Protestant, that Protestant does not live who could be half so determined or strenuous as I would be in my opposition to such a law.—(Cheers.) What I want is fair play, and that the Protestants, who are the richer persons in Ireland, should support their religion—that they should not call upon the Catholics for that pur- Pose, who, in addition to contributing to the rotestant Church in Ireland, support their own clergy. That is an injustice, and we have a right to complain of it ; it is a grievance of most unfair and unjust nature; for nothing can be more unjust than to oblige a man with Christian feelings to contributeto a religion which he does not be lieve to be true.—(Hear, hear.) If I went to a man and said to him, " Father M‘Ghee is my priest ; he is an excellent pastor, a good man in every respect, so I wish that you would pay him ;" the man says, in answer, " He may be a very good man, but I do not believe in the doctrine which he teaches." If I then said to him, " Oh, I am the State, and whether you believe his doc trines or not you must pay him, for I believe him ;" if I spoke and acted in that manner, would not the man to whom I so addressed myself, if he were strong enough to du so, assist me to a quick march as soon as possible?—(Cheers and laughter.) Well, that is what is done in Ireland every day. A Protestant says to me, " You must pay my parson ;" and I say to him, " I'd rather not." " Why so ?" he asks me. " For a reason I have," I reply. " What is your reason ?" he demands. " Because I don't believe he tells truth," I answer.—(Great laughter.) Well," he continues, " truth or no truth, you must pay him, and I'll indict you for a conspiracy if you complain."—(Renewed laughter and great cheering.) That is the fact in Ire land—it is literally the way in which the case stands ; and although I may cover it with the light colour of jocularity, as the custom of my countrymen is in many of their most serious sufferings, yet believe me that it is an injustice of a grievous and oppressive nature ; it is, indeed, the monster grievance of Ireland.—(Hear, hear. Is it not a gross injustice to compel us to assent and give our support to the propagation of that - which we believe to be error ? As an Irishman, I abominate that in justice ; and, as a Christian, I appeal to the God of Justice against it. lam struggling for justice for Ireland, which would be obtained by a restoration of her Parliament. I appeal to you all, was there ever a Parliament from which I could have less hopes than the present, with its Chandos clause and its corn-law tax— that tax which makes the poor man pay a high price for his loaf, in order that the rich man may be made richer? —(Hear, hear.) Why, Peel and Roebuck both ad mitted that there never was so much bribery practised as at the last election, and that is the Parliament that declared, with one hundred majority, against Ireland. All I ask for Ireland, all I demand for her, is fair play. But what chance have I of that in such a Parliament ? —(Hear, hear.) There is no chance of it; but if you want to try and get the Repealers away from me, show the Irish a chance of justice, and, perhaps, you may get the Repealers to join you; but for myself such promises or e - xpeetatioes would be of no use, for I am too old a bird 'to be caught by chaff—(Laughter)—and I look to an Irish Parliament for the only redress for the grievances of Ireland. I have no hopes but in an Irish Parliament, and I would look upon the obtaining its restoration as the most useful and important occurrence that England ever witnessed; for if we had our domestic legislature the attention of the English Parliament would be more concentrated over England, and that time might be devoted by Englishmen to their own affairs, which is now consumed in Irish bye-battles, such as that which occupied ten or twelve daYs of the present session.— ( Hear, hear.) If Ireland had her own Parliament, the foggy muddiness which, arising from those Irish squabbles in the Imperial Parliament, now darkens the political atmosphere so frequently, and prevents the inte rests of Englishmen from being so clearly discerned, would then be removed, and Englishmen would have a better chance of obtaining justice from an English Par liament, with a closer attention to their own affairs. It would be advantageous in every respect ; Ireland, if she were wealthy, would be a better consumor for English manufactures, and a more prosperous sister-country. By the way, it is rather an odd thing to call Paddy a sister.—(Great laughter.) If that were the case Ireland would be united more firmly with England, and her union would prove more advantageous—she would be bound to England with adamantine ties. If you are desirous of taking away Repealers from me, give them . justice, and try to remove them from me by that means; but you never can convince me that any other than an Irish Parliament will give justice to Ireland, and. I will go to the grave with that feeline. ; but let the call on you now to join in doing that which will be of benefit to both • countries—in giving a strong pull and a long pull for England and for Ireland— for Ireland and for England ; a strong pull, a long pull, and a pull altogether. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman resumed his seat, amidst loud cheering. • The Rev. Dr. ULLATHORNE then addressed the meet ing, winch soon after separated. CELTIC ENTERTAINMENT. HIGHLAND MUSIC AND DANCE. Under the above title an entertainment of great novelty and interest was last evening given (for the seventh time) at the Music Hall, Store-street, Bedford-square, by the celebrated pipers and dancers of the Highlands, who were selected for their eminent excellence, by the noble owner of Taymouth Castle, to exhibit the peculiarities and beauties of their national music and their equally characteristic dances, before her Majesty and Prince Albert, during her stay at the Castle, on the occasion of her late visit to Scotland. It is well known that her Majesty, who is in these matters a connoisseur of the greatest taste and judgment, expressed herself delighted with their performance. The entertainment of last night convinced us that it could not have been otherwise, and a crowded audience testified by enthu siastic applause, and encores (too numerous, considering the great exertion required from the performers), that they felt equal delight with that which their gracious and accomplished Sovereign had enjoyed. The per formers are four—John Cameron, Archibald Mac • donald; Duncan Mackay, and Donald Macdougall, and the labours of the evening, and opportunities of dis playing their powers, are fairly divided between them, and in each Piobaireachd (Pibroch) and tune each re ceived that full meed of applause and admiration which he richly merited, and which was, perhaps, much en hanced by the entire novelty of the amusement, to the lovers of song in this " Far South." The dances— extremely pleasing, and, to us of London, entirely new— whose pas de sent, or, if we may so speak, sobs —or perhaps flings—were performed by Archibald Macdonald, with polished grace and finely regulated activity, as well as, in some instances, with considerable humour. In the character of " a Highland Shepherdess, in real costume," he took the company by surprise (not withmanding the previous exhibitions of his art in the course of the evening), and drew down unbounded plaudits. He looked and dressed the character to per fection, and mingled an expression of coyness, sim plicity, and archness in his style, both at his entrée and and throughout the dance, which did great credit to his powers as an actor. It was the very reverse of coarse and droll, and yet it provoked irresistible laughter, simply because the role of the shepherdess, with a well formed foot and ancle, which the omnibus-box would not find fault with, was performed by the manly High lander, whose exhibitions in his own character hadpleased them so much. The metamorphosis was complete and well sustained, and the dancing graceful, elastic, and elegant. We have unintentionally been led to speak of the dancing before the music, although the latter, on account of its rank and the excellent style of its per formance, claims priori of of notice. Perhaps the greater novelty of our impress ons may be an excuse. The music consisted of varied performances on the Highland pipes, with the exception of a tune, " Roderick Mhic Alpine Du," and a hornpipe, " the East Neuk of Fife," played on the violin in a masterly style by a Mr. Ewen Fraser, and rapturously cheered by an audience to whom the instrument was by no means so novel as the pipes were. We must acknowledge that we had no notion of the merits of the Highland pipes until we heard the instruments in rho hands of these masters. Their tones were as melodious as they were brisk, and theirplaying was equally steady, vigorous, delicate, and exact. We need not particularise the names of the numerous pieces played, as we could have little to say as to their comparative merits. They were all received with equal enthusiasm. If an excep tion should be made in this respect, it should be to the tunes " Queen Victoria's Welcome to Dunkeld," by Mackay (the difference of the applause being certainly to be ascribed to its loyal, theme) ; and " Bodich na Lrioga.a)," by J. Cameron. " The Gillie Callum, or Sword Dance" (as performed before her Nlajesty, at Taymouth Castle), by Archibald Macdonald, and the " Strathspey Steps," by Donald Macdougall, were executed with surprising agility and neatness. Each part of the entertainme n t was concluded by a ' reel in which four of the perform ers t a k e part, and each of these elegant, and truly national dances, was encored. In a word, we have scarcely ever made part of a more gratified audience, or witnessed an entertainment more deserving of its success. They are to be at the King's Arms, Kensington, on Friday next, under the special Patronage of Captain Charles Forbes ; and at the Lon don T avern , on W e d nes d ay , t h e 3d o f April. ANONYMOUS LETTER-WRITING.--A well-conducted female servant, who had been dismissed from her servitude in a highly -respectable family in Hereford, for telling a false hood by denying she had a " follower," drowned herself in the Wye about nine days since, her body being picked up on Friday se'nnight, about a mile from the house of a relative with whom she had found an asylum. There is too much reason to believe that this unhappy , and ill-fated girl was the victim of the heartless calumnies of one of her own sex ! An anonymous letter, in a feminine hand, was addressed to the mistress of the deceased, cautioning the lady of the equi vocal character and something worse of the maid-servant, and broadly hinting at acts of profligacy upon the part of the girl, which, if true, would have seriously affected her reputa • Lion. The contents of the letter were communicated to the accused and the rest of the household, and its purport, as a consequence, was also soon known to some of the other ser vants residing in the neighbourhood. 'The deceased, in the innocence of her nature, detailed the slanderous imputations to her lover, whom she was going to be married to, and for whoso, reception, upon the prospect of a happy union taking place; a house had been furnished. The infamous insinuation preyed so much upon her sensitive and feelings, out rag i:, • 'that notwithstanding her betrothed scouted the charge with scorn, yet life became intolerable to the poor girl, and the destruction of her own existence became (in a moment when reason was overpowered by despair) the only apparent means of escape from the fangs of her secret per secutors The infamous and cowardly practice of sending anonymous slandering letters has latterly much prevailed in Herefod. It is to be hoped the horrible consequence which has in this instance been the result, will bring the au thors to the most contrite repentance ; but we must add, that , these who listen to cruel and malicious slanders so conveyed are themselves responsible for much of the guilt of this vile i sin.—Gloucester Journal. The three days' balloting—Tuesday, Wednesday, And Tlntriday—:at the United ServiCe Club, has passed over black balling. Sixty candidates were elected.

THE WEATHER-SUN OFFICE, MARCH 20. THERMOMETER, Lowest, 38 ; Highest, 47 ; Noon, 48. BAROMETER, 29.6.—Wrsn, N.E. _ _ of the time for the line of conduct he pursued in 1814 ; but ha was most painfully situated, the interests of his native country demanding one course of policy — the interests of his adopted country another ; under such circumstances, being without the power to pre serve neutrality, but compelled to take a decided part in the great struggle, we do not think he could have acted otherwise than he did, though we are aware it may be alleged against him that the decision he came to was precisely that which best suited his own personal interests. At the period of his death BERNADOTTE must have been nearly eighty years of age ; and whether we consider him as a soldier or a sovereign, he was undoubtedly one of the most reputable of that numerous band of publio adven turers whom the Revolution called forth from ob scurity into the broad glare of notoriety. In the House of Lords the Three-and-a Half per Cent. Annuities Bills were read a third time and passed. They will receive the Royal assent in a few days, and one of the greatest financial operations of the age will be completed without a murmur. This shows the advantage of keeping faith with the public creditor. In the Commons, Mr. HUMS gave notice of a mo tion for abolishing the office of Lord Lieutenant for Ireland. Mr. PETER BORTHWICK gave notice, that in a fort night he should move an address to the Crown, for the purp6se of referring all matters ecclesiastical to a Convocation of the Clergy—in other words, for re storing a system which experience had shown was in compatible with free legislation, and which was only intended to give power to the Church. Sir ROBERT PEEL gave notice that on an early day he would move for a Select Committee on Con troverted Elections. In answer to a question from Mr. LABOUCHERE, Lord ASHLEY said on Friday night he should en treat the House to affirm the proposition that the words " ten hours' " labour in manufactories should be substituted for " twelve." Sir JAMES GRAHAM said the Government would take the sense of the House on the motion of the No ble Lord. In answer to a question from Captain Rots, rela tive to rumours that the QUEEN was, in the course of the summer, to pay a N . risit to the King of PRUSSIA, Sir ROBERT PEEL said: he believed those rumours to be entirely without foundation. Mr. RICARDO moved for an Address to the Crown, the object of which was to make alterations in the Customs' duties without any reference to the com mercial policy of other nations. Mr. GLADSTONE, Lord Howic.a., and Mr. HUME spoke on the motion, but the House did not seem to take any interest in the affair. At a quarter to eight o'clock, a Member moved that the House be counted, and there being only thirty-nine Members present, it adjourned.

Morning .. 47 minutes after 2 Evening • • 1 minute arter 3. The " appeal from PHILIP drunk to PHILIP sober" never could have developed a more impressive con trast than the comparison of the natural advantages, and resources, and riches of Spain with her present disabled, degraded, and ruinous position, must suggest to every reflecting mind. This comparison has been forcibly recalled to us by a perusal of the " Thirteenth Part" of Mr. MACGREGOR'S invaluable work, "Com mercial Tariffs and Regulations of the several States of Europe and America ;" for the Part in question is devoted to " Spain." If it be no longer THE Spain of those palmy and im perial ages in which her Sovereigns justly claimed a pre-eminence among the Monarchs of Europe, as being " Lords of Spain and of the Indies"—if their proud boast may no more be heard " that, on their domi nions the sun never set" a (a prestige which has long since quitted the sceptre of FERDINAND or of CHARLES, to attach to that which has been wielded by our GEORGES and WILLIAMS, and is now sustained by VICTORIA the FIRST)—it is still one of the most mag nificent countries and most anciently-settled kingdoms of the Old World. It is not necessary to insist on the entire accuracy of the Count DE LABORDE'S assertion, that " no country in Europe is so generally fertile as Spain, or has equal advantages at all sea sons of the year." Nor are we bound to accept, with out large qualifications indeed, the recent estimate of M. ARGUELLES, which assumes the total annual value of her territorial wealth to be so much as 8,572,220,591 reals, equal to nearly 90,000,0001. sterling: But the fact seems certain, that in spite of all the foreign and domestic convulsions to which the pursuits of her native agriculture have been subject ever since the commencement of the present century, the amount of grain, especially of wheat, produced in Spain, even at this time, is very enormous. After making every allowance on account of the disastrous operation upon all the prospects of husbandry, of civil wars and dilapidated finances, and of the more primary elements of inadequate tillage and defective cultivation, and the precariousness of all investments in land, arising from the impolitic and .oppressive character of such tenures as the "inalienable, indi visible Mayorazgos," for instance ; and still more from the paralysing influence of that great corporate monopoly, the " Mesta," or associated land pro prietors (for Spain, among her other visitations, is cursed with agricultural protection (1) to the most orthodox extent of that delusion)—we may yet marvel at the extent of her flocks and her herds, the variety and the quantity of her wines, and the abundance and richness of her mineral products. In these last there is reason to believe that, could her mining operations be conducted with the application of sufficient capital, and main tained without interruption from violence or their external causes—and always assuming in the first place, that the spirit of her Government could be so - ameliorated as to maintain its relations with foreign capitalists, with some pretensions to a small stock of common faith and honesty—Spain would find herself richer, at this moment, than she has ever found herself at any former period of her history. The lead ores of that country have long been cele brated for their surpassing richness ; the quality of the lead is unexceptionable ; and its argentiferous production is singularly rich. • " The silver and lead mines (writes Mr. MACGREGOR, p. 81) lately dis covered in the Sierra Almagrera, in Almeira, near the borders of Murcia, are described as remarkably rich." Coal is found in great plenty in the Pyrenees, in the Asturias, in Andalusia, Valencia, and other parts. Iron is chiefly smelted in the Basque provinces, the ore of Somorrostro is there made to yield one-third of good iron ; that of Mondragon forty per cent. Copper abounds in Navarre and the Asturias. In Arragon, Andalusia, Valencia, and Catalonia there are (especially, in Arragon, neglected), mines of gold and silver, cobalt, antimony, zinc, arsenic, salt, manganese, &c.—in Almaden (La Mancha) some of the finest mines of- quicksilver in the world, a great part of whose treasures is raised by English capital, and exported hither. Yet with these elements of wealth, with "a climate preferable to that of Greece, Italy, or France," with sea coast affording infinite commercial facilities on the shores of the Mediterranean and the coasts of the Atlantic ; with noble rivers watering her compact and naturally fortified home territory, 640 miles in length by 550 in breadth, with her valuable possessions of the Balearic and Canary Islands and their important trade ; with her noble colonies in the West, of Cuba and Porto Rico, in the East, of the Phillippines—the foreign commerce of Spain is of comparative insigni ficance." All the accidents of climate, of geographical position, of territorial surface, and colonial connexion are in favour of its extension to any point which could be predicated of their capacity for pushing it. But centuries of the most vicious and immoral go vernment, a succession of feeble or wicked Princes, the lamentably degraded state of public character throughout the whole administration of the State, debasing wh an ic d h, d s e i s n tr c u e c t ti h v e e de r a e t s h ul o ts f p o s t* R t p h i e za su N c i: c a e n ss id the factions VII., have fought out their sordid feuds and steeped their ambitious swords in the best and bravest blood of the kingdom, have diverted or choked up the stream of that bounty which PROVIDENCE intended for the maintenance and the happiness of a whole people. A grinding yet despicable, timid yet fero cious, military despotism tramples in the dust of the most abject bondage, the posterity of the old conquerors of Italy—the former terror of France ; ,the discoverers and vanquishers of a new world, in which, as if in expiation of their cruelty, they founded some of the most beneficent of the municipal institutions of their ancestors. To what has the once imperial revenue of their Pinurs and their CHARLBSES dwindled, in these days—a salu-, tory lesion to the suicidal criminality of those whd govern, that from the wrong and oppression of the governed the only permanent spoil which can be reaped consists in the alienated affections, corrupted morals, the vanished virtues, and torpid spirit of the latter ; the restless jealousies, incessant treasons, and insatiable demands for blood and sacrifice which are the righteous legacy of their own crimes. The whole of the present revenue of Spain does not exceed about 9,000,0001. sterling. " The debt of Spain in January, 1842, is stated to amount," says Mr. MACGREGOR, "to 14,160,968,047 reals, or 157,344,0801. sterling. Of this debt, about 65,000,0001. is only admitted to be due to foreigners, the interest of which has not been discharged for several years." The above statement evidently does not include " the amount stated in 1833, as debt without interest, which see." Now on referring to the table here indicated (it is at p. 85), we find that the heading " debt without interest" is composed of these items : Francs. Amount of arrears of public debt 2,537,050,574 Unsettled debt of Treasury, prior to 18th March, 1808 123,651,243 Ditto of the first restoration Ditto of the Constitutional Government and of second restcration. 3,010,705,817 If, on Mr. MACGREGOR'S authority we are to add this amount to the capital above stated, the aggregate of the debt of Spain will he, not 157,344,0801., but 282,790,1551. sterling. What must be the Court venality, the unprincipled profligacy of administra tions, and the rapacity of soldiers of fortune, and Mi nisters like those we see now in power in a country, which a judge as competent as Mr. MACGREGOR deems to be still so gifted with natural wealth, and the means of rapidly multiplying capital, could she but find trusty and able ministers, that he does not hesi tate thus to notice what she might :become, despite what she is. " Spain, however, neQd not, in her financial burdens or obligations, be considered in a desperate condition. She has abundant resources, and requires only an honest and enlightened administration, a wise and sound re form of her customs-laws and duties, and of her direct taxation, to attain, in ten years at furthest, from the adoption of such reforms, an independent treasury, and the honourable distinction of fulfilling her na tional obligations." Madrid Papers, of the 12th, have been received. Ac cording to the Castellano, the unfortunate BONET had made important disclosures which compromise certain individuals at Madrid, and promised more, on condition that his life should be spared. RONCALI, however, rejected the proposition, and refused even to see him. On the same day on which the horrid scene took place at Alicant, a somewhat similar tragedy was enacted at Lugo, where the partizan Chief CASTRO VILAR, and three of his companions, were shot by order of one of her MAJESTY'S superior offi cers. Acconnts from Carthagena state that the insurgents had signified their willingness to admit the QUEEN'S troops on a promise of their lives being spared, and on condition that none but the QUEEN'S troops should enter. To this proposition it was replied, that on the first point the orders of the Government would be carried into execution; and on the second, that the National Guard, which formed the advanced guard, would enter at the head of the division. The English and French Consuls had left Carthagena for Escombrers, with the intention of saving the lives of those that might fall into the hands of RONCALI. The Three per Cents. were done at 31i for eash, and 321 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 22f for cash, and 23 at 60 days. Most of the Paris papers of Monday publish the do cuments relative to Otaheite, which have been laid be fore the House of Commons. They, of course, are far from satisfying the Opposition party, who complain that they are only garbled extracts, put forth to mislead the public, but such absurd remarks really deserve no notice. On Monday the Chamber of Deputies resolved, almost unanimously, to take into consideration the motions of MM. BEA.UNONT and LACROSSE, for the prevention of fraud, bribery, and corruption at elections. The debate on the Secret Service Money Bill then com-. menced. We find no domestic intelligence of interest in these papers. The Journal des Deficits, however, has a long article on the affairs of Greece, which throw some new light on the manceuvres of Russia in that quarter. The following extracts from it will be read with in terest : "At the same time that we receive the account of the discussion in the House of Commons on the affairs of Greece, we receive intelligence from Athens, announci4g change in the Ministry. formed after the Revolution of Sep tember: It is known that M. Metaxa, who is considered as the head of the Russian party, was the Yresidnit of this Ministry. M. Metaxa had solicited the aid of M. Coletti and M. Mavrocordato, who are looked on as the leaders of the French and English parties, and those statesmen had promised their support to the Cabinet, although they refused to form a part of it. Hitherto MM. Coletti and Mavrocordato had merely served as a counterpoise to the Russian party, which, in Greece shows itself as liberal as it is despotic in Russia. What would prove, if necessary, what we say is, that the com pact hitherto 'maintained with much difficulty has been broken on a question in which the most precious prerogative of Royalty was concerned. The National Assembly had to discuss the constitution of the Chamber of Peers or Senate. Was the nomination of senators to be left to the King, or to the elective body 7 4 ' This question had been resolved con formably to monarchial principles. But were the senators to be named fer life, or for a certain fixed period? This is what the National Assembly was called on to decide. The Radical party, with which the Russian party united, wanted to have the senators appointed for ten years. The moderate party, headed by MM. Colletti and Mavrocordato, were of opinion that they ought to be named for life. A first vote divided the Assembly into two equal parts, but after two days' dis cussion, 112 votes were given for the appointment for life, and 92 for the nomination for a certain period. This vote caused a great sensation in Athens. The Russian, or Nappist party, endeavoured to turn the popular passions journals appeared in mourning ; • and MM. Mavrocordato, ;and L on d on were po i n t e d out Coletti, o oie accounttti3Opposition ; pamphlets were di s t r ib u t e d i n th e c it y ; as objects for public disapprobation, but the people did not respond to those attempts at excitement. 31. Metaxa gave in his .ni resignation as President of the Council, as did M. Shynas,Mi ster of E cc l es i ast i ca l Aff a i rs. Never theless, the other members of the C a bi ne t rema i ne d a t th e i r posts. A man who bears an historical name, alre a dy Mi n i s t er of Marine, has taken the office of P res id en t o f th e C ounc il ; M. Melas, Minister of Justice , has taken, ad interim, the port , folio of Ecclesiastical Affairs ; M. Drosses Mensolas, Minister of Finance, has taken the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, and that of the King's Household. It is, therefore, still the Mi- , nistry of the Revolution of September which administers the affairs of Greece ; and Colonel Kalergi, who was then at the head of the garrison, also preserves his functions, and has known how to maintain that order, which guarantees the in dependence of the deliberations of the National Assembly.. " The question of religion will no doubt give rise to serious difficulties, as Greece appears determined to have a national religion, and that the Sovereign shall be a member of the Greek Church. " This resolution, in our opinion, will bring about serious complications. The presumptive heirs to the throne, the Princes of Bavaria, are Catholics, and the 39th article of the Constitution is an act of exclusion pronounced against There fore, if the Bavarian Princes are put out of Court, a King them, and a virtual infraction of the treaty of 1832. must be looked for possessing the Oriental religion. Two eventualities may occur. A Greek may be chosen, but that internal jealousies may prevent—or a Prince belonging to a foreign nfarnily of the orthodox Church may be selected. In that case the Imperial Family of Russia would be called into action; but, on the. other hand, the Great Powers have stipulated that none of the three protecting Powers shall from their own families furnish a King to the Greek nation. "The representatives of France and England have protested againsithe new article of the Constitution, as in contravention of the treaty of 1832, and there is little doubt but that this question will call foir the intervention of at least two.. of the three protecting Powers."

The Act was meant only for fraudulent dealers, and not for honest men ; and it is a great hardship that shop keepers who are really guilty of no offence should be subjected to investigations which were intended only for egregious offenders. The Act of itself is good ; but, like most Acts of Parliament, is not carried oat in the way in which it was intended.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKENWELL-(THIS DAY.) William Turney, a painter, rather stylishly attired, was charged with violently assaulting Benjamin Greene, police constable 82 E. It appeared from the evidence that on the previous even ing the prisoner had picked a woman's pocket of half-•a crown, and ran out of the house where the offence was committed,-followed by the woman and several other per eons, crying " Stop thief." He was stopped by the officer in Hunter-street, Brunswick-square, between two and three o'clock this morning. The prisoner made a desperate effort to escape, but finding it fruitless attacked the constable in a very savage manner, strove to knock him down, and kicked him in the side and on the hip. The officer shouted for assistance, and :pollee-constable E 117 came up, and with his help the ruffian was secured. At the station-house he used the most disgusting language, and it required the combined exertions of four officers to restrain him from committing further violence. Mr. COMBE sentenced the prisoner to sever days' impri sonment, without the power of releasing himself by the pay ment of fine. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Frederick Johnson, a young man very fashionably-dressed, and who was described on the Police charge-sheet as residing at No. 5. Ely-place, Holborn, law student, was charged with committing five different assaults of an aggravated nature, for which penalties were imposed, amounting altogether to 181. It appeared that between eleven and twelve o'clock last night, the prisoner, in a state of extreme intoxication, vio lently assaulted a respectable tradesman, named Brockling, as he was passing along New Bond-street. Not the slight est provocation was given by the complainant, and the prisoner would have further ill-treated him, but that police-constable, No. 106 of the C division, came Up and took the prisoner into custody. He then violenty assaulted the constable by striking him, unawares, a tremen dous blow on the right eye, and afterwards on the forehead; and he aiso kicked him on the leg so violently that a serious wound was caused, which will prevent the constable from going on duty for several days. After that he assaulted po lice-constables Nos. 38;22, and 58, kicking them in the groin and abdomen ; and, finally, his conduct became so outrageous that it was foUnd necessary to strap him down on the police stretcher and carry him to the station-house. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he was extremely sorry for what had occurred, and it pained him very much to think that he had so misconducted himself ; he should not have done so, but that lie had taken more wine than he was accustomed to. • Mr. MALTBY then apportioned the penalties as follows : For the assault on Mr. Brockling, 2/., or twenty-one days' imprisonment ; for that on the constable, No. 106, 51., or two months' imprisonment ; on No. 38, 5/.,:0r six weeks' im prisonment ; No. 22, 4/., or one month ; and No. 58, 21., or twenty-one days.—The fines were instantly paid.

The following communication, announcing the death of the King of SWEDEN, has just been received:— " HAMBURGII (via Hull), MARCH 16. " A bulletin was affixed on 'Change to-day, announc ing the arrival of an express from Stockholm, with the intelligence that his Majesty CHARLES JOHN had ceased to exist. He died on the Bth inst., at four o'clock in the morning. His son and heir assumed forthwith the Royal authority, under the style of OSCAR the SECOND ; and announced his intention of continuing the govern ment of Sweden and Norway in the footsteps of his late father. The most perfect order existed up to the period of the departure of the express, nor was the slightest interruption to public tranquillity expected. The intel ligence of the event caused no sensation in Hamburgh, where it had been already looked for by post daily for some time past." Another of the distinguished soldiers of the Revo lution and the Empire has just passed away from earth. BERNADOTTE is dead—the only one of the roy alties of NAPOLEON'S creation who survived the crash of the Imperial dynasty. It may be remem bered that it was chieflyby BUONAPARTE'S influence— exerted most unwillingly, if we may believe Bon- RlENNE—that this illustrious soldier of fortune was made Crown Prince of Sweden ; and his own politic and sagacious conduct, during the campaign of 1814, enabled him afterwards to grasp the Swedish sceptre. BERNADOTTE was originally, we believe, like MURAT, the son of a French inn-keeper, and on the breaking out of the Revolution in 1789 he held a sergeant's com mission in the Guards. Being a man of an ambitious, enterprising character, he, of course, joined the pa triotic party—distinguished himself in many of the campaigns on the frontier—and, on the memor able Eighteenth of Brumaire, when NAPOLEON up set the corrupt, worn-out Directory, and es tablished the Consulate, he was specially applied to by that triumphant soldier, who was anxious to secure his co-operation. But BERNADOTTE, who had a great respect for the laws, and was unwilling to have them set aside by military power, and who was, moreover, doubtful of the result, refused to mix himself up with the movement; and it is well known that if the Ancients, or the Council of Five Hundred, had ordered him to arrest the intriguing NAPOLEON, he would have done so without hesitation. No order; however, of the sort was issued, and in the mean time the great chief of the conspiracy had obtained from him a promise that he would not interfere of his own accord—a promise which was scrupulously, though somewhat reluctantly, fulfilled. During the Consulate, BERNADOTTE was actively engaged in the campaigns of that period ; and on the establishment of the Empire was created a Marshal, and soon after wards Prince of PONTE Convo, the name,of a petty Italian principality, where he had greatly distin guished himself in action. He served the EMPEROR faithfully during the famous Austrian campaign, when he commanded a Saxon division of the army ; but having issued a somewhat inflated bulletin after the victory of Wagram, in which he ascribed the day's; suc cess in a great degree to the skill and valour of his own troops, NAPOLEON took umbrage, and issued a counter-bulletin, which reflected severely on BERNA DOTTE, who shortly after returned to Paris, and lived in comparative retirement, until his elevation to the dignity of Crown Prince of Sweden. When the disasters in Russia took place, and the finest army that the world had ever known was deitroyed root and branch, less, however, by the troops of ALEX ANDER than the avenging elements of Heaven, BER NADOTTE, after a brief season of irresolution, joined the Allies, who were then just preparing to enter on that tremendous campaign, which, at the battle of Leipsic, destroyed for ever the fortunes of NAPOLEON. His movements, however, were at first tardy and re luctant, and were regarded by some of the Allied Powers not without distrust; but at Leipsic he came resolutely into action, and contributed not a little to the success of that bloody day. On the termination of the great European struggle, he re turned to his adopted country, to which, in conside ration of his services, the Allies had annexed Nor way ; and devoted his whole time—for, by all ac counts, he was a just and beneficent monarch—to the welfare of his subjects. Of all NAPOLEON'S Marshals, none maintained a higher character for justice, moderation, and humanity than BERNADOTTE. He was not a dashing, brilliant soldier—and nothing more—like MIIRAT, LANNES, OP NEY ; but was a skilful and wary strategist, endowed with great foresight, and as sagacious in his military conceptions, as he was resolute in the execution of them. Though the EM PEROR never liked him, for he was not sufficiently un scrupulous as a partisan to suit his views, yet he did justice to his worth, and placed confidence in his integrity. BERNADOTTE has been severely taken to task by the French memoir writers MAR YLEBONE 7 -(THIS DAY.) George Spink, a working whitesinith, was placed at the bar charged with having, on many occasions, annoyed the female domestics of No. 10, Montague-place, Montague-square, in a very indecent and disgusting manner. The offence was clearly proved, and the worthless scoundrel was committed for six weeks to the House of Correction. QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) Eliza Holloway, a young woman, apparently not more than twenty years of age, and whose eyes were red and swollen with. crying, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bond, charged with pawning a piece of carpet for 3s. 6d., the pro perty of the person in whose house she had lodged for five weeks, and to whom she gave the money, in payment of a week's rent then owing. This person stated that the defen dant was an unfortunate female, and that she was evidently in distress, which had no 'doubt induced her to pawn the carpet. • The defendant's mother, a decently dressed elderly female, here stepped forward. She said her daughter was a married woman, having been married five years ago. Her husband, who was in good employment, lett her three years ago. She supported her daughter as long as she was able, but could do so no longer ; but she would willingly redeem the piece of carpet, though it would take all the money she had. I have done all for my daughter that I could do. lam only a monthly nurse, and I have a daughter sorely afflicted, and a son solely dependent upon me for support. Mr. BOND said—What assistance is that you have given your daughter to allow her to walk the_ streets? The tie which binds another to her child does not terminate when she marries ; you have now an opportunity of saving your daughter from her unhappy fate, and you ought to take her home and endeavour to reclaim her from her present course of life. . _ . Mrs. Holloway said—Sometimes I have not a morsel to eat from day to day. I have been ill myself, and find it a hard matter to live. I really have done all I can for her. - I have applied to her parish but they will not assist her. Mr. BOND asked what parish the defendant's husband be longed to? Mrs. Holloway—Chelsea parish. Mr. BOND said he should discharge the defendant, and directed an officer to take her to Chelsea workhouse. The defendant said she would not go to a workhouse. - Mr. BOND said, that as she had refused the only means left by which she could be supported, and ultimately attain a situation, he had no alternative but to discharge her; but if brought up again charged with any other robbery, no mercy would be shown to her. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Sarah Rich was charged before Mr. Cottingham with as saulting Mary Welch, under the following aggravated cir cumstances parties had been in the company of a gentleman; who exhibited a good deal of expensive jewel lery on his person, and they were all drinking together at a public-house in the London-road. When they came out the defendant proposed to her companion to rob the gentleman of some of his jewellery, •a proposition which was rejected, upon which she was attacked by her assailant, who struck her in the face with great violence.—She was held to bail. A young woman named Mills was charged with inflicting a serious wound on the head of a young man named Twig, with a quart pewter pot. The complainant stated that, while taking some beer in front of the bar of a public-house, the defendant, who was there with others, took up a pewter pot, and struck him a blow on the head which cut it open. The defendant's account was that, while standing at the bar, the complainant pulled her petticoats over her head. Mr. Corriscaux said he could not punish the offender, who had received such strong provocation, and therefore dis charged her. LLOYDS SHIPPING.-(THIS_DAY.)

All the French Bishops are opposed to the Bill introduced by the Government relative to education. "The King," says the Univers, " has just received a memorial, signed by the Archbishop and Bishops of the province of Tours, on the liberty of instruction. The Archbishop of Tours, and the Bishops of Mans, Angers, Nantes, St. Brieuc, Vannes, Rennes, and Quimper unite their protests to those of the entire bench of Bishops." The Coastitutionnel has the following remarks relative to the refractory Bishops :—" The clergy of France place them selves in a strange position. They neither acknowledge the authority of the law, nor the decision of a jury, nor the power of the Government. They set a sad example of con tempt of justice itself, and destroy ai far as they are able to do so, the bends by which political society is ma►ntained." The Globe Mentions a report that there will be two camps formed in the approaching summer, one near Metz and the other near Bordeaux—and that the Duke de Nemours is to be Commander-in-Chief. A letter of the llth inst., in the Algerie, gives some account of the expedition under the Duke d'Aumale. The troops arrived on the 26th ult. within 16 kilometres of El-Kantara. They effected a razzia of 2,500 sheep and 80 horses on a tribe who had attacked the expedition. The French army at present amounts to 344,000 men, in cluding officers, and 83,416 horses. Of this total 284,000 men and 69,520 horses form the divisions in France, and 60,000 men and 13,416 horses in Algeria. From statistical returns, lately sent from Algiers, it ap pears that the European and native population of that city and its faubourgs, up to October 1, 1843, was thus composed : 20,089 Europeans, 17,858 Mussulmans, 5,758 Jews, 1,067 negroes, making in all 44,772 inhabitants. Of this population 19,760 were Roman Catholics, 275 Protestants, 18,704 Maho metans, and 6,033 Israelites. A letter from Jassy, without date, in the Berlin Gazette, says :—" Prince Stourdja hits set at liberty all the serfs of the convents, and the General Assembly of the States has given its approbation to this measure. The establishment of steam navigation on the Danube will augment the commercial rela tions between Moldavia and the countries on the shores of the Black Sea. The Russian Government proposes to esta blish a line of steam-packets between Galatz and Odessa, ex tending to Orsova, and will consequently take in Wallachia. It is even said that a Russian post will be established oppo site Braila, to accelerate the intercourse with Constantinople." The Universal Cassel Gazette contains a letter from fla nover, of the 11th, announcing that the Assembly of the States will be closed by the end of May, and that the King will immediately after repair to London. The States will only be busied with financial measures, and amongst the rest with the question of a loan of nine or ten millions of crowns for the construction of railroads. LAW AND POLICE. At Newcastle on Monday, the adjourned inquest on the body of Ann Sherwood, supposed to have been murdered by her husband, was resumed, and, after hearing further evi dence, the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder," against the prisoner, Mark Sherwood. He was fully com mitted to take his trial at the next assizes. _ _ John Jones and George Brazier, were convicted at the Surrey Sessions, of uttering counterfeit coin, and 'sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. Henry Humphries, a decent-looking mechanic, and who had been in the service of the prosecutor during the last seven years, was indicted' with feloniously stealing from the dwelling-house of William Herring, at Chertsey, in this county, on the 24th of February last, a diamond lattice win dow-frame, and a large quantity of ironmongery and various other articles, his property, and found guilty. • Alfred Hine, aged 22, also a workman in the employ of the same prosecutor, was charged with feloniously stealing, on the 24th of Februray last, a large quantity of bars of steel, and a number of articles of ironmongery, the property of William Herring, wholesale ironmonger, of Chertsey.—Ver dict, Guilty. The articles stolen were almost sufficient to stock an ironmonger's shop, and amounted in value to up wards of 2001.—Sentence was deferred: At Lambeth-street, Mr. Henry was occupied some hours in investigating a charge against four persons named Gram mer, Estell, Wedge, and Pritchard, of being concerned in burglariously breaking into the premises of Mr. Johnston, a cigar -manufacturer, in Charlotte-street, Commercial-road East, and stealing therefrom cigars to the amount of ninety guineas. The prisoners were again remanded. Charles Reynolds, a bricklayer, aged 27, and who has lived in good repute in Stepney, was charged before Mr. Broderip, at the Thames Police-office, with being a deserter from her Majesty's forces, and with breaking out of St. Alban's gaol, where he was confined• on a charge of felony, on the 29th of July, 1837. He said that the witnesses who appeared to identify him were mistaken in their man. Mr. Broderip directed that the prisoner should be sent back to St. Alban's.

The annual public meeting of the Union-street Auxiliary Missionary Society, was held last night, at Union-street Chapel, Southwark ; Joseph Dyer, Esq. (late of the Admi ralty, and one of the Directors of the parent Society), in the chair. It appeared from the Report of the proceedings at the close of the year, that the subscriptions during the past year amounted to 2111. Ils. 3d., being 11. more than the suns sub scribed the preceding year. EAST INDIA HOUSE--(TIIIS DAY The Quarterly General Court of the Company was held at the East India-house this morning. The chair was taken at twelve o'clock by J. Cotton, Esq., the Chairman of the Company. The minutes of the last meeting 'having been read, The CLERK proceeded to read the correspondence of the Court of Directors with the Board of Control, in reference to the pension of Captain Pattison, which was ended in the con firmation by the latter of the resolution of the Proqietors at the last Quarterly meeting. THE TEMPLE OF JUGGERNAUT. The CHAIRMAN said the first notice of motion was that .of Mr, Poynder on this subject. He was under the necessity of again stating that the information which had been called for had not yet been received. As soon as it was it would be communicated to the Court, and he would suggest that until then it could be of no use to enter into the discussion. The following were the words of the motion : " That the dispatch of Lord Auckland, of the 17th Novem ber, 1838, by which his Lordship rejected the proposed plan of the Bengal Government, and recommended the annual money payment of 6,0001. to the temple of Juggernaut (to which recommendation the Directors assented by their dis patch of the 2d June, 1840) be considered by the Court of Proprietors, on a motion for abrogating such money pay ment upon the ground of no original pledge or engagement having ever been given for the same by, or on behalf of, this Company, as erroneously alleged by Lord Auckland in his dispatch." Mr. POYNDER then withdrew the motion for the present, on the condition that it should remain on the paper until the next meeting. BUDDER ADAWLUT. Mr. LEWIS having given notice of his intention to call the attention of the Proprietors to the subject of appeals from the Courts of Sudder Adawlut, in India, to the Privy Council, with the vie* to the substitution of a less expensive, and as regards the law administered in the Native Courts, of a more efficient court of ultimate appeal, The Cnninma..N said that on the last occasion he had satisfied the Hon. Proprietor by giving - him an assurance that the subject was under the consideration of the Court of Directors. He begged now to state that the matter was occupying the serious attention of the Board of Control, who were in communication with the highest law officers of the Crown, with a view to axy change which might take place. Mr. LEWIS said that as a Bill was shortly to be introduced into Parliament, it would not be proper in him to bring on the discussion for the present. He wished it to be under stood, however,that his motion referred to the establishment of an ultimate ourt of Appeal in India, which would obviate the necessity, and save the expense, of an application to the Privy Council. After a short conversation, the motion was withdrawn. SINDE. Mr. SULLIVAN rose to propose the following resolution : " That there be laid before the Court of Proprietors Copies•of all ,Minutes of Proceedings of the Court of Direc tors, together with all opinions that may have been recorded by individual Directors on the affairs of Sinde." The Hon. Proprietor said it would not be necessary for him to say any thing in support of this motion. It was iso reasonable in itself that he did not anticipate any objection. He wished it to be seen how the annexation gf Sinde had been effected; and the papers were necessary to enable them to determine whether they shbuld leave Sindian affairs en tirely in the hands of the Executive, or take any step themselves. He was particularly anxious that the public should know, through that Court, how the Directors had dealt with this question. At present they were under the impression that they had acquiesced in the course pursued by the Government ; and this impression was strengthened by the fact that in the debate in the House of Commons on the moti•m of Lord Ashley, those Members who were connected with the Company, and who usually expressed their views on the questions connected with India, had taken no part whatever in the discussion— (Hear, hear)—as well as by the fact that, when the motion of thanks to Sir Charles Napier was discussed in the Court, though it was quite clear that the Directors were not unanimous in their opinion, only one vote was given against the motion. From the manner in which the Di rectors had dealt with the affairs of Sinde, the public would_ judge how they were likely to deal with the affair of Gwalior. The published vote of the Court of Directors would have irresistible weight, and he hoped, therefore, that his motion would not be rejected. The motion having been seconded, The.CaentmAzi said he could not accede to the Honourable Proprietor's proposition ; believing, as he did, that after the discussion which had taken place, the papers were unneces sary ' and that the granting of them could do no good. H e bad stated at the last meeting, that the subject was under the consideration of the Directors, and this being still the palace in which the question was placed, he thought the motion was altogether premature. fir; FIELDER opposed the motion, and said there was no precedent for it. Mr. WEEDING also opposed the motion. • Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE supported the motion, and re ferred to the caw of the Raja of Sattara as affording a pre cedent. After a desultory discussion the motion was postponed. lIILL COOLIES. Mr. Segeallt GAZELEE inquired of the Chairman whether there would be any objection to lay before the Court of Pro prietors any information which had been received by the Di rectors in reference to the Hill Coolies ?' The CYLUBMAN said that any papers'which were laid before Parliament, would, of course, be given to the Proprietors.; CALCUTTA. The Clerk read a petition from the inhabitants of Calcutta praying for an extension of civil offices to the native popula tion. The petition has already been published. GWALIOR. Mr. SuLuvwx wished to know whether the information with regard to Gwalior would include the orders. issued by Lord Cornwallis and Lord Hastings. The CHAIRMAN said, that if there was any defic ienc y in the papers laid befre the Court, notice of motion must be given for the product o ion of additional information. The Court then adjourned.
