They I nd, kg tt at the measures intro r the pacification of Ireland, i which they believed were uncalled for and unnecessary. They submitted whether it would not he more wise and ins , to that loyal and much abused nation, to try what remedial measures would do, before going on wi , b a Bil , of this kind without inquiry. The petitioners implore,' the H.,use to cons'cler the state of Ireland, and to attempt to relieve that country from a system of tithes unparallele , in the world.—(Hear, be.tr.) They also prayed th , House to reject the Bill for chancing the venue it, Ireland, both of which measures, they considered, would have the effect of destroying all confidence between the two countries. The [lon. Gentleman also presented a petition, numerously signed, from Boston, and hegved to call the attetition of Ministers to the first signatnr to the petition, which was that of a gentleman of the largt st property in the neiglitoiurhood of the town. It was the signature of a gentleman who enjoyed an income of about 6,0001. a year—a man not ver , likely to he led astray by the political demagogues It was also signed by the vicar and the churchwardens of the town. They expressed the satisfaction with which they had heard of the Church Reform introduced by Govern ment, but stated they had scarcely been able to offer their meed of prise to the framers of the measure when they were horror struck by the introduction of a tneasur- more tyrannical than any ever before introduced by a British Statesman. They implored the House not to pass he Bill, which had for its object, not the conciliation of Ire• land, but the subjugation of that country. The next pe tition he had to present was from the inhabitants of the borough of Derby, signed by upwards of 3.000 persons. The petition was very long, and expressed the great indigna tion of the petitioners, reprobat'ng in the strongest possible terms the conduct of his Mdjesty's Ministers in bringing in such a Bill before a Re'ormed House of Parliament. It stated that Bills something like the present had been in troduced on former occasions into Parliament, and had then met with the just indignation of the very individuals Nvlio brought forward this Bill. They expressed themselves acquainted with the reason of it, and entreated the House to reject the proposed mea sure with indignation and scorn. Mr. CAVENDISH said it was true that the Derby petition was signed by, as he understood, 3,500 indivi duals, but as its contents did not accord with his feelings, he regretted to say he could not support the prayer of it. An Hose. MEMBER (as we understood the colleague of Mr. Wilkes,) said that he concurred entirely with part of the statements made in the petiti& that had just been presented. The petitioners said there were causes, and indeed individuals of all descriptions ever thought Ireland admitted that there were causes for some extraordinary measure. That the cause of the grievances or disturbances was the tithe law, he entirely agreed. He had given his support to the first reading of this Bill, and he proposed to support it through a second reading, considering that Ireland was in that state which rendered it impossible for him to refuse his sup port to this or any other measure that might he pro pounded to overcome the tyranny that prevailed at present in Ireland. There was, however, in this Bill that which he felt an invincible objection.—(Hear, hear.) If the Bill should be altered in Committee so as to enable him finally to give his support to it, it would afford him the greatest possible satisfaction. He con ceived that the best interests of the country were intimately connected with the present members , •f the Government continuing in office ; but to pre vent persons from petitioning Parliament—(Hear, hear) — to suffer individuals to be imprisoned by irresponsible per sons—(Haar, hear)—he would not entrust the power to any man, or any set of men, to act in this wdy, with a view to put down any tyranny whatever.—(Hear, hear.) , . Mr. O'CONNELL would not have said a: word if the Hon. Gentleman had not said that all sets of men in Ire land agreed to there being a cause. Ti.e HON. GENTLEMAN explained. Mr. O'CONNELL said that no man could deny there had been committed in Ireland for the last sixty years outrages of the most distressing nature; but wherever the law had been put into active execution, those outrages had been speedily overcome. The assizes in Leland were now going on, and he had just received Mr. Justice Collin's report front 'Waterford, who declared that the law was strong enough if only put into execution. Instead of putting the law as it at present stood into exe cution, having tried a special commission in Queen's County last year, and in that way put down the disturb ances, they had never tried one since, but had continued the tithe war from parish to parish, thereby provoking and inciting to outrage. Was it not cruel, then, under such circumstances, that English gentlemen of liberal principles aed honest judgments should allow them selves to be carried away upon the anonymous con. rents of a red box, and repeated assei tions in leo tiers, the names to which no person knew ? He trusted the House would give the opportunity of going into an inquiry on the subject. The law had been found strong enough to vindicate the horrible mur•rer that had been committed at NV tr. turd ; a trial bad taken place—three persons had been capitally convicted, and two of them ez - ecuted ; one of them had declared his innocence to the last moment. He acknowledg , -d that for other of fencts committed by him he ought justly to die, hut tat f murder imputed to him he ~a 8 pet f ctly inn cent. Af.ei wards one of tho•e who remained unexceuted ev thank. d the Jury for convicting him, acknowledgi d that he was the sole actor in the dreadful of fence, and tiat the other two culprits were perfectly innocent. He was executed. and the one rein , ining is to have a tree pardon by his M.jesty. T , is then. showed that, if even with all the pr.ctutions which the law gave, administered by its most experienced Judges, mis takes, and serious mistakes were occasionally c ,, nimitted, how impirtant it was that the ailininistr.tion of the law should not be taken out of the hands of these Judges, that the trial by jury should not be dispensed with, and that the liberties of the people should be put into the hands if a few young tificerb. Let the Bill only linger in the HIM, till the assizes wer- over, and every pretext for taking away trial by jury, for suppressing the liberty of the press, and handing over men, women, and children into a common dungeon, would be exploded. This showed, to a most melancholy extent, the necessity of a dissolution of the Union. Lord ALTIIORP said tie ohj , ct of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman seemed to be to repeat on the present occasion all that be had said on the first reading of the Bill. Mr. SHELL said that the example had been set by the Hon. Gentleman, who had pi eceded the Hon. sad Learned Gentleman, hut upon which no observation was made by the Noble Lotd. Mr. RONAYNE presented a petition from Cionmel, signed by upwards of 2,000 persons, against the Coercive Bill. The petitioners called upon the House to legislate fur Ireland, if they deemed it part of the British Empire, with the s ,me spirit of impartial justice that they did for England. The petitioners also asserted, most peremp torily, that the county of Tipperary was never more tranquil than at the present moment, even when crime io Ireland was at its greatest height.—(Hear.) For the truth of that statement, they appealed to the high-minded Nobleman who was the Lord-Lieutenant of the county. The Hon. Member could not but lament that Govern ment had not obtained its information from such sources, instead of from those parties who had given them informa tion. The petitioners also stated, that the Catholic Jurors of the county had attended the Clontnel assizes in great numbers, notwithstanding the insults they had received both front solicitors and counsel. The petitioners reminded the House that they were free born men, enti tled to their just rights, and ready at all hazards to main tam them inviolate. The petitioners concluded by pray. ing the House not to sanction the present iniquitous Bill. The Hun. Member preserved a similar petition from a parish in Limerick, in which the petitioners stated that they had read, with feelings of surprise and alarm, the introduction of measures for the coercion of Ireland —(Heir, hear, heir)—which they considered altogether unnecessary, unwarranted, impolitic, and introduced for the purpose of preventing the people meeting to discuss their grievances, and thereby totally annihilating the right to petition. The petitioners implored the House to protect their rights and liberties, and to oppose every measure that would expose them to the frightful horrors of military tribunals.—(Hear, hear.) Also, another from Ardargh, in The county of Cork, in which it was asserted that us far as the petitioners were concerned, there existed no pretence for depriving them of the protection of the laws. The dreadful effects which might follow the overturning of all law would be made apparent by the statement of an anecdote which would show the let ling of the yeomanry upon this subject. On a late occasion, when a corps of yeomanry were out and enjoying themselves in a way, perhaps, the greater part of its members had not been accustomed to, this toast was proposed :—" If this he war, may we never have peace." Whilst such a feeling as this pi e vailed amongst those at whose mercy the peasantry would be placed, it would be evidently most dangerous, as well as tyrannical and unjust, to pass a Bill of this kind. Colonel WILLIAMS presented two similar petitions from the hundred of Moseley and from S , ayly-bridge, both in the parish of Ashton-under-Line. The petitio ners regretted the introduction of the Coercive Bill, as being founded neither in necessity, justice, nor humanity, but as subversive of every fundamental principle of free govern ment. In his (Col. W.'s) opinion, the power given in this Bill ought to be intrusted to no Ministry. He did not mean to say that he thought his Majesty's present Gr_ vertanent would wish to abuse this power, but other Gc. vernments might ,•ucceed them who would be willing to take advantage of this Bill as a precedent for the oppression )1 the people of England It was principaby on this iund that be objected to the severe measure now before t h e House. Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL said that he had to pre-ent petitions, from different parts of Queen's County a!ainst the Rill, but would not follow the example that had been set him by some Hon. Members, of reading tam at length. He begged, however, to call the attention of the House to two facts mention.. e I in them. The first re ition, from Kil'abin, stated, that a though a part of Queen's County had been disturbed, yet that since the special commissions had been tent into it, perfect security had prevailed. The st.e nn d petition from Ragheen stated that there had been no lack of jurors at the lat.! as.dzes. These petitions, therefore, vent a consid , rahle way to diTrove the statement of the Right Hon. Secretary opposite, as to the inefficiency of the special commis-ions, and the want of jurors. H e had also a third o etition from his constitut nts at Tralee, rating their abhorrence at this Bill, and the evils to which it would lead. Mr. LALOR declared that the a , sertion in the petition from Queen's County he knew to he a fact ; for during t , e last six months there had not been a single breach of the law connected with the Whitefeet system. The petitions were ordered to lie on the table. Mr. GILLON presented a petition from certain united parishes in Lisburne on the same subject. The petitioners represented the injustice of the Bill now before the House ; they stated that that part of Ireland was as peaceable as any other part of the United Kingdom, and they viewed with astonishment the assertion of Earl Grey respecting the state of the county of Tipperary, which they declared was perfectly tranquil. The next petition was from certain members of the Bradshaw Pslitical Union, who stated that they viewed the introduction of the Bill with awful consternatio❑ and unqualified regret. The Hon. Member said he bad a great number of petitions from his native county against the Bill. The first was from his own constituents in the borough of Lanaik, who stated that they viewed with great alarm the introduction of a mea sure which was to set aside the constitutional Government of Ireland, and to substitute in its stead military despotism. They perceived in that measure astrong desire to stifle the expressions of the people—they wanted words to express their abhorrence and detestation of it, and they considered it as wa , 2,ing war against the liberties of the people. They were convinced that if those powers were granted, it would only be a prelude to a similar measure in this country.—(Hear, hear.) They therefore prayed the House to reject with scorn and indignat on any attempt to make the House a party to so gross a measure, and they hoped that measures would speedily be introduced to remove all the grievances that oppressed Ireland.— (Hear, hear, hear.) He had also four petitions of a similar nature, all praying for the rejection of the Bill, and declaring the belief of the petitioners that tran quillity would not be restored in Ireland until the Esta blished Church of that country was done away with, and the oppressive tithe system extinguished.—(Hear, hear.) In that opinion he most cordially concurred. The first was from 669 of his constituents in the borough of Ha milton. The next was from the inhabitants of a place (the name of which we could not learn); in the county of Fife; from the inhabitants of Cupar, in Fife, praying for the removal of the Church Establishment in Ireland ; and from the Political Union of Leslie, in Fife. In the ab- sense of his Hon. Friend (the Member for Dundee) he had to present several other petitions. That from the in habitants of Aberdeen, prayed the House not to impose on so many millions of their fellow-subjects a system of military despotism. Also a petition from Leith ; from the borough of Anstruther, in the county of Fife, and from the Royal burgh of Renfrew, which was for merly the most corrupt of all the Scotch boroughs. The n•xt was the most important pe .t on, and was signed by 3,728 respect ,t,le inhabitants of Greenock. The petitioners viewed with horror and alarm the arbitrary and unconstitutional mea-ures now adopting towards Ire land, and they prayed that measnres of an ameliorating kind might be speedily introduced. They besought the House at once to reject the Bill now before them, and to pass humane and selutary laws as a means of promoting peace and good order in Ireland ars) Having presented so many petitions against that Bill from his native country, he would only say it was now proved, that Ireland had many friends among a people who bad worked out their own religious freedom by the sword. Those friends about them were especially among the Dis senters of Scotland, who had a fellow•feeling with them, and thought they ouget to h • relieved from that heavy tax witiiwhich theya eresaddled for thesupport of an aristocr tic priesthood. Their opposition to this measure was mai k.-d by the pro It nce usually attributed to the natives of that coun try. Taey opposed it bec:.use t! ey iiid rot know how soon the case might be their own. They did not say that the present Ministry would at all attempt to pass such a measure either for Scotland or England, Inv it was impos sible to say how soon another Ministry might come in, and if the country were to show any opposition to these measures, they m ight cite this Bill as a precedent, for putting down Government mili!aly law meetings, assern bied far the purpose of petitioning that House. He was o opinion that th, extensive funds that wt now appro d to the Church, and which were almost useless, I might he most profitably employed in teaching the people, and in feeding them. An Hors. MxMBEa said that he rose to support the prayer of the pets ions, particularly of those from Ren frew and Gr. enock. The latter place, it was to be re wembered, was the largtst seaport in Scotland. anti upwards of 4,000 of its inhabitants had signed the petition, who were a religious and moral class of people. He confessed that wt en be was returned by his constituents as a Member of that House, they did exp. et that he would give his support to his Majesty's Ministers, but he had since that period found it to be his duty to oppose them, first upon the ad dres-,, then rel ,tive to sinecures, and lastly upon the pre sent Bill, and, at a meeting which had taken place, his constituents had publicly returned him their thanks for the course he had taken. _ Anoth.r HoN. Mx=Eit rhnied that the generality of the Scotch p. were io favour of the present Bill. Mr. A. .0 hINSTONE said that he could not concur with the prayer of the petitions, and he trusted that when an cpportunity offered hits of corning b fore his consti tuents again he should be able to satisfy them with respect to the course he had adopted in supporting Ministers in carrying forward a measure fur the coercion of Ireland. Coptain DUNLOP presented a petition from the Political Union of Kilmarnock against the Bill, signed by upwards of 840 persona, to whose respectability the Hon. Member tore testimony. Mr. ROCHE presented a petitio❑ from the parish of St. John's, Limerick, against the Bill. The petitioners de ►uanded inquiries, satisfied that Government would not be able to prove that Ireland was in such a state as to re quire such a Pleasure as that introduced by his Majesty's Ministers. The Honourable Member stated that the South of Ireland had never been in such a state of quietude as it wa. at present.—(Hear, hear.) Tice next petition he had to present was from Lochmore, numerously signed to the same effect. The next petition was from Dunachmore, vety numerously signed. The next was from Gore, and the last he had to present was from Ahbington, in the county of Limerick, signed by most of the respectable inhabitants and farmers in that parish, against the Bill, and which stated that the peace and tranquilly of that part of the country had never been more fixed than it was at the present time. LIVERPOOL PETITION. Mr. EWAIt T rose to present a petition against the Bill, signed by 15,000 inhabitants of Liverpool. The petitioners objected to the transfer of the judicial authority into the hands of military officers, and thought such a course would be destructive of the moral influence of the law, and was utterly unjustified by the necessity of the case. They proved also that it would revive feelings of animosity which had now happily subsided, and believed that the majority of the House were unacquainted with the misery under which the inhabitants of Ireland groaned.—(Hear.) They felt convinced, also, that any attempt to enforce the payment of the arrear of tithes would only have the effect of causing the expenditure of much money and the shed ding of much human blood, besides ultimately leading to the most deplorable coneequent.tz-.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The petitioners concluded by praying that the House would not proceed with the Bill till after further inquiry.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. E.) concurred in almost every statement of the petitioners. He was decidedly against substituting martial law for civil law, or rather martial courts against civil courts. No doubt the Government had made out a case which justified the addition of some powers to the law, but they bad made out no case to justify the pissing of such a Bill as was n ow before the House ;—(Cheers)—and with that Bill he could not bring his mind to concur. He did not think the Government hed acted in a politic manner in introducing a Bill going to this extent, or in introducing it at the present tine. He should have wished them to wait till they had tried how far remedial measures would have succeeded. And when they brougut in their remedial measures, and, as it were, entered into recognizances to keep the peace with Ireland, they might have called upon the independent Members of this House, anxious to give them their support to protect life and pro perty in Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) He should have been happy, for his own part, to have given his support in passing any IR; 3 1 to accomplish that ohj.et. but he cer t,,inly should not give his assent to the enactments of the measure before them. He could assure his Majesty's Mi. nisters, that it was matter of regret awl sorrow to many of their most sincere friends and supporters, that upon this Bill they could not act in conjunction with them. Mr. O'DWYER said that this petition had been adopted at the public meeting, and thereby disproved an assertion made by an Hon. Gentleman as to the feeling or the people upon this subject. An at►ewpt had been made in Liverpool by handing about papers to obtain siznatures to a petition in favour of the Bill, but it had completely failed. These two facts, the o , , e negative and the other affirma ive, might be taken as a true criterion of the state of public opinion in this important town, which he trusted would be thought entitled to weight in that House. Sr JOHN MAXWELL presented a petition from the members of the Renfrewshire Political Union, against the Bill, and praying for the abolition of tithes and the introduction of a system of poor laws into Tr...land, Mr. FERGUS O'CONNOR presented a petition from K nru , k, in the county of Cork, against the Bill. The petitioners stated that the disturbances which had been complained of were not got up by the people in many instances—that in July last a policeman was found in coloured clothes throwing stones at a party of soldiers in order to induce them to fire upon the people. After a long investigation informations were taken against the policeman by a bench of 16 Magistrates. but that the Bill against him was thrown out by the Grand Jury, though four of the identical Magistrates who re ciived the informations were upon it, and it was proved that the policeman was dressed in the clothes of the chief constable. _ Mr. BLAKNEY presented a petition from Gallen against the Bill. They complained that the measure had been passed in another place, and prayed the House would not give it their sanction without a full inquiry. Sir ROBERT BATESON, in the absence of the Honourable Member for Londonderry, pre sented a petition in favour of the Bill from that city. The petitioners declared that the ordinary power of the law was not sufficient to check the outrage which prevailed, prayed the House to pass the Bill as speedily as possible. The petition was signed by the Mayor and Sheriff of Londonderry, and by all the Magistrites, by several D-putv Lieutenants, by the Cham ber of Commerce, by the Reformers, and by every re spectable inhabitant of the city. Mr. O'CONNELL hee,-ed to say that he had a petition from the same place, which he had not had an opportu nity to present aeainst the Bill—(Hear, hear)—which had been got up not privately but at a public meeting. Captain JONES supported the prayer of the petition, and was proceeding to address the House, when he was interrupted by cries of " Question." An Hotq. Memsr.a, whose name, from the confusion which prevailed, it being now past three o'clock, we could not hear, brought in a Bill for a railway from London to Greenwich, which was read a first time. The House then adjourned. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) Two boys, named James Williams and John Harrington, were placed at the bar, charged with having stolen two de canters, valued at 55., and a pair of mittens, the property of George Barlow, master of the ship Burlington. On the Sth Feb., a servant in the employ of the Canal Company, saw Williams coming over the ship's bows which was lying in the dock. Knowing that the master was absent, and that several things had been lately stolen, he stopped him, and found under his jacket one of the decanters, and two stoppers in his pocket. He went on board the ship, and saw Harrington getting over the ship's side. He asked him what business he had there, when he answered that he was look ing for his boat. Harrington got into a boat, and effected his escape into the Commercial-road, where he was caught by a man who had seen him endeavouring to escape in the boat. Nothing, however, was found upon him. The prisoner Williams denied the facts in toto. The Jury found the prisoner Williams Guilty of stealing the decanter, and acquitted Harrington. The prisoner was sentenced to two months' hard labour, and to be once whipped. THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of all descriptions of Grain last week were tolera bly good, and of Flour there was a considerable return. There was no variation in the trade throughout the week This morn ing the fresh supplies are inconsiderable. All the tine dry samples of Wheat were readily taken oft' at Is. per quarter advance on last week's prices, and even other qualbies sold better than of late. Barley for malting m tintaiiis last week's prices, other de scriptions reman very dull. Beans and Pease are unvaried from the quotations of this day se'nnight. The Oat trade is firm and fine samples rather dearer. The prices of Flour remain as last reported, with a moderate trade. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.

I no hu sh. The worst political measures in the worst o times have always been supported by high sounding eloquence,—the aid of meretricious oratory is always resorted to to confound and mislead when there are little pretensions to What case has the Right Hon. Secretary for Ire land made out to warrant the passing of such a Bill on his dictation, without inquiry? He complains that jurymen are intimidated—do not attend in sufficient numbers—and dare not do their duty ; yet he admits thirty-eight convictions were obtained out of thirty-nine cases. A Committee of Inquiry on the state of Ireland, was appointed by the late House of Commons. Did the Irish Secretary attend ? No. He quotes letters, on the authority of which he asks the House of Commons to legis late on a great public question, and then admit , they are mere private correspondence, which h• declines to produce ! He reads a doggrel ballad, alike contemptible in itself, and worthy of the object for which it was brought forward. Ht says, and says truly, that crime has greatly in creased in Ireland. This part of the case, and this only, he has succeeded in establishing. In the year 1830 (at the close of which the Right Hon. Gentleman became Irish Secretary), the number of crimes committed, as classified by the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, was 509. In the year 1832 the number of the same crimes, stated by the same authority, was 1,423 —that is, nearly tripled ! ! Who was Irish Minister during the two years in which this frightful increase took place ?—Mr. STANLEY!! Verily, Mr. STANLEY may well enlarge upon the increase of crime in Ireland—he seems to " make the meat he feeds upon." Ireland, how ever, at this moment is tranquil, and the Irish Secretary absent ! There is something particularly distressing in witnessing a Government, to whom the public are so much indebted, lending itself, and the influence of a popularity justly ac quired, to force a measure like the present upon a Reformed Parliament ; there is something painfully distressing in witnessing a man, like Lord ALTHORP, whose honourable and straight fbrward conduct all men appreciate, yoked to the same car, and dragged through the mire by the blind, impetuous, wanton curvetings of the Irish Secretary. We do not believe, as we have always stated, that the Bill can pass in its present shape—we ~ .annot believe that the first legislative act of a Reformed Parliament wilt be to place one third f their fellow•subjects without the pale of the law at the arrogant bidding of Mr. STANLEY. Where are, and what say, the Tory prints as to the remedial measures? What has been done with the Church Ref ,rm and Vestry Cess Bill ? Has it passed the Commons? Will it pass the Lords ? If not, will it not appear to have been brought forward as a decoy to insure the p•tssing Of THE BHA, ? What has been done with the Grand Jury Amendment Bill ? What has been done towards the extinguishment of tithes, the most odious, unjust, and vexatious of all imposts ? What has been done to relieve the squalid misery and wretchedness of the Irish population ? When they crave justice and bread, will a Reformed Parliament hurl them back nothing but Mr. STANLEY and his Bill ? The official accounts received at the Portu guese Embassy from Oporto are to the 22d ult. They are Dot so unfavourable as the private letters from Oporto would have led us to expect. Vlarshal SoLIGNAC was preparing for a battle, and only waiting the arrival of provisions by sea, in order to commence operations. Lord MILTON, we perceive, has been elected or the northern division of Northamptonshire, in place of his father, who has been called to the House of Peers. We are gratified at hearing of the success of Lord MILTON, for he is a liberal, high spirited young nobleman, and was remark ably active in the cause of Reform, on the occa sion of his father's memorable election for North amptonshire. His address to the electors, which will be found in another part of The Sun, is remarkable for its liberal and enlightened Oa- racter. ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) MIDLAND CIRCUIT —atrium, hfißcrr 8. POACHING,—THE KING, ON THE PROSECUTION OF PEACH, AGAINST PERKINS AND OTHERS. This was an indictment against three brothers of the name of Perkins, and two other persons of the names of Royle, and Lomas, charging them with shooting with intent to kill, &c. The prisoners, in January last, entered a wood of Sir Gilbert Heathcote's for the purpose of shooting pheasants ; that the prosecutor (one of Sir G. Heathcote's keepers), along with an. other man, heard them in the wood firing into the trees, and also heard the pheasants drop. The keepers, being unarmed, did not enter the wood, but lay in ambush outside; and on the poachers coming out they jumped up, when one of them deliberately lifted up his gun to his shoulder and shot at Peach, who immediately fell; they then left the place, but shortly returned, saying, " - him, he's not dead, give him another round," and shot at him again while on the ground; they then left the wood altogether; the keeper, who had accompanied Peach, seeing their numbers, had run off to seek assistance, and on his return found him weltering in his blood. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against the Perkins, on the capital charge, and Royle of the minor offence. The CHIEF JUSTICE passed sentence of death on the throe brothers, and left them for execution. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. On a Monday morning we generally expect numerous ar rivals, but this morning we have been disappointed ; not even the French mail has arrived as yet, and only two of ship letters, one of them from Jamaica, by which we have received the Jamaica Papers, at the North and South American Coffee House, to the 22d January. (From the Jamaica Papers of the lit January.) His Excellency the Governor arrived in Spanish Town, on Saturday, from the north side, in good health. A very able and strong memorial has been presented to his Majesty's Ministers by Messrs. Barrett and Hodgson, stating she distress of this island, and pointing out the remedies to be expected, but no answer has been given. (From the Jamaica Paper of the 19th of January.) We are grieved to And, from the letter of our Private Cor respondent, that the crusade against the colonies is likely to be renewed in a Reformed House of Commons, in consequence of the apathy of the West Indians in England ; and our only hope is that the financial distress of the mother country, and the present unpopular war in which the existing Administra tion has involved the nation, may hurl the Whigs from power, and give us our old friends back again, with the Duke of Wel lington at their head. THE FUNDS. It was generally expected in the city that the new Dutch Ambassador would have arrived in London yesterday ; but up to the present hour we have not heard of his landing on our coast ; we presume that the bad weather has been the cause of his not embarking on board the steamer. The accounts by the mails from Holland and Flanders have rather warlike movements on the part of the Dutch and Bel. gians, but on neither side to any great extent ; each party is on the qui wire not to be taken by surprise. These demonstra. tions, as yet, have not had any effect on the Funds. Consols, which left off on Saturday at BEI 4 for the Account, opened at 88 %.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 11, 1833. The Irish Bill is to be read a second time to night in the Commons, where it does not pro ceed with the same breathless speed that marked its passage through the Lords. The more we consider the principle and provisions of the Bil', the more objectionable do they appear. 'The state of Ireland may be very bad, we have never attempted to disguise it, but it is not so bad as to require such a remedy. The Bill, as it stands, is a sort of monster in legislation ; Mr. STANLEY justifies it on the principle that it is too bad to form a pre cedent. If its provisions were embodied in a manifesto by the Russian Despot, or Don MIGUEL, we believe there is scarcely a man in Europe who would not raise his voice and ex claim against its enormity. The speech of Mr. STANLEY, when the Bill was first brought forward in the House of Com mons, was unquestionably very eloquent ; we are not disposed to under-rate the eloquence with which the Right Hon. Gentleman is gifted,— quite the reverse, for we honestly believe he would have made a speech equally, if not more eloquent (having more of reason and justice with him) had he, happily for his own reputa tion and the public good, thought fit to advo cate the opposite side of the question. In these times, when much common sense is abroad, men _ _ care but little for mere sound and wordy declama•
