We have received many complaintsfrom Subscribers who are frequently disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is still farther aggravated by an extra charge of a halfpenny (the Post- Ogee fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition. This Edition contains the Latest News: Parliamentary Debates up to a Quarter to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together with the " Prices Current" of all the .Markets, as well as Official Prices of Shares in Railways, etc. etc.—The Betting at Tattersall's on Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Price of the Funds— .

Several railway and other private Bills were brought in and read a first time. Sir It. PEEL moved that the House, at its rising, do adjourn to Monday, March 31, which was agreed to. Among the notices of motion given was one by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, for the Bth of April, of a Bill to secure letters from being opened at the Post-office; and one by Sir R. PEEL, for the 3d of April, of a motion on the subject of the grant to Maynooth. In reference to this subject, Mr. WARD gave notice that he would, at the time it was most fitting to du so, move that all further money grants for the pur pones of religion be made out of the funds at present appropriated to the maintenance of the Protestant Episcopal Church. _ On the motion of Mr. CHRISTIE certain returns re lating to the Universities were ordered to be laid be fore the House. The evidence taken before the Dartmouth Election Committee was ordered to be printed. In answer to Mr. DENNISTOUN, Sir J. GRAHAM slid that he was not prepared to propose any measure to prevent interment in towns. Mr. MORRISON moved the following resolutions :- 1. That it is the duty of Parliament, in giving its sanc tion to the establishment of new railways, to render them the means of affording to the public the best and safest communication, and the greatest amount of accommoda tion, at the lowest possible rates. 2. That the clauses heretofore introduced into Rail way Bills to limit the amount of tolls to be demanded for the use of the railway, having proved practically in operative, it is expedient to make more effectual pro vision against the undue enhancement of the cost of travelling and transportation in every future Railway Bill, by fixing the highest rates which the railway com pany shall be allowed to charge for the conveyance of passengers and goods. 3. That for this purpose every Committee on a Rail way Bill, introduced in the present or any future session of Parliament, shall report a table of fees and charges, the lowest which they shall judge to be consistent, under the circumstances of each case, with a fair and reasonable return for the capital to be invested. 4. And that every Committee to which two or more competing projects for new railways may . be referred, shall require the promoters of each to put in statements as to the rate of charge for the conveyance of passen gers and goods to which they are content to be limited, and the amount of accommodation which they will bind themselves to provide for the public at those rates ; and that, in determining on the comparative merits of com peting schemes, regard shall be had to the extent and nature of the advantages which can be thus reserved to the public from each. _ In the Course of his speech the Hon. Gentleman complained bitterly of the conduct of the railway companies in regard to third-class passengers. In stead of attaching third-class carriages to all their trains, a plan which would be more economical to the company, and more convenient to the public, they preferred starting separate trains for the third-class, which travelled at a much slower rate, thus incurring additional expense for the sole purpose of inconve niencing third-class passengers. Mr. WARBURTON seconded the motion, and sug gested the propriety of adopting a maximum of rate s beyond which a company could not charge. Lord G. SOMERSET admitted the justice of some of the complaints which had been made ; but he doubted whether the remedies proposed were calculated to meet the evil. He would advise the Hon. Member to withdraw these resolutions. But if he could de vise any other mode of attaining the object he had in view, so much was he impressed with the importance of the principle, that he was quite ready to go with hitn. For instance, if he would propose some altera tion of the standing orders of the House, which would have the effect of obliging railway companies, before their coming to Parliament, to lay down some rate of charges, it might accomplish the end desired. Lord HOWICK had heard with great satisfaction the declaration of the Noble Lord, that though he did not coincide altogether in the terms of these re solutiona, yet that he was prepared to accede to the principles which they contained. And if the Hon. Member should be induced to withdraw them, he hoped that her MAJESTY'S Ministers would adopt some other mode, and that speedily, to accomplish the object at which these resolutions aimed. At any rate, he trusted that the Government would take up the matter, and give it their best attention before the great mass of Railway Bills which had been intro duced this session were committed. He thought it would be well to introduce some enactment by which lines of railway should, within a certain period after their formation, revert to the Crowh. Sir R. PEEL acknowledged the great difficulty of the subject. How could they erect a tribunal to adjudicate upon the prices which railway companies might charge ? The great doubt in his mind was, whether such a tribunal would not establish too high a rate. He thought that Committees on special Bills, keeping the principle of these resolutions in view, might be safely left to take care of the public interest. After a few words from Mr. DENNISON, Mr. S. WORTLEY, Sir G. GREY, and Mr. PARKER, the motion was withdrawn. After a short conversation between Mr. HUME and Lord LINCOLN, on the subject of lighting the House, the report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and received. _ The Railway Clauses Consolidation Bill (Scotland) was read a third time and passed ; and Mr. WAXLEY having given notice of a motion for the production of the Secretary of State's warrant, authorising the opening of Mr. T. DUNCO26IBE'S letters, the House adjourned at Twenty Minutes before Eight o'clock. What is Sir ROBERT PEEL about? Does he under stand the position which he is compelled to maintain? Is his occupation of it his own 'voluntary, spontaneous act, or the effect of circumstances which he cannot con- trol? Does he retain office as the head of a party, or of a principle? If of a party, what is it? Between him self and the Whigs there is nothing in common, but the reciprocity of mutual repudiation. True,—he talks of _ _ _ his intimate relations with the Conservative community of the empire, and the identity of his views with those of the Conservative section of the House. But the com munity in question disavow his political doctrines, as being too liberal for the scope of their own opinions and wishes. The section reject him, as having compromised their interests, and falsified his pledges to them, by the line of policy which he has adopted since he last resumed the reins of power. Neither the Duke of BUCKING HA3I, nor his Grace of RICHMOND, nor even Mr. W. MILES, hesitates to remind him that the landed interest, which each of them conceives himself to represent, placed the Premier in his present position; or forbears to hint that they can, at any time, displace him when they shall be so minded. It is not with their party, therefore, that he is identified. What, then, is the principle of which he is the exponent? Of the pro tective monopoly-class-legislation system? Why, it is very true that he has avowed himself over and over again the champion of the corn-law monopoly ; and, until lately, of agricultural protection. It is also cer tain that, by an unfortunate inconsistency, he has greatly marred the effect of his relief to commercial enterprise and trading industry, and to the pocket of the home consumer, by an ill-judged positive increase of protec tion to our West Indian colonist, although it is accom panied by a reduction of the duty on foreign sugar, the growth of free labour. But, on the other hand, the author of the tariff of 1342-43, and of the financial pro ject of February, 1845—the one largely reducing the rate of duties on articles of extensive consumption (corn always excepted)—the other striking off; altogether, at one erasure, the duties on 430 articles, and contemplating the virtual extinction of all export duties whatever ; this man cannot be said to embody the principle of pro tection. Sir ROBERT PUEL, then, is a ministerial ano maly, an official nondescript. His influence and his suc cess aro not the less palpable facts. The strength which supports him is in the inverse ratio of the basis on which it apparently reposes. If consistency in a public man be strength, the Premier's public position should be weak. If inconsistency be a principle of weakness, it works— in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S case—to the consolidation of his strength. Many previous Ministers have been upheld by the superior force of their own party to that of the party opposed to them. None before him, to the best of our knowledge, have made their fortune by securing the opposition both of their followers and their adver. saries. Let it not be said that if they maintained their authority in virtue of party support, Sir ROBERT holds his in despite of it ; for no man was ever more indebted than he is to the assistance of party. It is his habit practically to recognise this fact. He throws him self, as the occasion may demand, and without hesitation, out of his own ranks and into those of the opposition ; ar he defies opposition, whilst making a sentimental appeal to the sympathies of the treasury benches. The attrac tion which, one should suppose, would draw him out of his Premier's seat, is counteracted by an equivalent force operating to retain him in it. Like the fabled coffin of Mahomet, he is equipoised between two mag netic principles. 'Whatever the shock of parties, or his own oscillations, the result always leaves him in un disturbed suspension between them. In this whimsical, undefinable, capricious interpolation between two extremes, there may be something very astonishing, very artificial, very clever. We doubt whether it is very becoming in a statesman at the head of the councils of a great country. Is it a fair or a generous return for that confidence which a great people has shown itself disposed to place in him, notwithstanding its dissent from some of the mo re prominent measures adopted by his Government in past years, and its dis satisfaction with many details conaiected with his present Administration? Why should 'he be any longer unjust to his own reputation, and the demands of his own sta tion, by declining to adopt some more prominent and decided rule of action? Why hesitate between a broad and intelligible vindication of the sound principles of free trade, and a halting, unsatisfactory compromise with the obsolete errors and importunate demands of monopoly-protections and class selfishness? Surely the Premier is now strong enough to feel his own ground; to use his own feet; to throw away his "sliding-scale" crutches; to abandon his shifty supplements, his ricketty expedients. Does he imagine that, in that case, he will not find supporters enough in the House? Let him throw himself upon the support of those without ! Such a pro ceeding would supply a summary means of realising that victory over interested opposition, which the very fact of daring thus honestly and openly to encounter it would assure to him beforehand. It is clear, then, that he can gain nothing further by remaining within his present entrenchments. How much he may lose, he may have inferred from the spirited but serious de monstration of the Hon. Member for Shrewsbury, of a mutiny in the camp behind him, which already reckons able heads, stout hearts, and prompt hands, among its leaders. How much he has yet to gain by heading, in stead of following, the movement of liberal principles, and of a truly patriotic policy, to which the whole em pire is looking forward with the most intense solicitude, he can only surmise, by imagining himself already what, in that case, he would inevitably become—the most po pular Minister who had . ever directed the affairs of the noblest empire which a statesman can aspire to serve. The Lord Bishop of EXETER is a man of consistent ' contumaciousness. He has long acquired a notoriety as extensive as that of his compulsory divorce from the Rectory of Stanhope for his high-flying principles of prelftical infallibility, and of the inherent supremacy of the spiritual over the temporal jurisdiction. From a period long anterior to the time at which he polemicised himself into a factious importance, and the political re version of a bishopric, by running a tilt at the projected concession of the Roman Catholic claims, to the present time, he has lost few opportunities either of dis playing the " prelatica superbia" or vesting the odium theologicum so congenial to his nature. It is a pity—(for the Bishop)---that the times have passed away when a true soldier of the Church availed himself of the abun dant opportunities which offered for vindicating the prowess of the Church militant on her temporal enemies. In those good times your fierce Bishop doffed his mitre and assumed his helmet with as much nonchalance as, now-a-days, a young cornet exchanges his smoking cap fur his shacko. These hierarchical pastors moved to consecrati , ms or to battles with equal alacrity. If they were ready to preach or preside at the preaching of the Christian doctrines of peace and humility, with an array of armed partisans, resembling the splendid retinue of a powerful military baron, or with a sumptuously habited court and clergy (numerous enough to have gratified Lord J. MANNERS' yearnings for the revival of Convoca tion), they showed no unworthy weakness of purpose—no diffidence about their moral justification in marching to the more exciting pastime of war. Like WALTER SCOTT'S modern Irish soldiery, " they move to death with military glee." Many a hard blow, in border forays, was dealt by Bishops of DURHAM or CARLISLE; and Bishops of WINCHESTER and of SAINT ANDREWS are recorded to have fought in pitched battles with a zeal not less intense than—and we may surmise about as holy as—that which animated Pope Junius, when work ing in the trenches, or directing in person the opera tions of the siege and the' assault. Bishop PHILLPOTTS— HENRY of EXETER, we mean—is a most worthy repre sentative of the bishops-belligerent of our historical tra ditions. Could our times be rolled back to that remote point at which the enlightened toleration and Christian liberality of a few such unbigoted and self-denying priests as this Right Reverend Father would heartily desire that they should be, how astounding a lesson would he_ read to some of those meddlesome laymen who now presume . to interpose their unwarranted opinions in matters ecclesiastical ? Why, we would not trust Mr. CHARLES BULLER, for example, after a debate in which Puseyite innovations and their Episcopal patrons had been somewhat freely handled, within ten miles of Exeter city, were Bishop HENRY in residence there, armed with the old blew-- chical authority and power: In our mind's eye, we can fancy our gentle Bishop, mounted on his Barbary jennet, and cased in that" harness of proof" which still seems to render him insensible to the rudest assaults of his adversaries, heading his body guard at a fierce gallop to the spot where private information had led him to believe he might fall in with the luckless Member for Liskeard, on his unsuspecting return from a legislative campaign, to the head-quarters of his family in Devon shire. Oh with what a fiery glance of anticipated triumph would our good Bishop—followed by his deans and his canons and minor canons, his prebendaries, priests, and deacons, his proctors and precentors—all armed like him self, to the teeth, despite the cassock or the stole—have betaken himself to the spoil of such a Philistine But the days of practical prelatical doughtiness are past. If the Bishop of EXETER expect the advent of the most furious anti-Puseyite protester, by the fastest special down- train, in these deplorable days of radicalism and railroads—be cannot, publicly, venture ever to anathe matise anything more sentient than the boiler of the locomotive. He may exorcise the demon-whistle, or he may threaten the stoker with the censure of the spiritual courts ; but it is doubtful whether be would be much more successful in stopping the momentum of the train than he has been in staying the impetuous current of anti-Puseyite feeling. Yet still, the Right Rev. Father, albeit shorn of the good old power of other days, and oppressed by the accumulating forces of that freedom of thought and independence of action which the disas trous tendencies of the reformed constitution of our Anglican Church have so fatally fostered in the laity— still he retains the ancient instincts of his caste. He is, even in defeat, haughty, domineering, and litigious— smooth of speech, but eager and reckless in the indul gence of once adopted prejudices. Courtier enough to have studied the science of dissimulation profiundly, he is so much of a churchman as to permit the expression of his constitutional temperament sometimes too un guardedly to develop itself. The Bishop of EXETER has been of late too much, too often, and too discreditably, we must say, before the public in connexion with what, notwithstanding his Lordship's testimony to its solemnity and importance, we shall take the liberty to designate as one of the most worthless and impertinent squabbles that has ever vexed the repose or disgraced the dignity of the Esta blished Church. He has, in that unhappily officious spirit which, since his elevation to, the Bishops' bench, has always been embroiling him in some shape or other, put himself forward as a determined champion of the offensive pseudo-papistical observances, which make small Birmingham: martyrs of the WARD and PALMER disciples of Dr. PUSEY'S school, but which offends and disgusts about four-sixths of all the congregations of the Establishment in the United Kingdom. We had hoped, from the signal nature of the reproof's lately administered by every organ of public opinion, that our excellent Bishop would have been, by this time, aweary of the controversy. He has been already compelled—and compelled against his own declared convictions to the contrary—to abandon the ceremonials he had most vehemently contended for in a most elaborate correspondence. Yesterday we re corded another case of defeat. The curate of Falmouth has given up, it seems, the Puseyite forms which had so much estranged his parishioners from his church. Bishop PHILLPOTTS writes to him and the churchwardens in a sulky, " I won't-give-in-though-I-am-beaten" sort of style—that though, for the sake of peace, he had con sented to this abandonment of particular forms, " he could not permit, in any of the churches of his diocese the discontinuance of any part of the Liturgy (as ordered by the Rubric) which was used there at the date of his lust letter to the clergy (Bth January last). He must, therefore, require that the reading of a sentence of the offertory, and of the prayer for the Church militant, after the morning service at Falmouth, be continued as before." Poor Bishop ! He would have thought it graceless to leave his concession an act of grace ! Is there no retir• ing fund on which Bishops, after certain periods of active service, may be pensioned off the bench ? cite any interest, and will, of course, be passed. In the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of the Interior an nounced that it was the anxious wish of the Govern ment to calm the public mind relative to the Church lands, and a negotiation had been entered into with the POPE on the subject, the object of which was to get the sanction of his Holiness to the sales already made, Which would increase the value of the property, and quiet the consciences of the purchasers. It was under stood that the session would be closed about the end of April. The Three per Cents. closed at 35* at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 261; the Coupons at 28k; and the Debt without Interest at 8 at 60 days. A discussion has been carried on in the French Chamber of Deputies for some days on the motion for abolishing vote by ballot, which posesses considerable interest, as the question is one applicable to all consti tutional governments. At the last sitting it assumed more than usual interest, from the remarks which it led to on the overthrow of the BOURBON dynasty, and from one of those brief, sententious, and cutting speeches which M. DUPIN only can make. The Bill, as is usual in France, had been referred to a Select Committee, consisting of nine members ; of these, four had voted for the total abolition of secret voting, and the other five thought it ought to be retained, but only in certain in stances. M. BERRYER, who was one of the Committee, said the members were unanimous in allowing that it was most awkward, when the Chamber had voted by aseis and lel,q (one party sitting and the other standing), and the vote appeared doubtful, it was necessary to have recourse to a secret vote, which too frequently had the effect of giving a broad contra diction to the decisidn of the Secretaries. Another member said the ballot was an utter delusion—it no longer existed. Some of the journals had published lists of the PRITCHARD Deputies, and had announced that they would have them placarded in the 44,000 com munes of France. The practice of secret voting bad only one result—to favour a permanent system of calumny against all the Deputies who ;served or sup ported the Government, by furnishing a pretext for doubting of the sincerity of their opinions and of their courage. M. DE TRACY declared, himself a convert to the ballot. At one time, before he had the honour of being a juryman, he had thought that " nothing was more desirable for an honourable man than to give his verdict openly, but experience bad en lightened him, for when he felt the anxieties and doubts —the moral torture, in fact—incidental to the delibe• rations of the jury, whenever the vote was public, he felt it a happiness that by a secret vote such tortures could be avoided. Let the Chamber remember the address of the 221 before the last Revolution. Every one was aware what an influence it had exercised on the fate of France, yet it was notorious that amongst those who had then voted there were some who did not desire to acknowledge that they had done so. It might be re membered that at that period it was proposed to per petuate the event by a medal. But the medal could not be distributed, for 221 Deputies could not be found willing to receive it. They had voted, but they did not wish to avow their vote.—(Sensation.) The Chamber might do what it pleased—it would not be able to change human nature. All had their weaknesses and their fears." This roused M. DUPIN, who had drawn up the address signed by the 221. He demanded the parole. M. DE LA ROCHEJAQUELEIN wished first to say only one word, but the assembly would not hear him, and the calls from all parts of the Chamber were for M. Dueler. He then made these remarks on the great event which placed Lours PHILIPPE on the throne, not forgetting to put forward his friends, the Jesuits, as the prime actors in the mad schemes of CHARLES X.:— " I drew up the address of the 221 ; and, on the part of those with whom I then voted, I cannot admit the reproach of their having in a measure denied their vote, and shrunk from the duty of avowing the part they had taken. I deny that the address of the 221 was one of destruction. When a revolution had taken place, when it had been lawful and useful to the country, care ought to be taken not to allow its principles to be misrepresented or its origin falsi - fied. The actuating motive of the 221 had been fidelity to the Crown and attachment to the institutions of the country. They only wished to lay at the foot of the Throne a constitutional warning, which it was their right and duty to give. When the Crown, abused and worked on by evil counsels, allowed itself to be persuaded to guard at the head of public affairs a Government hostile to the opinions of the majority of the Chambers, the duty of the Chamber was to respectfully offer its advice. Could the document containing such advice be termed an address to subvert thin g s existing? Certainly not. lat that period de clared to M.Guernon Ranville that the Crown had a right to dissolve the Chamber. The Crown used that right; and what caused the overthrow of the dynasty then reigning was that, after that solemn appeal to the country, after a disso lution which was to give a contradiction to the majority of 221, or confirm the advice which they had constitutionally given, another Chamber came which held precisely their opinion. The Gov ernment dared not meet the new Chamber, and the ordonnances were issued. Yes, the ordonnances were then published by the suggestions of detestable ad visers—of only s ld e y r o cn f t a t certain,eodut would agai n aa ge ts J av leia e n s sh u fitdr i ciio t lie: c y ongregation friendly sgi same e r a sw e g nae a mde t g. i pleased..-Loud net n e:p:s w re eodw h su, i ei d c i nai h etne,hr t dii h fe w e st ntheoherefee7lni people s ley t ev e ea d er rer : hear.')

The Chamber 22 gLe was us eful one advice, of replied by a revolution. But those who gave the best advice were the least listened to.—(Cheers.)" This closed the general discussion on the principles of the Bill, and the Chamber rose at six o'clock. On the same day the Minister of Public Works gave an outline of the proposed conditions of the two Railway Bills from Paris to Lyons, and from Lyons to Avignon. It autho rises the Minister to adjudicate the line by public com petition. He is to declare in a sealed paper the maximum of the duration of the lease that can be granted. This period in no ease to exceed forty-five years for the part from Paris to Lyons, and fifty years for that from Lyons to Avignon. No person is to be allowed to compete fur the line unless previously approved of by the Minister, and unless there have been deposited in the Caisse des Dip(lts et Consignations twenty-five millions for the part from Paris to Lyons, and eight millions for that from Lyons to Avignon. The same Bill also opens to the Minister of Public Works a credit of five millions for the works on the line from Dijon to Chalon. The station at Paris is near the site of t he Bastile, and the line proceeds along the r i g ht batik of th e S e i ne to M e l un, the thence val passingvalley o fChangy and Loing, along t h ro ugh the forest o f F onta i n b leau, along far as Aisy, a distance of 147 mi les. It thence proceeds by Dijon, Chalons , a nd Maco n to Lyons, the distance the left bank as from Paris to that town being about 320 miles. The cost is estimated at 7,210,0001. ; the revenue is calculated at 1,030,000 f. ; the net proceeds 566,0001., or about 7 per cent. The line from Lyons to Avignon proceeds along the left bank of the Rhone, by Vienna, Monteli mart, and 'Mamas, and the cost is estimated at 3,200,000 f. and the revenue at 225,0001., or better than 6} per cent. The Univere publishes the following letter from the Archbishop of LYONS to the Minister of Justice and Public Worship, but it is evidently directed against M. DUPIN : ad ministrative rights for the use of Messieu r s les Procureurs- Generaux and P rocureu rs•du-Roi, and for the instruction of " If I had composed a zna nuel of le g al, commercial, or young advocates, and had in this elementary work, bearing the impress of my ignorance in jurisprudence, attacked the rights of the nation, of the King, or of the Chambers, placed privilege above common law, and confounded ordounances with laws, and liberty with servitude, and if this book had been laid before the magistrates and condemned by them, my duty would have been to recognise the justice of the sen tence, and accept in silent respect the double brand of ridi cule and of the tribunals. But when I remain within the limits of the spiritual Dower, and, seated upon my pontifical seat, cite before me doctrines opposed to the Catholic doctrine, in order to judge them, I do not acknowledge upon earth any power that can revise my judgment except the Roman Pontiff and the councils. The Council of State has not been made my judge in these matters by Jesus Christ." THE BOURSE--TUEDSLY, MARCH 18. First Highest Lowest I ast Price. Price. Price. Price.

The committee, according to a letter from that place of the 13th, had already met several times, but it is said the members do not agree on the main points—a very likely circumstance. Four Radical members propose to draw up a paper for the expulsion of the Jesuits, and then those of St. Gall, Bale (city), and Zurich, are to draw up one inviting Lucerne to deliberate at once on the in structions to be given to its deputies for the ordinary Diet. The majority, it is said, propose to send to Lu cerne federal commissioners to convoke the Grand Coun cil of that canton, and to transmit to It the invitation of the Diet, which is to declare itself. The labours of the committee were expected to terminate on the 14th. On the question of the Free Corps, the committee has pro posed the adoption of the two first paragraphs of the Vorort, with some modifications. As to the amnesty, they agree on the propriety of sending an invitation to all the cantons having political offenders to adopt it. A let ter from Lucerne of the 12th, states that several of the persons who were sent to prison three months ago on charges of rebellion, have been set at liberty. .. 106 .. 10G .. 106 RAILWAY SHARES.

Accounts from the Continent describe the mortality among the cattle as continuing very serious. In Belgium another contagious malady, called the black typhus, is said to have broken out, and our farmers, from all we heat, have very little reason to be alarmed at the prospect of extensive im portations. For the sake of the consumer it might be wished that it were otherwise. Owing to the influx of German labourers into Holland, the Dutch Minister of the Interior has decided upon employing natives only upon the public works, unless in cases of special recommendation by the engineers, on account of talent or other qualifications. It would appear by this that employment is scarce in Ger many, and indeed, from circumstances mentioned under this head a few days since, we believe such to be the case.

EXPERIMENTAL STEAM-BOAT CRUISE.—THE SCREW V. THE PADDLE-WHEELS.—The Rattler, screw-propelled steam sloop, Commander Smith, and the Alecto, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Lieut. Commander Hoseason, have left Wool wich, on an experimental trip. The Admiralty have or dered them to cruise in the North Sea, and not to return until they have had sufficient opportunity of establishing their comparative superiority in point of speed and other qualities. Their Lordships on this as well as on other recent occasions granted permission to any naval officer who was desirous of witnessing the trials to be accommodated on board one or other of the sloops. The vessels are of equal tonnage and horse power, and are commanded by experienced officers, but we still think it is hardly fair to the principle of the screw propeller to risk its character in such an ill adapted form as that of the Rattler. In rough weather, the Alecto's paddle-wheelg must be of good service in keeping her comparatively steady, while the Rattler will necessarily roll, and in some degree paralyse the efforts of the screw, and reduce her speed through the water. Under all circum stances, however, the Admiralty deserve the greatest credit is instituting these trials. AMERICAN SEAMEN.—By a report made to Con gress by the chairman of the Naval Committee (Mr. Reade) it has been ascertained that out of 109,000 seamen sailing out of the United States, only 9,000 were Americans, or a proportion of Ito 12. The Ohio ship-of-the-line sailed from New York on a three years' cruise, with a crew of 1,000 men, only 182 of whom were Americans ; and the Delaware went to sea with a less number in proportion. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vutatt ptittoit. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The number of persons killed by the explosion of the pow der magazine at Algiers is 88, besides 48 persons wounded. They are principally soldiers of artillery. Marshal Bugeaud left Paris for Algiers on Tuesday. He will be followed in a few days by his Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier. The appeals to the Cour Royale, by the Procureur du Roi, against the judgment of the Tribunal of Correctional Police in the case of Walker, Ogilvie, Frazer, Lambert, Peyronnet, and the woman Emma Caye, for cheating with marked cards, came on on Monday. An imense crowd com pletely filled the Court. M. Gashon read the report. The President having interrogated the parties accused, they made the same protestations as before the Correctional Tribunal, and adduced the like defence. The Advocate-General, M. Nougnier, delivered his arguments in support of the appeal, and called upon the Court to pronounce conviction. The Court adjourned to the following day. According to a Vienna letter of the 10th, in the Augsburg Gazette, the convulsed state of Switzerland has induced the Austrian Government to send a force of between 3,500 and 4,000 men, under the command of Count Lechnowsky, to re inforce the Austrian garrisons on the Swiss frontiers. The journals of Italy state that the winter still continued in that part of the world. The Diario of Rome mentions that the cold was as great as six degrees below zero of Reaumur (11 below freezing). At Naples it was at two degrees be low zero (3i below freezing), which for that place is extra ordinary. The captain of the Phenicien, which arrived at Marseilles, states that the tower of the lighthouse has been erroneously comprised amongst the edifices destroyed at Algiers. The light Was merely put out, either by the shock or by the stones that were thrown. The glass of ,the lantern was broken, but the next day everything was temporarily re paired, and the light was exhibited as usual in the evening. In its last session the Council-General of the Seine-Infe rieure had expressed a wish to have an inquiry instituted to learn the causes of the depopulation on the coaste of the Channel. The Prefect of the Seine-Inferieure has, in conse quence, just ordered the inquiry to be made. We learn from Rochefort that orders have been received at that port to prepare for sea the steam-frigates Descartes, of 450, and Infernal, of 320-horse power. According to a letter from Constantinople of the 26th ult. in the Augsburg Gazette, the Divan has addressed another note to the Ambassadors of the great Powers, promising early payment of the indemnity d u e t o th e M aron it es , and - that their privileges and those of the Druses shall be fully respected. Dr. Wolff arrived at Constantinople on the 22d, and was to leave for London by the Oriental Steam Company's packet. A Berlin letter of the 10th instant says :—" The great composer, Weber, at the time of his death, was engaged in writing the music of a comic opera, and among his papers were found the scores of eleven pieces of the work entirely finished. According to the desire of the King of Prussia, M. Meyerbeer has undertaken to finish the opera, which will be brought out on our first lyric stage, under the auspices of his Majesty. As the libretto has become a little old-fashioned the celebrated poetess and actress, Mme. Charlotte Birch Pfeiffer, will retouch and so arrange it, that the first act will contain exclusively the eleven pieces written by Weber, and consequently the whole of the music of the second act will be by M. Meyerbeer, who will also compose the overture." 11.45.V7 AND PDXAON. At Lewes, George Curd was convicted of uttering a forged 101. note, as far back as 1840. He had managed to elude the police until December last, when he was taken in London. His identity was distinctly proved, and it further appeared that he belonged to a sang of forgers. Patching. Burgess, and Layhurst, the Sussex house breakers, who have during the winter spread such terror in the neighbourhood of Brighton, pleaded Guilty to several indict ments, and were sentenced by Mr. Baron Alderson to ten years' transportation. Mary Ann Hounsell and Jane Gates, for receiving the stolen property, were sentenced—the first to be imprisoned for two years, and the second for eighteen months. Two men, named Walton and Proffit, were convicted at Stafford of poaching on Sir Robert Peel's lapels. They had been out on bail, and surrendered to take their trial. Mr. Baron Platt sentenced Walton to one year's hard labour, and Proffit, who had been convicted of a similar offence before, to seven years' transportation, the severity of which created much apparent surprise. At Derby, an astrologer, named Coulson, brought an action against two magistrates, for having sent him to prison for two months as a rogue and a vagabond. The action was brought by a Society, calling itself the Astrological Cerebral Mes meric Society of London. The plaintiff was non. suited. How comes it that these learned pundits did not ascertain either by astrology, or some other ology or ism, that such would be the event of the action before they went into court ? Robert White, convicted at York of highway robbery, was sentenced by Mr. Justice Wightman to be transported for 15 years. At the Surrey sessions, the policeman Hall, whose case has already been before the public, was convicted of robbing the till of Joseph Dennison, potatoe salesman, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. At Greenwich, James Parsons, of Arbour-square, Com mercial-road, East, was brought up for final examination, charged with being connected with another man not in custody, of stealing 84 deals from the dock of the Grand Surrey Canal, Rotherhithe, and fully committed for trial. COVET-FASHIONABLE. Lord and Lady Wharncliffe intend to remain in town during the Easter recess. His Lordship continues slightly indisposed from an attack of gout. Lady Emmeline Stuart Wortley is staying on a visit to her Noble Father, the Duke of Rutland, at Belvoir Castle. The Lord Chancellor and Lady Lyndhurst and the Hon. Miss Copley have left town for his Lordship's seat, Turville Park, near Maidenhead. The Right Hon. Sydney Herbert continues to occupy his late official residence at the Admiralty until the Right Hon. Gentleman shall have taken a mansion for the season. Lord Suirdale, after an absence of two or three years on foreign service in China, with the 98th Foot, has arrived at the residence of his Noble Father, the Earl of Donoughmore, at his seat, Palmerston, Dublin. The Earl' of Hardwicl:e, Earl Fitzwilliam, and many others of the leading nobility of the county, attended the meeting of persons interested in the Bedford Level at Ely. Earl and Countess Delawarr have arrived at Bourne Hall, Cambridgeshire, where the Noble Earl and family purpose to remain until after the Easter holidays. The Earl of Essex has arrived in Chapel-street, Park-lane, from Cashiobury Park, near Watford, Herts. The Countess and family are staying at that seat. Viscount Malden has arrived in town.

MISCELLANEOUS. A notification ba7sl7eerTis7st7ediTyTheP;;t-office authorities that on Good Friday no business will be transacted during the day at the money order office, St. Martin's-le Grand. The Earl of Shrewsbury has sold 85 acres of land in Che shire to a building company for 35,0001., and has purchased the estate of Cotton, in Staffordshire, with the proceeds. The soiree at the British and Foreign Institute was at tended by the Duke and Duchess of Victoria, Donna Espar tero, and Colonel Gurrea, whose presence excited no little in terest. Thanks to the polite and efficient management of Mr. Buckingham, the evening passed most agreeably. Stockwell-green, a beautiful and open, piece of ground at the corner of the road to South Lambeth, and nearly opposite the Swan, at Stockwell, after being so many years the most open and healthy part of that vicinity, has now been nearly covered with buildings, and to such an extent that nearly all trace of the former green is lost. The large Tenter ground, nearer Kennington-common, is also being built upon, so that the road, from Kennington to Clapham-common may now be said to be a continuous street. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
