K!611 WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. Morning ;;:: 49 minutes after 31 E ven i ng rzewme.; this Journal. We have again and again contended that with an agarian population—manufactures in their in f.►ncy--and a landed aristocracy for the most part deeply in debt, Ireland could nor. go on the Stock Exchange and raise the necessary' loans for the establishment of a complete system of Railways—. save on terms ruinous to herself. She could only ob tain money by promising to pay an exorbitant rate of interest ; this of course would subsequently devolve upon the public in the shape of higher fares ; and thus would be defeated one of the main objects of such un dertakings—the facilitating of commercial and moral intercourse.

Here then is one immense advantage resulting from the interference of the Government at the very threshold of the business. Money, for which private companies would have to pay the most exorbitant rate of interest, the Government may safely advance at the lowest—and to any amount. Then, again, as Lord MORPETH well observed, Railways, which might mate rially benefit Ireland, and entail no loss upon Govern ment, would frequently hold out no inducements to the most ardent speculators to undertake their construction. This is self-e‘ident. Private companies would he guided by the certainty of immediate, not the hope of prospective, gain. They would be obliged to re ject any line affording no safe grounds for a direct return of a large interest upon the gross amount of capital expended. In this way morsels of choice lines would be monopolized, end a system of jobbing set on font equally injuri ous t o i n d ustry an d p ubli c creit. But the sensible and judicious arguments of Lord MORPETH and the CH.A.NCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER Nled co inake any impression upon Sir ROBERT PEEL. We have of;en had occasion to observe the obivainj effect of Irish g rievances upon the otherwise clear hie telleet of the Right Honourable Baronet, but we do not remember an instance in which this was more conspicuous than in his speech of last night on the Irish Railway question. The Right Hon. Gentleman maintained that Ireland had palriotisin and enterprise enough to make railways in abundance, but. as Mr. O'CONNELL adroitly remarked, he forgot to say a word about the money. Ho took care to over look all that had been urged by Lord MoueETH, to the effect that without an advance of capital the for mation of a system of railways in Irehtml w::s on impossibility.

The crowded stzte cf our'columns will barely pertnit us to direct the attention of our readers to the report or the proceedings at the Fifth Half-Yearly ineetiog of the Directors and Peoprietors of the Southampton Dock Company, will be found in our columns of I ° - (LY. We have frequ,ritly expressed our ap proval of the policy of rst,ihishing extensive docks at Southampton ; and we entertain no doubt whatcscr of the success of an umicrtakinz, which has for its ob ject the commoreial benefit of the British empire. Messrs. CHRISTOPHER, CAYLEY, and Co. have eb• tained a glorious triumph at Manchester. The factory masters, the Delegates, those whom the landlords have d: scriber as grinding their workmen to dust, have been defeated by the Ciwrtises. A full and interesting account of the riotous scene which took place appeared in The Sun of yesterday. A great multitude rushed into the room the instant it was opened, and the proceedings had scarcely begun in form bef o re a row ensue d. Th friends of the Delegates were enabled barely to move and second the first resolution, though the gentleman aho seconded it was not heard to the end. A Mr. CURRAN, described as a hand-loom weaver, after the mob had silenced Mr. JaatEs HOWIE, made a speech, the burden of which was, that they should follow Sir R. PEEL'S advice, and take their affairs into their own hands. Will that please the Corn-law advocates ? He was willing to thank the unsuccessful Delegates, and was therefore called a trai tor by the majority of the meeting. Than began an indescribable scene of confusion, aad one PAT MURPHY, at the instigation of a Mr. NIGHTINGALE, was voted into the chair, and the Delegates chased away. Reso lutions were then passed of thanks to the Convention, implying approbation of Universal Suffrage ; Mark that! Mr. CHRISTOPHER, of the Ballot; look to it Mr. CAYLEY, of Annual Parliaments, the dread of all landlords, and of taking the prerogative of calling and dismissing Parliament from the hands of the Sove reign, or in other words from the Aristocracy. What do the landowners now think of their auxiliaries ? What will the pensioned Dowagers and the smirking younger sons of the Aristocracy say to the proposition (loudly cheered by the meeting), to destroy those, a-la-mode Marcus, " who consume all, and preserve those who produce all." We congratulate Messrs. CHRIsToPHER, CAYLEY, and Co. - on their triumph. To prevent the abolition of the Corn•laws, they have brought the coun try to the verge of a violent revolution, anti the Mo narchy to the brink of destruction. If only themselves were concerned, we should see the sacrifice of their class with the most stoical indifference ; but their stupid, obstinate folly, is involving hundreds and thousands, and perhaps millions of human beings, in an awful calamity. Having thus reprobated the conduct of the land lords who -are led astray, we verily believe by clever revolutionists, who, in the public press are pandering to their passions, and urging them on by sophistical ar guments in a monstrous career, of wickedness, let us say one word of the conduct of the Chartists, whose behaviour renders them worthy of being the aux;e Hades of the landlords in their scheme of continuing in justice and stirring up violence. They may have some repugnance to listen to us, because we have all along deprecated the course they have taken ; and therefore we shall quote a passage from the eloquent lecture de livered by Mr. Fox at the Finsbury Chapel on Sunday fortnight. The late Editor of the True Sun will never be regarded as a Whig, or accused of a disposition to deceive the people ; and he spoke to the follow ing effect of the advantages of repealing the Corn laws to the working-classes : Remember how much the repeal of the Corn.law includes. The improvement of the physical condition of thelarge masses of the com munity does not terminate in Itself. I' is not a barren blessin g . It acts, and acts promptly and extensively, on the mental, on the moral, on the religious condition of those multitudes, as well as on their physical state. We profess to desire the diffusion of know. ledge, the general intellectual improvement of the labouring classes. Why, what a cruel absurdity it seems to talk to a man of intellectual improvement, of cultivating and recreating his mi d, when he is ill-housed, ill-clothed, his meals deficient in quantity, and not of a nutritive or stimulatin g quality— when he has no opportunity for collecting his wandering thoughts, his narrow abode forming no refuge from noise or dis. traction—his temper incessantly jarred—books not within his reach, or only with difficulty scarcely to be surmounted—and soul and body worn down by cartin g , carkin g cares! Is this man in a condition to exert himself for the cultivation of his faculties, and apply to the study of history, of science, or of poetry ? The first thing is to put him in such a condition that his mind can have free and fair play ; to have been better housed, better clothed; better fed, and then let him begin his mental race, like a giant rejoicin g in the freshness of his strength, feelin g his new advantages, and gra dually rising from the improvement of his physical condition to improvement in his mental condition also. Turn from the workman himself to his offsprin g . How is it now that they are so debarred from the means of instruction ; how is it that the labouring youth of England in such multitudes grow up, in spite of all the kindness, in spite of all the anxiety that may be felt on their behalf, that they grow up in a condition in which they have not the means, multitudes of them, of the simplest and commonest instruction, to say nothin g of those higher forms of education which might be and ou g ht to be rendered universal, because there are in all the common qualities of the human constitution which culture should develope? Why is it that the young are so frequently forced to premature labour ? Why is it that, even with laws to a certain extent restrictin g the years as which they should be employed, there is a constant tendency to evade those laws, and that on the part of parents as well as on the part of masters ? Why is it that so many labourin g parents in this country. become as It were slave dealers in their own flesh and blood, and sell the bones and muscles of their offsprin g to that premature toil. which withers and cripples human beings, soul and body together ? Is this a spontaneous line of conduct? I'll not believe it. There may be a few depraved exceptions, but in general it is the ' scorpion lash of gaunt famine that drives them on to such a course ; it is the hard ur g in g of necAsity ; it is the same impulse in kind, thou g h not so- stron g in degree, as that which makes the longin g of the cannibal arise in crews of shipwrecked sailors ; the same in kind, thou g h happily inferior in degree , as that We cannot too highly extol the generous course which made the delicate woman, durin g the protracted beleaguer meat of Jerusalem by the Romans, seethe her own child in the pot which the Government proposes to pursue with re_ meant food. It . is the unnatural state of-society which goads them on apeet to the establishment of Railroads in Ireland. We to that, which violates not only the dictates of human nature, of confess Clot we had become apprehensive that the true and loving human nature, but even the animal e'en:ours of the Tories, and the other enemies of the stioet of paternity. Would it not be a blessing, al inc i a n t: Prosperity of that country, had had the effect of in- eulable blessin g to humanity, that an improvement in diming Ministers to look more coldly upon the excellent the them condition of the labourin g classes should gd o v n e , t ra e t m hcr th i e h, o r t o o rtu ti n le it ye early to , .11ggestions of the Irish Railway Commissioners.

EVENING EDITION. The Duke of WELLINGTON lirdi in the House of Lords lest night, and presented a considerable number of peti tions against the repeal of the Corn-laws. Though poli tiedly or posed to his Grace we rejoice to see him restored +o his public duties. Other Noble Lords presented similar and one petition was presented for an ahem the Corn-laws. Marquis of NORMANRY announced that papers reds '-e Church in Upper Canada had been received, d he laid on the table; those relative to the Lower Canada were not forthcomin, owing, as `larquis hirited,,to the numerous engagenr2tits c.v., : to Cu Nohl t c2ssor. The B paqscd. Viscount MELBOURNE announced that all the papers con. ncctci ~ .;itli the affair of India, which could be fairly called I for, si:ould be laid before the House. The Earl of ABER -1 DEEN implied, that he disapproved very much of the war which the Governor-General had entered into. i The Earl of RODEN adverted, with a very gr. , at want of Idiscretion, to the case of a man of the name of ItEyNoLos, said to have been murdered in Ireland, and whose dezth is ! now undergoing judicial investigation. Ile moved fu all the papers connected with the case ; but withd rew hi s mo tion on its impropriety being pointed out. The Noble iEarl made a speech; indeed, in which he calumniated a class of men who are probably quite as pure and as honest as himself. . The free privilege of speech in the Lords and Commons, gives rise to more libels in a month, than all the 1 newspapers of England—excluding the Ultra -religious : Tory Journals—write of their own accord (they are cont. I reeled to publish the calumnies of Peers) in a year. The Pe-rs sat only half an hour, and then adjourned to Monday. 1 i In the Commons a new writ was issued for Richmond, Yorkshire, in the room of Lord DUNDAF, now Earl of ZETLANIL rough Courts Biii was read a third time and • The petitions presented were chiefly for tincl• p.gainst the Coro-laws, for and against the Municipal Bill for Ireland, fur the abolition of Ecclesiastical Courts and other clerical abuses, from the clergy of Canterbury, the patrons of Yogi, against the Ecclesiastical Revenues and Duties' Bill, and from Ireland for the repeal of the Union. Mr. JEavis brought up the report o f t h e C omm i ttee on Mr. Wy NN ' s case, which stated that the office Mr. WYNN held was one of profit, but that he did not accept it after his election.

Lord PALMERSTON assured Mr. HUME that the report that the British Government meant to coerce Belgium linto a sepa%tion from Limburg and Luxemburg, was with cut foundation. Mr. HAkVEY was disappointed, having anticipated no opposition to his motion for the several ap- Ipoiotuachts made by Lord DURHAM, which, he was told, were alr ea d y b efore the House in Lord DURHAM'S Report, and other papers connected with Canada.

We mourn not over blighted hopes, for the Corn laws after all must be repealed, unless landlords can withstand the power of Got) ; but we mourn the folly and stupid, selfish obstinacy of the landlords, who arc hur rying themselves, their friends, and dependents to ruin. Whatever may be the result, and we fear it . will be dreadful, our conscience is quite clear. We have neither countenanced any oppression of the lower classes, nor have we ever cried out against the Corn-law agita tion, that it was "a Whig trick." On the contrary, we zealously combatted that assertion, when it was put forth by splenetic and self conceited journalists, wrongly called Liberal ; and we entered our fervent protest against the unfortunate exasperation of the working clashes, by the prosecution of Mr. STEPHENS. We be lieve, had our conduct found imitators in the other Li beral Journals—had they not ridiculed STEPHENS and his fervid eloquence, and the efforts of his followers— bad they not discountenanccd the Corn•law agitation as a scheme of the Whigs, the whole Liberal party would would now have been closely united, to get rid of the most insulting oppression that ever was suffered by a free people. _ MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. SECONDARIES' COURT: (THIS DAY.) Among the subjects that occupy attention in the city at present, there is none more prominent than the commerc i al cr i s i s under which both France and Belgium are suffering, but the information supplied either by the public or the private accounts is far from making the situation of affairs so intelligible as might be desired. In Belgium it seems to have been attended with this remarkable result in a political point of view —that it has induced the people to acquiesce itiore readily that, might otherwise have been the case in that submission to the will of the five Powers, which was declared by the Belgian Government to have become a matter of absolute ne cessity. The lead was taken in this by the trading classes, who have been strongly memorializing the Government not to add to their distresses by a foreign war. (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER and a Special Jury.) ASEIURST V. STRANGE. The pleadings having been opened by Mr. Huggins, Sir F. Pole.iptit said he appeared for the plaintiff in this ca-c Mr. W. H Ashurst, an attorney, who had becitight an action for libel against the defendant, a bookseller in Paternoster-row, who, having suffered judgment to go •by default, the case now came before them for the purpose of assessing the amount of damages. The plaintiff was probably not unknown to !hem, having for many years discharged the duties t•f his profes sion with zeal, honour, and fidelity, yet always with fairness towards those to whom he was opposed. The libel complained of was contained in a pamphlet entitled " The commercial career of Sewell and Cross, with an account of the premature death of Thomas, and the subse quent extraordinary proceedings of John Kirley, to which are added sketches of Dry, Philips, C. Mirfin, &e., edited by Leo. Ile thought that this anonymous libeller, instead of taking that name, should have taken the name of some cowardly skuiking beast. It pure ported to be a re. print of certain articles which had appeared in a weekly newspaper. Had- they appeared in any newspaper of any repute or respectability, the plaintiff would instantly have called upon the Editor for a retractation, or have given him an ep portunity of proving his assertions if he could ; hut the Jury roust be aware of the complicated machinery of these obscure weekly vehicles of slander, which rendered it perfectly impossible for any one who might feel aggrieved by them—that rendered it impossible fur any —te get at author or editor so as to obtain:redre'ss. The instant he Sound theselibels collected, he lost no time in giving the publisher an opportunity of proving the statements, if he could. He need not insist upon the importance of character to an attorney. On thatsubject he entirely agreed with a recently elected Member of Par :lament in his address to his constituents Thelibol charged him with leaving as. attorney to the assignees in a certain case of bankruptcy, acted collusively with the bankrupt, with having got up tee bank ruptcy, and carried it through, not for the purpose of benefiting the creditors, but for the purpose of whitewashing the bank rupt. If there was any one whose whole professional die gave the lie to such a charge, it was the plaintiff, and. he had it in his power to prove; had not the defendant suffered judgment to go by default, that this charge was false i❑ every particular. Since he had entered the Court he had been informed that the defendant's attorney bad been instructed to disavow every imputat'on, and to eiffer the must ample apology. This, he confessed would alter the line of conduct he had at first been disposed to adopt very considerably. lie intended to have called upon the Jury to have marked their sense of the atrocious nature of the libel by giving heavy dani, , ges, but in consequence of this apology he would not ask for more than what was called a nominal verdict for 405., mare especially as he. understood that Mr. Strange was entirely untie quainted with the , contents of the pamphlet, which had been brougl.t to his shop ready printed, by an individual with whom he was ma acquainted, and who had requested him to publish it in the regular course of his trade, and that on the discovery of the libel, he Fad taken every means in his power to suppress it. Mr. WIBE, on b..half of the defendant, stated that he fully and cntirely concurred in every thing which had fallen from Sr F. Pollock. The defendant had desired him to express his deep regret that he should have been made the instrument of puldishing this libel, to exit ess his unqualified disa , owal and deni•,l of the stat. ments contained in it, and his a,•xious desire that thisapologyshoutd no only ha- made to Mr. Ashurst, but go before the public also, he being I,er fectly convinced that Mr. Ashurst was incapable of committing the acts imputed to him. He would likewise draw their et. tention to the proceedings in this case. The instant he knew that the plaintiff's name appeared in the publication --the instant he knew that it was a libellous one—he forbad the sate of another copy, and tendered to Mr. Ashurst the amplest apology, both there and in writing, through hies (Mr. Erie). Inc had further abstained from putting Mr. Ashurst to a ingte farthing of expense, or any trouble during the whole course of these proceedings. He again begged to express the defendant'e re. fret at having been made the means of this publication, his entire eisbelief of the charges made against Mr. Ashurst, and his desire that that apologyshould be widely circulated. According to accounts received from Paris, the money and com mercial crisis was still far from over, and is represented. black', ra ther to be on the increase. Discounts even for the most ace: edited paper could with difficulty be obtained, and the numerous failures which for several days past had been registered at the Tribunal of Commerce contributed to the want of confidence still more, and were a sullicient proof of the extent of the existing embarrassments. In the course of last week, 19 bankruptcies had been thus declared at Paris. The failure of Ashley and Son, of Regent.street, bankers and army agents, which took place yesterday, is n.garded in the Cit 3 as an ev...nt quite unimportant. Their transactions have been of small amount, and they have few connexions at this cud of the town. Their engagements are not estimated ;t more than !hid) thousand pounds, probably the smallest in any case of the kind oc. curries in the metropolis. In another place will be found an account of a meet ing of the county of Carnarvon, which, called to petition for agricultural protection, would have adopted by large majorities resolutions favoarable to the Repeal of the Corn-laws, but the High Sheriff thought it un desirable to have such a manifestation of public opinion, and adjourned the m , :eting. If the nun of Manchester had acted like those of Carnar6l - 7, and agreed to the excellent resolution proposed by the Delegates, we should have bad to congratulate them, as we sincerely congratulate the honest, bold, and manly Welshmen. The transactions in the funds have been of rather more importanc, since the settlement, and the tendency to an improvement w 26 parent again today. Coi4ols were 03 to for Money, and 934 for Account.

After thellailway question was disposed of last night, Lord MORPETH moved the second reading of the Iri,h Municipal Bill, a measure e.hich is a compromise be-' tween the two parties, contingent on. other measures, those for settling the Tithes and the Poor Laws, which have already passed, and to the principle of which the Toties as well as the Whigs have given their assent. It might therrfore have been expected that the second reading would have passed as a matter of cours:7, and ac cordingly Mr. GOULBURN,in the absence of Sir R. PEEL, on its being elovLd stated that he had no objection to the motion. The herd which usually follow hint, however, deserted their leaders, got up a furious opposition, and ended in getting the Bill postponed, causing that disor der and nit .riling business, of which the Tories so loudiy and continually complain. If some of them were not tipsy, they might. have been, and not deserved more censure than at present. They made a noise about Lord EBRING'iON'S appointment, which has nothing to do with the Municipal Bill. If their courage were equal to their lungs, or their attach ment to the Church equal to their professions, they would, as Mr. SHIEL told them, move an Address to set aside the appointment. But they are mere noisy braggarts who impede the business brought forward by others without doing any of their own. The Slate Market remains with little movement.

The Jury then returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 40, The Court was crowded during the proceedings.

Brazil and Egyptian are a little heavy of sale, and the latter are offered more fully at -14 to k decline. Speculators have taken 4,000 bales of Americas and 200 Carthagena, and exporters 120 bales of American. The sales to-day are from 6to 7,000 bales of all kinds, the market closing with firmness. The failure of a banking house in Regent-street which was known in the City late in the afternoon of yesterday, has nut had the least effect on the Funds, as it is looked upon as a mere chandler_ shop concern, and their credit has been declining for some time past.

This election has closed; Mr. Gisborne polled 164, his opponent, 57. Mr. F. Bruen is now the sitting Member for Carlow; but its return has been effected in such open and daring defiance of the Per share. 163,i 7 7'A V, law, that even a Tory Committee of the House of Commons must unseat him. The Sovereign of the Orange Corporation, without even the apology of having been so advised by a legal Assessor, took it upon himself to reject nine electors whose names appeared upon the books of registry, in direct contravention of the Act of Parlia ment —Dubin Evening Post. At the close of the poll, when Mr. Bruen was declared the sit ting Member, and his return protested against in due form. Mr. GISBORNE proceeded to address the electors. He said— Gentlemen, notwithstanding the result of this day's polling, I en tertain no doubt but that I shall be sitting in Parliament as the Representative of the borough of Carlow. lam also satisfied that I shall have your respected Sovereign as my near neighbour. He has taken his own view of the law, and, not for the first time, an erroneous view. Gentlemen, his ideas of law, and his notions of equity, are not infallible, and perms have been found who differ with him in opinion, and for the proceeding which I have mentioned he was dismissed from the Magistracy.—(Loud cheers.) He has this day, in violation of an Act of Parliament, and in the teeth of the plainest words that ever were written or spoken, rejected nine voters who were produced, and tendered to him by my agent, and for the breach of that law, and for his pre, meditated violation of the statute, it is my firm and deliberate con. viction, that he, your respected Sovereign, will spend the remainder of the season in her Majesty's gaol of Newgate. He has done this at the instigation (but upon his own responsibility) of Mr. Thomas Crawford Butler, Mr. Bruen's agent. Sovereign, upon his own knowledge, rejected the voters arbitrar .y, without inquiry or tOrm of any kind—his verbal assertion he c :emed quite sufficient— this was done to my prejudice, and has placed Mr. Bruen in a mak). rity—he was cautioned against the illegal course he was adopting, but without success.—(Mr. G. then read the statute violated by the Sove. reign ) Had he acted legally, I should be in a majority; and I now have only to observe, that I have written to the law ()Ricers of the Crown, as to the necessary steps to be taken; and, from my own Parlia. mentary experience, I Can safely assure you that a Committee of the House of Commons—l care not how constituted, Whig or Tory, Radical or Liberal —must seat me in consequence_ of this illegality. I care not if Sir Robert Peel, or ten of his folio mers, be on the Committee; the result must be as I tell yen. This I can safely prophesy. Mr. Gisborne terminated his brief address, amid the most enthusiastic cheering. MANCHESTER. • (FROM OUR OWN CORRESP:)NDENT EXPORTATION OF MACIIINERY.—The Duke of Buck Ingham, and others similar, might learn perhaps an impor tant lesson by a visit to an extensive engineering establish ment in this town. There have lately been finished, or are on the eve of being so, four steam engines Of 60 horse power each, for one flax mill now erecting in Belgium. The driving wheel of this immense concern weighs no less than 152 tons. The mill will be 300 feet long and 100 in width. It may not he amiss to remark that s.t Ghent, in 1818, only one steam-engine was at work, whilst at this moment no less than 80 are in full operation. Mechanics too are going to the same quarter in great numbers : it was only the 9th February that 19 went off in a body, per railway, for Belgium. It is also manifest that every panic, causing employment to be scarce, takes aundreds, if not thousands, to the same destination. There is likely to be gre s at opposition by some of the Manchester authorities to the projected junction of the Leeds with the Liverpool Railway. The churchwardens, And the surveyors of the highways, are both empowerz.'d with ample funds to protect the public interest. PRICES OF SHARES THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK, Paid.

The frost had set in with great severity when she left, and the river was entirely frozen over; Si) that ali navigation to the city was cut off. I obtained a sight of the Halifax paper to the 14th instant; there is no intelli gence of farther movement among the rebels, nor indeed any information of importance at the preseat moment. I t is to be hoped that tho despatches brought by the Incon stant will assist in bringing the important question of Canada affairs to a satisfactory conclusion in the two Houses —where the Home Government has suff..red„ so serious a loss of time from the ceaseless squabbles on thin rankling topic. The manner in which the Inconstant ha; performed her arduous service between England and Canada, accom plishing so many voyages, in the worst seasons, with much unexampled success, affords a very satisfactory evidenc, of the efficient state of this splendid frigate.

HANOVER, FEB. 22.—The Hanover Gazette contains the follow ing article : Notice having been given on the 7th inst. that the general as sembly of the Estates, prorogued on the 29th of June last year, was convoked, by order of his Majesty the King, for the 15th of this month, and every regularly elected Deputy having been especially summoned, it might have been expected these Deputies, who were chosen by the corporations and districts, and who had accepted the honourable post of Representatives of the whole Kingdom, and had not resigned, would have conscientiously performed the duties which they had taken on themselves, and would have paid obedience to the prescribed order of things. The following Del uties, however, have neither complied with the summons nor apologised to the Hereditary Marshal or to the President of the Second Chamber for their absence, nor, lastly, have they intimated their resignation of the post of Deputies. [Then follows a list of 22 Members who have not yet repaired to the Assembly.] The town, and the landowners who have chosen the above. named Deputies, have proved by the election itself, that they value their right. Having availed themselves of it, they expect that the powers they have given shall be used. The duty imposed by the acceptance of this office on the Depu ties of the Second Chamber who have not yet presented them selves, and especially the duty incumbent on them, according to the Standing Orders and the 52d Article of them, the neces sary regard for the order of the proceedings, the re-action of the irregular conduct of Deputies to the Estates (who ought to consider and promote the good of the country), on the conduct of the Government, and the interest of the country itself, a useless and expensive delay of the business of the Chamberi. These are points the mention of which is sufficient to show the necessity of seriously taking steps to put an end to an irregularity which can no longer be tolerated. The above named Deputies to the Second Chamber of the Gene. rat Aisembly of the Estates, are hereby once more summoned to do their duty, and either to appear or send in their resignation. Unless either the one of the other should be done by the Ist of next month, the resignation of the several, Members will be taken for granted, according to the standing orders, and such further step.: be taken as order and justice require.

Christian-and Advocate Delmote), were sumuu ned to appear this morning, on pain of a fine of 10 dollars, before two Commissioners appointed by the High Bailiff; and called upon to de clare whether they still consider themselves as Deputies to the Estates, with the notification that in this case they are required by superior authority to appear in the Chamber. A protest to the Elm that they were accountable only to the Chamber or to their cot sti t omits, was not received and the copy of the Protocol was rett sed them. Another letter says, '° The last two Deputies protested aga:rist the Proceeding (but their protest was not accepted,) and itamei iately repaired to the Second Chamber." In consequence of a difference of opinion between two Merilbers of the first Chamber, a duel was to be fought, which seems to have been prevented by the interference of high authority.—Hamburg Papers, July 26. . --__ Mr. Beuler, who gives an entertainment, for one night only, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, on written more).

CORRESPODENCE between LORD PO WERSCOURT end MR. ROI!.BUCK. ____„*.) 15, South-street, Gresverior-square, Feb. 21, 1839. Sir,—Having been yesterday the bearer of the enclosed letter from Lard Pcwerscourt, and nut having succeeded in finding you at your re,idence in London, I lose no time in forwarding it to you, and request your answer thereto, enclosel , under cover to me, with as little delay as possible. I have•-Ehe honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, To J. A. Itnauek, Esq. HENRY FITZROY. 31, Davcr street, Feb. 21, 1339. Sir,-4 have just seen in the Bath Guardian, and in The Sun news. paper of the 13th instant, a report of a speech stated to have been delivered by you at oath, on the 15th of this month, which con tains the following expressions : " I am told that Lord Powerscourt, about 13 months ago (and 1 am glad that he is now in England, to hear what I shal have to s,ty couccrniug•him), at some drunken exhibition, dared to use my name in a way that no gentleman would have done. I took no notice of it at the time, but I did seierve to myself the right of applying a scourge to that person's back, which should make him feel smartly, if be has any seuse of honcur or shame." I beg to request that you wili inform me whether the report at tributing these expressions to you i 3 a correct ,one. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient humble servant, PO WERSCOURT. To John Arthur Roebuck, Mg, Bath, Feb. 22, 1839. Sir,-1 have the honour to enclose an answer to the letter trans mitted by you from Lord Powerscourt. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. A. ROEBUCK. The Hon. Henry Fitzroy, M.P., &c. Bath, Feb. 22, 1839. My Lord,—l bare this instant received your letter of the 20th instant, requiring to know whether certain expressions reported to have been spoken by me are correctly repotted. What I said upon the occasion referred to, in its form is not very accurately given ; but, to guard against the possibility of any sins. conception, 1 wit! here state as accurately as I can the substance of what I spoke, and describe also the impression I intended to produce. I charged you, my Lord, and I now reiterate the charge, with being the principal in a proceeding which introduced into the eke tions of this town a system of corruption and debauchery. I said, " these means, to gaits the end of being e:ected a member of Parlia ment, were disgraceful ;" and the di , grace, such as I conceive it, laid at your door, as the principal, and therefore the responsible person in this immoral transaction. 1 further charged you, in your character of principal, with sanc tioning accusations of irreligion against me, while you at the same time and in the same character sanctioned .the corrupting - the poor voter with, drink. I called this hypocrisy, and I cannot now give it any other name. I also stated that your language towards me was not decorous, was not such as one gentleman should use towards another ; and I see no reason for altering this opinion, or this expression of it. In introducing these statements I expressed my satisfaction at your being in England to hela them ; and then used the figure which has been somewhat rudely treated in the report. " I was about," I said, " to apply a scourge, which, had you not been here, I could not have up'ifted or applied." All these charges I believe to be true, and it must rest with you to determine in what way, if any, you choose to refute them. For the present I am detained in Bath by the•sudden decease of the Rev. Dr. Falconer. His funeral takes place on Monday, and I shall endeavour to be in London, if called there by you, as early as 1 can with decency and respect for the feelings of the family of my late father-in-law. I am, my Lord, your obedient servant, J. A. ROEBUCK. The Viscount Powerscourt, M.P., &c. 15, South street, Grosvenor.square, Feb. 23, 1839. Sir,—Your letter of the 22d inst. having been placed in my hands by Lord Powerscourt, and it appearing from that letter that you are not disposed either to retract or to explain the expressions cob, plained of by him in your speech of the 15th inst., I have only fur ther to request on his part that you will make it convenient to be in London as soon as possible, and that you will refer me to any friend of yours with whom you may wish me to communicate on this matter. I have the honour to be, Sir, &e., To J. A. Roebuck, Esq. HENRY FITZROY. Bath, Feb. 24, 1839. Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday, in which I find this passage—" and it appearing by that letter (viz., mine of the 22d inst.) that you are not disposed to retract or explain the expressions complained of." I am utterly at a loss to know which of the expressions contained in Lord Powerscourt's letter have not been explained, and still re mained to be complained of; and I request of you to indicate to me those which have given offence. I made certain charges; of those you have waived all complaint, but something in the expression is said to be injurious. My intention was to state what I believed to be facts; and while so doing to use only such language as would ex press those facts plainly. I was, and am, especia'ly desirous of giv ing no cause of offence, except such as might be contained in the charge itself. Now, the charges are not complained of; the facts have not been denied; but the language in which they are couched is complained o£ I therefore call upon you, as the friend advising Lord Powerscourt, and upon Lord Powerscourt himself, plainly to indicate the words you wish to be explained; and in so doing I must request of you to confine yourself to the words of my letter, for the printed report cor tains expressions respecting :` honour and shame," which were not mine, and which I have distinctly excluded from my version of what I said. I write this, because I am determined, if possible, to prevent mistake. I have a right, which I will vindicate, not only for my. self but the public, to bring the charges which I have done; to them I mean to adhere, they have not been called into question, and cannot be refuted by the process which you propose. Tell me the words which I have used not necessary to the full explanation of these charges, and I will at once retract them. Lay your finger on at:y expression which is not needed for the grave accusations of my speech, and it shall be immediately withdrawn. But I cannot star r any one to put down accusations of this description by a quarrel about words; about words I myself am not solicitous, but of the thing itself I am so careful, that I will take all necessary pains, so that it be be not evaded or forgotten. Again, therefore, I call upon you to point out the precise words of Lord Powerscourt's letter of the 20th instant, which you still re. quire of me to explain or retract. The responsibility of the proceeding which you indicate is of so grave a character, that I am determined to make the whole burden hereof rest upon you, who deserve it. I am, Sir, ycur obedient servant, J. A. ROEBUCK. Tlic Hon. Henry Fitzroy, M.P. 15, South-street, Grosvenor.square, Feb. 26, 1839. have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 34th inst., and regret very much that my unavoidable absence from London, on urgent business, rendered it impossible for me to re ply to it by return of post. I must decline, on Lord Powerscourt's part, entering into any "fending and proving" upon subjects which I con ceive to be totally irrelevant to the matter now before us. Lord Pow_ erscourt complains of the language reported to have been made use of by you in your speech at Bath on the 15th inst. In your letter of the 22d inst. you repeat in substance, and nearly in expression, the language of which he complains, and therefore, to prevent all fur ther possible misconception on your part as to Lord Powerscourt's meaning, I hereby require from 3ou, on his behalf, a full and entire retraetation of, and apology for, your letter of the 22d inst., or that you will, without further delay, repair to London, for the purpose of affording Lord Powerscourt the satisfaction which he requires. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, To J. A. Roebuck, Esq. HENRY FITZROY. Raymond.buildings, Feb. 28, 1839. Sir—This letter will be delivered to you by Mr. Trelawney. who will on my part make all the arrangements that may be deemed re- quisite. It now becomes necessary for me to place you and your principal, Lord Power,court, and myself, before the world in those several po, sitions which the circumstances of the case entitle us to bold. I have pul licly charged Lord Powerscoutt with having com mitted acts of grave public immorality. When complaint thereat was made by Lord Powerscourt, I demanded of him to state whether he complained of the charges made, or of the :language in which they were couched ; offering, as I now offer, if he deny the charges, to make reparation for the error into which I had fallen ; or if the language only was deemed offensive, offering to retract or explain any expression that is not needed to convey simply the charges themselves. This is my position. Lord Powerscourt, and ,you, his adviser, refuse to state the cause of the offence taken. You do not denj• the charges; you do not say whether they were the cause of the offence complained of. You do not complain in general terms of expressions used, but you refuse to point out any one, so that it may be explained or withdrawn. In fact, Lord Powerscourt declares that he will perform what acts he pleases, and if any one shall presume to edit them in question, in the fair use of his undoubted right of award ing blame to the pu die acts of a public man, he (Lord Powers_ court) further declares that he wiil treat this blame as a personal offence, and fasten a duel on his accuser. Such is Lord Powers_ con; t's position. Your own position:is that of a man who abets another in this extraordinary proceeding, a, d who by so doing shares all the heavy responsibility which must eventually attach to it. I again refer you to Mr. Trelawney, in order that the whole matter be immediately brought to its final issue. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. A. ROEBUCK. The Hon. H. Fitzroy, M.P., &e.
