'Lord CAMPBELL called the attention of the House of Lords . to what he considered an unjustifiable delay -in giving the Royal Assent to the Bill for reducing the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. By a clause iq that the dissentients were required to express their dissent on or before the 23d of this month. The Bill - now could not become law before four o'clock on Fri • day, so that only a few hours would be given to the many thousands who resided at a distance, to give • their dissent. He objected to this course, as it might be taken as a precedent. ' ' The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had received inti mation from the House of Commons that it would be more convenient to have the Commission on Friday, There had, however, been only three notices of dis `sent, and he believed no more would be given. Lord MONTEAGLE concurred in the remarks of Lord CAMPBELL, but he did not think the delay would produce any inconvenience, and he was sur prised that there had been even one notice of dissent, as the measure -was so advantageous. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill, and detailed at some . length the alterations proposed. The Bill, as far as we can judge from the statement of Lord L'IND.• BURST, made no change of material importance ; it left all the diocesan courts in full vigour; and, though some of the minor courts would be abolished, all the old causes of complaint would still remain. "Lord COTTENHAM opposed the Bill, and stated his objections at some length in an excellent speech. He thought the measure was fraught with much mischief, and therefore moved that the Bill be read that day six months. . The Bishop of LONDON supported the measure, and defended himself in the best way he could for sup porting this Bill, which, in many respects, was amilar to others which he had opposed. He supported the Bill on the ground that it was the only one likely to receive the assent of Parliament. Lord BROUGHAM supported the Bill chiefly on the ground that. it did away with the Courts of Pecu-, liars and Exempts, but reserved to himself the right of proposing in Committee such amendments ash- he might see fit, . Lord CAMPBELL was opposed to the Bill, and• pointed out the inconsistency of leading Members of the Government who supported the Bill of last session, yet gave it up at the wish of the section of a party. There was some mystery about that transaction which required explanation. The Loan CHANCELLOR, in reply, said the Bill could be read a second time, and an amendment might be moved for the purpose of carrying into effect the measure of last session, but he would no t give his assent to any•such amendment, and on that point every Member of the Government concurred. The Bill was then read a second time, and the House adjourned at Nine o'Clock. On the motion of Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE, a new writ was ordered for the borough of Christ church, in the room of Sir G. H. ROSE. Mr. G. CRAIG moved that the order issued on the 15th, relative to the Edinburgh and Glasgow, and several other Railway Bills for Scotland, be dis charged. Mr. GLADSTONE and several other Mem bers opposed the motion, and, on a division, it was lost by a majority of I. Mr. IVicsn presented a petition from the members .. of the Repeal Association in Ireland, praying for in. quiry into the late State prosecutions. The petition was signed by 821,334 persons, and had been got up in three weeks. The petition was of an enormous size, and, on being carried up to the table by six Members, one of the bearers being Mr. O'CONNELL, excited much laughter. The petition was read at length by the Clerk, when Mr. WTYSE moved that it be painted. The SPEAKER, however, informed him that he must give a specific notice to that effect, when Mr. Wysz said he would move the question on Monday.. Mr. E WART brought forward a motion for a reduc tion of the import duties ; but after he had spoken for only a short time, a motion was made to count the House, and, there being only thirty-eight Mem- Ws.,preSeht, it adjourned at Seven o'Clock. Tim works within the inclosure of Trafalgar square, says a Morning Contemporary, are proceeding rapidly towards completion, Mr. BARRY, the archi- tect, having devoted much of his time, of late, to per- fecting his , arrangements, so that he may be enabled to throw the wliole open to the public during the summer months. The artesian well is likewise fast advancing, the bore having been already sunk a considerable dela. The basins of the fountains will he eighty- - three feet in diameter, and are to be covered with . MAunes, patent Portland cement. Such is the brisk, active spirit, in which improvements are carried - bn at the West-end of the metropolis. • There is no dilatoriness or indifference evinced—no ' .vexatious opposition offered or permitted; the im gheirients once decided on Late completed with the utmost zeal and rapidity. It is not more than four years, if so much, since the idea was first started of erecting a statue to NELSON, and adorning with suitable 'embellishments the interior of Trafalgar square ; and 10, the statue is already finished and set up on its column ; and the well, and the basins, and the fountains also are all to be completed and thrown open to the fashionable public this sum mer ! How different is the spirit in which im provements are conducted at the East-end of Lon don ! In that remote, uncivilised, plebeian region, all is neglect—torpor—cool, easy indifference. About the same time that it was proposed to embellish the interior of Trafalgar-square, it was proposed also to form a Victoria Park for the accommodation of the inhabitants of Bethnal-green, Spitalfields, White chapel, &c. The Square is to be finished this sum mer, the Park is not even to be commenced till this autumn ! The cause of the activity in the one case, and of the dilatoriness in the other, is easily accounted for. Those who live at the West end are all respectable folks—members of the thriving family of the Somebodies, consequently their wishes and interests must be treated with respect; those, on the contrary, who vegetate at the East-end are poor, helpless, vulgar operatives and tradesmen—mere Nobodies—consequently, they can afford to wait—indeed it is their duty to wait, patiently, submissively, and thankfully, until it suits the leisure and inclination of the official authorities to pay attention to their wants. We allude to these cir cumstances in no invidious or carping spirit, but sim ply because we feel it our duty to take every opportunity of urging the claims of the poor , i}nd defenceless, which we cannot but know are never too diligently attended to even at the best of times; and because also we feel, in the present case, that the formation of a " Victoria Park" is an absolute necessity in the close, pent-up, neighbourhood of the East-end of London, while the embellishment of Trafalgar-square is a mere matter of taste and luxury, whose only recommendation is, that it is pleating in the eyes of thow who reside at the West-end. An interesting and affecting case was heard at the Queen-square Police-office, yesterday. A Misi ELIZABETH BURTON, seventy-nine years of age, was charged with, begging, when it appeared, to quote the language of the Reporter, " that in the exercise of their vocation as mendicants, she and her sister were frequently apprehended; but whether in the streets of the metropolis, or within the walls of a prison, they had always been insepa rable, until yesterday morning, when for the first time the prisoner was found begging alone." The Magistrate having asked her what had become of her sister, the following was her simple and touching answer—" Oh, Sir, she's lying very ill at home, dying ! I was really obliged to go out and beg this time to get the poor creature something. I am sure I shall never live after she is gone." Greatly to the credit of hig good sense and humanity, the Ma gistrate,•on hearing this artless., statement, not only dismissed the prisoner, but gave her some money; ob -serving that "he could not think of separating the sisters under such circumstances." We have alluded to this circumstance, because it affords another striking illustration of that inherent kindliness and generosity of nature which is found not merely among the poor, but the hopelessly destitute, far oftener than. your wealthy and respectable folks imagine. It is easy to talk of the recklessness and depravity of spirit which poverty engenders, by way of justifying the indifference of the rich towards the poor; but here we find—and we have read lately of many similar cases -- the warmest, purest, and noblest feelings of the human heart surviving even in the midst of hopeless, squalid destitution ; and this, too, at an advanced period J life, when callous selfishness, egotism, and indiffer ence too often gain the ascendant in the breasts both of men and women, to the utter exclusion of every healthy and generous emotion. We have just received the portly " Blue Book" containing the Report (and depositions of witnesses therein referred to) of the Commissioners appointed by Royal Commission under the sign manual, dated Windsor, Oct. 7, 1843, " for the purpose of making a full and diligent inquiry into the present state of the laws as administered in SOUTH WALES, which regu late the maintenance and rePair of turnpike roads, highways, and bridges ; and also into the circum stances which have led to recent acts of violence and outrage in certain districts of that country." The well-known disturbances which " REBECCA'S" orga nised and daring demonstrations of physical force occasioned in many parts of the Principality, and, in some cases, almost simultaneously ; the ; offences and crimes in which those disturbances resulted, and the special tribunal constituted for the trial of some of the offenders who had been engaged in them, must be still fresh in the minds of our readers. Some persons are, still , of opinion that the character and amount of the " troubles in Wales" were a good deal exaggerated for the " meridian of London ;" but we never heard a - doubt expressed touching the expediency of this Com mission of Inquiry into the latent causes .of such alarming discontents among a people remarkable, at all times, for their loyalty and their general submis sion to the laws: We will endeavour to give a suc cinct statement of the contents of the Report. The Commissioners (the Right Hon. FRANKLAND riEWIS, and R. H. CLIVE and Wm. CarPrs, Esqs.) have divided this document into the following sec tions :—lntroductory Report, a sort of historical re sunlit of facts; statements respecting particular trnsts ; general ditto as to Pembrokeshire, Cardiganshire, Radnorshire, Breconshire, Glamorganshire ; con-, elusions and suggestions derived frOm the above de tails ; of tithe in South Wales ; poor-law,- of its ad- Ministration ; "magistrates'clerks' fees; eounty rate; " minutes of evidence".. of nearly 200 -witnesses. These are preceded by 'a good lithographed map, showing, by coloured lilies; the . difeetion and extent of the said trusts. The Report bears date only the 6th inst., and occupies 579 folio pages. The expe- - dition with which these have been printed, and the technical execution and accuracy of the work being alike honourable to the establishment of Messrs. CLOWES and Soils, the eminent printers of Stamford street. The Commission was publicly opened at Carmarthen on the 25th of October, 1843 ; and. after three weeks occupied in taking evidence and receiving informa tion (which it had solicited from all quarters); it re moved to Haverfordwest. From hence, after dill— gently examining into the state of Pembrokeshire, and the transactions which had occurred therein, it successively. visited Cardigan and Radnor, and in these counties instituted similar inquiries. Its next sittings were held in Breconshire, and " the wealthy and populous county of Glamorgan." After " visiting in succession the principal towns" therein, it ter minated its " inquiries at Merthyr-Tydvil on the 13th December last." The Commissioners express their belief that the disturbances in South Wales had not originated in any political causes : " The chief grbunds of complaint were the mis management of the funds applicable to turnpike-roads, the frequency and the amount of the payments of tolls, and, in some cases, the vexatious conduct of toll collectors, and the illegal demands made by them: the increase in the amount payable for tithe under the Tithe Conn:Mita tion Act, the unequal distribution of the rent charges, and the variable payments, fluctuating with the average price of corn: the operation of the Poor-law Amend ment Act, principally (though not exclusively) on ac— count of the high salaries of the officers, and the opera tion of the bastardy clauses: the administration of jus tice by the local magistrates, and especially the amount of the fees paid to their clerks, and the progressive in crease of the county rate. The cost and difficulty of recovering small debts, with some minor points of griev ance and complaint, were pressed on our attention, some of which it will be our duty to notice before we close our report." A formidable catalogue this, it must be confessed,• of local grievances, the grievances themselves being precisely those most calculated to excite the resentment of a people at once poor and simple minded, choleric, and impatient of oppression. There is abundant testimony, in these pages, to show that they have long had to endure some of the most in tolerable vexations of " district board mismanage ment," and parochial and county jobbing. The Commissioners thus report upon some of the more prominent, perhaps more unavoidable, but certainly very disheartening, discouragemements,Funder which the "small farmers" have long been declining : " All persons acquainted with the condition of the country concurred in stating that a succession of wet and unproductive harvests had very much reduced the capital of the farmers. They had been forced, during successive years, to buy the bread consumed in their families; and the money they obtained by the sale of stock, and the other produce of their farms, scarcely en. abled them to make good various payments to which ,hey were liable. Concurrently with these difficulties, the price of sheep, cattle, and butter, had fallen much below the average of preceding years, though, at the same time (as it is said), all rates, tithes, and taxes, had increased, the rent of land still remaining, generally, undiminished. The Welsh farmers are, at all times, a frugal, cautious race, but by the pressure of the circum stances we have described, they were rendered more than usually anxious to release themselves from even the smallest payments." The multiplication of turnpike gates, the employ ment of "professional toll collectors," and the sub stitution of a rigorous exaction of the dues, in place of the lax and somewhat considerate management ander which the tolls had formerly been taken, occa sioned that wide-spread dissatisfaction and disgust, and that determination to tear up the gates, which first exploded in the destruction of the New Whitland Trust Gates " on the confines of the counties of Pem broke and Carmarthen" in the yeai 1839. Mr. BAUGH ALLEN, the magistrate, a very intelligent witness, and whose , evidence appears to go deeply into the real causes of the discontent, thus alludes to this first scene of the remarkable drama which was after wards to be played with more diversified machinery in other parts of South Wales. Some parties from England having intimated that if certain new gates were erected on roads where there was a considerable traffic in culm and coal, they might be induced to farm the tolls at a higher rate than that previously attained ; and the tolls having been let, accordingly, to a Mr. BULLIN, an extensive toll-contractor; four new gates were erected. Thereupon, the country people assembled in the midst of summer, at about six o'clock in the afternoon, and those gates were pulled down amidst all sorts of noise and disturbance and great jollity, and were destroyed without .the inter ference of anybody." I ,do not think (says Mr. W. EvApis, the clerk of this trust) they were a week standing." After enumerating similar destructions of turnpike-gates in other districtS of Wales, the Re port gives us this significant intimation of the shame ful carelessness with which " Turnpike Bill " legisla tion is sometimes managed in Parliament " There are twelve different trusts in the county of "Carmarthen. In each of these trusts the amount of the toll to be taken at each gate is limited by Act of Parlia ment, but there is no limit as to the frequency of the gates. We know no reason why the trustees should not, if they thought fit, in virtue of the large and lavish powers committed to them, establish a gate, and demand a toll, at intervals of 100 yards each throughout the county of Carmarthen. In the creation of each of these trusts, Parliament has paid no apparent regard to the existence of any other trust, and though the l trustees have been somewhat unwilling to establish too frequent tolls with in the limits of their respective districts, they have had no scruple in placing a gate or bar at the confines of their own trust, however near it might be to the gate of an adjoining one." So in Carmarthenshire, the Kidwelly and Three Commotts Trusts, and some others, "interlace each other in a sort of net-work ; and the frequency of payments which has been so violently complained of and resisted, has chiefly arisen from that circum stance." (p. 4.) How much it is to be regretted that that vicinity is not blessed with the neighbouring presence of Royal Establishments. The privilege of Royal 'equipages to pass to arid fro, without liability to toll, would prove to the greedy renters of such "trusts ". as these, a source of perpetual sulkiness and ill humour which we can picture to ourselves but cannot describe. The luxury of pouncing down on the half-starved team, dilapidated cart, slight load, and drawling, reluctant waggoner of a wretched Welsh farmer, in all the conscious authority of a "Local Act," and with the awful table of tolls legibly painted on the side of the toll-house to appeal to-- the impotent despair of being compelled to allow, a dozen times in a day, perhaps, 'a bowling carriage team of four in hand, with. two or three carriages of the suite, equally well horsed, and Royal coachmen, sleek and -smiling as the bouquets in their button holes, to drive through these sacred " bars " in cool defiance of clerks of the peace, surveyors of the roads, and chairman of trusts ; the agonizing desire of TANTALUS for a draught of cold water must be a mere slight feverish excitement compared with the hopeless intensity of a Welsh toll-collector,' to clutch the " road dues" which, if needy small farmers must pay, he finds that exempted Royalty will not. We have no room to enter into other particulars and details connected with the subjects of the various sections in which this Report is arranged, and as to which the Com missioners in general terms recommend the landed proprietors, and other parties interested, to adopt without loss of time the necessary remedial measures, in a spirit of conciliation and good will towards the _ people. Their rapidly increasing separation from the Church of England, in the districts which have been the scenes of greatest disturbance, is a fact em phatically pressed upon her MAJESTY'S attention at the conclusion of the Commissioners' Report. Lest the multiplication of turnpike trusts, however, should be merged in the enumeration of other grievances of a more striking character —as, the in crease of county-rate, and of tithe, and the large diversion of great tithes into lay hands, in the greater portion of South Wales—we subjoin a few instances, the mere enunciation of which must be allowed, we think, to go far to wards supplying a case of justification for those who—violently and illegally, it is true—put down nuisances, but nuisances not' the more tolerable be cause of their being sanctioned by enactments which had been suffered to creep, unmarked, into those furtive statutes, significantly enough denominated " Private Bills" : On the " Three Commotts Trust," extending over 50 miles of road, there were 21 gates or bars ; average, one gate for every 2 miles and 1-Bth. On the Kidwelly Trust, 74 miles of road, 30 gates ; average, one gate fOr every 2 miles and 1-sth. On the Llangadock Trust, 41 miles of road, 13 gates ; average, one gate for every 3 miles and 90 yards. On the Llandovery and Llampeter Trust, 40 miles of road, 13 gates; average, one gate for every 3 miles, wanting 40 yards. We could readily multiply examples of this kind from the volume before us; but surely these are suf ficient to establish the intolerable nature of the nuisance to which we have alluded, as it has affectel the poor and agricultural communities of South Wales. Madrid papers of the 14th have been received, but they furnish no fresh intelligence, or any later accounts from Carthagena, than those published yesterday. The Three per Cents. were done at 32 11-16 for cash, and at 33f at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 23 5-16 at 60 days. The division in the French Chamber of Deputies on the Secret Service Money Bill, which took place on Tuesday, is much more favourable to the Ministry than was anticipated. Towards the close of the debate M. DE LASTEYRIE moved an amendment to reduce the grant to 950,000 f., which was put to the vote - and immediately rejected. The main question was then put that the sum of 1,000,000 f. be voted for the Secret Service, when, on a scrutiny being taken, there were— For the grant Against it Majority for Ministers -56 This is the most decisive vote of the session, be cause the amendment was brought forward by the Opposition as a " vote of want of confidence" and ac cepted in these terms by the Ministry. The result has excited much rejoicing among the friends of the Ca binet. The Opposition journals deplore the event, and evidently regard it as th e last trial of strength for the session. This debate, which lasted two days, possesses considerable interest from the al-. most unanimous feeling displayed by the Chamber against the encroaching and rebellious spirit of the Bishops and clergy. None but the Carlists had a word to say for them, and a very general opinion therefore, prevails that the pilgrimage to London and the attack on the University were concocted by these advocates of bigotry and despotism. M. D unN fortu nately was in a good humour on the occasion, and made an excellent speech against the rebellious ecclesiastics. It was received with shouts of approbation by the Chamber. We rejoice in such a demonstration, be cause it shows that the French people take a rational view of the subject, and are determined to support the Government and the legal institutions of the country against encroachments of the Jesuits. The following is a brief outline of M. Durni's speech He would assert that a factious, nay almost, insurrec tional movement had of late been manifested in the clergy. - The public mind was, he would not say alarmed, but cer tainlydisquieted by the conduct of that body. Thie move THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 1844, ment was particularly manifested by a kind of crusade against the University. If the clergy thought fit to object to anything connected with that establishment, why did they not express their opinion moderately and charitably ? Firmness and genius ought to be ex pected from the mouth of a Bossuet ; charity should be expressed in the language habitual to Fenelon ; and plain good sense should always be seen whenever a priest de livered his opinion.—(Approbation.) It was the unexampled violence of the priesthood that he condemned, and it was on it that he called the judgment of the public. The Archbishop of Lyons, occupying one of the first sees of France, and calling himself Primate, had adopted in this contest a measure known to them all; he had thought fit to adopt the extraordinary means formerly employed as a threat against men and even kings, but never • against chil dren.—(Hear hear.) What could be more improper than the collective complaint of the Bishops ? The right of petition might be exercised collectively, but never by public functionaries, and there were cases where the elevation of a man's position greatly aggravated the dan ger which was likely to accrue from his acts, and where any improper conduct was doubly reprehensible. He would add, that the publication of the Bishop's protest was not only con trary to the Concordat of year X., but even to the canons of the Church. Another very serious proof of the spirit which actuated the clergy might be seen in the conduct of the Bishop of Chalons towards the Abbe Combalot. That eccle siastic had been condemned for a libellous publication, and the Bishop, already himself under the weight of a censure from the higher authorities, thought fit to write him a letter, condoling with him on his condemnation, and praising M. Combalot's conduct in giving a noble example of resist • ance to the conduct of the • University —the declared enemy of the principles of the Church ! All that was wanting to make this farce complete, was to find M. Combalot writing back to the Bishop to congratulate him on, the con demnation pronounced against him by the Council of State. He (M. Dupin) appealed to the country-, and demanded if such conduct was to be tolerated. He declared that the Bishop.had committed a most grave offence, and he main tained that he ought to be punished for it most severely.— (Hear.) He would ask the Chamber whether it approved of such acts on the part of the Bishops—whether there was any one in France who could believe that the servants of a con stitutional Government could be in a humour to allow them selves thus to be braved in the name of a religion which prescribed obedience to the constituted authorities ?—(Ap probation.) The clergy must well know that they had no longer a peculiar privilege, and that if priests committed offences they might, like other citizens, be prosecuted before the ordinary tribunals of the country. When, however, no crime had been committed, where there were only repre hensible acts to take notice of, it was for the functionary invested with the surveillance of the clergy to take cogni zance of it. Discipline was necessary in all hierarchies. What would be said of a military body, if they -were to concert together to praise a soldier who had just been censured for some fault in an order of the day—(Move inent)—or of an advocate who should congratulate a brother barrister for having incurred the censure of the council of their order? The , law furnished arms for the repression of faults, and, were they even without arms, were there not legislators to furnish them ? He did not reproach the Govern ment for the conduct they had hitherto pursued, for they had not acted with impatience but, for the time to come, let them pay the utmost attention, for, with a body such as the clergy, the government must never be in the wrong. Let the clergy be made aware that they lived under a constitu tional Government—under one of those Governments who would not tolerate the practice of confessors. The clergy had been always protected, and more so since 1830 than under the Restoration and the Empire. Let. them obtain and pre serve the respect and consideration to which they were enti tled, but he, at the same time, conjured the Government to be inexorable towards their eccentricities.—(Acclamations.)"

FOREIGN. • On Monday evening the King of the French received at dinner the Apostolic Nuncio, the Austrian Ambassador, the Minister of Foreign - Affairs, the Marquises de Dalmatie, de Gabriac, and de Roure, Count Rodolphe d'Appony, Generals Roussel, d'Hurbal,Courtot, and M. Persil.! The Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and the Bishops of Autun, Langres, St. Claude, Grenoble, and Dijon, have ad dressed a letter to the Minister of Justice and Public Wor ship, protesting against the Education - Bill 'presented to the Chamber of Peers, and complaining of the power given to the University in public education. The Academie Royale des Sciences have elected the Prince of Canino (Charles Buonaparte) a corresponding member in the section of zoology, and Sir B. Brodie, of London, in the section of surgery. Seven more condemned malefactors were exposed on the pillory on' Tuesday, in the Place du Palais de Justice. Among them was Courvoissier, condemned in. October last to hard labour for thirty years. The effigies of twenty others, condemned by default, were also posted on the same pillory. " We can state most positively," says the France, " that the negotiations for the marriage of the Count de Trapani with Isabella of Spain have been completely broken off.' The Municipal Council of Poitiers have just voted a guarantee of 3 per cent. interest on a capital of a million of francs, for the railroad from Orleans to Bordeaux. Should the line be only partly conceded, or in portions, the vote is to . be applied to the line between Tours and Poitiers. . The Memorial of Rouen complains Vat a considerable quantity of false money has been lately issued by the English workmen employed on the railroad to Havre. Two days back a couple of English labourers went into a wine-shop, and tendered a bad five-franc piece for what they had drunk. On being challenged with passing bad money, they took to flight and got clear off. The Universal German- Gazette repeats, in a positive man ner, the report that the negotiations for a marriage between an Austrian. Archduke and a <daughter of the Emperor of Russia have been broken off, in consequence of a difference as to the religion in which the children of the marriage should be educated. We learn from Stuttgart that. the Kirg of Wurtemberg has authorised the construction of railroads from Ludwigsburg to Stuttgart, from• Stuttgart to Cronstadt, and from thence by the right bank of the Necker to Esslingen. A letter from Stockholm, in the Journal de Frankfort, states that a treaty has Veen agreed to between Sweden and Belgium for the i:gciprocal extradition of criminals, The measure was publed on the 21st ult. ' zkvr A7hTD roxacm. In the Court of Bankruptcy assignees were appointed in the matter of Joseph Barwick, who had been an extensive omnibus proprietor, plying between Dulwich' and the• City of London. On his examination the bankrupt stated :that he had commenced business a few years back without any capital, and that his debts, contracted very shortly before his bankruptcy, were now about 3,0001. He had kept ne cash book. Between the months of December and February last he had about three-and-twenty horses, half-a-dozen omni buses, and other carriages, which were all sold under an exe cution, -put in by a person named Brown, of Crown street, Finsbury, tor advances made by him at dif ferent times, to the amount of 4741. 13s. 6d. The bankrupt had bought thirteen or fourteen horses of different persons, Which he never paid for, and also - 271 quarters of oats, between December and February last, for which he had not paid, but out of the part produce of which he paid a Mr. Turner 301. He sold the oats at a small profit, and applied the produce to his business. Sir C. F. Williams expressed disapprobation of such 'conduct, and adjourned the hearing for further investigation into the state of his affairs. William Brown, a well-dressed man, who formerly kept a beer• shop in Nelson-street, Hackney-road, was brought be • fore Mr. Bingham, at Worship-street, for final examination, charged with having been concerned in the commission of several daring burglaries that have been committed in the counties of Essex and Cambridgeshire. • He was fully com mitted on four distinct charges. - At the Surrey Sessions, William Bennett, a man of respect able appearance, against whom there were four indictments, was charged with stealing, on the the 13th of February last, a quantity of groceries, the property of 'William Smith, grocer, of the Old Kent-road. The prisoner was convicted on two indictments and sentenced to twelve months' im prisonment with hard labour. At Bow-street, a young man named John Howe, who is employed as a money-taker at Drury-lane Theatre, was . brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with having embezzled various sums of money belonging to Mr. A. Bunn, lessee of that building, and his employer. The charge was fully proved, and the prisoner was committed for trial. At the Lewis Assizes an action was brought by M. Lereux, a banker at Calne, to recover a sum of sixty-five thousand francs and interest from the defendant, F. H. Berkeley, Esq., M.P. for Bristol. 'Witnesses were called to prove the facts, and one, Coup, in answer to a question from Mr. Baron Alderson,. said, that if parties chose to make an agreenient to pay nine per cent. that the law of France did not consider such a transaction illegal. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 6,640/., that being the amount. of the principal sum, arid the interest for 18 years, at nine per dent. ce•unt—rAsulONAßLE.

MISCELLANEOUS. The Cork Examiner states that the dinner to Mr. O'Con nell on Easter Monday will be preceded by a public entry. All the traversers in the late trials will be invited to dinner. The arrangements are proceeding with great energy. The late Dowager Countess of Clarendon, it is said, left great property, which was entirely at her own disposal. She has bequeathed to the Earl of Clarendon an estate in Wales ; but all the rest (including her noble mansion in North Audley street, plate, jewels, &c.) is left to her twin-sister the Countess of Mornington ; after whose demise and that of Lord Morn ington, it will go to their daughters—viz., the Countess of - Westmoreland, the Lady Fitzroy Somerset, and the Lady Mary Bagot. The Poor-law Commissioners have issued a circular to the authorities of the various parishes, calling upon them to give increased publicity to the inhabitants to comply with the Vaccination Act of 4th and sth Victoria, c. 29, for the pre vention of the spreading of small-pox. Medical practitioners are appointed by that Act in districts throughout each parish, for the purpose of performing vaccination gratis. On Thursday a quarterly general court of the members of the Caledonian Asylum was held at the Freemasons' Tavern. Lord James Stewart presided. The usual business having been gone through, it was stated that the fund was accumu lating for the erection of an additional wing to the above building, intended for the accommodation of 100 girls, to whom the benefits' of the Instit u ti o n h a ve no t as yet been extended. There are at present 95 boys educated and main tained by the charity. The Rev. Professor Buckland, at a public meeting held in Oxfordlast week, said that in the parish of St. Margaret,Lei cester, containing 22,000 inhabitants, it appeared that one portion of it was effectually drained, some parts but partially so, and others not at all. In the latter the average duration of life is thirteen years and a half, while in the same parish, where the drainage is only partial, the average was twenty two years and a half, thereby showing the frightful effects of &bad atmosphere. POLICE INTELLIGENCE BOW-STREET.7--(THIS DAY.) Five able-bodied paupers were brought up from St. Giles's Workhouse, charged by the governor, Mr. Buxey, with re fusing to do the work allotted to them. The case was fully proved against them. . The prisoners said they were not well fed, and they were compelled to do more work than their strength would admit of. Mr. Buxey denied this, and said the work had always been the same. With respect to the diet, he would be glad if the Magistrate would take the trouble to examine the diet table of the workhouse. Mr. HALL said he had done so, and he was quite sure that no ground of complaint could be found with respect to it. The prisoners were then discharged with a caution. • UNION HALL.--(THIS DAY.) Emma Shaw, a respectable-looking young female, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with makin'g a very determined attempt upon her life. . • It appeared that on the preceding night the defendant was found leaning against some railings in the Kent-road, when Mr. Appleton, a medical student, seeing she was very ill, had her conveyed to the shop of a chemist,:where it was discovered she had taken a large dose of laudanum. Medicine having been administered, she recovered, and then described that she was a servant out of place, having quarrelled with her mis. tress, and that being reduced, bad formed the resolution of destroying herself. When before the Magistrate she said that the reason she lost her situation was in consequence of scalding her leg. She also said that she went to the theatre one night, that her mistress found fault with her, and that this led to her discharge.. After coasiderable difficulty the unfortunate girl at length admitted to the Magistrate that she had been seduced by a young man, and had contracted a disease which rendered her truly miserable. Mr. CbtriNGßAm said that he should send the defendant to the hospital, and in the meantime inquiries should be in stituted into her case. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY-) ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Sarah O'Meara, a middle-aged Irish woman, of very decent appearance, was committed to take her trial at the Central Criminal Court, on a charge ( stealing a _valuable diamond and embossed gold ring and a silver teaspoon, the property of Mr. Stephen Hagen, of No. 16, Woodstock-street, - New Bond-street, ladies' stay and corset manufacturer, in whose service she had lived as cook for several months - past. On Friday last, the property in question was missed from an upper apartment of the house, but not the slightest suspicion . was attached to the prisoner. It, however, appears she was . the thief, and had secreted - the property in the copper-hole, where as she had not the opportunity of taking it out of the house, it remained' until a day or two since, when during her absence the chimneys and flues of the lower part of the houJc and amongst the soot, &c., th e sto l en articles were taken away IT the sweep, as he alleges, without his knowledge. The prisoner afterwards applied to him, stating that the ring and spoon which belonged to her had been taken from the copper-hole, and offered, if he would sell them, to give him half the amount they fetched. He had found theni amongst the soot, but fearing that he should get into trouble he gave information at the police-station in Vine- street, which led to the prisoner's apprehension. The prisoner confessed her guilt, but implored very ear nestly forgiveness. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) ROYAL LEAMINGTON STEEPLE-CHASE—Thunsnar.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—Last night, on the ocaasion of Mr. Allen's benefit, an English translation of Rossini's opera of Otello, founded upon Shakspeare's play, reduced and altered to the limits and demands of the musical drama, was produced for the first time. If it was hazardous in England to reproduce a play of Shakspeare, translated into Italian and transmuted into opera, the hazard was doubly greater when the Italian was translated into English. The experinient, however, has proved successful, and Otello, as well as Othello, will take its place on the English stage. Mr. Allen, whose voice is pleasing, though net powerful, did more for the part of Otello than we expected of him, and frequently drew down upon his exertions very hearty and well-merited applause. Madame Garcia played the part of Desdemona, Weiss of Elmiro (the Brabantio of Shakspeare), and Burdini of lago ; and all three acquitted themselves in a manner which in no small degree contributed to the enthusiastic success of the piece.
