'TSMOUTII-TUESDAY. ste4m4rigate, Captain Henderson, arrived raespatches from Lord John Hay, the senior • Jrk the north coast of Spain, and brings Briga dl Evans as passenger, with despatches from his xho commands the British Legion. We have no dews by this arrival of any importance, but a great what may be termed negative, but nevertheless .nportant information. the first place, the Carlists, assuming the offensive, Al to stop the supplies by sea to the Queen's troops, and .nerefore on Thursday last suddenly marched 4,500 men into Lequeitia, a small harbour about half way between Gilboa and St. Sebastian, but garrisoned by more than 1,500 Christinos, and took possession of it ; and other at tacks on various parts of the coast were daily and hourly expected. In the next place, Don Carlos's army was in a much more efficient state than it had been supposed to be, and it was fully supplied with necessaries of all sorts from France. it boasts 150 pieces of artillery, has a manufac ture of gunpowder and a cannon foundry, with plenty of horses. Now all these supplies came from France—there fore it is clear that if Louis Phillipe were honest in his wish to r . ,ut an end to the Spanish civil war, he would not have ariowed, with his perfect system of police and espionage, these supplies to have been furnished ; but the plain fact is, that be is dishonest, and while - he is so, the Queen is in danger, and all our assistance is thrown away. Our ma rines were transhipped from the Castor frigate on Friday hst, and put on board the Isabella steamer, and went to Bilboa to garrison a convent there, advantageously si tuated. Active operations had commenced at Vittoria. Ge neral Evans had separated from Cordova, and was coming again with all his force to the sea side. His first division ayes to enter Santander yesterday, and from that point he -would progress easterly along the coast, and clear the Car lists from all communication with the sea. What object there was in this could not be well understood, as it was well known that Carlos obtained no assistance whatever from sea communication. The Phcenix was fired upon by some Carlists on the coast a few days since from a height. She returned some shells, but whether with or without ef fect is not known. She had nobody hurt. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the LORDS' last night, after the presentation of a great many pcqitior.s on various subjects, the Cheltenham and Great Western Railway Bill was read a second time. The Marquis of Londonderry, in reference to Railroad Bills, said that in several of them frauds had been practised. Lord Minto stated, in answer to an inquiry from the Earl of Hardwicke, that the Naval College at Portsmouth was to be suppressed, and that the means by which naval architecture could be taught were now umier the consideration of Government. The Archbishop of Canterbury's Bill, relating to benefices, pluralities, &c., after a few words from Lord Ashburton and the Bishop of London, was read a second time. The Mutiny Bill was also read a second time. _ _ In the Comm°Ns', there was considernble discussion on the Dublin. Steam Packet Company Bill. It was negatived by a majority of 174 over 120. In reference to the size of News papers, it was stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that he hoped to include the largest sized sheet for a penny, and said that he should give an opportunity to those who wished to publish a half sheet extra to do so for three half-pence, and a double sheet for twopence. The remainder of the sitting was occupied by an interesting discussion en Mr. Harvey's motion for a Revision of the Pension List. The motion was lost on a division, the numbers being 146 for, and 216 against it, making a majority of 70. We have made some remarks on this subject elsewhere, and have only room now to refer to the speech of the Hon. Member for Southwark. It will amply repay perusal by the amusement and instruction it affords. rittuEs OF srocKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Pont: Sto.:k India ........... 2:1'8% 714 - Cent Red. . per t (.... . 3 per Cent.

UOY4 the Duke of St. Albans was well enough yesterdar to drive front Stratton-street to Holly-grave, accompanied by the Dr.chess. Their Graces lunched at Highgate, and re runled to town to entertain a smeil party at dinner. Her Grace's annual fete at Holly Lodge, on the Ist of May, trill not, it i; expected, take place this year, as they return to WI:- tcrle ,, crescent, at Dover, in a few days. The Duke of Devonshire's assemblies will be con flation every Friday evening during the present month. Sir Robert Pet!l will re-commence his dinner par tios next week, in Privy Gardens. General Lord Hill, as Commander-in-Chief, will hold a Levee to-rnorrcw, at his office in the Horse fluards. Lord Melbourne, as locum knew for the Bishop of Durha.n, has conferred the living of Woolla. in that diocese, upor. the Hon. John Grey, fifth son of Earl Grey. DRURI-LANE.—Last night Shakspeare's tragedy of King John was performed at this theatre. Mrs. Sharpe. whose appearance in Lady Macbeth we noticed a few nights back, filled the part of Constance. It was her second appear ance upon a London stage. Taken altogether, the part will, perhaps, never be displayed so as to satisfy the imagination. To do so, would require that Constance should have her wish— "o, that my tongue were in the thunder's mouth." The third act throughout is a perfect tempest of the human soul, and there never lived that woman who could ride in such a whir;wind, and command such a storm. The little that is left to Lady Constance to do, as the play is now represented, was performed by Mrs. Sharpe in a manner highly deserving of praise. She was, by turns, dignified, tender, scornful, and desponding, and all in a natural way. She was most success ful, however, in the passage where the poltroonery of Austria is attacked. Mr. Macready played King John well. The scene with Hubert (Mr. Ward), where he suggests the mur der of Priace Arthur, was an able piece of acting, and highly applauded. This, and the death scene, 'are the principal exertions he has to make, and they were eminently successful. Mr. Ward represented ably the seeming ruffianism, and real tenderness of nature of Hubert, and Mr. Cooper's Falcon bridge was dashing, intrepid, and saucy enough. The tragedy was yellowed by I)er Frieschutz. PARTY AT DEVONSHIRE HOUSE.—Last evening the Duke of Devonshire gave a grand party to her Royal Highness the Laudgravine of Hesse Homberg, and numerous persons of rank. The company sat down to dinner at eight o'clock in the principal dining room. The tables presented a magnificent service of gold and silver plate. Covers were laid for 34. The domestic establishment appeared in their rich state liveries of citron-coloured cloth, with silver lace, In ad dition to her Royal Highness the Landgravine there were pre sent at dinner, the Duchess Countess of Sutherland, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Earl and Countess of Burlington, Lord and Lady Stuart de Rothsay, Lord Elphinston, Lord Foley, Sir Win. Fremantle, Sir Augustus Clifford, Sir Wit ham Wheatley, &c. In the evening there was a full dress assembly. GRAND MUSICAL FESTIVAL AT EXETER Hann.—Last night the first rehearsal of The Israelites in Egypt took place at Exeter Hall, and at once manifested the great popularity of the Oratorio, and the auspicious progress of the festival. At eight o'clock not only was every seat in the Hall occupied, but scarcely standing room was to be found even up to the very door. The performance commenced with a miscellaneous selection of some very choice pieces from the works of the best masters, including many from Handel's Re demption, Judas Maccabceus, Redemption, and Theodora. The miscellaneous selection consisted of a grand Hallelujah Chorus, by Pfeffel. " Angels ever bright and fair," sung by Miss Robson. "A to fra tanti affanni," from Mozart's David e Penitente, given very feelingly and somewhat feebly by Mr. Ilobbs. 66 Ye quenchless stars," from J. Barnett's Omnipre sence of the Deity—a composition of lofty and highly imagina tive character, quite worthy of the company in which it found itself ; it was well sung by Miss Masson, and its very difficult obligato for the horn, played with great delicacy and skill by Platt. " Lord, remember David," was sung by Mr. Barker with force and truth. Miss Rainsforth sung Giulielmi's " Gra tius Agamus," with much spirit. A very fine psalm of Spohr's, a " Laudate," from Mozart, and Beethoven's chorus, " Glory to God," from the Oratorio of Judah, were also admirable items in this portion of the bill of fare. Amongst the com pany were—the Duchess of Roxburg, Lord and Lady Burg_ hersh, Lord and Lady Byron, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, Lady Louisa Duncombe, Sir Thomas and Lady Lethbridge, Sir John Trevelyan, Lady Catherine Ste wart, and Colonel Heywood. THE NEW MASTER IN CHANCERY.—IVIr. Se nior has been appointed the new Master in the room of the •late Master Trower. Lord John Russell, Mr. Spring Rice, and Lord Melbourne, recommended Mr. William Russell, of the Chancery Bar, for that office, and the Duke of Sussex exerted his influence in behalf of Mr. Stevenson, son-in-law f the Earl of Essex, and formerly an officer in the army. It is said that the Lord Chancellor and L or d L ang d a l e d e - . dared that Mr. Senior and Mr. Duckworth were the most eligible of those gentlemen likely to accept the offer of the appointment, and the choice was ultimately fixed on the latter. A banker of Ross, in Herefordshire, who has been born and educated a quaker, has lately, with his wife and children, been baptised and admitted into the communion of the Church of England. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 20, 1836. Mr. HARVEY brought forward the question of the re vision of the Pension List last night in the House of Com mons, in a shrewd, argumentative, and intrepid speech, which Lord Jotix RUSSELL in vain attempted to answer, though he laboured hard at the task, and contrived to obtain a majo rity of 70 against the motion. This result does not speak very favourably for the character of our Reformed House ; but at the same time it must be borne in mind that the ma jority would not have been near so great as it was, had it not been swelled by the Conservative Members, many of whom had a direct personal interest in giving their support to Mi nisters. Meantime, though defeated in his motion, we trust Mr. HARVEY will not lose sight of it. The Pension List, as at present constituted, is a flagrant injustice, which can be defended on no one principle of common sense or com mon honesty. It is not, however, so much the amount, as the character of the thing, that is to be objected to. Even Lord JOHN RUSSELL acknowledged thus much. "Un doubtedly, " said he, " many of the pensions ought not to have been granted. There were persons on the List, who, neither by their professional, nor their personal merits, could be fairly said to come within the proper scope of such grants." Then why not revise the List? Why acknowledge the injustice, yet withhold the remedy ? It is from the pockets of the people that the pensions to unworthy objects arc wrung, and if delicacy is to be observed, it should be observed to the for mer, not the latter. Mr. HARVEY shrewdly remarked, " the poorer classes were told that man should live by the sweat of his brow ; but was it to be endured that a part of what he earn e d by th at sweat, should b e g i ven to sup port private profligacy, or reward political apostacy ? Were the Poor Law relief, and the Pension List relief guided by the same principl e ? N o. T here were commissioners to enquire into the character and claims of any person apply ing for relief under the Poor Law Bill, while interest alone was the test of fitness for the Pension List. Was it not dis graceful to the character of a British Noble to have 1 relations living on the hardly-procured earnings of the work ing classes, while he himself was rolling in wealth ? . Grant him a Committee, and he would prove that there were more than five hundred persons on the Pension List, whose rela tions were every way competent to support them." Yes, an d not only is this the case, but full one balf,if not more; of these pensioners, have -been placed on the list by the influence of ircelima Cadiz, Seville T 4 -4 .Gibraltar SOUTHEY'S COWPER Just published, richly illustrated with engravings, the Third Volume of FI.IHE LIFE and WORKS of COWPER..

The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced lids day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. . Zhe THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1836. their High Tory connections, who are not ashamed that their pauper kinsmen—who are alike too proud, too lazy, and too ignorant, to turn their hand to any honest employ ment—should be indebted for their daily bread to the people, even while they themselves are straining every nerve to thwart the people's interests! Talk, after this, of the refined sense of honour of our Tory aristocracy ! What is it, but " meanness that soars, and pride that licks the dust ?" Oppose the revision of the Pension List as they may, Ministers may rely on it that it must be revised, and that shortly too. As for their talk about " delicacy," " gen tlemanlike feelings," and so forth, it is all sheer cant. The question is one of stern, impartial common-sense, and ad mits of no such mincing, mealy-mouthed sophistries. We beg to call the attention of the Government to a communication received froT l ik our Correspondent at Ports mouth, in which the dupliM of the King of the FRENCH is represented in terms which we have reason to believe is warranted by the conduct of that illustrious personage. We have never placed any reliance in the good faith—the various liberal professions—the assumed affability of man ner—the fulsome praises bestowed on England—nor aught else of the regal trickery so commonly practised by the King of the FRENCH. From the first symptoms which we saw of his real disposition as a King, we beheld a tyrant who, to obtain power, did not scruple to bedizen himself with the gewgaws of a termagant liberty. We - have all along been assured that he was se cretly leagued with Don CARLOS, even when he endeavoured to appear most his enemy. We also know the object which he had in view, and which he still secretly cherishes in his inmost soul. He wishes to place Don CArmos on the Throne of Spain, in order that the eldest son of that Prince may espouse one of his daughters—to whom, we have heard, he is already betrothed. In fact, Louts PHILIPPE is following as fast as ever he can, the example of the unjust Steward mentioned in the Gospel. He an ticipates a reverse of fortune, and is preparing against it by alliances with every Royal family in Europe that will unite itself with the House of Orleans. The same anticipation hurries him into speculations disgraceful to a crowned head. Every means is resorted to for the purpose of amassing wealth which is so disposed of, that he can avail himself of every franc of it, if driven from France. With such an ally England must not expect to succeed in putting down the rebellion in Spain, by any intervention short of marching a regular army into that country. We lose our labour off the coast, while the King of the FRENCH is secretly fostering the rebels along the French frontier. To frustrate such machinations, England must act with promptitude, energy, and decision. It were better for us to sever altogether our connection with France, than to have our best resolves neutralized, through the dupli city of a Sovereign in whom we can place no implicit confidence. Be it here remembered that we have no charge to bring against the French people. They have acted nobly, and would do so now, were they not shackled by a Government that has betrayed them. German papers of the latest dates have been received. Advices from Bucharest, to the 23d of March, complain loudly of the failure of the foreign trade, although it is ad mitted that the internal administration of the country is gradually improving. The cause of complaint is to be found in the jealousy of the nobility, who there, as in Hungary, do all in their power to circumscribe commerce by a restrictive policy. VIENNA, APRIL 9.—Five per Cent., 1044 ; Four per Cents., 99i ; Three per Cents., 75' ; Bank Shares, I,37s.—Allge meine Zeitung, Aisil 14. The whole of the Paris papers of Monday have been received. The Monileur contains the folloviing official com munication from Spain : _ " A telegraphic despatch announces that Lequeitio was taken by the Carlists on the 12th instant. The garrison had not been able to comply with the orders given by Cordova to abandon that little post, useless for the defence of the coast, and were, to the number of 500 or 600 men, made pri soners." We are surprised that CORDOVA, having previously re solved to abandon Lequcitio, bad not provided a sufficient escort to convey the little garrison in safety to Vittoria— the place to which he ordered it to march in dui event of being .attacked by the Carlists. When, howc3er, it was made known to the Commander-in-Chief that the village was besieged, and the garrison_ in danger of falling into the hands of the rebels, the British Legion was ordered to march to its assistance. Unfortunately the Legio❑ did not arrive before Lequcitio until one hour after, the surrender of the ga%ison. Great: blame is attributed to the Governor, who is moreover sus pected of having betrayed the town to the Carlists. The loss of the garrison is the only important affair con nected with this victory on the part of the rebels. The vil lage is untenable by the Carlists, being situated GD the sea shore, within range of the guns of the British vessels of war lying off the coast. As their attack upon the village was not unforeseen, it is very probable that they have already been obliged to evacuate it. A rumour prevailed in Paris on Monday that the notd rious rebel CABRERA had taken Liria, and put all whom litt' made prisoners to the sword. It was also stated that he had menaced Valencia, depopulating the surrounding villages, and murdering without regard to age or sex all who fell into his hands. In fact, the more that is done to humanize the war in Spain, on the part of the Queen's Go vernment, the more eagerly do the partizans of Don CACAOS pursue a directly opposite course. With the bands of law less ruffians who infest the country more with a view to ' procure plunder than to advance auy cause, murder has be-, come a trade. The most helpless creatures are butchered without mercy and without remorse ; and death itself is in flicted with an ingenuity of torture, not exceeded in cruelty in the legendary horrors of the Acta Sanctorum, or Fox Martyrdoms. The French Press in general speaks rather disrespectfully of the Government of MENDIZABAL—but this is nothing I new. There was, however, a rise in the price of Spanish Stock on Monday on the Bourse, which proves that the mercantile world is not wanting in confidence in the firmness, and final triumph of the President of the Council. The payment of the half-year's interest due on Spanish dividends on the 30th inst., will commence simultaneously in London, Paris, and Madrid, on Monday next. In the Chamber of Deputies on Monday the first article of the Customs' Tariff Bill, after a good deal of general discussion, was adopted. This article enacts that " Raw spun cotton, No, 143 French numbers, 170 English, and under that number, may be imported solely at Havre, Calais, or Dunkirk ; and at the following duties :-7f, the kilogramme (21b.) upon plain cotton, and Bf. upon twisted cotton. The smallest quantity admitted shall be in pack ages of 21b. English. All spun cotton must be marked at the Custom-house at the moment of paying the duty, other wise it will be subject to seizure at any subsequent period." " It is generally agreed," says the National, referring to the debate, " that the discussion on the Tariff of Customs will have no result this year, because the Session appears to be too advanced to leave the Peers time to agree with the elective Chamber, or the least means of returning the existing tariff, and appearing at the same time to modify it. Of so many fine words scattered to the winds, there will remain at least, for the edification of the multitude, the social system developed by M. JAUBERT, and accepted by M. TRIERS, as conformable to the ideas of the Cabinet," The farce of the efficiency of the French Police in prevent ing the Carlists from carrying on a correspondence with their friends in every part of France and England, has be come too ridiculous to be longer tolerated. " The Bishop of Leon and M. ERRO," says' one of the Journals before us, " are not the only agents of Don CARLOS who have p asso d through France ; others who successively left Nice and Villafranche passing along the Coasts of the Department of the Var, Mouths of the Rhone, the Herault, and the A.ude, embarked in Roussillon for Catalonia ; they all follo4d the line of steps which have been long prepared for than, and with which the Police ought to be acquainted." It is not surpri s i n g that AL ERRO: was not arrested at Toulouse, since the Carlists in that City daily send remittances to Spain, and their emissaries go ba c k wards and forwards without obstacle. Within this fortnight two hundred thousand francs and more, divided in little portable boxes, with arms and linen, have passed the frontier. Some of the Journals say that the report to which we gave currency in our columns of yesterday, respecting the ba nishment of the Poles who signed the Act of Confedera tion, is not verbally correct. These persons have only been summoned to appear before the proper authorities on Mon day next, when they will be either expelled or subjected to rules for the further suppression of all Associations.

DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.) At the sitting of the Committee this morning, the vote of Thomas Whitty, which was under discussion at the adjourn ment on Tuesday, was decided to be good, no sufficient evi dence having been adduced of a change of residence. Thomas Wright, 85, Thomas-street, was objected to on the part of the sitting Member, for that being registered as a 10/. freeholder, he ceased to occupy alb premises, and let a part of them. Mr. Joy was about to direct the attention of the Committee to the oath taken by the voter at the registry, when he was in terrupted by Mr. G. F. Youri—Does Mr. Joy mean to say that actual residence is necessary in the case of a 101. freeholder ? Mr. Joy—lf the Honourable Gentleman will have the good. ness to listen. Mr. YOUNG esharply)—Thank you. The Hon. Member smiled, and looked significantly towards Mr. West. The evidence applicable to this vote was then read by Mr. Joy. It appeared that Wright ceased to reside on the pre mises, that a part of them was let to tenants, and that for a time his workmen occupied some rooms in it. Mr. WRANGHAM contended that under the Reform Act re sidence was not necessary in the case of a ten pound free holder in a city or county of a town. Mr. YOUNG—I confess there is a strong feeling in the Com mittee that the occupation necessary is the same as specified in the terms of the oath, that is, residence on the freehold. Mr. WRANGHAM proceeded to argue in support of his view, but was interrupted by the Committee, who said they bad de cided on striking the vote of Thomas Wright off the poll. John Frederick Sharman, a non-resident freeman, was struck off the poll of the petitioners, Mr. Wrangham having admitted after the reading of evidence, that ho could not contend for the validity of the vote. James Ward was struck off the poll of the sitting Member by consent, he being in arrear of Wide-street tax. James O'Dowda, Esq., of Harcourt-street, was objected to by the petitioners, on the ground of being in arrear of Wide street tax. Vote disallowed. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY. WOOD V. WOODS--JUDGMENT.

Jennings, of Bir mingham, who died intestate. EXCIIEQUEit COURT.-(THIS DAY.) BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. EDWARDS V. WILLIA NIS. This was an action to recover damages for a breach of pro mise of marriage, tried before Mr. Baron GURNEY at the late Assizes at Anglesea, when a verdict was found for the defendant. Jr.r Join JERVIS this morning moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground of its being against evidence ; and he be lieved also contrary to the opinion of the Learned Judge who presided at the trial. Ihe plaintiff was the daughter of a re spectable Farmer—the defendant filled the office of a Dissenting Clergyman, and unfortunately the trial was had before a Common Jury, which in that county, as unfortunately in many others in Wales, seldom did justice in any case where a Dissenting Clergyman was a party. After the defendant was accused of having deceived the plaintiff, a meeting of the elders of the congregation was held, before which the plaintiff was examined as to whether there had been any private conversation between her and the defendant. She said, No. All had taken place before her father and brothers. They also were examined, but the elders returned to the charge. Had there been no private conversation between the parties, and that being answered again in the negative, they decided that the defendant had not " deceived" the plaintiff, and acquitted him. At the trial the promise to marry was distinctly proved by the father and several brothers of the plaintiff. The defence was the acquittal by the elders—that the plaintiff had afterwards asked two persons to go and ask another person to marry her ; and that on one occasion, when she was asked how she could charge the defendant with such deceit, when she said she had never done so. The Jury had taken up the finding of the elders, and found for the defendant against all the evidence and the summing up of the Judge. The LORD CHIEF BARaN said the Jury seemed to have laid too much weight upon the want of " private conversation." —You may take a rule. Mr. Baron GURNEY said it struck him at the trial that more was meant by the phrase than met the ear, but as there were two gentlemen present who were better acquainted with Wales Orr , he was, who took no notice of it, he did not mention the matter. Mr. JOHN JARVIS said had the defendant beer any thing but a Dissenting Clergyman, it would have struck him in a moment. EXCHEQUER CIIAMBER-THIS DAY. ritnoTT V. BRYANT AND OTHERS. Mr. BOTELER said that this was a bill filed by the plaintiff, , as impropriate Rector of the parish of Oystermouth, in Gla morganshire, against the defendants, for tithe of oysters taken within the pariah, Defendants were owners of boats employed in in the oyster fishing, and the plaintiff claimed tithe of the oysters taken by them, under a custom which he alleged to have existed time out of mind. The fact of tithe having been taken was beyond all doubt, and he believed that the only de fence bet up by the defendants Was that the taking such tithe was a very great hardship on the owners of boats. There indeed be some technical objeetiet— Alr. STEWARt had certainly one objection to take, which, as it must be fatal to the bill, he thought this was the proper time for making it. He took an objection to the bill for want of parties. The bill was filed against the owners of the boats only, but in point of fact the owners or propiietcrs hf thb beats were only joint owners or proprietors of the oysters that were taken. The custom was, that four other persons called dredgers went out with the owner of the boat, and the oysters that were taken were sold as their joint property, and the produce divided in certain fixed proportions between them. It was therefore necessary, on the authority of the case of Cocker v. Page, in 2 Eagle and Young, which stated that in a bill for tithe of fish, all persons interested in the particular adventure must be made parties ; it was necessary that the dredgers should be made parties to the bill, as well as the own er o f t h e boat. On this ground alone he contended that the bill must be dismissed. hearMH i r t s . h L e ß o v i o E s le L n E i Re case win beforeratproc ee dingserup ho gave any decisio n on this par t ticular objection. The case was accordingly proceeding when our re otter left. The price of the four pounds loaf, of the best qua lity, remains at 11 5i sous for the second fortnight of the present month.—Paris Paper.

BUCKINGHAM'S CLAIMS The following is an extract of a Letter, addressed to Mr. Buckingham by a person of high literary character and at tainments, whose name is entered on the List of Subscribers to his Annuity Fund. The letter itself has been forwarded to Mr. Buckingham's Committee, at Sheffield ; but there is one short passage of it so striking, from the just view in wh ich it places this matter, that the Committee deem it right to ex tract it for publication. It is this— the writer says : " I consider your claims as a National Debt, of which every consumer is daily receiving the interest. Those who would reject such claims are, as it were, pocketing the inte rest of a mortgage, the capital of which they refuse to invest. The great merchants who benefit in their business by the opening of the trade with China are the great gainers. A small per tentage on the clear profit they derive from your exertions would shortly discharge the debt the nation owes to you. When the nation has paid up your whole losses and added a fair remuneration for your services, and begins to ex ceed the sum which may be supposed to cover both these claims, then let it begin to take merit to itself for marks of gratitude,' but not till then. How can the cause of Reform hope to prosper, if the nation (whose cause Reform is) will stand by and see each brave spirit that volunteers to go for. ward, and make the breach for others to follow through, mar tyred before their eyes ? " I do hope and pray that the thing may be done completely, and handsomely. The nation has said, by its numerous peti tions, that it is willing to be taxed to pay its honest debt to you. Then, let it shew its sincerity, and instead of screening itself behind its tricking Attorney, the Parliament, pay its debt it self. What should we say to a man who in private life should say, ' I know I owe you the money and there is nothing I wish so much as to pay you ; —but my lawyer advises me not to do so ; therefore I hope you will put up with the loss, and think not the worse of me.' " Yet this is precisely the conduct of all those who, according to the reproach of Mr. Robinson, are very ready to petition, but arc unwilling to pay. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are the French, Jamaica, and Leeward Island Mails. We have received Jamaica papers to the 13th of March. One of these, dated the 12th of March, has the following : "We have devoted our paper of to-day almost exclusively to Colonial affairs, and we wish we could add that they were at all satisfactory. ST. VINCENTS.—A number of runaway labourers from St. Lucia were brought to town on Monday, having been de tained on the leeward coast. After they were examined they were committed to gaol. In their examin2tion these people avowed they had been induced to abscond, under the impres sion that they would obtain their freedom on their arrival here. The same opinion prevailed throughout the island whence they came. " BARBADOES.—The House of Assembly met on Tuesday last, when a Bill was introduced by Mr. Taylor, which passed the House, for assimilating the British Sterling coin to that of the common current coin of the island, by giving the one-shilling piece the nominal value of Is. 64d., equal to the quarter dollar piece, and the 6d., or half-shilling, the value of 10d., which are to be considered a legal tender in payment of debts, or otherwise, up to the sum of 51. Currency. " DOMINICA.—A private letter from Dominica states, that in future Dominica is to be the head-quarters of this Govern ment—it being the wish of his Excellency to fix his residence at that island. Government has acceded to this arrangement. " MARTINIQUE.—The French papers announce the appoint ment of Rear-Admiral Baron de Mackau, Governor of Mar tinique, in the place of Rear-Admiral Halgan. " By the Arab transport we learn that a French fleet has arrived at Martinique, and. 4,000 troops, among whom arc 1,000 artillerymen, who have been sent out for that island and Guadaloupe. " TOBAGO. HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.-The Speaker stated he had just received the following communication from his Ex cellency the Lieutenant-Governor, which he read in his place : " ' The Lieutenant-Governor has much concern in laying before the House of General Assembly the accompanying, copies of two letters, lately addressed to him by the Stipen diary Magistrates having charge of the Windermere district, and one of the Governors in that quarter—the former repre senting in general terms the destitute and distressed state in which many of the free children are found—the latter detail ing the shocking circumstances under which an infant has lately died.' " JAMAICA.—The House of Assembly has been prorogued from the Bth of March to the 12th of April; but it is •not stated whether it will then meet for the dispatch of business, or not. Our own opinion is, that Lord Sligo will continue the prorogation until he receives the orders for his recal from England." We have likewise Demerara Papers to the 27th February. They state that the members of the Honourable Court of Po licy, during their Session, have taken into their consideration the expediency of importing free negroes for labourers. From the large number taken from the slave ships, and placed at the disposal of the mixed commission at Havannah, it has been determined by the Court to send an agent to Cuba, for the purpose of making arrangements, for which 1,000/. was voted. By the express from Paris this morning we learn that an officer has been despatched by the Minister of War to 4ayonne, with despatches to General Harispe, and to General Cael lane, commanding the Army of Observation. These de spatches are said to be of the highest importance : and that in case Don Carlos should not observe the Convention of Lord Elliot, the commandants on the frontiers are to march troops into Spain, to avenge the violation of the Convention. These officers are also to proceed to the head-quarters of the Pre tender, to signify the intentions of the French Government. THE FUNDS.

The instrumental part of the programme conicssted of _ l f,, zart's 9th quartett, the 12th of Beethoven, ar edition, 'one of his posthumous works; Meldelssohn's 3d pianoforte qu'o2, tett ; and Mayseder's Ist settett, or more properly quiet,c.: the doable bass being an ad libitum part. The vocal pies' a were a ca., atina from Robert le Diable, by Nlayseder, _.0., Ha)den's canzonet of " Despair." In the quartetts of M ac_ zart and Haydn, these very clever performers are least . s . t ' ccssful. All the passages are given with accuracy and t he intonation, but they fail in imparting a true character to loss composition. This is no reproach, for we should be at . 1 . s i _ s where to refer them in this country for the true style, virjale . '_ , threatens to become one of the " lost arts." Those who i n r c heard Salomon in his best days, or have attended the 30 , e i : of Baillot in Paris, will understand what is meant 1_ td Salomon is gone, and lives in the recollection only, butb.i6aj.(l.! still survives, and it is said that there is some prospect 015_17r paying a visit to this country in the course of the prese ot __ca d son.

It has shared the common fate of all _t 1 , 1 7 .. master-pieces of this unrivalled genius, of being condemned 9Y.. the great majority of our professors, for the most unans able of all reasons—that they were unable to play them. The_ slow movement of this quartett, independently of the bear!, of the composition, is a great musical curiosity. Bee ti l e at calls it " a song of thanks to the Deity for a recovel f rom inease! e : illness," and he has adopted the old Lydian or termination of the key, without a dominan t seventh, id ly tcrwoven with the rare and abstruse harmonies only him _ could have imagined. The concluding movement is a recita l tive and air, a song without words, and which does net nee " them, full of ardent and passionate expression. T.l3e exe.cun' tion was most finished, every way worthy of the con. and no greater praise can be given. For the quartet of Men delsshon, Mr. W. S. Bennett was added to the pal I j , „ l i t i s i t proved himself a most worthy associate. We have no '" n b vi h o player on the pianoforte who excels this very young rn a n ' wic is justly named the " pearl" of the Royal Acaciemi- a t a have heard Mendelsshon play this piece, and should Gen ~ loss to which to assign the preference, so just was the ;6; ipositio , tion, and so finished the execution of all the parts of it. Scherzo was encored. • ling Meyerbeer's song was a charming little piece. It was s .ght by Mrs. Bishop with a force and enthusiasm we have 11 ° ri ,ist always to expect from this very clever performer in the mi . I , of a fatiguing London season. We never heard he r sing,' well before. It was accompanied on the pianoforte by l i r ' . Bishop, and on the Corno Inglese by Mr. G. Cooke, '/. produces a peculiarly-fine tone from that instrument. The f part was played too with great discretion. The cansonecieet or Haydn, assigned to Mr. Balfe , and the quintett of Mar, n ; we did not hear.

The direct comparison would be a somewhat odiou; one were it to be made to the disadvantage of the young% and less known professors, but as the " stars" the worst of it, it becomes a piece of absolute justice to bestow the palm where it is due, and to sav• that the fact is e. n , i ; happen to be / This detracts nothing essential from the reputation of M,O rl io party, who have other channels of distinction.

What occurred at the last of Ml_ parties, in regard to Beethoven's 12th quartett, is alone sLi, cient to dispose of the question , A port i on only ofu u t ot sublime work was given, and setting aside the bad ta ste 10,, omitting anything in a composition where .the parts sue,„ta and relieve each other, the moveme nts chose* were incT er plate in themselvet ; there" was no return'to the minuet a' ~..., the trio, and one of the connecting limbs of the a dagio , ti c r-: inimitable song of thanksgiving, by an andante, was odl itt a : with which " most lame and impotent" conclusion ;the s io : called " quartett" broke off.
