It is stated in a Morning Paper, that Capt. NAPIER is going out to replace Admiral SARTORIUS in the command of the Consti tutional fleet. We believe that Capt. NAPIER has consented to co-operate with SARTORIUS in the event of his being willing to retain the command of the fleet ; but if SARTORIUS should still wish to retire, as it is believed he will, Capt. NAPIER will be appointed to the command. AL COMTE and M. PIRON have resumed their negotiations with our post-office ; but as nothing decisive can take place without an Act of Parliament, it is not probable in the present state of the session that if the parties should agree on the terms of the arrangement there will be any alteration in the conveyance of the mail from London to Paris, until the ensuing spring Frankfort papers of the 19th of May have . come to hand, but they add little or nothing tu• the information previously received from that quarter. " Poland," they state, "is cast down by the late revolution"--a melancholy truth— but no news. It is said that Baron Von ROTHSCHILD is going to leave Frankfort and settle at Munich. New York Papers to the 2d inst. have been received. They contain an account of a fire which broke out in that city, destroying four blocks of buildings and forty horses. The news from Mexico states that General SANTA ANNA was elected President by a majority of 13 votes out of 20. Public peace prevailed throughout the South American Republics.

At a time when the shipowners are again endeavouring to raise a cry of their being pecu liarly distressed, and have prevailed on the good nature of the Government to grant them a Committee of Inquiry, it is important that the public should know upon what foundation their complaints rest. En the very nick of time Mr. RICHARD Mooßsom presents us with a pamphlet, entitled, " Thoughts on the Changes which have taken place In the Navigation Laws," &c. It contains, in a short com• pass, as dear and interesting an exposition of the past and present state of the shipping interest as we could desire to see. He refutes in the plainest manner the oft repeated assertions of the ignorant declaimers in favour of monopoly that the British shipowner is being ruined by the reciprocity system, and that it is in the power of the Government to retrace the steps we have been forced to take by foreign Powers. He begins by stating the notorious fact that we were a great maritime nation before the passing of the Navigation Laws, so much admired by those who boast of their ignorance and hatred of political economy, with much the same sort of reason that a critic would boast of his igno- ranee of grammar. Our Navigation Laws were enacted with the view of destroying Dutch commerce ; and, " up to the year 1783," we quote Mr. Mooßsom's pamphlet, " the sum and result of the Navigation Laws of Eng land were, that goods, the produce of Africa, Asia, and America could only be imported directly from the place of their production, and in British ships ; European enumerated commodities could only be imported in British ships, or in ships of those countries of which such commodities were the produce ; besides, goods, when thus imported in a foreign ship, were subject to a higher custom duty than when imported in a British vessel ; these were called the alien, or discriminating duties, and their amount might be a shilling in the pound, or five per cent. in favour of a British ship. It is necessary to be borne in mind that these discriminating duties alone are affected by the reciprocity treaties. Prussia may, and probably does, charge a much higher im post on a British article than on a similar one of domestic manufacture. England imposes a duty of 555. per load on Prussian timber, while only 10s.per load is paid on that of Canada ; but in neither of these instances is there a violation of the principle of reciprocity, which merely provides, that when an article of merchandise can be legally imported, it shall make no difference as respects the duty, in what ship the commodity is conveyed." As has been said over and over again, as long as foreign countries permitted us to make articles coming in their ships pay more duty than articles coming in our ships, we acted perhaps for our interest in making them pay more, but directly they began to retaliate it was clearly our advantage to charge only equal, duties on foreign and our own ships. The manner in which we were compelled into a reci procity of duties by North America is very clearly shown by Mr. Mooßsom : " In 1783, our former colonies in North America, rose to the rank of Independent States, and it speedily became evident that one great principle of the navigation law must be abandoned. It no longer depended upon ourselves that the produce of America should be brought to England in British ships alone. The Americans im mediately set themselves to work to counteract this pro vision. As an independent nation, i t was competent for them to declare, that the produce of England should not be received in the ports of America except in American ships. They resolved, that all foreign ships, trading to Ame rica, should pay a dollar per ton duty more than was paid by national ships ; and further, that goods imported in foi eign vessels, should pay a duty of ten per cent. over and above what was demandable on the same description of goods im ported in American vessels. I would here ask every unpreju diced man, if there was any thing unjust, any thing un reasonable, any thing of which we could properly com plain, in this proceeding? Was it not strictly a retalii tory measure? Was it not an act, in principle and practice, copied from our own, and intended to be pro tective of American ships? " The British Government instantly endeavoured to render fruitless these proceedings of the Americans. The two nations engaged in a warfare of discriminating duties. Every additional impost pl aced on American vessels, in British ports, was met by a counteracting impost on Bri tish vessels, in Americm ports. Wearied out, at length, by such a harassing waste of national resources, the two countries finally agreed on a treaty of reciprocity. " In the year 1815, under the Tory Administration of Lord Liverpool, a negotiation was begun at Ghent, which terminated in this—that American and British ships should, as to charges, be plac,ll on a footing of equality in the respective ports of the two countries." Other countries also very soon found out that our dealings with them were for our interest, and that we must continue to deal with them even if they no longer submitted to have their shipping placed on a footing of disadvantage in our ports, which English shipping their ports. Accordingly, in 1822 the Prus sian Government was not in "Imposed on British ships discriminating duties, which in a few years made Prussian execed British vessels almost in as great a proportion as they had previously fallen below them. - - - " These imposts and their result c +used the Board of Trade, and other departments of Government, to be as sailed with representations from all quarters connected with the shipping trade of England, ag.iinst the heavy charges imposed upon British ships in the ports of Prussia. What was to be done ? We remonstrated with the Prussian Government, and the answer was such as might have been expected, 'Of what can you reasonably complain? We are only imitating the example you set us, and have ex tended to our own subjects a system of protection similar to that which you have so long given to yours.' " Grieved we might be, but we could not be offended at the course of policy which Prussia chose to adopt. She is an independent nation, and discriminating duties are altogether a question of power. The commerce of Prussia is as necessary to us as ours is to her. Were we, then, to declare war, and risk the loss of that commerce, and in addition, entail upon ourselves those burdens which we know, by fatal experience, war always brings in its train ? What then remained to he done ? A treaty was entered into, mutual imposts were removed, and the rapidly grow ing disproportion betwixt British and Prussian vessels received a controlling check." It is merely the relaxation we have been corn pelled to make, that has been made, and yet the shipowners call out that they have been ruined by theorists. How little our ancient laws in their favour, giving them a monopoly which no other interest has, no not even the landed interest, may be judged of by Mr. Mooßsom's brief view of what remains to them. He says, truly, " Ir. conformity with the ancient Navigation Law, Bri tish ships enjoy all the coasting trade and the fisheries; they have exclusively all the North American timber trade, and all the Wt st India trade for the supply of the mother country ; all the carrying trade betwixt England and the East Indies, China, and Australia ; in short, wherever England can command at both ends, and where, therefore, bas real power, the British ship-owner enjoys a com plete monopoly, a' d meets with no rival. Perhaps in this manner he has not less than five-sixths of the whole of our carrying trade, and of the remaining sixth as much as possible is secured for him by negotiation and other ami cable means. lam truly sorry that he cannot have the whole of this latter portion, but he should remember that this never was the case. I should rejoice if foreign flags could be banished from our harbours; but I do not think it prudent to rush headlong intq war, for the purpose of adding one-half of one sixth of the carrying trade to that o 'lion which we alread7 securely and exclusively enjoy; nd with the certainty, by our attempting to do so ; of ac ttering ruin over a smiling land.'" . Sound policy dictated the changes which have been made, but none have been made going further than necessity obliged us to go. Mr. MOORSOM follows up his statement of these notorious facts by showing from official documents that we have not suffered in conse quence of having been compelled to yield to the just claims of foreign powers, for since the re ciprocity treaties have been in force, foreign shipping entering our ports has either declined in amount, or not increased in the same propor tion as our own. These are plain facts, the in ferences to be drawn from which no sophistry can set aside. Whatever report, therefore, the shipowners may have interest enough to procure to be made by the Committee now sitting, they must bring something beyond vague assertion to prove either that they have been hurt by the reciprocity treaties, or that we have not been compelled to enter into them. Nay, more, they must tell us why it is that not only they, but the Americans, go on building ship after ship to en gage in a trade they declare to be ruinous. We must either suppose the shipowners, both English and American, to be fools, or the over cunning supporters of the former, liars. As the shipowners have at stake capital (which is worth something), and their hireling writers only their words (which are worth nothing), we strongly incline to the opinion that our latter supposition approaches nearer to the truth than it would be courteous in us more directly to intimate. Our attention has been particularly called to the advantages that would be derived by the in habitants of the metropolis, and particularly the Sirand, were the western dial of St. Mary-le- Strand illuminated with gas. From the manner in which the spire of the church has been built, and from what has been done at the Royal Ex change, Glasgow, we are informed that this can be effected in a manner superior to anything of the kind in the metropolis, and at a mere trifle of expense. We recommend this to the atten tion of the church wardens and parishioners. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T - Ti 7 ELVE O'CLOCK Madras Papers to the 10th February, Montreal to the 26th April, and Quebec to the 24th April, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Madras Papers state, that during the last fortnight there has been much stir in the opium market, and large speculative purchases have been made at advanced prices, in spite of the failure of Messrs. Mackintosh and Co., whose dealings in this drug were always extensive. Teerut Singh, ex-rajah of Nunklow, with whom we have been at war ever since the massacre of Lieut. Beddingfield, has surrendered to the force under Capt. Lister, on condition that his life should be spared. The Quebec papers have the following :—" The North Ame rican Land Company letters were yesterday received from a very credible source, which state that the negotiations of the Committee with Government have been renewed, with every prospect of success." . . Jamaica papers to the 20th April have been received ; they are chiefly filled with the elections. KINGSTON ELECTION. The election for three Members to serve in the new Parlia ment, took place yesterday morning. The poll was opened as usual, and the contest was carried on with the greatest spirit ; and we are happy to state that no disturbance took place. Price Walker 232 John Campbell Hector Mitchell Alexander Bravo Barnaby Madden. 94 The three former were declared elected. The New York papers state, that Ex-sheriff Parkins is now confined prisoner in that city, on several suits for slander. THE FUNDS. Consols, which left off yesterday at 8914 N, for the Ac count, with a firm market, opened this morning at 89% 1. Up to the present hour we have no Continental arrivals, but no doubt the improvement of the funds may be attributed to the expectation of a speedy arrival of the ratification of the treaty with Holland. We hear that one of Don I'edro's chief agents here, is going to take his departure for Oporto. He carries with him a con siderable sum of money for the Emperor. Consols have been done at 89 % for Account, but are now 89f I HALF-PAST ONE. Two thousand French troops from France are expected at Cowes, from whence they will proceed with Captain Napier on a secret expedition to Portugal. Consols have been during the whole of the morning at 89i for the Account, with little doing. We do not hear of any express from Paris in the city. In the foreign market Portuguese Stock and Scrip have im proved, also Brazil Stock A Quebec paper of the 9.4 th April has been received ; it statc,s that seven hundred letters have been addressed and sent off to the Ministers of the Cabinet on the timber duties.

His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS proceeded with peti tions to-day, but no case of the least public importance had come before the Court previous to our reporter leaving. His Hodotr will not sit on Monday or Tuesday next. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) EARL FERRERS V. HUTCHINSON. Mr. RICHARDS applied ex parte, on behalf of the plaintiff, Earl Ferrers, for a special injunction to restrain the defendant from working for lime.stone or lead ore, contrary to the terms of an agreement entered into between the parties. From the statements of the Learned Counsel, supported by the affidavit of the agent of the plaintiff, it appea red that in May, 1832, an agreement was entered into between Earl Ferrers and the de fendant, by which the Earl agreed to let the defendant certain lime-stone and lead mines upon his Lordship's estates at Staunton Herald, upon the conditions that the works should be carried on in the deep, and not upon the surface ; and also that the coals for carrying on the works should be had from a neighbouring colliery on the estates of his Lordship. The de fendant having violated both these conditions, had rendered the present application necessary. His HONOUR immediately granted the injunction. KING'S BENCH -(THIS DAY.) TILE KING V. RUSSELL. At the latter end of last term the Solicitor-General obtained a rule calling on the defendant, who was a printer, at Birming ham, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for printing and publishing a seditious placard. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (to-day) said the defendant was now in Court, having determined on coming up from Bir mingham to defend himself in person, and the defendant Vas desirous of having the case called on immediately, as it would be extremely inconvenient and expensive to him to remain long from home. . _ . . . The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said the Court would not be justified in taking such a case out of its usual course merely to serve the purposes of any private individual, nor even of any gentleman at the bar. After some discussion it was directed that the case should be heard on the last day but one of the term, when it might better suit the defendant's convenience, and at the . same time it would not be out of its turn; the defendant, in case of the rule being made absolute, to consent to receive a notice of trial for the next Warwick Assizes. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. PLATT moved for a rule, calling on two gentlemen (whom he did not name) to show cause why they should not pay over to his clients 771. 15s. 7d. The attorneys had been employed by the applicants, who were executors to a gentleman named Turner, to arrange the affairs of the testator. Upon all the affairs being settled, the solicitors were paid the full amount of their bill, and as there was still 771. 153. 7d. due to the Legacy duty office, it was thought best that they should pay that money, and the sum was given him for that purpose. This was in June last. Frequent applications were afterwards made to the soli citors for legacy duty office receipts, without avail, and the applicants had just ascertained that the money had never been paid ; that it had been misapplied ; and that, consequently, the applicants were still liable to pay it. His LORDSHIP granted a rule to show cause. THE KING V. CHARLES FREDERICK BARBER. Mr. WADDINGTON moved for a certiorari to change the venue of this case. It was an indictment against the defendant for a libel on the mayor and magistrates of Boston, in Lincolnshire. The affidavit of Mr. Kenrick, the Town-Clerk of Boston, stated that a fair trial could not be expected in the county of Lincoln; that the libel imputed to the mayor and magistrates the crimes of bribery, perjury, subornation and perjury, and various other malversations in their office of magistrates ; that in Boston, and generally in the county of Lincoln, there was a strong feeling against the corporation, and, indeed, against all corporations; that in the newspapers of Boston statements had been published calculated to excite a strong prejudice against the corporation of Boston ; that the libels complained of had relation to proceedings by the corporation for the recovery of certain tolls; that proceedings had been taken against the corpora tion by an association, the members of which were the class of persons who would probably be on the Jury to try the in dictment. His LORDSHIP granted a rule Nisi. TIIE KING V. JOHN NOBLE, Mr. WAnoiNwroN made a similar motion in this case, and under the same circumstances. Rule Nisi granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY IIAYNES AND OTIIERS V. FOSTER AND CO. The Court was occupied the whole morning with the above case, which has so often before been tried and argued. The action arose out of the bankruptcy of Wood and Poole, bill- brokers, and was brought for the recovery of a sum of 700/. odd, the value of some bills put into their hands for discount by the plaintiffs. Wood and Poole pledged them among a lot of GO in the hands of the defendants, at the same time re. ceiving an advance upon them. There have already been four trials arising out of the same transaction against the de fendants, and verdicts both ways. In the present action the verdict was for the plaintiffs, and a rule Nisi was obtained by the defendants, and afterwards turned into a special case, which was now argued by Mr. Crompton, assisted by Mr. Williams, for the plaintiffs, and by Mr. Sergeant Coleridge and Mr. Richards, with Mr. Sergt. Wilde, for the defendants. The Court deferred its judgment. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) The COURT was occupied for a considerable time this morn. ing in hearing cause shown why there should not be a new trial in a case of excessive distress, in which a verdict had been given against the broker. Nothing of the least public interest was elicited, either by the argument or reply, up to the time when our reporter left. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY FROM LLOYD'S.

Yesterday being the birthday of the Princess VICTC RIA, when her Royal Highness entered her 15th year, tl e 'lay was observed at Kensington with much feeling of a'• tachment. The bells of the parish church rang merry peals from an early hour in the morning; the flags wet e hoisted on the church, litc. At twelve o'clock the Duchess of KENT and the Princess received the congratulations of all the members of their Royal Highnesses' household. In the afternoon they received visits from the QUEEN, the Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND. the Princess Au. GUSTA, the Princess SOPHIA, the Duke of Susses, the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, the Princess SOFHIA MATILDA, and Prince GEORGE of Cambridge. Almost all the Foreign Ministers and the nobility and gentry in town called during the day to leave their n3n.es for the Duchess of KENT. At night their Royal Highnesses' tradespeople in the neighbourhood of Kensington illuminated their houses. In the evening the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA, with a large suite, went to the ball given in honour of the day at the palace at St. Jame s's b y their MAJESTIES. His MAJES ' T'Y gave audience yesterday to the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Archbishop of YORK, Earl GREY, and Viscount DUNCANNON.

At the conclusion of the play last evening, Mr. WARDE addressed the audience as follows : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—Authorized and appointed by my brethren forming the Committee of Management, I respect fully beg leave to read to you what will form a portion of our announcement in the bills of to.morrow." Mr. \VARDE then read from a paper the following:— " Theatre Royal, Olympic.—Under the sanction of the Right Honourable the Lord Chamberlain. " The Covent-garden Company, in offering their acknow ledgments to a British public for their generous support, and the consequent success which has thus far attended their efforts, cannot refrain from expressing to that public the astonishment with which they contemplate an announcement of the re-open. ing of the Theatre Royal, Covent-garden, on Monday, with a Foreign Operatic Company, aided by a portion of the members of the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, after the lessee of Covent garden had officially declared to the Company that the Theatre was closed for the season. _ _ " Notwithstanding the painful and unprecedented predica ment in which the Covent-garden Company thus find them. selves placed, they respectfully beg leave to announce to their liberal patrons, that their exertions will be continued with increased vigour, to merit their protecting patronage during the period to which their license (granted to them by the Right Hon. the Lord Chamberlain, under the peculiar circumstances of their case), namely, the completion of the number of acting nights of the usual Covent-garden season." The allusions to the reopening of Covent-garden with the German Company, and aid from Drury.lane, were received by the marked disapprobation of the audience ; and the conclusion of the address elicited loud and long continued plaudits. On Thursday afternoon the Duke of ORLEANS and suite arrived at Liverpool, by the railroad, from Manchester. His Royal Highness took up his resi• dence at the Adelphi Hotel, where he was visited by the Mayor and the bailiffs, who proceeded in state from the Town-hall to welcome his Royal Highness to Liverpool. Lord KING is, we hear, a little better. His Lordship remains, however, in a very precarious state. It is rumoured that the Bishop of HERE FORD, the P..emier's brother, is to lead the opposition to the It i.h Church Bill in the House of Lords. The oppo nents of the Bill, it is added, calculated upon throwing it out by a majority bordering upon 40. Colonel EVANS gave notice last night that on the motion for going into Committee on the Assessed Taxes Bill, he would move for a Select Committee to inquire into the grounds of the alleged injustice or inequa lity in the repartition of the house and Window Taxes— as regards the industrious classes on the one band—and the nobility and gentry in town and country on the other. MONTGOMERY'S NEW POENl.—This fa vourite Poet's New Work, the title of which is " Woman, the Angel of Life," will, we understand, be published in a very few days. MORE MANIFESTATIONS.—We regret to learn that the mania of extraordinary gifts is spread ng amongst us. We are credibly informed that, within these few days, a most respectable citizen and man of business, who is an elder in one of the parish churches in this city, waited upon his minister, and intimated that he felt himself under the influence of the Spirit, and that it it should come upon him in the church, he might be ob liged to speak. The worthy clergyman told him that he could give countenance to no such extravagance, and that he must be under the necessity of preventing any inter , ruption to the regular service. • The elder replied, that in that case he conceived it would be his duty to resign his office, which he accordingly tendered, and which was ac cepted of, the clergyman observing that he would much rather receive his resignation than be under the painful necessity of expelling him from office.—Edinburgh Paper The Frankfort Gazette has the following, of the 12th inst., from Berlin:_" A suit instituted by some Paris contractors against the Bank of Poland, excites much interest here, since it has revealed that Prince Louis Bo- NAPARTE and the Prince de la MosKowA had, at the time of the revolution, accepted the command of the troops that were to proceed from France to Lithuania. It also appears, from the printed documents relative to this suit, that Count LUBIENSKI was the principal agent of the Poles in France, and that he was charged to superintend the convey nice of at ms and ammunition to Poland. This is the more extra ordinary, as he is dousiciliated to the Duchy of Posen, and cunsequen ly is a subject of Prussia. The issue of thi, trial is looked forward to with great impatience."— Galig nani's Messenger. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURS DAY, MAY 23.—Cotton has been in good demand. Toe sales this day are 2,500 to 3,000 bags, at full prices. SERVICE AFLOAT.—In the Work just pub lished under this title, the subject of slavery in our colonies is treated at considerable length (from personal observation), and many strong facts are offered as the foundation of the remarks put forth. At the present period, when the question of slave emancipation is so hotly discussed, these remarks will be read with great interest. During the interval which precedes the resumed conside ration of this important ...otter by the House of Commons, it would be well to weigh attentively the statements and arguments which these pages convey.

The cotton trade—as I told you here on a former occasion—is profitless, in spite of its new machinery; and the poor wages which it pays cannot he sustained. The latest improvements in cotton ma chinery come from abroad ; and there is but a halfpenny 1 between us and the successful rivalry of petty Switzer hind, although the manufacturers have to convey the raw mate, ial by land over the whole breadth of Italy, and tip their enormous mountains. - The hirelings of the tad .. ereancy have been for some time telling bushels of Its a shout the riches and splendour of the eo!ton Pine-'. Now it happens that I h the lately been among those cotton Princes, and I do not stand before you with a m tutu, tilled with lies, nor will I w.ste your time in idle cords. But I declare to you, from my own knowledge, chat many of those cotton Princes inhabit worse houses than my father lived in 40 years ago, when he wait a poor commercial clerk. I found one of them dwel ling in a paltry room under his huge mill, a worse room than my poor father's kitchen. Another of them, the King of the cotton princes of Glossop—Wood by name— ( found labouring with his own hands, in a shabbier coat ban was ever seen on the back of the half-starved corn aw rhymer ; and I actually mistook hires for one of his own workmen. But who that looks at this meetinz can believe that these facts are true ? Where are the influen ctal men of Sheffield ? If there is any tru'h in what I ;lave slid, why are they not here ? They may sleep. hut .I.struction will not. Where are the fundholders of Shef field ? Their property will he the very next great lump which the landed cormorants will th your ; for the contest letween them and the executive, as to which party s 1 all levour the taxes, is already begun—witness •he late sF.,y- tog s and doings about the malt cix ! But where are the great capitalists of Sheffield, our first-class merchants and ,nanufacturera? Why are they not here ? Why did not they convene this meeting ? If they think they are not interested in overthrowing the infernal despo ism of the territorial friends, they will too late discover their error, when profit is annihilated, and the poor-rates alone are sufficient to eat out their whole substance. For ourselves, perhaps, the very best we could do would he, to let our en, mica finish their work. Why should we try to save the accursed aristocracy against their will ? Why should we care for them, or for their still more despicable imitators—the reptiles who call us rabble—the fag-end of Cie great vulgar—the paltry dandies, in the puffs of whose aegars we read apologies for military execution, and the Stieffield Peterlou? Do the wretches suppo , e we can live on the air ? They will not let us import corn ; but if to keep soul and body together, we drink discoloured watcr, and call it coffee, they tell us we are living on luxuries ! H•arest thou this, oh, outraged God of justice? How long must we endure intolerable wrongs and the extremity of insult? Oh, that ere I die, I might see the sturdy beggars beg heir bread as common beggars ! I would then thank thee, God of retribution, and welcome my bed of clay. To show you what a destroyer the bread tax is, I will now brit fly compare it with the tax on foreign iron. If 20 tons of foreign iron are daily used here, the duty is a tax of SOL per day on the trade of Sheffield. It would give a shilling per day additional wages to 600 workmen ; or, it would enable 600 Sheffield workmen to compete with 600 fo reign workmen, to the amount of a shilling per day—a matter of some importance in these days of competition, and yet the whole amount of the tax or, foreign iron is only a few hundred thousand pounds a-year, while the corn laws cost and destroy fifty millions ! How, then, can you expect any relief from the opening of new markets? Unless you can sell as cheaply as your rivals, these mar kets will he opened for them, not for you. Well, then, blessed with a bread tax loving Ministry, and a corn law supporting Parliament, you are met to petition the King to dismiss the one—and I wish I might add, to dissolve the other—ere twenty millions of human beings be in the streets without employment, without wages, without fooi, and without hope." LORDS' n IITTEES.-It appears from a Parliamentary Return just printed that the expenses of all Committees of the House of Lords from 1813 to 1832 in clusive amounted to 24,3131. Ss. sd. The year in which the most expenses were incurred was 1830, on account of the East Retford Disfranchisement Committee, the cost of which alone amounted to 9,0171. The Committee on the Penryn Disfranchisement Bill, in 1828, cost 7,0161., and that on Irish Tithes, in 1830, 2,5291. The expenses of these Committees far exceeded those of any other, the ma jority of which did not amount to 100/. The most eco ooinical Committee was that on compensation to persons affected by the County Courts Bill, the charges for which amounted to only 1/. 18s. Strong remarks are made as to the manner in which more than one of the many Election Ganmittees of the present session have been constituted. We trust, if there is any foundation for this, that the reformed House of Commons will see the n, ce.sity of removing iiuy complaints against the mode of exercising its judicial functions. AWFUL SUDDEN DEATH.--About half past nine o'clock last night, a private of the 4th, or Royal Irish Dragoons, went into a public house in Dublin street, and called for a pint of porter, but before he was able to put it to his lips, he fell back and immediately expired.— Tipperary Free Press. A RECIPE FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF A COUNTRY. —In order to prepare the body politic, and put it into the best possible order for taking the following dose, it must be "kept for some time previous to the ad ministering of it in considerable heat and agitation." This will be " greatly promoted" by keeping the "spirits n a ferment," by exciting opposite and contendittg pas sions. The " different sentiments and views of different friends," some strongly urging one line of conduct, others proposing one diametrically opposite; one party preaching patience and submission, t her rousing the spirits and exciting to revenge : and all urging their opinions with zeal, with vehemence, and with obstinacy, These dr_ cumstances will greatly contribute to put the patient into the desired state. Hence will ensue a certain restlessness and dis quietude, yet accompanied by indolence and love of ea.,c, an inclination to change, in hopes that some favourable circumstance may thence ensue, yet an aversion to personal exertion in our own behalf, an expectation and reliance that fate will do for us that which we are unwil ling to do for ourselves.
