It turned out the Tithes Stay of Suits Bill," and the Clergy are again left to ride the people rough shod—again left to prosecute their thousands of obsolete claims. They swim fast, but like a certain animal to which they have been com pared almost in all times (the apostolic form the exception) they cut their own throats in doing so. The Sea Apprenticeship Bill was also thrown out, and perhaps with advantage, for although great abuses of the law of setttlement take place in maritime districts, they are too intimately connected with similar abuses in inland parts to be separately legislated for. The Bills passed were the Bank Charter Bill, the Facto ries Regulation Bill, the Tea Duties Bill, the Chancery Regulation Bill, and the Exchequer Bills Bill. Lord WARWICK adventured last night, in the House of Lords, some bold and injudicious assertions, the truth of which time and facts will determine. His Lordship abjured all personal knowledge of, or connection with, the corrupt practices of the Warwick election. He further indiscreetly and strangely stated that he design edly left Warwick Castle at the period of the contest, and to his great personal inconvenience remained away after the election ! Verily his Lordship appears sagaciously to have foreseen the " excitement " he represents himself unwil ling to promote by his personal presence ; and it is a pity that his Lordship did not take with him his steward, BROWN, his banker, Mr. GREENWAY, and his veritable town clerk, TIBBITTS. Lord WARWICK admits that he authorised the payment of the " legal ex penses" (the usual convenient phrase) of Sir CHARLES GREVILLE ; but his Lord- ship forgets that the sum transferred— upwards of three thousand pounds—is enor mously disproportionate to the amount of the "legal expenses." Further, the Noble Earl purposely omits any " explanation of his re markable ignorance of the acts of his steward, BROWN, and his town clerk, TIBBITTS. Can any one suppose that those two individuals dared to deal with Lord WARWICK'S money and lands, not only without his approbation, but without his knowledge ! There are a well known class in the metropolis called " putters up," a class distinct from the " cracksinen." The evidence will be the test of Lord WAR WICK'S made up explanation ; and the Re formed House of Commons will, doubtless, deal with this scandalous case of election corruption as it deserves, and not allow the real offenders to be saved by the sacrifice of the smaller sinners. The Earl of WARWICK, in the mean while, may rest assured that he cannot humbug the country—that his trial has not yet commenced, though his deceivers may flatter him that it is terminated. His most manly and politic course will be, forthwith, to resign his Lord-Lieutenancy, for the majority of the Members of a Reformed House of Commons will never stultify their own proceedings by re maining satisfied with what one of our contem poraries terms " a cock and bull" explanation. On the publication of the Commons' evidence, we shall put Lord WARWICK on his trial before the bar of public opinion ; we shall soon discover for whom—by whose means—and under what mask of corruption, the Electors of the Borough of Warwick have been thus shamefully degraded and oppressed. In the month of April last a Committee of the House of Commons was appointed to in quire into the state of the Police of the metro polis within the metropolitan district, and the state of crime therein. We were in hopes, from the early period of the Session at which the Committee was appointed, that we should, by this time, have had to congratulate ourselves upon the prospect of a revision of our system of police, and of criminal punishments. From various causes, however, the inquiries of the Committee have been so impeded that it has been obliged to make a report, in which nothing is reported. The Committee ex- presses its hope of being re-appointed next ses sion, and of then bringing its inquiries to a close. The report states that the Committee will, next session, apply themselves, in the first instance, to an examination of the expense of the present police force. The Committee appears to have had evidence before it upon the subject of improving the administration o f the laws within the metropolis, and the esta blishment therein, " of a plan of police which shall be exempt from the inconvenience which at present results from the independent and uncon nected action of the several Police-offices and the other Police establishments." This is a subject, the importance of which can hardly be exaggerated. It is one, too, we are happy to say, ale public in general feel the necessity of having inquired into. The popularity of the work entitled " Old Bailey Experience," which the pressure of Parliamentary and other tempo rary matter has prevented us hitherto doing jus tice to, is a strong proof of this fact. We have hopes, therefore, that the labours of the Com mittee next Session will be productive of good fruit, and not merely of a barren report, to be added to the dusty piles of proceedings of Com mittees which cumber the records of the House— records which might afford as fit a flooring for the lobby as good intentions afford a fit pave ment for hell. The Paris Papers of Sunday state that a representation, signed by five Marshals of France, was about to be addressed to Govern ment against Count BOURNIONT'S right to be styled a French Marshal, he having refused to take the oath of allegiance, as such, to Louis PHI LIPPE. The Cour Royale had given judgment in the case of the Bank of France, and Messrs. PEREGAUX and LAFITTE, which set aside the decision of the Tribunal of Commerce, which was in favour of the Bank. Under the head " German Papers," our readers will find an official document of con siderable importance, in which the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh formally proclaims its right to govern Poland, as it shall think fit, without reference to the Treaty of Vienna, which, however, it maintains has not, in the slightest degree, been infringed on. The pro cess of logic by which this last argument is supported, is curious, and illustrates, in a most edifying manner, the spirit of finesse and Jesuitism for which the Russian Cabinet has always been so remarkable. But not only will NICHOLAS legislate for Poland, after his own peculiar fashion—that is to sly, by fine, confis cation, imprisonment, exile and massacre—but he will allow of not the slightest interference on the part of the other European powers. On this point the document, though with marked courtesy, expresses itself in the most unequivocal and decided terms. In another part of The Sun will be found an article which we have copied from the Herald of this morning, and in which our cotemporary boasts with peculiar self-complacency of the ex clusive character of his late foreign intelligence. This self-complacency would he more in ac cordance with good taste, were it grounded upon a solid foundation. But such, unfortu nately, is not always the case. For instance, in The Sun and Times (nay, even in the Herald itself) as well as the other daily Journals of Monday, the 19th, appeared some account of the offensive and defensive alliance which Russia had concluded with the Porte for the space of eight years, which account was extracted from the Allge meine Zeitung of the 12th. Now, our worthy cotemporary, with a natural desire to set out his exclusive" wares to the best advantage, boasted—on Wednesday the 21st, just three days after the information had become common property—a theme for general discourse—that it had gained exclusive possession of the above ac count, and accordingly published it with suitable pomp, and much sounding of trumpets on that day ! To be sure, a long letter from " Our Foreign Correspondent," in which, inter alia, the particulars of the Russian and Turkish alli ance were enumerated and commented on, did appear in the Herald on Wednesday, the 21st; but all the leading points of the treaty were pub lished (as we before said) in all the daily jour nals of Monday, the 19th. We should scarcely have alluded to this circumstance, were not " the exclusive character" of his foreign intelligence the theme of our worthy cotemporary's constant pane gyric. He is a sort of newspaper Narcissus, deeply smitten with love of his own " exclusive at tractions, and it is but just and proper that his well-wishers should do their best to mode rate his inoffensive, but misguided self com placency. SUN OFFICE, Halfipast Three. We have this instant received an express from Falmouth, bringing news from Lisbon dated 17th August, that Lord RUSSELL has presented his credentials as English Minister to the Court of DONNA MARIA. Further particulars will be given in our se cond edition. Great interest, it is said, is making to obtain the new appointments of Magistrates in the West India Islands ; though the smallness of the salaries (3001. a year) does not seem to hold out any very tempting allurement. FRAME-WORK KNITTING.—The workmen engaged in the glove trade waited upon their employers on Monday to solicit an advance of wages, which was agreed to.—Northampton Free Press. The trade of the country is in a generally good state ; but there are symptoms of an undue exten sion of the circulating medium. The first of these symptoms is the rise in prices, and the extraordi nary spirit of speculation to which we have before adverted, and which are now attracting roach atten tion from the London papers. And another symptom of an excessive, and therefore depreciated currency, is the fall of the exchanges, which are now so much against us that coin and bullion are flowing out of the country in a rapid stream. Not less than half a million ounces of gold and silver have been entered for exporta tion within the present month. The Bank of England, if it acts on its avowed principle, must correct this evil, by contracting its issues. If it does so, prices will fall. It behoves mercantile men, therefore, to be on their guard, and not give way to the mania which is now raging in the Liverpool cotton market and the London markets for colonid produce.—Leeds Mercury. FAMILY QUARRELS.—The Rev. W. S. happened to call at a certain house, near to where he had been brought up (at some distance from his present resi dence,) when the man and his wife had just got to the climax of a severe difference. "Oh !" says the husband, " if it were not for this stranger, I would have made a pretty example of thee ;" too plainly indicating an inten tion of inflicting bodily chastisement upon his wife, when the Reverend humourist, very jocosely, but at the same time with his usual seriousness, observed—" I beg you will malts no STRANGER of me."—Kendal Chronicle.

The vast range of research displayed in this work, which must have been the result of years of painful toil, and patient, unwearied study, entitle it to the praise of every gentleman in the kingdom. A more perspicuous, comprehensive, in fact, a more complete production of the sort, it never yet fell to our lot to witness. "In it," says Hr. Burke in his preface, " will be found the lineage of nearly four hundred families, en joying in the aggregate, probably a revenue of two millions sterling, and deriving, many of them, their territorial possessions from William of Normandy ; invested, however, with no exclusive rank, designated by no exclusive title, and born to no exclusive privilege." These few facts are quite sufficient to prove the arduous character of the work, whose author, in the instance of such families as we have been just alluding to, must have been put ting to sea on his voyage of discovery without rudder, chart, or compass—with nothing, in fact, but his own tact, shrewdness, and perseverance to guide him. The minuteness of the genea logical details are therefore, all things considered, most astonishing. We should not omit to add, that a copious index—itself a work of no little labour—is appended to the volume, together with an admirable portrait—admirable alike as a resemblance, and a work of art—of the first Commoner in England, the Speaker of the House of Commons. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND entertained a select party at dinner on Sunday, at their residence at Kew.

The match for the elegant cup presented by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent terminated on Friday evening, at seven P.m., in favour of the Fanny, 75 tons, J. Micklam, Esq. The .Albatros was the favourite vessel at starting, but unfortunately, owing to the strong gale, she sprung her mast, and was therefore obliged to give up the contest. The Gossamer also, from the same cause, met with an accident. The match for the Ladies' Cup, value 50/., took place yesterday morning. The following yachter started Vampire, Rev. D. George ; Zephyr, Mr. Beaumont ; Union, Mr. De Horsey ; Will o' the lVisp, Mr. Robin son ; Matilda, Mr. Tollemache ; Druid, Mr. Congreve ; Turk, Captain Kean. This match afforded very little sport, there being no wind. The same course and regula tions were adhered to as those laid down (or the Duchess of Kent's cup. The Vampyre, however, was fortunate enough to obtain the advantage of a partial breeze, by which she was enabled to outsail her competitors, and ultimately carried off the prize. One of the most interesting matches, however, was be tween two small vessels, the Sylph of the Thames Yacht Club, and the Ratipole cutter of this port. Their course was from Cowes Castle to the Nab Light. On reaching the starting vessel there was not more than a minutt,'s dif ference, and the prize was won by the Ratipolc. The Falcon, Water Witch, Louisa, and Coquette, exhibited a magnificent pyrotechnic display from their moorings off Norris Castle on Friday evening, after the termination of the match for tlat Duchess of Kent's cup. Her Royal Highness entertained ►' e Commodore, Vice- Commodore, the Earl anti Countes7 of Durham, Lady F. Lambton, and a select party, at dinner on that night. The Duchess of Northumberland, and Miss Percy, daughter of ihe Bishop of Carlisle, leave on Tuesday for Sion Muse, after a sojourn here of six weeks, and thence they proceed, on the 2d of September, to join the Duke at Alnwick. Extensive preparations are making for the Royal Fete at St. Lawrence to-morrow. QUEEN'S THEATRE.—Last night a new drama from the pen of J. GRATTAN, Eq., called the Corsair's Revenge, was produced for the first time at this theatre. Mr. FREER personated the pirate with grea t ability, and the acting of Mrs. g ELBY, as the Corsair's bride, elicited great applause. The piece is full of interest, and was well received by an overflowing audience. We understand that M. VILLIERS, our new Representative at the Court of Spain, takes his departure for Madrid in the middle of the week. •• ----• RESISTANCE TO - CHURCH RATES.—The rate-payers of Christ Church, Surrey, continue immov able in their refusal to make a church rate, and to show that their opposition is not extended to the churchwardens, the vestry clerk, or the beadles, they have resolved in vestry to repay to the churchwardens, out of the poor rates, the sum of 431. 31. 6d. paid by them to the vestry clerk and the beadles, as their salaries from Easter last, which sum the vestry bad disallowed in the churchardens' account, such payment having been made out of the church -rate. Upon the receipt of this sum from the overseers, the churchwardens issued a notice to the pa rishioners, congratulating them that they are thereby en abled to meet the expenses of the church for a few months longer than the date they mentioned in their previous notice, when, for want of funds, the service of the church roust cease. Surely this is another striking instance of the increasin g unpopularity of compulsory payments for the support of the Established Church. Great Malvern has rarely had to boast of so brilliant a season as the present year. The visitors are not only numerous, but of the highest rank. Sir HENRI fIA HDINGE, Lord DARTMOUTH, Lord ENCOMHE, Sir ROBERT PEEL, an d M r . D AWSON are a mongst the latest arrivals; and we hear that the Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord ELLENAIOROUGH are expected in a few days. There is also much distinguished company at the Wtlle.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. Sydney papers to the 28th March have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Colonial Times.) The only market which we have been in the habit of looking to for the sale of our wheat is Sydney ; and we find from the last papers, up to the 7th February, that instead of there being the slightest inducement to export wheat to Sydney, the best wheat, 601 b. to the bushel, is sold for 4s. ; second quality, 3s. 4d. ; bailey, 2t. 10d. ; the best flour, 1 Is. the cwt., whilst our millers are charging 15s. We have no wish to distress the spirits of our settlers, but we do not wish them to be misled, and we prefer stating things as they are. We have received a file of New South Wales papers to the sth May. They do not contain any news of moment, excepting the establishing the new institution, the Australian College. The Colonial office at home has lent a judicious encouragement to this laudable undertaking,ordering 3,500/. to be advanced from the Colonial Treasury of New South Wales, as a loan towards the building, on condition that a similar amount of 3,5001., supposed necessary to com plete it, shall be advanced by the Colonists themselves. This latter sum hea been raised by shares. THE FUNDS. Much surprise still prevails in the city that the African steamer has not as yet arrived from Portugal, or any other ve.sel from that quarter, which causes great anxiety to the merchants and speculators in the interim. Many re ports are put into circulation, such as great difference existing between Don Pedro and the English Government. At present we have no official information to form a judg ment on the present state of affairs in that country ; hut the Portuguese Scrip is going down, and done at 174, premium. Consols opened at 88k to 4 for account, with a heavy market. HALF-PAST ONE. In respect to arrivals or news we have none to the present hour. Although all descriptions of Funds are exceedingly heavy, but more particularly Portuguese Scrip and old Portuguese Bonds, the former has been done at 15 prem., and the latter ban receded about 4 per cent., 78 to 80. This sudden depression is attributed by some to a large Account having been sold out, at which the public have taken the alarm. Consols are also on the decline, and may be quoted 87i to 88 for the Account. To-morrow being settling day in the British Market, they are busy making up their accounts. It is reported that some disturbances have taken place at Rio de Janeiro. HALF-PAST TWO. We have this moment a strong report that the African steamer has arrived, bringing an account of a battle, in which Bourmont has been killed ; ii. consequence of which, Portuguese Sciip has got up from 16 to 20 premium.

Allen," and " Cameron v. Mackey." RAMSAY v. NAIRNE. (From the Scotsman.) We have elsewhere given a brief report of this CaSP, which consisted chiefly of two speeches, one eight hours long, and one four. Conscious of the imperfection of this report, it is due to our readers to state in plain terms what it was about, and what the result is. It was an action instituted by Lady Ramsay to receive 12,0001. of damages from Mr. James N iirne, W.S., fir def.amation ; the defamation consisting in the d. fender's having en no less than 17 different occasions, stated that her Ladyship had been guilty of conjugal infidelity. The defene,e against this was, that Mr. Nairne, personally, bad never stated, or thought anything about her Lady ship ; but that, having been the agent of her husband, the late Sir Thomas Ramsay, he had merely been the profes sional organ of conveying his sentiments. The issues con. sisted of a selection of 17 occasions, on which it w,is said, that the defender had, verbally, or in writing, stated the offensive cbarge. Of these issues, 15 were common charges of defamation; but two were of a more serious character; for they set forth, that the defender had, for interested purposes, induced a client, rendered incapable by age and disease of judging for himself, to insert a recital into two deeds, by which he left behind him, and so pub lisf-ied, a declaration that he believed his wife to have b-en faithless. The result is, that the Jury, under the direction of the Court, found a verdict for the defender upon eleven of the. issues, and for the pursuer upon six, with 2001. of da mages. If this mere result were stated, the public m , ght he misled by supposing that the pursuer had been incor rect in point of character in the eleven issues which were lost by her, and that the defender had been incorrect in the six which were lost by him. It is, therefore, necessary to explain how the matter stands. And it seems to us, judging merely from the trial , to stand thus : 1. Every shadow of imputation against Lady Ramsay was signally refuted. She exploded every pretence or insinuation against her, by the testimony of persons of the highest character; and went on with this evidence till at last it appeared to us to be put an end to, because its very superfluity, and unquestioned conclusiveness, rendered any addition to it unnecessary and wearisome. Indeed, the mere fact that the defender had taken no issue under which he could impeach her character, gave her, in the defender himself, the best of all witnesses in her favour ; in addition to which his counsel stated openly in the Court, that his client had not only no doubt of her inno cence, but was anxious that the Jury should make that declaration of it they afterwards did. 2. Mr. Nairne, in point of character, passed through the fire equally pure. The only issues that affected his reputation were the two which charged him with the strange and horrid iniquity of inducing his incapable client, in dying, to leave a posthumous admiss'on of his own dishonour, by charging his wife with infidelity, and this fur interested purposes. All the rest of the case, in so far as he was concerned, was insignificant. Now this unprecedented accusation was refuted, and in the most honourable of all possible ways. The pursuer did not even attempt to prove it; the defender's counsel seemed to us to laugh at it ; the Court directed against it ; and the Jury decided against it. B. These two things being disposed of, all that re mained was immaterial. It degenerated into alleged, common defamation, and the result was, that both par. ties were found partly wrong, and both partly right. The pursuer was found wrong on some of her charges, partly because not even an attempt was made to prove them, and partly because, when the defender had stated any thing about her, be had done so professionally, as the organ of his client. And the defender was found wrong on some of his, because, though acting profes sionally, he had exceeded the exact professional line. But the Lord President stated expressly in his charge, " that he had done so solely from excessive zeal in his client's cause." There was some technical }Jiggling, which we did not understand about the form of producing an opinion of counsel ; but it seemed to be perfectly understood, that on the two steps which were most strongly urged against Mr. Nairne, he had acted by the highest profes sional advice ; and that counsel of the first character had sanctioned and recommended the exact proceedings that he adopted, and the very words that he used. However, as the Greeks are punished for all the decli nations of their kings, so agents, it seems, suffer for the supposed errors of their counsel, and AIN Nairne has to pay 2001. Our impression, on considering the whole affair, is, that it has turned out like the mouse and the mountain. Both parties have been found spotless in reputation ; and eur feeling, during two thirds of the trial, was, that the other third was quite sufficient is have settled the case. A peculiar kind of complaint, probably con nected with atmospherical impurities, is now very preva lent at Scilly. In no case has it proved fatal, but its visitations are accompanied with feverish symptoms, a dry cough, and a general lassitude or prostration of strength. Its duration is generally about three weeks.-- West Briton. THE OLDEN TIM E.—In cases of large fortune and great connexions, marriaees wena often con. tracted before the persons so disposed of could have any opinion or choice in the matter. Lady Arlington's only child, Lady Isabella Bennett, was formally married to the Duke of Grafton (son of Charles 11., by the Duchess of Cleveland), when she was only five and he only eight years old. The Archbishop of Canterbury performed the ceremony, and the King and all the Court were present. This wedding must have been merely meant as a sort of fete for the amusement of the King ; as it was thought proper to remarry them when she was twelve and lie fifteen years old ! Died on Friday last, in the King's Bench prison, at No. 47, Edmund Clavering, Eq., of CalveHy Park, in Northumberland, formerly belonging to the firm of Wright and Co., bankers, Henrietta -street, Covent garden. A few days before his death he was seized with cholera, and was so much reduced by the disease as to have added another victim to the dreadful malady. It may be of public benefit to add, that a complete evacuation of the contents of the stomach, on the first attack of cholera, and the excitement of a profuse sad immediate petsoira_ tion, have, is numerous instances, proved most successful. MOST AFFECTING CIRCUMSTANCE.--. Yesterday a funeral took place under most effecting circumstances, in Bunhill-Gelds. About two week, since one of the daughters of the Rev. Mr. Pearcy was seized with the typhus fever, and after suffering great pain for ten or twelve days, and being reduced to a state of great weakness she expired. On the afflicted father going to announce the melancholy event to another daught , r, residing some miles distant, he found her suffering under the ravages of cholera, of which disease she died the same evening. The youngest was 21 years of age; the other 31. The latter was married, and has left two children to mourn their loss. Both were distinguished for theix acquirements in sacred music. Yesterday they wer.,.b,, t h interred in the same grave, and, at the same titn , :, the Rev. Mr. Fletcher, of Finsbury chapel, on the co fins being put into the grave, delivered one of the most eloquent and impressive addresses we ever heard. to the bereaved parents. Hundreds of strangers shed tears in abundance while the Rev. Gentleman so feelingly adverted to the solemn dis pensation of Providence which had called them together. It is a singular circumstance, that 30 years ago two of Mr. Pearcy's children died and were buried on the same day, and in the same place. SUPPOSED MURDER.—On Sabbath morn+ ing knee Kelly, seaman, originally from the Isle of Mn,7 was apprehended in Dundee, on a charge of having murdered his wife, Janet Mitchell, a native of the parish of Inverkeillor. The parties have resided some t;.rne in the Hawkhill ; the woman, at the time of her marriage to Kelly, about a year and a half since, was the widow of a weaver named Webster, belonging to the village of Lochie, to whom she had three children. She bad no l t l be tfe c l r otc e t) ; n a n ta t e children to Kelly. The body of the woman w,e, ex amined of by medical men in the oourse of Sunday and Kelly was committed to prison at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
