and Learned Member for Clare, stated that it was a part of the measure in question so to apportion the business as to provide that the Court of Exchequer should for the future do a fair and reasonable share of the work of the.country. It sounded well to propose that they should bring justice to every raan's door, but in practicaloperation it might not he so convenient. The local Magistracy would betottie mixed up with the interests of families, and it wos hardly possible to avoid partiality when the same gentlemen were sent again and again to administer justice amidst the same local associations. Mr. O'CONNELL explained. He had not desired that local tribunals should be composed of persons seittled from their respective neighbourhoods. Mc. JONES defended the el aracter of the Welch Judges, and observed, that several of the molt distin guished ornaments of the Judicial Bench had previously filled the office of Welch Judge. Whether England avould he content with three additional Ju Iva when those at pre sent existing were not all employed, he did not pretend to say, hut it was certainly bard that the interests of Wales should be made the ladder by which ambitious barristets were to climb to such preferment as three additional seats on the Bench must necessarily induce. It was admitted on all hands that the Welch were attached to their present institutions ; and he could not bring forward a better proof of their feelings than the fact that the inhabitants of 'Denbigh sent in a petition against this Bill, although the potent Wynn had mustered all their influence at the meeting in that town, for the purpose of opposing ►ts being carried. Mr. C. W. WYNN, in explanation, stated that thz.-. Denbigh meeting was not nnanimous, and that the mea sure was favoured by the inhabitants in consequence cf their expectation that the assizes would be held in their own toms. After a few words from Sir c. COLE and Mr. FEIL.- CUSEON, Mr. PEEL observes!, in reply to those Hon. Members who indulged in irrelevant declamation on topic's extrinsic of the subject before the House, there was quite enough of reform proposed in a single Bill, without wandering into a field so diversified and extensive. He could assure those who had expressed themselves so anxious for delay, that there was no design whatever on the part of Government to force this measure on the people of Wales without giving them abundant time to consider it in all its bear ing.. Streit a disposition he thought had been satisfae eerily evinced already by his Right Han. Friend when he gave notice of his intention so early after the commence ment of the session. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL professed himself dis poser, to give all the time for delay which could be con ceded consistently with his intention to have it passed through both Houses of Parliament before the expiration of the session. He could not agree with the Member for Clare in what he had said with respect to special pleading, as he considered the present system unobjectionable, and there was no becoming a good lawyer without attaining a competent knowledge of the system at present in opera tion. Those who were concerned in bringing forward this measure had undergone the severest labour in prepar ing it for the Legislature ever since the second week in November. and that, he submitted, did not manifest any undue or inordinate desire to spare themselves. Mr. HUME animadverted on some observations that had fallen from the Attorney-General, conveying, as he conceived, a sneer of ridicule, which was directed against Mr. Bentham and the doctrines advocated by that writer and his followers. Instead of sarcastically reviling such a man as Mr. Bentham, he thought it would be well for the Attorney-General, if he would cultivate his principles, arid lalseir to attain the same exalted character in the estima tion of the civilised world. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL disavowed having made any disrespectful allusion to Mr. Bentham or lie writings, and he could not help thinking that a very in sidious application had been made of any expressions he might have uttered. He entertained a high respect for Mr Bentham, whom he bad not the honour to know personally, although he was acquainted with those who were OA intimate terms with that gentleman. It did not fellow, however, that the respect which he felt for the writer was to extend to an adoption of his opinionm. Mr. HUME regretted that he had misunderstood the Right Hon. Gentleman, and was happy to bear him dis claiming any disrespectful intention. Mr. P. THOMSON obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Usury Laws. The Game Laws Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and tke House adjourned at Three o'clock.

JAMES'S PARK.—It is generally under stood that his MA .1 ISTY graciously and kindly condescended to order that a footway should be made from the end of Carlton Palace into the Park, and two arches were left open for that purpose. Many of your readers will, no doubt, be surprised to learn that a wall is now being built, intended to carry palisades, not only to prevent in gress in'o the Park, but to enclose a large space for a pleasure-ground, which, when planted, will, in a short time, exclude from public view nearly the whole of the Park from Carlton-plane.—From a Correspondent of the Morning Herald. A pretended princess of the blood royal of "'ranee, the soi disante widow of Abdula Kaam, Prince of Persia and Mysore, was brought before the correctional police of Paris on Thursday last, charged with swindling and vagrancy. The interests of the trial consists in the details of the lady's history and claims, which nearly re semble these of a Princess nearer home, but we have net room for them. The widow of Abdul* Kaam, whose real same tarns out to be Herbea, was acquitted on both charges. \\ T ATER/ORD.—When the majority of 78 was declared by the High Sheriff on Friday night, the mob, who had been hoodwinked up to that moment by Mr. BARAON'a maneeuvre of objecting to good ♦otes, lost all their good humour, and rented their fury against !Steam. " Ha, Siam., this is your doing, you turn-coat. Have you tike halfpenny with the two harps in your pocket ?" This question was an allusion to the good luck of Lord Gsoa.E 13ZAZ3TOKll i■ baring tossed up for polling the ffret tally, and been declared the winner in six baronies nut of seven. " Did you ever hear such an intellectual mob?" said Pyre% KINNY. PRTER then in in his own humorous way, defended Mr. Sulu. for the part ke had acted—" Why should you scowld him," said he, " for taking Lord GICORGI'S money ? You might as well be angry with me for dtheatvinl his Lordship's blood, if it was a thing he was sick and called me in ; I assure you 1 would flaybotomise him with a great dale of plea sure." The mob, whose insolence knew no bounds so long as they thought their cause triumphant, lost all their spirit when they found that defeat was inevitable. Two or three more faithful than the rest, cried out in mourn ful urea*, "Razz" BaititoN still;" but the crowd showed itself no more. They have now returned to their wonted qnietnde, and Waterford is the same as it has always been in thugs of no peculiar excitement, the most peaceable and eivil town in his Majesty's province of Afunster. THE ASTONISHED FIDDLER.—At a har monious party lately given in Bute by Mr. B—H, the enterprising farmer, there was one of the sons of ()Larnaca, vulgarly yclept " a blind fiddler," who discoursed " most eloquent music," and exercised so powerful a ' , way over the dancing energies of all present, that to a mere looker on the people must hare appeared little short of crazed. Nobody seemed to he more affected with the hilarity of the moment, than our good host himself. Running up to the fiddler, and taking him in his arms in an extacy of delight —" My dear little fellow," exclaimed he, " how gloriously you play !

" Year I" re sponded the astonished act aper of catgut, with an arch grin, " faith, ye wud hae a bellyful o' it. Na, na, Sir, I play emly by the nicht!" —Scots Times. LORD ELLENBOROUGII'S DIVORCE BILL. HOUSE OF LORDS, ititsDAY. Thiq day a considerable number of their Lordships at tended to hear the evidence to be given on Lord Eilenbo rough's Divorce Bill. The Duke of Wellington sat close to the bar. Mr. ADAM appeared as 'Counsel for Lerd Ellenborough, and Mr. DAMPIER for her Ladyship. The first branch of the evidence related to the conduct of the Lady and Prince Schwartaenburgh, at Brighton ; and from the evidence of a waiter at an inn there, the con duct of the parties was such as to form a aufficient ground for the present proceeding: Lord tllenhorough's solicitor stated that the reason why proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Court, or in a Court of Law, had not been taken sooner, was, that he was not able till June last to procure sufficient evidence of the adul tery. The usual proceeding had then been commenced in the Consistorial Court, and a judgment got Against her Ladyship for a divorce a men scl et thoro. He had made the proper inquiries as to whether Prince Schwartzenburgh was id England since he had procured his evidence, but from all he could learn the Prince was not in England so as to enable Lord Ellenborough to bring an action at law against him. A servant who lived in the house, No. 11, Harley street, opposite to No. '73, where Prince Swartzenburgh resided, in 1828, very frequently saw a lady driving in a cabriolet to No. '73, sometimes alone, sometimes with Prince Swarteenburgh ; when she went alone, the Prince was generally looking out of the window, and opened the door for her himself, without either knocking or ringing ; sometimes the lady came on foot, and the Prince let her in himself in the same manner; the lady usually drove the cabri olet herself; but she had a servant boy, of the name of Car penter, with her, who sometimes drove; the cabriolet sometimes waited for the lady in Wimpole• street, Holies , street, Portman-square, and other adjoining places; the Prince occupied the first floor of No. 73, Harley-street, and when standing at the windows of No. !I, he often saw the lady and the Prince together in the front room ; he could not have seen them if the door of a back room had not been open, but there were no b!inds up on the middle window, and the parties could easily have seen him if they had looked that way; lie observed nothing improper be tween the Prince and the lady, except on one occasion, when he saw him lacing her stays. The Earl of RADNOR remarked that there was no evi dence here of the identity of the lady. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that there were two questions here—the conduct of the lady, and her identity ; and the Counsel would exercise a soand discretion in put ting questions as to both points. The witness did not at the time know who the lady was, nor did he know yet, except from what he had heard from the boy Carpenter, and others. He would know Carpen ter if he were to see him. Examined by Lord RADNOR—The lady on these occa sions wore a veil, but she did not in any other respect evince any desire of concealment. This took place parti cularly about Maw, June, and July, 1828. The lady usually came to No. 73, Harley-street, between two and ' five o'clock in the afternoon, and used to stay with the Prince from two hours to two hours and a half. When she came out the Prince came out with her, and went away with her, or followed after in two or three minutes. He went with Carpenter to a coachmaker's, where he identified the cabriolet. Carpenter was groom to Lady Ellenborough in 1828, and in that year frequently went with her in the cabriolet to Harley-street and its vicinity, and sometimes waited for her in Wimple-street, Hones-street, Portman square; and sometimes she got out and walked away, desiring him to go home. He described the cabriolet or phaeton in the same manner as the preceding witness. Anne Lewis—Lived with Prince Swartaenburgh as servant in 1828 and part of 1829 ; during the former period he lived at 73, Harley-street ; during the latter period in Bolles-street. In 1828, he was frequently visited by a lady; she did not knock or ring, but was generally let in by the Prince himself; sometimes she came alone, and sometimes with the Prince, who let her in with his own key ; she remembered her sometimes coming when the Prince was not at home, and then the witness let her in, and the lady on such occasions went up to the Prince's room, without any observation made either by the lady or the witness ; when the Prince was at home, and the lady came, they usually remained together for about two hours, and then generally went away together. When they went away, she was sometimes alone, and sometimes in company with a sister to the Prince. The same lady visited the Prince in Holles-street, to which he removed in March, 1829, but not so frequently as when he lived in Harley-street ; and they behaved in the same manner. The Prince and the lady on two occasions came into the house by a back door, and were let in by means of the Prince's key ; she dill not know who the lady was ; the reason why she thought that something im proper had taken place between the lady and the Prince, when they were together, was that onlooking into the bed room after they went away, she found it, although she had made it in the morning, quite rumpled as if ttvo persons had been in it, and she had to make it over again ; this was occasionally observed by her sister as well u herself. Robert Henthall examined—l am a waiter at the Nor. folk Hotel, Brighton, and was so on the 6th of February, 1829. Lord and Lady Ellenborough were in the habit of coming to the hotel, I remember her coming on the 6th of that month. His Lordship was not there. I recollect also a foreign gentleman coming in the course of the same evening. I saw his luggage, and took it up stairs into his apartment. It consisted of a carpet-bag and a cio tk. Time was a sort of coat of arms on the carpet-bag.—( A laugh.) I had never seen the gentleman before that occasion ; he occupied a sitting-room on the ground-floor. He had a bed-room in the western part of the house. The bottom of the staircase communicated with the ball or vestibule. Lady Ellenborough was not in the same side of the house. She had a sitting-room np stairs with a bed- room adjoining. The staircase from her apartments did not come into tie public hall. About ten o'clock the gentleman retired to his bed-room. I was sitting up that evening for a family who had gone out visiting. About twelve o'clock the gentleman came down the front staircase and went up into Lady Ellenborough's bed-room. I saw him come down. When he perceived me he went back again. I watched, keeping out of sight. He presently came down again. I was anxious to see what he was about, I saw him go up the staircase lead ing to Lady Etlenborough's rooms. Did you watch him into the room?-1 did. Did be shut the door after him ?—Yes. Did he lock it?—He did. Did you still watch s. How long did you remain at the door ?—A quarter ol an hour. Did you hear any conversation T—Yes, I heard two peo ple talking together. In what language ?—lt was foreign to me. Did you hear anything move ?—Yes; I heard the gen. tleman get into bed. Where did you go afterwards?—l remained a short time at the door ; and then I went below stairs. How long did you remain below stairs?—Nearly an hour. Did the gentleman return to his apartment from Lady Ellenborough's during that period ?—No, be did not. Did you again go up stairs ?—Yes, about an hour after wards, and 1 heat d them in bed. What did you hear ?—I heard them kissing. You say that the gentleman did not return to the ball again ?—No, he did not. John Prior was servant at tke George's Arms public house, St. Ann's-street, and had often seen the phaeton or cabriolet, mentioned by some of the preceding witnesses, about Wimpole-street and Holles-street, and some other places in the vicinity of Harley-street, and had seen a lady and the boy Carpenter in it; he saw the phaeton driven to No. 73, Harley-street, with the lady and the boy ; he knew that 73, Harley-streat, was the residence of Prince Swarmenburgh, as he had been in the habit of serving beer at the house : he knew also that the lady was Lady Ellenborough, as he had seen her at Prince Ester hazy's, when he was there with beer; she arrived at the time he was there, and the porter announced her as Mrs. Caroline Ellenborough, and the servant announced her to the porter as such ; she then came in a large carriage, and not in a phaeton or cabriolet ; he was sure that he heard her named Ellenborough. Crcsb-examined by Mr. DAMPIER, as to whether he was sure of the name of Caroline or of Ellenborough : He said that he was not quite so sure. William Wheel—Had driven Prince Swartsenburgh and a lady from 73, Harley-street, to Putney Common and Wimbledon, to the house of the Countess St. Antonio ; he did not know at first that the lady was Lady Ellen borough, but he did soon after ; the reason why he knew was, that the boy Carpenter, who was waiting with a ca briolet, asked him whether he drove Lady Ellenborough and the Prince from '73, Harley-street. Mr. Law prove I the hand-writing of Lady Ellenbo rough, which was put in, but not read. Mr. Rogers, front the Consistorial Court, produced office copies of the proceedings in that Court in the divorce case, at the instance of Lord Ellenburough. Mr. Maarten, Counsel against the Bill, observed that their Lordships bad h eard the evidence, and would draw their own conclusions Prom it. He had only to observe that in the branch of the evidence that related to the excursion to Brighton, although the identity of Lady Ellenhorough had been sufficiently proved, that of Prince Swartzenburgh had not. As to the other bi anches which related to the proceedings at Harley-street and ilolles-street, and the ex pedition to Putney-heath, ttc., be submitted that the identity of her Ladyship had not been sufficiently proved. With these observations he left the matter entirely in the hands of their Lordships. The Earl of ROSSLYN then observed the evidence ap peared to be abundantly sufficient to support the Bill, and moved that it be read a second time. ..,. The Bill was then read a second time, without a disten lent voice. METROPOLITAN POLITICAL UNION. The following is the petition agreed to at the Meeting on Monday; it is to be presented by Mr. O'Connell : g. TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, IN PAR. LI AMENT ASSEMBLED. " THE PETITION OF THE INHABITANTS Or THE Tgorous, ASSEMBLED IN PUBLIC MEETING AT THE BOWLING GREEN OF THE EAGLE TAVERN, IN TPIE CITY-ROAD, " Humbly Sheweth,—That your petitioners have long suffered under accumulated difficulties and intolerable dis tresses; their industry has become abortive, their skill and capital are without profit; their sufferings are daily in creasing, their resources are wasting, and they are without prospect of change or relief. " That, having long reflected upon the primary and im mediate cause of their tnisfortunes, your petitioners ascribe them entirely to the want of Radical Reform in your Hon. House, the Members of which, not being chosen by, or duly sympathiiing with, the people, have, for a series of years, compromised the nation's welfare by erroneous and pernicious measures, and by a policy which prefers per sonal and particular interests to the general welfare of the whole of the community. " That to the want, also, of Radical Reform of the Re pres, ntation, your petitioners ascribe the ruinous war with the American Colonies, which ended in their separation from, and entire independence of, this country. " That to the same fatal cause your petitioner! ascribe the late bloody, long-continued, and unjust wars against tl a liberties of France, which your petitioners believe were waged and carried on to prevent that reform at home for which the people had so long and so earnestly petitioned. " That to the same cause, also, your petitioners ascribe the enormona debt of eight hundred and fifty millions, and the oppressive and grinding taxes annually required to pay the interest of the same. To the same cause, also, your petitioners ascribe the upholding of the unparalleled and prodigal establishments, in time of peace, by taxes drawn from the people, who at the same time are suffering the severest, the most cruel, and moat degrading privations— privations abhorrent and inconsistent with the character of Englishmen, and disgraceful to the nation at large. " That to the same cause also—viz., the want of Radi cal Reform in the Commons House of Parliament—your petitioners ascribe the utter neglect and shameful disregard of their distresses, the professed inability to relieve them, and the total indifference with which the petitions of the people have been hitherto received, and the accumulation of fiscal Statutes diminishing their personal independence, and restraining, by innovations of every kind, the privi leges which have heretofore been the birthright of all En glishmen. " That your petitioners, therefore, pray th.t your Ho nourable House will restore, in purity of form and efficacy. . _ of practice, the rights and civil privileges assured to them by their ancestors in Magna Charts, in the Petition of Right, and in the Bill of Rights—the fundamental prin ciple of which all the Kings of England, from Edward I. down to George IV., have, by their Coronation oaths, bound themselves to maintain, and which guarantee our civil liberty, by providing that no man shall be taxed who is not represented in Parliament, and none shall be im prisoned or fined except by the verdict of his equals ; and which also guarantee property by protecting, even for debts to the Crown, a man's tools, and means of obtaining future subsistence. " That your petitioners further prey that your Honour able House will not continue to oppose such measures, as may be proposed for your own Radical Ikform ; and your petitioners make this prayer, not only for their own benefit and the advantages of their fellow-countrymen, but for the preservation of your HonouraMe House itself, which can only exist in power and honour through the voices, influence, affection, and confidence of the people."

' LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 10, 1830. The French Papers of Monday, and the Gazette de France of Tuesday's date, have been received. The latter Paper asserts that M. ROYER COLLARD is appointed President of the Chamber of Deputies. The following are extracts from these Papers: — The Augsburg Gazette of the 4th inst. gives the fol lowing intelligence from Constantinople, dated Feb. 6 : " The English Ambassador, Sir R. Gordon, has two con ferences with the Reis Effendi every week, and his Drago man is daily engaged with the Porte. The subject of these frequent communications is unknown, hnt thelactive inter change of couriers between Constantinople and London leads to the inference that important affairs are under dis cussion. Halil I'acha's mission to St. Petersburgh appears likely to prove favourable to Turkey in its results, for se veral private letters from that capital, state that the Empe ror will grant facilities to the Porte, and that the Turkish Ambassador's representations are received by the Court of Russia with the kind. st attention. Here every thing is quiet, although the people regret the Sultan's bias for innova-. tions, and blame it openly. The organization of the regu lar troops has caused less discontent than the projected erection of quarantine lazarettos, which will certainly be of great service to the capital. The accounts from the provinces are not satisfactory. The insurrection in Asia is not yet put down, and the commanders in Bulgaria still commit great excesses, notwithstanding the act of amnesty lately published. Many rich Bulgarians are about to emi grate to Russia. Great activity prevails in re-organizing the army. Several thousand recruits, levied at Constan tinople, have been embodied with the regular troops. Counts Orloff and Butenieff will sail for Odessa in a few days." The following is extracted from a letter, dated Tangiers, Feb. 16 :—" A treaty of peace has been concluded between Morocco and Austria, and sent to Vienna to be ratified, but the terms have been kept most carefelly concealed. It is believed that. the Austrian ship captured by the Moors is to he restored, but that no eomptnsation is to be re quired for the merchandise taken out of it. These ar rangements have been effected through the intervention of the Isralite Benolier, who has great influence at the Court of Fez, and who led Austria to look at the questions in dispute in their real point of view. The two sons of the Danish Consul at Tangiers were the immediate negotiators of the peace, upon their last journey to Fez." Private letters from St. Petersburgh, of the 15th of February, contain the following account of a splendid en tertainment given to the Emperor Nicholas and the Im perial Family by the Duke de Montemart, Ambassador of France :—" On the sth his Excellency gave a grand ball, which was honoured by the presence of the Emperor and Empress, the Grand Duke Michael, Prince Albert of Prussia, the Duke of Wurtemberg and his two sons, and 400 persons of the first distinction. The Grand Duchess Helena was prevented from attending by indisposition, but sent to express her regret. At all former similar en tertainments, none of the guests, except the' military officers, who, in Russia, never quit their regimentals, have been accustomed to appear in Court dresses ; but the Emperor, to give a further testimony of his esteem for his august ally, not only gave orders that all his suite should he in their full dresses, but that they should wear the ribands of their respective orders, his Majesty himself and the Grar.d Duke displaying the Cordon Bleu. The Empress deigned to open the ball by dancing a Polonaise with the Ambassador. She afterwards granted the same honour to the Ambassadors of England and Austri,i. Her Majesty sulisi-quently condescended to take the Baron de Bourgoing fur her partner in a French contredanse. At one o'clock,' the Boppr tables, sumptuously spread for two hundred persons, were displayed,— That destined for the Empress was distinct from the rest, and laid for sixteen persons, including Prince Albert, the Ambassadors and Atnba•sadresaes of England and Austria, the Ladies of Honour, and the Ladies of the chief Dignitaries of the Empire. A similar table was re served for the Emperor, but his Majesty declined taking his seat, preferring his usual custom of making a tour of the rooms, and addressing himself with gracious condes cension to the company. Towards the end of tke supper his Majesty went up to the Empress, and calling the Duke de Montemart, filled a glass of champagne, and drank, in the most delicate and flattering terms, to the health of the King of France, in which he was joined by the Empress and Prince Albert. After supper dancing was resumed. The Emperor, Empress, and Prince Albert retired at three o'clock. The next morning, the Ambassador being on horseback by the side of the Emperor, when viewing the entrance into the city of a Brigs.le of Infantry of the Guard, ha Majesty repeated the expressions of the satis faction he had felt in being the guest of him whom he had received in his tent beyond the Danube ; and on the borders of the Black Sea." The Emperor of Russia has just decreed the establish ment of magasi►.es in the cities of Warsaw and Welclo wick, where farmers and landholders may deposit corn and other agricultural produce, as a security for advances' made to them by the Bank of Poland, This bank is also authorised to issue notes of 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 florins, each of which are to be received as cash in all pay ments to Government. . . . Tl.e Bayonne Gazette contains the following intelli gence from Lisbon, under date of Feb. 20 :—" The Spa nish Ministry, anxious to take advantage of the rumour of a war between Brazil and Portugal, have offered Don Miguel a &ice of 12,000 men, to assemble at Badajoz and Olivensa ; but Mr. nickenzie, the British COnsul, on be ing consulted by the Viscount Santarem, declared that Great Britain would never permit a Spanish army to enter Portugal. Thus the hopes entertained by the Spanish Am bassador of bringing Portugal under the controul of Spain have been defeated. The Minister of Fi nance having compelled the Monks of St. Bernard to pay up their arrears of taxes, amounting to 300,000 francs, the good fathers exclaim loudly that Don Miguel is surrounded by uone but Atheists and Freemasons. Upwards of 180 priests have been deprived of their bene fices within the last six months; and of the 6,000 prisoners in the various dungeons of the kingdom on the let of January last, 200 were priests, monks, or canons. A new military levy is talked of, and all the unemployed troops, which, by-the-by, are n, ither numerous nor well disposed, are to be concentrated in the neighbourhood of Lisbon." It is asserted that M. Royer Collard is appointed Presi dent of the Chamber of Deputies.— Ga2ette de France.

For some days past the presents to the Emperor and Empress, brought by the Turkish Ambassadors, have been exhibited in the Spanish Gallery in the Hermitage. By an Imperial order of the day of the 15th instant, Col. Ponomarew is appointed Military Governor of Erivan. Very strange and exaggerated reports have lately been spread here, according to which a great number of persons have lost their lives by being poisoned with arsenic. The fact is, that of forty-four persons who were seized with illness, from having need flour in which, through negli gence or otherwise, arsenic was mixed, two only have died, -the others having been saved by the ♦igilance of the police, and are now recovered. The flour was perch:teed in a shop in the Moskwa quarter of the city, and the suf ferers did not know what was the cause of their illness till the police got information of the affair, and the most effec tual measures were immediately adopted. The affair is now wider investigation. FROM TII2 ♦ISTULA, TEL IQ. Several discharges and changes have lately been made in the Polish army, but chiefly among officers in the lower ranks, from the Captain downwards. Though the grounds fee these proceedings are not accurately known, it is con jectured that they have be-n induced by the invntigations which have ben long going on—which have not indeed led to the important results that were expected, but have yet brought to light various suspicious circumstances. COFINHAGIN, FEB. 27. The inhabitants of this city are still in great concern on account of the indisposition of the Princess Caroline ; for though, according to the bulletins, the burns are healing, her Royal Highness continues to suffer some pain : want of sleep also retards the progress of the cure. According to the reports received by the Board of Health, it appears that in IS2B the number of persons vaccinated in Denmark was 24,876. During the 27 years that have elapsed since the introduction of vaccination into Denmark, the number of persons that have undergone the operation has amounted to 670,887. A destructive fire at Frederickstait, in Norway, has reduced nearly the half of the town to ashes. HANOVER, MARCH 2. Onr fears of inundation have not been ill-founded. This morning the water is some feet deep in several of the streets, and it runs off so slowly that we cannot hope to be soon free from it. Several neighl,ouring villages are wholly under water, and the inhabitants have been obliged to take refuge .in the garrets. In many houses in the city the water is some feet deep, so that the damage must be con siderable. We hope that the water from the Hartz mountains will not yet come down, as that would greatly increase the evil. We receive from various quarters me lancholy accounts of the damage done by the inundations. HAMBURG, at/awn 4. The hopes we entertained a few days ago that the rapid thaw would soon open the navigation of the Elbe have been disappointed, as the frost has returned.

Angle Neapolitan Faltonets It will be perceived that the House of Com mons have again postponed the consideration of the state of the poor, as urged upon them by Mr. WILMOT HORTON, in a speech which most forcibly points out the necessity of doing something to check the growth of paupeism amongst us. It is really extraordinary that the landed interest should be so indiferent to the weight of a tax of seven or eight millions a year for the support of the poor, and that tax annually increasing; and that all interests should not view with alarm a state of society in which the paupers bear the proportion of one to s'x on the whole population. Mr. PORTMAN classes the population into two divisions; the one to the North of the Thames, where the majority of the people are poor, and the other to the South of it, where they are absolutely all paupers. The corroborating testimonies of other Members, and in fact of every observing person, leave no doubt of the deplorable condition in which the mass of the British people at present exist. The Report of the Emigration Committee presents an abundance of evidence in answer to the popular objections to a system of colonization ; and it would appear from the answers of the witnesses then examined, that Home Colonization would be a more expensive and less effective remedy than emigration. There is certainly a difference of opinion upon this point, and the poor Colonies of Holland have been frequently cited as worthy of our imitation, but if further information is wanted it ought to be obtained, and that one of the two plans be adopted which shall appear on furtlicr enquiry to be the most expedient. The country is, beyond ail doubt, over peopled in proportion to its means of subsistence ; and whether the de ficiency of those means arises from a vicious system of legislation, which has for years, and still in a great measure does check the progress of our industry, by preventing its taking the most productive and most natural courses, and by pro hibiting, of preventing the importation of corn on the principle falsely called protective—or from whatever other cause it springs,—a remedy must speedily be applied to the disease, ;or the frame of society will not be able to withstand itsravages. Mr.WILMOT HORTON referred to Switzerland as an instance of a coun try where emigration has become necessary, though it neither has corn laws, nor any of the other faults of legislation, which are especially charged with being productive of pauperism. It should be remembered, however, that the na tural poverty of the country is of itself an ob stacle to the progress of both agriculture and trade in Switzerland, and it is therefore, per haps, hardly fair to say that our laws are not faulty because a similar effect is produced in ano ther country by a different cause. Be this, however, as it may, we hope and trust Mr. WiLmor HORTON will persevere, and will bring in a Bill to the effect intimated by him. If Sir GEORGE MURRAY'S opinions are to be taken to express those of tile Government, co lonial emigration will meet with decided appro bation in that quarter. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWEL YE 0' CL OCZ Hobart Town Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but not of a later date than the last arrival. They stated, as a proof of the in creased value of land, that 800/. , or 21. per acre, have been offered for a paddock of 400 acres, at the Cross Marsh, by three or four different settlers, and equal prices for other spots of good lind without buildings. The arrival of two ships, one with male and the other with female prisoners, may he daily expected. We understand that the number of applications for male and female servants is unusually great. We trust that the Lieutenant-Governor will make known the great want of hands in the Col3ny to Sir George Murray, in order that eight ships with male, and four with female prisoners, at least, may be sent annually. The female factory in Sydney contains no less than 531 women and 46 children. We cannot avoid raising our voice against this mode of imprisoning so many women in colonies where the female sex are so scarce, and where their services are so valuable and in such request. The Sydney Gazette cries ont strongly against usury, and it prays for an Act to protect the entire of the pro perty of the Colony. LrvicarooL, MARCH S.—The demand for pine timber is by no means so great as might have been expected, and we may consider the market to be in a dull state. The trade, who are tolerably well supplied, appear to be anxious to sell. Former prices ceuld not be realised. Scarcely any thing has been done in indigo since the public sales. The imports of Irish grain have been lighter than previoney. The demand for wheat has been on a limited cc de. A Leeward mail has arrived by the Barracouta— sailed from Barbadoes the 25th of January, and from St Thomas's the 10th of February. Barbadoes Papers have been received by the above conveyance, but are void of interest. Letters have been received from Vera Cruz, bat of an old date. VIZ romps. There still appears to he a pause in the speculations in the Funds, and the Consol Market is in a dull state, with little or nothing doing. Consols, which left off yesterday at 92 to i t for the Account, opened at 92k, at which price they arc at present, and for Money 91i to 92. The near approach of the Budget, and the contents being as yet a profound secret, deters the speculators from operating. In the Foreign Market Greek Bonds have considerably fsllen, from 49 to 43, as Prince Leopold, it is supposed, will not acknowledge the old Greek debts. INGLISk Bank Stock, India Stock, S pm . Cent.

The private letters received by the Leeward Island Mail bring a complete confirmation of the separation of Ve nezuela from the Republic of Columbia; ail was traiquil, and subscriptiOns were going forward for the support of Venezuela. Acsounts from Gibraltar of the 18th February state thtt his Majesty's Government have sent to the Autho rities there for information on the cause of the rapid de cline of the commerce of that island. The English brig Rose had arrived there from Terceira. The island was well supplied, and the inhabitants were in great spirits ; they expected two thousand troops from the Brazils, under the orders of Colonel Shsoval. Accounts from Brunswick state, that 5,000 troops were going to march into the Duke of Brunswick's territory, and would remain in possession until he made an apology for his past conduct to the King of England. Since the early part of the morning Consols have be come heavy, and receded from 94 to 92, but at present may be quoted 92 to i, and for Money 91i ; this chief speeulstion during the morning has been in Greek Bonds, which have gone clown since yesterday about 6 per cent., caused by a certain paragraph in an Evening Paper, which does not gain credit by the well-informed. Two loans have been contracted by the Greeks, from which they have procured arms, and ammu- nition, with other articles, and by which means they have gained their liberty and independence from the Turks; therefore, it is not supposed, that they will be so ungraceful as not to pay so just a debt.

JAMBS The hill, io this ease, was instituted by the plaintiff ,fer the purpose of obtaining possession of the estates of the testator, the plaintiff's father, subject to certain weekly payments to the testator's daughters ; and also for the pur pose of having the charitable bequests declared void under the Statute of the 9th Geo. 11. The father of the pla•ntiff, by his will, ordered his real estates t) itr sold, out of which his debts were to be paid. A sum of 4s. a week was also to he paid to each of his two daughters, and the residue he left to the bnrgesses of NAtinghatn, for the purpose of defending all snits bronght against their public rights and privileges, for the remedy ing of public abuse', and also to go in aid and support of the poor in sew ral parishes in Nottingham.

On Minds) , evening a respectable Jury assembled at the Cheshire Cheese tavern, Strand, to inquire touching the death of Cordelia Sutton, a fine girl, seven years of age, daughter of Mr. Sutton, solicitor, of Surrey-street, Strand- Mr. William Jones, assistant to Mr. Cosgrove, surgeon, About ten days ago wa. , at the house of the deceased's father, when an alarm was made that the deceased hail fallen out of the window. She was afterwards brought into the, house, and witness immediately attended her. On exit- . mining her person he found a dreadful wound on her left' side : having fallen on the spikes of the railings, ' one of' them entered between the 10th and 11th ribs of the feit side about an inch deep. He rendered her every aaeistance , but she died on Saturday last. Elisabeth Groves was one of a party at the house of the deceased's father on the night of the accident. The deceased struck one of her sisters, on which Mrs. Sutton ordered her to go up stairs, and remain there until she Was called for. The deceased quitted the room, and went np stairs to an upper apartment. Shortly after an alarm was made that she had fallen from the top of the house. Robert Murray, waiter at the Cheshire Cheese tavern, on the day of thy accident heard screams, and' on proceed ing into the street he saw the deceased child sticking on the railings in front of her father's house. He instantly took her off, and the blood gushed from a wound on the left side. She begged of witness " not td let the new police take her." He took her into the house of her parents, where a medical gentleman attended to her. On intimat ing the accident to Mrs. Sutton she was exceedingly affected, and went into hysterics. Juror—Why did she request you not to let the nett police take her? Witness—l understood the child had quarrelled with her sister, and had been threatened by her mother that they should take her. The door of the room from which she fell was bolted by the deceased. Mr. James Barry, one of tie Jury, on Friday afternoon week heard an alarm of the accident, and went to Mr. Sutton's house. He went up stairs with Mr. Sutton and another individual, and found the door of the room to which the &ceased had been sent by her mother fastened at the inside. Witness's son got through at the window near the parapet, and he found the door carefully bolted and fastened. The Jury consulted for some time, daring which come of them differed in opinion am to their verdict, when they recorded that of " Accidental death by falling from di* parapet of a house." MELTON MOWBRAY, MARCH B.—A great sensation has been produced here by the committal of s robbery of as flagrant and audacious a character as any on record. On Wednesday last Lord and Lady SOUTHAMP . TON gave a grand dinner to the principal Nobility and Gentry of the Melton Hunt, at their residence, Quorndon Hall, near Loughborough. Lady Souzaraurroo visited her dressing-ropm at the hoar of nine, at which period every thing remained in its usual order. About one o'clock her Ladyship's waiting-maid, having occasion to enter, found the door fastened on the inside..' Surprised at so unusual an occurrence, she bastemed to her Ladyship in the drawing-room, and communi -. gated the circumstance. After several attempts had been made to induce any person who might be secretod within to come forward, the door of the apartment WO with some difficulty forced open, when it was discovered that some daring villain, entering from the window, and securing the door to prevent interruption, had carried off the whole of Lady Scrrnaltrirox's bijoutry, including the family diamonds and other precious stones, to the amount of several thousand pounds. An alarm was itr stantly given—messengers were despatched in all direction. to apprize the Magistrates of the robbery, and .a reward of 500/. offered for the apprehension of its perpetrator& Hitherto nothing has transpired to lead to their detection. MANCHESTER.—During the whole of Wed" nesday last the neighbourhood of New Town and Colly' hurst was kept is a state of extreme confusion and &tarns by the attempts of the populace to prevent certain bailiff• from levying on the goods of a man named BAxxs for chief rent; and, in the evening of the same day, a delis% outrage was committed on his premises. At the late Rutland Assizes, held at Oakhaul on Friday last, a case of libel was brought on, in which Mr. Jolla Nzwcosta, Proprietor and Editor of the .ii' coin Mercury, was plaintiff, and Mr. DEA/LARD, Proprie tor and Editor of the Stamford News, wai defendant' The libel was contained in the defendant's newspaper' After hearing evidence at length, the Jury returned 11 verdict for the plaintiff—Damages One Farthing. An inquest was held yesterday afternoon at the Star and Crown public-house, Broadway, Westsnio' ster, before Mr. GaLL, on the body of AMELIA MID' GARET DAWSON, a girl of loose character, who died 0 0 Sunday morning at a house of ill-fame in the Alinenry/ having, it is supposed, destroyed herself by taking a qua, tity of laudanum. It appeared that she had spent tbt night with a soldier, who left her early in the mornis%' after which, it is supposed, she took the poison. IV / soldier was not present at the inquest, and, as several' ; the Jury refused to give any verdict in his absence, was adjourned till this day, to give the constable time t ° summons him.
