than by anYthin tbat the Government can do. Ihave a arm conviction tha t i f peace and tranquillity were sectored in Ireland, no part of the British empire would make such rapid progress in prosperity.—(Loud cheers.) There are facilities and opportunities for improvement in that re try, which, I believe, would cause it to advance more eigclly in prosperity than any other portion of the empire.— e.) I conclude by expressing 'an earnest hope that this eititation, and all the evil consequences that follow from it, will be permitted to subside.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") fehotdii rejoice, in whatever capacity I was, considering would be the happiest day of my life hen I could See the beloved Sovereign of the realm fulfilling the fondest wish of a heart—(Cheers)—full of affection towards all her people, but mingling affection with sympathy and tenderness towards Ireland—(Loud cheers)—and should hail with joy the dawn of that auspicious day when she could alight, like 110 m• beneficent spirit, on the shores of Ireland, and lay the ibundations of the temple of peace—(Cheers)—when she could, in accents which, proceeding from the heart, would speak to the heart rather than to the ear, call en her Irish subjects of all Slum and denominations—Protestant and Roman Catholic, ilaxon and Celt —to forgot the differences of creed and of race, and hallow that temple of peace of which she had laid the handatieu—to hallow it with sacrifices holier than those with 'Mich the temples of old were hallowed—by the sacrifice of those evil passions that dishonour our common faith, and pre vent the union of heart and hand in defence of our common seuntry. (Tho Right Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst the loud and long-continued cheering of the Ministerial benches. ) Sir Valentine Blake, Lord John Russell, and Mr. Roche, stood up together, for the purpose of addressing the House, but the Noble Lord add the Hon. Member for Cork gave way to Sir VALENTINE BLAKE, who attempted to address the Douse several times, but at each attempt was met with such shouts as " Divide, divide," " Spoke, spoke," " Lord John Russell," that the Hon. Gentleman was obliged to sit down, after having moved the adjournment of the debate, amidst con siderable laughter, and cries of " Oh, oh." Mr. ROCHE said he rose for the purpose of seconding the motion of the Honourable Baronet who had just sat down, and, under present circumstances, he would not attempt anything so unreasonable, but the House would recol lect that the party with which he and the Hon. Baronet were connected, had been accused by the Right Hon. Baronet of a crime the grossest that human nature could be guilty of, namely, that of willingly deluding their countrymen by a wilful perversidn of history.—(Laughter, and cries of "Oh, oh.") Considering the position which he held with regard to Ireland, he did not think it would be very unreasonable to trespass open the attention of the House for a few minutes. —( Cheers. ) The Right Hon. Baronet had represented his Learned Col knee as saying that the Parliament which existed before 1800 was • desirable one, and he charged them with wishing to restore a corrupt Legislature. What his Hon. and Learned Friend had said was, that in the 18 yearaprevious to 1800 no country had made such strides in advancement as Ireland.—( Hear, hear.) Why did not the Right Hon. Baronet controvert his Hon. Friend's statements with regard to the subsequent acts of the Legislature towards Ireland? He thought that such a course would have beets more appropriate. He regi etted that the Right Hon. Baronet did not give them more hopes for Ireland—that instead of dinging unworthy appellations at the agitators, he did not grapple with the grievances which made them agitators.— ( Hear, hear.) He might depend upon it, that if he did not grapple with them, they would grapple with him. .—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) They were agitators, he would never deny it ; and he was sorry to say that they were likely to continue agitators, for there appeared to be no disposition on the part of the powerful majority in that House to take from them their spell.—( Hear, hear. ) The motion for the adjournment was then withdrawn. Lord J. RUSSELL, in rising to reply, said that in the ex hausted state of the House he would not address them at any great length, but there were some points which had beea raised in the debate, to which he could not avoid adverting. The Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary of State; for the Rome Department, had taunted him with the course which be bad taken on that occasion. Now, he had stated last year, his opinion with respect to repeal, and the repeal agitation, but be did think the period when Mr. O'Connell was convieted in a Court of Law was not the proper period for saying any thing disparaging of that Hon. and Learned Gentleman. He had stated when the country was to a large extent confided to his care the preservation of the peace was essentially aided by the course which Mr. O'Connell took with regard to tbe Chartists and the trades' associations.—(Hear, hear.) He should never regret that he had subjected himself to that imputation, for if any thing could be said in favour of the course which Mr. O'Connell had pursued for the preservation of the peace of the country, he thought that the present was the moment for saying it.—(Loud cheers.) The Right Hon. Gehtleutras had said that he (Lord John Russell) must wish to see his motion defeated, because if he had not, said the Right Hon. Gentleman, he would have proposed resolutions at once for the purpose of bringing under the consideration of the House measures to remedy the grievances of Ireland. He could not, however, but recollect that such a motion had been proposed in the course of last ses sion by an Irish representative, had been treated as a vote of censure on the Government, and rejected. He was, therefore, perfectly justified in bringing.forward the present motion. The Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department in speaking of his (Lord J. Russell's) observations with regard to Lord Lyndhurst had left out the purpose for which those observations had been made. The traversers in Ireland had been indicted for attempting to excite feelings of ill-will in the minds of the people of Ireland against the people of Eng land, and his object was to show that Lord Lyndhurst, the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, and Dlr. Bradshaw, (perhaps he might as well have left his name out), had pre viously used expressions tending to irritate the people of Eng land against the people of Ireland.—(Cheers. ) Lord STANLEY —What words did I make use of ? Lord J. RUSSELL—The words used by the Noble Lord were " minions of Popery." Lord STANLEY—Those were not my words. They were cited:by me "as used by the Hon. Member for St. Alban's, on the other side, and were never applied to Catholics at all— (Ministerial cheering)—but to the Noble Lord and the mem bers of the Government who acted with him.—(Cheers and counter cheers.) The denial that the words were ever used by me, was made last session ; and if the Noble Lord will re fer to the debates, he will see that they were never used by me except as a quotation from the Hon. Gentleman opposite, and were never applied to Roman Catholics at all. Lord JOHN RUSSELL was not aware that the Noble Lord had made this explanation last session. He had stated that the words had been used by the Hon. Member fur Wood stook, but the adoption of those words by the Noble Lord-- Lord STANLEY—I never adopted the words.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought it extremely strange, if the words had never been used that they should have been quoted in the sense they had been by the Hon. Member for Sheffield. But with respect to Lord Lyndhurst, he had said nothing against that Noble Lord's character no one amid have a higher opinion of that Noble Lord'S talents than he had; but he contended that it was his hostility to 1 Ireland which had procured him his 'present office. He had spoken of his carelessness the performance of his judicial duties. Perhaps the,. was an ill-considered expression ; but he considered knatihe Noble Lord was more indebted for his high station to his political talents than to his judgments in the Court of Equity ; and with regard to the charge of judicial sareleasness, none of those who had spoken on the other side had taken the pains to contradict that, nor had any one thought p roper in defend the cha rge o f th e Chi e f J ustice. The Attoirney-Ge teral for Ireland, who had passed a high panegyric upon that minent persists would, he thought, h ave p raise d hi m f or t h e -gay of that Calmness and sobriety judgeof demeanour which be- a in the exercise of hisj udicial functions ; but th e ionourable Attorney-General had completely passed -cm without observation. The Right Hon. Gentle snimencement of his speech, had stated that he k with the acrimony which ho (Lord J. Rus hut with great temper and forbearance. .Gentleman scent on to say, after some s conde i ct had been, that he would t. hand than have retained office in ti they (the late Administration) to Lord Plunket, he (Lord 'oinking that the Right -ed of some of that T ord John Russell).

Gentlemen's expressions savou, acrimony which he had attributed to him (e Some o the circumstances con nected with ti.- Lord Plunket he gould now mention. It had loe. Led Melbourne, that Lord Plunket at his then adv Cam ae was desirous of relinquishing his post. Lord wished to know; as the dissolution was about to take plb if he should go and stand as a candidate at the ela ° 7 A tion for Edinburgh. Lord Melbourne, on Lore Plunket's desire to retire being communicated to him, directed that the Attorney-General should be made Lord Chancellor of Ireland. A few days after that had been communicated to Lord Campbell, it was ascertained that Lord Plunket was not desirous to retire. Subsequently it was ascertained that Lord Plunket would retire, and then Lord Campbell went to Ireland. No disrespect was ever intended to Lord Plunket. He (Lord John Russell) had always considered that Lord Plunket was the most eloquent man he had ever heard in Parliament. But with re gard to Ireland the measures that would sustain autho rity which they proposed were alwa y s supported by gentlemen opposite ; while those measures which would conciliate the people of that country, and tend to restore tranquil lity, were invariably obstructed by them. The Right lion. Gentleman had alluded to the Coercion Bill. Did he disapprove of that measure? If he did, he could much better get an account of the details of it from the Noble Lord (Lord Stanley) near him, as he was then Siaretary for Ireland, than from any ether person. The great reason which he (Lord J. Russell) had for the in troduction of this 13111 was, for the protection of property and the prevention of outrage and murder in the rural districts, and for no abstract motive, and on these grounds he gave full eon sent to it.—( Hear, hear.) The Right Honourable Gentleman had spoken of his Landlord and Tenant Commission in Ireland. He (Lord John Russell) looked upon that Commission with some doubt. The Right Hon. Gentleman must admit that it wee calculated to disturb the public mind, by raising indefinite espectations in Ireland on the subject of tenantcy. He (Lord John Russell) could not forget that when Mr. Drum mond used the expression that property had its duties as well as its rights, it drew down a strong leeture from the Right Honourable Baronet opposite; and now he (Lord J. Russell) bad heard with some surprise the Right Hon. Baronet declare that one of the objects of the Commission would be to bring to light the abuses of this system. The Right Hon. Baronet had spoken of the great question of the Church, but he could not support the Right „Moo. Baronet's views on that subject. It had been said that the Church was meant for the instruction of the people, but in one case of which he read to-day, there was only one Protestant in the parish, and how eould that clergyman be called the inst r u c t or of the people when he held not the slightest communion with thousands of Catholics in his parish ? He thought there could be no doubt about the feasibility of paying the Catholic c lergy by the State, when in the year 1825, Dr. Doy le consented to the adoption of such a measure. The Ri ght Honourable Gentleman had said that he (Lord John Rus sell) had been very careful not to put his mo ti on in sn4i a manner as should commit him to any particular course if he were again to come into office. Now, considering that he (Lord J. Russ e ll ) had proposed the extension of the franchise in Ireland, both Parliamentary and municipal, an increased grant to Maynooth, and a perfect equality in civil rights with England, he did not think that, during the ten years when the Right Honourable Gentleman was out of office, he had proposed any ;Founts so distinct and s o oom p rehensive.—( Cheers. ) The ble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies cautioned him to weigh well the responsibity of bringing forward this motion. He (Lord John Russell) thought there was much less responsi bility in making the motion than in leaving the state of Ireland undiscussed. If he had not brought forward this motion the repeal party would be strengthened. It would be said, that no matter how Ireland was governed, it would give no concern to the English Parliament—that the House was very busy about the Horse-racing Bill, but that it was nothing to them what was done in Ireland.—( Cheers. ) The whole course of the debate appeared, on one side and the other, to induce , the people to think that their case would be considered in the nglish House of Commons.—( Hear, hear.) The ma nner in which he bad been supported, and in which the debate had been conducted, would - show the Irish people that to that House their petitions should be addressed, and their grievances should be considered. He thought that his proposition would tend to unite them more and more with the English nation. He greatly regretted that recriminations should be introduced into the debate and he was sorry that the Noble Lord had thought proper to read the terms of the Catholic oath.—(Cheers.) Who could mistake the meaning of the Noble Lord?—(Cheers. ) What would the Noble Lord say if be were a witness in a court of justice, and as acrimonious lawyer were to remind him em phatically that he was sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth ? Would he not think that it was intended to insinuate that he required the caution ? _(Cheers.) What else could be the feeling of the Roman Catholics—( Hear, hear)—and must it not be an encouragement to others who were less informed than the Noble Lord, and who were too apt to assert that the Catholics ought not to be in Parliament, because they did not regard an oath ? ( Hear, hear.) He was far from wishing to hurt the feelings of the Noble Lord, or injure him in the estimation of the public. On the contrary, ho held the Noble Lord in the highest esteem, and when he was invited by Lord Melbourne to take the lead of their party in that House, when his Noble Friend succeeded, he expressed his wish that the Noble Lord would return to the party with whom he had acted in early life, when he (Lord J. Russell) would be perfectly willing to follow him as leader— ( Cries of " Hear, hear")—but he thought that with the Noble Lord's talent and influence ho ought to be careful how he increased the unfriendly feelings between the different classes of the people. It was necessary that they should give a frank acid frill confidence to the Roman Catholics so as to end these melancholy distinctions.—(Cheers, and cries of " Di vide, divide.") Strangers were ordered to withdraw. The House then divided, when there appeared— Against the motion 324 For the motion ... Majority against the motion .• The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the Ilouse adjourned at Four o'Clock. Am. for the mild and conciliatory manner in which he had expressed himself, and then proceeded to discuss the question brought forward by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The Irish State trials formed one of the main topics of his speech, and, in that respect he only followed the example of his pre decessors. The result of these trials, he said, had no moral effect. One opinion, however, he expressed, in which every Englishman, Scotsman, and most Irishmen will agree—he could not conceive a greater mischief that could happen to Ireland than repeal, except the continuance of a military govern ment. This is an honourable admission from one who took such a strong interest in the Canadian in surrection. Mr. O'CONNELL and Sir R. PEEL then followed, and Lord J. RUSSELL replied. The House, at Four o'Clock, divided, when the numbers were— For the motion ... 92.5 Against it Majority against the motion -99 The debate on the Irish question, after a nine nights' discussion, was brought to a close last night. It has been, on the whole, an interesting and ani mated, and—as the result, we trust, will show—a useful, debate. As regards ability, the preponderance has been decidedly on th© side of the Opposition, for ithout meaning to deny the skill and ingenuity dis played in the speeches of Lord STANLEY, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and the Attorney-General for Ireland, we must say that no Ministerial display of eloquence has at all equalled, or even come near, those made by Me,srs.

Richard Bentley, New Burlington-strut, (Publisher hi Ordinary to her Majesty). Of Mr. O'CONNELL ' S speech last night it may be stated with pert', ct truth, that, without affecting any lofty or impassioned rhetorical flights, it was just the sort of speech suited to the occasion—manly, calm, argumentative, and characterised by a tone almost amounting to the conciliatory. The lion. and Learned Gentleman frankly and fairly stated his opinions of some of the proposed remedial measures of Govern ment, and alluding, in particular, to the franchise, MR. LAING'S NEW WORK ON THE SEA-KINGS. Published this day, 3 vols Svo., 365. cloth, rpm] CH RONICLE of the KINGS of NOR WAY, from the Earliest Period of the History of the Northern Sea-Kings to the Middle of the Twelfth Century, commonly called the Heimskringla. Translated from the Icelandic of SNORRO STURLESON, with Notes, and a Preliminary Discourse, by SAMUEL LAING, Author of " A Residence in Norway," " ATour in Sweden," " Notes of a Traveller," &c. London : Longman, thrown, Green, and Longmans. said—" You must make regulations for insisting on the residence of freemen ; they should reside for three months before, and three months after, the registry, in the borough. If you insist on the residence of freemen, you will - have made a very useful change. The county franchise, too, is, I am told, to be altered. Yon should give us the beneficial interest franchise. The solvent - test franchise would annihilate the county constituency of Ireland. We are a poor country, and if you do anything, you shpuld do it generously, and do it at once. You should give us a franchise equally potential with that in England, so as to have a con stituency of the Irish counties equal in propor tion to the population of that of the Eng lish counties. If you legislate for us justly, I shall hail your measure with satisfaction; but we must have no restriction of the franchise. We will meet you cordially, if you will meet us cordially." On the landlord-and-tenant question, Mr. O'CONNELL remarked that if the law were restored to the state in which it was before the union, the landlord would have no right to complain ; and with respect to absenteeism, he added—"it ought to be punished as a crime. You ought to impose an absentee-tax. Lay a heavy impost on the absentee landlord in England, so as to drive him back to the interests of his wretched serfs." The Hon. and Learned Member closed his speech by some pertinent and forcible com ments on the manifest injustice of maintaining the present enormous Protestant Establishment in Ire land. Sir R. PEEL, who rose immediately after Mr. O'CONNELL, devoted a great portion of his speech to an attack on Lord JOHN RUSSELL, for having spoken in disparaging terms of the Chancellor, and to an explanation of the conduct of Government, as re garded their interference with the repeal monster meetings. His explanation on this point was scarcely necessary, for Sir JAMES GRAHAM had already travelled over the same ground, and the Premier did little more than echo his statements. On the subject of the Landlord and Tenant Commission, he stated. that it was intended to make, not a partial and super ficial, but an honest, searching inquiry, into the matter ; and with respect to the franchise, he remarked, " I think it ought to be sub stantially equal with that of Great Britain. I do not say that there should be an identity of franchise between the two countries, be cause that is impossible:; but this much I will say, that, with regard to the Irish franchise, I think it ought to be substantially equal with that of Great Britain." With reference to the Protestant Church— the monster-grievance of Ireland—Sir ROBERT PEEL spoke out with far more energy and decision than he is usually in the habit of exhibiting. " I come to the conclusion," he said, " founding my self upon compacts, on authority, and on the convictions of my own mind, that the best course—and the course which I for one, as far as my humble powers can effect it—the Govern ment can pursue, is, to maintain in its integrity the Protestant Church Establishment." This declaration is decided an straightforward enough—there is no fault to be found with it on that score—but unfor tunately it is decided and straightforward on the wrong side. So long as the Protestant Establishment continues on its present footing, there can be no sure guarantee for Irish tranquillity. The race of agitators is only to be extinguished by the extinction of, or at any rate by a searching, comprehensive reform in, the existing Protestant Church in the sister country. We close our comments on the debate by remarking that the remedial measures proposed by Government for the pacification of Ireland, are passable enough in their way, but are by no means characterised by sufficient comprehensiveness and liberality to meet the emergency of the case. Much more must be done ere there can be the slightest hope that the Repeal agitation will die away into insignificance. Meantime thus much good has been affected by the debate—it has shown Ireland that she has a far more numerous body of staunch friends in the House of Commons than she ever supposed she possessed ; and we trust, therefore, that in future we shall hear less about " the vile, brutal, arbitrary Saxons !" Paris papers of Thursday have been received. On that day the discussion on M. DE REMUSAT'S motion was resumed and brought to a conclusion. The motion was rejected by a majority of 30. The papers contain no news of interest to the English reader. The French funds were very firm, and the market closed as follows :—Three per Cents., for cash, 82 55 ; for Account, 82 60 ; Five per Cents., for cash, 125 85 ; for Account, 125 85 ; Bank of France Shares, 3,270; Neapolitan, 103 63 ; Spanish, • Paris and Rouen Railroad, 832 50 ; Paris and 845. 3St i Ori%,?' from Madrid are to the 16th, and, , rnment papers, official dis -,cing a victory gained 4 - In one The accountb . according to the Gto,.. patches had been received annot,..., by the QUEEN'S troops over the insurgent.. of these General RONCALI states that he had caused seven officers who had fallen into the handslof Gene ral PARDO to be shot.

The Government also received accounts that Co lonel PURZOA had taken two feluccas from the insur gents between Carthagena and Torrevieja. 1 A circular has been addressed to the Foreign Am bassadors, to the Grandees of Spain, and to the Clergy, announcing to them that her MAJESTY had decided on going as far as Aranjuez to meet her mother, Queen CHRISTINA, and inviting them to accompany her. On the 16th, the Three per Cents. were quoted at 29i at 60 days, and the Fives, without Coupons, 20 cash, and 20i at 60 days.

DISCOVERY OF THE HALVES OF NOTES TO THE AMOUNT or 1451. —Yesterday Mary Mitchell, a poor woman living at No. 46, Hereford-street, Ltsson-grove, stated to Mr. Long, at the Marylebone police•ofice, that on Wednesday evening last, as she was walking along Drummond.street, near the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway, she picked up from the pavement a nap parcel sealed, and on its being opened it was found to contain the halves of notes to the amount of 1451. She was anxious that they might be restored to their rightful owner, and with that view she had made the matter known to the magis trate. The parcel now remains at the Court, and it is hoped that the finder will be rewarded for her honesty. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 24, MC MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GARDEN.

The speech of this Prelate was what might have been expected. was all Church, and full of hostility to Dissenters. He wished, as a matter of course, to raise the au thority of the Church above all other authorities, and told the Government, that if they refused a Com mittee of Inquiry the glory of the Ministry would be eclipsed. The Committee was refused, for the motion was negatived without a division. We refer our readers to the report to show what priests can do. The House adjourned at Half-past Seven. In the Commons, Mr. C. RUSSELL moved the second reading of the Newbury and Great Western Railway Bill. Sir Wm. HEATHCOTE opposed the motion, un less he had a clear understanding from Mr. RUSSELL that no opposition would be made to another com peting line, that by the South Western Company from Basingstoke to Newbury. A brief discussion took place. Mr. GLADSTONE thought the second reading of the Bill should be deferred for a fortnight, and Mr. C. RUSSELL had no objection. The second reading was accordingly postponed for a fortnight. Capt. PECHELL gave notice that on Thursday next he should make a motion relative to defaulters in the payment of assessed taxes. On the motion of Sir J. GRAHAM, after some ex planation with regard to the Gilbert Unions, the Poor-law Amendment Bill was read a second time, with an understanding that the discussion on the Bill was to take place on going into Committee. In answer to a question from Mr. WALLACE, Sir G. CLERK said that the Government had given di rections, in reference to the free-postage paper, to have a certain number of half-sheets prepared, as an experiment, which would be ready in a few days for delivery. The papers would be sold at 2s. 3d. a quire, and 4d. each. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL resumed the debate on the state of Ireland. The greater part o f his s peech referred to the' mode of conducting the State trials in Ireland, and to the course which he had pursued under similar circumstances in England, and was distinguished by great moderation and good feeling towards his opponents. Mr.Rozsucit complimented the ATTORDIZINCIENE- nuirazitronn. For each kiwi of Meat, we had a steady demand, at fully last week's prices ; but, otherwise, the trade ruled heavy, at barely late rates.

Scarcely any effect was produced upon the Funds by the decision, and hopes are now entertained that tie real business of the country will be actively proceeded proceeded with. The transactions in the produce markets this week have been to a moderate'extent, Coffee being the article in which there has been most speculation.

LONDON INSTITUTION.—The soirees at this institu tion have always been in great favour with the proprietors and their friends, and have never failed of being very well attended. The managers have this season been at great pains to increase their interest, and with good success. A spirit and life seems to be now pervading these reunions, which is very often wanting at such meetings, and without which a flat insipidity invariably steals over the scene. As heretofore, there is a promenade in the library, where tea and coffee are provided from seven to eight o'clock. The tables are furnished-with objects of interest in art and science, and the walls with paintings, &c. At eight o'clock there is a lecture in the theatre of the institution, after which the company return to the library. On Wednesday last, the 'econd soirée of the season was held. The tables were well 'shed with specimens. Among the pictures were two by Edwin Lanseer, exhibited by Jacob Bell, which originalb .• 'derable interest.

They very clearly that there are two characters of chemical action, one In which the acting body acts on account of the changes it un dergoes, the other in which it acts by its mere presence, without undergoing any change. We entirely approve of the subject of this lecture. It was very interesting to the listeners generally, and it was very instructive, inasmuch as it presented them with exceedingly . clear and sound ideas of phenomena which are daily occurring around them, but of which the large mass of us are apt to be ignorant, unless re minded by some such lecture as this. SUICIDE AT BLACKISIARS-DRIDGE.—About half past two o'clock this morning a respectably-dressed woman, about 25 years of age, was observed b 7 the policemen on duty to be lingering about the bridge as if waiting for some one. She was seen at the abeve time by City police-constable 329, who having passed her about 20 yards, saw her deliberately mount the parapet of the bridge near the centre, on the east side, and plunge into the river. He gave an alarm, but in consequence of the boats being secured, considerable delay took place, and before he could reach her she had sunk and was carried away by the stream. DUBLIN, FEB. 22.—About seven o'clock on Sunday evening, an incendiary lire was committed at Tynte-park, near DUnlavin, the residence of Tynte Pratt, Esq. The haggard of that gentleman was set on fire, and 160 barrels of oats, and a mare and foal were destroyed. The premises and a quantity of hay were saved only by the exertions of the country people, who flocked in from all quarters, and remained up all night in preventing the ex r tension of the fire. frls **posed that the outrage was the result of pifrato SUMMARY OF NEWS AND publtr eptuton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. We have accounts from Madrid to the 16th, and from Paris to the 22d, a brief outline of which will be found under the proper heads. A Lyons journal of the 20th announces the arrival of Queen Christina in that city in the evening of the 19th, by the Hirondelle steamer. She was received by the Prefeet and other authorities. A letter from Beyrout, dated 17th of January, states that a general insurrection is on the point of bursting forth in the Lebanon. The roads are insecure, and the persons employed in tillage are compelled to bear with them fire-arms for their protection, whilst trade is utterly extinguished. The unhappy Maronites of Kasseronan are suffering, it is affirmed, unheard of vexations. We learn from Stuttgard that the revenue of the kingdom of Wirtemberg, from Ist July, 1842, to 31st June, 1843, ex ceeded by nearly two millions of florins the expenditure dur ing the same period. This favourable result is ascribed chiefly to the admirable administration of the finance introduced under the Government of the present King of Wirtemberg, by which his Majesty has completely fulfilled the promise which lie made on his accession to the throne in these words —" My people shall know for what they pay taxes." Law AND POLION. In the case of urp in v. HeMa heard in the Court of Queen's Bench, which was an action upon a policy of in surance effected upon a vessel called the Theresa, as well as upon her furniture and cargo lost on a voyage from New castle to Rio de Janeiro. The verdict was for the plaintiff. The particulars were fully stated in The Sun on Friday. The evidence was contradictory. Upon one hand, it was stated that the vessel in 1841 was classed A.E., 1. ; that she had undergone a general survey in that year, and that her destruction oil Dungeness was owing exclusively to the vio lence of the storm by which she was assailed. It was de posed, upon the other side, that the manner in which the storm affected the vessel showed that she was not seaworthy, and that she was managed in such a way as to increase the injurious effects of the storm.: The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the whole amount of the claim under the several heads, with interest, amounting altogether to something more than 1,0001. In the Court of Bankruptcy, Sir C. F. Williams gave judg ment in the case of David Hannay, formerly manager and director of the Merylebone Joint-Stock Bank, and decided that the certificate of the bankrupt must be supended for two years from the date of his passing his last examination, which was in the month of February, 1843. The chief grounds on which this decision was based were, that he had not in his _ _ dealing between the bank and himself kept a proper cash account, that he had been extravagant, and had made pre ferences in the settlement of the claims of the creditors who were relatives. In the case of Fry and Chapman's bankruptcy a further dividend was ;declared under the joint estate. The bank rupts carried on business as bankers in St. Mildred's-court, Poultry, and failed at the latter end of 1828. Dividends to the extent of 4s. Hid. in the pound had already been paid, and the amount declared on Friday . was 61., the time for the . ..... ..... _ „ payx . nent of which will be shortly declared through the usual . official channel. Each of the separate estates has paid 20e. in the pound, leaving a surplus for the benefit of the joint cre ditors. The total proofs admitted under this bankruptcy amount to 398,102/. Os. 7d.. Wm. Smart, described as a gentleman of fortime, was in dicted at the Westminster Sessions for assaulting Jeremiah Collins, on the 27tk of Dec. last. On crossing IS; rosveper street on the day stated, the complainant was ridden against by the defendant, and nearly knocked down. Complainant observed that if defendant could not ride witlipore , aare, he was not fit to be entrusted with a horse. De ant then dis mounted, and attacked the prosecutor with his ricling-whip. The defence set up was, that the prosecutor was the first aggressor. The jury thund the prisoner guilty,, and he *at sentenced to one month's imprisonmaat, and to yesy a fine — cff 51. to the Queen. At Union-hall,. Wm. Prior, collector and traveller in the house of Messrs. Payne and Slee, vinegar-makers, in Church street, Horsly-down, was charged with embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employers. From the evi dence of Mr. Slee, one of the partners, it appeared that the prisoner had been about five months in the employ of the firm, at a Salary of 2501. per annum. The prisoner was re manded. At Marylebone police-court Mary Mitchell, a poor woman living at No. 46, Hereford-street, Lisson-grove, stated to Mr. Long, that on Wednesday evening last, as she was walking along Drummond-street, near the terminus of the London and Birmingnam Railway, she picked up from the pavement a paper parcel sealed, and on its being opened it was found to contain the halves of notes to the amount of 1451. ; she was anxious that they might be restored to their rightful owner, and with that view she had made the matter known to the magistrate. The parcel now remains at the Court ; and it is hoped that in the event of the property being iden tified and given up, a reward will be bestowed upon the finder for her honesty. Frederick Kearns and Henry Behuke, foreign seamen, who stood charged on suspicion of causing the death of Thomas Haxell, by drowning him in the Lady-dock, Com mercial-docks, Rotherhithe, on the 14th of May, 1841, were brought up for final examination at the Greenwich police court, and several witnesses were examined at great length. Mr. Jeremy said that there had not been a tittle of legal evi dence adduced against the young men, and he considered it a most malicious and unfounded charge, without even a pre tence. The parties had been most illegally imprisoned ; they were discharged without an imputation against them, but with ample means against the parties who accused them. COURT-PASHIONABLZ. In consequence of the alterations in progress at Bucking ham Palace, the removal of the Court from Windsor Castle to town is not expected to take place earlier than Friday next. According to present arrangements, her Majesty and the Prince Consort will remain in town until the first week in April, and then proceed to Claremont for the Easter recess, until after which period it is understood there will be no levees or drawing-rooms at St. James's. Her Majesty has just been graciously pleased to command that the whole of the wine left after dinner at the Royal table shall be given, under proper; regulations, to the sick poor, whose complaints may,require such aid, residing within the two towns of Windsor and Eton, and within the exten sive district embraced by the Windsor dispensary. The Duke of Rutland, who is staying at Brighton, is im proving in health. Lord and Lady Dalmeny, who have been making a tour in the Italian states, are expected to return home early in April. Lord Dungannon's spacious mansion in Grafton-street has been taken by Sir James Flower, M.P., whose lease of the Duke of St. Albans mansion, in Piccadilly, expires next month. mxsozziaarrzous. The twelfth anniversary festival of the Linen Drapers', Silk Mercers', Lacemens', Haberdashers' ' and Hosiers' Insti tution, was held on Friday, at th e London Tavern, Bishops gate-street. Dinner was served to about 250 persons, the Lord Mayor in the chair. From the Report it appeared, that the amount of subscriptions and contributions received daring the past year was 2,461/., and that the sum paid to persons whose claims upon the institution were admitted, was 2741. The statement of the Society's funds exhibited a balance in its favour of 2,7781. On the same day the annual general meeting of the Go vernors of the Infirmary for Asthma and Consumption, in Artillery-place, Bishopsgate-street, was held at the London T aver n, John Travers, Esq., in the chair. During the past year the applications for relief have increased to such an ex tent, that the Co mmittee h ave been under the necesilty of daily al y g dividends on stocks, &c., does not exceed 4001.

Ellis, Coroner for the Western Division of the county of Sussex, and a respectable jury, on the body of a young woman who shade been choked by a piece of orange.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Inspector Evans, of the L division, gave information of the sudden death of a gentleman in a public-house, on the pre ceding afternoon, under very awful circumstances. The Inspector stated that a gentleman, named Burrows, residing at South Lambeth, met a female in the Borough, between three and four o'clock on the preceding afternoon, and they walked together until they arrived at the Crown public-house in Westminster-road, which house they entered together. They walked up stairs into a room on the first floor, and called for a glass of gin and water, and Mr. Burrows had just tasted the liquor, when his companion ob served that he changed colour, and immediately fell off the chair on the floor. She immediately rang the bell, and the landlord coming up, and seeing the condition of the gentle man, immediately called in medical aid, but he expired al most instantaneously. A policeman having been apprised of the circumstance, took possession: of the deceased's pro perty—consisting of a gold watch and chain, a purse contain ing a considerable sum of money, and some small silver arti cles. The landlord and the female who was in the company of the deceased at the time he expired, accompanied the policeman to the station-house, and the woman who, it ap pears, is a widow, and lives in Snow's-fields, had been for some time acquainted with the deceased, who had been formerly in the army, and was described to be about 60 years of age. CLERKENWELL-(THIS DAY.) REPORTING AT POLICE COURTS.—When the morning charges were disposed of, Mr. GREENWOOD said his attention had been accidentally directed to a report of an occurrence at this Court in the Illustrated London News. He wished to know in the first instance whether anything occurred before Mr. Combe regarding the case. Mr. Mallet (the chief clerk) said nothing whatever had occurred on the subject since the day on which the affair took place. Mr. GaErNwoon—Then the report in this newspaper is grossly incorrect. (The Magistrate handed the newspaper to the chief clerk, who having perused the report, said it was full of misrepresentations from beginning to end. The reporter of The San begged to say that he had not furnished a report of the occurrence to any newspaper. As the postman's conduct was about to be made the subject of investigation before the Postmaster-General, he thought any newspaper statement previously to that investigation might create an unfavourable and unfair prejudice against him. Mr. OnnycNwoon—You were the only gentleman from the press who was in Court at the time, and I am sure you will agree with me in saying that no part of the occurrence Wok place outside the Court.

Gibbs and others, no fewer than eight of the gentlemen forwarded excuses, showing cause why they ought not to be called on to serve. In most of the cases the grounds were deafness and ill health. On the name of Mr. -- being called, a young man stepped into the witness-box, and upon being asked by Lord Abinger why Mr. did not attend, the reply was, "My Lord, he has run away." " When did he run away ?" in quired his Lordship.—" The 20th of January, my Lord. My master went very fast out of his counting.house, and he has never been seen since." A gentleman of the name of Latham claimed to be exempted on the ground that being one of the Pay. masters in the Exchequer-bill Office, he was not liable to serve either on Special or Common Juries. Lord Abinger observed that from the gentleman being connected with the Exchequer.bill Office, he was a very fit person to serve ; at the same time, if Mr. Latham could show any Act of Parliament which exempted him, it should be attended to ; hut to the best of his (Lord Abinger) re collection, no such Act existed, and therefore the country would have the benefit of his knowledge.
