which had led to that chango ; he would only say that the prejudice existing throughout France against the exercise of that right was unconqu erable, and was daily increasing. I might, therefore, he continued, form some judgment of the degree of satisfaction with which he had received the communication which I had j ust made to him, an nouncing the acquiescence of her Majesty's Government in the proposal of that of France for the appointment of a joint Commissio n for the p ur p ose of inquiring whe ther means as effectual as the mutual right of search might not be resortel to for the suppression of the slave-trade. He was fully aware of the feelings of the people of England on the subject of this odious traffic, and of the jealousy with which the proceedings of the proposed Commission would be watched; and I might therefore be assured that the compliance of her Majesty's Go vernment in the proposed inquiry would be justly appre ciated by the Government, the Legislature, and the people of France. His . Excellency then informed me that the Duke de Broglie would be charged with this important commis sion, and I am certain your Lordship will be of opinion that a better selection for that purpose could not have been made. The Duke de Broglie has fur many years been a strenuous advocate for the abolition of the slave-trade, and it is under his auspices, as "Minister for Foreign Af fairs, that the supplementary convention of 1833 was concluded. It is not likely, therefore, that he will pro pose, or will himself be satisfied with, any measures for the suppression of the traffic in slaves less efficacious than those at present in force under the treaties.

TO THE EDI7'OII OF 7'llE SUN. hatever may be said of poachers, their pur suits are no more disgraceful than the nobility and gentry having their slaughter -days of game. If the middle class were to practice this " slaughter " system the higher orders would, at once, be up in arms through out the country. Latterly I have taken opportunity, now and then, to sound poachers about the sale of game. I have ob served to them, it is expected a law will be passed that game-dealers shall only sell game at a very low price. The answer has been to the effect, that it would not then be worth while to go out—the inducemefit would be over. But] I have no doubt those affected with the game mania will cling to the disgraceful preserving and the abomi nable game-laws, just the same a; the landholders will to the iniquitous corn-laws.—l am, Sir, &c., Feb. 11. FOR PUBLIC GOOD. P. S.—The person who talks about a Commission of Inquiry into the game :system must be either shallow minded or game mad ; the pest is too plain to need a Commission of Inquiry. CUSTOMS AND PORT DUES AT PORT ADELAIDE. Extract of a letter, dated Sept. 7, 1844, and received at Lloyd's yesterday : " The alteration of tonnage dues anticipated has not been made; they, therefore, remain 3d. per ton, and 3d. out wards; a considerable alteration has been made, however, n the Customs duties." TRADE WITH SPAIN—CONSULAR REGISTERS. The Spanish Government have lately ordered, that— " In all Consulates the notes of shippers are to be shown to captains and masters of vesseLs, that they may compare the same with their bills of lading." This has been consi dered necessary, owing to the mistakes and variations that occur sometimes between the master's bills of lading and the consulate's register of the cargo.

FORFAR COUNTY MEETING.—A general meeting of the Commissioners of Supply of the county was held on Tuesday, John Hay, Esq., of Letham ' in the chair when . a report ou the present system of Scottish banking and currency, prepared by David Milli, Esq., D un d ee (one of a Committee appointed at a previous meeting), was submitted and unanimously approved of.

The meeting resolved to memorialise the Treasury on the subject.—Edinburgh Advertiser.

SUN, LONDON, THU - RS DAY L VENING, FEER iTAR Mr. BOUVERIEI asked whether there was any nego tiation, or likely to be any, between this country and the Brazilian Government for the conclusion of a commercial treaty. Sir R. PEEL replied in the negative. After a few words from Mr. RICA.RDO and Mr. M. GIBSO7 Lord Jo RUSSELL asked if the Right Hon. Ba ronet intended to press the House to come to a deci sion on his financial scheme on Friday. Sir R. PEEL would not, if any objections to his financial scheme were made, press the House to come to a decision on the subject on Friday. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. TheCHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER announced that the sum proposed by the Government to meet the demands of the current year would be 18,404,5001. After a few words from Mr. HUME and Mr. WIL LIAMS on the subject of the reduction of the interest on Exchequer Bills, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in answer to questions from Mr. T. Baring, stated that the results of the reduction of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents would Hot become apparent until the accounts should be made up in April, 1845, and that the whole of the opium compensation money, with the exception of 1,500/. which was in dispute, had been paid up. The sum of 18,404,5001. was then voted on account of outstanding Exchequer Bills, and the House re sumed. Sir R. PEEL was excused for serving (Al Election Committees, and the House adjourned at Six o'clock. In reference to a letter, which we insert, from " J. V.," who dates from Stepney-green, we cannot help expressing our own earnest hope that the Pre mier may include in his financial propositions, to morrow evening, one for the large reduction or total repeal of the duty charged on fire-insurance policies. In every possible point of view, this is one of the most objectionable imposts which a Government can levy. It operates as a direct premium on the apathy or improvidence of some parties—as a most iniquitous tax on the misfortunes and poverty of others. The former of these classes are deterred from availing themselves of that security to which every prudent man, in a community like ours, resorts against the mischief and ruin which are likely to be in flicted upon him by the calamity of a fire consuming his property, or his stock, house, furniture, &c. They look at the large amount of the duty (on the average about one-third, rather than one-half, we believe of the premium on the insurance), and between the cer tainty of having that burden to bear, and the uncer tainty of being exposed at any time to the calamity in question, postpone indefinitely insuring till the catastrophe occurs, and perhaps in one hour reduces them from competency—from affluence, even —to beggary or destitution. The latter class, with every disposition to insure, and perhaps after putting by, with many a struggle, out of their hard earnings suffi cient money to pay the premium upon the amount they would cover by a policy, cannot find the wherewith to pay the further amount, between a third and a half of the premium, required for the stamp duty. They, too, may be hopelessly overwhelmed by a similar destruc tive visitation, but aggravated by the conviction that but for the tax which- a reckless Government had thus imposed on the exercise of a meritorious forethought, they might have been no sufferers beyond the mere temporary inconvenience of shifting their abode. This domestic and social point of view is not the only one in which the matter should be looked at. It is -cell known that small policies, to a very consider able number, and of course to a large aggregate amount, are effected every year by English house holders and others with the insurance offices in Holland, in order to escape the operation of this most iniquit ous and impolitic duty. Sir ROBERT PEEL will de serve great credit if he remit it. We hope that an lion. and Gallant Member, whose political principles and prepossessions it is not our wont to praise, be• cause we cannot concur in them, but for whose con sistency we can feel every respect, will be at his post to-morrow afternoon, to urge upon the Government, if necessary, his old appeal for the remission of the duty on fire insurances. We allude to the Member for Lincoln (Colonel SIBTIIORP), whom we have had so recently to thank for putting certain questions that have elicited important explanations touching the working of the new Board of Trade's Railway Com mittee. Madrid journals of the sth inst. have been received, from whieh we learn that almost the only subject of conversation in the capital was the expulsion of a Deputy from the lower Chamber. It appears that at a ball given by NAuvAEz, some time previous, certain articles of plate were missing, and there being no evidence to impute guilt to the servants, a strict watch was kept at a subsequent ball given, when one of the guests was caught in the act of secreting some valuable articles. He was immediately seized, and turned out to be Senor QUIN TANNILLA-Y -MONTOYA, Deputy for Seville. As the affair had got abroad the Chamber was compelled to take it up, and in a secret sitting instituted an inquiry which left no doubt of the Deputy's guilt, and he was expelled by a majority of 105 to 18. A letter was read from MoNrova, in which he admitted that he had the plate in his possession, but was incapable of taking it for unworthy purposes. Ile is said to be a man of good family and fortune. It is also stated in these papers that the commandant of the fort at Europa Point, Gibraltar, who fired on a Spanish vessel and sunk it some months since, had been superseded. On the sth, the Three per Cents. closed at 32 9-16, at GO days; the Five per Cents. at 24, the Coupons at 264, and the Debt without interest at GI, at GO days. All interest in the proceedings of the French Chamber is now suspended till Monday next, when the debate on the Secret Service Money Bill is to commence. Both parties look forward to the contest with hope, but especially the Ministry, who confi dently trust that they will have a considerable ma jority in their favour. At all events it is to decide the fate of the GUIZOT Ministry, and should the Con servative waverers hang back and leave their party with only a small majority, as in the vote on the Parrellartv Indemnity, the Coalition—that is, the MoLE and TIMERS' party—must come into office. The Ministerial organ, the Journal des Debats, challenges the Opposition to a fair trial, of strength, and candidly avows that if they have only a small majority, the Ministry will at once re sign. "If the Opposition be willing," it says, "the battle will be decisive. But does the Opposition really desire to give battle, or will it give itself the air of being satisfied with its pretended success on the Address—a success which, however, was confined to obtaining a fine minority Q It little matters to us, after all. If the Opposition draws back, and abstains, its defeat will not be less evident to every one. For our part, we allow, without any hesitation, that, whilst the discussion on the Address gave the Mi nistry the majority, it did not sufficiently decide the question of the Cabinet. It requires to be known whether the vote which reduced the majority to eight is an accidental vote, or one applied to the groundwork of the Ministerial policy. The Secret Service Money Bill will clear up this decisive question and, if the trial turns against the Ministry, it will, we are convinced, retire at once—it will not hesitate one moment—for a Government cannot be carried on with a majority of eight. For the last fortnight the Chamber and the Ministry, the Opposition and the Conservative party, have been in a state of crisis, to which the Secret Service Money Bill must put an end, one way or the other. We called for this Bill with impatience, and we thank the Ministry for having loudly challenged the Opposition to the combat. It has assured to itself, by this frank and courageous manner of placing the question, a v:ctcry or a withdrawal from power, equally honourable. We hope for vic tory. The Conservative party has united again. The abuse of M. THIERS' journals, and the threats of M. BILLAULT, have only caused them to close their ranks. They will not fail the Cabinet, for the Cabi net only remained in power in order not to abandon the Conservative party ; and, henceforward, they can only conquer or be beaten together." Some of the Opposition journals regard the con• test as already decided, but GulzoT and his friends, like the British at Waterloo, are so stupid as not to know when they are beaten. The Courrier Francais, which is rather in a desponding mood, thus upbraids Ministers for fighting after they are virtually extinct : " The Ministry demands then a second battle. What has passed since the last contest to give the Cabinet hopes that the Chamber will declare itself in a different manner, and grant to it a posthumous majority? What new facts have arisen? By what acts has the Cabinet acquired to-day the confidence which it did not possess y e sterday? After the vote on the Pritchard indemnity, the Cabinet ought to have retired. It did not, however; and why should it do so on the question of the Secret Service Money ? Where is the neces. sity of a second trial when the fact was so decisive? Is it intended to multiply the number of games, in order to have the more time to load the dice ?" There is little doubt, however, that GUIZOT will have a sufficient majority. The Opposition journals have at last discovered the paragraph in the QUEEN'S Speech which recommends an increase of the navy estimates, and are highly indignant at a measure which can have only one object—the universal dominion of the seas. After giving a long list of islands and promontories and continents which England has 7.p• propriated to herself by the most nefarious means, the National resigns itself to despair:— " England can now dare anything. Has she not imposed upon France a man of her own as first Minister? What counterpoise can there henceforward be to her power in the balance of Europe? Has not a French Chamber consented to indemnify a Pritchard, because he was not quite unrestrained in his attempts to have Frenchmen assassinated? There is not a continent, not an archipelago, not a commercial route, which does not bear a sign of servitude. By the right of search she can destroy all rival commerce, and we know in what way she exercises this right. Let her then display with pride all her means, let her augment her steam-navy, in order to add new rights to those which she already enjoys for the happiness of the world and her own subjects. We see nothing to oppose it, unless Europe should at length be come weary of being governed by the agents and interested friends of England." The following are given as the principal clauses of the treaty agreed to between the French Envoy and the Chinese Commissioners, at Macao, on the 24th of October : " 1. France is to be placed on a footing of equality with the most favoured nations, as respects customs' duties. "2. She is never to be subjected to the payment of any periodical tribute to the Sovereign of the Celestial Empire. "3. She may establish a factory at Canton on the plan of those possessed by the English, Dutch, Dana, Swedes, and Spaniards. "4. She will be permitted to trade at Tchang-tcheou, reserving the right of the Crown of Spain, which enjoys a privilege in that city. "5. She may establish factories at Iliamen, Tchao•hing, and Ningpo. "6. Finally, she will have the right of trading in every place that may hereafter be opened to the most favoured nations." THE BOURSE--TUESDAY, FEB. 11. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price.

The Lord Chancellor sat to-day in Lincoln's Inn Hall, at half-past ten o'clock. OLDFIELD V. COBBETT.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CDANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which was argued before his Lordship sonic time since, upon a motion on behalf of the defendant, Mr. Cobbett, to discharge an order of the 9th of June for irregularity. His Lordship, on giving judgment, observed, that although the case had occupied a considerable period of time in arguing, the question depended upon con siderations that resolved themselves into very narrow limits. The short outline of the case was this :—Mr. Cobbett, the defendant, not having put in his answer in time to the plain tiff's bill, an attachment issued against him. The Sheriff was not able to arrest Mr. Cobbett, and returned non est investus. Proclamation then issue:?, but still it was found impossible to arrest Mr. Cob bett, and then a commission of rebellion issued against him, and he was arrested on the 6th of June. One of the Commissioners was a person named Henry Doncaster, and the other Simian, a sheriirs-officer, who kept a lock up house in Cursitor-street. Mr. Cobbett was kept in custody at Sloman's till the Monday following, and then he was con veyed, by a person of the name of Haslem, who was a servant of Sloman's, to White Cross-street prison, and delivered to the keeper, or one of the turnkeys there. He was de livered, according to the indorsement upon the writ, in to '1 the custody of the keeper of the prison by Haslem, on the part of Sloman. On the 9th an application was made by Henry Doncaster to the keeper of the prison to deliver Mr. Cobbett up to him, in order that he might be brought before the Court of Exchequer : the keeper of the prison declined to give Mr. Cobbett up, thinking that he had no right to do so. In consequence of this refusal a notice was served by the attorney of the plaintiff' upon the keeper of the prison, the Commissioners, and the sheriff. The keeper of the prison appeared to have consulted his law advisers, and finding that he had no right to de tain the defendant, he delivered him up on the 11th day of June to Henry Doncaster, and he was then brought before the Court of Exchequer, and there committed to the custody of the Warden of the Fleet for contempt in not answering the plaintiff's bill. Now, Mr. Cobbett made various objections to these proceedings ; and he complained first of the manner in which he had been treated during his confinement. Now, if Mr. Cobbett had any good complaint on that subject, he should have complained to the Court of the conduct of the Commissioners, and they would have either been censured or punished for their offence, but that would form no ground for setting aside the order for irregularity. Mr. Cobbett then com plained that he had offered bail that was unexceptionable, but that it was not accepted, in consequence of the fault of the Commissioners, and that he was kept in custody. There was no doubt that it was the duty of the Commissioners to have discharged Mr. Cobbett, if sufficient bail had been offered; and, if not, then they were bound to bring him before the Court of Exchequer ; and, if they did not do so, they were liable to punishment; but this did not effect the regularity of the proceedings. Such being the state of things, the next objection and the principal one taken by Mr. Cobbett was, that he was kept in confinement after the return to the writ ; that the writ was returnable on the 10th, and that he was not brought up till the 11th. Mr. Cobbett seemed to think that there was an end of the writ upon the return, and that no person after then had a right to keep :aim in custody or do anything under the writ. His Lordship considered that in that respect Mr. Cobbett laboured under a mistake. It was true that after the return of the writ the officer could not arrest a party, but where the party was in custody at the time of the return of the writ, the officer had no busi ness to discharge him without bringing him before the Court. His Lordship thought that the course that had been pursued by Mr. Cobbett upon that occasion clearly showed that he was in doubt himself as to the validity of the objec tion, because he argued, and very forcibly, too, that the effect of taking him to Whitecross-street prison was taking him out of the custody of the Commissioners, and that there fore it must be considered as a retaking after the return of the writ, and therefore not valid. This paint had cer tainly been very cleverly put by Mr. Cobbett, but there was no foundation for it; the defendant having been brought to the bar of the Court, was properly committed. Such were the arguments used by the defendant for the purpose of obtaining the setting aside of the order of the 11th of June, for ir regularity, and on the whole, his Lordship thought there was no ground made fur discharging the order in that respect, and therefore it must stand. Repeated applications had been made to discharge the order, all of which were refused, with costs. This was the state of things up to 18-13, when, the defendant having in the meantime put in his answer, the plaintiff put in a replication to rejoin, and the question then raised was, whether the plaintiff having done so, it was not to be considered as a waiver of the contempt on his part, and entitled the defendant to be discharged from that contempt without the payment of costs. His Lord ship considering this a most important question, had consulted several of the officers of the Court ; and he had received a certificate from the Six Clerks, who stated it to be their opinion, that according to the practice of the Court, the defendant was entitled to be discharged upon that order without the payment of costs. Under these circumstances, his Lordship felt himself bound to say that the course pursued by the plaintiff was a waiver of the contempt, and that Mr. Cobbett was entitled to be dis charged from the effects of the order of the 11th of June, with out the payment of costs. What effect this might have on the other proceedings he would not say—he would leave it to Mr. Cobbett to consider that the other order being in force against him— Mr. Cobbett was anxious to know whether the order now pronounced would discharge him out of custody in one suit ? The LORD CHANCELLOR said it would riot. There was an end of the order of the I Ith of June, and that was all. Several applications had been made to discharge the order, which this Court had refused with costs, and those orders were not affected. The judgment of his Lordship dischared Mr. Cub bett from the contempt, not in consequence of any fault in the original order, but something that had occurred since. Mr. Cobbett was liable to the costs of all the other orders. Mr. WAKEFIELD—Iie is discharged from the contempt o: the order of the 11th of June. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Yes, and nothing else. Upon the application of Mr. Cobbett, he was permitted to come up again on a future day to move !or the discharge of the other orders. CLIFFORD V. FURRELL. The Court then proceeded with the further arguments in this case, which were not concluded when his Lordship rose, shortly before two o'clock. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole day with causes of no general public interest. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings after Term.) IN RE CHARLES CARUS WILSON-lIAREAS CORPUS. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that, in obedience to the writ of habeas corpus issued in this case, they had brought here the body of Mr. Charles Carus Wilson, together with the return of the cause of commitment, and he prayed that the return might be read. The return was then handed in and read, which set forth the contempt of, and sentence on, the prisoner. After the return had been read, The SOLICITOR GENERAL moved that the prisaner be re manded. Mr. ROEBUCK said that he had a request to make to the Court under rather extraordinary circumstances. He could not attach blame to any person, nor did he wish to do so. He would merely state the facts to the Court. He appeared there as counsel for Mr. C. Wilson, and the brief in the case was only put into his hands late yesterday evening. Mr. Kelly and Mr. Peacock, who were Mr. Wilson's counsel, were engaged in another Court, and, in' consequence, they were unable to attend on the part of Mr. Wilson. He was then requested to appear for him, and, of course, he could not refuse to perform his duty. Placed under such circumstances, and engaged in such an important matter, he prayed for some time to consider the arguments which had been urged. He was sure their Lordships would feel that he would be unable to argue the case under such notice as he had received. Furthermore, the return was now read for the first time. He had no knowledge of what its contents might be till the present moment. In another case, in which there had been a return of a peculiar description—the case of the Canadian prisoners —time had been given to counsel to con sider the return. He was even without a junior till the pre sent moment, when he understood that Mr. Pearson was in structed. He, therefore, hoped the Court would allow him time, the prisoner liming been unhappily left without the assistance of his two Learned Counsel. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he believed the proper course for him to take was to move, in the first instance, to have the return filed. Lord Di MAN—That cannot be—you are not in Court. The writ was returnable on the 18th of January, and the pro ceedings have been delayed till after term. We are now sitting as a single judge in chamber would, but in a matter of this importance it was thought right that more than one judge should sit. Mr. ROEBUCK—Can an action then be brought till the re turn is filed ? Lord DusmAx—Certainly. It is the object of the habeas corpus that it be proceeded with immediately. The course is to have the return filed after hearing. With regard to the application made by the Learned Counsel (Mr. Roebuck), I own I find it difficult to believe that the Learned Counsel who were engaged in the early part of this case would have left the prisoner, and that they would have deserted him now. And, with regard to the novelty of the statement, papers, bearing the signature of the prisoner, and setting out all the facts, were sent to me most improperly, out of Court, months ago ; and, in fact, there is no surpriss at all, except with regard to the Learned Counsel now engaged for the prisoner. The Soucnou-GENERAL—Although Mr. Roebuck has been but lately instructed, their Lordships were aware that the return now read was but an echo of the affidavits which were for months before the Court. Mr. ROEBUCK said he did not know anything about that. The Soucrroß- GENERAL—We understand perfectly your case. Mr. ROEBUCK-I cannot undertake the case under such short notice as I have received. That is the difficulty in which lam placed, from the peculiar circumstances men tioned to your Lordships. The Souceron-GENEnat.—One of the objections to the adoption of the course suggested by my Learned Friend is the great inconvenience and delay that would attend it. Of course, I have a great disinclination to press on the case, under the peculiar circumstances mentioned by my Learned Friend ; but I do hope that some arrangement will be made which will relieve us from the obligation of keeping the traverser any longer in prison. With a view to facilitate this course I have no objection that Mr. Wilson should be ad mitted to bail upon his own recognizance, and to appear at an early period next term. Mr. RoEnucx—My Lords, under the very peculiar circum stances of this case I have been instructed to say, that Mr. Wilson cannot enter into any compromise whatever, and that he would rather be remanded to the Queen's Bench. The SOLICITOR - GENERAL-But that would be attended with considerable expense, for Mr. Wilson has, up to this time, been maintained in prison at the expense of the Royal Court. Mr. Wilson here stated to his counsel that he never was maintained at the expense of the Royal Court; that he had borne all the expense himself. Mr. ROEBUCK—I am instructed, my Lords, that Mr. Wil son has borne the expense of maintaining himself all through. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL -MT. Wilson has had the prison allowance; but he chose to indulge in other luxuries, for which, of course, he had to pay. Mr. Wilson—l never received the gaol allowance but the first day. Ri:EoEsucic—l am instructed, my Lords, that the state ment of my Learned Friend the Solicitor-General is incor rect in this respect. Lord DEN:4.t.N—Wc want to kno:v n , ) , mt thtl: but my learned brothers and myself are of opinion that this case should be put an end to. It is very extraordinary, after the great length of time which this case has already occupied, and the pains that have been bestowed upon it, both by myself and the two Learned Judges who are now beside me, that some decision should not be come to now upon it. If we had the Learned Counsel who were engaged for the defence here, to state upon what grounds they im pugned this writ, or whether them were any grounds for im pugning it, perhaps there might also be given some reason for asking for further delay; but we have heard no grounds stated for impugning it, for Mr. Roebuck has stated none, and, therefore, I am not justified in saying that the prisoner should be remanded. The very nature of this proceeding—the very nature of a habeas corpus—requires that great caution should be exercised in coming to a decision upon it, but great promptitude is necessary also, and therefore a decision in this case there must be. I have sacrificed much time in con sidering it—timethat I was not j :stifled in applying to it—in trying to bring it to a close; but, having done so, I have no objection to render any assistance my information may afford to the two Learned Judges who are now present, and who are to be considered as sitting in chamber; and I would suggest that they should attend to-morrow and deliver judg ment. The SOLICITOR •GENERAL -I !should alio have stated to your Lordship; that I made my arrangements so as to devote myself entirely to this case to-day, and have with that view refused to undertake other business; but it would be utterly impossible for me to attend to it to-morrow, that i 3 quite out of the question. After the lapse of a few minutes, Mr. ROEBUCK rose and said—My Lords, I have been in structed to say that Mr. Wilson will enter into his own re cognizances to appear at whatever time may be fixed. The Somerrom-GENERAL—I an quite satisfied, but I could not attend to-morrow. Mr. RoEnucK—l hope, my Lords, that I stand acquitted of any imputation of causing delay. Lord DENMAN-Oh, there is not the slightest imputation of anything of the sort against you, Mr. Roebuck. Mr. Ronnuctc—Shall we be allowed to have a copy of the writ, thoughit has not been filed? The SOLICITOR-GRNERAL--Oh, certainly; I shall take care that you have a copy of it to. day. Then, as to the day, what day will your Lordships fix? Lord DEzotAN—Say the seventh day of next term. The Souctvoa-GENEa.u.—Perhaps your Lordships would say Tuesday, the 22d day of April next. Their LORDSHIPS assented, and that day having been fixed, the Court rose. NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

Member for Greenock. We wish to speak to the great question ' advo cated by that gentleman, without distinction of po litical parties—Chartists, Radicals, or any other. It is not merely reasonable, but it is matter of essential right and fairness and, propriety, that those among the poorer of the working classes, who, when they travel by railroad, can only pay for second or third class accommodation, should he provided by the various Railway Companies with such carriages as will neither endanger health, nor put life or limb in jeopardy. We have been often disgusted, even on the most important of our great working lines, at observing the utter want of all provision, in the vehicles to be appropriated to their second and third class passengers, against the inclemency of the weather or for the personal accommodation and ease of the passengers. No body of her Majesty's subjects are better entitled to Le better used, within the limits of a reasonable relation between the scale of the fares g o th i hy i y d i cechirr:ebt creditable lit e ttuna w abol sl o l ety n dn e ey r pa f or u ri I deportment encounter,nv at theirt i n o n n d s they pay and the expenses of the carriages they are theytpe va t oe r yea ftieendure,lel enjoyment, te y , scanty seasons and scantier means of relaxation or ably, they have endured and must always periodically encounter the severest pressure and distress that are experienced, perhaps, by any industrial community in Europe. ar o i t r n ihf g e t h N w tV e oe i i Itlhei LATE RESCUE FROM DROWNING AT LEITH. We publish with much pleasure the following letter from Mr. George Robins, of London, in reference to this case, the particulars of which we gave in our paper of Tuesday last. A man had fallen into the Dock at Leith, and had sunk twice, so that all hopes of saving him were at an end, when James Carnie, one of the Custom-house boatmen, bravely leaped into the water, and, at the imminent risk of his own life, rescued the drowning man. The suggestion of our cor respondent we consider a very just and proper one, and shall be happy to take charge of any sums which may be trans mitted to us in behalf of James Carnie : TO THE EDITOR OF THE EDINBURGH ADVERTISER. Covent-garden, Feb. 6, 1845. Sir,—l have just read, in one of our morning news papers a paragraph extracted from your journal, the Edinburgh Advertiser. It relates to an act of so much bravery and kind feeling, that I think, if you will take the trouble of corroborating this tale, there would not be found wanting in our metropolis, as well as yours, sym pathy and good feeling enough to induce a little subscription in favour of the intrepid man, Carnie, who so courageously risked his own life to save a fellow -creature. I feel that it is the duty of all those who possess the means, to encourage such acts of bravery and kind-hearted feeling as you have re presented, to do something that will act as a stimulus on future occasions. It is not enou gh to read of it and put by the paper, with the frozen compliment of " What a tine the l r e public w otbeapathetie on suc h Occas i ons; some thi ng no required to encourage him at a future fellow," ltuli tagiving a solitary shilli ng , as a rem i n d er th a t substantial is period to risk his life , as he evide ntly has done in this case ; and my sovereign is very much at his service, if you will take charge of it ; but do pray write thr ee or f our li nes i n corro boration of this act of revery-, in order that others who may not yet have read this extract may see it, and do a little to encourage and reward more generally such acts of heroism. —I am, your most obedient servant, GEORGE ROBINS. Messrs. Ransom, the bankers in London, will kindly re• ceive any contributions. FIRE INSURANCES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. am rather surprised that no one has drawn public attention (that I am aware of) to the duty payable on fire insurances. Double the amount is paid to Government as tax to what the companies receive to enable them to pay for the rebuilding of all the houses that are burnt down, clerks' salaries, and all other expenses, including a remunerating profit for themselves. If all this can be done out of half the duty, surely the other half une would think quite sufficient to be paid as duty, to insure protection to the public. Now there is a surplus revenue, would it not be a suitable time to press it upon the Premier's attention? Should you think with me on this subject, you will please to notice it in some way in your widely-circulated journal, and you will oblige a numerous class of readers, including your obedient servant, Stepney-green, Feb. 12, 1845. J. V. THE OVERLAND JOURNEY TO INDIA.—The follow ing details of a journey recently performed by Lieutenant Waghorn prove that a trip to India and back is quite as practical as any of the common continental tours, and we have no doubt that in a short time we shall find it the fashion of the day. Mr. Waghorn left London on the 26th of September; he reached Marseilles on the 4th of October, arrived at Alexandria on the 11th, remained in Egypt eleven days, where he had audiences with the Pacha, left Suez on the 22d, and arrived at Bombay ou the 10th of November. His stay at Bombay was 23 days. He left it on the 2d of December—got to Suez and Cairo on the 20th, had another audience with the Pacha, left Alexandria on the 23d, was detained at Malta a day and a half, and arrived •at the Motherbank on the 9th of January, and landed on the 11th, after performing two days' quarantine. The total absence from London to Bombay and back, including stoppages and the delays abovemontioned, was 107 days, or 70 days' only actual travelling. LOWESTOFT, FEB B.—LOSS OF THE EMERALD, OF BELFAST.—The Emerald, of Belfast, Harrison, from London to Aberdeen, with guano, struck upon the Barnard Sand, about twelve o'clock last night, the wind blowing strong from the N.E., with snow storms, and shortly after wards sunk. The crew took to the rigging, and at daylight this morning (Saturday), a boat from Kessingland Beach rescued them from their perilous situation, and landed them in an exhausted state, destitute of everything.—lpswich Th l e VlaAT guar dians lN Express. A w N er A e a bout it, thinking that NAME P— jekrtrythe S. Thomas's Union last Friday, one Henry Phillpotts applied for relief ' . the application was about a type and forerunner of dis tress that would be found with the head of the family— for many would have it that it was same connexion of a Right personage. Reverend The Rev. A. Atherley was in the chair. He kept his countenance remarkably well at first, but when an ancient guardian roared out " bring in the Bishop," the Reverend Gentleman was agitated with an uproarious cacehination. 'Twas not the Bishop, but a hard-working man of the same name.— Western Times. EARLDOM OF PANMURE.--A. petition of Mr. W. Mauls, praying that her Majesty w ill be graciously pleased to adjudge and declare " that he has right to the titles, honours, and dignities of the Earldom of Panmure, and Lord Brechin and Navar," was presented by command of her Ma jesty on Tuesday to the House of Lords, and it was referred to the Committee of Privileges. EXCHEQUER.--('PHIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius before the LORD CHIEF B.knoN and Special Juries.) GREEN V. PRICE. This was an action of covenant to recover the sum of 5,000/. Mr. Martin and Mr. Lush appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Jones and Mr. Cowley for the defendant. The agreement which formed the, iiound of the present action was made by the defendant in favour of the plaintiff, who, after retiring from the business of a perfumer bound himself in the above sum not to set up again within a certain distance of London. The plaintiff having, as it appeared, succeeded the defendant in his perfumery establishment in Lsmbard-street, the defendant was alleged to have broken this agreement, and he was now sued for the penalty. It was contended on behalf of the defendant that no specific loss to the plaintiff had been shown to have resulted from his recommencing business, and also that he was not within the distance named. Proceedings were taken in the case last term, when, in virtue of the decision in the case of Malian V. May, where it was held that the word " London," when unqualified, did not include Westminster, the Court ordered the plea of distance to be corrected. Shortly after the opening of the plaintiff's case, his Lord• ship stated it to be his opinion that this question was one of law. It was then agreed that Mr. Jervis should tender a bill of exceptions to his Lordship's ruling, and that, in the mean time, a verdict should be taken for the plaintiff. Verdict for the plaintiff accordingly—Damages, 5,0001. LAWRENCE V. CLARK. This was an action to recover 200/. on a bill of exchange. Mr. Jervis and Mr. Chambers appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. James and Mr. Petersdorff for the defendant. The ground of action arose of a gambling transaction of Lord Waldegrave. His Lordship, it appeared, had lost the sum of three thousand pounds at a gambling-house in Regent-street, called the Strangers' Club, which was kept by a person named Russell. This took place in the year 1842. For the debt thus contracted, he gave I. 0. U.'s amounting to 3,0001. Mr. Russell, having taken these I. 0. U.'s, applied to the defendant, who resides at Thistle grove, Bro►npton, to purchase them of him, assuring him, at the same time, that they had not been won at gambling, and also telling him that he was in negotiation with Mr. Bevan, the attorney of Lord Waldegrave, for the settlement of the debt. The defendant gave Mr. Riissell several bills in con sideration of these I. 0. U.'s. The one now under the consi deration of the Court found its way into the hands of Mr. Lawrence, a horse-dealer and bill discounter, in Oxford street, who now sued the defendant upon it. The action was resisted by the defendant on the ground that the I 0 U's had been obtained by gambling, and that the bills were handed over to the plaintiff without conside ration, and merely for the purpose of the action. The de fendant had put 4x pleas on the record, and the affirmative of issue resting with him, the defendant's case, contrary to the usual course, was first gone into. While the defendant's case was proceeding, an application was made to the Court by Mr. James, for leave to apply to the Court next term to amend the first plea for the purpose of having a new trial, the notice for the production of the bills being insufficient.—The application was acceded to. A verdict was then given for the plaintiff for 212/. 10s., 121. 10s. being the amount duo for interest. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) Their Lordships, this day, gave judgment in six out of nine remanet cases, allowing three to stand over. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL and a Special Jury). PATTERSON V. HOLLAND AND OTHERS. This was an action for the infringement of a patent for the prevention of the oxidation, or rusting of iron, by means of a coating of zinc. The plaintiff's case was not concluded when we went to press. AMERICAN NEWS. EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING. At a late hour last night we received New York papers to the 23d ult., brought by the Queen of the West, Captain Woodhouse, in a passage of twenty days, to whom we tender our thanks for the prompt landing of our papers. It will be recollected that, during Captain AVoodhouse's last visit to this port an attempt was made upon 'his life by one of his crew, and the wound was so dangerous that he was for a long time confined to his hotel; he is now, however, recovered, and visits Liverpool again per fectly restored. The news by this arrival, which extends over seven days, possesses but little interest. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, JAN. 21.

Accounts of Oct. 26, from Van Dieman's Land, and Sept. 4, from New Zealand, have come to hand this mornin. There is nothing of particular interest from Van Dieman"s Land, except that the colonY is represented, both on official and private authority, to be doing rather better. In New Zealand, Captain Fitzroy was still engaged in the adjustment of the flag-staff dispute, though the chief, pre tending to have superior jurisdiction over his countrymen, John Heclire, as he is called, was expected to make some compensation. The port of Russell had been declared free to ships of all nations, and, to meet the complaints of the na tives, all duties are remitted. This will be questionable policy in the opinion of many, but it is difficult, unless upon mature consideration, to give an opinion here. In our remarks upon the duties imposed on one or two im portant articles of daily consumption, such as butter and cheese, the decrease in the consumption was printed as being 50s. to 755. per cent. instead of 50 to 75 per cent. Upon this interesting subject we have now a few additional items fur nished us by the same brokers, Keeling and Hunt. They state that the quantity of butter destroyed by tar, and sold as grease, within the last twenty years, may be calculated from 100 to 150 tons per annum, which, at a reduced duty, might have been consumed as butter, leaving a loss to the importers from twenty to forty per cent., and to the revenue of the difference between the 20s. per cwt. evaded duty as butter and the 2s. per Cwt. duty as grease; THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.

The House of Lords did not sit. The House of Commons sat at a Quarter before Four, and Sir G. CLERK took the oaths, and his seat for Stamford. Various petitions were presented. Mr. W-4.LLACE gave notice of a motion, for the 25th, on the subject of the Customs frauds. The Sergeant-at-Arms reported that an action had been entered against him, by Mr. T. Howard, and The SOLICITOR-GENERAL gave notice of a motion on the subject, for to-morrow. On the motion that the House do resolve itself into a Committee of Supply, - - Captain HARRIS vindicated himself, and the Earl of MALNISBTJRY, from the charges which had been brought against them, of having used undue influence with the Board of Trade, in favour of the Dorchester and Southampton Railway. Mr. ROEBUCK then drew the attention of the House to the circumstances which had occurred at the last election in Montreal ; and after stating that he understood that the thanks of her MAJESTY had been conveyed to the civil and military officers of Montreal, for the part which they had taken in that election, asked if there wo uld be any o bj e cti on t o l a y the dispatch of Lord STANLEY on that subject before the House ? Mr. G. W. HOPE denied that the thanks of her MAJEsTY had been conveyed to those officers. The dispatch, which he had no objection to produce, merely expressed the approbation of the Secretary of State for their endeavours for the preservation of the public peace. Mr. HUME thought the House ought to be put in ( possession of all the circumstances which had caused the recent change in public opinion in Canada. In answer to Mr. CHRISTOPHER, Sir R. PEEL stated that the trustees of the British Museum intended heldirw a meeting on Saturday on the subject of the tiestinction of the Portland Vase. `).!1: .r a t: , , ,, to ti u; rokn - ,:oantz of 9i tt Ltil., an l !i, the revenue of 54,0001. A ten shilling per eft, duty on butter would increase the importation fifty per c 6 the first year of the alteration in duty, and would inereas the export from Ireland to Spain and Portugal, Irish butter, being preferred, and would displace an equal quantity. e! foreign, which would be sent to England. Afi per cwt. duty on cheese would tend to increase the itnP °r 4 from Holland from 40 to 50 per cent., and from America a' e to 100 per cent: The operation upon the price of I p ()3 d articles would, from the preset deficiency of low butter l?' 1 , cheese, increase consumption so as to leave a renaueerainb price to the importer. tiv° The Funds have been a little flatter to-day, a sale, or s lia ,g of Consols, S: , c., having been pressed forward.
