?A.iNtton SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROT2 THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. GLOJ:JR,lnstinctively shrinking from the dkeufsion of Mr., Ross' s motion on Mr. O'llriscull's Fe-appoint ment, to the Irish magtstracy, the favourable moment for shirking the question was seized while Mr. Hume rims speaking. A number of the Opposition Members had left the Howe.. The well-known signal was given. The well-trained hacks of Government, who walk in and walk out of the House as they receive the cue from their trainers, bolted out. The Speaker's attention was directed to the fact that there were not forty Members present. The mace was taken from the table ; the Speaker left the chair ; and the Rouse adjourned ,at. a quarter before eight. The ruse will not, however, effect its object. The sub ject of Mr. O'Driscoll's restoration .to the commission 'of the peace in Ireland, involves considerations too :important, in the present excited state of public feeling in that country,. to be allowed to pass away without a _searching inquiry into the facts of the case. It must be seen whether even the disposition which the House of Commons has shown to treat with indifference the high-handed policy of Ministers, in everything which pertains 'to Ireland, will induce it to =sustain them in the monstrous perversion of the prerogative in favour of a political partisan. The cir cumstance of a single re-appointment to the magistracy, .in the person of Mr. O'Driscoll, whose delinquencies had induced the Lord Chancellor to remove I n to from the commission, may not be, in itself, a matter of mo ment.; but it becomes of importance when regarded as an indication of the spirit in which the Government deals with the magistracy ; the character of which, in the sister country, requires to be raised, and not lowered, to render it respectable and efficient. The improved social stateof Ireland under the Whigs was, in a great degree, at tributable to the care with which the executive in that country preserved the commission from the introduction of unworthy individuals. The present Ministers seem dis posed to undo all that their predecessors did to conciliate the people, and preserve the peace in that country. If 'they be not stopped in their career, the results may in duce unavailing regrets that they acre allowed to pro voke a nation whom sound policy would have taught them to propitiate. The first supply night will give Mr. Ross an opportunity of compelling the attention of Ministers and the House to his motion for the corre spondence in this shameful case, of which we trust ho will avail himself. STANDARD.—The claim of Sir Augustus D'Este to the dukedom of Sussex has been rejected by the House of Lords. This result was, we believe, very generally :anticipated from the first. The only question that could be raised in the case was this, has the Legislature the power of imposing a personal disqualification upon any «,f' the subjects of the Steve ? The analogy of all laws of all countrie s determines this question in the affirmative. No subject can, by change of place, divest himself of his title to the protection of the Oevernment of his native country ; or, on the other hand, relieve himself from his corresponding obligation to submit himself to the authority of its lawse—laws are therefore of personal as well as of local obligation ; and iris only by overlooking this truth, that any doubt could bare been admitted as to the invalidity of the marriage of the late Duke of Sussex with Lady Augusta Murray. A momentary error upon the point was not,: how cver, unnatural, for the general marriage law of this country having but a local sphere, it might be easily :at first inferred that every marriage law must be merely local. The policy of such aas the Royal Marriage .Act, is a different question from the rower of the Legis lature to enact it, and it is a question upon which, we freely con'ess it, our opinions are much less decided than they Ince were. The example of the numerous family of George the Third—Solll3 of them most unhappily married; settee never married, and the whole thirteen re presented at this day by filar of their children—this example was calculated to create a very strung impres sion against the law whi, h imposed such heavy ire;iniuti upon the mar.iages of the Royal Family. It was impossible not to reflect how different would have been the position of Georg! the Third. in his lat. years, if his numerous and flourishing offspring had been free to form unions with the nobility of Englund ; -and we still think that the interests of the Monarchy are .no consulted by the barrier raised between the ]loyal Family and an aristocracy, in antiquity of descent areldustre of birth certainly not inferior to the proudest :among the sovereign houses of Europe. On the other band, perhaps, the country gains something by the re gimes' of a temptation of no small amount of cabal, :which would be offered by the . possibility of a royal :alliance, while it is certain that an influence which might :make the monarch occasionally even too powerful, is obviated by the isolation ef. the Royal Family. Let ats take for example the ease of George the Third. .flat.} his numerous family intermarried with the most powerful families of the aristocracy, as doubt'ess it would have dune but for the law of which we are sp. ek ing; would he have been compelled, as often as he was s mpelled, to accept Ministers whom he disliked, and in whom he had not confidence ? We see the evil here, however, because George the Third was a good and :a wise man ; hut he tnight have been the reverse of both —he might have been such a man as his son and immediate successor, Who was neither good nor -wise ; and we vat hardly regret a deficiency of power in Georee the Third, which also operated as a restraint upon ' George.the Fourth. There is another considera tion, of less weight, indeed, but still deserving of avention. The family that has so happily filled the throne of this empire for 130 years—never more happily than in its present beloved representative— this family must be expected naturally to cherish a pre ferlice for sovereign alliances. The prejudice, if it m mit b so called, of the reigning mo narc h, wou ld a l ways S i._ cline to unite the members of the Royal Family with equals in rank rather than with subjects ' • but the ind Bence of this prejudice would some ti mes be encountered by the private inclinations of the prince or princess chiefly concerned, and thus would arise differences which must extend to jealousy between the monarch and the people, always ready to favour an honourable passion, certainly not less inclined to favour such a passion when a native of our own country is preferred by it to a stranger. This would bring the monarch into an attitude towards the people from which certainly good cenld not arise. Oa the whole, then, it must be plain that if the Marriage Act is an evil it is not an unmixed evil. At present we surely have no reason to complain of it; for, under no concurrence of circumstances could England have hoped for the blessing of a better Sove reign, or a Commit more worthy of that Sovereign. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchi , ster Guardian of this day.) There is not, much change in the market as compared 'with last week ; but, upon the whole, prices are firmer, and the appearance of business is somewhat more favour alb'. Yarns suitable fir Germany and Russia are in good demand, and some descriptions, particularly in water-twist, arc exceedingly • scarce, and advancing in pricie. Goods, with the exception of 40-inch shirtings, arc also in fair demand, and prices are very firm. ItocueaLE FLANNEL MARKET, .MONDAY, JULY B. demand for flannels, especially of the lower sorts, has been good. On the whole, it has been quite an avefage day for business. The wool market has been rather flit; the prices being too high to.remunerate the manufacturer. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) STATE OF THE NAVY. Sir C. NAPIER rose to put a question to the Gallant Officer opposite (Sir G. Cockburn), and he wa • extremely sorry that the First Lord of the Treasury was not in his place while he did so. During the tenure of offs .e by the late Government, the ships of the navy were inefficiently manned, and they were frequently complained of by the present Government as well as by himself awl brother officers. The present Board of Admi ralty, however, on coming into office, very pro rerly improved the state of the navy with respect to the manning of the ships, excepting with re , spnt to the guard ships which at present had only third rate crews. The question he had to ask was, whether it was true that the Albion had sailed with a reduced crew, and that the Caledonia and St. Vincent had . em barked 150 supernumerary marines instead of the same number of seamen. The Albion was an 84 gun ship, and he understood that shehad sailed with 750 men, the full complement being 850 men. Sir G. COCKBURN, who spoke in so low a tone of voice as to be scarcely audible, was understool to say that the Albion had sailed with her full complement of men, which was 750. Three-decked vessels of the second class had 850 men, but the third class only carried 750 men, and that was: the full complement for the Albion. With regard to the other question the Hon. and Gallant Officer was right. The complement for the guard-ships was 620 men each, but an occasion had arisen in which it was desirable that one of these ships should go out as quickly as possible, and it was arranged that she should take 750 seamen, and also 120 marines. The vessel alluded to was quite suited for the great ob ject for which she was sent out. She was quite equal to take her own part either with friend or foe. He was delighted to be able to state to the House and the country, that his orders for this vessel to sail arrived at Plymouth between one and two o'clock in the day, and the ship was on her course at an early hour the next morning.—(Cheers.) Sir C. NAPIER—Then, am I to understand that, in future, our ships are not to be manned by seamen, but by marines ? Sir G. COCKBURN—Certainly not ; but, in a case of emergency like this, where the supposition might arise in some people's minds that the lives of British subjects in Morocco might be in danger, he (Sir G. Cockburn) was glad to be able to do that in a moment which, if done otherwise, might have caused great delay in the sailing of the ship.—(Efear, hoar.) THE STATE TRIALS. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said he had a question to put in reference to the proceedings which had recently taken place in the House of Lords. The arguments upon the writ of error having closed, it was said that the Judges had left, or were about immediately to leave town. The question he had to put was, whether the Government had made any arrangement, in order that judgment might be given in - this case during the present session ? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he really could not see what Government had to do at all with making any arrangement upon the subject.—(Hear, hear.) There had been an argument of six days addressed to the House of Lords on the writs of error; and on which argument, by the way, the counsel for the plaintiffs in error occupied no less than five days, and counsel for the Crown only one.—(Hear.) As to the impression made upon the minds of the judges who were to decide upon the case, he (the Solicitor-General) could of course say nothing ; and he kuew just about as much as to the time when the final decision of that high tribunal would be delivered. IRISH LAND COMMISSION. Mr. S. CR,AWFORD wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of her MujeSty's Government if there was any expectation of a report from the IriSh Land Commission during the present session, and if so whether the House might look for any legislative mea sure founded upon it in the course of the next session of Parliament. Sir R. PEEL said he believed the Commissioners had determined not to make any partial report. Whenever they did report he (Sir It. Peel) should be prepared, without loss of time, to make t heir statements and; pinions the foundation for such legislative measures as might suggest themselves. Mr. PETER BORTHWICK comp'ained of the prac tice of counting out the House when measures of im portance were to be brought forward.—(A laugh.) He himself had hai measures of great importance—(A laugh)—and when he was about to bring them forward, the House was counted out. Mr. CRIPPS said that the Hon. Member for Mont • rose (Mr. Hume) was counted out last night at the wish of the Hon. Member for Evesham himself. Mr. BORTHWICK emphatically denied that he had ever been a party to "counting out." Mr. Sergeant MURPHY wished to ask whether the Bill ought to be read before counting out ? The SPEAKER'S answer was not heard in the laughter which the question occasioned. Mr. HUME said that he did not complain of the conduct of the other side of the House; for he thoug):t that he was deserted by his own side—(Cheers and laugter)—when a Bill to repress the stealing of dogs was before the House.there was no danger of a count out, but when a question of importance to the public was to come on the strongest party could count out. After some further conversation, the House proceeded to the other orders of the day. FIELD GARDENS BILL Mr..COWPER moved the second reading of this Bill. This 13d1 would confer great benefit on the poor man, and he therefore confidently recommended it to the 11,use. (LIFT SITTING ` ) BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF PRINCE ALEXANDER DE GONZAGA. (BY AN OLD DIPLOMATIST.) After the fall of Napoleon, the allied powers, delivered from an adversary whose name alone made them tremble, assembled at Vienna to regulate the future position of nations, or rather to appropriate to themselves the the immense territories that the chances of war had thrown into their bands, and to sweep away, as far as possible, the very vestiges of the vast empire that had just fallen. Here began a series of injustices which it would take too much space to enumerate, but which may briefly be described as a wholesale sacrifice of the feeble to the strong, a breaking down of the affections and sympathies of the people of different nations— hatred to France being the sole principle of action. . Among the innumerable victims of this iniquitous as sociation, which assumed to itself,the bouncing appella tion of the Holy Alliance, was the Prince Alexander de Gonzaga, Prince of the Roman Empire and of Castiglione (delle Stiviere), &c. &c. &c. The family to which he be longs Is of Italian origin. Its first chief was Hugo; son of Lothario, king of Lombardy, and great-grandson of the emperor Lothario, who was himself the grandson of Charlemagne. Prince Hugo married a Princess of Lom bardy, named Gonzingina or Gonzaghi, from whence comes the name of Gonzaga a dopt e d by the descendants of Hugo. Gerhard, one of the sons of Hugo, was the first to assume the title of L or d o f G onzaga , an d he obtained investiture as vassal direct of the empire. His son Louis, who died in 1046, was one of the most remarkable men of that time. Another Louis, eighth in descent from Hugo, was one of the greatest lords of all Italy. Se conded by the indomitable bravery of his son, he se cured to his descendants all the lordship of Mantua conquered from the Benacorsi, his deadly enemies. In 1325 he was recognised sovereign of this territory by the Emperor Charles IV., who at the same time nominated him Viceroy of the Romans. His government is repre sented to have - been merciful and able. Louis IL, his grandson, distinguished himself greatly in the wars of the Holy Land, and was fortunate enough to .secere the friendship of the Emperor Venceslas. Francis'lt, celebrated for his military and diplomatic talents, was elevated to high honours by the Pope Jean XXIL, and entrusted with the command of his troops. The son and successor of this distinguished HOUSE OF COMMON mate Louis HI., commanded the armies of Florence, - S. Venice and Milan.

In 1841, at London, he espoused Maria Elise, daugh ter of the celebrated Colonel Coke, of the family of the Earls of Leicester, and allied to the Dukes of Athol. After this event, he sent a protestation to the Prince Metternich relative to the principality of Castiglione, Ike., making reserves with respect to the Duchy of Guns talla. incorporated in that of Parma, erected into an apanage for Maria Louisa, widow of the Emperor Napoleon. In 1843 the Vicomte de Verney declared, in a publica? tion, that the pretensions of the Prince were founded in law and reason. IMPEMAL PARLIAMENT. • • HOUSE OF LORDS, July 9. The Bishop of NORWICH presented petitions, from places in-Suffolk, against the Dissenters Chapels Bill. The Earl of RODEN presented petitions from Ireland to the same effect. He heartily Agreed in the senti ments expressed by the petitioners. The Bishop of EXETER presented similar petitions froth various Baptists acid dther Dissenting congrega tions. He could not help remarking, that the measure, as returned to their Lordships, amended by the othtsr House, was the most stultified in all its details that he had ever read. The deed stated that the worship of Almighty God should be celebrated in those chape!s by Presbyterian Dissenters, and yet a Right Hon. Gentle man in another place had stated that this wits Vague. Lord KINNAIRD wished to know whether the Hight Rev. Prelate was in order in entering upon a discussion of the whole question, and in quoting Speeches made by gentlemen in another place. The BishOp of EXETER said he had a perfect right when presenting a petition to give his views upon the subject-matter of that petition before it was laid upon the table. He had, however, stated the opinions he entertained on the subject, and would now lay the petition on the table. The Irish Marriages Bill was read a first time. DIVISION OF PARISHES (SCOTLAND) BILL. The -Duke of HAMILT9*--prayed their Lordships to grant him their patience;::while' he made a few re marks upon the present Bill. He had not been able to attend on any former occasion when this Bill came before .their Lordships. The Noble Duke proceeded to expa tiate upon the effect ehich the Bill would have in the country parishes of Scotland. Lord WIIARNCLIFFE said that discussion was un necessary, as the Bill was already passed. BANK CHARTER BILL. In the same year, the Prince addressed a vigorous protestation to all the kings, princes, and potentates of Europe. In this important document he protested so lemnly against the injustice done him by the ministers of Austria. his attempts to obtain justice, however, have hitherto been unsuccesful, but his courage increases as trials augment. lle opposes the calm of his conscience, and his duty to the storms of political life, which he has not created, but which he accepts with a determina:ion worthy of his noble race. He may succumb, perhaps ; but he will succumb with the conviction that he has not degraded his august home, nor failed in his holy mission of re-establishing the rights of his fathers. - - AN ENTHUSIASTIC NATURALIST Lord WHARNCLIFFE moved the second reading of the Bank Charter Bill. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday, • One of my first movements in Nashville was a walk to the college to see Profesior. Troot, who is a great enthusiast in geology. It is to be mentioned to the honour of the state of Tennessee, that it has been one of the first American States to patron!a3 science, by al lowing him five hundred dollars a year as geologist to the State, in addition to his appointment at the college as Professor of Chemistry and Natural History, to which a salary of one thousand dollars a year is at tached ; so that the worthy professor is thus enabled to enjoy all the comforts of life and to make himself perfectly happy as the distributor of these sums ; for, like all philosophic enthusiasts, he places no value on money, and willingly gives any of the country people twenty dollars to bring him a live rattlesnake, or anything ne vir or curious in natural history. Every thing of the serpent kind he has a particular fancy for, and has always a number of them—that he has tamed—in his pockets or under his waist coat. To 101 l back in his rocking-chair, to talk about geology, and pat the head of a largo snake, when twining itself about his neck, is to him, supreme felicity. Every year in the vacation he makes an excursion to the hills • and I was told that, upon one of these occasions, being taken up by the stage-coach, which had several Members of Congress in it going to Washington, the learned doctor took his seat on the top with a large basket, the lid of which was not over and above well secured. Near to this basket sat a baptist preacher on his way to a great public immersion. His reverence, awakening from a reverie he had fallen into, beheld, to his unutterable horror, two rattle snakes raise their fearful heads, and immediately precipitated himself upon the driver, who, almost knocked off his seat, no Sooner became apprised of the character of his ophidian outside passengers than he jumped upon the ground with the reins in his hands, and was followed instanter by the preacher. The insides, as soon as they learned what was going on, immediately became outsides, and no noboly was left but the doctor and his rattlesnakes on the top. But the doctor, not entering into the general alarm quietly placed his great coat over the basket, and tied it down with his handkerchief, which, when he had done, he said, " Gentlemen, only don't let dean poor dings pite you, and dey won't ho9rt you."—Featherstonhaugh's Excursions through the Slace Slates. BROTHELS SUPPRESSION BILL. The Bishop of EXETER Moved the order of the day for the third reading of the Brothels Suppression Bill. Lord FOLEY moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be read that day six months, :on the ground that there was no suffic'ent evidence of the evil. Lord GALLOWAY thought the Bill was presented in such a shape to the House, that. they could not, if they wished to put down a vast amount .of misery and crime, hesitate to give the Bill their utmost support. He felt that, in the whole catalogue of crime, there was none which more loudly called for the interposition of the Legislature than this. Lord MINTO thought that it was a paramount and incumbent duty upon her Majesty's Government to lay before the House the best and most authentic informa tion on this subject. He wished to know from the Noble Duke whether it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce a measure for the same pur pose as that of the Right Rev. Prelate's ? The Duke of WELLINGTON said that, in reply to the question of the Noble Earl, he had to inform him that her Majesty's Government bad informed themselves upon the subject before the }Rinse, and he should wish, in order to give time for further inquiry, and for the introduction of a measure under the auspices of her Majesty's Government, that the Right Rev. Prelate would not press the third reading of his Bill. The Bishop of EXETER said that, suder suck circum stances, he would not press his measure. Lord IkIOUNTCASHEL, after alluding to the miseries induced by the houses which the Right Rev. Prelate's Bill was intended to suppress, said that he would, session after session, bring this matter before them. The Bill was after some discussion, withdrawn. Their Lordships then adjourned. tifid tliab flld dre fitted on by ,their representations . If lam ; I not satisfied the claims are jail, elll leilitt them. On this principle, whether 1 was in the Goveriiiiiellt ttf mit of it, I have equally resisted the payment of these claims, and whatever opinions I may have before entertained, perhaps with little effect in another quarter of the House, I am bound by my duty in the office I have the honour to hold, to resist the Motion on the present occasion. The Hon. Member who opened the debate told as tritly that this House is not a satis factory tribunal, before which to try questions' of a reettnistry , nature. I agree with the Hon. Gentleman. It is not the fattlt of the Government, which has given every consideration to these claims; ttiq tette been duly submitted to the leeal authorities to ascertain what is the trth eenstruction of the law, as applicable to the case put before them, and the ttniferm opinion of the case, as submitted to the legal authorities com petent to investigate and decide on questions of this nature, has always been this—that under the ordinary usages of ear, as established between civilized nations, they cannot be acceded to If eon accede to it you open a door nut merely to the payment of those 225,0001., but to all payments of a similar kind in all future wars. It is the constant practice of war, that ships taken at sea are considered in a different light from ships seized in harbour and property taken on land, for when taken in harbour they are ceempt from confiscation ; but it •is not so at sea. I am not here to argue that this distinction is just, but I am here to argue that if it be unjust in the case of the Danish war, it is unjust in the case of every war in which this country has been engaged. The Hon. Gentleman who made ths motion commenced his speech by stating that many Members had changed their opi nions upon this question. It may be so, and lain not surprised at it, for in the first instance the generality of persons do not consider the distinction made between the various classes of claimants—between those who lost property in book debts— those whose property was taken on shore in the Danish States, and those whose property was captured at sea. But when persons saw the course of proceed ings in that House, and how differently the law of nations applied to the different Classes of property, they, as was natural and just, reviewed the judgment they formed, and came to a different decision on the subject. But, in addition to those who changed their opinion, the Hon. Gentleman thought he could make out a case against some gentleman who did not oppose them on former occasions, but who are now prepared to oppose them, and he says that the Right Hon. Gentleman the First Lord of the Treasury, gave an expectation to those claimants that he would consent to their claims, because upan a discussion on the subject, after Mr. Cresswell's speech, he was observed by a gentleman to turn round and make an ob servation to Mr. Cresswell, and then walk out without giving a vote in his favour. And this is the ground on which he says he is justified in en'ertaining a favourable decision. It has been said that there was no declaration of war when this oapsure took place, and there being no declaration of war, that the :parties were entitled to have a different rule applied to them from that which would be applied in ordinary cases. Now to that proposition I give a distinct and positive denial, as strong as it is possible to give. At the time when this capture was made, on the 16th of August, 1807, war was ad mitted to exist between England and Denmark ; and that fact has been disputed only by , those who wish to make the non declaration of war a ground for demanding that this payment should be improperly made. The Hose Gentleman has re fereed to the Danish pteelamation of the idth of August, 1807, Now I will read some of ,that proclamation.--( The Right' Hon. Gentleman then k`;ad the proclamation, which was to the effect that the English Ambassador (Jackson) declared that hostilities between England and Denmark had commenced, and demanded passports tend safe conduct for himself and suite.) Therefore the war might be considered as actually begun. The Hon. Gentleman has • also adverted to the proclamation, which was published at Copenhagen, bearing the same date, the 16th of August. Mott, that proclamation could lead to no other inference than that it ode i declaration of war.

For several years deep play went on at all these clubs —fluctuating both as to locality and amount—till by de grecs it began to flag. It was at a low ebb when Mr. Crockford came to. London, and laid the foundation e t the most colossal fortune that was ever made by play. He began by takino• e , Wader's old club-house, in part nership 'with a man named Taylor. They set up a hazard-bank, and 'won a great deal of money, but quar relled and separated at the end of the first year. Taylor continued where he was, bad a bad year, and broke. Crockford removed to St. James's-street, had a good year, and immediately set about building the magnificent club-house which bears his name. It rose like a crea tion of Aladdin's lamp ; and the genii themselves could hardly have surpassed the beauty of the internal decora tions, or furnished a more accomplished maitre d'hotc than - Ude. To make the company as select as possible, the establishment was regularly organised as a club, and the election of members vested in a committee. " Crockford's" became the rage, and the votaries of fa shion, whether they liked play or not, hastened to enrol themselves. The Duke of Wellington was an original member, though (unlike Blucher, who repeatedly lost everything he had at play) the Great Captain was never, known to play deep at any game but war or politics Card-tables were regularly placed, and whist was played occasionally ; but- the aim, end, and final cause of the whole was the hazard-bank, at which the proprietor took his nightly stand, prepared for all comers. There was a recognised EMU, at which (after losing a certain sum) he might declare the bank broke for the night ; but he knew his, business too well to stop. _ _ The speculation, it is hardly necessary to add, was eminently .successful. During several years, every thing that anybody had to lose and cared to risk was swallowed up. Le Wellington des Joueurs lost 23,000/. at a sitting, beginning at twelve at night, and ending, at seven the following evening. He and three other noble men could not have lost less, sooner or later, than a hundred thousand pounds a piece. Others lost in pro portion (or out of proportion) to their means ; but we leave it to less occupied moralist, and better calculators, to say how many ruined families went to make Mr. Crockford a millionare—for a millionaire he was and is, in the English sense of the term, after making the largest possible alloWance for bad debts. A vast sum, perhaps half a million; is due to him ; but as he won all his debtors were able to raise, and easy credit was the.most fatal of his lures, we cannot make up our minds to con dole with him on that amount, frightful though it b e . He retired, three or four years ago, much as an Indian chief retires from a hunting country when there is not game enough left for his tribe, and the club is said to be now tottering to its fall. —Edinburgh Review. STATE OF SYDNEY. A geqtleman in Brighton has lately received a letter from the above town, giving a melancholy description of the state of the colony. The following extracts will be read with interest . "Sydney, January 15, 1844. . ,'?lf you were to witness the alteration thais taken plaie in the circumstances of the inhabitants of this colOny since the short. time back of my arrival, you would be thankful that you were yet in Old England ; many, almost starving now, were then in affluence, and would be glad to get home again, but have not the means of paying their passage, for they. cannot get any em. ployment here, as, in most of the warehouses and offices still in existence, clerks, &c., are being reduced to the lowest number, and the masters, instead of lolling in their carriages and giving grand entertainments, are at their own de,sks, and trotting upon a horse's back, or on their own feet to their homes, divested of the supernumerary domestics, who once behaved as if they honoured their employers by condescending to eat, drink, and waste what the house afforded. In consequence of the number of insolvent estates, the tradespeople are afraid to give credit ; they are all advertising goods at ruinously low prices, butfor cash, no more credit. I have bought -sundry articles lately, whieh I ant eertain I could not have obtained in England for two or three times the. price.

ESCAPE OF A LUNATlC.—Yesterday information was conveyed to the metropolitan police of the escape of a lunatic patient from thg Asylum of High Beach, Essex, of whom some curious 'particulars are given. His name is' Francis John Smith, twenty-eight years of age, and he is • very respectably connected. He is about five feet six inches in height, of a slender form, stoops a little, dark hair and eyes, and of a pale and sallow complexion. He contrived to elude the vigilance of his keeper on Saturday morning, at which time he was attired in a dress black coat, vest of the same colour, and brown or grey trousers, and blue cloak. His hat was an old one, brown and broken. The lunatic is la bouring under a poetical delusion. He fancies himself a great poet, and. up to the time he left Dr. Allen's asylum he was engaged in the composition 9f a monaty on the death of the poet CaMpbell. He also talks of being destined to deliver I tde Polish nation from" Russian tyranny."_, 10, 1644. directly opposite to what they were when not holding office, I Just let the House reflect for a moment on what those claims iVlly Are—the claims of shipowners whose property was on the h?gh t'easi and which was committed defenceless to them on the faith that it VVottid not be interfered with no exposed to hostilities. I mast siiy that the refusal of compensatisin for , such a seizure is most unjust tom, contrary to justice and ' equity ; and I further say that to refuse such compensation is false economy, and discreditable to this country. The grounds upon which this appeal is made have been so well stated by my Bent Friend behind me, that I will not intrude on the time and atteldind of the House. It is said we have no legal right—well, we don't rni,e it—we don't appeal to courts of law, and make our attplitsalion on grounds of equity and justice. We say this is no common dial, btst a very special one, the parallel for which the history of this country does not furnish. On these grounds, and wishing to keep faith With this House, I earnestly hope the House will do justice to these ihitish merchants and British shipowners who have been so unjustly plundered The decision of this House has bean reversed, but I hope British honour and British justice will be relieved by the decision of the night from the foul blot which the refusal of these just de mands has hitherto cast upon it. Colonel SIBTIIOIIP—I always felt it my duty to attend in the House on these important occasions, and to record my vote in favour of justice, for I consider the claims of these individuals founded on justice, and, whatever the Chancellor of the Exchequer may say on this sub • ject—whatever obloquy may be imposed upon me— tor the course I have taken, and will take ; I will never shrink from the fearless and manly avowal of my opinion, whatever views a Minister may entertain. The House has already de cided by a majority in favour of these claims. I hope the lion. Member will persevere, and that he will divide the House upon it, and I hope the measure will be forced upon the attention of Parliament until they are conceded—Gut/a cavort lapidem, non vi, sed saepe cadendo ; and further hope that the paltry consideration of 250,00V1. will not deter the Chan cellor of the Exchequer from discharging such a debt of ho nour. I am sure the British public would be glad if these claims were equitably arranged—they are the claims of their fellow-creatures and of their fellow-subjects. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer talks of law— that the law is against these claims. Law, Sir, law ! Why, I know we all know how often law and justice are alike perverted by the subtlety and the acuteness of lawyers, but that is no ground fur us to overthrow a claim which is clearly founded in equity.—( Hear, hear.) Then, Sir, that Right Hon. Gentle man talked of a declaration of war, and we all know what that is to go for. The point, the proper point, and the only point, for this House now to look at, is this, and 1 shall put it to you. I ask, did, or did not, the merchants of England go to the Admiralty, and ask in that, the legitimate and proper quarter, whether their vessels might sail,—and what was the answer? The answer of the Admiralty was this:—" They may proceed with the greatest safety."—( Cheers. ) Under the sanction of the Admiralty, then—the first quarter to apply to —these merchants went forth with their ships and their car goes. Instead of the Government warning them from going, they advised them to go. How could they presume to recom mend merchants to go forth, and then, forsooth, deny the lia bility of which they were the cause? Such conduct, I say, shows a want of generosity—yes, and I must add, a want of feeling too.—( Loud ores of " Hear, hear.") Therefore, I assert 'it is the duty of the Government frankly, freely, and fairly to acknowledge these claims—to see them rightfully ar ranged.—( Hear, hear.) The Right I-lon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer also says there is a wide difference be tween the former clays of claimants and the present. It mat tered not one whit about classes. They all went forth on the faith and under the sanction of the Government, and that faith ought to have been held inviolate.—( Hear, hear.) I will not trespass longer on the attention of the House.—( An Hon Member near the Gallant Colonel said " Hear, hear," in a peculiar tone) I do not .vish, and I never do wish to trespass upon the patience of the House, but I shall stay as long on my legs as I consider right for the discharge of a duty I hold to be a solemn one.—("Query," by the Honourable Member.) Duty, Sir, before pleasure. —( Laughter and cries of " Hear, hear.") 1 have often before supported these claims. I have never changed in respect to them, and I never will, so long as I have the power of judging between right and wrong. —( Hear, hear.) I most cordially support the motion of the Hon. Member for Weymouth, and I ask him to persevere in his motion, on all occasions, year after year, till fair dealing and equity prey: it. Let us proceed with energy and determi ,,,,:tion, and depend upon it, before very long, we shall have the ple;i :nre of seeing the Right Hun. Chancellor of the Exchequer kno..::ls under to us.--(A laugh and cheers. ) Sir C. NAPIEtt- - I am quite delighted to have heard the Right lion. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer de clare that the taking of Cope.:hagen was in itself a sufficient declaration of war. On the first atts:ckon Canton I find that the army and navy, who had one years additional batta for that attack, and who carried on a series of bi2lllant operations after that, under the command of Sir W. Parker, and received the thanks of Parliament for their services, who we, e sent up rivers, with orders to detain vessels, and who did detain Vessels and ransom them in the most piratical manner, having receivssl orders so to ransom them.-1 find, Sir, that after the lapse of this time they were compelled to give these vessels up, and to give up the ransom money also, in order to enable the Chinese Government to pay the expense of the war to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who received that money, and the army and navy were deprived of the prize money which they were entitled to after the attack upon Canton, on the ground that war had not been declared. Now the Chaneellsr of the Ex chequer says that the attack on Copenhagen was a sufficient declaration of war in the Baltic, and I hope that he will act on the same rule in the case of Canton, and give those seamen and soldiers the prize money which they are entitled to; and if they are not paid it how can you expect that on a future occasion men will come forward and volunteer in the navy ? They will say, "No! The Chancellor of the Exchequer will say there is no declaration of war, and will deprive us of that prize-money which we have fairly earned." Sir R. PEEL—I do not belive, Sir, that the :navy will ever act upon the principles just enunciated by the Gallant Officer opposite. I believe, that whenever ordered on service, they will do their duty to their country without reference to any pe cuniary consideration. If that consists in performing such ope rations as were performed in China, they will not refuse to do it because the Chancellor of the Exchequer may determine they are not entitled to prize-money. Sir. C. NAPIER—I did not say the navy would refuse to do its duty. I said that if the navy were treated with regard to prize-money as they have been treated in China, you would not get volunteers to enter the service. Sir R. PEEL-1 hope the House will not be turned aside from the consideration of real question at issue, by any reference to the Chinese proceedings. The real question is, whether the House of Commons shall vote a sum of upwards of a quarter of a million on account of alleged captures upwards of 37 years since. The attention of the House has not been called on the present occasion so-much to the origin of these claims, as it has been on several previous occasions when they have been submitted to the House ; but an attempt has been made to refer to the votes of various Members of the House on former occasions, when these claims have been brought forward. Now it has been said that I retired from the House on a former occasion with out voting. When I was in opposition to the late Government, I uniformly gave them my support in resisting these claims. In 1841, when Mr. Cresswell brought forward his motion in favour of these claims, I was in opposition to the Government. Mr. Cresswell, .at that time was seated on the benches behind me. In 1841, I recorded my vote in favour of the course which the late Government took, directed by a sense of the duty in refusing these claims in opposition to that personal and private canvass of which I myself have had so many reasons to com plain. Now look at what has been said of the opinion of the Attorney-General. Why any one who heard the speech of the Hon. Member fur Lambeth, must have inferred that Sir W. Fol lett had given his opinion in Parliament in favour of these claims. The Hon. Member for Lambeth has referred to the opinion of the Attorney-General, and quoted him as an authority in fa vour of the Danish claims. But what was the Attorney-Ge neral's explanation ? It was given in 1840, in the presence of the lion. Member, and he would ask the House if it was fair to attempt to lead it to believe he was in favour of the claims. Sir William Follett said in 1840, " The Hon. Mem ber has pleased to refer to an opinion he had been alleged to have given with respect to these claims. An opinion of a lawyer depended entirely on the case put before him, but since the real facts of the case been before him he had never had the slightest doubt on the sub ject. A few years ago the matter was brought before the House of Commons by his Hon. Friend Mr. Cresswell, who asked him (the Solicitor-General) to support him ; but on hearing the facts of the case in that House, he was not satis fied that the claim had been made out, and he considered the Government was right in resisting it. And here (continued Sir R. Peel) was his Right Hon. and Learned Friend's vote recorded in the division list of that. year, directly in opposition to the motion. When, in opposition to the then Government, 14 could not have been under any undue influence, and yet, instead of voting with Mr. Cresswell, he voted against him, stating, that when he came to look at the case, he thought the Government was right in resisting it. Are we at liberty to discuss the justice and policy of the war with Den mark? If that is the ease, if we are at. liberty to discuss the justice and policy of the war, I know no limit that can be placed to such claims, I have never heard of a war the justice of which was admitted by all parties. The question is, was there war at the time ? This country believed that Denmark was about to deliver its fleet over to France. We then sent a naval force to clam from Denmark either a denial of that charge or the delivery of their fleet, as there was a secret article in the Treaty of Tilsit, by which Denmark bad stipu lated to deliver its fleet up to France. This country demanded the Danish fleet from the control of ' Bo naparte. On the 16th of August, 1807, Denmark declared . war ; on the 14th •of November following, this country declared war against Denmark, in these terms : " Whereas the King of Denmark has issued a declaration of r against his, Majesty, and his Majesty has ineffectually endeavoured to obtain a revision of that declaration against this country, his Majesty hereby declares war against the King of Denmark." Now, what' was the opinion of Sir W. Scott, the very highest authority, on the retro-active effect of a declaration 'of war? Many causes have been decided in the courts much more strong in equity than these claims. There was the case of the seizures 'at Demerara. The question was, whether it was a prize or not. It was a claim made by persons said to be British subjects, because the seizure was made before the declaration of war, but the decla ra• ion of war was subsequently made, and the opinion of Lord Stowell was, that the declaration of war had a retrospective effect, and that all property previously detained was liable to be considered the property of enemies taken in time of war, and that all seizures made became prizes. So in this case, I say there was a declaration of war previously to a great part of the seizures, namely, a declaration of war on the part of Denmark on the 16th of August, that there was a hostile fleet before Copenhagen, and a declaration of war on the part of Great Britain on the 4th of November, and that this declaration had a retro-active effect in the words of Lord Stowell. I say we are not at liberty to determine now whether there were sufficient motives to demand the surren der of the fleet, and the opinion of her Majesty's Government is, that those claims are not well-founded ; 'that to admit them would be to admit a dangerous precedent, and would revive other claims as strong . as these. And her Majesty's Govern merit, as guardians of the public purse, which is assaulted by so many claims, of which the House of Commons is not always the most effective protector, feel it to be - their duty, in per 111 - formance of the obligations they owe to the public, to take that course which they took when they were in opposition to the late Government, arid to offer every opposition to those claims which they did not believe to be founded in justice: Mr. MUNTZ—I will make a few observations on this mo tion, not that I have any interest in it, though I hid an in terest in the Spanish affair, which was not a very different case from the present. Both appeared to me to be unjust, whether the taking of the Spanish vessels or the taking of Copenhagen ; but that is not the question which we arc to ar gue. The question which we are to argue is whether the mer chants could take care of themselves, and whether they were not placed in a false position by the declaration of the Admi. raly. 1 must say, as a merchant, that we had a just dams upon the Government for compensation, and I think that in a question between the Government and individuals, the nation ought not to sacrifice an individual for so small an amount. I think that if one case could be justified,' this claim is equally justiciable —( Hear. ) After a few words frorri Mr. A. CIIAPMAN, wbo was un derstood to support the motion, strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House' divided : __ For the motion Against it Majority against the motion ...
