( V 4010,-%, • --- At * 41-4 The following are extracts from the Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday : (From the Gazette de _France.) LIES OF THE DAY. Le Globe._lt appears that the dissolution, which is the natural consequence of a long prorogation, is not yet decided upon. The orators of the right aide declare openly against a new election. M. de Villele does not ad vise it in the present state of things, and asserts that an arrangement must be made at any price with the majority. The journal du Havre say—" We know positively that great quantities of oats are shipping at Liverpool for Marseilles, for the African expedition. But will not M. de Polignac accuse his friends of ingratitude when he shall hear that his English contractors supply the Dey of Algiers with ammunition, stores, and provisions ? Yet this is a fact proved by private letters received this morning from London." Letters from Toulon, of the Slat ult„ announce the arrival of the King's brig Le Cygne from her station off Algiers. She reports that great preparations are making for the defence of their coast by the Algerines. A levy of several thousands of Arabs has been made, and the troop s are daily exercised in platoon firing. The whole of their movements are seen from the ships, which, to pre serve the blockade as strictly as possible, never lose sigit of the land. The following is extracted from the Aeiso dc Toulon : —"lf we may give credit to certain well-informed per sons, the expedition, entitled the African, and not merely the Algerine, has for its object to obtain for France the Possession of Tunis and Tripoli, as well as Algiers. If this be true, the disembarkation will be effected simul taneously at various points of the territories of these regencies, and, among others, Bona and Bougie have been named. Some are of opinion that it is the in tention of France to cede the whole to the Pacha of Egypt, who would thus beconie one of the Great Powers, anti be able, by joining with Turkey, to oppose effectually the aggrandizement of Russia. Others, on the contrary, conceive that France seeks to establish herself en the coast of Africa, in order to be able, in case of need, to prevent the emancipation of Egypt, of which the Emperor Nicholas would take advantage to destroy the balance of power iu Europe, and thus be enabled to execute his plans of invasion with greater facility. There are a few who imagine that the operations of the expedition will be limited to the capture of Algiers. It is by such conjectures, none of which may be well founded, that every body endeavours to account for the immense preparations both in ships and troops, in stores, provisions, and ammunition, now making for a warlike expedition." Letters from Corfu, of the 26th of February, state that the ad v i ces from Greece announce the arrival at Syra of several vessels from Odessa, laden with corn. The winds in the Archipelago- have been extremely violent, and caused the loss of about 150 ships: Commerce has become much more active: the price of oils has got up, but that of grain is lower. The Parliamentary Session of the lonian Islands was to open on the Ist of March. We extract the following front a private letter of the Ist inst. front Frankfort :—" Rumours of events likely to disturb the union of the Germanic Diet have become pre valent. It has for a long time been stated that, in case of the death of the Grand Duke of Baden, Bavaria would have recourse to measures to recover possession of the territories • for which Austria had vainly engaged, at the Congress of Vienna, to obtain fur her an indemnity. The death of the Grand Duke has now taken place, and we tremble lest we should see the peace of Germany interrupted by the armed occupation of these territories. The new Grand Duke is already prepared to repel force by force, and a courier has been despatched to St. Petersburgit to solicit the aid o f Russia. 'lite garris o n o f INlanheitn has been reinforced, and travellers already notice the passing of transports of artillery and stores. The death of the Grand Duke was kept secret for two days." The 111 - oniteur of this day publishes a Royal Onion nature, divided into eight titles and thirty-two articles, on the organization of a corps of naval engineers. This Or dominance is countersigned by the Minister of Marine, B an ar Lo on rd i l'Haussez, and by his Royal Highness the Dauphin, High Admiral of France. • The Funds were generally heavy on 'Change yesterday, and some descriptions of Stock fell considerably. HAVRE, Arum 4.—The Nanine has brought us this day letters from Port-au-Prince. They state that the Go - v "nment aid whole population of Haiti are determined to resist the attacks of Spain, if, notwithstanding the luckless issue of her expeditions against Mexico and her other colo nies, she should attempt to recover by force of arms her former possessions in Haiti. urg e eby Lsanne, Are's.. I.—The pretensions formerly d Bavaria to the Palatinate, and which are far from having been relinquished, have produced great uneasi ness here. G overnment h as j ust ta k en all the measures Z s e : ssa rY to protect the Grand Duchy against any attack. "n as the Duke was deceased the most positive orders „„ e , s ent to all the garrison towns, requiring th em t o b e fidelity to an immedi a t e s t a t e o f defence. The oath of to the new Duke has been taken by every regiment. In order to destroy all communication with I3avaria, the bridg e of boats has been destroyed, which joined it to Manheim ; and, to complete these precautionary measures, all the troops of reserve have assembled, together with the contingents of claPses which had not been called out, the landwehr will also be employed, and the army will thus be increased to nearly 25,000 men, who will remain in the Palatinate until the dispute respecting the right of nieces ,sseittninealm. b etween Baden and Bavaria sh a ll hav e b een fi na ll y The new G ran d D u k e h as already taken measures to repel force by force. A courier has been despatched to Russia for assistance, and the garrison of Manheim has been provided with a reinforcement of artillery. On the 2d inst. a report was prevalent at Lyons of the 4-ISseir De y of Algiers having been assassinated in an insurrection. The f o ll ow i ng is an extract of a letter dated Munich, March si The Minister for Foreign Affairs received a sis this sa t r , evening, by exp ress , th e news o f th e d ea th o f t h e ?-• `-ails: Grand Duke of Baden. It is reported that immediately after this event the gates of the city were shut, and no one itsijk2 buffered to depart, consequently this intelligence did not 000 tome direct from our Envoy at the Court of Baden, but from our Minister at Stutgard. The late Grand Duke ,Sasa - a. Louis was the last legitimate descendant of the reigning family of Baden ; and B a v a ri a having hereditary claims on om s part s o f t h e Duchy, wh i ch nevert h e l ess h ave b een ! trisi glY contested by the present line of Grand Dukes, the issue of a left-handed marriage, we have become extremely anxi ous as to the measures to be adopted by Bavaria to assert her rights. Unfortunately the King is in Italy, and i . may not be able to seize the favourable moment. It has, fir , however r bent s a id th at hi s M a j esty , b e f ore hi s d eparture , i nt. special i nstructions with his Minister for Foreign Dsata u iris f or h is guidance in case of the death of the Grand ar k . This is an occasion on which Bavaria ought to un the a direct and energetic policy ; but when we reflect ilttiai,tlio,nneiyestetia usually pursued by the Germans iu such af eitle, bee,cann o t help anticipating a long series of nego- Ta e in g without any positive results. A war is trot poe t: the tte c e e i n t f i: de it r i a te ti r o d n ic ., t , ed by the Constitutional Des seta of prodigaii;s—wlitlT mornin g • be ie from the Journal des Debate of this foe the African want of reflection, the carelessness and want the expenses for time preparations Expedition have been made, must give pain to every thinking mind. Fire-engines are building at immense cost, to tie sent to Aftiei, while there arc already in the Government magazines a great number of these machines, constructed at the time of the projected descent upon England, which surely might be used in stead of being left to rot. This war cannot cost less than 100,060,000 francs. May we not ask whether this sum might not be employed in a manner more bene ficial to our commerce, more advantageous to the pros perity and power, and, we may even add, the dignity of the nation at large ? For instance, would it not be better to devote one half to the repair and improvement of the public roads, and the other to the re-establishment of our fortresses ? To obtain possession of Algiers is certainly worth something ; hut again we ask, would it not be more profitable to render our fortresses impregnable?" The Messager de Marseille containsithe following : " The King's Attorney-General has prepared a list of all the Ministerial Officers, specifying their names, Christian names, the places of their birth, their age, whether they are bachelors, married men, or widowers, and the number of their children, with a column for remarks. We re membered that similar lists were drawn out both in 1824 and in 1827." Instructions are said to have just been sent by the Pre fect of the Department to all the Mayors of Paris, relative to the revision of the Electoral Lists. The Journal du Commerce de Lyons announces, that "workmen are employed in that city in constructing a number of portable towers, destinel for the Algerine ex pedition. They are formed of strong oak, planks three inches thick, about twenty or five and twenty feet square, and from twelve to fifteen feet high ; they are divided into two stories, each of which will hold from fifty to sixty men. They are embattled on each side, so that those within may fire in every direction, and at the same time be sheltered from musketry from without. They are of course capable of being set up and taken to pieces at pleasure, and easy of transport, each plank being num bered. Some imagine them to be destined to protect our infantry against the African Cossacks—some that they are to shelter the men against the wild beasts with which the African shores abound—and others, that they are in tended to form, promptly, a fortified place in the deserts of this barbarous district."

We understand that Sir Howard is sent by the British Government, i❑ order to give to his Majesty our King the necessary information respecting the boundaries between the United States and the English possessions in North America, for the decision of which question his Majesty has been chosen arbitrator by both parties. ST. PETERSBURGH, MARCH 20.—His Majesty, as well as Prince Albert of Prussia, has left the military colonies, near Novogorod, and are gone to Moscow. COPENHAGEN, ncrt 27.—Numerous fetes have been given in different parts on account of the recovery of her Royal Highness the Princess Caroline. Accounts from Bergen say, that the spring herring fishery has been attended with many difficulties, and it seems that the result has not given satisfaction, though the report states that 6,000 barrels of herrings had been pickled. The Negroes in the Danish West India Islands have been pleased by the measures ordered by his Majesty, which have been gradually carried into effect pretty nearly on an equal footing with the Europeans, and their eman cipation may be considered as effected. Marriages between people of colour and Europeans are permitted; many of the former follow mechanical professions, and trade with the same rights as Europeans, and the chief artisans are people of colour, many of them are employed in mer chants' counting-houses, and many are in public offices. All the officers of the corps of firemen are people of colour, except the chiefs. The sexton of the Danish church at St. Croix is a negro ; and one of the richest merchants in St. Thomas, M. de Castro, though a black, is Aid-de camp to the Governor ; nay, the black proprietors of some of the sugar plantations have Europeans in their service as managers. Endeavours are made in silence to abolish the ri g ht of ownership to negroes who are still in slavery. If at the sale of the property of a person deceased, a negro bids for his freedom, it is considered as disgraceful, at St. Croix, to bid against him ; and many have in this manner obtained their liberty for a trifling consideration. —Hum. burg Papers, April 2. HAMBULCI, ArRIL 2.—Boitstbr HALLE, HALF -PAST Fotri o'cLocK.--The arrivals of Corn have, this week, been again very considerable, particularly of Wheat, but among them were many parcels for the sale of which con tracts had been made during the winter. Wheat was in demand in consequence of the accounts from England, and the better qualities brought higher prices. A particularly fine parcel was even sold as high as 130. Middling quality is of heavier sale, our own consumers showing but little inclination to buy. Rye has been rather heavy. Several lots, for which the owners could nut get such good prices as they wished, have been announced fur public sale. Barley has been received from the Upper Elbe, and readily taken by our brewers.

His Majesty's letter to the Russian Field Marshal Count Diebitsch Sabalkansky, in sending hint the insignia of the order of the Black Eagle, must excite general interest, be cause it may be looked upon as the truest and most suitable expression of the sentiments which animate our generous Monarch ; as a relative and ally he takes a great interest in the victories of the Russians, but the restoration of peace, as the wished for object of these brave efforts, is placed above all victories. The policy of Prussia in this respect must be advantageous to all other countries, as well as to itself; this is gratefully acknowledged to the fullers extent by all the King's subjects, and every one eulogiset the paternal Government, under whose protection the na tion, after glorious deeds of arms, enjoys the blessings of peace, and is assured of its continuance. The new and advantageous operations in our finance, are highly approved by the public ; every body acknow ledges that those who direct that branch of the adminis tration arc possessed of uncommon judgment and prac tical ability. The labours of the Commission for the revisal of the Laws, proceed regularly, notwithstanding the variety of matter which they embrace. Count Von Dunckeelmans the 'Minister of Justice, has just presented a very import ant division of the whole, which is now to be examined by the Council of State. BRUNSWICK, MAR',II 25. A projected marriage of our Sovereign with the second daughter of the Duke 9f Orleans, is spoken of as the cans,. of his long stay - in Paris. However, his Highness, it supposed, will soon return to Brunswick after passing a short time at Carlsruhe, where he is expected. Without doubt the various antique works of art will return with him, which he took away at his departure, in order to deposit them in a place of security in case of a possible event which there was reason to apprehend at the time, but not for the purpose of selling them at Paris, as the French Journals affirmed. On this occasion, we may observe, that a love of profusion is by no means a feature in the character of our young Prince, and that he rather is disposed to frugality, which has already drawn upon him many certainly unmerited censures from those whose interest lies the other way. YIENNA, MARCH 25. The contributi ons i n money g i ve n by the Imperi a l Family and the inhabitants of this city, for the sufferers by the inundation, amount to nearly 250,000 florins. Thi s , however, is only the amount announced up to this day by the Vienna Gazette, as having been delivered to the. Committee appointed by the Emperor, and therefore does not include the large contributions that have been given privately. MUNICH, MARCH 29, We have the most satisfactory accounts of the journey of the King from Bologna of the 18th, and from Florence of 20th March, at which last city his Majesty stopped only one day, and then proceeded on his journey to Rome and Naples. lie intends to be at Munich in the first fortnight of June. An appeal has just been published by the British and Foreign School SoCiety in behalf of Education in Greece ; and the great importanc e of promoting education in 'that country has been already testified by the receipt of many subscrip tions, among which are to be found, rather sin gularly, though most laudably associated, the names of persons of the most opposite religious and political views, as the Lord Bishop of LONDON, Mr. HOBHOUSE, M.P., and the Proprietors of the Westminster Review, of which l4i r. JEREMY BENTHAM is understood to be the principal. The Legislative Assembly have already decreed the establishment of a central school, on the Lancasterian plan, at Argos, to which each province of the Confede racy are to send two pupils as a commencement ; and by the efforts of Count CAPO D'lsTmA, of the above mentioned Society, and of the • English and American Missionaries, great pro gress in the formation of schools throughout Greece has already been made. They are esta blished at Athens, Argos, Salamina, Syra, Zea, A ndros, Tino, Mycono, Samos, Kalumno, Naxos, Paros, Anasi, Santorino, Gambusa, Serpho, Thermia, Egina, and at Astros' Tripolitza, Brestenna, Hydra, and many other places i❑ the Morea. Dr. KORCK, of the Church Missionary Society, has lately sent home a very full and interesting tteport on this sub ject, in which he speaks of some of the schools as equal to those of England, particularly that at Syra, which contains 300 children. Female education has also begun to receive attention both in Greece and the lonian Islands, and the benevolent exertions of Colonel MACPHAIL, Mrs. KENNEDY, and Mrs. DICKSON, have been attended with much success. The example of the Ladies of Edinburgh, who have formed themselves into a Committee for the Promotion of Female Instruction, and have lately despatched thither a Miss ROBERTSON as their representa tive, is well worthy of imitation by the Ladie s in other parts of Britain. It is to be hoped that the endeavours of the Society will receive still further encouragement, and that they may be enabled to spread popular schools through the whole of the new State, and to form two or three colleges or high schools. Whilst the country was in the midst of war and disorder, nothing of this kind could be done ; but the fit time is now arrived ; and if ever philanthropy was exercised in a good cause, it will be so in one upon which the prosperity and happiness of the new kingdom so mainly depend. In every point of view, Greece presents claims to interest our sympathies ; and it would be highly honour able to Great Britain, if her endeavours to ad vance the civilization of the people whom she has contributed to liberate, should be the means of extending her moral influence ill the country over which the son-in-law of her KING is des tined to reign. An Evening Paper of Wednesday took upon itself to assert as a fact, that the Jews are in different to the acquisition of the rights and pri vileges claimed for them by their Bill ; and that, with the exception of the undisputed title to the lands they now hold or may hereafter acquire, they arc perfectly satisfied to remain in their pre sent position. This is a sinister statement, and obviously in troduced for a sinister purpose. The writer is either wholly ignorant of the feelings and wishes of the Jews, or purposely misstates them ; nay, we may even say that if he means to be thought sincere, he is ignorant of the springs of human feelings and human actions. Who amongst us likes to be placed under any prohibition whatever ?—who would not consider himself in a state of imprisonment in England, if a law were passed prohibiting him from quit ting England, particularly if that prohibition were accompanied by any thing like disgrace ? It is quite true that the vast majority of Jews cannot, from their rank and circumstances in life, aspire to sitting in Parliament. It is equally true, that to the more wealthy and emi nent of that body municipal privileges and the power of carrying on retail trades are unim portant, but does it thence follow that the wealthy Jew would be indifferent to the poorer members of his community being put in fair competition with individuals of the same grade ; or will the poor Jew not be solic;tous to see himself represented in Parliament by some one who is more familiarly acquainted with his wants and wishes than those who are members of a different religion ? This is argument, but what is the fact ?—we say from the best authority, that the Jews, col lectively and individually, are most anxious to be put upon an equal footing with other dis senters from the establishment. If evidence be required of this turn, to their petitions, not from the metropolis only, but likewise from the cowl try if the fact be still disputed, let this be done, not upon anonymous assertion, but by produc ing the petition or remonstrance of a single pro testing Jew. FUNDS.—(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWELVE O'cLocK. This bring Good Friday, it is kept a strict holiday. Accounts from Sweden to the 20th March state that the King has closed the Sessions. His Majesty, in his s p eech, g ives much praise to his Ministers. The debt has been reduced from 53 millions to 44 millions. The exte rior relations are on the most amicable footing. Accounts from Constantinople state that the Turkish fleet consists at present of nine sail of the line, of which two are 3-deckers, one of 140 guns, and the others 130 guns, eight frigates, and twenty large corvettes. Accounts from Paris state, that M. Villele leaves the above capital on Monday for Normandy. The Algerines are making great preparations for their defence against the French expedition. The roads from the sea coast, leading to the fortress, are ►ined with batteries. SPORTING.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY). CROXTON PARK RACES.

The betting was almost confined to the Oaks and Rid dlesworth, for which the Duke of Grafton's mare, Brans billa, was backed freely, and to large sums ; all speak of her as being a clipper, and likely, in s pit e o f carry i ng a ll t h e weight, to have a good chance for the stakes on Monday next; Mahmond was also in force for the Riddlesworth, the odds being taken with spirit—he is in admirable racing condition, and is said by good judges to be one of the best goers at Newmarket. Lord Sefton's lot are quite out of favour for the Derby. Cetus daily risz sin estimation.

PARTS, APRIL 6.—The Margrave LEO POLD of Baden, upon whose head the crown has devolved by the death of his brother, is 39 years of age. He is an enlightened Prince, of benevolent disposition, and a friend of constitutional liberty. He was married two years since to the Princes, Sornla WILTIKLMINA, daughter of Gus- TAvus IV., Ex-King of Sweden, who, having been edu cated in the school of adversity, combines with all the graces of her scx a loftiness of sentiment rarely to be met with. THE REV. PETER FENN.—We observe it stated in the New South Wales Papers, that the John had brought out to Sydney, amongst her prisoners, the above -named worthy, as also a land-surveyor and seven clerks, who were immediately packed off for Wellington Valley, now vulgarly styled the " Valley of Swells," a distance of 150 miles in the interior, there to learn the use of the pick, the hoe, and the spade. The Rev. Gen tleman, it appears, was much disappointed at the arrange ment, as he had been promised by a high church func tionary, a snug berth in the Corporation School Establish ment. The other gentlemen seemed quite resigned to their fate. Amon.. the prisoners by the America, w hi c h l a t e l y arrived in New b South Waler, were eight Greeks under sentence of transportation to the colony for their natural lives, for pimp COURT CIRCULAR. At the Privy Council held by his MAJESTY on Wednes day afternoon, at his Palace at Windsctr, the Duke of Grammy was introduced, sworn in aa.

A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the owners and occupiers of land in the county of Huntingdon, was held on Tuesday, at Huntingdon, pursuant to requisition, to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning the Legislature for the repeal of the duties on malt. The Crown Court, in the Hall, was appropriated to the occasion, and a little before twelve o'clock the High Sheriff for the county, J. G. Scott, Esq., took the chair. Among the company present we observed Lord Milton, M.P.; Sir James Duberley ; J. B. Rooper, Esq.; John Hammond ; Esq.; Captain Duberley, and a large proportion of the most respectable farmers of the county. The HIGH SHERIFF commenced the businest of the day by reading the requisition under which he had convened the meeting, and requesting that every gentleman who intended to speak would con fine himself to the business upon which they had met, and be allowed a patient hearing. Letters were read from Lord Mandeville and W. H. Fel lowes, Esq., the Members for the county, apolo gizing for their absence from the meeting. J. B. Root'Cß, Esq., after a few observations, moved that the following petition to both Houses of Parliament be adopted : That very general distress pervades the country, the prevalence of which renders still more oppressive that burden of taxation which is so inkrious to the industry of your petitioners and the rest of 40. fellow-subjects. Your petitioners have been gratified by the reductions which have been already made in the public expenditure, and they duly appreciate the desire which your Honourable House has manifested for the alleviation of the national distress by repealing taxes to a considerable amount. Your petitioners, however, extremely regret that, in se lecting taxes to be repealed, your Honourable House has not selected the duty upon malt in preference to that on beer. Your petitioners, who are either owners or occupiers of land, are satisfied that the agricultural 'interests of the country would have been much more effectually promoted by repealing a duty which may be said to be levied upon the raw produce of the soil, than by the remission of one imposed upon a consumable article, and they are satisfied that it would have afforded equal, if not more extensive, relief to the community at large. Your petitioners, however, cannot admit the impracti cability of repealing both these duties, if your Honourable House makes such reductions in the establishments of the country as the necessities of the times imperiously demand. These establishments, in the ppinion of your petitioners, are greatly beyond what is necessary for the administration of justice and the protection of the Empire and its depen dencies against foreign aggression, the only objects for which Government is instituted. Your petitioners seek not for relief in the enactment of laws injurious to any class of the community, hut solely in the diminution of taxes, which press alike on all classes. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that the duties upon malt, by which they are particularly aggrieved, may be forthwith and entirely repealed. And your petitioners, &c. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving that the above petition be adopted. TEBRUTT, Esq. seconded the motion. Mr. M. WELLS moved that two resolutions be taxed to the petition read—one declaring the ne cessity of a repeal of the beer, malt, and hop duties, and the assessed taxes, and the second for the sub stitution of a modified property tax. The Rev. F. H. MABERLY said he did not see the necessity of any new tax, but, if one was neces sary, it should be an equitable assessment upon real property. Reduction of taxation, as now contem plated, he thought was no relief to the agriculturist. If the revenue was (as he understood it to be) 55,000,000/., and Government would only take off 5,000,0001.—if all the relief went to the agriculturist —it would not amount to [J. each. He should like to see 50,000/. taken off—(lmmense laughter and cheering)—not that he thought it could be £O. So, with reductions of rental, what was 15 or 20 per cent.?—they ought to have off SO or 90. (Laughter.)—He was a great friend to the human race, and always glad to hear of individual and collective prosperity ; and therefore he thought the repeal of the beer duties most unjust towards the brewers and publicans, many of whom had staked large sums of money on the faith of the laws re maining as they found them.—(Disapprobation.)— The country must be irretrievably ruined unless they entirely shut out foreign corn and encouraged the home grower.—(Laughter.)—What was the effect of the present system ? All the poor were thieves and vagabonds.—(Roars of laughter, and cries of " No, no.") The Rev. Gentleman con tinued in the same strain for some time, affording much amusement to the meeting. Lord MILTON next rose. He said, before he would say a syllable on the subject of the meeting, he would express his gratitude to the Rev. Gentle man for the benevolence he had displayed; and having done so, he must be permitted to express a doubt whether benevolence, unless guided by pru dence and wisdom, was a safe guide for them to adopt.—(Cheers.)—He thought the declaration of the Rev. Gentleman, that he disapproved of the repeal of the Baer Duty, because it might inci dentally affect the interests of certain brewers, was a sure proof of the justice of his proposition. The:Rev. Mr. MABERLY—It is quite a mistake ; I never said any such thing. Well (continued Lord MILTON), we will not stop to inquire into that ; our object to-day is not to talk about the Beer Tax, but to consider of the pro priety of petitioning fur relief from the Malt Tax.— (Cheers.)—At any rate, the great panacea of the Rev. Gentleman, which was to relieve the landed interest, which, be it remembered, included land lord as well as tenant, was to be found in the shutting out of foreign corn, and the high prices consequent upon such an enactment. These high prices, he maintained, would he of no service to the tenant farmer, however much they might benefit • the landlord ; and if proof, beyond assertion, were necessary of this truth, he aright point out some fa miliar instances which had occurred even in this county. The rents must and %%ould be regulated by the prices of coin, and the gross produce of a farm, after deducting the expences of cultivation. If all the expences ofcultivation, with taxation, and the fair interest of capital employed, amounted to 4001. per annum, and the gross produce of the farm amounted to 600/., the difference between these two sums must ultimately form the rate of rental. Low prices threfore, were not injurious to the interests of the him to proportionate his rent ie t d he ti o la r t igi t t h at e l pLeotli.dtioin ,iNts:ttserclaarrirtiesdiut:triati(-1 tenants, while high prices were advantageous to the amendment having been withdrawn. the eir i mi a teY etition to the i.ords, and the Members landlord, as enabling accordingly. Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, f lai o :lrii r nedi t n e :::' county tat to the Commons. PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. COMMITTEE FOR COIN. QUERIES GIVEN IN WRITING TO THE GOVERNOR AND DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND. 1. Whether, in the opinion of the Bank, it be de sirable that there should be established and main tained in this country, at the same time that we maintain the existing silver currency, a silver cur rency as a legal tender, the value of which should bear to gold nearly that proportion which is esta blished in France,—say about 151 to 1 ? Whether, if such an arrangement be desirable, it would be preferably effected by issuing silver coin of the same denomination, but of a different Braude' d from the present, or by confining it to silver coin of a new denomination ? Whether the existence of such a silver currency would have the effect of forcing gold out of circula tion, either occasionally or permanently ? In what manner does the Bank of England think that the existence of such a silver currency would operate on their transactions ? - Would it afford them security against combina tions which might be made to their prejudice ? Would it afford them means of more readily recti fying the foreign exchanges ? Would it enable them to provide with less diffi culty for periods of panic or distress; and would it in any degree facilitate their procuring, when neces sary, supplies of gold from abroad ? 2. Whether the Bank of England has any ob jection to making advances on deposits of silver at a very low rate of interest, in the same manner as is now done by the Bank of France on deposits of gold ? Whether such a measure would in their view be advantageous, as affording convenience or security to the Bank or to the public ? Whether their opinion of such an arrangement would be altered, if on such deposits of silver, notes or receipts were to be issued by the Bank, not payable in gold, but payable in portions of the silver deposited ? 3. Whether the Baak consider any and what ad vantages likely to result from reverting to the systc:u formerly established by law,—that of making silver by weight a legal tender to any amount, the value of such silver being either fixed in relation to gold, or such value depending on the market price, as published in the Gazette in the week or month pre ceding the tender? In replying to the three preceding queries, the Bank will bear in mind that the object is to retain gold as the bulk of the currency, and to have silver as an aid to it. 4. Whether there be in the country, at the pre sent moment, a sufficiency of coin for the purposes of the ordinary transactions which, in a country . where paper forms so large a pertion of the circula tion, coin . is necessarily applicable, and to provide for the deficiency which may be occasioned by the withdrawal from circulation of the small notes of the country bankers ? ANSWERS TO THE FOREGOING QUERIES. I. Provided there be sufficient silver currency in the country for the small payments, there does not appear to the Bank to be any advantage in the pro posed addition of silver, as a general legal tender, from the great difficulty of retaining gold as the bulk of the currency under such an arrangement. If such an arrangement were adopted, it appears to the Bank that it would be preferable to confine all the silver coin to one denomination, and not to issue silver coin of the same denomination at the present, of a different standard. Whenever the state of the foreign exchanges might give gold a higher value, or when it might bear higher agio, in foreign countries than in this, so far out of its relative value to silver as 151 to 1, thereby affording a profit to the exporter, the gold would leave this country for those p ar t s of Europe where it might be more valuable. For the reason given in answer to the first query, the Bank arc of opinion, that the proposed general legal tender of silver would not materially operate upon their transactions. It does not appear that it would afford to the Bank any security against combinations made to their prejudice, nor would enable the Bank more readily to rectify the foreign exchanges, nor to pro vide with less difficulty for periods of panic; neither does it appear to the Bank that it would facilitate their procuring, when necessary, supplies of gold from abroad. 2. There does not appear to be any material objec tion to the Bank making advances on deposits of silver for limited periods, at a low rate of interest, which might afford convenience to the public, when the state of foreign exchanges materially. operated upon the demand and price 'of silver in the market. The Bank are of opinion, that notes or receipts pay able in silver only would not be negotiable, as the same could not be received for deposits made with the Bank. 3. The Bank can see no advantage in reverting to the former system of making silver by weight a legal tender to any amount; and they are further of opinion, that a varying scale of value in any metal intended to be used ass legal tender cannotbe other wise than prejudicial in its effect upon all contracts. The payment by weight was formerly almost, if not entirely, nugatory. In replying to the three first questions, the Bank have borne in niind,that the object is to retain gold as the bulk of the currency. 4. In answer to the fourth query, the Bank can only advert to the quantity of coin in their posses sion, and that issued by them dace the Ist of Jan. 1821, which, together with the silver issued from the Mint since 1816, induces the Bank to believe that there is a sufficiency of coin for the ordinary transactions of the country, and also to provide for the withdrawal from circulation of the small notes of the country bankers. DESPERATE ASSAULT.—At the Warwick Assizes, HANNAH Aluextuw, aged 40, and Jean/a4 Alummow, aged 14, were indicted for assaulting Trioaaas illuciceow on the 9th of February lut, in the parish of Reilfo S O T , ee. morning Tlie o facts of f the this case 9th of were Feht•ua raryti, lr aboutsin gular six o'clock, the elder d e f e nd an t, w h o i s t h e proseentor ' a ' rather wife, in consequence of some quarrel, the particulars of which were not stated, left the house and went to that of a neighbour, named SreveNs. The husband, perceiving that she did not return, went after her at half -past eight, and found her and her daughter (the younger defendant( at STEVENS'S. He requested Lie wife to go home ; to which she replied, that she would choose her own time for so doing. He then took her by the arm to lead her atriy, but she broke from him, and seizing the poker, struck at him with it over the head. At the same mo ment his daughter ran behind him, and throwing her arms round his neck, stuck her fingers into his eyes. With one hand he displaced the daughter's fingers, and with the other he guarded his head from his wife's blows, until at last he was enabled to wrench the poker from her grasp; up I :e ib r, tu g: t a l h a o g u a t in a seizingon w hich a particular she ran part betw of ee Lish is pe log r.o s , threwpi pinched hits and se . nii gut upon his feet. The wife then again seized the poker, and n ve u r t e e ly s , n a d s o ha re lf u . der il l e ii attacked him with it. He put up his hand to protect his s ui t r almostug gl e 1 , head, but she sir uck him on either si le of his head, and caused the blood to flow doom copiously from his temples, She continued to strike him on the head and arms until he became senseless, and then both defendants left him.

On the part of the defendants the assault was not denied, but it appeared that the prosecutor had been guilty of most scandalous conduct towards the ftermle members of his own family ; he had five daughters, one of whom (the defendant JEIIIMA) he bad assaulted with a eclairs. intent when she was only twelve years of age, for which he had been in dicted, convicted, and sentenced to two years' imprison ment. An inquiry into his conduct towards two other of his daughters was stopped by the LORD CHIRP 13.1n0m. These circumstances were offered in pollitition of the de fendant's treatment of :he preseentor.
