The two traversers had the common design of inducing the soldiers, when called upon to check an outbreak, to decline doing so. Mr. O'Connell declared in several of his speeches, that while he lived there should be.no outbreak, but that after his death he left to others to pursue their own line of conduct. This was a pretty exposition of his opinion of the state of the country, and of the danger which would be the result of the agitation. Mr. O'Connell had thought fit to put in his address to the people to tell them he had the authority of the " Tory Lord Chief Justice for saying that the law had done everything for the landlord." A more monstrous perversion of the real facts of the case could not have taken place, because on the authority alluded to—Delap v. Leonard. the Chief Justice only alluded to one particular Act as being in favour of the landlord ; and even there the decision of the Court was in favour of the tenant. The Learned Counsel then animadverted on other meetings of the Repeal Association, but his speech possessed little in terest. He had not finished at five o'clock, when the Court rose, and will consequently resume his address on Friday morning. PETER PARLEY'S NEW WORKS. Our readers will be gratified to learn that the in imitable Peter Parley, whose works for the young have long enjoyed an unprecedented popularity, lately en- tered into an engagement with Messrs. Darton and Clark to produte a series of new works, to be published exclusively by them. The following is Peter Parley's own letter on the subject " Gentlemen,—lt is now understood between us that I am to prepare a series of books, of which you are to be the publishers. I undertake the task with pleasure, because it is my wish to be judged in England by what I do write, and not by what has been written for me. I have been much vexed, since my arrival in this coun try, to see the name of Peter Parley attached to a num ber of books which I never saw or heard of, and which contain much of which I wholly disapprove, and con sider to be contrary to good morals. "It is, therefore, a real satisfaction to me, that my future works are to make their appearance in England in a genuine form. I shall not fail to keep in view that I am now writing for English readers, and I trust I may thereby render what I write more worthy of the kind reception which, with all their disadvantages, my pre vious works have met with. " I am, Gentlemen, yours truly, " S. E. GOODRICH." Four New Works from the pen of Peter Parley, de cidedly the best he has yet written, have been published by Messrs. Dayton and Clark, in terms of the above en gagement. The titles of these charming productions are— I. Persevere and Prosper; or, The Life of a Sable Hunter. 2". Cheerful Cherry; or, Make the Best of It. 3-•Wil Bought; or, The Life and Adventures of Robeit Merry. 4. What to Do and How to Do It; or, Men and Manner/ To be followed by others. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert still continue in the strictest privacy. • • The Ecclesiastical Commission for England had a meeting Yesterday afternoon, at the office in Whitehall-place. The ikitfnissipners‘present were the Bishop of Exeter, the Bishop QC:Lichfield, - the Bishop. of Ripon, the Bishop of Salisbury, .*arfilthe Dean Of Westminster. Mr. Walter ilulme had an interview with Lord Stanley at the Colonial-office yes terday. Mr. Sergeant Jones had also an interview with his Lordship yesterday. Wallace- had an interview with the Chancellor of the The Danish Minister transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. Sir James Graham had an interview with Sir Robert Peel yesterday. Dispatches. from the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, and also from the Governor of Newfoundland, were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. The Postmaster-General had an interview with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer yesterday. THE EARL OF CARLDILE.—Aceounts were received at his Lordship's town .residence, ,in Grosvenor-place, yesterday morning, that.the Noble Earl had passed a quiet night, and ,was slightly better. e. Pix OF THE MINT.—A meeting of the Privy Council was - Aida at the office of the ,Comptroller of the Exchequer, in Whitehall, yesterday morning, for the trial of the Pix of the Royal Mint. The Lord Chancellor arrived and took his seat at half-past 10 o'clock. Lord Monteagle, Comptroller of the Exchequer, accompanied by the Right Honourable W. E. Gladstone, Master of the Mint, arrived soon afterwards, and presented to the Noble and Learned Lord the ancient trial plates to be used on the present occasion. The Lord Privy Seal, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Secretary at War, arrived soon afterwards. The Jury, which was composed of Members of the Gold smiths' Company, were sworn to make the assay of the moneys of the gold and silver coinage, and truly report if they were of the proper weight and fineness, according to the standard for coins. The Lord Chancellor stated to the Jury that since the last trial of the pix of the Mint, between March, 1842, and Dec., 1843, upwards of twelve millions of gold, and near half a million of silver, had been issued from the Mint. The speci mens of these coinages the Jury would examine with the usual tests, to prove the fineness and weight, for the purpose of ascertaining whether they corresponded with the standard. From every 151bs. weight of bullion coined at the Mint, two pieces were selected from the mass of pieces coined ; one was given to the Assayer of the Mint, the other two were put into the pix, which was inclosed in a box, se cured by three keys; one key being in the possession of the Master of the Mint ,one in the possession of the Comptroller of the Exchequer, and one in the possession of the Assay Master. This box was not opened until a trial of the coinage had been ordered by the warrant of the Sovereign. The specimens in this pix the Jury would compare with trial plates of gold and silver kept in Westminster Abbey, under the keys of the Lords of the Treasury and of the Comptroller of the Exchequer, and would test if they cor responded in point of purity with the trial plates. His Lordship having stated the proper standard of gold and silver, explained that a certain deviation of gold as to weight and fineness was allowed to the Master of the Mint, and — a deviation was also allowed as to silTe;. Cases of ex cess, too, might be set off against deficiency by the Master of the Mint in his accounts with the Crown ; such, however, had been the uniform accuracy of the officers of the Mint, that there was no instance on record in which the allowed deviation had been exceeded by the Mint. On the last oc casion of the trial of the pix there was scarcely any deviation. The jury, however, were not to rely upon the skill a n d care of the officers of the Mint, but must carefully and accurately discharge their duty. On the last occasion the Jury had applied, that on any future occasion the assay, instead of being made in the office of the Comptroller of the Exchequer, where the accommo dation was inconvenient, should be made in Goldsmiths' Hall; and his Lordship had acceded to that request. Before commencing operations, therefore, the Jury should cut off a portion of the trial plates, to take with them to the Hall, and then return the plates to the proper officcr. The former Jury had also pointed out that in a case where the Mint was on its trial, the scales of the Mint should not be used; his Lordship had, therefore, ordered other scales. At the conclusion of the Lord Chancellor's address, the Foreman of the Jury invited his Lordship to dine with the Goldsmiths' Company at their Hall in the evening. The Noble and Learned Lord, however, declined the invitation on account of being extremely indisposed. The Foreman also invited the Duke of Buccleuch and all theother Privy Coun sellors present. The Lord Chancellor appointed trom five uptil half-past six o'clock in the House of Lords for the reception of the Report of the July; but, if beyond the latter hour, his Lord ship would receive the report at' his private residence in George-street. The Jury, by their Foreman, thanked his Lordship for his attention and the adoption of their suggestions. • Their Lordships then adjourned.

Morning • 46 mluutes after .5 j Evening .. 8 minutes after 6, tection of Agriculture, to be formed in London. Some names have been mentioned . of Members of both. Houses of Parliament; who to take a leading part in this Association; if anything of the kind be on foot, it would be well that the honest and zealous friends of Protection should be on their guard against the possible construction of a Society which, under the name of protection for agri culture, might, in reality and truth, be merely a protection for Ministerial policy." In another part of the same , article our Contemporary repeats . his warning to the Monopolists in these terms :—" The agriculturists of England cannot le too cautious not to fetter themselves in any way. Those to whom they trusted in 1841 have as yet done nothing to show that their championship may be confided in." It is clear from this that, notwith standing his late declaration in Parliament that he contemplated not the slightest alteration in the exist ing corn-law, the Monopolists have no great confi dence in Sir ROBERT PEEL. They still regard him with as much distrust as ever, knowing well that when expediency forces him to alter his views, and to regard the sliding -scale in a different light to that in which he now views it, he will not hesitate to snake a sacrifice of the few tattered shreds of consist ency that still remain to him. We deny not—we never have denied —that the Premier is placed in a peculiarly difficult position, and that, turn which way he will, he is beset with obstructions of no ordinary character; still, it must be borne in mind that his diffi culties are in a great degree of his own creation, and that if he be now hampered at every step of his pro gress, it is wholly in consequence of Ms own timid, tortuous policy. Had he adopted a decided, ener getic course of action when he first took the reins of Government in 1841, instead of flirting— like a political coquette as he is, now with one party and now with another, paying unmeaning attentions to both, and winning the affections of neither, he would not have been in the situation in which he at present finds himself. His majorities might have been less in Parliament, but they would have been more steady —more worthy to be relied on ; and though he would have had fiercer enemies, he would have had warmer and stauncher friends. When ALEXANDER found, after several strenuous endeavours, that he could not untie the. Gordian knot, he at once adopted the bold resolution of cutting it with his sword ; and in a similar energetic spirit should Sir ROBERT PEEL have acted with the Monopolists. When he found that he could not make them amenable to reason —that they slighted all his attempts to engage them in an enlightened course of policy, and would persist in adhering to their own narrow prejudices, he should at once have cut all connection with them, and boldly thrown himself into the arms of the Liberal party. He might possibly have lost by this conduct for a season, but he would have gained by it in the long run, for he would have had an ardent, grateful, and confiding people at his back, and they would have taken good care to see him handsomely through his difficulties. No really honest statesman ever yet appealed —or ever will appeal —to his countrymen in vain. CnaTnass did so when the KING and the aris tocracy were both leagued against him—and his ap peal was triumphantly answered. His far inferior son did so, when Fox, with his Coalition Ministry, was all-powerful in the House of Commons, and com manded a majority in the Lords—and his appeal, also, was successful. Earl GREY did so, when a selfish, dominant aristocracy arrayed itself in des perate hostility to the Reform Bill—and his appeal, too, was triumphantly replied to by the people. But all these were statesmen of lofty, energetic character; and the most obsequious flatterer of our present Premier will scarcely go the length of stating that he has one single particle of energy or decision in his nature. No, he is a pliant, submissive waiter on the chapter of accidents a methodistical worshipper at the shrine of expediency, who, even if he see the right course to pursue, dare not for his life pursue it. His sole object seems to be, to main tain himself in power, and let things take their own course, without putting himself to the trouble of directing them. He will not side boldly with the Monopolists—for his late declaration is a mere feint— and he will not side boldly with the Free-traders ; but he stands hesitating between two bundles of motives, like the long-eared animal in the fable. He is the Pau/watts of the State-vessel, who, trusting to the present 'serene aspect of the weather, nods at the helm, when he should be busy directing her course into the appointed haven. Well, this state of things cannot last long, and the instant the winds begin to roar, and the waves to rise, right overboard will go the inactive, drowsy pilot, to be cast, helpless and hopeless, on the bleak, inhospitable coast of Oppisition. 0 nimium pelag o et cxlo confine sereno, Nudus in ignota, Palinurejacebis arena!" We have little to add to the intelligenee already published, and the extracts of this day from the Spain. The liberty of the French papers respecti ng press at Madrid was said to be destroyed, and all journalists were threatened with prosecution who should write about the rising at Alicant, but of these we see no proofs in the journals. The ,Eco del Com mercio is more violent than at any former period, and exhorts all who love their country rather to die in the cause than submit to oppression. " Threatened in our personal safety," it says, "and confiding in their physical strength, they struggle face to face against devotedness and patriotism. A horrible struggle, in which the liberty and the fate of Spain are made the stakes struggle in which we are de termined to die, as are all who have at heart the love of liberty, and who know how to defend to the utter most the Constitution which is threatened by the Mus sulman sabre of a cursed power. May the curses of all good Spaniards —may the brand of ignominy fall on the heads of whoever recedes one pace, or who giVes way either from weakness or fear before the persecution of the tyrants. Let us repulse the blows directed against the sanctity of our institutions, and if we must perish in the defence of so noble a cause, we will have avengers and imitators." Friday the 2d inst. being a holiday at Madrid, no business was done in the funds. ... The alarming intelligence from Spain has caused much excitement in Paris, and furnished topics for all the papers. Most of them, especially those favour able to the Government, comment on the occurrences at Alicant and St. Sebastian with much caution, and evidently wait for further news, and possibly also to ascertain the views of the Court, while those of the Opposition regard the outbreak as the commencement of a general rising against the Government of NAR VAEZ and GorizApEs BRAVO. The National and the Siecle are justly most indignant against the ar bitrary and violent conduct pursued ever since the downfal of ESPARTERO. " Whom," it asks, " have they arrested—Lopaz, CORTINA, and MADOZ, the most eminent men in Spain, those who procured the expuliion of ESPARTERO and through whose good offices ,the majority of the- QUEEN was declared. The mask has now fallen, and the counter-revolution is exposed to view. The Moderado party Ras launched, at all risks, on the. ocean of violence, and its first act is more violent than all other despotic Governments have ventured on doing." " There is this difference," says the Siecle, " between the conduct of the ex-Regent ESPARTERO and the present Camarilla, that the letter, if not the spirit of the Constitution was re spected by one, and both are despised and derided by the other. Spain is again delivered to all the horrors of civil war, and the whole country cries out against a dictatorship which is without talent, dignity, or grandeur." The Commerce and the France malig nantly accuse England of instigating the insurgents; but the opinions of men who can state such wicked, such ungenerous falsehoods, are utterly unworthy of notice. The following telegraphic dispatches have been received by the French Government, one of which leaves no doubt that NARVAEZ, after having abiogated the Constitution, and put an end to the Cortes, is resolved to disarm the National Guards, and establish a military despotism : TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES. " BAYONNE, FEB. 4. " In the evening of yesterday the disarming of the National Guard of Irun and St. Sebastian was effected without opposition. It is said that this is a general mbasure, taken in virtue of an order of Government which reached on the 2d."

The Bill entitled " Actions for Penalties on Gaming Discontinuance Bill," was, on the motion of Lord BROUGHAM, read a third time and passed. On the motion of the same Noble Lord, a re turn of the number of appeals heard, and remaining to be heard, before the Committee of the Judicial Privy Council was ordered. This led to a little amicable conversation between Lord CAMPBELL and Lord BROUGHA.M. -In answer to a question from the LORD CHAN CELLOR, Lord NORMANBY said, it was his intention to bring on his motion relative to the state of Ireland on Tuesday. Lord CAMPBELL brought in a Bill, which was read a first time, to enact that when a prosecution was in stituted for seditious libel, and falsehood was charged in the indictment, it should be lawful to give evidence of the truth of the alleged libel. The object of the Bill is to supply the deficiency in the Act of last session, relative to Governmefit prosecutions. The Commons did not make a House, there being only thirty-five Members present at four o'clock. r It is quite clear that public men are entitled to claim a liberal construction not only for their mo tives, but for their conduct, and that no harsh rule of construction should be applied to them ; but that, on the contrary, every latitude should be allowed to persons situated as they are, and placed under per petual observation as to their every action. But if public men are entitled to claim this indulgence, it is equally evident that they are bound, by the strictest ties, not to abuse the privileges they enjoy, and that their conduct, when it departs from the line of pro priety, is neither shielded from censure, nor en titled to any protection on account of station or position. The conduct of the Irish law officers is to be judged entirely by this""rule. So long as their official capacity demanded from them the performance of certain duties, they were perfectly justified in using their ability and energy to make the utmost of their position, and if possible to secure for themselves and their principals a successful result. But they were not justified in using the powers of the law to the abuse ir and perversion of justice —to the denial of a fair tribunal, before which the guilt or innocence of the accused should be tested—or to the refusal of every privilege which persons similarly situated have a right to demand, as the means of preparing for their defence. The suppression of nearly one-tenth of the jury list—the exclusion of all men of the Roman Ca tholic religion—and the denial of the names of the witnesses to support the charge against the accused cannot be justified by any principle of law or equity, and will always remain a stigma upon the officers en gaged in the now pending trial. It is greatly to be regretted that common sense forms so small a portion of the attainments of legal functionaries. Common sense would have told the Irish Attorney-General that an indictment such as he had prepared was absurd and ridiculous—that the evidence by which he sought to support it was farci cal, and altogether unworthy of the attention of a jury—and that the powers of the law were not to be sustained by the monstrous appeal to arms of an -Irish Attorney-General. Common sense now points to the verdict the jury ought to pronounce—will the jury follow the dictates of common sense or of the Attorney-General ? In the absence of the Duke of RICHMOND, Lord BROUGHAM on Thursday moved the second reading of the Actions. for-Penalties-on-Gaming-Discontinu ance Bill—the longest-tailed Bill we ever remember to have seen, and which might put even a Bond-street tailor's to the blush. In bringing forward his mo tion, his Lordship observed that the Legislature had at various times passed laws for.the suppression of gambling, and among them was one which imposed a penalty on parties who should lose more than ten pounds at a sitting at any game. In consequence of this stringent law—which, by the bye, had fallen into desuetude—not having been acted on for fifty years, many Noble and Hon. Gentleman had had qui tans actions brought against them to recover penalties to an immense amount on account of their having betted at horse-races. They had done so in perfect igno rance of the law on the subject, and when they lost they had paid honourably ; but certain individuals with whom they had betted had acted in a far different spirit, and resolutely refused to pay their bets. Steps had, in consequence, been taken to drive these scamps from the turf; upon which, from motives of sheer spite, they had raked up the penal clauses of the obsolete enactment in question, anti brought qui tam actions for the recovery of penal ties against many of the most honourable and distin guished patrons of the turf. His Lordship having briefly stated these particulars, concluded by moving the second reading of his long-tailed Bill, and added, that what it proposed was, " not that any prospective law should be passed, but only that the bad parts of the old law should be repealed, and some good and sound provisions be substituted in their stead." To this moderate proposition we do not see that the slightest objection can be offered; indeed we could have wished that it had been more comprehensive in its character; though it must be confessed, at the same time, that a law for the suppression of gambling would he one which it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to carry into effect. The vice, * if put down in one shape, would be pretty sure to start up in another, and contrive, by some ingenious means or other, to elude the most stringent enactments. Still the experiment, impracticable as it may appear, is worth making, for there is no social evil so utterly demoralising in its character as that of gambling— none which inflicts such an immense amount of grief, remorse, and humiliation on the upper and middle classes of society, among whom it is chiefly prevalent. The Bishop of LONDON, while professing his intention not to oppose the second reading of the Bill, took the opportunity of stating that he " could not approve of any measure that tended to encourage betting; espe cially among the poor. They might leave the rich to do what they chose with their property, but they ought to interfere to protect the poor." The logic of this is exceedingly curious, and deserves a word or two of comment, if not for its force, at least for its singularity. Why should the rich be allowed to ruin themselves ad libitum; and the property of the poor only—which in far too many cases amounts to the exact sum of nothing—be vigilantly looked after by the law, in order that it may be turned to the best account, and not be wasted in gambling ? Has his Lordship no consideration—no bowels for the wealthy and, aristocratic victims of CROCKFORIA and TATTERSALL'S ? Can he allow these peo ple to lose thousands upon thousands at hazard, or in the betting-room, without making the slightest attempt at interference; while at the same time he puts a stern interdict upon the poor man's harmless bet of a few pence on a game of skittles in the bowling-green, or on a game of cribbage in the sanded parlour of the village alehouse? Is gambling correct and orthodox when practised by the rich, and criminal only when practised by the poor ? With great deference to his Lordship's better judgment, we must frankly confess that we do not understand these nice distinctions; but are old-fashioned enough to believe that vice is vice, whether indulged in by rich or poor. In the present instance, however, the Rev. Prelate's anxious solicitude to protect the poor from the evil consequences of betting, is altogether superfluous, for gambling is certainly not the beset ting vice of poverty. If you desire to see it flourish ing, like some poisonous weed, in rank perfection, you must go to the halls of the wealthy and the affluent, and not to the mechanic'Sor theslabouter's cottage. In taking leave of this subject, we cannot refrain from noticing the extraordinary way in which his Lordship is usually in the habit of exhibiting his affectionate regard for the welfare of the poor. It is only a few years since he spent a whole Sunday afternoon, with his episcopal nose flattened against the window-pane, watching, from his palace at Fulham, the boats that were constantly paSsing and re-passing, filled with hard-working citizens, who were taking that oppor tunity of enjoying, after the toils of the week, a mouthful of fresh air on the breezy river. The ghostly Prelate was of course shocked at this act o: desecration on the part of the poorer classes of society, and, by way of showing his affection for them, he did his best to put a stop to their harmless Sunday water excursion by holding it up to public reprobation in the House of Lords. We do not learn that h e ever spent a Sabbath afternoon watching the carriages of rank and affluence rolling past his town-house in St. James's-square, on their way to the Parks, the Zoological Gardens, and other places of fashionable resort. The occupants of such car- riages were, we presume, privileged persons, and not to be subjected to episcopal scrutiny. It is good that a High Church dignitary should always have the welfare of the poor in his eye; but it is not good that his interference with ;hem should be of a petty, teazing, vexatious, and Pharisaic character. Interfere as much as you please, my Lord Bishop, to better their condition in life--to improve the quantity and quality of their food—to give them the means of acquiring a better education —and to obtain for them more regard and kindness from the rich; but leave them to the quiet enjoyment of their harmless bet at skittles when the day's work is at an end ; and even should you again chance to see them rowing on the water on Sunday afternoons, inhaling the fresh air—a luxury to them, though not perhaps to you—and feasting on the tranquil sylvan beauty of the landscape, pray, shut—we beseech you —your pious eyes, and forbear to horrify the House of Lords with your indignant denunciation of the spectacle. The following paragraph appeared in a leading article of the Post, a day or two since, and we quote it for the purpose of making a few comments on it : -- p "A rumou r h as f oun d it s way i nto some o f t h e news paers respecting a Central Association fur the Pro. insurgents. The Captain-General of Valencia, RoN CALT4 :is marching on Alicant with troops, and a moveable brigade under the command of General CONCHA, has also left Madrid. " Attempts at insurrection took place on the 29th at Alcoy Elche, Cocentirna, and Muro, all in the neighbourhood of Alicant, but they were promptly checked by the inhabitants, who captured and killed several of the seditious." The Memorial Bordelais of the 6th publishes the following, but will not vouch for its veracity : " MADRID, FEB. 1. TEN O'CLOCK, P.M. "A Council of Ministers has, it is said, just been held, and a Cabinet courier is to start immediately •for Paris. It is added, that a loan of 10,000,000 francs is demanded, in order to provide for the difficulties in which the Alicant insurrec tion has thrown the Government. It is also said that the Government demand that the New Spanish Three per Cents. be quoted at the Spanish Bourse, and that M. Martinez de Rosa is to apply fo'r the armed intervention of France, should it be required, to support the young Queen against the machinations of the anarchists." The observations made by Lord _BROUGHAM and the Earl of ABERDEEN in the House of Lords re lative to the slave trade have excited some severe comments in the Opposition journals. Some of them declare that the assertions of M. GUIZOT in the Chamber were not founded on truth, and that the scene in the House of Lords was previously concerted between Lord BROUGHAM and Lord ABERDEEN, in order to arrange matters for M. GUIZOT. The French Funds, on Thursday, continued firm, the Three per Cents. closing at 81f. 95c., and the Fives at 125 f. 10c.; Orleans Shares at 855 f.; Rouen, 841 f. 25c.; Havre, 695 f. ; Avignon, 775 f. ; Spanish Actives, 30f.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, Two, P.M. The packet-ship Queen of the West has just come up, having sailed from New York on the 24th ult., and having made the passage in fifteen days. The news is five days later than that brought by the Yorkshire. The news appears without interest. The following are extracts from the papers : FROM WASHINGTON.--.POSTAGES.—The Senate Com mittee have reported a Bill reducing the rates of postage, the franking privilege, and slightly reducing the rates of newspaper postage. The. important details of the Bill will be found under the Postcript head, in the regular Washington Correspondence. Postages to be regulated by weight, and the rates established at 5 and 10 cents. FROM MEXICO.—An arrival on Monday, brings a few days' later advices. The, Government of I)iario an nounces the arrival at Veal. Cruz of the Commissioners from Yucatan, with instructions to accept the proposals made by Mexico. The papers confirm the reports pre viously brought, that troops are organising in different parts of the country, and. concentrating at Vera Cruz. It is verbally reportel by this arrival that the vessels composing the Mexican navy, were about to sail for Havannah. Santa Anna continues at his country seat. —Neu , Orleans Be.. FROM PORT AU PRINCE.—We learn from Captain Baker, 4 the schooner Council, which arrived last even ing from Port au Prince, that General Revera was elected President of the Republic about the last of December. The result was received , with great demonstrations of joy. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.—JAN. 23. The Stock Market has not been the least affected by the European advices. Stocks are moving up and down without any particular cause. There are many indications that prices will ultimately advance, and there are as many that a different movement will take place:— Long Island advanced 11 per cent. ; Haarlem * ditto; Norwich 1 ditto; Illinocis 4 ditto; North American Trust 1 ditto; Ohio Sixes declined 4 per cent.; Patter son ditto; Indiana 1 fslitto. The sales to-day were quite moderate, showing but little activity among the brokers. None of the principal staple articles of trade have received but slight beneficial effect from the news, except cotton, which is vete active. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE (RECEIVED. THIS DAY.)

FIRE AT LIVERPOOL ^JAMS OF LIFE.—On Tues day evening last, at a quart er to eight o'clock, a fire was dis covered in a warehouse use :1' as a cooperage, and belonging to Mr. John Barton, Plumbe .street. The alarm was imme diately passed to the fire-pollee station, and Mr. Hewitt, with that alacrity which al` ways Characterises him in cases of such emergency, immedi, nil) , proceeded to the spot with nine engines, water-tanks, &c. He was soon followed by Mr. Whitty, Mr. Maxwell, sncl numbers of the fire brigade. The premises being situated 5a a backyard, which was filled with staves, reaching to the height of two stories, the fire had made considerable progress before it was dis covered, and on the arri val of Mr. Hewitt, the flames were raging so furiously t list the dwelling-houses at the back and a warehouse adjolning were in the most imminent danger. Densely crowded as the buildings were, and being in close proximity with the.. .premises in which the fire origi nated, nothing but the mostistrenuous exertions on the part of the fire brigade could ha,vt. confined the flames to the warehouse in which they uriginated ; but this was fortu nately effected, and about ten o'clock all danger of its spread ing further was at an end. 'We regret to add that the loss of property in this instance h. as not been unattended by the loss of life. One of the fire l'urigade was killed, and two of his companions have been inittred. These men, Pritchard, Archer, and Bell, were playi. ag upon the ruins, and standing immediately in front of t4ie warehouse. At the mo ment Mr. Hewittwas cautioni ug them, as he had done before, to look out, for he was sure the wall would fall, indica tions were given that it was giving way, and before the three men could escape they ware buried beneath the ruins. Mr. Hewitt was caught on the...heel by some loose bricks, but fortunately reached the archvizy before the huge mass fell. Every exertion was immediattly used to rescue the poor men from their awful situation. Ai . cher was' found to be only s li g htly injured on the foot and: leg, and Bell had his back hurt, but poor Pritchard eras dreadfully mangled. The gutter stones from the roof of the building caught him at the back of the head, his thigh was broken, and he was otherwise much crushedi- The three meta - were taken to the Northern Hospital, where Pritchard died the following day at noon. The ether twe are likely to repiver.—Liverpool Mircury. ~....a... SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vubitc Optitton. " Who ?WI'S may 'feud." FOREIGN. Accounts from Stockholm, four days later than those pub lished in The Sun of Tuesday, state that no hopes are enter tained of the King's recovery. The disease under which he labours is said to be apoplexy. On Tuesday, the King of the French, accompanied by Ge nerals Gourgaud, Friant, and two orderly officers, proceeded to St. Cloud at two o'clock, and returned to th e uileries for dinner. The Bureaux of the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday continued their examination of the budget. M. Allard read to the. Petition Committee his report on the petitions relating to the Fortifications, in which he speaks in favour of con tinuing the works. A Commission has just been appointed by.the French Go vernment to draw up the Bill which is to be presented this session to the Chambers, for carrying into effect the general regulations now acted on relative to the fisheries between the coasts of France and Great Britain. The members of the Commission are M. Lange, the Commissary-General of Marine, who has been employed at London in negotiating these regulations ; M. de Lavergne, Master of Requests ; M. Meillerat, Director of Criminal Proceedings in the Ministry of Justice, and M. Paravey, Master of Requests. The eighth Chamber of Correctional Police, on Wednesday, was occupied with a case of libel, in which M. Jules Junin, the well-known critic, was plaintiff, and MM. Pyat and Grandmenil defendants. The article complained of was written by M. Pyat, in the Reforme, of which M. Grandmenil is the responsible editor, in answer to a severe critique from the pen of the plaintiff, on the character ,and writings of Chenier, the poet. The Court, after having heard counsel on both sides, declared the complaint to be well founded against both the defendants, arid sentenced Pyat to six months' im prisonment and I,ooof. fine, and Grandmenil to one month's imprisonment and 3,000 f. fine. It condemned the defendants, in addition, to pay the costs. The mortal remains of Marshal Drouet d'Erlon, which were temporarily placed in the church of the Invalides, have been removed to Rheims, where they are to be interred. The Belgian Chamber of Representatives have passed, almost without a dissentient voice, a Bill for calling in the old silver coin of Belgium. A letter from St. Petersburgh, 27th ult., in. the Augsburgh Gazette, confirms the intelligence o f a v i c t or y b e i ng ga i ne d by the Russian troops, under General Fregtag, in the Cau casus, and states that 6,000 Circassians were either killed or taken prisoners. A letter from Constantinople, 16th ult., states that for the two previous days the weather had been most tempestuous, and that rain, sleet, and snow fell, almost without intermis sion. A coasting vessel laden with flour had gone down near Arnaouthkeny, and out of thirty persons on board, twenty four had perished, the other six being picked up by the boat of a trading vessel. PUBLIC OPINION. The Advertiser of this morning observes :—" The modera tion in language and sentiment adopted at the great meeting of English Catholics on Wednesday, may be justified by policy, but is unquestionably unequal to the insult which the whole body of their faith have received from Govern ment at the hands of the Crown prosecutors in Ireland. As a gross violation of the principle of the Emancipation Act, which no circumstance in their conduct warrants, could a violation of a legislative engagement be sanctioned at all, the circumstances under which the traversers are tried, de manded something more than a cool expression of disapproba tion. It is not merely the rights of a section of the people that are now invaded, their integrity as Christians denied, and their honour as men and citizens outraged ; but an entire people are emphatically pronounced incapable of discharging an ordinary trust, when it involves a political opinion. By imputation the Irish Protestant is as grossly maligned as the Catholic ; for, by packing the jury in the manner which has been wit nessed, it is declared that no reliance can be placed upon the oaths of either; and that if the Catholic would perjure him self to defeat the prosecution, the Protestant is equally ready to gratify it at the expense of his religion and conscience. No explanation can be offered of the rejection of the jury list, which is not founded on one or other of these atrocious calumnies, unless it be derived from a motive that reflects immeasurable disgrace on the Irish Government." The following is from the Chronicle :—" We published on Thursday a report of a meeting of English Roman Catholics, summoned by requisition to protest against the insult offered to their body by the Irish law officers of the Government in striking the jury for the State trials. This manifestation of opinion gives a distinct and emphatic negative to the asser tion, that the indignation so loudly and generally expressed in Ireland at the exclusion of the Roman Catholics is a mere artifice of the Repeal party to discredit the jury. Sir Robert Peel would, we have very little doubt, be heartily glad to be lieve that this assertion was well-founded ; but we are equally certain that he knows it to be a fiction devised by his sup porters to cover what is now felt to be a real and most mis chievous blunder, and one which will seriously embarrass him in the House of Commons. The speakers at the meet ing to which we have referred appeared to be animated by one common . feeling of indignation at a proceeding which virtually declared them, as Roman Catholics, unfit to be trusted on their oaths to adjudicate between the subject and the Crown." The Times remarks, in reference to the state of affairs in Sinde :—" It cannot be denied that up to the present moment Sir Charles Napier has been almost as successful as Sir John Keene ; but the future is not wholly couleur de rose. Scarcely ever, perhaps, since the days of Senacherib, if the late ac counts are to be trusted, has an army lying in peace in its tents experienced the sweeping losses of our Sindian detachments. In the utterly helpless state to which some of them are said to be reduced, it rests with our relentless enemies and double dealing friends to cut them in pieces or not, as they please: Disease, appears to have done already the greater part of the work ; let us hope the Beloochee swordsmen will not take in hand the rest. Meanwhile, we have to ask how is the country to be kept in order for the future ? Is the same tremendous loss to be hazarded every year in this confessedly pestilential country ? And if so, where are the lives to come from which are thus to be thrown away? It will be difficult, and not without danger, to procure a constant supply of Sepoys for the purpose. Our Indian army is faithful and enduring; but it has sometimes shown that there are limits to its fidelity and endurance, which it is more than hazardous to pass. Or, Spartan-like, are we to keep the coun t r y i n or d er by annual invasions during the cold season to punish the ex • cesses which have been committed in the hot? Or must our troops, after all, retire- from the country? No course appears wholly without its difficulty. We are glad that it does not fall upon us to choose between them. The Herald thus refers to the recent debate on Sinde in the Commons :—" The friends and supporfers of Lord Ellen borough have every reason to be satisfied with the result of the debate on Sinde, for not even the leaders of the Opposi tion would join in the vote of censure on his policy involved in Lord Ashley's resolution ; and the only sound uttered by them against his Lordship was a sneering" hear, hear," from Lord Palmerston. This abstinence is the more remarkable and conclusive when we recollect the torrents of misrepre sentation, reproach, and census, let loose through the Opposition press on Lord Ellenborough—how he was charged with ensnaring the late Ameers of Sinde to their ruin—how he was accused of a premeditated design not to be satisfied with any concession they might make—how he wa s i mpeac h ed of more than Oriental duplicity, treachery, and tyranny. And now that the opportunity has been given the Whig chiefs of reite rating calumnies and absurdities such as these, of en dorsing the case of the organs supposed to reflect their opinions, they are silent as to them—not a single man in the House of Commons has the hardihood even to hint at them. Sir John Hobhouse protests against 'Parliament in terfering with the government of India; and Lord John Russell only saves himself from the necessity of applauding Lord Ellenborough, by pleading that he had not yet made himself master of the papers laid before Parliament." LAW AND 71 , 01.103111. At the Central Criminal Court, Peter Petrie was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Josiah Lawton, with intent to maim and disable him, or do him grievous bodily harm. Prisoner is captain of the merchant vessel Lydia, and the assault was committed on the voyage home from Bahia to England. The jury found him guilty on the fourth count, of assaulting the prosecutor, with the intent to do him some grievous bodily harm, and recommended him to mercy. He was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. In the New Court, the morning was occupied in trying offences committed against her Majesty's Mint, no less than eighteen persons being charged with uttering and possessing base coin. At the Surrey Sessions, Jane Brown pleaded guilty to having unlawfully deserted and left her male infant child at the door of the Lambeth Workhouse on the 27th of December last, exposed in a basket, to the great peril and danger of the 'life of the said infant, and was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. John Davies, the man charged with cutting his wife's throat, was again brought up at the Guildhall, and again remanded. A respectable-looking youth, who gave the name of Philip Mucholland, was charged, at Queen-square, with having fired a pistol loaded with ball, into the dressing-room of the Rev.

The Factories Bill, brought in by Sir James Graham and Mr. Manners Sutton, contains 78 sections, with a schedule of forms annexed. The preamble states that the laws for regulating the employment of children and young persons in factories need amendment The Acts now in force on the same subject are to be repealed. No child under eight years old to be employed in factories, nor any young person to be employed under sixteen years old ; in both cases certificates from a surgeon of age and fitness to be procured. They may be employed thirteen days without certificates. Chil dren not to work more than six hours and a half daily, and young persons and women not more than twelve.

We regret to hear, says the Times, that Mr, Chambers, the banker, has been dangerously ill in the Queen's Pri son, after an incarceration of 17 years, during which period upwards of 200,0001. of his valuable property has been re ceived, and somehow or other, it would seem, irresponsibly absorbed, since not a creditor as yet has received one far thing, and his injured family disappointed in every expecta tion of their youth. The town council of Newcastle, at their meeting on Thurs day, resolved to grant 1,000/., and to give up certain property to the value of nearly another 1,000/., in order to secure the erection of a high level bridge across the Tyne for way to Edinburgh. — At a ineeting.of .the Lancaster and Preston Ral pany, last week, it was unanimously resolved to , behalf of the - Company, 65,000/. towardsthe'forn atiol.
