The Irish papers give most glowing accounts of the enthusiasm with which Mr. O'CONNELL has been re ceived on his way to Cork, where he is to be enter tained at a magnificent public dinner. At every town and village through which the " convicted conspira- I tor" passed, the people assembled in vast crowds, and testified their unabated confidence in him by repeated bursts of acclamation. " I have had many opportu nities," says an eye-witness, writing to a Morning Contemporary on the subject, " of observing the manner in which the Liberator was received when journeying through the several districts of Ireland during the period of the monster-meetings, but on no one occasion have I ever seen a more enthusiastic reception given him, than that which he has this day received as the ' convicted' for conspiring' to liberate his native land by re storing her legislative independence." This strong manifestation of national sympathy for Mr. O'Coat , NELL at a ticklish period like the present, is another of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Irish " difficulties," greater, if possible, than any that he has yet encountered. In what spirit will he meet it—by what means will he overcome it ? He has already tried his utmost to cripple the power of the " convicted conspirator," and the only result of his strenuous efforts has been, to arm that " conspirator" with more power than ever. Influential as Mr. O ' CONNELL is, while at liberty to go where he pleases, and address enormous masses of his countrymen :whenever he sees fit to do so ; he will be infinitely more influential when confined within the four walls of a prison, for to admiration of his talents and confidence in his sincerity, will then be added a deep, heartfelt sympathy in his fete. Ireland will be continually bearing in mind—and the reflec tion will render Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government still more odious than ever in her eyes, and reduce it to a completer state of insignificance than it is in even at present—lreland, we say, will bear in mind that it is for her that Mr. O'CONNELL is suffering imprison ment—that it is for her he is debarred from the fresh When men who have once occupied eminent public air of Heaven, and the enjoyment, so d ear t o hi m, of station depart from among us, we are naturally led a stroll over his native mountains; and this thought to consider what were the merits, the talents, or incessantly fermenting and sinking deeper in the the measures by which that station was attained.

As Mr., and afterwards Sir JAMES SCARLETT, he was for a long course of years prior to 1835 (when he was created Baron ABINGER), a distinguished member of the House of Commons. Up to the period of Mr. CANNING'S Administration, formed in April 1827, his Lordship had been, avow edly, a Whig. He sat with the Whigs, he ♦oted with them ; he was, for the most part, a warm oppo nent of the Government of the Earl of LIVERPOOL', which, established in 1812, endured until February, 1827. In April of the-latter year, Sir JAMES Seim- LETT succeeded Sir CHARLES WiTHERELL, as At torney-General to Mr. CANNII4G'S Government; and he occupied that office, beyond the Pre mier's demise, under the Earl of RIPON'S Administration, until January, 1828, when he re signed. In May, 1829, however, the Duke of WELLINGTON being Prime Minister, he was a second time appointed Attorney-General, in the room of his former predecessor, Sir C. 'WETHERELL, who, also, had been a second time appointed, on the demise of Mr. CANNING, and had retired on his Grace's taking office. Sir JAMES, in his turn, once more gave up this distinguished office on the coming in of his former political friends, in November, 1830, under Earl Gaur. In December, 1834, when Sir R. PEEL re ceived the seals of the First Lord of the Treasury, Sir JAMES SCARLETT was appointed to the Chief Barony of the Exchequer, and in the following year he received his peerage. From this brief review of his official and public career it may be surmised—and the sur mise would be but too well-founded—that the de ceased judge was neither a very pure Whig, nor a very decided Conservative—that he who was ostensibly the confidential legal adviser of the generous-principled, the liberal-minded, the English spirited CANNING, could not have really filled the same position, and frankly discharged its relations, to that Minister—of far inferior capacity and character—who had trodden, so to speak, over the mighty form of his deceased, but more illustrious colleague, into the vacant seat of power. The truth of history requires us to admit that the Parliamentary career of the late Lord ABINGER was of a nature fraught with signal mischief to the influence of great constitutional prin ciples. It tampered with some of the dearest rights of popular freedom. It vacillated between the love of office and the loyalty of party. For we are not afraid to avow our - deep conviction that no more salutary con trol can be devised to insure political morality in public men, than that profession of political faith which is vulgarly called the declaration of party. It is assumed to be founded, and ought to proceed, on the mature examination of such elementary principles as are essential to the guarantees of private rights and public liberty. This is an end, in which all good and patriotic men must at all times collcur. The true means to that end may be, at aoy time, a subject of legitimate and conscientious difference and dis pute among them. But they who, upon examination and conviction, have once determined that the popular tendencies of Whiggery are the most nearly identified with the spirit of our Constitution, and the social and political advancement of the empire, cannot, without incurring grave suspicions if their sincerity, turn round upon such principles of action, and record their adhesion to a Government founded on high Tory maxims of government. Now, no man can deny that there was all this amount of discrepancy between the liberalised—we might call it the emancipated—policy of Mr. CANNING'S Go vernment, as contrasted with that of Lord LIVER POOL, and between the Government of the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir R. PEEL, as collated with that of Mr. CANNING. We remember, that on the odious "Six Bills " of Lord CASTLEREAGH'S introduction, which were insolent, but insidious, invasions of the rights of free discussion, of public meeting, of public petitioning, of personal immunity, of the doctrine of Ministerial responsilsility and public control over official action ; the language and the votes of Mr. SCARLETT halted between large pro fessions of abstract constitutional opinions, —and dan gerous concessions to proposals for their practical discouragement and defeat. Mr. SCARLETT was at all times too strongly imbued with the impressions and doctrine of a high prerogative lawyer to be a good Whig; —we do not concern. ourselves to know how far his Whig habitudes and associations damaged his Tory or Conservative utility. We shall always in sist upon the fact, that his conduct was to be deplored for the sanction it afforded to that laxity, or facility, of political principle, the example of which became a sort of epidemic in succeeding years. At the bar, as a leading counsel, the name of SCARLETT will ever stand among the highest on the list of accomplished, astute, and winning advocates. His knowledge of men, which was extensive and well digested, he brought to bear on what a always aptly termed his " management " of jurors ; and his capacity in this art was pro found. He wielded it through a long and dis tinguished forensic career, with a success absolutely Marvellous: It would have conduced much to his reputation as a judge, could he have forgotten, on the bench, the habits of thinking and modes of arraying facts and evidence which had achieved for him so signal a reputation at the bar. But on the seat of justice, Lord A BINGEIt always appeared, to us, haunted by a sort of involuntary partisanship; and if this was the error of his judicial conclusions, he was liable to occasional errors still more grave, both of temper and discretion. We are loth to exceed, in our notice of the dead, the limits of a temperate and even a lenient censure; nevertheless, we cannot abstain from re marking, that, were we personally interested in the posthumous reputation of the deceased nobleman, s‘ e should have been better pleased' that his career had closed upon him as Sir JAMES SCARLETT than as Lord ABING ; and better still if on Mr., than on Sir James, SCARLETT. TOE SIN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 8, 1844. Association Mr. O'CONNELL thus expresses himselfon the subject of the Bill in'qu-estion•:—" That the te nant-at-will clause in the English Reform Bill, com monly called the CHANDOs clause, has been found, by experience, to work most mischievously, and, in fact, to destroy the independence of the English county voters. It is the worst species of franchise known in England, and, therefore, is brought forward as the principal franchise to be given to Ireland ; while the low rates of franchise_ existing in England have been most un justly taken away from the people of Ireland, and are, with a similar injustice, still retained from them. That another objection to the present Bill is, that it makes no provision for an increase of the representa tion of the Irish nation." When these objections come to he repeated by " the convicted conspirator" week after week ; when, dating from a prison, he en forces his objections by those impassioned and argu mentative appeals to the feelings and intelligence of his countrymen, of which he is so consummate a master, it is not difficult to foresee the effect which this martyr to the cause of Ireland will produce on the popular mind, and the additional—and perhaps also we might add, inextricable—difficulties in which he will involve his Ministerial opponents. We can scarcely anticipate any other fate for Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Irish Franchise Bill, than that which a 3 ear or two since befel Lord STANLEY'S Registration Bill. As Mr. O'CONNELL upset the one, so will he now upset the other, leaving to Government nothing but the sorry consolation of knowing that they have made him a " convicted conspirator." We cannot allow the finding of the Coroner's jury on the late "Extraordinary Suicide in Fleet street," to pass out of public notice, without expressing our entire concurrence in the rebuke which that vtrdict embodied. So far as we can collect the facts from a perusal of the evidence, we certainly can arrive at no other but the appalling conclusion it so emphatically records. " That the deceased (a young woman) committed suicide whilst in a state of temporary in sanity, induced by the cruel and heartless conduct" —of a person who was described as a 8.D., and a cu• rate in holy orders in the Church of England—is the declaration upon oath of twelve respectable jurors resident in the immediate neighbourhood within which this catastrophe has happened. An evil sign of evil times—unhappily not an isolated one, but of a class of recent cases whose name is "Legion." The young man thus disgracefully reflected upon—having very coolly and circumstantially admitted a former guilty intimacy with the deceased—so deported him self in the course of his examination and testimony that the "finding" we have already quoted proceeded in these words :—" and we are compelled to express our strong disapprobation of the flippant and unfeel ing manner in which that gentleman's evidence was given on Monday last." The Coroner, too, in sum ming up, said that " he could not but find fault with this person's conduct towards the deceased, as ad mitted by himselt . on Monday last, who, on her ap pealing to him for his intercession, said, 'lf you confess that you have robbed my brother, I will see what I can do for you.'" No evidence was adduced to lay any ground of probability for the cruel charge involved in this insidious offer. The counsel for the Divinity Bachelor affirmed that his conduct to the unhappy woman had been all that was generous and considerate. The evidence of a party who overheard the dispute between him and her on the night preceding the morning of the suicide, by reason of the thinness of the partition which separated the room of the listener from that of the liti gants, was direct as to language addressed to the de• ceased by the young clergyman (!) of the most brutal and callous character. The whole story, as given by the young man himself, confirms the im pression avowed by the jury of the utter heartiessnesi and cruelty with which he had conducted himself in this affair; and one feels that a more awful responsi- bility attaches to him on account of the premature fate upon which the deceased precipitated herself, than even of the nature of the connexion which he had formed with her. We cannot avoid the conclusion, that this last case of clerical delinquency—like the scandal (with which . the public has been made, within these few weeks, so familiar) of the Rev. Mr. MARsn's incontinency, and the Rev. Mr. DAY'S detestable propensity for cutting, and maiming his neighbours' sheep—calls impera tively upon the hierarchy of the Established Church really to " set their house in order," at least to the extent of better regulating the moral and private con duct of inferior functionaries. It is all very well for Primates and Bishops to deplore the insufficiency of any effective powers in the heads of the Church to enforce moral discipline and decorous, pious, and orderly living among their clergy; but the Church labours under one liability common to all other institutions connected with the State ;—if she be not speedily reformed from within, she will be rudely, but exten sively reformed from without. Instead of attempting to juggle the public by such a Bill as that now before Parliament, professing to regulate and .remodel the Ecclesiastical jurisdiction, Sir ROBERT PEEL should originate some bona-fide measure maturely adapted to such a purpose; and entrust its conduct (if he cannot retain its management himself) to hands beyond the reach pf suspicion or the imputation of interested mo tives. This question must again be brought before Parliament and subjected to the most earnest and searching discussion. In like manner, if the Primates anti Bishops of the Church be not in the meantime able to devise some better tests of moral competency and personal conduct prior to the ordination of clerks, or some surer guarantees for the due maintenance of these qualifications afterwards, the Church itself will speedily lose much of its hold on the affections and respect of a vast proportion of its present flock. The cases of delin quency to which we more particularly allude are, we freely. admit, disgraceful exceptions to the general rule by which the demeanour of the "order" is governed. But the truth is, that these ex ceptions have become so numerous as to weary, to disgust and resentment, the outraged patience of the public. It is not in these times—in this country, at least—that such offensive exhibitions of immorality and misconduct, among a class to whom we are ac customed habitually to look for our examples of "piety and holiness of living," can be thus repeated with impunity. Society has little toleration to spare for vices or follies which are so injurious to its own best interests and private respectability. But when they who indulge in them, under circumstances, too, that must necessarily bring the details of their cases before the public, are found in the ranks of our clerical pastors, they must be classed among the mos inexcusable and most mischievous offenders against public morals. A report prevailed in Madrid that, on the birth day of CHRISTINA (the 27th inst.) an amnesty would he proclaimed. Rumours are very prevalent of a serious misunderstanding between NARVAEZ and M. Gors- ZALES BRAVO ; the former supports a return to an absolute Government, and the continuance of martial law ; the latter is disposed to resort to the forms of the Constitution. The part taken by the QUEEN MOTIIER will probably decide which of the two will gain the ascendancy. RoNcam has announced his entry into Carthagena, in a dispatch to the Minister of War. He states that the chiefs of the late insurrection have escaped from the city, and that he has secured only a few of the subordinates, whom he deems unworthy of the bullets he had destined for the leaders. The Three per Cents. were done at 36i at sixty days, the Fives at 23i at sixty days. The French funds were slightly affected on Satur day by a report that an attempt had been made on the life of the Duchess of ORLEANS on the previous day. The following account of the incident that gave rise to the rumour is given in the Moniteur : "This morning (Friday), at the church of Chauchat, a man, who was in the gallery, in front of that occupied by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Orleans, made some gestures which drew upon him the attention of the persons placed in the church to keep order. At the mo ment that they were ordering the individual to quit the church, he drew a very small dagger from his pocket, without, however, appearing to have any intention of using it. lie was taken out of the chapel, and recog- Ha T n h ov e e a r c , caonudnwt hoofstehriie eanfftaailrfacgiulvetniesbyartehdeepraatitgLd." rus, as a Ger man b y birth, who in general resides in varies from the a b ove:— rather " The commencement of the Bourse (st ys the Pairie) was greatly agitated to-day. People whc pretended to be well informed, stated that the Duchess -of Orleans had escaped becoming the victim Of an assassin in going to pa) her devotions at the new Evangylicat church in the Rue Chauchat—that a man,:armed with a "ignard, had rushed upon her, and that an officer iq tho service had warded off the blow by receiving it himself. - The ru4- mOur of such an attempt made against a Princess so justly popular as her Royal Highness, created an im mense sensation. The rumour at first lowered the Three per Cents. 25c., but fortunately the Bourse is not far from the Rue Chauchat, and as soon as the real truth was known, the Funds rose again to 83. The fol lowing is the truth, according to information taken on the spot :—A man of about 50 years of age, pretty well dressed, had been pointed out to the police as being furiously deranged. A peace officer seeing him enter the church where the Duchess of Orleans was, rushed to stop him. A struggle ensued, and th e o ffi cer rece i ve d on the hand a blow from a poignard. He, however, overcame the man, who was carried to a place in the neighbourhood and searched, when another knife was found upon him. The affair, as may be conceived, made a great sensation in the church, and the Princess, who was in a raised gallery, having asked what was the matter, was informed that a thief had b. en made pri soner. But the rumour in travelling increased and im proved, and we know what it became by the time it reached the Bourse, when it so happened that they had no other rumours of any kind to talk about." The Messager publishes a long report from the Duke D'AUSIALE, Commandant of the province of Constantine, on the expedition in the Ziban, and on the commencement of the operations in the chain of the Aures mountains. It appears that the army has overrun all the oases known under the name of the Ziban, in the first plains of the desert, has driven off the Caliph who governed the district in the name of Ann-EL-KADER, and dispersed the troops sent against it. In a rather sharp action that took place at Dlechoueche, the Duke de MONTPENSIER, who was engaged with the army for the first time, was slightly wounded in the face. The repeal of the stamp duties on newspapers has been carried in the Chamber of Deputies by a ma jority of 6, the numbers being, for the motion brought forward by M. de MONTLAVILIX, 146; against it, 140. The proposal was strongly opposed by the Minister of Finance on behalf of the Cabinet, princi pally on the ground that the revenue could not spare so large a sum as that raised by the duty. 'There is little intelligence from Italy in these papers beyond what has been already published. A letter from Stockholm, dated the 22d ult., com municates the death of the KING'S foster brother, General CAMPS, and gives the details of the post mortem exathination of the remains of the late Mo narch : " General Camps, the foster brother of the late King, and who had for many years been one of his Aides-de- Camp, has closely follosed his master to the tomb. He died the day before yesterday. Of all the French who came into Sweden with the Prince Royal in 1810, the General was the last survivor. The obsequies of the deceased monarch are announced for April 27. Our journals publish the report of the autopsy, made by the celebrated Retzius, in the presence of all the witnesses required by the ceremonial in such cases. ' Externally there is nothing anormal but the scars of a gun-shot wound in the head, and of a wound in the thigh from a lance; but it is ascertained that there was in the brain ',maid() alba, or a softening of the fornix; some serous effusions and morbid adhesions, and in the arteries of the lower members the ravages of the gangrena The process of embalment is now going on. General Count de LoWenheim (our late minister at Viei:na), is to be the bearer of the letters to the King of the French, and other generals will carry them to London, 'Vienna, St. Petersburgh, Berlin, Copenhagen, and Munich. The States-General are *bout to be convoked. The King will be crowned in Sweden in the course of the summer, and later in Norway." - PARIS AND ORLE ANS RAILWAT.—The following is a return of the traffic on the Paris and Orleans Railway, for the week ending the 2d of April:- 22,075 Passengers 78,639f. 65e.

The packet-ship Montezuma, Captain Lowber, ar rived here this afternoon from New York, whence she sailed on the 18th, seven days after the Virginian, that reached this port on Monday. The lamentable accident of the bursting of the gun on board the Princeton had been examined into and pn reported te d fur r p t o h n e by a purpose.committee calamity to have been entirely accidental, and it exo nerates the captain and others connected with the vessel from all blame. Their report d escr ib es the of naval officers ap pointed Texas is again being discussed with much warmth, as regards its incorporation with the United States. rublic feeling appears to be a good deal divided on the subject of the annexation. The President is eagerly in favour of it, and it is said that he has concluded a treaty for carrying the project into effect. This treaty will have to be submitted to the Senate for ratification, where, the accounts also say, it is sure of a favourable recep tion. The subject had been taken up in the House of Representatives; but nothing was elicited respect ing the movements of the Executive. Mr. Webster, who is adverse to the project, had published a letter, making his views known ; he regards the union as already too unwieldy, and to extend it to Texas would, he conceives, seriously weaken its present stability. One of those distressing calamities which appear to prevail on the American waters to a greater extent than in any other part of the world—a steam-boat collision—occurred at Old River, and is fully detailed in the New Orleans papers. The loss of life 13 stated to be between sixty and eighty. One of the boats sunk almost instantly, the others escaped without injury; the accident happened at midnight, when the passengers were, for the most part, in bed and asleep. Amongst the sufferers were a considerable number of negroes. Disturbances had taken place at St. Domingo, in which some officers of the Government bad been killed, and others, on a more extensive scale, were apprehended. _ _ - The House of Representatives, in Pennsylvania, had, instead of making an effort to retrieve the cha racter of the State, by paying the interest on their ock, passed a resolution against free-trade and a ow tariff, as being likely to afflict the country with a auper population! The papers contain an account of a duel between two newspaper editors at Vicksburg, in which one of the parties was killed. Duels in other parts of the country are detailed. Business at New York, when the packet sailed, was brisk, and money abrndant. The Cotton Market was quiet, and all speculation in the staple had ceased. MONEY MARKET, MARCH 16. (From the New York Commercial Advertiser.) The public expectation has been somewhat disap pointed by the course of proceeding of the Legislature of the defaulting States, in relation to It resumption of payment of the interest upon their indebtedness. A considerable degree of confidence had been felt that the improvement in the general business of the country would excite a more honourable feeling in the popula- tion of these States, and that the Members of the Legis latures would be authorised by public opinion to impose additional taxes, in order to make due provision for that purpose. The adjournment of the Legislature of Indiana, with out showitig any disposition to restore the credit of the State, had the effect to check the feeling of confidence in regard to the perfection of any measures by other States at their present sessions. The Legislature of Maryland have now adjourned, without accomplishing anything, although various measures had been under discussion. What Pennsylvania may do is yet uncertain. Upon her action depends, in a great degree, the estima tion in which our State securities and our national cha racter will be held abroad. We cannot but indulge the hope that the measures which have been proposed, or others designed to accomplish the same object, will yet be adopted, sad a beginning, at least be made towards restoring the credit of the country, And rendering simple justice to their creditors. - Inditutz and Illinois are not now supposed to be able to pay their interest punctually without increasing the principal, though even they might do something toward it; but Pennsylvania cannot make the excuse of in ability. Her delay, so long as it continues, will be chargeable only to unwillingness. One portion of the Legislature would favour taxation, provided the public wprks were to be sold ; another would go for taxation if they were not to be sold ; the votes in either case de pending upon the, carrying out of their own peculiar views ; while still another portion, and perhaps the largest, are in favour.of such measures, and such only as ate designed to seeure their own re-election.

The following history of the large gun, which, by its bursting, was the cause of the dreadful catastrophe on b )ard the United States' stt amer, Princeton, is given in the report of the Naval Court of Inquiry appointed to investigate the causes of the accidt nt "Inthe year 1839 Captain Stockton, be7ng in Eng land, his attention was attracted to the extraordinary and important improvements which had recently been in troduced into the manufacture of large masses of wroti2ht . iron, as a substitute for ca s t ir on , f or ()Ejects which requir e d a combination of strength and adhesiveness, or tough ness. Large shafts fur steam-engines had been thus fabricated, which experience had demonstrated to be superior in those qualifies which were desirable, to the same articles manufactured of cast iron. • • " These circumstances appear to have led Captain ' Stockton to consider the question how far the same ma terial might be employed in the construction of cannon •of large calibre. He appears to. have been animated by motives the most patriotic; stimulated by the laudable desire of being himself instrumental in promoting the honour of his country, and of elevating that branch of the 'service with which he was personally connected. " After much deliberation and several consultations, with calculations furnished from the same quarter, Captain Stockton determined upon the construction of a gun of the proposed dimensions, fur the purpose of testing the opinions of scientific men by the results of experience. A cannon was accordingly made at the Mersey works, of Yorkshire iron, which, being approved of, was shipped to the United States. Having been pro perly prepared for the purpose, this gun was carried to Sandy Hook and subjected to what was deemed the proper test. After the first firing, preparations were made to mount the gun. In doing this a crack was per • ceived 'opposite the chamber, which induced Captain Stockton to have the breech strengthened by putting bandS around it. These bands are represented 'as being three-and-a-half inches in thicknesS. With this addi tiond strength given to the defective part of the gun, the experiments were renewed, and th e resu lt ways adecided conviction upon the minds of all connected with them, that, in general, the anticipations of Captain Stockton were perfectly realised ; and, secondly, that if a gun of this construction should yield to the force of the trial, it would be by a simple opening, and not, as in cast iron, a violent disruption and scattering of the fragments: "The success of these experiments Iv as such as to decide Captain Stockton forth,,ith to direct the con struction of untidier gun of a similar character, to be made of American iron, which is usually regarded as superior in strength arid tenacity to the English iron. This second gun (the same which exploded on board the rrinceton) was constructed with a chamber similar to that of the first gun, with an additional thickness of twelve inches at the breech—a difference, even if the metal were only of equal goodness, far more than suffi cient to compensate for the bands by which the first had been fortified. "Application was made to Colonel.Thmford. of the ordnance department of the army, who, it is well known, has been professionally occupied in 4,xperimenting ups tt guns of a large calibre, and his opinion req ues t e d as to the proper proof to which o-tteh a gun ought to be sub jected.. The .proof su:;gested by Colonel Bom'ord as a suitable one, will be found in his le!ter of November 25, 1840, appended to the record. The new gun con structed by order of Captain Stockton exceed d in di mension and weight, consequently, should taso have surras,ed in strength that contemplated by Cot , nel Bamford, they being of the same calibre, turd the Frouf to which this cannon was subjected was much m , ,re se% ere than what was proposed as sufficient by that ex• perienced offic:r." The Aurora says, the youn; man s;:nlenct , d to death for aiding in the cscape of a quadroon s:ave hac been pardoned by the Governor of South Carolina. lie is, however, to be publicly whipped." DEATH OF LORD ABINGER. • BURY ST. EDMUND'S, APRIL 7.—Lord Abinger is dead. His Lordship expired this day (Sunday), at pre eisely a quarter before two, P.M. His death was tran quil. Lady Abinger and. his Lordship's physician left Bury for town about six o'clock. The remains of his Lordship will be removed on Tuesday. As all matters connected with the Chief Baron of the Court of. Exchequer are now subjects of history-, it may be interesting to state that the present Lady Abinger was formerly Mrs. Ridley, the widow of the late Rev. Mr. Ridley, of Oekley-green, near Ripley, whose hus band was a descendant of the celebrated Protestant martyr, Bishop Ridley. Among other relics of this pious individual in the possession of Lady Abinger, is the chair in which he used to study. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.

The wea ther confines remarkably fine, the course is in first rate order, and arrivals enough are reported to ensure a good, if not a crowded meeting. Those to whom a pro longed absence from to%%n would be inconvenient, will be glad to hear that the Directors of the Northern Counties Railway have advertised special trains for the first days of the Craven and First Spring Meetings, to start at half-past seven in the morning, and return from Hockerill at half-past nine the same evening ; coaches will be in readiness at the latter terminus to convey pas sengers to and from Newmarket.
