HOUSE OF LORDS. The House sat on appeals today, at ten o'clock. The Lords present were the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earl FERRERS, and Bishop of BRISTOL. NOEL V. ROCIIFORT. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL concluded his reply in this case, after which The Loan CHANCELLOR said, in consequence of the importance of the case to the parties, and the intricate question which it involved, he should look most carefully over all the papers, and delay giving his opinion (thereby going out of the course he usually adopted) for a week or two. This was the only appeal which had been heard be fore his Lordship which he had not disposed of, but in consequence of many of the difficulties of the case he felt himself called upon to delay giving judgment. DOUGLAS V. BROWN. This Scotch appeal was then called on, and Mr. KNIGHT was addressing the House on the behalf of the appellant when our reporter left. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took motions to-day. CONGREVE ROCKETS.—DANDLEY v. THE EAST IN- DIA COMPANY. Mr. RICHARDS moved that certain documents and papers, represented as being in the possession of the East India Company, might, within three weeks, be delivered over to the Clerk in Court, for the purpose of inspection. The bill in this case had been filed under the following circumstances. The late Sir William Congreve, the inventor of the rockets called after his name, had agreed with the East India Company, in consideration of 5,0001., to deposit with them, in triplicate, due and proper specifications, under seal, verified by affidavit, of his method of preparing his war rockets, and the due proportion of the ingre dients. Some time since Sir William Congreve died, and the East India Company refused to fulfil their engagement. The consequence was the filing of the present bill, to compel them to perform the contract, which the plaintiff alleged they had entered into. An answer had been put in on the part of the East India Company admitting the deposit of the papers referred to under seal, and the object of the present motion was to have those documents delivered over to the Clerk in Court, in order that it might be seen whether the specifications were complete. Mr. WYATT opposed the motion on behalf of the East India Company, denying the existence of any contract between them and Sir William Congreve, but only a treaty; and contending that even if there were a contract, Sir William Congreve had not complied with the terms of it. The VICE-CHANCELLOR understood the Learned Gentle man's objection to be founded on the non-compliance with the contract, that he considered had no reference to the question now before the Court, it did not affect the question of discovery, he should, therefore, order the delivery up of the documents to the Clerk in Court in the usual way. Mr. RICHARDS was anxious the inspection should be as secret as ossible. The VI p CE.CHANCELLOR had nothing to do with third parties. He had sufficient confidence in the officers of the Court to know that they would not act improperly, and therefore he should make the order in the usual way. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Several causes were disposed of during the morning, none of which, however, were of any interest to the general reader. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. This Court was occupied the whole morning in hearing an action br ought to recover a large sum of money. This cause arose out of one of the defalcation of Rowland Stephenson, the late banker. The details, however, were not of the least public interest. OLD BAILEY-(THIS DAY). OLD COURT. Mary Devereaux, the younger, mother and daughter, and Bridget Swift, were capitally indicted for having in their posses sion certain moulds for the purpose of counterfeiting the current coin of the realm. Mr. SC A RLETT stated the case for the prosecution, and afterwards called a great number of witnesses, from whose tes timony it appeared that the prisoners lived in a room at No. 64, Saffron-hill. On the 11th February, information having been re ceived at Hatton-garden police-office that they were in the habit of coining counterfeit shillings and sixpences, the officers of that establishment proceeded to the house, and went to the room occupied by the prisoners, and on finding the door fastened, they burst it open. On entering, they saw the three prisoners sitting round a fire, the elder one had some moulds in her lap, which she attempted to hide, but not succeeding she exclaimed, " Oh, Lord, it is all over with us now." The daughter begged of the officers to spare her mother, adding, " I don't care what you do with me." Swift exclaimed, " Well, we shall all certainly be transported, if nothing worse." On searching the prisoners, a number of counterfeit shillings and sixpences were found on the persons of Devereaux and her daughter, and the moulds were quite hot, so that there could not be any doubt but they were in the act of coining at the time the officers burst open the door. The base coin, moulds, and the materials used in the manufac ture, were produced, and the necessary evidence having been given, The Jury, after Mr. Baron BAYLEY had summed up, re turned a verdict of Guilty against Devereaux and her daughter, and Swift not guilty. This case occupied the Court the whole morning. MR. ST. JOHN LONG. - - This individual, after the verdict on Saturday night, was or dered by the Court to be immediately discharged ; but, from some cause or another, he did not leave Newgate until this day. It is said a detainer against Mr. Long, on a civil process, was lodged in the hands of Mr. Wontner and the Sheriff's of Middle sex. It appears ? however, to have been settled, as at One o'clock Mr. Long's carriage drove up to Newgate, into which he and Mr. Wooler (who prepared his defence) immediately got, and left the prison. THE - FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. (From the Montreal Herald, Jan. 16.) Montreal Papers to the 27th January, and Quebec to the 23d January, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. We have been favoured with the following statement relative to the impo'rtations of the past year at this port, which it will be perdeived is one of the most gratifying nature, as it exhibits a surplus of about 113,000/. over 1629. (From the Quebec Papers.) Petitions to the Imperial Parliament in favour of the present protecting duties on our lumber in the English market are, we understand, about to be sent round for signature in the towns and country parishes. Our Legislature is about to meet on Monday for the despatch of business. _ _ _ The American papers received this day of the Ist. Feb., con tain the following from a St. Thomas's Paper of 29th Jan. :—We have to notice a horrible report going about town for the last two days, but to which no clue has as yet been found. It is said that a vessel has been fallen in with near St. Domingo, with a great number of murdered persons on board; it is supposed that the vessel is the one that was bearing the equestrian corps of Mr. Handry, who was here last year, to St. Domingo, and it was re— ported they had with them a great deal of money. LIVERPOOL, FEB. 19.—The import of Cotton this week is 19,567 bags, and the sales are also extensive, reaching 24,780 bags, at an advance, in the early part of the week, at 90. to %d. per pound, and, at the close, to d. per pound, in consequence of the proposed increase of duty. In Sugar, only 550 hhds. of B.P. have been sold, at former rates. ARRIVALS OF GRAIN IN LONDON DURING LAST WEEK. EF F C to 7, hl From Whence. ro ;,'.7, i:r- F g r ' n Qrs. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs. Q rs.

The French mail has not yet arrived, consequently we are without express or estafette from Paris, but the private letters of Friday give a most alarming account of the state of that capital. The King and the Government seem to be entirely at the mercy of an infuriated mob. The Chamber of Deputies has been a scene of disgraceful recrimination between the different parties, accusing and bidding defiance to each other in turn. The Mi nistry completely intimidated and unprepared how to act, have been obliged to ask for a day's delay to cometo an understanding amongst themselves, and lay before the lhamber some explana tion of the late disturbances ; and in the mean time, in order to stop the panic in the money market, the Government have sent available money to be applied to the sinking fund in order to prop up the prices. However, with all their exertions, they have not been able to prevent a fall of one per cent. between Thursday and Friday, and every body in Paris expects a terrible catas trophe. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 79%% for the Account, opened this morning at 79%, since which the market has be come exceedingly heavy, and Consols have receded to 7914%. In consequence of the unfavourable state of the French capita it is much feared by the speculators that the mob will sooner or later get the upper hand of the present Government. It was reported at Berlin on the 10th that a great number of the Polish peasants had thrown away their rifles and joined the Russian a my on its entrance into Poland. In the Foreign Market every description of stock is heavy. Madras Papers to the 31st of October, and Buenos Ayres to the f.Bth of November, have just been received at the `North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Buenos Ayres Papers.) Appearances denote that it will not be long before decisive measures are resorted to by the political parties in Entrerios. It is reported that the revolution has been favourable to those who raised it, and that Senor Sola has been ejected from his Govern ment. The flot illa sailed for its destination yesterday morning. It would be a waste of time to publish the conflicting accounts respecting Entrerios, and the measures of attack to be launched from thence and other parts against the government of the pro vinces. We have received Cordova Papers to the 12th inst., but they contain no news of importance. MONTEVIDEO. The Papers lately received from the above city contain no news. Exchange 7d. per dollar. (From the Madras Papers.) The Right Hon. the Governor left Calcutta for Barrackpore on Thursday evening. His Lordship has nominated the Hon. W. B. Bailey to be Vice-President during his absence.

In the mean time various reports are in circulation at the Stock Exchange: such as a change in the French Ministry, and that the citizen King has abdicated the throne; of which we do not believe one word. The letters received from Italy positively state, that two Pied_ montese regiments have hoisted the tricoloured flag, and the convents have been shut up. The Funds continue very heavy, and Consols have, during the morning, been done at 79 to !.6 for the Account, at present are 79 to '4. In the Foreign market the various stocks are also heavy. THREE O'CLOCK. Console, 79i I. It is confidently rumoured that a near relativ e , by marriage, of a late I 3 ishoP of WINCHESTER, is on th e eve of resigning his valuable Church preferments. It was observed that during the late thaw, t h e steam arising from the Derbyshire hills was similar to that usually witnessed on a hot summer's day after a shower of rain. A meeting of the householders of St. Anne's parish, Westminster, was held in the vestry-room, for the purpose of petitioning for Refurni in Parliament. Mr. HonuousE, who was present, advocated the vote by bal lot, and a petition was agreed to, embodying that principlv, one bawl being held up against it. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.—Fcb. 18.

Oats sell heavily at a reduction of Is. per quarter. Barley is otiering plen tifully ; the best goes off slowly at a decline of 2s. per quarter, and for inferior samples there is little or no demand.

MEETING OF THE WEST INDIA TRADE. At twelve o'clock this day a meeting of the West India Mer chants, Planters, and other Gentlemen interested in the West India Colonies, took place at the Thatched-house Tavern, Sr. James's-street, the Marquis of CHANDOS in the Chair. The Noble Marquis, on taking his seat, said, in consequence of the omission of any mode of relief for the depressed state of the West India trade in the financial statement of the Chancel lor of the Exchequer, he as Chairman of the West India body had deemed it prudent to call them together, for the purpose of receiving their advice as to what course should be pursued. The Ministers had declared that the distresses of the colonies were of that nature that could not be controuled by Parliament; he, however, had determined to persevere in endeavouring to obtain some relief, and it was to obtain the advice and assistance of the West India body, that lie now wished for their sentiments upon this subject.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BURGE regretted that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had not deemed it advisable to propose some reduction in the du ties of colonial produce, which would benefit the West India in terests, and, by increasing the consumption, do no injury to the revenue. The late and present Government had admitted the existence of great distress in the colonial trade; but though va rious remedies were submitted to them, they were all overlooked, and now a partial and paltry mode of relief was adopted, altoge ther excluding the West India distresses. Mr. Ilurge proposed a string of resolutions, declaring the existence of distress in the West India trade to a great extent, the remedies proposed (par ticularly reducing the duties on rum, sugar, and coffee), and calling on those interested in the colonies, and on the Members of the Legislature, to co-operate with the Marquis of Chandos in his exertions to obtain relief for the distress. These resolutions were carried unanimously. Mr. HIBBERT (an old member of the West India body), Sir W. EAST, and other gentlemen, addressed the meeting. A petition to Parliament, founded on the resolutions, was agreed to, and ordered to be presented by the Noble Chairman. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE. The arrivals of Grain in the preceding week were better than for some time past. Of Flour there was also a good quantity. This morning there is a moderate fresh supply of all lands of Grain. The Wheat trade has been dull since Monday se'nnight, and the prices ofthe best qualities have been readily supported, but otherkinds are 2s. per quarter cheaper. Barley is dull, and hardly maintains its former value. Beans and Pease have not a free sale, but are not cheaper. Oats found buyers slowly, and ac there is an increased quantity, this article may be stated Is. per quarter lower. Flour is unaltered as to the top price, but other kinds may be purchased lower.

Orders have been given to prepare the Lodge for her Royal Highness's reception by the 21st.— Windsor Express. We can state, from the highest authority, that the KING has expressed great•. dissatisfaction at the attempt which is making, by a particular party, to oppose the Government, on factious grounds, on the great ques tion of Reform. His AIAJESTV has declared that reason able Reform is indispensable, and that none but enemies to good order will oppose it. The opinions of his MA JESTY in favour of Reform were known even during the Administration of the Duke of WELLINGTON.— Court Journal. DEATH OF LORD OSBORNE.—Lord CON YERS OSBORNE, second son of his Grace the Duke of Limns died on Wednesday night last, at Christ Church, in Oxford University, in the 19th year of his age. The immediate cause of death has been attributed to an extra vasation of blood in the canal of the spinal marrow, so as to amount to an effusion of blood upon the brain ; but how that originated the surgeons could not ascertain, as there was no mark of external injury. It further ap peared that his Lordship had been struggling with a young friend, soon after which he fell from his chair, and when taken up, life was extinct. A Coroner's IntitieSt was held on the body, and a verdict returned of Per In fortunium, or chance medley.— Oxford Journal. The late General BoLIVAR died in the 48th ye ,r of his age. The diamold crosses, and other magnifi cent decorations which had been presented to the hero, by the different states and towns in Peru and Bolivia, are, by the Liberator's order, to be restored to the donors as me morials of his affection. Colonel WILSON, Son Of Sir ROBERT WIL SON, has, in consequence of the fatigue and anxiety caused by his close attendance upon his friend and patron Bouvatt, been attacked with such severe illness, that for the preser vation of his life the humane Commander of the Blanche, Commodore FARQUHAR, insisted upon conveying him to Jamaica, in the well-founded hope, as it has turned out, that the voyage and superior medical attendance would prove of advantage. The last words of BOLIVAR'S will contain instructions to his executors to thank Lieut.-Ge neral Sir ROBERT WILSON for the good conduct of his son, Colonel BELFORD WILSON, who had so faithfully accom panied him in the capacity of his Aide-de-Camp to the last hour of his existence. Sir HUMPHRY DAVY, it appears, on his visit to the Continent, treated the French chemists with at least apparent superciliousness; yet, after his death, it is to PArtis we are indebted for his life. VALENTINES. — The number of valentines sent through our Post-office (says the Dublin Morning Register), on Monday last, was 39.433—the receipts on which were 1641. 6s. la. The number last year w ere 37,950, the receipts on which were 1581. 2s. 6d.

On Friday last, the Anniversary of the Society for tlO. Propagation of the Gospol in Fore'gn Parts, the Lore Mayor gave a most splendid entertainment to the dignita ries of the church at the Mansion-house. The Egyptian ball, in which the company to the number of upwards 0 a hundred, dined, was fitted up with extreme magnifi cence. The Lord Mayor, some of the Aldermen, Ind th Sheriffs, ha, conformably with ancient custom, met th. Archbishop, Bishops, and other members of the Society. at Bow church, when a sermon was preached by th, Bishop of Carlile, upon the text, " In Abraham shall all the families of the earth be blessed." There were present, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of Landon, Winchester, Bangor, Bath and Wells. Bristol, Carlisle, Chester, Chichester, Exeter, Gloucester, Hereford. Lichfield and Coventry, Llandaff, Lincoln, Pe terborough, Rochester, Salisbury, St.Asaph and St. Davies, Lord Howe, Lord Clarendon, Lord Wynford, Mr. Justice Parke, Mr. Justice Gaselee, the Dean of Hereford, Arch deacon Hamilton, Archdeacon Potts, the Archdeacon of Middlesex, the Rev. Dr. D'Oyley, the Rev. Dr. Richards. the Rev. Mr. Lowden, the Archbishop of Canterbury's Chaplain ; the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, and severs of the Directors of the East India Company ; the Rev. Mr. Benson, the Rev. Dr. Heath, the Head Master of St. Paul's, the Rev. Mr. Greenwood of Christ's Hospital, &c . After the usual toasts, " Church and King," " Tlo Queen," " The Princess Victoria, and the other branches of the Royal Family," The LORD MAYOR proposed " Prosperity to the Incor porated Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts." The toast was drank enthusiastically. The Loan MAYOR then proposed " The health of the Archbishop of Canterbury"—a toast which he knew would be received with peculiar manifestations of respect and esteem.—(Cheers.) The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, in returning thanks, expressed himself peculiarly obliged that, at a period like the present, the Lord Mayor should have received in so kind and marked a manner the members of a society whose exertions produced such beneficial effects upon the best interests of mankind. During the long period in which he hail presided over the diocese of London, he had in variably observed, on the part of the Magistracy of the City, the most friendly disposition towards the Church, in separably connected as it was with the great interests of the cotninunity.—(Cheers.) He concluded by proposing " The health of the Lord Mayor," and, in doing so, he said he could not sit dawn without bearing the warmest testimony to the hospitalities of the present Mayoralty. The LORD MAYOR assured his Grace and their Lord ships that, although it was to him a source of the highest gratification to be honoured by the kindness of his friends, that honour was now doubly valuable conferred as it was upon him by the venerable and distinguished Prelates of that Church in whose principles and doctrines he had been educated from his earliest infancy. At times like the pre sent, when the doctrines of the Church were assailed, and her principles were misrepresented and scandalized by the infidel and the blasphemer, when strenuous efforts were made to undignify and deprecate the sacred profession, it was the duty of every conscientious man publicly to avow his sentiments on a subject of such importance to the tem poral and eternal interest of mankind.—(Cheers.) The Bishop of LONDON, in rising to propose the health of the Lady Mayoress, wished first also particularly to testify his sense of approba , ion at the sentiments the Lord Mayor had so fully uttered of sincere attachment to the principles of the Church of England. He felt, in common with his brethren, the respectful and dignified manner in which they had been entertained, and he was convinced that all would appreciate, as all must have ob served, the affable and graceful deportment of the Lady Mayoress.—(Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR simply asserted, what he said be had from his heart uttered on other occasions, that, how ever deeply he might feel any mark of attention towards himself he felt it doubly grateful when it was extended to her, because to her, more than to any other source, he had been indebted, under Providence, for the happiness of his life. His Lordship then proposed the health of a distin guished Nobleman, whose name must be perfectly familiar to every reader of the history of our native country, "the Earl of Clarendon," a great name, which had lost none of its splendour by its hereditary transfer to so liberal a pa tron and supporter of the various charitable institutious which adorned Great Britain. Lord CLARENDON assured the company that he felt sin cere pleasure in meeting so many distinguished friends of a society of which, during a long life, be had been an anxious and, he hoped, a zealous supporter. He thought it most important to connect the view of our commercial prosperity with that of our charitable and religious insti tutions.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then proposed the distinguished Dio cesan of London, who had, he said, been for a series of years connected with the city. The Bishop of LONDON said that, during his long and intimate connection with the city of London, he had ex perienced from its Magistrates, upon many occasions, the most friendly intercourse ; but upon no previous occasion had he observed a better feeling manifested towards the church, of which he was now an unworthy, though a prominent member.—(Cheers.) Between the offices of the Lord Mayor and of himself, he could readily trace a corresponding interest. The Lord Mayor, by the promo tion of morality, and the ends of justice, and he by the cultivation of the high principles upon which they wets founded, were alike endeavouring to better the condition of the inhabitants of the metropolis; and he would add that, without the fundamental principles of religion, justice could never be rightly administered, The next health proposed by the LORD MAYOR was that of a Nobleman whose name had obtained, as it had de served, like that of Lord Clarendon, the admiration of the country. Amongst the names of distinguished Ad mirals, who by their skill and valour had rendered im mense service to their country, Lord Howe was surpassed by none. Although the distinguished Noblemen who bore that name was now known to the company in ano ther character, yet it was obvious that, had he been placed in a similar situation, he would, like his illus trious ancestor, have reflected glory on his country. In the distinguished situation of Lord Chatnberlain to our beloved and gracious Queen, his Lordship must be engaged in a most delightful service, when in attendance on sane who was the brightest gem in the Crown ; and a Monarch who most justly and entirely deserved and possessed the hearts of the people over whom he heti, by the beneficence of the Deity, been called to reign—(Loud cheers)—and who, it was hoped most eerzestly, would long live a bless ing, a comfort, and a protection to his people.—(Cheering.) The Noble Lord had, in his official situation, shown to him (the Lord Mayor) and to the Lady Mayoress the utmost kindness and urbanity, and he was most heartily welcome to the City of London, to partake of the hospi talities of its City Magistrate. Lord Howe briefly returned thanks. The Lonn Mayou, in proposing " The Bench of Bishops," felt happy in acknowledging to their Lordships tin+ sense he entertained of the honour they had conferred upon him by their numerous attendance on this flittering occasion. For all of them, as Prelates of our invaluable establishment, he kit the highest respect. With the friendship of many of them he had for some years peen honoured. He felt it due to the distinguished Pratte whose name stood first, and who so ably presided over the diocese in which he (the Lord :Mayor) resided, to express personally what he so fve.: l uently stated on other occa sions, great 4dmir4tion at the manner in which he per formed the distinguished duties of his station, and how awusive upon all occ isions he was to those committed to his care. The Lord Mayor concluded by proposing " The health of the Lord Bishop of Winchester, and the Bench of Bishops." The Bishop of WINCHESTER returned thanks. " The Judges of the Land," and other toasts followed. The feast was admitted by all the guests to be one of the most exquisite they had ever partaken of, The debate on Friday night in the House of . Commons is considered as decidedly warlike by the stock Exchange politicians. They begin to doubt, or to affect to doubt, the sincerity of the pacifie declarations of the French Cabinet ; a line of thinking which they have been, probably, led to adopt from the speech of the Right Hon. Sir ROBERT PEEL. It is said, too, that the Government have recently detected some little manoeuvres on the part of the Cabinet of Louis PHILLIPE, and that they have aseertaincd that the French fleet in the Mediterranean is much larger than was supposed.--Morning Paper.

Yesterday morning the persons living in the neighbour hood of Church-street were frightfully alarmed, by the re port that a watchman named Lynch, had murdered his two children, our aged two years, and the other nine months old, and that afterwards he had cut his own throat. This report was so horrible, the fact was one so unusual, and was so unknown to this country, that it was very generally disbelieved. On inquiry, however, it appeared that the report was too true. Upon those who happened to he living in Church-street going to the place where it was said the murder had occurred, No. 63, Church-street, a scene of horror and poverty presented itself, such only as crime could have perpetrated, or as the misery, such as is to be found in Ireland, could have equalled. In a room which was stripped of all furniture, and destitute of every kind of comfort, was to be seen stretched in the middle of the floor, the wretched man, Lynch, his throat dreadfully gashed from the wound he had recently inflicted up n himself. At a short distance from him was a small boodle of straw, arranged in the form of a bed, on which were two infants, both apparently asleep, but upon a nearer in spection of them, were to be seen the throats of the inno cent babes deeply slashed by the razor of their m:iniac and diabolical parent.
