The Setasert re- Ported that th e petitioners against the return of Mr. LatIE N) for Carlow, had not completed the required reeognizances. The order for hearing their petition was accordingly discharged. diately presented a petition Mr. E. J. STANLEY imme to amend the return by in serting the name of Mr. GISSORNE. A new Writ was issued for Ayrshire in the room of Sir T. DUNLOP ; and as it was moved for by the Tories, t h 9 Y expect to carry that county. Lord JOHN RUSSEL L stated the motion he should submit to the House on Monday, and subsequently added that on Friday he should move to postpone all the Order s of the Di) , on Monday, so that he might then bring forward this resolution as a substantive motion. The ATTOENEY•GENERAL g ave notice that he means to int ro d uce a Bill to amend that part of the New Bank rupt Act which compels newspapers to insert advertise 'tents for three shillings each. Mr. POULETT THOMSON is, as speedily as possible, to move that all Railway Bills be postponed till April 23d. Would not a general measure be more creditable than this perpetual m e ddli ng ? sluesti .:The North Americ an B oun d ary was the subject of a on which elicited from Lord PALMERSTON the e lnferr nation th a t t h ere is a disposition to appoint n . -1111701sgioners to settle the matter.

The Pikeisrs are of more im- Penance than we had supposed, and have disturbed the repo se of official men. The House rose before six. The following is the motion which Lord JOHN RUSSELL is to submit to the House on Mon tle.), :......“ That it is the opinion of this House, that i t is expedient to persevere in those principles Which have guided the Executive Government in Ireland of late years, and which have and vepro o d ie uc gne e e dt r h al the e fectu a l a d m i n i strat i on o f t h e la w, If P e iroveme n t o f th a t p a rt of t he United Kingdom." fo r t h e words " late years,, -I,e " since 1834" were 10 be used, there would proba bly benot theob wctionirldtso 4h i 4 moti on ; but we are not sure that 41 to embrace the lat e years ,, may no t be held I)eri o d oc , L or d STANLEY'S Go vernment of Ire..

House of Commons will cordially confirm the prin ciples on which Lord NORMANEY acted. No intimation was given by Sir ROBERT PEEL, who was prespt, of the course the Tories mean to pursue, and, as it will be known in a day or two, conjecture on our part would be worthless. We know from their several organs that they mean to make a great fight on the 15th ; they have sum moned all their forces to the field, and any defec tion in the ranks of the Ministers will give them the victory. After the vote in the Lords, the present, or some similar course, was forced on the Ministers. Are those who forced it on them worthy of praise ? It the Legislature be the temple of faction, yes— not otherwise. Into the grievances of the manu facturers the Parliment could not inquire, but it has unlimited time to waste on the merest trash of party disputes. Our country is groaning under a vast mass of crude and mischievous legislation ; its population are discontented to the very core, the remedies of grievances are much in arrear ; and un der such circumstances all public business is post poned or slurred over, because Lord RODEN has a quarrel with Lord NortmANBY. To overturn the present Administration is the single object of the Tories, and to that they sacrifice the public interests. The great complaint of Lord RoDEN was, that Protestant life and Protestant property are not safe in Ireland. How should they be ? Who can ra tionally expect them to be safe ? For two hundred years have the Protestant owners of the soil vexed, harrassed, and oppressed the Catholics. Even yet they do not cease from their oppression, as the Church of Ireland, and the continued complaints we hear of clearing the people off the land, testify. Can they expect that the laws of human na ture should be suspended for their behoof ? Do they so firmly believe themselves to be the chosen children of GOD, that they count on a succession of miracles to save them:from the effects of their own misconduct ? They ought to have exterminated the Catholics ; to insult and op press them, and allow them to increase in numbers, was equally unjust and contemptible policy. F©r ages have Lord RODEN and his party injured the Irish Catholics, and do they expect that ven geance will never overtake them ? The true secret of all his complaints, and of all the complaints of the stupid, unjust bigotry of the Orange party, is to be found in the one fact, that the Catholics, by the very force of their numbers, are getting the upper hand ; and Lord RODEN and his friends, con science -struck, dread the vengeance of those per sons they have injured. As yet the Catholics have behaved, consider:ng their present power and their past grievances, remarkably well ; but what they may be driven to if the exter minating Protestant Lords should be armed with the power of Government, we shudder to think of. We know, however, in the present temper of the working population of England—the kernel of the ariny---that it will not be safe for England to act on the principles of Lord RODEN. In Ireland there is a small band of Protestant oppressors scattered amongst ten times the number of Catholics. The Protestants complain of the Government because they are not as safe as the gen tlemen of England, who live amongst their friends and men of their own faith. They condemn the Go vernment because it cannot protect, as Lord It ()- DEN says, a Lord NORBURY, and a score or two of other gentlemen, from the Ribbonmen's bullets. But is not this asking and expectin g t oo muc h f rom any Government? Is it not a mere idle fancy of the Noble Lord to suppose that any Government, however vigilant, however stern, however unsparin g , can protect lif e an d property i n such a situation? How can it make the people, all of whom are com bined by a common and well-grounded sentiment of hatred against their Protestant oppressors, which is carefully nourished by the priests of both Churches, give evidence against one another ? The thing is impossible—the attempt is hopeless, and the Lords t sa e %c, x . as p n e ocdft human it o m a p , i u y r s nt g a u sr b u u‘ r ,t e h t c iicl h he i y m h e ca r av a ne . omt G ard o e F eh r r n as the e n o e tred and a desire of vengeance tliitjeuints:ceeparabllfe compani ons and correctors- as Lord R ODEN fancies and says,lth s e ' G.overn ment could give more protection in former times, which is, however, very doubtful, let it be remem bered that the Catholics were then fewer, and weaker than they are now, and the Government was stronger and its authority unquestioned. When the Duke of WELLINGTON consented to emanci pation, he overthrew its power. Now the number of the Catholics, and their moral force, make it impossible to govern Ireland in opposition to them, and they can no longer be oppressed. If Lord RODEN were to change the Ministry he could not change the condition of Ireland ; but he would exasperate all its difficulties, and, restoring a t3:ralny, lie would probably compel the I r ish to revolt.i The Number of the " London and Westminster Review" just published, contains a long dissertation on the reorganization of the Reform party. The object is very desirable, the means of accomplishing it by no means easy. The party, if there be such a one, which we beg leave to doubt—which holds fast to institutions--have in them a material rallying point, which their opponents want. It is the ne cessary consequence of proposing reforms ur altera tions, that every man has his own peculiar views. The moment you give up the Constitution, like giving up the infallability of the Pope, you open as wide a door to dissent in politics as in religion. What is there, or what can there be, in the schemes of any Reformer to command the respect or obe dience of other men ? They have no authority They may be wise, skilfully combined, easy of exe cution ; still there is no means of gaining power for them over the ignorant, the self-willed, the pre sumptuous. Hence there seems to us to be almost an inherent impossibility of combining all Re formers to seek the same end. Circumstances may, however, effect that, though reason cannot. ' If we had a Government which alarmed our fears, or was guilty of some great oppression, a general enthu siasm might arise ; but all attempts to write Re formers into union are, we are afraid, quite hopeless. Since the period, too, when the Reform party was united, there has been no inconsiderable expe rience of the inefficiency of Reform. Its promises t.o the people were great, its performances very That gives no countenance to renewed exertions. " The effective political strength of the l w eoa o ps rk te ing.clas ses is," the Reviewer admits, " not the p v i .h rt at o e f ve t r he .f ßa b d e le n a ,, l body." Now we see no able n t s o _uni . te that body which the middle classes ny are ° in the pursuit of a t ' li t k i e tu iv tio t n o al ath r ,o e c ro a r t m e They look on themselves as cruelly deceived. They think the middle classes sacrificed them ; they are now in opposition to the middle classes, who appear as enemies to them, as they are generally the media by which, through the price of com modities, the Government taxes are l ev i e d an d they are embittered beyond the hope of any recon ciliation, unless some great and pressing danger should cement them together Thus, what with conflictin g interest a mongst t h e c l asses whom the Review er speaks of as the Radical Reformers, and what with each Reformer following his own crotchets, which is common to Journalists as well as other persons, we see no hope, we confess, that the object of th e R ev i ewer can be accomplished. . But we have said that we do not think there is any great party attached to our institutions, pre cisely as they exist ; and herein consists our hopes A few Peers, a few of the upper Clergy wish, we believe, for no changes, and dread the fanatics of their own party quite as much as they dread the Radicals. It is clear that all the Orangemen, all the ultra-Church men, all the O'SULLIVANs and the NPGHEEs, all the PUSEYs, and the PIIILPOTTs, all the GEADSTONEs, and the JACKsONs, in Parliament and out of Parliament, are not content with things as they want They want to carry b ac k t h e l aws ,— r they wt e. to Evangelize or Catholicise the Ch urc h t —they want more Scripture education for the people, more churches, more pa sons, or a more efficient police, and are as desirous of change as the Radicals, though in a different direction. If we had really no persons to combat but those " who are contented with their position," few would be our opponents, and easily would they be discomfited. There is not one of the Conservatives who dares affirm that nothing in the State requires alteration. The Clergy want to revive the Con vocation ; the ultra-Tortes to re-enact the penal law s. Now these divisions amongst the Conser vatives—the real bond of union between them is small. merely the expectation of place and profit—being , we apprehe n d, as ,-,- reat nearly as the division amongsa Reformers, are the sources of our hopcs- At least it is a consolation to us, if we THE SUN, LONDON, TIItSDAY, APRIL 9, 1839 are constrained to believe that the Reformers cannot be united, to know that the Conservatives are also split into repelling sections. We see but two means by which extensive reforms can be ob tained, either by the progress of knowledge, or the progress of events, again unexpectedly kindling the enthusiasm of the community. great organ of the Carlton Club is perplexed 111 the extreme as to the course which it may lie most advisable for the Tory party to pursue in the important quest:on which is to be decided on th e 15th. What to recommend in the unexpected circumstances in which the Tories are placed, the Times is utterly at a loss, and therefore gives them their choice of a variety of nos trums, to all of which, however, it admits there are objections of neatly equal force. The first sugges tion is to meet the Ministerial proposition, be it what it may, with a " direct negative." This mode of proceeding, as the Times says, has boldness and straightforwardness to recommend it, but for that very reason we may rest assured that it will not be adopted by the Tories while the voice of Sir Ro- BERT PEEL is paramount in their councils. It is, besides, liable to a fatal objection. It would deprive the Opposition of all hope of assistance from the Radical section of the Commons, who, it is observed, would " refuse to concur in a vote carrying even the semblance of a departure from their own recorded opinions upon Irish Govern ment." The " direct negative" is therefore dis missed, as it leaves the Tories to fight the battle single-handed, which they allow they are not able to do successfully, and the question is discussed how far the motion for a "general in culpation," suggested by the Spectator, is likely to catch the votes of the Radicals. " The advan tages of any such amendment," says our Contem porary, " are, that it would unite the suffrages of all who, for any reason, consider the removal of Ministers essential to the well-being of the country, and that it would not only ad mit, but compel into the debate, the whole range of those considerations which call for their dismissal. And this is perfectly fair," &c. Perfectly fair no doubt it is, in the opinion of all good Tories, who regard accession to office as the summum bonum to be attained by all possible means. Whether the Radical notion of fairness coincides with that of the Times, remains to be seen. We should hope it does not. We should hope, too, that the Radicals are too clear sighted not to perceive the trap which the Tories have baited for them, and too much influenced by principle to allow themselves to be caught in it. The supposed " debate" would indeed afford a spectacle no less edifying than novel. The parties who are presumed to coalesce for the purpose of passing a vote of condemnation on the Queen's Ministers are the political antipodes of each other. The difference in their views is not one of degree, as it is in the case of the Whigs and Radicals, but one of diametrical opposition. They hold not diverging, but antagonist principles. When, therefore, the members of this unprecedented coalition step forth to deliver themselves of " those considerations which call for the dismissal" of the MELBOURNE Administration, there will be exhibited to the pub lic as beautiful an example of the concordia discors as ever was seen or heard of in party combinations. The one portion of the coalition must found their vote of censure on the ground that Ministers have gone too far, the other that they have not gone far enough. The one set of confederate orators will denounce the policy of the Government, because they hold it to be, by its revolutionary character, subversive of the Monarchy and all its " time honoured institutions ;" the other, because tha policy has made no change in those institutions at all commensurate either with the prevalence of abuse, or the interests of the people. Such are the conflicting elements by an unnatural and momen tary union of which the Government of the country is to be wrested from a Liberal, and, to a certain ex tent, reforming Administration, and delivered into .he hands of men who are the sworn enemies of all Istitutional improvement, and popular advance ,. Can anything be clearer than this, that any vote of censure or non-approval of the Ministerial policy which should be carried by a union of the To ries and Radicals, must be founded in the grossest injustice on the part of one or other of the parties, for it is impossible that both can be in the right ? But we are not afraid that the Radical party in the House of Commons will be guilty of any such treachery—for such it would be—to the Liberal cause. They cannot but see that there is no shadow of reason to expect any other result to them from a PEEL Government, and a PEEL Parliament, than a considerable diminution of their numbers, and an indefinite postponement of their objects. Why then should they damage their own cause, and that of the publi c , by lending them selves to the Tories, who will gladly use them as instruments for achieving a victory over the present Ministers, but who, when once seated in Downing street, will turn upon them, and oppose them and, their system of reform with uncompromising, and, we fear, not ineffective hostility / men It will be seen by our report of the proceedings of the Convention yesterday, that one of the leading members made a bold attempt to identify it with the Tories, and take part against the cause of Ireland and Lord NORMANBY. The project was defeated by the good sense of Mr. FEARGUS O'CoNNon, and the Convention adopted a resolution to stand neuter in the contest, contrary to the well-accredited maxim on the subject of civil commotions. We know no more certain method to cool the zeal of those Noblemen who would serve the cause of the people than to treat them with contumely. The members of the Convention, who made the motion, must wish, if possible, to drive Lord NORMANBY and his friends into the a►ms of the Orange-men, and induce Statesmen of all parties to make common cause against the people. It ought to be recollected that peculiar habits of thought and action are common to the different classes of society ; that a Nobleman born is unfortunately bred up in a high notion of aristocratic privileges and power ; and both the precepts of his teachers and the general conduct of the people in . times past inspire him with a high idea of his own dignity, and lead him to expect great deference, and even implicit obedience. That may be wrong, it may result from vicious social institutions, but such is and such has long been the case. When the people, therefore, find a Nobleman deferring to them, or, as Mr. SANKEY called it, courting popularity, surmounting the prejudices of his birth and educa tion, and disposed, in ever so trifling a manner, to promote the cause of liberty, and do justice to the masses, though they be Irish Catholics, it is in our estimation not wise, not prudent, to re pel his advance with scorn, and even to speak of him as worse than a coercive, aristocratic Tory. We congratulate the Convention, therefore, that its decision was adverse to Mr. SANKEY'S motion, for its success would only have damaged the character of the Convention, and increased the alienation of those who were its friends. We observe that placards have been issued re commending the trades of the metropolis, in the name of the Convention, to form a new organiza tion to promote the success of the Charter. Per haps that proves a continuance of unwearied zeal, but at the same time it looks as if the organization of the Convention itself had not answered the ex pectations of its authors. We can have no doubt from the tenor of several articles in the German Journals, purporting to be correspondence from Constantinople, that Russia is now as busy in fomenting a quarrel between the SULTAN and the Pacha of EGYPT, as she was a few months ago in fanning the sparks of war on the confines of British India. If she can but get the SULTAN and the VICEROY by the ears she hopes, by playing the part of the mediator, to reduce both to a condition bordering upon that of avowed vassalage, so as to enable her at any moment to crush British influence from the shores of the Bosphorus to the confines of Abyssinia. The dishonesty of her agency, is worthy of the crooked ness of her policy. While her Ambassador at the Porte is perpetually chafing the haughty spirit of the SULTAN, by reminding him of the all but regal independence of his powerful vassal, her agents at Cairo are insidiously at work inciting MEHE MET ALI to restore to the map of the world, the ancient kingdom of the PHAROAIIS I MAIIMOUD and MEHISNIET ALI have received equally strong assurances of the ulterior support of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg ; but it is very easy to perceive that the promises made to the Vice_ Rol would stand the better chance of being ful filled. By joining the VICEROY, Russia would at once close the new British highway to India, and facilitate the " retirement," as the Cza rina CATIIA RINE 11. polit e ly termed it, of the Court of the CZA R, from St. Petersburg to the more genial climate of Constantinople. The well-timed publication by the House of Commons, of the official papers relative to the late trans. actions on our Indian frontier, exposing the base intrigues of Ru ss i a i n Persia and Affghanistan, will, however, tend to disconcert her schemes with respect to Egypt. In these papers, proofs are given of the prodigality with which she wastes her trea sures for the corruption of Governments, which, were they not so well authenticated, would appear wholly incredible. And yet what are the motives which prompt Russia to carry on in trigues at Teheran and Herat, compared with the magnitude of those which must influence her de ceptive policy at Cairo and Constantinople ? They are as a grain of sand to the countless heaps on the sea-shore. The Moniteur of Sunday contains a Royal Ordinance, renewing the Ordinance of the 21st of January last, forbidding the exportation of grain from the several ports of France. It likewise an ' nounces the arrest of from two to three hundred persons, who, on Saturday evening assembled be tween the portes of St. Denis and St. Martin, and attempted, by revolutionary cries and songs, to disturb the peace of the capital. Were it not for the timely appearance of a large body of troops, it is supposed that an attack would have been made upon the Chateau. The Chamber of Deputies was occupied on Saturday with the verifications of the returns of the Deputies, whose elections were disputed. The Report of the Second Bureau or Committee on the election of VATOUT, a partizan of the MOLE ad ministration, and the known creature of the Court, having bee❑ read, M. MA UGUIN rose, and stated, that although the Report asserted that no overt act of bribery could be traced to M. VATOUT, he was able to satisfy the Chamber of the moral guilt, not only of that Gentleman, but of nearly every partisan of the late Cabinet. He then proceeded in a strain of impassioned eloquence to describe scenes of intimidation and corruption wholly at variance with every principle of elec toral freedom. He maintained that the patron age of the Government was shamefully and notoriously prostituted for the corrruption of the representative principle both in the Chambers and throughout France. Attempts hav ing been made by a present and an ex-Minister to defend by retaliation the conduct of the late Go vernment with respect to the elections, M. JAU BERT repeated and confirmed the statements made by M. 'MA uGmic, and with unusual fervour de clared that it was not enough that the MOLE Cabinet was officially defunct, it was a solemn duty which the Chamber owed to itself and to France, to extinguish every hope of its revivification in any form. This declaration totally disconcerted and confounded the Court party. M. MARTIN (du Nord), ex-Minister of Commerce, attempted a se cond defence of his Colleagues, but encountered such a storm of disapprobation, that he was not allowed to finish two sentences together without indignant and decisive interruptions from all parts of the Chamber. This augurs well for the ulti mate triumph of the Coalition. We have reason to believe that Marshal SOULT has completely failed in all his plans to form a Cabinet. MM. DUPIN and PA SST, seeing the way in which the tide is setting in the Chamber of Deputies, have re•united themselves with M. TRIERS, and on Saturday they told the KING that they could not enter any Cabinet of which TIIIERS was not a Member. The accounts from Madrid are of the 31st ult., but they bring no news of interest. PARIS, APRIL 6.—A letter from Madrid, of the 31st., has the following paragraphs :—The news of the dismissal of Baron de Meer, has caused an extraordinary sensation in Catalonia. Apprehensions are entertained for the tran quillity of the province, which has been restored by the Baron, if this measure should be carried into execu tion Some uneasiness is likewise felt respecting Va encia. It seems to be absolutely necessary to send en 'orcements to that city, in order to protect it against the continual attacks of the insurgents, and the attempts of the anarchists. The Government has received satisfactory information respecting the progress of the negociations with the Northern Courts, which have been commenced under the auspices of England. It appears that the negocia tions, the only object of which is to induce the Northern Governments to recognise Queen Isa bella, are the result of negotiations opened at the same time at Vienna and Berlin. The Spanish Commis sioners are at this moment at Dresden.

William Palmer was indicted for uttering a forged order, for the purpose of obtaining certain goods with intent to defraud James Foster and another. It appears that the prisoner on the 26th of March, sent a lad to the warehouse of Messrs Foster and Co., with a forged order for certain shawls. The order was suspected, but the shawls were given to the lad, who took them to the person who was waiting for them, and he was given into custody. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. The Curt sentenced the prisoner to two years impri sonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. William Bray was indicted for stealing and embezzling Bs., the property of Edward Dowley. The prisoner was in the service of the prosecutor, a baker, at Upper Tooting, and was accustomed to receive money on his master's account. It appeared that he had received Bs. from a customer, named Newberry, for which he had omitted to account, and when asked said he had not received it. Mr. PAYNE, in defending the prisoner, contended th at there was au account bntween the parties. Several witnesses were called to character. The Jury retired to consider of their verdict. On their return they found the prisoner Guilty, but strongly recom mended him to mercy. He was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and hard labour. James Jones was convicted of picking pockets at Greenwich Fair—sent ence d to six months' imprisonm en t, and hard labour. _ _ „„,... Selina — Sinunonds was indicted for stealing, one petti coat, one brooch, one purse, and other articles, the property of Edward Murray. The prosecutor lodged in the house where the prisoner was servant, andmise to sed the articles in question. A j eweller nam ed King, swor haying purchased the brooch of a female resembling the prisoner, and Mrs. Ralph, the prisoners mistress, found the purse in her box. The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty, The prisoner was again indicted for stealing one shawl and other articles, the property of W. Ralph. The pri soner lived as servant with the prosecutor and in consequence of some suspicion the pr toosecur's wife search e d the pri soners box, in which she found several pawnbrokers dupli cates, and sundry articles of wearing apparel. Several pawnbrokers produced different articltese whichprose were pawned by the priso ner, and swor n to by h cutrix. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The prosecutor recommended her to mercy. Sentence deferred. George Edward' was indicted for embezzling 20s, and also 103., the property of Samuel Marti n . who y e dso had m some appearing that the prisoner had ern person to deliver a brief to Mr. C . Phillip s , ne glected to do so, the case was ordered t o stand over, in order that inquiries might be made into the circumstances. Maria Cane, alias Martin, was indicted f or stealing en the 28th of March five yards of cloth, the property of Henry Martin. The prosecutor is a woollen draper. The prisoner came to his shop under pretence of making a pur chase, and on her quitting it prosecutor desired her to open her cloak, when the cloth in question dropped from her person. Some witnesses were called to character. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and sh e was sen tenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. Joseph K e mp, indicted for picking the pock e t o f Wi lliam Tye, on S now -hill, on Good Friday last, was found G u il ty , and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, w i t h hard labour. Edward Potter was indicted for stealing and embezzling several hums of money, the property of Fanny Walker, his mistress. Mr. CLARKSON stated the MO to the Jury. The pro secutrix is a, carrier at Eltham, and tho prisoner vras in service. appeared that on several occasions the prisoner had received money for the carriage of parcels, Without accounting to his mistress for the same. The pro secutrix discharged the prisoner in November last, and in consequence of her sending in bills for the amount of car riage to different parties, a discovery took pllce. Mr. PAYNE addressed the Jury for the defence. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen tenced to one year's imprisonment, with hard labour, in the Houso of Correction. Joseph Fuller• was indicted for stealing sixteen dozen of slippers, the property of Simeon Lyons. Mr. PAINS stated the case to the Jury. Simeon Lyons—ls a slipper maker; the prisoner came to him on the 4th of March, and said he had an order for sixteen dozen of sippers, at 15s. 6d. the dozen ; he agreed to allow :the prisoner 6d. a dozen for the order, but said ,he must be paid ready money. The slippers were packed up and carried by a porter to the warehouse of Mr. De Passe, Cateaton-street. Witness and the prisoner accompanied the porter. Witness stood at the door while the prisoner and the porter went in. The prisoner came out and said that he had an order for four dozen more of slippers,when he should receive a check for the whole amount. They went towards witness's house when prisoner escaped. He saw prisoner afterwards in Houndsditch when he collared him. The prisoner escaped and summoned the witness before the Lord Mayor on a charge of assault, but when his Lordship heard the case he ordered the prisoner and prosecutor to change places. Cross-examined by Mr. DOANE—Does not know what selling by commission is. Has been in business five months, before which he was a reader in the synagogue. Gaye the prisoner no authority to part with the slippers ; never trusted him with the goods at all. By the COURT—Never got either the slippers or money. Is a Pole. Went with prisoner in order to get the money. David de Passe lives in Cateaton-street. Prisoner came on the 4th March to know if he would buy a job lot of slippers. Witness told him he might bring them ; he bought 16 dozen, and was paid a check for 91. 4s. ; said they belonged to a person who wanted money. Prisoner had been in the habit of coming with slippers to him ; never gave him orders for four dozen more slippers. Mr. Doane defended the prisoner, and contended that the prisoner had merely been guilty of a breach of trust. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN summed up,iand said, if they be lieved the prisoner got possession of the goods by an ;art fully preconcerted scheme, they must convict the prisoner. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. le majority of the inhabitants of Derby, in cluding all shades of political and religious opinion, have sent a letter to the Postmaster of the town, requesting him not to forward to them any letters, &c., arriving on a Sun day, unless especially marked on the outside to be forwarded immediate!y.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—La Sonnatn bula was performed again on Saturday evening with the same cast as on Thursday. As on the latter occasion Madame Persiani elicited the enthusiastic applause of her audience, in despite of the inefficient co-operation of a tenor, whom it is high time the return of Rubini should remove from a station so much above his powers. On the fall of the curtain Persiani was called for, and if her brilliant performance was acknowledged somewhat less loudly than on her first night, it was because the house was less numerously attended. All the great singers, whose combined talents promise us a season of unprecedented splendour, have now arrived in town, in cluding, wo believe, Mademoiselle Pauline Garcia, though it bad been rumoured that she was not to make her debut at her Majesty's Theatre before the month of June. Of the presence of the universal favourite we had certain evidence the night before last, when Grisi was to be seen paying, from an upper box, her tribute to the sweet notes of the sleep-walker. She looked, we are glad to say, in excellent health, her fair form having no reason to regret some loss of embonpoint. We are also happy to hear that through the active exertions of her husband and father, the casket stolen from her travelling carriage, on her departure from Paris, has been recovered, with the whole of its valuable contents. Grisi, we understand, is to appear to morrow with Tamburini in the Puritani. It would appear that the dillettanti of Liverpool and Manchester are to be under another obligation to the rapidity of their railway communications with the metropolis, it being, according to rumour, the intention of M. Laporte to make those cities occasionally enjoy. during the opera season, the eminent musical talent which he has so liberally provided for the frequenters of her Majesty's theatre.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY.—The demand for cotton to-day bas been to a fair extent, the sales 4,000 bags at full prices, the market very steady. We have received Cape of Good Hope papers to the 10th of February; they contain nothing beyond the usual state ment of losses of horses and cattle. Sydney papers received to the 14th of October :—lt is currently reported that the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for the Colonies has intimated to his Excellency Sir George Gipps that he intends, without delay, to appoint from home a variety of officers for the settlement of Port Phillip. Among the number mentioned are, a correspondent, collector of customs and internal revenue, with several other subordinate officers; it is also said that his Lordship has it in contemplation to send out a Government steamer, to be employed in the service of Government, and in the conveyance of passengers between Sydney and Port Phillip. Important intelligence has been received from Vera Cruz this morning by the Race Horse of the 9th March, stating that the Commissioners appointed by the Mexican Government, as well as those on the part of France, had amicably settled the affair. The British Minister, Mr. Packenham, was the mediator in the affair. The treaty has been sent to Mexico for the ratification of the Con gress ; when received the French are to evacuate the fort of San Juan d'Ulloa, and retire with their forces. The vessels in the port are to unload the moment the Custom house is ready. It appears that some anxiety prevails among the moniej interest in the City, a s we ll as i n t h e commerc i a l Comm? : pity, respecting the decrease of the Bullion in the Bank of England, and it is generally expected that the screw will be put on a further drain of the gold.

Last Saturday, it is said that at a grand council it was ' decided that under certain circumstances the Porte should go to war immediately against Mehemet Ali. The num bers of troops now collected in Asia Minor, between regular militia and irregulars, is said to exceed 200,000 men, and to attempt to keep such a force on foot for any length of time will be madness. The sooner, therefore, a crisis is brought on, the better ; but England must be prepared to act in case of need. Her voice must be the thunder of her guns, and then it will be heard and respected. We have the failure of the very old English house of Sarell, of this place. It was not unexpected by those who know that it is as difficult as it is dangerous to attempt to do a large business upon small means. It is supposed that a good dividend will, be paid out of the concern, perhaps fifty per cent. Money continues astonishingly scarce. The exchange down to 103 e. A Turkish officer of rank, Nadir Bey, who was formerly in London, on behalf of Mehemet Ali, to see what Namik Paella was about, has disappeared from this place, and is supposed to have gone to Egypt to resume his station in the Egyptian army. He must have taken with him vela able information, as he enjoyed the unbounded confidence of the Ministers here, who suspected no treason. Nadir Bey was originally a Pole, and is now supposed to have been acting the spy here for the last few years. Ho left the Egyptians service, nominally in disgust, in 1833. CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 19 (via MARSEILLZII).--We had, last week, " rumours of wars" which set our alarmists in a high fever. It was said that a body of the troops of the Ottoman Commander-in-Chief, Hafez Pasha, had actually crossed the Syrian frontier, and attacked the Egyptians near Aintab ; but since then, nothing having transpired to confirm this intelligence, it is generally be lieved to be without foundation. It is almost universally admitted that the Sultan has given orders to bring about a collision at the earliest favourable moment; and if this impression be really justifiable by facts, we may, ere long, expect to hear that the first blow has been struck. It is said that Hafez Paella wrote to the Sultan lately, that if it was intended that he should act he must do so quickly, as he had the greatest difficulty in keeping his soldiers toge ther, and they would soon disband unless employed. On the other hand he would answer with his head for the re sult of the attack, if it were left for him to conduct it un controlled. It is beyond a doubt that the Syrians are ready to rise, almost to a man, in favour of the Turks, and We are sorry to observe, by the annual report of the society for the discharge and relief of persors impri soned for small debts throughout England and Wales, that their expenditure during the last year exceeded their or dinary income to the amount of 2,124/. 18s. sd. The linen trade in Barnsley remains steady.

Yesterday morning, about five o'clock, es the ostler belonging to the Rose and Crown Inn, Croydon, was going to the stables, he observed the body of a man suspended by the neck from one of the shed's. He imme diately gave an alarm, and the body was cut down, and the deceased turned out to be a young man, named John Richardson, the son of a respectable tradesman in the old town. The deceased was quite stiff and cold, and it is supposed that he must have been in the position where be was found the whole of the night. The deceased had a horse standing at livery with Mr. Grantham, the landlord of the Rose and Crown. He was only 21 years old, and no ground appears to exist for the commission of the The occurrence has created considerable sensation at Croydon.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND The Bank Directors now use very little reserve in de claring and letting it go forth to the werld that they are dissatisfied with, if not alarmed at, their present position. Their chief aim, however, appears to be that of throwing the blame anywhere er everywhere but on themselves. They denounce the joint-stock banks, the speculators in cotton, the dealers in American bank-paper, and, above all, the Stock Exchange, as the cause of that danger they now plainly intimate that they perceive at no great distance before them. All these may have aggravated the symptoms of the disease; but the real fault, as has already been shown, is in themselves, and in the Govern ment, at whose diction they act. The only palliation to be urged on their behalf is, that they seem to have had some confused notions of the course proper to be pursued, but have mistaken the time for action, or rather, have thought it impossible that the crisis could have come upon them so rapidly as it is now doing. Their plans had all been prepared for the contraction of the currency some two or three months hence, but they thought meantime, that they might safely take the profit of large temporary is.ues, which would come back of themselves and set all right again. But they have miscalculated materially the extent of the drain produced by the importations of foreign corn, and also the rapidity of it, and are now as much at fault as if they had never arrived at a conviction of the defects of the old system. Their situation is one which should give alarm, not to them only, but to the public also. Their " legal tender" clause, and their double capacity of bankers of issue and bankers of deposit, the consequences of which have been repeatedly pointed out and foretold, will now stand in the way, and make it next to impossible for them to contract the circulation to such an extent as I will put a stop, whi c h i s t h e great point aimed at, to the exportation cf bullion. There is, to be sure, one measure, and one alone, which can save them, and that is another restriction of cash payments; but that is too much even far their friend in all former need, Mr. Spring Rice, to propose. Should they be driven to it, they will be declared by the general consent of the trading interest to have for feited their charter, and the only remaining consideration will be, what other means can be resorted to for the regula. tion of the currency.— Times. RURAL POLICE. The first Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire as to the best means of establishing an Efficient Constabulary Force in the counties ofEngland and Wales, has just been laid on the table of the House of Com mons. It is very elaborate and minute, inquiring ap parently with great care into the whole subject. We have not at present either time to examine the details, or space to insert anything more than the chief recom mendations of the Commissioners. They are as fol lows : I. That as a primary remedy for the evils set forth, a paid Constabulary Force should be trained, appointed, and organised on the principles and management recognised by the Legislature in the appointment of the new Metropo litan Police Force. IL That for this purpose an application in writing, under the hands and seals of a majority of the Justices as sembled at any Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the county, setting forth the insecurity of person and property, and the want of paid Constables, the Commissioners of Police shall, with the approbation of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, direct a sufficient number of Constables, and such officers as may, upon such exami nation as the said Commissioners shall make or direct, be by them deemed adequate for the due protection cf life or property within the county. 111. The Force shall be paid one-fourth from the Con solidated Fund, and three-fourths from the County Rates, as a part of the general expenses of the whole county. IV. That the constables so appointed shall report their proceedings to the Magistrates of the Quarter and Petty Sessions where they are stationed. V. That the superintendents shall be subject to dismissal upon the representation of the Justices of the Peace in Quarter Session:, and that the serjeants and constables shall be subject to dismissal upon the representation of the Justices of the Peace in Petty Sessions. VI. That the Magistrates shall frame rules and regula tions for the s rrice of process, and attendance at Petty or Quarter Sessions of such force, which rules which shall be submitted to the Secretary of State, and if approved by him shall be binding. VII. That the Commissioners shall frame rules and regulations for the general management of the Police, which rules shall, on the approbation of the Secretary of State, be binding. METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. The Times of this morning contains an clabortfe lead ing article, whose avowed object is to set its readers on their guard against 71. new mercantile Association, entitled, " The British and Colonial Trust and Assurance Com pany." " We have ulcer' some pains to ascertain the facts," observes our Contemporary, " and we now warn the country that this seemingly plausible Institution is just a plausible and deep-laid Popish conspiracy to turn the trust funds of testators to the advancement of Rornisli do. mination." Another leading article on the subject of Lord John Russell's resolution last night in the House of Commons, vvil be found under the head of " Spirit of the Public Journals." The Morning Chronicle, in the course of an article commenting on the state of alienation which our Contem. porary says exists between the higher, and middle, and the working classes, puts forth the following remarks " The more informed classes, if they wish to influence the labouring classes, must use the necessary means for ob taining their confidence. They must meet them, advise with them, and satisfy them that they wish no advan tages to which they are not fairly entitled. And the Ex tension of the Suffrage will supply a powerful motive to the different classes to cultivate the good opinion of each other."—For another article of the Chronicle see the " Spirit of the Public Journals." _ _ The Morning Post is, as usual, labouring hard to prove that the Irish policy of Ministers is about as bad as it is possible to be. Our Contemporary's arguments on this subject are as soft as his words are hard—another of his leading articles will be found inserted under the usual head of " Spirit of the Public Journals." The Morning Herald, speculating on the present posi tion of Indian affairs, says :—" An immense increase of our military and naval power in India, as well as in North America, and at home, is unfortunately indispensable, unless our glorious colonies are to be abandoned, and our position amongst the nations quietly given up ; but an in crease in our means of defence at home and abroad, is not more requisite than that a change should take place in the selection of our rule's." The Morning Adt•erticir observes, in reference to the intelligence frcm India :—" It is deserving of the utmost solicitude, and however objectionable may be the choice of Lord Auckland in the selection of a ruler for Affghanis tan, there can be no second opinion entertained of the ne cessity of establishing, through one means or other, an effective barrier against the stealthy encroaches of Russia on our eastern frontier. In Persia and Affghanistan are the materials for this barrier to be sought." Another of our Contemporary's leading articles will bo found in our " Spirit of the Public Journals." TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, MARC!! 13 (via VIINNA).-1 am sorry to say that the services of all the British naval officers who are here, with the exception of Captain Walker, have been positively rejected! Russia declared from the first that our gallant countrymen should not be employed, and of course the Sultan has been obliged to give way, and to refusf_ , to have anything to do with them. If our Govern ment are offended at this, to them unlooked-for event, so much the better; it is exactly what Russia wants. We cut such a sorry figure in the East, that, as a nation, we merit every indignity that can be heaped upon us. Our flag has been dishonoured in the Mack Sea, and we have not attempted to wipe out the stain. Our embassy has been in utter disgrace—drummed out of Persia—and our spirited Queen is made to treat the matter as one of little importance. Our Indian empire is shaken by intrigues, and we rejoice that we aro in amity with the friend who would thus strike a death-blow at the very heart of our prosperity. Had proper measures been taken, the Turkish navy might, ere this, have been an effective arm ; at present it is very far from being so.

He got drunk whilst Rie Issted ers administrators robbed the public right and left. het Pad a, known for his brilliant defence of yarns in the last ere has been made General of the Army of Reserve, conois s. ing of militia and irregulars, stationed at Kaisserieh. Tahir Pacha, the ex-grand Admiral, arrived here: e ‘t week, and it is thought he will have a high post. heirs. ;no, e of the very few distinguished individuals of the ernFire : ; but he has not yet been nominated, and himself talks en' soon returning to Aidin, his mushirlik. Narvik Pacha, f ore 0' merly Ambassador to London, after having been tried in diplomacy, in the fleet, in the army, in the quarantine, P nd et the military council board, has at last found an emph ty meet which, it is supposed, is exactly suitable to him. He has been made, what think you ? why noti:•ing leas ti tan superintendent of the corps of military shoemakers I I lately m ent i one d t h at a mission from Waaftcbis • gas going to England. Colonel Campiniano, the amb:SCS"stor from that principality, proceeds to• day for London, Malta, Marseilles, and Paris. The gallant Colonel is a t the head of the national party in his country, i. e. the party opposed to the views of Russia, who is preparing every thing with a view of ultimately incorporating into her vast empire both Wallachia and Moldavia. He goes to Europe for the purpose o f en d eavouring to open diplomatic re lations with England and France, seteese interests are tied upon the fate of the principalities. It is probably not known that in case of a war against Russia, they could furnish i mme di a t e l y an army of 100,000 lighting men, whilst they have already provided food nti.cient for 400,000 men for three years ! These things are nut generally known in England, and hereafter I will regularly touch upon the subject, in the hope of being able to tterow some useful light upon it. Suilice it in the meentlaee that Ih t you know who Colonel Cempinisno is. He it decidedly the most influential and one of the most opulent I of the nobles of Wallachia; so highly is he esteemed its his own country that lie is there known as the virtuous„ the incorruptible man. After the last rear, when Russia I began to act in the provinces as a conqueror, rather than a protector, his two brothers (who were patriots), by their bold opposition to this tyranny, excited the jealousy and hatred of the Russians who administered poison to them. The elslest brother died immediately, and the meeraid survived only to end his days as a maniac. The present colonel was then so young that he WAS not supposed to be dangerous, and either on that account or from some lucky accident he was spared, Hannibal-lik e , to swear eternal enm ity t o th e f uss o f hi s country, p ro has been a liberal patron of the arts, has created (it raay be almost said) a national literature, has encouraged edu cation, shaken the foundations of slavery, opposed in every way the Russian measures of the servile Prince Ghika, who is a mere football kicked about at the goodwill and pleasure of the Muscovite Consul-General. In a word, the Colonel, after having nearly exhausted hie effoils at home, where everything is prepa.ed for permanent ame liorations, now turns his steps towards Europe, where lie will be able to prove, to the most prejudiced, that hie country has claims of the soundeet nature to an existence truly independent. An attempt was made by the Ruseiane to stop him at Giurtova, on the Danubian frontier of Wel lechia ; but his popularity favoured his escape, and Ise reached the Turkish territory in safety. The new tariff is really in operation for the Reich and English since the 13th inst., although there are still one or two little matters respecting it which remain to be set tled definitely between the Porte and our Cabinet. The Custom-house authorities have signified to the Ottoman subjects that they do not participate in the benefit of the treaty ; that while we pay two per cent. on introducing imports for consumption, they are compelled to pay five per cent. ; and whilst we pay nine per cent. on receiving from the interior exports, they are to pay the old duties, which amount from 12 to 20 per cent. This cannot last. On the 16th the Capitan Pacha again went to the Dar danelles to look after the fortresses, and is not yet returned. I hear that not only have the services of the English offi cers (Captain Walker excepted) been rejected, but that Mr. Lyster and the American Captain Tyldon, officers previously employed in the feet, have been dismissed I HAN 0 VER. By the proclamation of the 16th of February the govern ment plainly announced, that by the electing members for the Diet, the corporations would dechre that they recog nised the constitution of 1819. Great interest was in con sequence excited to the new elections to supply the places of those members who had resigned, or who, by a recent proclamation, had been declared to bare re signed. Happily for the good cause, one of the wealthiest and most civilized corporations of the kingdom, that of the Marshes of Osterstade, Lehe, Stotel, and Viehland, was the first in the Duchy of Bremen thst was called together for the election. Governm►nt had sent fur the purpose the fletmann Reilibold, from ihm melparten, as commissioner, though it had alwaiye been the custom to charge the bailiff of the district weal: this commission. This Reinhold, who has the reputation of being a clever man, and a strict adherent of the Go vernment, ran about the country before the day of cit•etion, to persuade the farmers not to re-elect their old member. Not one of these brave fellows could be brought to rote against their conscience, and received their old member, Captain Bose, one of the steadiest leaders of the Oppozi tion, on the day of election, with loud and hearty The following declaration was at the same time voted un animously:—" Called upon to proceed to a new election by the Cabinet of his Majesty, in lieu of Captain Bose, who, it is declared, has resigned, the assembled members of this Corporation unt!nirnou.ly declara that they decidedly approve of the behaviour of their said member in •.very respect ; and that as, by the lately published declaration of Government, they would, by proceeding to a new elec tion, be held to recognise the abolition of the law of 1833, and the lawful existence of the Constitution of 1619, they refuse to elect, and that they intend to live and die with their good law of 1833."
