it first sight (he Says), strike every one to what an extent this circumstance affects the landed interest of England. But a very short investigation will, I think, make this matter clear to all. " The absence in Ireland of the poor-law, to which, in England, landed property contributes so largely, affects the holders of that property in two ways—_ " 1. In the first place the poor of Ireland are, through want, compelled to migrate to this country in hordes; and being willing to work for the lowest pittance rather than starve, their only alternative, they drive out of employment, in tl►e towns and manufacturing districts of England, thousands of native labourers, who fall back upon their parishes for support, and are maintained by them in idleness, or something like it, at an enormous expence. It is evidently the same thingto the English rate-payers whether they maintain the Irish paupers themselves, or an equal number of their own par►shioners, turned into paupers by the immigration of the Irish, ar►d who, but for this, would find work enough to main tain them independent of parochial relief. It is clear, therefore, that owing to the absence of a poor law in Ireland, English property is virtually rated to maintain a great part of the Irish pauper popu lation. " I do not dwell on the large sums which are paid out of the county rates directly towards the support of Irish vagrants. This, though a conside►able grievance (in the county in which I am writing, Wilts, it amounts to near 1,000/. per annum), is a drop in the ocean compared to the burthen cf sup port►ng the thousands of English labourers thrown upon their parishes by the competition of Irish, who have no other resource, owing to the absence of a Poor Latv in their own country. " 2. The second mode in which this anomaly injures us, results from the ►coequal circumstances under which the growers of farm produce in each country bring their goods to the common market. " The English agriculturist pays a heavy poor rate out of the produce of his land (we have even seen that he pays it in a great part towards the support of the Irish poor) ; the Irish agriculturist pays no poor-rate at all ! The English farmer has to pay his labourers wages, at the- rate of a shilling to half-a.crown per day. The Irish farmer hires his labourers at four-pence or five-pence per day, be cause, even this cruelly low rate of wages is better than starving; the only alternative for a labourer in a country where there is no Poor Law! Is it clear now in what way the English Landholder is injured by the want of a poor law in Ireland ? " No farmer can avoid ruin if he cannot obtain in the market a remunerating price for the produce of his farm ; that is, a price which will cover its cost, and pay him a profit into the bargain. The cost of production, exclusive of rent, consists in the ex pences of cultivation, of which labour forms by far the largest item, and the public burthens on land— viz. the tithes, taxes, and rates. Now, how is it possible for the English fanner to get a price in the market sufficient to repay all this outlay, when he is met there by the Irish cultivator, whose expendi ture in labour is not one-fourth of his own, arid who pays no poor rate, generally the very heaviest of all the public burthens on the English producer ? The Irishman, under these circumstances, can sell his corn, his cattle, his hogs, and his butter, with a profit, at prices which will not keep the English farmer out of gaol, or English farms in cultivation. Is this practically the case ? Let those who attend the markets of London, of Liverpool, of Bristol -nay, any of the principal markets of England— answer if they are not undersold in every quarter, and in almost every article, by Irish produce; by produce, I repeat, raised upon land which pays no poor rate, and by labourers who, having no legal right to existence, will work upon husks and potatoe skins rather than starve. Is this fair ? Is it just ? I say at once, and deny it who can, that it is con. trary to every sound principle of equity and domestic policy." We agree with the author, that the English agriculturists are injured by the burthen thrown upon them by their being forced to maintain a great part of the Irish pauper population ; but we have a word or two to say to him with respect to his remaining observation. We admit that upwards of three millions of quar ters of grain were imported into this country last year from Ireland, and that in Liverpool and Manchester they can dispense altogether with animal food raised in England. But we contend that the effect of imposing a poor rate in Ireland would be to increase the food raised, cheapen the rate of raising, and add to the exports. In fact, so great is the superiority of Ireland to England in agricultural capability, that the best judges do not hesitate to say, that nothing is wanted but a better system of agri culture to add enormously to its exports. At present the soil is cultivated without capital, without skill, and, consequently, in the most expensive of all manners. All that is raised, indeed, is exported, beyond the potatoes, on which the cultivator himself subsists, because, as land is the condition of existence, the peasants compete with each other for their possessions, till the rent is raised far above what they are able to pay; but still the cultivation is expensive when the return from a worn out soil is con trasted with what might be obtained from the soil by a little outlay and more skill. The first effect of a poor rate would be to aid in an nihilating this wretched system of cultivation, and to encourage the application of capital to the land. At present the peasant _clings to his little possession as the only hold he has on existence ; and woe to the individual who takes his place. But if a minimum e,f subsistence were secured to every man by Poor Laws, as in England, the conspiracy of the lower orders would at once be dissolved. The English agriculturist has a right to be protected against the incursion of poor manufactured in Ireland, to swell his own expences of cultivation ; but protection against the cheapness of the pro cess of raising food in Ireland is quite out of the question. On this principle the English agricultu rist ought to be protected against the superiority of the soil and climate of Ireland. What is it to the English farmer, whether the, Irish farmer has his advantage in greater fertility of soil, or greater cheapness of labour ? If we suppose the soil of Ireland to become double its present fer tility, while that of England retains only its pre sent, and security to be as great in the one country as in the other—and if we suppose also a limited consumption as at present, it is quite clear that the occupiers of Ireland will be able to drive tho English farmers out of their own market. This is really not much different from the fact. The improvement of Ireland is going on now at a rapid rate, and the produce must overflow our markets from the immense resources of that island. We shall soon be an exporting country, of food, to Amsterdam, Antwerp, and other Continental cities. But in the mean time, till things find their level, the English agriculturist must suffer. So sensible are tenants of this, that the competition regarding farms is all now on the side of the landlords. Prices are down, tenants believe they will never become perma nently high again, and down rents must come. The landlords who are unincumbered will do well enough. Those who are differently cir cumstanced must resign themselves with a good race to their situation, as merchants or manu facturers do when the speculations of their pa rents or their own turn out ill. There never will be any want of persons ij England to receive rent from the farmers—that is one consolation; for even Captain Basil Hall will allow that rents must be spent by somebody ; and the mortgagee of yesterday, if the landlord of to-day, fills up the blank in the spending class, that ornament of British society. We shall always have landowners, no matter whether descended from Norman conquerors, border cow-stealers, Lancashire spinners, or Jew brokers ; and as an aristocracy is founded not on birth, but on wealth, it matters not, as far as the strength of the Government is concerned, who enacts the aristocrat and who the pauper. The author of this pamphlet tells us, that " if the soil or the climate of England were so infe rior to those of Ireland, that farm produce could not be grown here, except at double the cost of raising it there, the landowners of England would resig❑ themselves to their comparative poverty, and be content to see the supply of their markets principally in the hands of Irish growers. But the superiority which we com plain that the agriculturists of Ireland possess in the market over those of England, is owing to no superior natural advantages whatever.— It is purely artificial and factitious. It is caused by a difference in the public burthens, imposed on the land of each country by the com mon Legislature." We have no doubt that he is here mistaken—we believe that the difference is owing to superior natural advantages. The poor-rates might at first add to the expences of cultivation ; but it would be more than com pensated for in the additional returns obtained from a more economical and skilful system. — The cheapness of labour in Ireland is illusory. Mr. Nimmo, the engineer, who has had great experience in Ireland, observes that a piece of work can be executed cheaper in the county of Middlesex than in any part of Ireland, and cheaper in the county of Down, where wages are nominally highest, than in the county of Kerry, where they are nominally lowest.—/bid. The public ear has been almost stunned of late with accounts of the great reductions of rent which the landowners in various parts of the country have been pleased to make on their yearly, or half-yearly, payments ; and there can be no question that much credit is due to those who, instead of driving their tenants to the Gazette, have judiciously consulted both their own interests and those of justice, in only exact ing what the circumstances of the times en abled the farmer to pay. But we should like to know where all this throwing back of 15, 20, and 25 per cent. is to end ? Have the landowners made up their minds to receive in future reduced rents from their tenants, or are the reductions in question to be con sidered as merely those of the past year ? The true answer, we suspect, would be, that a secret hope is indulged by the landowners that the pre sent difficulties of the country are merely of a temporary nature--that they will pass away in the course of a few months—that the former high prices will return, and the present nominal rentals be again paid in full by the farmer ; but nothing can be more truly fallacious. The change in the currency has put an end to high rents, as well as to high prices of every descrip tion ; and unless the landowners have made up their minds to compel the Government to re turn to the paper-money system, which can alone enable them to draw high rents from the land, the better plan, both for themselves and for the farmer, would be to consent at once to such a settlement of the engagements subsisting between them, as would enable the latter to meet them full-handed. The present low price of agricultural produce must convince every one of the impossibility of paying rents, at least twenty-four per cent. higher than when the currency of the country was part paper and part gold ; while it must be equally evident, on the other hand, that if the mind of the farmer be distracted by a sense of obligations which he is unable to meet, he neither can or will turn it to the improvement of the soil. An equitable adjust ment between the landowner and the farmer, is, indeed, imperatively called for by the circum stances of the country, and the sooner it takes place, the better for both parties.—Morning Advertiser. A Morning Paper, whose systematic insults to the Sovereign we had occasion only two days ago to reprehend, continues to heap outrage and obloquy upon a Prince who, from his character and conduct, no less than his exalted station, has an indubitable claim to the affection and reve rence of all classes of his subjects. The pre tence for yesterday's renewed attack is the out standing debts of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York, the payment of which by the King is described as a great moral obligation, which the readers of the Times are given to un derstand his Majesty neglects. Appended to this charge we find a grossly exaggerated statement of the funds at the personal dis posal of the King, the positive falsehood that every expence of the Itoyal State, even charities, are defrayed out of the Civil List, and the insinuation, as false as it is ma lignant, that the Monarch exhausts his resources in the purchase of jewels and baubles and gold plate, in utter disregard of " golden opinions:! With respect to the debts of the Duke of York, we retain too lively and grateful a sense of the many inestimable benefits his Royal Highness conferred upon the country to doubt for a moment that whatever is due to his memory— in which description we must include the satisfaction of all fair and just claims upon him—ought to be, and will eventually be, fully and liberally discharged. The claim upon the King thus urged in the tone of insolent demand, accompanied by every revolting expression of menace and insult, is, however, as preposterous as it is audacious. If the private resources of the Monarch were even more ample than they are falsely described, they would still be pre cisely such as the Legislature in its wisdom deemed it proper and necessary to assign him, not contemplating any such deduction as that upon which our contemporary lays so much stress. The argument then ought to be that Parliament has provided for the personal enjoy ments and independence and munificence of the Monarch with a too bounteous hand. This would have been untenable we be lieve, but it would have been rational and con stitutional in comparison with the view our con temporary has taken of the subject, the latter having in truth nothing to recommend it, but that it afforded an opportunity to stigmatize the conduct, assail the character, and perhaps wound the feelings of his Majesty and his immediate friends. And we now beg leave to ask his Ma jesty's Attorney-General--that Attorney-Ge neral who so recently reproved the supine ness or lenity with which his predecessors for the last ten years had regarded the abuses of the Press, if these repeated and systematic insults to the Sovereign, these un wearied endeavours to direct towards him the contempt and hatred of the public, do or a° not come within the definition of abuse ? . Is the King the only authority in the State for whose protection from outrage and calumny the law is to be impotent in his hands? Are libels upon the King to be the only tolerated libels under the system of new and wholesome seve rity which has been promised us ? Are all the minor currents of slander, and sarcasm, and vituperation, to be diverted from their natural and varied channels, to give greater volume and impetuosity to the torrent which is to over power and subdue the King ? These arc questions which the Attorney-General and the Government will do well to consider. Upon the answer they may receive in practice, for of course other answer there can be none, the cha racter of the Government depends to a degree, of which, probably, its members even have no adequate conception. The indignation of every member of his Majesty's Government is, how ever, we will not permit ourselves to doubt, suffi ciently excited by the repeated libels which have recently appeared against the King. To question this would be to impute to them an utter want of sympathy with a nation which feels itself to be insulted in the person of its beloved and venerated Monarch.—Morning Post. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOWS COURT, Jaw. 12. ET•FARTE CARNEGY IN RE LAWDER. Mr. HORNE said that this was a petition praying that a commission of bankruptcy, which had issued against William Preston Lawder, a medical practi tioner, might be superseded with costs. The peti tioner was a respectable physician (Dr. Carnegy), and the facts of the case might be brought within a very short compass. The Learned Counsel then stated that the bankrupt and Dr. Carnegy, together, purchased the business of Dr. Thompson, who re sided in Sloane-street ; that the purchase-money was 4,0001., and that it was to be paid in two in stalments; that, in fact, all the money paid on ac count of the purchase had been advanced by Dr. Carnegy, and that the bankrupt, ungratefully and fraudulently, had caused a commission of bank ruptcy to be issued against himself in order to dis solve the partnership. The Learned Counsel then read several affidavits, in which it was deposed that the bankrupt had represented himself as procuring the commission to be issued against him, in order that he might get rid of his partner. The VICE-CIIANCELLOR thought there was not the slightest evidence to show that the commission was the result of connivance between the petitioning creditor and the bankrupt, and he must, therefore, dismiss this petition with costs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jaw. 12. DOE, ON THE DEMISE OF LORD TEYINHABt, V. TYLER. The examination of witnesses for the defence was resumed this morning, after which, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who was prevented by indisposition from attending in Court yesterday, stated the plaintiff's case, and observed, that the present proceeding had been instituted with a view to connect together the title and estate of the Teyn harM family, which had been separated (as he was instructed) by means of a fraud practised upon a person not competent to understand the conse quences of the act into which lie had been betrayed. The Learned Gentleman recapitulated the circum stances of the settlement of 1757, by which the estate was limited to the heirs male of the family en titled to succeed to the title in the customary man ner ; and added, that this was an - attempt, on the part of the present bearer of the title, to recover those estates which his ancestor had considered ne cessary to the proper maintenance of the dignity of the Peerage. There was no doubt that the 12th Lord bad a legal right to suffer a recovery, and thus separate the family estates from the title, and the plaintiff would not have questioned his act, if he were not persuaded that Henry Lord Teynham had been practised upon by parties whose interest it was to bar the provisions of the original settle ment. The Attorney-General proceeded to com ment on the evidence for the defence, which he described as evidence of a merely negative charac ter, as it respected the sanity of the 12th Lord. The father of Tyler, the present defendant, was allied to the Teynham family by the mother's side, but his father was a person of low rank and ex traction. his son was an attorney, and closely connected with the Reverend Hopkins Fox, who acted as steward to the Teynham family. Mr. Tyler married the eldest daughter of the 11th Lord Teynham, in 1785 ; and in 1786 her father, the old Lord, died. In 1788, or 1789, Mrs. Tyler died, and, in the spring of the latter year, it appeared that Tyler had been carrying on an illicit intercourse with the second daughter, who eloped with him, and was delivered of a child (the fruit of her inter course with her sister's husband), or miscarried at St. Omer's. This lady lived with Tyler subse quently, and, lie believed, was finally married to that person. In consequence of this conduct, Tyler was banished from the house till 1793, the period of Betty, Lady Teynham's death. It was perfectly true that the recovery took place in October, 1789, at a time when the intercourse between Tyler and the Teynham family was suspended. But it ap peared that Tyler had confidential friends and agents in the house, although himself excluded from it. There could be little doubt that he who was finally to benefit so much by the tinselling of the estate had been active in bringing it about by his instru ments, although he took no open part in it him self. It was an evidence of consummate cun ning that he should select the period of his sepa ration from the Teynham family to accomplish his own ends by such meant. The only sound inference was, that Tyler employed John Cook and Kitty Reid, two servants possessing unbounded influence over the various members of the Teynham to bring about the recovery. On Lady Teynham's death, Tyler returned to the house, and undertook the management of Lord Henry in the same manner as his deceased mother. John Cook and Kitty Reid were active in controlling the young Lord under the direction of the Tylers. The learned gentleman proceeded to detail various circumstances and habits of Lord Teynham's life, and argued upon them as evidences of unsoundness and mental imbecility. His Lordship kept his bed all day, got up at night, and dined at four o'clock in the morning. He felt the greatest alarm with respect to fire —once in his life he was persuaded to go to a play ; he got as far as the door, but immediately returned, being afraid that the place might take fire while he was there. The servants were obliged to go about the house with lanterns instead of candles, for fear of fire. He had no intercourse with any body; kept no car riage, nor a country-house; no establishment; yet contrived to be in possession of 4,0001. a year, for 14 years, without accumulating any thing. What has become of all his money ? Who got it ? Was it the Tylers ? Who disposed of the property, it was easy to conjecture. It was John Cook and Kitty Reid, who knit their connexion closer by a marriage, and managed their master as a common property. These persons employed and paid Lord Teptham's tradesmen and servants, and transacted all his business. No doubt Lady 'reptilian knew nothing of the recovery, although effected in her life-time. It was for the Jury to say whether they would allow the deed in question to stand, which had been procured from an imlsecile young man, by a person who married one of his sisters and seduce:l the other. _ _ _ The deposition of Edward Jeremiah Curteis, of Windmill-hill, in the county of Sussex, Esq., was pat in. The deponent resided at Oriel College, Oxford, in 1781, and saw Henry Lord Terdiam at that period; in his opinion, Lord Teynham was not competent to the transaction of business in the usual way. Robert Jarvis formerly lived with a Mrs. Bull, in Magpie-lone, Word. Recollected Mr. Henry Roper when Ai Oriel College. He lodged in Mrs. Bull's house, and witness waited on him. His tutor's name was Twopenny : there was nothing particular in the tutor's conduct. He always went out with Mr. Roper. Mr. Roper did not keep much com pany. The tutor generally gave orders. There were two other young gentlemen in the house They generally paid their bills themselves,—that is, when they paid at all.—(Laughter.)—So did Mr. Roper, as witness believed; but he did not know the fact. John Betteriss recollected Mr. Roper at Oriel College. Witness was butler there. Mr. Roper was a very singular young man. He never drank wine. Witness believed that Mr. Twopenny paid his bills. I carried round the letters (said witness), but I never carried none to Mr. Roper, and there (striking the box and speaking with emphasis), and there, gentlemen, I lost a fee.—(A. laugh.)—lt is a truth that I tell you, gentlemen. I carried him no letters because none came.—(Laughter.) Mr. Twopenny appeared to control Mr. Roper, and was always with him. Mrs. Geiswellard knew the late Lady Teynham almost from the period of witness's birth. Had frequent opportunities of seeing Henry Lord Teyn ham when a child ; he appeared weak in intellect and weak in body. Resided six weeks in the house in Clarges-street, in 1781. Henry was then a boy ; he went to school at Kensington-gore; he was afflicted with hernia from his infancy. Recollected the second Miss Roper quitting the house, it was supposed, with Tyler. ITyler never was suffered to enter the house afterwards while Lady Teynham lived. The elopement took place on Easter Mon , day, 1789. There was a servant in the house named John Cook : at first he was under footman. Remembered a maid in the family, named Kitty Reid. After her husband's death, Lady Teynharn managed the house. The young Lord had no control whatever. Never saw him read or transact busi ness in his life. Never saw him enter into con versation with man, woman, or child. He was fond of drinking, and would not quit the dinner-table. His mother used to send for him up stairs; but generally in vain. He was more reserved and retired after his sister's elopement than before. Knew the first Mrs. Tyler; believed she was not very happy in the latter part of her life. She ap peared very uneasy a short time before her con finement when witness saw her. She died shortly afterwards. Cross-examined by Mr. Seijeant WILDH—Were you older or younger than Lord Henry ?—That is an odd question to ask a lady.—(A laugh.) Yes, we are sometimes obliged to put awkward questions. I want to ascertain the maturity of your observations upon young gentlemen.—(Laughter.) [After considerable hesitation-J-1 think there was not much difference between us. Believed the death of the first Mrs. Tyler took place in March, 1788 ; and that the elopement of Catharine Roper occurred about May, 1789. Had been on visiting terms at the present Lord Teynham's during the last three years. Dined at his Lordship's house three or four months ago, and met Mr. Maule, the plaintiff's attorney, upon that occasion. Never saw Lord Henry dance or ride. He could walk pretty quick, for he had a good pair of long legs; but I never walked with him, so can't speak posi tively as to his action.—( Laughter.)—When he heard a knock at the door, he would run out of the room. Mrs. Mitford, daughter of the Hon. Philip Roper, and sister of Lady Chambers, went abroad in 1777, and returned in 1786. Recollected Henry Lord Teynham. He looked like an idiot; he had large prominent eyes, and stared about without seeming to understand or notice what was going on. Cross-examined.—He was ♦ery ugly to look at —(A laugh.)—He had thick lips, large eyes, and a vacant stare. Lady Barbara Chambers, sister of the last witness, was acquainted with the Hon. Henry Roper before he became twelfth Lord Teynham. His mother had an absolute controul over him. The tradespeople used to call Lady Betty " my Lord."—(A laugh.) —Knew Mr. Tyler. He seemed to have a away over every one in the family. Benjamin Winter was apprentice to Mr. Turner, of New Bond-street, in 1793, and remembered the funeral of Betty Lady Teynham. Had seen Henry, the twelfth Lord, before the funeral.. On the 12th, the day of the funeral, his Lordship ordered the procession to go round Hawley-square twice, that the neighbours might see the grandeur of the fune ral. This excited the curiosity of the populace.— The outer case of the coffin was made of mahogany. They took down appropriate coffin-plates, handles, &c. The mahogany case was not in the shape of a coffin. His Lordship asked whether men had been engaged to stand at the head to prevent the corpse from slipping off the men's shoulders, as there was a flight of steps at the church-yard. He appeared as if his face had not been washed for a long time, and he had a long beard. He was depressed and melancholy till the populace noticed the precession, and he then appeared pleased. He did not seem affected as a son ought for-his parent's death. He wee lolling out of the coach window, looking at the crowd. When the coffin was brought to Linstead church-yard, the crowd seized the banners and deco rations, as is sometimes done. His Lordship no ticed it, and the men at . the head of the coffin leav ing their places, the coffin fell and was considerably injured. Lord Teynham cried out, " Shove it in again." The coffin was got up and carried into the vault. There was a lock to the coffin and two keys. One was placed in her Ladyship's hand to let her self out if necessary.—(A laugh.)—Witness's convic tion was, that Lord Teynham was of unsound mind. Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant WILDE—WI t.• ness was what was called in his line of business a mute at the funeral. The mutes rode first. The witness, after fencing for a good while, at length exclaimed in a very rough tone, if you ask for me at Pancras workhouse, you will find me ; I have been there these four years.—(A laugh.) Oh, oh ! what brought yea to the workhouse ? —Misfortunes to be sure; I lost 15,0001. by the 1:1, 2 , solvent Act. _ _ _ How; by taking the benefit of it ?—Yes. I thought so. How long is it since you toek the benefit of the Insolvent Act ?—Perhaps eleven or twelve years ago. Can't you tell exactly ; you didn't take advantage of the Insolvent Act twice? Yes; I did. Come, that is pretty well. Who gave you the clothes you wear, and how long have you had them ?—I got them from my friends, and have had them this considerable time. Will you swear you have had them six months ? Yes, I have had the pantaloons two years, I got them from my son. Oh, I did not talk of your pantaloons. I can't see whether you have any on or not ?—Yes, but I have, and you are welcome to examine them if you like.—( Laughter.) No, I thank you.—You may go down. It being now six o'clock, the Court adjourned till to-morrow morning at the usual honr, when the re mainder of the plaintiff's case will be proceeded with. PROSPECTS OF TIIE IRON TRADE.-lit meeting of the iron-masters of Staffordshire, last week, it was, we understand, agreed to blow out 15 blast furnaces, in the hope of improving the trade. This decision may possibly have, in a small degree, the effect intended ; hut what is to become of the workmen, and their families, who, are employed at these establishments? We regret to learn that the greatest discontent prevails between the masters and their men, owing to the constant reduction of wages effected by the system of Tommying. We have heard that CRAWSHAWS, the Welsh iron-masters, have 60,000 tons of iron in stock.—Macclesfield Courier. It is singular that while the snow has been lying on the lowlands about eight or nine inches deep for the last fortnight, the south side of the Grampians are hardly covered. The consequence has been that the usual practice has been reversed, and the sheep have been sent from the low grounds to the hills to graze. In Glenquec•h the snow that has fallen this year barely covered the ground.— Perth Courier. THE ARMY. LORD FITZROY SOMERSET'S LIST. Major-General Lord Fitzroy Somerset, K.C.8., as Mi litary Secretary to General Lord Hill, G.C.B. and G. C.H., Commanding in Chief, went through his list yesterday, at his office in the Horse Guards. A few Generals and about fifteen other offi:ers transacted military business with his Lordship. The officers now on leave of absence from their respec tive corps and depots, and the non-commissioned officers and privates on furlough, are required, by the General Order, to return on or before the 10th of next March. The 62d Regiment, now at Limerick, is to proceed to Madras in the spring of the present year, to relieve the 89th, which is to return to Europe. The 57th Regiment will proceed from New South Wales to Madras, on the arrival from England of the head quarters of the 17th, which may be expected to take place about the latter end of next year. The .2d battalion of the Ist Foot will then return to Europe. (From the Limerick Chronicle, Jan. 9.) Major Broke, Quarter-master General, has succeeded Major Vincent at Cork ; Major Vincent is appointed Quar. ter-master-General in the Dublin district. There are now in Ireland seven regiments of Cavalry, 12 brigades of Artillery, 19 infantry regiments, and 25 re serve companies, constituting a force of 24,700, exclusive of Military Staff and Yeomanry Corps. The Henry Porcher transport sailed from Gibraltar for Malta the Bth of December, with two companies of the 73d Regiment. The 14th Regiment of Foot is, by permission of his Majesty, to retain on its colours and appointments the word " Cortuma," in which battle the 2d battalion was engaged. A Garrison Court-martial assembled this day at the Castle Barracks, for the trial of some soldiers. Major Singleton, 62d Regiment, President. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

(From the London New Price Ceerrent of yesterday). SUGAR.-There was an extensive demand for 3fusco vades last week, both by the grocers for the country trade, and by the refiners who are in full work, which is an unusual circumstance at this dull season of the year; the estimated sales were nearly 5,000 hhds. and tees. ; the prices were rather higher than at the commencement of the week, making a general improvement of about 20. per cwt.. from the late lowest state of the market. The deliveries from the three warehouses last week were 3,500 hhds. and tees., being about 700 more than last year ; the stock is now only about 700 hhds. and tees. more than in the corresponding week of 1829. At the close of the market the estimated sales this day were 1,200 birds. and tees., including the St. Lucia and Barbadoes ; 388 hhds. and tees. at public sale, the former was a good parcel; the soloury St. Lucia all above 50s. sold Is. higher than the last sale. Average price of Sugar last week 225. Bd. Refined goods rose last week Is. per cwt. both fine goods, and the low qualities for export; the shippers were eager contractors fur goods to be delivered six weeks and two months hence, for which they had to give fully Is. per cwt. above the present market rates.- Molasses dull. FonsloN Straart.-The public sale of Havannah Sugar on Friday consisted of 425 cheats; all the sound was taken in, and good white 41s. a 48s. ; good yellow 275. a 28s. ; the washed sold at very full prisms.

Bd. a 2s. 10d. ; some favourite marks were sold at high prices. There were few purchases of Leewards, as the holders would not accept the late prices, otherwise the sales would have been very extensive ; the Market looks firm. Brandy and Geneva continue inquired after. To-day some pur chases of Leeward are reported; proofs Is. 9d., and 4 over Is. 10d. ; we estimate the advance at 2d. per gallon from the late lowest point. W00r..-Nothing doing in Wool is consequence of the frost, but we expect the manufacturers must come freely into the market as soon as the seinen operas.

SALTrrran..---Saltpetre is bell with much firmness, aid the prices are a shade higher. By public sale this forenoon, 641 bags good quality, chiefly sold at 26e. Corrow.-The public sale of Friday, 919 bags Bowed', went off at full prices, sd. to good fair sil. a 6d. The market has been quiet, but the prices are firmly maintained; the purchases by private contract for the week lading last night inclusive are too trivial for insertion. hurl Paovniosrs.-In Beef or Pork there is little alteration. Butters appeared to rally last week on account of the return of frost, but yesterday the market again became dull. Bacon is heavy.

As has generally been the case at corresponding Ses sions in former years, the Calendar, on the present occa sion presents, when we consider the short interval since the last gaol delivery, a fearful number of prisoners .fur trial ; but the cause is generally attributed to the distress which at this season of the year induces some to commit. crime in order to satisfy the cravings of hunger. Out of the number of persons committed, 32 are charged with capital offences, yet there is no case either of forgery or murder. Notwithstanding the activity of the new police, there are 25 Middlesex prisoners charged with street rob beries, or what is termed stealing from the person. IS must be gratifying to the civic authorities, and the citi zens generally, that only 34 persons are implicated is crime, and but five of those of an aggravated description• ♦ SUMMARY STATEMENT, DESCRIPTIVE OP TIM VARIOUS OPPIWCSI KITH WIIICII THE PRISONSAS SETSIALLT STAND CZAILOSD.
