On themotion of Lord MONTEAGLE, certain returns relating to the sugar duties were ordered. The LORD CHANCELLOR then moved the second read ing M the Bail in Error Bill. Lord CAMPBELL said that he had himself introduced this very Bill last session, when it had been opposed by the Lord Chancellor, who now himself proposed it. After a few words from tit? Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Lord BROUGHAM, and Lord DEN MAN, the Bill was read a second time. The Earl of DAt.noustE presented returns from the Railway Department of the Board of Trade, and the House adjourt.ed The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr. W. B. BARING took the oaths and his seat for Thetford ; and Mr. C. TOWER took the oaths and his seat for the county of Bucks. After the prewntatiou of various petitions, 6ir T.' Far MANTLE said it was the intention of the Government, to introduce a measure on the subject of mixed marriages in Ireland. Mr. RoCHE, who had come all the way from Ireland for the purpose, was about to put a question to Mr. R OE BUCK on the subject of his statement that th e I r i s h Members had run away from their posts, when he was interrupted by the SPEAKER, who informed him that it was irregular to allude to a debate Is bleb had taken place during the present session. Mr. T. DuNcomßE then rose to direct the attention of the . liouse to the proceedings of the Post-office officials in opening his letters. At the time that he ha I pre sented.M. Mezusfs petiticn last year, he had no idea that his own letters had been opened, and it was only 410410 weeks afterwards that be bad leJrueci, through M. fiaszurt, that such had been the fact. He had brought down to the House several letters which had the appearance of having been " operated on," but their contents were not of a treasonable character; and if any treasonable letters had been directed to him they must have been kept back by Sir JAMES GRAHAM. He bad obtaiced his information by no tinderhasid or dishonour able means. He feared not inquiry, and let the odium of cowardice rest on those who refused it. He concluded by moving that Colonel MABERLY be ordered to attend at the bar of the House. Mr. D'lsHAEsi supported the motion. The warrant ought to be produced in order that its validity might be tried. Sir JAMES GRAHAM opposed the motion, but stated that no circumstance had come to his knowledge, in re lation to the Hon. Member for Finsbury, which cast any imputation on his character as a loyal subject of the QUEEN, or derogated from his dignity as a Member of that House. Lord HowlcK had hoped that the Government would have introduced some measure to guard against these abuses for the future. As they had not done so, he felt bound to support the motion. After a few words from Lord SANDON and Mr. WAR BURTON, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that, as the Right Hon. Ba ronet had distinctly declared that nothing had transpired to show that the Hon. Member for Finsbury had acted otherwise than ara loyal subject of her MAJESTY, and that nothing had come to his knowledge that affected his character as a Member of that House, he thought that the position of the question was materially altered. He was ready to take the declaration thus made. Had it not been made, he might have felt that, considering the circumstance that a high privilege of that House had in his opinion been violated, a further investigation was ne cessary. But he thought that that declaration made a material difference, and he now conceived that that in vestigation was now uncalled for. At the conclusion of Lord J. RussELL's speech the House became very impatient for a division, and Mr. M. MILNES, Mr. HUME, Mr. WATSON, Mr. AGLIONEY, and several other Hon. Members, spoke amidst much con fusion. Sir R. PEEL then rose and defended himself and his Government against the attacks of Mr. T. DuNcomnx and Mr. D ISRAELI. On a division, the motion was lost by a majority of 75, the numbers being—for the motion, 113 ; against it, 188. On the order of the day being read for the House re solving itself into a Committee of Ways and Means on the subject of the sugar duties, Mr. Hoc° brought forward his resolution for im • posing an equal duty upon East and West In Tian Sugar. After a lengthened discussion, the motion was with drawn. The House then resolved itself into Committee, the resolution was agreed to, and the report vas ordered to be brought up on Monday. The House adjourned at One o'clock. In the House of Lords, the debate of Thursday night last was productive of same passages of extraordinary in terest. Lord BEAUMONT addressed a few stringent questions to the Earl of ABERDEEN on a subject on which we have often bad occasion to appeal, not without senti ments of profound grief and indignation, to the sympa thies of our readers. We allude to the miiitary execu tions summarily inflicted on a handful of Italian re fugees, who, under same treacherous information or en couragement, and the influence of their own unaccount able infatuation, had made a rash and ill. concerted descent upon the coasts of Calabria, and a dis orderly march upon Cosenza, in June, 1843. It w ill be recollected, at among the victims who perished by decree of the " Commission," erected for the trial, as it was called, of tbese ill-fated martyrs to the cause of " Young Italy," were the two nobly descended brothers, BANDIERA, sons of the Admiral commanding the fleet of' the Emperor of AUSTRIA.. 'The untimely fate of these- distinguished young patriots—for such they were, if an enthusiastic and disinterested devotion to the country of their birth nnd connexions be of the essence of patriotism—did not fail to attract that degree of commiseration throughout Europe, and especially in this country, which its touch ing and mournful appeal to the most generous feelings of our nature was so wt 11 calculated to excite. How the gallant and accomplished brothers can have been induced to embark in an attempt so romantic as that of releasing by a demonstration of physical force some colleagues, who had been taken prisoners in the same political cause which they had espotsed, from the State Prisons of the Neapolitan or of the Austrian Go vernment, against the organized power of eithe: of those ancient and established monarchies, with means so utterly inferior to the boldness of their undertaking, and resuurees to fall back upon in case of failure, or even of temporary exigencies so falsely calculated, as those which they commanded, or those which titsy were induced to expect from the aid and concurrence of their southern compatriots ;—all this is to a great extent an unexplaii ed mystery, the key to which is buried in the grave of the unfortunate sufferers. M. MAZZINI (whose nainc has been so often brought up in recent Post office debates, as the " Magnus Apollo " of the move ment, and the destinies of Young Italy), has shown that so far from encouraging the design of the BANDIERAS, he used every means and all advice to dissuade them from carrying it into execution. But he' has adduced, without absolute proofs, or the very strongest presump tions, to establish the fact, that they were betrayed into the snare of concocting the exp , .dition to Calabria by pre tending colleagues in their schemes, who were, in fact, spies upon their counsels and actions, in the pay of the Government of Naples ; and a ho, at Corfu, had per suaded these refugees (after abandoning, in conformity with M. MAZZINI'S remonstrances, their original design of an attempt to effect a using within the States of the Church) to embark in a new scheme for effecting a landing, with the same purpose of bringing about a political reaction, in the Neapolitan dominions. The story of their disasters, their utter disappointment of all co- operation, their defeat, their dispersion, and the bar bare us judicial murder of their leaders, must be still fresh m ithin the memory of all English men. Now, certainly, in relation to the dis graceful precedents of this affair and its catastrophe which had happened in this country—to the case charged and established on behalf of MAZZINI, against the English Government, of habitually violating the seals and purloining the intelligence confided to the safe and honourable custody of its Post-office Depart ment ;—these transactions did assume a most suspicious appearance of a preconcerted kidnapping of brave, though, it may be, misguided men, into the toils set for their lives by a perfidious foreign Court, with the as sistance and complaisant turpitude of the British Go vernment. Lord BEAUMONT, therefore, had reason to assert, that if the truth of the facts which had gone abroad should be established, the " British Government had been conspirators in one of the foulest deeds of treachery that had ever been perpetrated by the most absolute and qrannic States." But we are bound to acknowledge —and we do so with unfeigned gratification (not having been slow to impute to the Noble Foreign Secretary a degree of cul pable complicity in lending himself to the sanguinary resentments of the Courts of Austria and Naples) —that the Earl of ABERDEEN, last night, completely vindicated himself, Lord SEATON, the Lord High Protector of the lonian Islands, and the GOvernor of ➢ialta, from every thing in the shape of preVious knowledge of, or subse quent participation in, aniof the measures which led to the concoction of the Calabrian expedition, the betrayal of the unhappy parties into the power of the Neapolitan Emissaries, the failure of the design, and the extermination of the BANDIERAS and their companions. On all these points we most frankly and cordially acquit Lord ABERDEEN, whose speech of Thursday night—pervaded as it was throughout by a tone of high moral feeling, ingenuous frankness, and humanity—was concluded by protestations, the impres sive earnestness and solemnity of which have Hot had many parallels in Ministerial addresses delivered within the walls of Parliament. The great moral lesson it has taught, however, is that to which we adverted in a recent paper—namely, that the dishonest tampering— the sham- less larceny-like practices of the Government to which Lord ABERDEEN belongs, with the sealed corre spondence passing through its Post office,—havo resulted, as all guilty means result, the specious pretext fur which is the attainment of a presumed good end. Evil beginnings have led to evil Conclusions. Let the wire drawn distinctions botween giving tip the suspected let ters themselves, and only communicating the sum of their pilfered contents, go for the utmost at which it can be put by those who rely Upon it—what then ? Certain it is. that what intelligence was communicated by England to Austria (with the the view even of diverting the latter Power from putting into execution her menace, that, in the alternative of our giving refuge and protec tion in our colonies to the Italian subjects proscribed by her Government, she would march troops into the Papal States, and take military possession of such posts as she might consider requisite guarantees for her own peace and safety) ; that information was reciprocated between the Courts of Austria ani Naples, and sealed the bloody doom of the young and brave BANDIERAS. We are very glad that Mr. BRIGHT has renewed the Parliamentary discussion of the Gaznw4aw3. Under Weyer aspects or relations these lays are viewed, they muss be considered an anomalous ezmscence upon any system of constitutional rights which leaves, as to 1 all actions in themselves morally indifferent, a large latitude to the discretion of every individual in the exercise of those rights and that liberty of action which are assured to him—expressly, or by im plication—by the general law under the protec• tion of which he lives. If nature left to him a species of inherent right over theferce natures—the wild fowl of the airand the unreclaimed beasts of the forest — the civil organization of most conditions of society, in their early beginnings, has aimed rather at fortifying and extending this right than at repressing it by arbi trary and exclusive limitations. The accidents of social inequality, in the first place produced by the creation of feudal and political distinctions, of more modern pro perty in lands and manors, subsequently acquired by the multiplication of capital and the channels of its distribution, have since operated with the usual effect of accumulated distinctions and wealth. They have displaced general rights in favour of the exclusive title. The most inveterate game-preserving squire of our days will hardly deny that there can be no greater moral &Engin ncy, in 1845, in Thomas SMITH or JOHN JONES—the one for his pleasure (as Mr. G BARTLEY BERKELEY would say), the other out of a landlord's conservative regard for his poultry—in coursing a hare and shooting a pheasant, or in trapping a fox, than was incurred by the best descended heirs of the Norman blood of the DE VERES, er the DE Bnaous, of the 12th and 13th centuries, in pur suing the roebuck, or flying their hanks at the heron (a. the partridge. But there are strange vicissitudes in legislation, as well as in all other human affairs. The most rooted prejudices of society, and of custom (which are stronger than those of society),. may be made, by a continuous series of encroachments and an unrelaxing exertion of exclusil e powers, not merely to give way to, but to assist in, the substitution of other pretensions in their stead. It was soon found when aDE VERx was firmly installed in the fee of hia broad lands in Ox fordshire, or when aDE BIGOD was well settled in his all-but regal demesnes in Norfolk and Suffolk, that actions, in other na:n, till then considered indiffer ent, and within the law, had assumed a sudden character of the most criminal offensiveness. Your DE VERES and DE BIGODS loudly protested to the obseqsious law makers and the intitnieated estates of the realm that, if the hind, PETER, or the yeoman, GODFREY, {VHS to be per mitted any longer to cat venison, or to kill mallards, the safety of the monarchy was irretrievably compr - raised ; and it was accordingly enacted, not by one di claratory statute, but by many Acts of many Parliaments, " byand with the consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal," that what was law as to any other species of property, in its nature not realisable, should nod be law with regard to game. From those times, through all the subsequent mutations of society, Government, and institutions, in this country the same singular distinction has prevailed in all legis lation in reference to game. It can only be possessed by men having certain landed estate or rights.. It can only be protected by a class of proprietors having a certain " stake,"-as it is called, in the soil. And what is more whiriisical still, the privilege of killing it is still mere strictly reserved ; more capriciously guarded ; more vexatiously, offensively, and vindictively, enforced, than the right to possess or the privilege to preserve it. Fora man, whose happy fortunes, patrimonial or acquired, have invested him with the peculiar rights and qualifica tions created bylaw, over animals that, beingferce natures, are, therefore, in terms witiout the pale of the law to exter minate, for his amusement either birds or beasts coming within this ca egory, is deemed the indication of a good country gentleman —a man of mark and character. For him who has no acquaintance with fortune, either inherited or acquired by himself, who rejoices in none of the favourable conditi=ns we allude to, but kills, sv:th uncertificated and unlicensed eye, haply for his own subsistence, haply for the support of his helpless children, a head or two of these animals over which he claims absolute dominion tinder the authority of sacred writ itself, in common with the noblest born and largest :landed proprietor in the kingdom— for such a man to do such an act suffices to put him to the ban of society ; to deprive him of his liberty ; to subject him to imprisonment ; and to brand him wi:h a felon's infamy. Mr. BRIGHT has done very well in so emphatically directing, as he has of late done, the atten tion of the public to the enormous number of convictions, fines, imprisonments, &c., which have taken place under the game-laws within a given period. But there are other unqualified persons, who are in a condition of worldly competency, and destroy game, not for their amusement nor yet for their subsistence, but on a fair, economic principle of self-defence against the ravages the game commit on their crops. To this agricultural aspect of the question, again, Mr. BRIGHT has power fully turns d the astonished notice of many incredulous, or heretofore uninformed, on such subjects. In the pre sent day we are inclined to think the days of these laws are pretty well numbered. Mr. BRIGHT, on Thursday, conducted the case with much skill and judgment. He has obtained one of the great objects of his solicitude, a Committee for full inquiry into the abuses of the game laws ; and we therefore confidently anticipate that he will be ultimately successful. In the meanwhile it is amusiny, to observe the per tenacity with which inveterate habits wilful) , close the eyes of some men to the most palpable abuses. Mr. GRANT LEY BERKELEY, we perceive, is not satisfied with the really forbearing generosity of the Press towards his pamphlet on the game-laws, from which we lately ex tracted—we trust with no want of fairness or good feel ing—a few exquisite mo-ceau fur the delectation of our readers. In that production the Hon. Pamphleteer seamed content simply to uphold the game-laws as a very useful integer of our entire tcheme of statute law. In the "Reply to the Press, or the Reviewers Reviewed," DOW before us, this author takes higher ground. He identifies the maintenance of this outrageous code with the upholding of the happiness and welfare of the poor. He deprecates its abrogation as ono of the most mischievous innovations which the fraudulent quackery of pseudo-politicians, popularity— hunting demagogues, and specious cheats, can attempt to palm upon the country. But he unfortunately is given to be very figurative ; and we hould surmise, if he as sisted at Lie EGLINTOIJN Tournament, that he has never since got over the excitement and associations of that spectacle. He will talk of himself as if he were a belted knight, riding at tourney, and notwithstanding occasional lucid moments, in which he "gabbles of green fields," the ring, and Bell's Life in London, still the pervading hallucination of his mind is, that he is in the "lists, strewn," as he says, "piecemeal with the vaunt piece and braces of his arm our." He runs a tilt at poor Mr. BRIGHT with the tremendous weapon of " buttonless arguments," which he constantly imputes to him, intending probably a severe reflection on the costume of • that gentleman, whose straight c Mar and malformation of coat-skirts appear to be equally heinous offences in his e) es. He talks of the liberty of the press being abused " under" the " sanctity of his situation as a reviewer." The sanctity of a reviewer is a new phase of literary charac ter, never discovered till detected by Mr. BERKELEY'S magnifying lenses. CHARLES DICKENS is furiously as sailed touching the " pro-poor" advocacy which per vades his " Chimes"—and we may add, all his other works. What he means by " surface seekers" we can not divine, but the phrase perpetually recurs throughout these pages. But there is so much fun to be had out of this " solemn fooling," that we must find another day another opportunity of noticing it. The question of Puseyism formed one of the subjects ' of discussion in the House of Lords on Thursday. It was introduced by Earl FORTESCUE, who, in his usual calm, dispassionate, and impartial manner, adverted to the commotion excited in the diocese of Exeter by the mis chievous pastoral letters aed ecclesiastical edicts of the Bishop. His Lordship justly said, " It is not a mere dispute about forms, and rites, and dresses, and decora tions; of a perfectly indifferent kind ; but about such as arc looked upon as the first steps towards the esta• blishment of principles and practices for the intro. duction of which their advocatts hope thereby to open, and their opponents. are resolved, if possi ble, to stop the way. The warfare is between Popish tendencies, clothing tLemselves wish the name of Ca tholic, on the one hand, and Protestant tendencies, aim ing to carry out the Reformation to its full extent, on the other." The Bishop of EXETER defended himself pre cisely in the way that might have been anticipated, and added little in his justification to what has already ap. peared h. his numerous epistles addressed both to clergy men and laymen. On referring to his speech every reader must be struck with the peculiar and offensive f ature in this prelate's character; he cannot make a speech or write a letter without giving offence, and claiming for himself power and authority, which all reasonable men hold to be inadmissable. He told the House, in substance, that out of courtesy he addressed them, but still he would not permit himself to ask their Lard ships to hear his defence. He was a spiritual Lord, and responsible only to the Church. Lord BROUGHAM, in a few words, laid down the law on this point, and he was loudly cheered by the House. He differed from the Bishop of EXETER. He held the " high and paramount authority of Parliament in all matters which could be the subject of discussion, and he utterly protested against the doctrine—against acting on the opinion—that there was anything, spiritual or temporal, from which the jurisdic tion of Parliament was excluded." The Bishop again protested, as he did in the recesses of his episcopal palace, that he did not know what caused all the noise and tumult, but in a manner still more offensive to the flock under his charge. He complimented the Noble Earl at the expense of the Pro testants of Devon. " I have a great advantage row,'' said he, " considering the description of persons I have lately been brought in contact with, in meeting so noble and generous an opponent. Perhaps the Noble Earl will tell what all this is about." The gravity of their Lordships was disturbed, and loud and general laughter was the answer. However, it is needless to advert further to his Lordship's speech. One' thing is clear. The rubrics are made a pretence for innova tion, and pretended obedience to obsol.ete and contra dictory canons is urged as a plea for changing the national religion. The brief remark of the Bishop of NORWICH spoke the truth. The rubrics cannot be obeyed. His words are : "The Right. Rev. Prelate had said. That as members of the Church they were under a stringent order to obey the rubrics or the Church. A stringent order to obey the rubrics ! why none of us do obey them—none of us ever have, because none of us ever can obey them." Accounts from Constantinople of the 7th inst state that Commissioners have been appointed to inquire into the Tripoli claims. On the part of the Porte they are— FoAD EFFENDI, lately ambassador in Spain ; 'PALTER BEY, ZlEtf of the customs ; BEKER BEY and USSOF ll.icGAn, Turkish merchants—for France, M. D. GLA VANNY, a French merchant—and for England; the lion. Mr. WELLESLEY, Mr. AusoN, and Messrs. liertsost, WATSON / and LAFONTAINE, merchants. Madrid Journals of the 20th inst. have been received. It ii stated that among the military prisoners made at Vittoria is the nephew of the unfortunate DIEGO LEON, and that the reported insurrection at Burgos was with out foundation. Some riot had taken place, but it was met., ly of a local character. The Heraldo states that the Emperor of Monocco.was at Tangiers, with the view of inspecting the fortifications erecting under English en gin( ers, and, according to this journal, with money lent by England. The Three per Cents. closed at 33i for cash, and 334 at 60 days ; the Fiver per Cents. at 24i at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest, at 64 fur cash. The French Chamber of Deputies has for some days confined its labours entirely to internal affairs. On Tuesday a lengthened discussion took place on the Coun cil of State Bill, a hich was adjourned. The Chamber of Peers did not sit. According to the .Reveu de Paris, the object of M. ROSSE'S mission to Rome has reference to the religious differences which agitate Switzerland, and which begun to be felt in France. The Govern ment are desirous that the Form should put some re straint upon the Catholic clergy of the two countries, and interpose his authority especially with respect to the Jesuits. The accounts from Switzerland are to the 22d. A letter from Berne of that date contains the following :—" In compliance with the decision of the General Council of Zurich the Council of State has dis banded the troops whom it had called out for the pur pose of opposing the apprehended invasion of Lucerne by the free corps of Argau. This invasion was pro jected, but on the remonstrances of the most influential Liberals of other cantons, and in the prospect of a prompt decision of the Diet for the expulsion of the Jesuits, he volunteers, amounting to more than 12,000, re nounced for the present the idea, of bringing the ques tion t an issue by force of arms. Thus, while the two great cantons of Berne and Zurich are Waiting for the decision of the Diet, that of Lucerne seems to be re solved to commence the conflict alone ; for it has shown a great increase of ardour since its troops have been placed under the command of General SONNENBERG. The Deputies from the Vaud passed through Berne yes terday, and were entertained with a grand banquet, at which several members of the Government of Berne were present." . _ Marshal S has given very general satisfaction by his lenity towards the seventeen refractory students who had been expelled from the Polytechnic School. They have all been recalled, and the only punishment now in flicted upon them is the loss of one year of their stand ing as compared with the other pupils. The French Funds were more firm on Wednesday. The. Three per Cents. closed at 84f. 95c.; the Five per Cents., 121 f. 90e.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1 217 f. 50c.; Rouen, 1,117 f. 50e..; Havre, 922f'. 50c.; Spanish Three per Cents., 40g; Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 62. LONDON IN THE REIGN OF ELIZADETPI.—A little interesting map of London about 300 years since has just been published. It has been drawn with much care and research, by a private gentleman, who has devoted much attention to the subject, and engraved by J. Steven,on, Clerkenwell. What strikes the observer most is the small compass of the ancient city, tometber with the extensive open space now occupied by the principal buildings in the west end, and " busy with the hum of men." We find only two houses in Pal-mall (then spelt Pell M.. 11), one on each side. Piccadilly is a blank, and between that and Oxford-street isasolitary windmill, which had given the name to the street.- On the other side of the river, with the exception of South wark, from Winchester Palace, at London-bridge, to Lambeth-house, near the Marsh -gate (and that too has departed), there appears almost a continued marsh. Only four buildings are visible, and these are known to lame—namely, the Globe Theatre, the Bull Bayting, the a 6 ve is rn, sh a o t w ß n an b k y s a i d d e. o " t r t e h d e and gre a t t he fir F e a i l n eon l 6 T 6 extent Bear B t n h g e ' line.

MORTALITY IN THE ME TROPOLIS.—The number of deaths during the week ending Saturday, Feb. 22, was 1,121, exceeding the average of the five preceding win ters by 82. The increase is chiefly among diseases of the lungs and other organs of respiration. The follow ing are the numbers, with the averages :—Bronchites, 63, 24; Pneumonia, 104, 97; Asthma, 55, 47; and Con sumption, 156, 148. Deaths from Small-pox are still numerous-30, average 19. These occurred at the fol lowing ages :—Nine under 1 year; four, 1-3; two, 3-5; six, 5 10; three, 15 20; five, 20-30; and one 50 years. The number of violent deaths is 15, of which 5 were caused by burns and scalds. The returns show no deaths from suicide or murder. STATE or TRADE. — The news from India received by the intermediate mail, yesterday, though not con sidered very favourable, has not produced any injurious effect upon our market. The demand for all descrip• Lions of yarn, and especially for those suitable to the eastern markets, was very good yesterday, an d pr i ces continuo to advance. There was Oso a fair demand at good prices, for nearly all descriptions of- manufactured goods, except twenty•seven-inch printing cloth, which has begun to accumulate in the hands of the manufac turers.—Manchester Guardian. SLAVERY IN THE UNITED • STATES.—The New Orleans papers publish the following trial, and sentence passed upon the offender :—"Pauline, a slave belonging to Peter Reppeneck, was tried at New Orleans on the 21st, on charge of having struck her mistress so as to cause the shed ding of blood. It was proved that about six weeks before, Mr. Reppeneck went to St. Louis, leaving his wife, whom he repre sented to the neighbours as being crazy, and children, with 200 dols. in money, in charge of Pauline, who it was proved was his paramour. Immediately after his departure the slave took pos- session of her mistress's rooms, and removed Mrs. Reppeneck and her three young children to a back cabin. Mrs. Reppeneck testified that Pauline frequently came and beat her severely with a leather thong and her fist, and that her knowledge of her husband's intercourse with the slave had frequently led him to strike her. Her testimony was corroborated by that of Dinah, another slave, who had witnessed the brutal treatment of Mrs. Reppeneck and her children on several occasions, and who finally informed a gentleman of it, through whose interference it came to the knowledge of the police. The testimony was so direct and undoubted, that Pauline was convicted and sentenced to be hung on the 21st of February, though the sentence was postponed until the 28th of March, 1846, in consequence of the fact that she is now pregnant" PUSEYISM IN THE CITY.—A vestry tnec,ting of the parishioners of St. Lawrenee Jovry and t. Mary Mag dalen, Milk-street ) wee held on Thursday, to receive the report of a deputation appointed to wait on the vicar, to endeavour to induce him to discontinue the use of the surplice, the reading of the offertory sentences, and the prayer for the Church Militant. To these two last points the Rev. Gentle man adhered, although he professed himself willing to yield the surplice and resume his gown. A somewhat lengthened and spirited debate took place, and eventually resolutions were adopted, appointing a committee to wait on the Bishop of London, requesting his interference to desire Mr. Burgh, the vicar, to dispense with the objectionable ceremonies. ST. MARYLEBONE BANK FUR SAVINGS.—The 15th Annual. General Meeting of this institution was held on Thursday, the 27th of this month, at the office, No. 76, Welbeck-street, Caven dish-square, the Rev, J. H. Spry, D.D., in the chair. It appeared from the several reports read to the meeting, that the progres.l of this bank continues to be of a very favourable description ; no less than 2,684 new deposits having been made in the last year ; 15,124 depo s it accounts remained open on the 20th November last, of which no less titan 9,503 held balances averaging le3s than 41. ss. 10d. each. Upwards of 350,069/. was then invested with the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt ; tills a mount has since risen to 353,089/. 4s. 7d., and is rapidly on the advance. The continued evi dence thus afforded of the strong and growing disposition of the work ing classes to provide against the casualties of life, will prove a source Of gratification to all reflecting minds ; and it may indeed be hoped, that this provident disposition has its influence in improving the cha racter and conduct, materially contributing to this class of workmen being the last to be discharged whenever e stablishments are reduced, from scarcity of work. THE NEW ROYAL HUNT.—It has been held—as the lawyers have it--that a cat may look at a king ; hut it is not to be tolerated that a set of untnanne;ly curs should poke their noses under the bonnet o a Queen, as was the case the other day at Brighton. It is very hard that her Majesty and her Royal Consort cannot walk abroad, like other people, without having a pack of in bred dogs at their heels, hunting them to the very gates of the Pavi lion. The illustrious couple, whom the Brightonians seem to re gard as fair game for their idle curiosity, were started by a young hound, ofthe butcher-boy breed, who commenced the view halloo, and a IoL of little puppies, beginning to give tongue, the peek was j,,lned by a number of mongrels, who were all soon in full cry together. Some of the dogs were so very ill-bred, that they head- d the game, and it was much to be regretted that there was no whipper-in at hand to keep the hounds at bay,for they ran their prey literally to earth after a chase of nearly half-an-hour.—Purtelf. CORN-MILL BURNED DOWN AT HAWICK.-- About four o'clock on th e morning of Sunday last , t he corn-mill at Damside, Itawick, belo ng i ng t o M essrs . William Wilson and Sons, manufacturers, was burned to the ground. Some hundreds of bolls of corn and meal tell a prey to the devouring element at the sante time ; but by the well-directed efforts of the firemen, the corn -mill immediately in contact escaped untouched. To account tbr the origin of the tire is altogether beyond our power. We understand the mill is insured; therefore the principal loss will fall upon the bakers of the place whose corn was deposited in the mill at the time, and upon the tenant, who is much esteemed by all, and has been thrown destitute by the fatal occurrence.—Edinehrgl e Menem. - ~~ COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert took equestrian exercise yesterday morning, in the riding-school, Buckingham Palace. His Royal Highness Prince Albert presided, yesterday afternoon, at a meeting of the Commission for Promoting and Encouraging the Fine Arts in the re-building the Palace of Westminster.

Inglis, Mr. Benjamin Hawes, ALP., Mr. Henry Hallam, Mr. Samuel Rogers, M.P.. and Mr. Thomas Wyse, M.P. The meeting broke up at half past four o'clock. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales. the Princess Royal, and the Prihcess Alice, were taken an airing in the Roya /flualens yesterday. Mr. Lee had the honour of submitting, through Colonel Wylde, to Prince Albert, his patent improved wheel and axletree for carriages. His Royal Highness was pleased to express his approbation. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Countess of Dunmore, the Earl of Morton, Colonel Buckley, and Colonel Wylde, honoured the Haymarket, Theatre with their presence yesterday evening. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Fanny Howard, honoured the performance at the St. James's Theatre with her presence last evening. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Wylde, visited the Duke of Cambridge yesterday, at Cam * bridge House. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited the Duchess of Cambridge and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz yesterday. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge visited the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday, at Gloucester House. lbe Qrand Duchess (Stephanie) of Baden.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Fanny Howard, Lady in Waiting, visited her Royal Highness yes terday, st the Duke of Hamilton's residence in Portman aware. Several of the Foreign Ministers paid their respects to the Grand Duchess yesterday. The Governor of the Bank of England, and the Deputy Governor had an audience with Sir Robert Peel yesterday.

Mr. Bunn's benefit, on Monday next, which already held out every variety of attraction, presents, in addition, the delnit of Mr. Simon. an extraordinary violinist, from Vienna. We are happy to hear there is every prospect of a complete overflow. HAY MARKET THEATRE. The performances at this theatre, last evening, were ho noured by the presence of her Majesty, who seemed highly to enjoy Peake's new comedy of The Sheriff of the County. We rejoice to find that her Majesty has of late frequently ho noured this theatre by her presence. Her Majesty not only loves, but underFtands the drama, and it is because she under- stands and appreciates i:, and is enabled to discriminate be tween good and bad acting, that it is a great thing for any theatre to be honoured by her patronage. Were that pa tronage indiscriminately bestowed, its value would be greatly lessened, but while that patronage is bestowed liberally it is bestowed also most judiciously, while the dramatic mediocri ties are very properly left to find their level. Excellence in every walk of the dramatic art is certain of Royal patronage, and where has that patronage been more judiciously or more worthily bestowed than on the talented Lessee of" The Little Theatre" in the Haymarket?

The celebrated deer Rob-Roy, which was selected for the morning's sport, upon being uncarted at Two mile. Brook, took away towards Farnham Royal, leaving the village to the right, across East Burnham Park, and through Burnham Beeches, without a cheek, to the left of Beaconsfield, on to Holtspur gate, and thence down Holtspur-bottom to Loudwater, and was taken at High Wycombe, after a beautiful run of little more than an hour, upwards of thirty being well placed at the finish. The speed from the Beeches to Wycombe (the distance being gone over in less than forty minutes) was the fastest ever known. The line of country, being high and rather flinty, • was in very good hunting order, notwith standing the late frost succeeded by the recent thaw and heavy rains KENT CRICKET CLUB.—We have great satisfac tion in learning that through the exertions of the committee, the club will open the season vigorously.

The loss of Martingale in the practice field, who has accepted an advantageous situation under Lord I)ucie, in Gloucestershire, will be made up by the accession of a nephew of Pilch, who has been trained from early youth to the manly exercise. We have not yet heard with what clubs the grand matches will be played, but the prospects of the season will be laid betere a general meeting of the members in May next, on the opening of the campaign, and we are happy to say, under more promising auspices tl}ail for several years past.—Seri 6tBll Observer, TIIE LETTERS OPENING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE S(JX Sfit,—A time comes when men ." speak their minds." The time has arrived for consistent Tories to utter their sentiments about the conduct of the present Government in their almost wholesale letters opening ; they confess it was too bad, and that the "great fact" will always stick to the character of the men now in power. Many entertain the opinion that Letters opening in the Secret Office was not confined to those letters where Sir J. - sham's warrants were issued. Be tl lit, however, as it may, the present Government have earned no enviable reputation through their Paul Pry spy practices. It is a dark blot also upon cur national character. DO-AS-YOU-WOULD- BE-DONE-UNTO. February 26, 1845. MONTHLtc SUM MA KY OF T H MONEY MARKET. (From the Bankers' Circular.) LONDON, FEB. 26, 1845. The state of the English funds during the past month has afforded a very interesting subject for inquiry, to those who are fond of investigating the causes which, at various times, so curiously affect this delicate barometer of the money mar ket, and of political changes. The value of money for dis count of commercial paper has hardly changed during the past month, and yet the funds have been heavy and decli►►- ing during nearly the whole time. Towards the close they have somewhat improved ; but it is difficult to fix on the exact cause which has occasioned such a decided depression in value. The railway speculation has probably had considerable influence in the matter; and it is asserted that the Scotch banks have been converting the stock held by them into money" in anticipation of the measures regarding the currency of the country which may be proposed by Sir Robert Peel. The settlement of the railway -halt monthly account is at this time enormously heavy, from the great amount of speculation going on in this now favourite species of investment ; and the demand for money on short loans, by those who have to fro vide for their engagements, is proportionably great. The rate of interest paid by many of the brokers for advances on shares, shows that they experience the same difficulty in effecting their settlements that we noticed last month. As much as from 20 to 30 per cent., and even more, has been paid by brokers. of very respectable standing, in order to obtain the necessary funds to meet their engagements ! We again repeat that, notwithstanding the hope of many well-informed men to the contrary, this state of the market must bring on a crisis. Those who ex plain the depression of the funds, by reference to this way speculation, say that capitalists find these short loans to the brokers, &c., so very much more profitable than the funds, that all their floating capital goes into tlie share market, instead of being invested in exchequer-bills and the public securities. As regards the sale of stock by the Scotch bankers, we believe the amount has been ridiculously exaggerated ; and that the Minister's threatened interference whit the currency, has certainly not frightened them into the course imputed to them. Some heavy sales by English bankers are attributed to their being now called upon to pay into the Bank of England the deposits which have been lodged with them on the shares of various new companies. The alteration of the tariff by the Premier is looked upon `approvingly in the City; and by increasing the activity of various branches of trade, as well as giving an impetus to commercial dealings generally, it is thought that it will very probably, in a short time, increase the value of money. While, however, we are threatened with a crisis, from the absurd speculation and gambling which is now carried on in railway shares, we can hardly look forward with confidence to any satisfactory change in the Money Market at present. The French Government have adopted very stringent regulations, for the purpose, it is supposed, of sup pressing the gambling in Railway Shares. A deposit of twenty per cent. is to be paid by every proposed Company, before it is to be allowed to enter into any arrangements for the lease of a line, according to the French practice with regard to railways; and only one month is to be allowed for collecting subscriptions, previous to the determination being made on the proposals. These regulations have depressed the shares of all the new French lines. The French Funds have been kept down by the un certain position of the ministry, the stiong and continued attacks of the Opposition rendering it very doubtful whether the present Ministry can continue in power, without a disso lution of the Chambers. The Foreign Funds generally have suffered from the de pression of the public securities, but have somewhat rallied at the close of the month. The St. Domingii wan does not ap pear to be progressing very satisfactorily, although seine few bargains have been done in it, at from t 4 to 1 premium. The Mexican bondholders have had the value of their secu rities enhanced during the month ; the probability of any im mediate act of hostility on the part of the United States, with reference to the annexation of Texas, appearing to be more remote than formerly. The arrival of the Ameri can packet was earnestly looked for by the holders of Pennsylvania stock, as it was hoped the flourishing con dition of that State might induce the Governor to urge the liquidation of the just claims upon it. We regret to find, however, that these claims are postponed for a future conside ration, and the States' creditors are still to' be defied. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. TRADE AND NAVIGATION. Accounts relating to Trade and Navigation; Customs' Duties and Tonnage of Vessels: presented by her Ma jesty's command and ordered to be printed, February 12. These very interesting accounts may be be said to be the basis of the new intended " Blue Book," showing the Customs' duties received on 823 articles, and the effect of these duties on the two years preceding, and the t wo years following, the imposition of tbe last tariff, which was issued immediately prior to the Premier's financial statement, or Budget, of the 14th inst. The first of the accounts now betore us, entitled, " Imports into the United Kingdom," regards " the principal articles of foreign and colonial merchandise, of the consumption of such articles, and of the Customs' duties received thereon, in the year ended sth of January, 1845, com pared with the imports, consumption, and receipts of the preceding year."

Duties on butter im -ported were, in the same years, 151,9071, and 186,6671. Of the next important article, corn (wheat, barley, oats, rye, peas, beans, maize or Indian corn, wheatmeal or flour, and oatmeal), the total imports were, in 1843, 1,747,949 quarters ; in 1844, 3,745,879 quarters ; whereof the proportions of wheat and flour were, in the former year, wheat 940,1 20 quarters, and flour 436,878 quarters, respectively ; in the latter year, wheat 1,100,305 quarters, and flour 985,852 quarters. The total of all imported corn entered for home consumption, in 1843, was 1,670,283 qrs.; in 1844, 3,251,549 qrs. Gross duties received in each of the two years, 763.0421. and 1,107,8171. Gross duti-s on fruits in 1843, 382,5871 ; in 1844, 349,7551. In addition to this sum, raisins yielded of duties, 186,873/. and 159,486/. ; spirits, 2,183,687 e, and 2,211,243/.

NARROW ESCAPE. --; FIVE LIVES SAVED.— 011 Tuesday afternoon, about three o'clock, as a waterman named White, was conveying six passengers in his boat by the Old Swan Pier, near London- bridge, the Waterman steamer No. 3, being about to ekbark passengers upon the lier, took White's boat in the star-board quarter with her arboard sponson, and immediately the whole of White's pas sengers, one of them being a woman with a child in her arms, were immersed in the river and struggling for life. The excitement on the shore was indescribable, as one of the male passengers swain to land, whilst the other five alternately sunk and rose in the water, the woman with the child clasp ing her infant to her bosom, holding it above the eddy with all a mother's instinct. Thomas Norcott, a waterman longing to the Lower Tunnel Pier, Wapping, with great self possession, though at a considerable risk, shoved his boat astern of the steamer, and by great and praiseworthy exer tion succeeded in rescuing the whole party from impending death. He first turned his attention to the woman with her child, whom, together with another, he placed safely in the head of his boat ; but, whilst picking up the others, he nar rowly escaped swamping, as the water several times flowed over the gunwale. Great credit is due to Norcott for the bold manner in which, at his great personal hazard, he res cued five fellow-creatures from a watery grave. CROMER.—FatIy on Sunday morning last an ex tensive fall of the cliff took place at the Signal Station Hill, near the Lighthouse, spreading itself far and wide upon the beach, and covering several acres of ground. The cliff, at this spot, attains an elevation of about 250 feet, and is composed principally of unstratified white and yellow sand resting upon clay. Hundreds of persons have been attracted to the spot to witness its huge intermingled masses rent into lofty pinnacles and deep ravines by the overwhelming pressure of the subterrancous waters collected in the caverns of the cliff, and presenting the idea of an earthquake, but without its concomitant horrors.—Norwich Ilfercut y. • ANOTHER "GREAT FACT."—The Tories baying just recovered from their sullen silence upon the Budget, now say that they would rather have Whig measures from Whigs than.a hollow Tory, as .their "friends" Sir Robert Peel is. What changes are approaching I —From a Correspondent. The great number of letters which we have received ou the subject of the glass duty, and the statements connected with it, show how lively an interest is taken in this part of the Govern ment financial scheme. Above all, tnere is a great anxiety to remove the impression that the present duty weighs so heavily on flint -glass, the material of which decanters and wine-glasses are made. Instead of being 200 or 300 per cent. on the value of the article, it seems not to exceed 10 per cent. The circular which was noticed yesterday was for the purpose of showing, ikat on the rich thilt.giass articles no re duction of price would be made, and the tzarist are evincing. much eageillebb 0 disabuse the mind of the public in this resOcte7Tinws.
