MAGALHAENS, a gentleman connected with the Portuguese Embassy, leaves London this evening for Oporto, and it is understood that the Marquis of PALNIELLA, accompanied by a British naval officer of high rank will em bark in a steamer for the same destination on Friday next. The presence of the Marquis will be a guarantee for the performance of all the promises made by Don PEDRO. The announcement we made in our City article of Monday, of the approaching conclu sion of a treaty of peace (if we may so style a return to our former position) with Holland, has been confirmed by an article in the 7 inzes of this morning, which informs us that the pre liminary treaty was signed yesterday by the Ple nipotentiaries of Great Britain, France, and Hol land. The embargo is to cease,'commerce is tolbe restored to the footing it was on before the siege of Antwerp, the Dutch prisoners are to be dis missed, and the navigation of the Scheldt is to be left free till a definitive arrangement is entered into between Holland and Belgium. We earnestly hope, certainly (remembering the past) not without some misgivings, that this definitive arrangement, so necessary to the pros perity of both countries, may be speedily made. It is said that it was with great difficulty that the King of HOLLAND could be brought to allow his plenipotentiary to sign the treaty in the name of his master, as Duke of Lux- EMBURG, as well as King of HoLLAND; but the point was insisted upon as a sine qua non, and he at length gave way. We perceive, from the House of Commons papers before us, that Mr. CHARLES GRANT brings the Indian question under the conside ration of Parliament on Tuesday, the 11th of June. The form he has adopted is that of re solutions which has the advantage of enabling the House at once to pronounce an opinion upon the several principles of the measure of his Majesty's Government, as propounded in the several resolutions. It will be seen, from our Parliamentary Report, that Lord ALTHORP last night gave notice of his intention to bring the subject of the Bank of England Charter before the House on Friday, the 31st of May. No hints of the nature of the Government plan upon this important subject have yet transpired, nor do we suppose will transpire till the day in question. It would not be difficult to gather from the evidence given before the Committee some par ticulars which would give a clue to the tendency of his Majesty's Government on particular points; but when conjecture must so soon be supplanted by certainty, it would be a useless, as well as a hazardous, and ungrateful task. At three o'clock this morning, a Bill was presented to the House of Commons to c , re duce the stamp duties on advertisements, and on certain sea insurances ; to repeal the stamp duties on receipts for sums under five pounds ; and to exempt insurances on farming stock and imple ments of husbandry from stamp duties." Better late than never. To-night Mr. IfILLIAM BROUGHAM moves the second rending of the General Registry Bill. This Bill was originally brought forward by Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, but on his accession to office he was obliged to give it up to Mr. W. BROUGHAM. He still, however, individually supports it, and so do most, if not all, of the barristers in the House, who take an enlightened view of their own interest, who see that to render law dear is as injurious to them selves as it is unjust to the, public. What is the object of the General Register Bill ? It is to extend to the whole of England and Wales advantages which are now enjoyed, exclu sively, by Yorkshire, Kingston-upon-Hull, and Middlesex, and enjoyed even by them to a very small extent. The most prominent of the benefits which the Bill either directly or indirectly tends to confer upon the public are the raising the value of many hundreds of thou sands of acres of land i❑ every county in the kingdom, putting an end to many of the abuses in conveyancing, cheapening all conveyancing, and finally putting a complete stop to certain species of frauds practised on mortgagees, and all the litigation arising out of those frauds. The classes who have an apparent interest in stopping the removal of these abuses are lawyers, are land-owners who fancy they can jockey capitalists out of more money on mortgage than they would be able to do if their affairs were examined into-- just as they have the folly to imagine that they prevent them getting more than five per cent, by the usury laws,—and finally, the inhabi tants of counties which have local register offices. With respect to the first class of persons, we are happy to say, for the honour of the pro fession that a large section of it is in favour of this Bill. A correspondent, who did us the favour to notice some remarks we before. made upon this Bill, did not deny that the opposition of the country attorneys was grounded upon in terest, but retorted the charge of interested support of the Bill upon the London attorneys. The charge is, however, perfectly groundless. In the first place some few of the London attorneys oppose the Bill on the same grounds that the country attorneys do, viz., that the Bill will cheapen law, and will put an end to those complicated cases of conveyance which now give them their richest harvest. But, on the other hand, many see that the increased security and cheapness of conveyances, will vastly augment their number ; that much pro perty will be transferred with ease, confidence, and profit, which has hitherto been lying dead, as it were, upon its owner's hands, because he could not furnish a marketable title ; in short, that in law, as in everything else, honesty is the best policy, and that ultimately they will profit more by disentangling justice from the abuses which time has woven round it, than by em barrassing its course. We are willing to sup pose that many country practitioners see these general advantages. Why, then, do they op pose the Bill ? Because, they say, it will entail upon them the expense of an agent in London, to examine the register in all cases of transfer of land. What is the fact? If they choose to take the word or assurances of a vendor or a mortgagor as to the state of his property, as they do now, they need not consult the Register-office. They may purchase the land or take the mortgage and send up a copy of the deed to the Register office without the expense even of postage. Of course, if the vendor or mortgagor shall appear by deeds in the Register-office already to have sold his land or mortgaged it to its full value, the first purchaser or mortgagee steps in as he has every right to do. Parties therefore will consult their own interest in searching the Re gister-office, either by means of an agent or by means of the officers of the establishment. It is no hardship to have to pay for the machinery by which they are thus enabled to guard their interests. And after all, the fees which will have to be paid, for the inesti mable advantage of perfect security will be trifling indeed. This argument, therefore, of the provincial practitioners, has no solid founda tion upon which to rest. The fears which the fancies of the country gentleman have conjured up, are too ludicrous to require serious notice. The only objection they have urged worth a straw, viz., the expo sure of their affairs, is completely removed by a provision of the Bill giving the power of in specting the registry to persons only having a direct interest in doing so ; persons who want to buy land, lend money upon it, or who have some other equitable claim to a knowledge of its existing burdens. Any man who wishes to bor row money of another upon the security of his estate, and desires to conceal from him the extent of the iucumbrances already upon it, must be either a fool or a knave. We now come to the opposition given to the Bill by those who oppose it only because they already have the advantage of a local registry. We put it to them whether it be fair in them to endeavour to prevent others from enjoying the same advantages as themselves. We should not be surprised at their simply wishing to preserve their own local registries, but we are surprised at their almost gratuitous selfishness in op posing the Bill in toto. But we really cannot see what great advantages they enjoy at present which they would not equally enjoy under the Bill before us. The few hours' differenc e be tween sending a deed by post to London and sending it from the extremity of either riding of Yorkshire to the local register office, is not worth mentioning. Indeed we should imagine that an inquiry may now be sent from Yorkshire to the register office in London, and an answer be received in a shorter space of time, than is took to send from one end of the west tidily , to the other, when the Act giving it a local register was passed in the reign of ANNE. But besides this strong fact staring hi m in t h e face, the objectors to a Metropolitan Register should remember that two years probably will not pass before Rail-roads will, if not << annihilate ho:h time and space," certainly make the send ing of a message to London, and the receipt of an answer in Yorkshire on the same day, an easy and common transaction. The greater economy of a general metropolitan regis ter over a number of local registers is too obvious to require being dwelt upon. We trust, then, that although the subject be not a very inviting one, although Hon. Members will not have the opportunity of utter ing a few trashy common-places, capped with a piece of Latin, although it is a real and im portant service they have to perform, that they will take the trouble of walking down to the House to-night, and at least pretend to dis charge their duty to their constituents. We have been led to say this from the circumstance of there not having been above a score or two of Members present when Mr. WILLIAM BitouGHAnt, in a most lucid speech, explained the advantages of the Bill. Sir SAMUEL WHALEY's motion for the repeal of the house and window tax was last night defeated by a majority of 273 to 124. This is a strong minority, but not so strong as it ought to have been, and would have been, but for the absence of some scores of Members who have given distinct pledges on this very queltion. We have before alluded to the dis graceful shirking of duty which has been dis played by some pretended Reformers, and again urge upon their constituents to make them re member it on the day of election. In this in stance, however, we have every reason to hope, that their neglect will injure no one but themselves for these taxes, if not removedo,vill certainly next year be equalized. Lord AETHo RP h as a d m i tte d over and over again, and he repeated the admis sion last night, that there were inequalities in the house and window taxes. Let this admis sion be followed up by action, not merely in our assessed but other taxes, and we shall have nothing fairly to complain of. Mr. S. RICE was again put forward to display the useful qua lities of an unblushing front. The total number of houses in England is 2,846,179, of which only 430,607 are charged to the house duty. This proves, says the Honourable Gentle man, that it is preposterous to say, that the tax presses on the working classes. Now the complaint is not that the tax presses on the working classes, but that it is an unfair and a grievous tax as pressing upon one part of the middle classes. We grant that to a consider able extent the tax is paid by the landlord of the house, and that the instance quoted by Mr. RICE of a landlord bargaining to receive 2001. per annum if the assessed taxes were taken, in stead of 1501., is not an uncommon case ; but this very case, and the figures we have quoted above, only prove the just ground on which these taxes are complained of. A man owns a perishable property in a town worth 2001. per annum, and he is taxed at the rate of 251. per cent. Had he been fortunate enough to have invested his money in the same species of property as is possessed by the governing power, he would have escaped upon the payment of a very trifling sum. Besides, it is ridiculous for a Ministry to object to the re peal of a tax because its produce will go into the pocket of houseowners, when they only last week gave up a tax which will avowedly go into the pocket of landowners, we mean the tax on policies on farming stock. We must, we supppose, consider the question of the house and window taxes as settled at present, but their partiality, inequality, and op pressiveness, having been demonstrated to the whole country, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having acknowledged at least their imperfections, we look forward to the certainty of either their entire removal, or such a modifi cation of them as will remove their most objec tionable features.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR desired Carpenter to stand forward and state the reasons why he would not put in his answer. Carpenter stated that he had told the gentleman who was con ducting theplaintiff's case, if he would give him an account of certain bonds, he would do all in his power to put in his answer. He had refused to do so, and had him arrested, by which he had lost his situation, and every prospect in life, and he was at the present moment totally unable, having nothing in the world but what he stood up in, e put in his answer. The VICE-CHANCELLOR asked Carpenter if he would take his oath of that fact ? Carpenter said he would, and His HONOUR ordered a reference to the Master to inquire into the facts of the case and to appoint counsel, and ordered the prisoner, in the mean time, to be remanded. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Their Lordships came into Court at ten minutes to two o'clock. TILE KING V. DONLAN AND LORD TEYNIIAM, Mr. POLLOCK said he was instructed, on the part of Lord Teynham, to apply for a new trial; but as it would be neces sary to have the report of the trial read, and the opinion of the Learned Judge who tried the cause upon it, he hoped their Lordships would name a day when he could move. Their Lordships fixed upon Thursday in next week, and directed that notice to that effect be given to the prosecutor. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of all kinds of Grain this week are moderate, and of Flour pretty good. The trade for Wheat is very dull, and hardly a sale could be effected. In Barley, Beans, and Pease, no alteration. For Oats, the trade remains much the same as reported on Monday. Hour as last reported. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats.

A mail has arrived from Rio Janeiro by the Reindeer, sailed March 27, from Bahia on the Ist of March, and Pernambuco on the 21st of February. The Rio Papers do not contain any news. All was quiet there. The following was posted up at the North and South Arne. rican Coffee-house:— Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, Feb. 14 The taking possession of the Falkland Islands by the British has for some time past engrossed all the attention of the political world here, and our papers will inform you of the anger of this Government upon the subject. Hitherto no marked insult has been offered to our countrymen, but now they evince coolness and distrust towards us. British influence for the present is entirely destroyed here; and the Americans are again getting into favour. There are now at least 5,000 British subjects in the Republic, and a large amount of British property; and I can assure you that considerable alarm at one time existed among our countrymen here, as to the consequence of the pro ceeding at the Falkland Islands, fearing reprisal. It has, how ever, subsided. The captain of the Buenos Ayrean schooner of-war, Sarandi, is to be tried for not resisting the sloop.of-war, Clio, when she came to hoist the British flag at the Falkland Islands. Several Englishmen have been murdered lately in the environs of Buenos Ayres, but these events have no connexion with political matters. They were committed by robbers. A great deal of poverty at present exists here. Specie is getting up ; doubloons are 119 paper dollars each.— Exchange upon London, 7 3-16, The finances are in a most terrible state ; the Government, in the last year, expended two millions of dollars more than they received. We have a report to-day, that Manuel Garcia is coming into office again; also that the Americans threaten to blockade us, if they do not obtain satisfaction on the Falkland Islands' " Port-au-Prince papers have been received to the f.2-ith March, but they do not contain any news. THE FUNDS. In our city article of Monday, we stated, on good authority, that the convention with Holland had been agreed upon, and was to be forwarded to his Dutch Majesty for his ra►t:ncation. Also, that in the course of eight or ten days, we :night expect the embargo to be taken off. The above have been confirmed this morning, and the commerce between this country and Holland, will soon resume its former activity. Up to the present hour, we have no arrivals in the city from the continent. Consols, which left off yesterday at 88, opened this morning 83 g for the Account. At present they may be quoted 88 1 4. In the Foreign trinket Dutch and Belgian Stocks have im. proved• HALF-PAST ONE. We hes: that the Marquis Palmella returns to Oporto this day or to-morrow. It is stated that two hundred thousand pounds have been sent to Don Miguel from this country and France. Great energy is making on the part of Don Pedro's agents for the sailing of the expedition from this country and France, which is to be under the command of a British naval officer of high reputation. It is supposed that it will proceed direct to Lisbon, but we should not be surprised to find the affairs of Portugal settled by negotiation. The accounts from the Imperial Brazil Mines are very favourable, the produce for the last eight days have been 141bs. of gold per day. Consols may be quoted SSI to i for the account. In the Foreign Market all Stocks have improved. This settling day is in Consols; and to all appearance it is a Bull Account—no failures.

The commencement of the Meeting was marked with the most complete success, the sport was plentiful and excellent, the company highly respectable, and the weather favourable in the extreme, and in all the features necessary to constitute a good day's amusement there has been no thing for some years equal to yesterday. The number of horses now at Epsom is little short of one hundred, the entries greater than we have ever known, and the pros pects for the three remaining days are of the most encou raging description. The Grand Stand was patronised by nearly the whole of the Gentry present, and we find on reference to the books that the number of privileged ad missions sold is larger than on any season since its erec• tion ; most of the members of the Jockey Club are sub scribers for the week. We shpuld also notice the accommodations in the refreshment rooms ; they are deserving of praise, not less for their completeness than for the moderate rate of charges. We subjoin a list of the company:— Dukes of Portland and Rutland ; Marquises Exeter, Titchfield, Graham, Conyngbam ; Earls Verulam, Jersey, Wilton, Uxbridge; Countess Wilton, Chesterfield; Lords 11.

Craven, A Berkeley, F. M. Berkeley, R. N. ; Colonels Uilny, Chaplin, Sowerby, Peel ; Sir James Fraser, Sir L. Glyn, Sir. G. and Lady Heathcote ; Messrs. C. Greville, Payne, Hunter, A. Hunter, Byng, Worrell, Stonehewer, J. Mills, Cooks, Holyeake, Sloane Stanley, Cosby, Gardnor, Ricardo, Grant, Delete, Radcliffe, Hawker, &c., &c. The races began at half-past one and did not terminate till six. The following account of the running will show that we have not exaggerated in describing it as of more than ordinary excellence:— The Craven stakes of 10 sous. each, Mile and a quarter (le subscribers).

Hawker continued in front to the corner, where Mr. Ridsda'e's headed him, obtained a lead of nearly two lengths, and kept it to the distance; here Hawker again went in front, Copper Captain, Ambrosio, Vestris, and Ridsdale's close upon his quarters ; although evidently in trouble, he had the best of the concluding struggle, and won by half a length. Ridsdale's was third, and Vestris both well up. Several others were pretty for ward. The pace was good. The Shirley Stakes of 25 sore. each. One mile (4 subs.) Sir G.

SPIRIT OF TM' PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is with the greatest satisfaction that we have to announce that a preliminary treaty was signed yesterday by the plenipotentiaries of Great Bri iain, France, and Holland. By this convention the English and French embargoes will be taken off Dutch vessels in the ports of England and France, and the interruption of their navigation, on the part of the Dutch Government, will be removed. The services of the English and French united squadrons will thus likewise be dispensed with, and the intercourse between the respective parties and Holland placed on the s tine footing as before the French expedition in November last. The Dutch garrison of Ant werp, now prisoners in France, will, by the same arrangement, be sent home. The armistice be tween Holland and Belgium will be continued till the definitive settlement of a permanent sepa ration, and till that time the navigation of the Scheldt will remain free. This convention has been agreed upon with the Dutch plenipo tentiary, and was sent off to Holland for ra tification yesterday. " But," we think that we hear the pretended friends of his Dutch Majesty, though the real enemies of Holland, exclaim, " this is literally nothing. His Dutch Majesty has not accepted the treaty of the 15th of November, 1831, which your English embargo and your French military ex pedition into Belgium were meant to enforce. He starts as free in the race of negotiation as before your measures of violence, and may hold out against all your proposed arrangements in 1833 as sturdily as he did in 1832 and the pre vious year." This would be a proper correction, or a useful caution, if we had said or insinuated that the present arrangement was reported to be final, or was intended to preclude all fur ther negotiation. We have, however, said or in sinuated no such thing. But though we have guarded ourselves, and must guard ourselves, against any expression of con fidence in pacific arrangements, where his Dutch Ma jesty is one of the parties, we can by no means allow that the present convention is unimportant, or that it only replaces things in the same situation in which they stood before the convention of the 22d of October last. In the interval Antwerp has been taken by a bril liant French enterprise, and delivered up to its legitimate owner, in the face of suspecting Europe, with an unflinching good faith that all Europe admired. His Dutch Majesty has thus learned, that when nations are desirous of peace, it requires more than the irritating obstinacy and intriguing policy of one Sovereign of a secondary order to embroil them. He has likewise learned, that in the loss of Antwerp he has been obliged to surrender one of his greatest means of main taining uncertainty or exciting alarm on the frontiers of his rival. The salutary lesson taught by these events has been enforced by the sufferings of the embargo, and the growing dis contents of his own people at the diminution of their trade, or the capture of their shipping. lie has probably likewise become aware that this lesson, ifinsufficient to put him on his good beha viour, might have been carried further. That it has been so already, to a considerable extent, and that it promises to result in a gratifying final change of temper and conduct, will be evident to the most inconsiderate observer of diplomatic tran sactions. After the capture of Antwerp, and even after the return of the French expeditionary army, his Dutch Majesty loudly declared that he would enter into no terms with France and England, either for removing the embargo, for recovering his brave defenders from a captivity in France, or for re-establishing his former amicable relations with his allies. He had been, he declared, treating with the Conference of the tive Powers, and he would not alter his posi tion by renewing his negotiations with two of them separately. It was in vain to say that, these two were only the executors of a treaty agreed to by all, and that he must now begat by making his peace with them, and entering into such engagements as the rest might sanction. This difficulty he has now got over, and we, therefore, think that we are not exposing our selves to any signal disappointment in expecting that a definitive treaty with all the Powers will not much longer be delayed. Let us not, how ever, be too sanguine on a matter, where we have already more than once been deceived. It is expected that the ratifications of the Con vention will be exchanged in the beginning of next week.— Times. The opinion that we entertain of the verdict given by the Calthorpe-street jury was briefly intimated in our journal of yesterday ; but as the decision of any men acting under the sacred obli gation, or what ought to be the sacred obliga tion, of an oath, deserves attention, we resume the matter with painful seriousness to-day. This is the verdict which the jury have obliged the Coroner to record —" Justifiable Homicide, on these grounds ;" and the grounds are then re counted, which are as follow :—" That no Riot Act was read, nor any proclamation advising the people to disperse; that the Government did not take the proper precautions to prevent the meet ing from assembling; and that the conduct of the police was ferocious, brutal, and unprovoked by the people," &c. Now, we will grant for a moment that all these allegations are true, yet is it not obvious to common sense to remark, that the man who murdered Cully (we will say no thing of others who are to be brought to trial) — hut is it not obvious, we ask, to common sense, to remark, that the man who murdered Cully armed himself with an illegal weapon before he knew that no Riot Act would be read ! (even if that were necessary)—before he knew that no proclamation would be made !—before he knew that the Government would not take proper pre cautions to prevent the meeting from assembling! mud before he knew that the police would act ferociously ? Had the murderer killed the policeman with a blow of his fist, or with any weapon accidentally within his reach at the time, something might be said for the finding of the jury; but in the present instance it is clear that he went with intention " prepense" to shed Hood. If the verdict were a lawful one, it riould henceforth be law for the people to go to all their public meetings, as the murderer of they e eullywent, secretly armed wit .t h oNfdvaegthgdeeors jury conclusion so monstrous that it c annot even . he e Ith,r)ee en treat mischief c o o n ent dn e p an nnrlioaot now correct cl tet yhcec : h y sorea i r t : h eseic o det u iedr t rocat unh h t neeo,irrspr the general n o o r t good that on oddo sense of Englishmen will, we trust, in time, re pair that wrong—but for the purpose of unbur dening their consciences. We have said the '• more considerate part of the jury," for there was evidently a great difference of manner and conduct among the members. Some of them acted almost in one breath as jurymen, witness" , S to us no thing in the circum s tances detailed by th e w i t . coroners, and even bysta,n,d_eirisamuen.!!ed,Folorr our selves, utheyr incessantly hallooed out . •Tlves, we repeat that there appears
