the lbs. in the body of the war rant is all the parishioners can recover, the imprisonment under the statute being only until that sum is paid? CUMBERL AND ASSIZES.—The Calendar for this county is more than usually heavy, and several of the prisoners stand charged with capital offences. We have not heard of much civil business of importance.-- Carlisle Journal. COURT CIRCULAR. The Princess AUGUSTA, attended by Lady Masi Tel -I.°r, left Worthing at nine o'clock yesterday morning in her carriage and four, and came to town, where her Royal Highness arrived about four o'clock in the afternoon. A Cabinet Council was held, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Earls BArtfunsr, IlossLybr, and ABERDEEN, V►scount MEL VILLE, Lord ELLENBORODCII, Mr. Secretary PEEL, Sir GEORGE Munanr, the CHANCELLOR of the EYCHeQUER, and Mr. HERRIES. The Council eat in deliberation near two hour,. The French Ambassador Lai an intezview yesterday with the Earl of ABERDEEN, at the Foreign Office. The Spanirla and Pruswiao Ministers trat.sacted bueines 3 yesterday at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Afftirs. The Duke of WELLINGTON, as Lord-Lieutenant for Hampshire, gave a grand dinner on Saturday evening, at his residence at Strathfieldsaye, to the Judges going the Western Circuit, Mr. Justice GASELEE and Mr. Justice BOSANQUET ; the High Sheriff of the County, the Judges' Marshals, and a party of the Nobility and Gentry of the County, were present to meet their Lordships. The Judges slept at his residence, and breakfasted there yesterday morning. The Duke left . Strathfieldsaye at an early hour yesterday morning and came to town. Mr. Secretary PEEL gave a grand dinner to a numerous party of Members of the House of Commons on Sunday evening, at his residence in Privy gardens. Among the party invited were the Earl of BELFAST, Earl of DAR LINGTON, Earl of BRECENOCK, Viscount VALLETORT, Viscount CASTLEREAGH, Lord Dowxis, Lord A. HILL, Lord W. Pacsr, Lord H. THYNNE, Lord CHARLES MANNERS, Lord ROBERT MANNERS, Lord BINGHAII, Hon. Colonel WALPOLE, lion. R. CLIME, Sir CHARLES GarvILLF, Sir H. Coors, Sir R. HILL, Admiral SOTHE RON, Colonel LYGON, Colonel CHICHESTER, Mr. Raz- GIBBON, Mr. P. SIDNEY, Mr. ASMIYRST, Mr. BURRELL, Mr. CARTWRIGHT, and Mr. H. 'l'. Hore. Earl BATHURST entertained a party to dinner on Sun day at his residence in Downing-street. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. At the early part of the afternoon (although the room was numerously attended) the betting flagged terribly; in stead of talking of this year's Derby, they were descanting upon last year's St. Leger, the comparative merits; of Chifney and Scott. One important movement, however, was made in the St. Leger, which created quite a sensation. The Cressida colt was brought into notice by some of the chief speculators, and backed by them with remarkable avi dity as low as 14 and 15 to 1 ; he also maintained his ground fur the Riddlesworth and Derby. This extraordinary change cannot arise from any other influence than that of money, for none of the horses have had hard work enough of late to enable their trainers to try them. As the after noon advanced several gentlemen Jropt in, amongst them a gallant Captain, who was remarkably sweet upon Saw Chifney's Wrangler colt (an unfashionable sort), named Snarl. Ile not only took the odds outright, but backed Una against many others for a thousand each. The Mouse colt produced a most important feature in the betting ; up to five o'clock the odds currently offered were 9 to 1, and these very freely, by a person of considerable influence: At this time a gentleman connected with the Mouse party made his appearance in the room, and, by his anxiety to back the horse, not only stopped the nines to one, bat had the curious effect of making the offer of them turn round and back him at even against the other three favourites. The revulsion was complete, and at the close of the betting Mouse was at S to 1 only, and nearly as good as Cressida. The Mummer is tolerably firm at 84 to 1, while Bruns wicker is any thing than steady at 10 to 1. The Sal colt daily gets into greater force. Little was done on the Oaks beyond taking the odds about Capt. Haffenden's Slipper filly (by mistake called Spindle last week). The day's business did not close till after six o'clock, and averaged al follows : RIDDLESWORTII. 2 to I agat Mr. Chifney's Cressida colt Nothing else talked of, and no business done, DERBY. 800 to 110 agat Mr. Chifney's Cressida colt 8 to 1 agst Lord Cavendish's Mouse colt 81 to l agat Sir Mark Wood's The Mummer 10 to 1 agst Mr. Petre's Brunswicker (taken) 13 to 1 agst Sir M.

It is remorse. The frightful condition of a guilty conscience is said to be exhibited with awful effect. It is generally believed that the Speaker will, about Easter, be called to the House of Peers by the title of Lord Lxxmcnow. This title, though now extinct, war about a century ago borne by one of the &mow family- The alsocia'ions which, some fifty years ago, would hays made this title not very agreeable, are now almost forgot ten ; for who now feels a personal interest in the origins or progress, or results even of the American war? Ss- ._. . verel candidates for the Speaker's chair are mentioned ; but it is premature to give the names. We may, how , ever, have occasion to recur to this subject. Last Saturday fortnight a rattle-snake made its escape on the Oxford-road, from one of the caravans belonging to Mr. WOMBWELL. We have been informed that this unwelcome visitor has been seen and beard in the neighbourhood of Hardwick, two miles from Eun church, but has not yet been caught.— Cambrian. BIRTHS.
