CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium - on gold at Paris is 131 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 178.101 d. per ounce fur standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 49 ;• and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 621, it follows that gold is 0.54 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4.351 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10} ; and the , exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10k, it follows that there is no difference in the price of gold in London and Hamburgh.

BAROMETER, 30.2.—Wurn, N.W. titions which he had presented relative to religious tests in Scotch Universities. The main topic of the evening then came on. The llouse was crowded to excess to hear the charges which Mr. FERRAND was to substantiate against Sir J. GRAHAM and Mr. HOGG. Mr. FERRAND rose, as Members imagined, to adduce proofs in support of the statements which he had made; but, after some unmeaning flourishes, he said the House of Commons was the last tribunal for Englishmen to appeal to for justice, and then walked out of the House. This ludicrous exit of the Tory Member for Knaresborough took the House by surprise. The discussion on his absurd charges, however, was con tinued. 111 r. HOGG vindicated himself against an attack made on him by the Times, in the most success ful manner, and sat down amid loud cheers from all parts of the 1 -7 _ouse. Sir JAMES GRAHAM briefly alluded to the imputa tions cast on himself, and left the matter to the judg- ment of the House. Sir ROBERT PEEL advised the House to let some time elapse before they came to a decision, as any decision they might come to would be regarded as a precedent for future Parliaments. He therefore re commended the adjournment of the discussion. Lord Jorm RUSKIILL had no objection to the ad journment. At the same time, he had no hesitation in stating what was his impression. "With respect to the course which we are called upon to pur sue," said he, "in regard to the Ho nourable and Learned Gentleman the Mem ber for Beverley, I think that that course does not admit of any difficulty. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had read from a newspaper an extract from a speech made by the Hon. Member for Knares borough. We have heard the Hon. Member for Knaresborough state that that report is correct. I think, therefore, with all due deference to other Hon. Members, and more especially to you, Sir, that if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to morrow put in that newspaper, and has the passage real, that the House of Commons then come to a resolution to the effect that an Honourable Member of this House, mentioning, of course, the name of Mr. FERRAND, had acknow ledged himself to be the author of the speech pro duced, and that the House is of opinion that the charge contained in that speech against another Hon. Member of this House, is a false and calumnious charge.—(Cheers.) I, for one, am prepared to take that course.—(Loud cheers.)" Lord STANLEY concurred in the view taken of the question by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and then denounced in strong terms the imputations made by Mr. FER RAND against some of the most Honourable Members of the House. He did not believe that in referring to the charge made against Sir JAMES GRAHAM or Mr. HoGo theie was the smallest difference or shade of difference of opinion in the House. But more than that, he believed the Member who made these "charges had not the slightest ground for believing they were true. This assertion was received with loud cheers. The SPEAKER said, there was no question before the House ; but if the House wished to come to any future determination on the subject, he would recommend that the newspapers which had been ad mitted by the Hon. Member for Knaresborough should be read by the clerk at the table, and then the House should consider what further was to be done. On this understanding, Members left the House almost empty, and the affair will again be brought on this afternoon. Whether Mr. FERRAND will attend is another question. It is altogether a very un toward event. It is lamentable to see men who were the most ardent supporters of the Government but two years ago, now their most bit- ter enemies ; and it is disgraceful to see Englishmen denouncing the policy of Ministers, yet constantly voting with them. If affairs go on in this way the British Parliament will soon become as degraded as the Spanish Cortes. Mr. P. BORTNWICK, another staunch supporter of the Government, appropriately closed the ludicrous scene, by some wild motion about the convocation of the clergy. Neither Whig nor Tory would listen to him, and some humane Member moved that the House be counted ; and, on the SPEAKER announcing that only twenty-seven Members were present, the House adjourned at Seven o'clock. The power of the press, in checking abuses and exposing misconduct, was never shown _in a more J4l rule auatluca 411011 ALI WC caSte OI A LL. k ERRAND ' In the House of Commons, last night. But, for the correct reports which industry and talent supply, Mr. FERRAND might have gone on, propagating lies, and disseminating fasehoods—not possibly of his own making, but certainly, of his own imagining —without fear of being called to an account. Or, if called to an account, without any fear of being bound down to the very words that he uttered ; compelled to avow the speeches he made, and abide by his own oft-re peated assertions ; or eat his own words, and confess himself the speaker of that which had not the reality of truth. The columns of the press bore witness to the dicta of Mr. FERRAND—he could not flinch from them ; but he did flinch from vindicating them, and he slunk, abashed and ashamed, out of the House of Commons, where his presence was no longer wanted, and where it will require strong nerve if he be again seen. But for the public press of Great Britain, Mr. FERRAND might have gone on for years in the course he had adopted and now by the circulation through eN ery portion o!' the British empire of the exposure of hig tricks, a lesson will be read to every man, not to depart from the strict line of rectitude, nor, for mere party pur poses, to deviate into the track of calumny and abuse. How are the mighty fallen ! Alas, that a reformed .House of Commons should only be a bear-garden on a large scale, and that senators should show such plentiful lack of wisdom, as some of them now exhibit. The shade of GEORGE CANNING looks from Palace•yard in disgust upon the proceedings of an assembly which, if something be not done to purify it, will become a mere receptacle for spirits that can exist in no other atmosphere, and whose effervescence can find no other place for exhibition. Well may the rhymer exclaim— " Of old, when Pitt and Fox harangued, the herd Looked on, and voted, but ne'er spoke a word. Now, every whipster on some theme dilates." And dilate as they may, speak as they choose, argufy if they can—none of them ever did, none of them can, exceed the trash which has been talked in that House, by men such as FERRAND, since the year 1841. Did ever man listen to such effusions as those which benches, crowded with Tories, listened to and applauded, when first this chosen tool of Toryism opened upon that side of the House of Commons to put down Mr. COBDEN and the free-traders ? Did any one ever hear such yells of delight, such frantic bursts of joy, as hailed each coarse, each vulgar attack upon every assailant of monopoly ? And was there ever a man, whose most ferocious speeches were greeted with such approbation as the Tory host bestowed upon Mr. FERRAND in the first ses sion of this present Parliament ? He—the anni hilator that was to be, of the Anti-Corn-law League—the destroyer of all free traders—the model, par excellence, of debaters ; and, shame be it spoken, the approved of Conservative statesmen I The petted of the Treasury Bench—the guest of the Premier—the idol of the Tory mob--the adored of the leading journal of Europe, as the great regene rator of our institutions, the reformer of the poor laws, and the corrector of all domestic abuses. Such, if we might believe our eyes and ears, was Mr. PER RAND. This is what he was. Three years have passed —look at the report of the proceedings in the House of Commons last night, and see what he is. And yet Mr. FERRAND has not changed. He re mains what he always was and always will be, a man of low mind, and of coarse feelings. The electors of Knaresborough sought to read a lesson to the House of Commons when they sent him, and they have done it. Toryism sought to use the tool sent to the I rouse for its own party purpose, and Toryism has {lone it. Mr. FERRAND did not see the purpose for which he was sent; he mistook his vocation—he thought ho was born for a senator; it was only for a billsticker, or a whitewasher of walls, with large characters. He was an innocent victim. He ought to be pitied, not condemned. The Tories, who se duced and deluded him, who patted him on the back, who called out as WILLum IV. wrote, " Go it, NED !" double-faced parties reallyle-fac.edgentr3,, they blm ey a hav e A e. their reward like rew all ard; they brought Faun ) int o n o ti ces tiro, encouraged NOTE.—The number 32 on the Thermometer denotes the eezing point, and 55 temperate.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 24, 1844. madness—they now pay for their folly—they have sown the wind, and reap the whirlwind. Young England may boast its ferocious FERRAND, but Old England will look with a disdainful eye upon the employers of men who, though useful to a party at particular times, eternally disgrace any party that uses them. There is nothing so infectious as a row. It is more catching even than the small-pox. Last night's proceedings in both Houses of Parliament form an apt illustration of this assertion, for about the same time that the Commons were aimed with the squabble between Messrs. FERRAND and HOGG, the Lords were engaged in listening to an equally edifying squabble between the Duke of RICHMOND and the Earl of RADNOR. The ruw com menced by the Noble Earl asking his Grace whether a certain pamphlet, published under the auspices of the Pro-Corn-law League, was really sanctioned by them, "for in his opinion, a more dis creditable work never emanated from the press." There was surely no great offence in this question ; yet the Noble Duke instantly fired up at it, and re plied—with as much acrimony as if he himself had been the author of the vituperated pamphlet—that he " felt that the proper course to adopt was not to an swer so paltry a question, further than to say that he thought the work a most excellent one. He thought his Noble Friend was quite as much in error in the present instance, as he was when he last attacked him. The author of the pamphlet was long known, and although of similar politics to the Noble Lord, yet he did not seek to destroy the agriculture of the country. It was true the Noble Lord had taken the chair at a late meeting of the Anti-Corn law League, where he certainly exhibited as a great actor, and therefore it was natural that he should wish to impugn a document which so successfully exhi bited the Anti-Corn-law League in its true colours." This is hard hitting, especially the insinuation that the Noble Earl was one of those who sought to " destroy the agricul ture of the country ;" yet it does not seem to have produced the impression which his Grace evi dently anticipated from it, for the House, instead of laughing, or cheering, or evincing the slightest sym pathy with his disinterested wrath, heard him with the most frigid indifference; and as for the object of all this acrimonious bitterness, he sat by smiling and unconcerned, and apparently entertaining not the slightest notion that the Noble Duke had been endea vouring to extinguish him by his sarcasm ! His Grace nettled, we presume, at the idea of having expended his righteous choler in vain, wound up his philippic by the following alarming threat :—" For his own part he would say, in reply to the observations of his Noble Friend, that he would never leave the Agricul tural Protection Society until they had completely succeeded in putting down the Anti-Corn-law League, than which he believed there never existed in England a more unconstitutional body." This is, in deed, a menace of tremendous significance! Hear it, ye COBDENS and BRIGHTS, and all ye minor lumi naries of the League, his Grace of RICHMOND will never desist from his labours, until he has " succeeded in putting down" your confederacy ! Close as wax will he stick to the Agricultural Protection Society, until he has trampled you, by means of that wonder ful Society, into dust, ground you to atoms, and scattered you to the four winds of hea ven ! We can imagine the consternation that this ducal menace will produce among the members of the Anti-Corn-law League, We can imagine, also, the wailing and gnashing of teeth, and the strewing of sackcloth and ashes on the head, that it will occasion in Covent-garden —the tribulation and despair of the audience, the subdued and faltering tones of the speakers, conscious of their approaching extinction. In mercy to a meek and unoffending confederacy, we implore this tremendous Duke not to carry his dreadful resolution into effect. If it be absolutely necessary to his happiness that he should extinguish some man or body of men, in GOD'S name let it be Sir ROBERT PEEL and the mem bers of her MAJESTY'S Government, and not the Anti- Corn-law League ! What harm has this amiable con federacy ever done to him ? It has never, that we know of, falsely and wickedly accused him of being a statesman of superior capacity ; it has never so far sported with the sacred interests of truth as to express its conviction that he has two ideas in his head ; on the contrary, it has always marlf. a nn-int of doing strict justice both to his motives and his un derstanding; and to our thinking, it seems to be the blackest possible act of ingratitude that he should now strive to blot it out from the book of political life. Accounts from Madrid of the 16th state that the QUEEN, with her mother and sister, would shortly leave for Caldas, a watering-place, about seven leagues from Barcelona, in consequence -of the advice of her physicians. On that day NARVAEZ reviewed 8,000 troops on the plains of A lcoron. Several of the jour nals state that hostile demonstrations are made along the French frontier by the Carli s t s; an d, accor di ng t edePyrennees, severa l C arl i st refugees, who quitted the resid ences ass i gne d to them ot h e furtivelysP h a r in France, have been arrested at Bayonne by the authorities, and forced to return to the depots in the interior of the country. A correspondent, who writes from Perpignan on the 17th, says, the numerous ar rests of Carlist refugees along the French and Spanish frontier, are connected with the discovery which the Spanish Government have made of an extensive con spiracy. The Three per Cents. were done at 36f, for c4sli, and 37 at 60 days; the Four per Cents. at 20 for cash; and the Five per Cents. at 22f fur cash, and 23 at 60 days. present, it should not authorise any new lines, and this has caused the German capitalists to turn their eyes to France." The same journal gives the following curious details in a letter dated Constantinople the $d inst. : " Bad news continues to ,be received from Romelia. The Albanians have withdrawn, it is true, from the environs of Adrianople before some battalions sent against them ; but the country has not been freed from them, and they have gone to carry their pillage and waste to other points. We have already announced that the Minister of Russia had seized on the occasion of a conference with Rifaat Pacha to make some observations on the subject. The Ambassadors of England and France have al s o taken some steps with the Divan. A great number of Bulgarians assembled at Con stantinople have sent in a petition to the Three Powers, praying them to do something with the Porte, and to take the necessary measures to shelter their country from the ravages of the Albanians. Since the beginning of the military reorganisation, deserters from the army and a crowd of young men from the provinces, flying the conscription, had taken refuge in Constantinople. The Government wished to seize on them, and, to arrive at this result, a census of the population was commenced, which was presented as a simple police measure ; complete documents were thus procured as to their number, position, and residence, but the most difficult matter was to seize on them, their numbar not amounting to less than 20,000. The following was Riza-Pacha's plan of battle. We use the word designedly, for the undertaking was perilous. On Thursday morning all Mussulmen were ordered to assemble in the mosques, under pretext of verifying the lists, and all repaired there with confidence. The gates of Constantinople were then shut, the mosques were surrounded with troops and the names were called over. According as any individual marked down by the military authorities for the conscription came forward, he was ordered cut of tt e mosque, seized on, and carried off to a place of safety. In some hours all was finished. The women alone made a pretty sharp resistance. When they understi od that their husbands and sons were thus being carried off, they left the harems, tore off their veils, and as sembled round the mosques, uttering cries, and arming themselves with stones and sticks. Riza-Pacha had some difficulty in escaping, and even left in their hands one of the skirts of his coat. On some points the troops were obliged to give way, and the prisoners escaped. However, the haul was a good one, and only some hundreds got off. A cir cumstance occurred which calls to mind the proceedings of the thieves of Canton, in order to pillage houses and carry off goods, notwithstanding the measures taken by the English to prevent them. All the Albanians who were at Constanti nople having got wind of the matter, hit on a mode of escap ing from it. They got several coffins made, divided them selves into so many sections, placed their arms in the coffins, and every day funerals of some Albanians were seen to defile through the streets of the city; four carried the coffin on their shoulders, the rest followed. They were allowed to pass, and, once outside the walls of Constantinople, they resumed their arms, and took to flight. Not a single one remained in the city. Last Sunday, whilst the Sultan was repairing to the Mosque of Sultan Ahmed, on the anniversary of the Pro. plLet's birthday, a crowd of women met him on his passage, and uttered loud complaints and accusations against Riza- Pacha. It is believed that the measure which lie has just taken, and which has caused great dissatisfaction, will shake his credit with the Sultan." If the Paris Opposition journals are to be believed, considerable discontent prevails in the army. Some weeks since part of a regiment in the gars icon of Paris was shipped off to Africa for an attempt at mutiny; and, according to the National, similar symptoms have manifested themselves in some regiments quar tered in the south. At Toulouse several non-com missioned officers had been arrested, and the regiment to which they belonged had been ordered to proceed to Perpignan, Toulouse being regarded as a place little favourable to the present dynasty. Arrests also had taken place in the Bth regiment of Artillery; which had been marched from Toulouse to Besancon. No cause is assigned for this disaffection. These journals still dwell at considerable length on the Otaheite affair, but from all accounts the public are quite sick of it, and there is little chance of any further discus sion in the Chamber on the subject. On Monday the Chamber of Peers commenced the debate on the Edu- cation Bill, when the Marquis of Boissr attempted to tvert the Chamber from the subject, by putting ques tions to the Government about the dispatches of Ad miral DUPETIT THOUARS. The PRESIDENT called him to order, and the debate proceeded. The KING had left Paris for Dreux, where he was expected to re main for a day. The Funds continue firm. On Mon day the Five per Cents. closed at 1221. 40c., and the Threes at 83f. 70e. The Arnzoricain of Brest thus adverts to the visit of the Prince DE JOINVILLE to that place "On Tuesday, the 18th, his Royal Highness inspected the transatlantic steam-packets Christophe Colombo and Canada. The Prince then went through every department of the Arsenal, examining all the details with great precision. He afterwards went out to the roadstead, and inspected the naval school on board the Borda. Not being expected, the pupils were engaged at their different studies and occupations. He would not allow them to be interrupted, but went down among them, and while they were at work examined their progress, and required an account of the conduct of each. The report made to him being very favourable, he requested As a personal favour that all those under punishment should be pardoned. Cimmander Predour replied that he could not accede to the gracious request of his Royal Highness, for it happened that there was not a single pupil in the predica ment of availing himself of it. The Prince expressed his satisfaction, and declared that be would consider of some other means of showing his gratification. He then proceeded to the Pluton, on board of which he was to make his excur • sien. On Wednesday he went out in the Canada, accom panied by the Christophe Colombe, to make the trial trip, and was, it is said, fully convinced of the superior powers of their engines. On Thursday he embarked in the Pluton and sailed for Rochefort." We subjoin additional extracts from the papers :—.- "A report having been current that an influential banking company had applied to the Government for the concession of laying down the rails and working the railroad from Paris to Strasburg by the valley of the Marne, a body of deputies ' of all opinions, says the Courrier Francais, proceeded to the Minister of Public Works, and afterwards to the President of the Council, to rnpiest that no decision should be come to as to the direction to be taken, until the whole of the surveys and inquiries prescribed by the law should have been com pleted. They required also that the subject of the direction should, as had been determined on with respect to otherlines, be submitted to the judgment of the Superior Committee ap pointed by a preceding Minister before it was laid before the Chambers. Both Ministers assured those gentlemen that their suggestions should be taken into serious consideration.

It having been made generally known in the neigh bourhood of this Court that the Wizard of the North, or in other terms, Mr. Anderson, now performing at the Adelphi Theatre, had been summoned for the cost of a new hit, alleged to have been damaged during the per formance at the Adelphi, by reason of tke said Wizard having baked a plumb pudding therein, every avenue was densely crowded. The plaintiff; a gawky , and unwieldy farmer, named Fogton, upon being called on to state the grounds of his claim, produced from a sporting pattern silk hand kerchief, the " Londen made," in question, which cer tainly bore every evidence of queer culinary treatment, it being literally marked on the outside with dabs of paste, and within, and upon the white kid lining smears of the yolk of an egg, most pertinaciously kept their place as if in readiness to perfect that adhesion to the head necessary upon a windy day. "I am a- thinkin this be enough ground Mustor Sirs," said Ft turning over his hat w ith a mos t lugu brious countenan ce , w hi c h convu l se d t h e C ourt . "Y e ma y laugh —and laugh yer fill, but it am I that can join yer, a s h ow I payed a couple of shillings to see the best bran new nnwbeaver spoilt, b es id es t h e gu i nea f or the hat. " ceun tryman was e% id t n tly wor ki ng hi mse lf rip into a state of forensic madness, but the Wizard , stepped before him, and the laughter was sue oeeded by the moat• respeettul silence. With great blandnes s o f maihner the Wizard ad dressed the Commissioner, wh o appeared to be r a th er fidgetty at the near approxunatten of one to whom is attributed more than mortal . It powers, lie stated that he had no excuse whatever to otrer awnsas,oit;nntriyn: advertence. The hat had b een returned to the man in the second seats by his "familiar," harry of the performance, without th e usual and in n eee th s e eau cabalistic words being mentally muttered over it, reitore it to its original purity. He was sorry, veil ' so: ry, and as soon as he had heard of it—for the man had made no complaint at the period of the performance —he had hastened to rectify the effects of his forgetful- ness. Added he, " Will the Commissioners and the plaintiff be satisfied with a hat equal in every respect to what that one was ere it entered the theatre 2:: "A very fair proposition, but t he costs— " I," replied the Wizard, " will pay the costs." The countryman smiled content, and at this moment the Commissioner had got the hat in his hand, about to toss it over the long green baize-covered table, when the Wizard, suddenly producing a small ivory wand, pointed . it at the hat, said, in a mild and gentlemanly tone, "It : Were as well, if it be returned at all, it should be returned zany." i to the astonishment of all present, this was the case, " 461 7 particle of egg, flour, and the other gastronomic matter with which the hat was bedaubed, had disappear• ed, and the brilliancy, yet smoothness of the chapeau, could scarcely hare been greater had it but just left the bands of the most fashionable of hatters.

There is only one place in London where it could be seen with advantage, as St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey are closed to it—we mean the hall of the Re form Club House. If the trustees, of whom Sir John Hobhouse is one, would place this statue of England's greatest modern poet, from the chisel of Europe's great sculptor, in the Reform Club, honour would be done to the poet, the sculptor's fame would be ex tended, and the attractions, which Mr. Barry has given to the Reform Club, would be increased. It is impossible to read the proceedi ngs a t th e WoodstOck election, on Monday, without a strong feeling of indignation against the conduct of the Duke of Marlborough. Without assuming all the statements made on that occasion to be accurate (in truth, we know that accuracy is rarely to be looked for io rival speeches at contested elections), there does appear to be sufficient foundation for the very grave charges made against the Duke, to call at least for denial or explanation on his part. If the charges be left unrefuted, we must say that they leave a most unenviable reputation we believe, that of no other so conspicuous member of the aristocracy of England could such tales of heartlessness be told with any semblance of truth. We shall be very glad to learn that the Marquis of Blandford, in his promised re • searches on the subject, succeeds in either refuting or reme dying the hardships complained of. The conduct of that young nobleman, on the occasion referred to, evinced both discretion, talent, and good sense. We trust his future con duct will be in accordance with this early promise. But we feel bound to say, that the disclosures both of the Rev. Mr. ' Bowles and of Mr. Humphrey present a strango practical commentary upon the character of the man whose name was placed by the Standard newspaper at the head of a lay address upon the subject of the Oxford theology. Wherever our divines study the doctrines of religion, we would strongly recommend them to keep as far aloof as possible from the Marlborough school in their tenets touching the duties of a possessor of pr:perty professing to be a Christian. —Post. THE WILLS .FORGERS. — lmmediately after the sen tences were passed on the convicts Barber, Fletcher, Sanders, Mrs. Dorey, and Lydia Sanders, they were reconveyed to the different wards of the prison, and kept as they were before the trial, separate. The only time they saw each other was when brought up into the Court, and then they held no com munication with each other. Since the sentence has been passed, Barber entertains the same confident hopes as he did before and during the trials, that he shall yet be at liberty; and when he was found guilty, and after he was sentenced, his counsel was heard to remark that the verdict would not stand, and that the sentence would not be carried into effect ; and the necessary steps, it is stated, are already being taken foi. the purpose of preparing a case to be laid before Sir James Graham, and thereby to obtain, through the Right Hon. the Secretary of State, her Majesty's free pardon. It is also un derstood that, as no proof was given as to the forgeries of the different wills, that a question on this point will be raised, so as to obtain the opinion of the Judges. Even on this the friends of Barber are sanguine that the result will be favour able, and terminate in the indictment being quashed Fletcher, who entertains no such hopes as his fellow convict, is, from his state of health, expected not to survive a very long period of time, for since his cOunnittal his disease, that of an affection of the heart, his increased. The other con victs, particularly the two females, consider they have been most mercifully dealt with, and it has been remarked, that from the time of the committal up to yesterday, Mr. Dorey has not been once to see his wife, nor have any of the parties been visited by any one except their professional advisers ; and, although kept separate from each other, not a- single impriry was made by any one after each other; the only in stance of anything like sympathy being exhibited, was when Mrs. Sanders heard the jury find her guilty. She burst into a violent flood of tears when her sister took her by the hand, and Sanders put his left arm round his wife's waist. They both begged of her to be composed and to bear her fate with fortitude. Should the intended application on behalf of Barber prove unsuccessful, the three male convicts will directly afterwards be removed to the Millbank Prison, pre paratory to their being sent to New South Wales. ALMACK'S.—Yesterday there was a rehearsal of Tolbecque and Collinet's full band at Willis's Rooms. The ladies' patronesses are exercising every care for the gather ing of a splendid galaxy of rank and fashion to-morrow night, in honour of her Majesty's birthday. The Mar chioness of Londonderry, who has just returned from Paris, with the Countess of Jersey and Viscountess Palmerston, are the only ladies who can grant tickets for that night, and it is needless to remark the influence possessed by them will alone insure a brilliant essemblage of the aristocracy. The applications for the entree are exceedingly numerous. As the Queen Dowager's evening party is announced to be " early" many of the distinguished personages after paying their respects to that illustrious ornament to our Royal Family, will make Almack's their rendezvous afterwards, more par ticularly as there is no other private entertainment to inter fere with the ball. DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A FRENCH CAPTAIN.- This morning the French brig St. Jean, from Gravelines, arrived at Fenning's wh ar f, having on board the body of the Captain, Victor Lavalee, who hung himself on board at Half way Reach. The vessel arrived at Gravesend yesterday afternoon at one o'clock, loaded with eggs. The captain, who was well known to the tide-waiters for upwards of twenty years, appeared in low spirits while the vessel was making up the river. At eight o'clock he went into his cabin, as the crew supposed, to retire to rest. About half an hour after, Cairnes, one of the tide-waiters, went to the companion-way leading to the cabin, and attempted to get his bed down. Finding some stoppage, he looked about and discovered the deceased hanging b y his neck by a silk handkerchief to an iron catch, used in fastening the companion-way. He was cut down, and found to be quite dead. Deceased was forty five years of age, and has left a wife and large family at Gravelines. He was part owner of the vessel and cargo. The body was removed this morning to St. Olave's work house, to await an inquest. INSTITUTION FOR THE PROTECTION AND EMPLOY'. NEXT OF THE DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN IN LONDON,-- Her most Gracious Majesty the Queen, and his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, have both been pleased to pa tronise the grand vocal and instrumental concert to be given on Friday evening next, at the Theatre Royal Covent- Garden, in aid of the funds of this benevolent institution, where a phalanx of talent will he brought forward that must ensure an overflowing house.

PONTOP AND SOUTH SHIELDS RAlLWAY.—Yester day a special meeting of this Company was held at the office, in Guildhall-buildings, M. B. Rennie, Esq., in the chair, for the purpose of obtaining the assent of the pro prietors to a Bill now in Parliament, the provisions of which are to give the Company power to widen about five miles of their line, to accommodate the traffic of the Newcastle and Darling:on Railway, also to enable them, if they think proper, to lease the same line; also to make a more con venient branch to connect the Brandling Junction than exists at present, and to limit their capital if they find more than sufficient. After a few observations, it was proposed by the Chairman, " That the meeting do approve of the said Bill," which was seconded by Mr. Htimphry,. a n d agreed* , wuuninqusly.

Who can wonder that hundreds cannot gain admission to the Magic Temple of the WIZARD OF THE NORTH ? He has waved his mystic wand for the fourth time over the Great Metro. polis ; its influence is greater than when he that appeared at the Strand Theatre four years ago—he has now performed during five years 510 nights (at a moderate calculation) before 4,0,00 spec- talon !—one and all proclaim him to be the only living professor of Scientific Delusions. Were the Magi of old—Pythagorus, Polydoras, Did., Paracelsus, Jerome Carden, Bcnevenuto, Cellini, Nostradamus, Michael Scott, Alburtus Magnus, Friar Bacon, and Dr. Faustus to look up and be hold the WONDERS OF THE WIZARD, they would be as much au- prised as our great gransfathers would be to look on our locomotive of the present day. The Modern Faustus will nightly appear in his Magic Circle, and prove by ocular demonst-ation, that he can make the " eyes the fools of the other senses."

The Earl of RADNOR made some remarks on a pamphlet published under the auspices of the Pro-Corn-law League, which he described as the most discreditable publication that had ever emanated from the press. The Duke of RICHMOND considered the pamphlet a most excellent production, and said he never would leave the Agricultural Protection Society until they had completely put down the Anti-Corn-law League, the most unconstitutional body that ever existed in England. He considered the pamphlet as good as his Noble Friend considered it bad. The House adjourned at Seven o'clock. In the Commons, after some routine business, and the presentation of petitions, Sir R. PEEL laid on the table certain papers relative to the late events in Greece, and spoke in terms of admiration of the Pe°' ple of that country, who, under very critical cir cumstance, bad established the principles of free re presentative government combined with a limited monarchy. Mr. Fox MAITLE gave notice that he would, on Tuaday next, 4,11 tho attention of tho House to pe- SUMMARY OF NEWS AND tittbitt Cptuton. " Who runs may read." ronExas. The Courrier Francais states that the number of convicts condemned to the gullies during a period of sixteen years, from 1822 to 1837, amounted to 14,082 ; amongst whom 9,117 were received at Toulon, 3,193 at Brest, and 1,772 at liochfort. The King of Prussia, says a letter of the 12th instant, from Berlin, has granted permission to Dr. Lindner, one of the pro fessors extraordinary of the university of that capital, to give a course of lectures on the advantages of oral testimony in open court, and the trial by jury. This measure, adds the writer, has raised a hope that our Government will at last de cide upon granting to the nation these two great guarantees for an equitable administration of justice. From Frankfort we learn that the Easter fair had been brisker than for many years previous for all manufactures, but especially cotton, which was dearer. A letter from Coleah, in Algeria, by the last mail, states that in spite of the prejudices of the Arabs, Dr. Smith has succeeded in inducing them to allow the introduction of vac cination. At Coleah, and its environs, 227 children have al beady been vaccinated. The Augsburgh GazeVe has the following from Rome, April 9 :—" The special tribunal of Bologna has just delivered its judgment against some of the recent promoters of disturbance of the second class. Some have been sentenced to perpetual imprisonment., and others to various periods of confinement of from sto 25 years." The same journal states from St. Pe tersburgh that the Circassians are making great preparations to resist the forces of Russia, and that the troops of the for mer amount to 90,000 men, command, d by French and Po lish officers. LAW AND POLICE. In the Consistory Court on Tuesday, the case of Dysart v. Dysart came on for hearing. This was a suit for restitution of conjugal rights, instituted by the Earl of Dysart against his Countess, which was met by her Ladyship with a plea of cruelty charged by her against her husband. The pleadings, which are of great length, occupied a considerable part of the day ; the case was then opened on the respective sides, and the rest of the day passed in hearing and deciding upon ob jections to various letters offered as exhibits in the cause. The argument will commence next court day. At Unibn-hall Elizabeth Godfrey, a respectable- looking young woman, was brought befot e Mr. Trail!, charged with attempting to commit suicide. Policeman 132 L stated that while on duty that morning, at one o'clock, he observed a young female walking along Waterloo-bridge apparently in a very dejected condition. He could hear her sobbing as she went along, and when she thought she was unobserved, she retired into one of the recesses, and commenced taking off her bonnet and shawl, and then ascended the seat, and was in the act of clambering over the parapet for the purpose of throwing herself into the river, when he immediately hastened up and pulled her back. The prisoner expressed her regret and promised to return to her sister, if permitted. The Magistrate, however, required sureties, and she was locked up. After the night charges had been disposed of, Daniel Dearlove, a young man, was placed at the liar before Mr. Henry, at Lambeth-street, on a cha rge o f enteing the dwell ing -house of his uncle, Mr. James Dearlove, and stealing therefrom bonds, bills of exchange, Bark of England notes, and other property to a very considerable amount. The cir cumstances of the robbery have already been described. The prisoner, with the advice of Mr. Pelham, who attended for him, declined saying anything in his defence, and was remanded to a future day. Yesterday Thomas Horn, John Ruddick, William Southin, and William Smith, four " cads" or " hangers-on" of omni buses, were brought up at Hammersmith Police-court, on warrants for having assaulted Robert Haggerstone, a con ductor, in the employ of the Hammersmith Conveyance Com pany. The assault having been proved against Ruddick, Mr. Paynter said, such improper proceedings on the part of persons connected with omnibuses would lead him to deter mine, in all future cases brought before him, to impose the highest penalty the law allowed. There was not the slightest accusation made against the conductor Haggerstone. An assault had been clearly proved against the defendant Ruddick, whom he should tine 20s. and costs; but the other defendants must be discharged, there being no evidence against them. COVET—WASHIONABLE. The Earl of Lonsdale gave a splendid dejeuner on Tuesday at his house in Carlton House-terrace, after the marriage ceremony of his niece and Mr. Talbot Clifton, to a distin guished party, consisting of the Marquis of Worcester, the Earl and Countess of Jersey, and Lady Clementina Villiers, the Earl of Besborough and Lady Ilarriet Ponsonby. the Hon.

The subscribers to Art-linions in Dublin have been thrown into a state of great commotion by the opinion pronounced upon their illegality; but console themselves with the idea that a short Bill will be presented during the session to set the matter right. Certainly the plan, as a mode of encourag ing the arts, has been found very useful in Ireland, where an adequate stimulus is otherwise much wanting. The whole of the troops in Ireland will be under arms on the 25th instant, and will tire three rounds at one o'clock, in honour of her Majesty's birthday. The usual monthly meeting of the Incorporated Society for Promoting the Enlargement, Building, and Repairing of Churches- and Chapels, was held at 4, St. Martin's-place, on Monday last; his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury in the chair. There were also present the Bishops 01 London, Chester, Bangor, Carlisle, Hereford, Ely, Ripon, Gloucester and Bristol, Durham, and Salisbury, Sir R. H. Inglis, Bart, M.P., the Revs. Dr. Spry, H. H. Norris, J. Jennings, and B. Harrison. Among other business transacted at the meeting, grants were voted towards the erection of 13 additional churches and chapels. An overture, says the Brighton Guardian has been made to provide at Horsham for the shut-out Solicitor-General, for this Parliament or Session, on the condition that no opposition should be offered by the Tories on the next occasion to Mr. Hurst's return, or the return of his nominee, should that gen tleman not then desire to go into Parliament. What degree of credit is due to the rumour, or from which party the overture proceeded, or how it was received, we cannot undertake to say; but we feel it our duty to put the constituents on their guard by stating it, and this caution seems the more neces sary, as the rumour appears to a certain extent to explain the delay which has taken place in moving for the writ to fill up the void in the representation. SALE OF MADAME VESTRIS'S THEATRICAL WARD ROBE.—Yesterday at noon a sale by auction was commenced and completed at the auction-rooms, Great Marlborough street, as announced in the catalogue, of "a part of the theatrical wardrobe of an eminent actor and actress," the property, as generally stated in the auction-room, of Madame Vestris and Mr. Matthews. The lots consisted of a large assortment of very elegant dresses, shawls, &c., which were worn by that eminent actress in some of her most celebrated characters. There was a very short notice of the sale, the effect of which was there were but few of the theatrical corps present. There were 65 lots, amongst which were 36 dresses and 15 shawls, besides scarfs, riding-habits, gowns, &c., an embroidered Cashmere cloak, a black velvet ditto, an Indian satin ditto. Twelve muslin and cotton dresses sold for 2/. ; a black satin dress and ditto embroidered shawl for 2/. 2s. ; an embroidered Cashmere cloak and two slips for 195.; .a very elegant velvet dress, richly trimmed, for 2/. ; a piece of net muslin and lace, and a blonde skirt, which was stated to be worth about 101., for IL ss. ; and various others at an average loss. A superfine court dress coat and a pair of breeches fetched only 18s.: the auctioneer said that the coat was worth 5/., the first bidding for it was 7s. The property produced about 761., which, it was stated, was not a fifth part of the value. The principal buyers were of the Hebrew persuasion. IBERNIAN SCHOOL SOClETY.—Yesterday a sale of ladies' useful and ornamental work, drawings, poor's clothes, &c., was held at the Queen's Concert Room, Hanover-square, on behalf of the Ladies' Hibernian Female Society. Amongst the patronesses were—the Duchess of Beaufort, the Marchioness of Bath, the Marchioness of Water ford, the Marchioness of Thomond, the Marchioness of Aber corn, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, the Countess of Gal loway, the Countess of Shannor, the Countess of Bandon,- the Countess o f Sandwich, the Countess of Pomfret, the Viscountess Sydney, the Viscountess Canning,. the Vis countess Hill, the Viscountess Jocelyn, the Lady Louisa Finch, the Lady Ashley, the Hon. Mrs. Ashley, the Hon. Mrs. A. Lefrov, the Hon. Mrs. Westby, and the Hon. Miss Waldegrave. It was stated that, upon the result of the sale the continuance of many . of the Female Hibernian Schools would depend. .At present. 207 schools were in connexion with the Society, containing upwards of 13,000 scholars, a great proportion of whom were the children of Roman Catho lics. The sale is to be continued this day. We are bound to notice Mr. liogg's explicit de ciaration that he never applied , to Government, in any way, direct or indirect, through any channel, for any office what ever, excepting with one insignificant and merely routine ex ception—viz., his contributing his interest to an application for a gauger's place. Nothing can, be more decisive than this, and we are glad that our question hits elicited from him so explicit a contradiction. The report did not, however, originate with ourselves, butwas, it will be remuMberOcit Ines" tined i l l the Ampere SlMlller.•‘• Tim*. On Monday the King of the French left Versailles for Dreux, an ancient town about fifty miles south-west of Paris, and was to return on Wednesday. - Preparations are already making for the removal of th. Royal family to Neuilly in the beginning of May. We read in the Armoricain of Brest, of the 18th :--"Cap tain Dutaillis, of the Ariane, which is destined for Otaheite. has just been summoned again to Paris by telegraphic dis patch. We are lost in conjectures at this proceeding, at the moment when he was only waiting to get under weigh for the arrival of Admiral Hamelin, who was to go out in the Ariane. Everything leads to a belief that there is to be impor tant modifications in the instructions which this ship is to carry to the Pacific. The Heroine corvette, which is fitting out with the greatest activity, is also destined for Otaheite and the Marquesas." We learn tcom Belgrade, April 6, that sixty of the persons in prison in Servia, for political offences, the total number of whom is said to be nearly NO, have been condemned to death. Amongst them are the ex-Minister Rajewitsch, and several Senators. THIS _DAY'S NE VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir JAams KNIGHT V. )lUNDAY.
