have not presented a picture which would make it the duty of every honest man to rally with me to remedy those evils by a restoration of that Parliament ? You have now seen distinctly my objects, and the objects of the men who are combined with me to obtain a repeal, which is our proud boast ; but that we are in a guilty combination we reject with scorn. We want to restore to Ireland the authority and prerogative of the Queen in the creation of the peerage, to the Irish peer his proper and hereditary judicial authority, and to the representation of the people the right of making their laws. You have a right to ask me the mode of obtaining this measure; you have a right to ask me, and I will answer it, One of our modes is not to use sectarian means in labouring for repeal; and while upon this subject I wish to call your attention to what has already occurred on the part of those who laboured with me. We never sought to sacrifice our country for any sect or party ; on the contrary, there cannot be more strong proof of anything than our utter abhorrence of such means, or of those who profess such to be their object. The Roman Catholics of Dublin he'd a public meet ing in Francis -street on the 9th April, 1795, where they declared that, feeling sincerely attached to their native country, to its rights and liberties, and so fatal did they consider the union between Great Britain and Ireland to be, that they were determined to re sist it to the utmost, even though their own emancipation was of , fered them as a compromise. That was the way in which the Ro man Catholics of Ireland Met the question of the union of 1795. (Mr. O'Connell then read a passage from the first speech he ever made in public. It was delivered on the 13th of January, 1800, and represented the opinions of the Catholics of Ireland then to be so hostile to the union, that even if they were offered the alterna tive of the union or the re-enactment of the penal code, with all its honors, they would prefer the latter, and, even if emancipation was offered to them for their consent to the union, they would reject it with scorn and indignation.) That (continued the Honourable and Learned Gentleman) was my first political speech. These were the sentiments of myself and the Catho tics of Ireland, with reference Ao the union. Why, then, should we be charged with sectarianism ? Gentlemen of the Jury. you cannot but be all well aware that the case of the Protestant Dissenters of England was warmly advocated by me—that I presented a petition in their favour, signed by 28,000 Roman Catholics, and adopted at an aggregate meeting of Roman Catholics. That petition was not on the table of the House of Commons six weeks when the Protestant Disienters of England were emancipated. I scorn, therefore, and treat with the most sovereign contempt and indifference the idea of sectarianism. It has been said, that I have made violent speeches; if I have, would it net be but fair to allow me the opportunity of showing how far these speeches were accurate or inaccurate, or what was explanatory er mitigatory, and not reserve them for so remote a period as this is, from the time some of them have been delivered. But no ; there has been no violence on our side ; if there has been any violence, it is entirely upon the part of our opponents. I will now read you an article which appeared on the 2d of August, 1841, in an English Paper, the Cheltenham Chronicle, which cir culates very generally thyough Bath and Bristol, Shrewsbury, and the other great towns in the south and west of England. (The Learned Gentleman .tl(en read the article.) After de. scribing the condition of Ireland, it went on to say that the people were a wild, savage, uncivilised race, the slaves of O'Connell— that every Irish priest should be secured and exiled for life— ( Laughter)—and not permitted to return to Ireland on penalty of death . That that could be achieved only by a Conservative Go. vernment.—(Renewed laughter.) It could only be done by Sir Robert Peel and his colleagvies. I now wish to say one word on the subject of the Arbitration Courts. I need not tell you that there are no oaths in these Courts, and that there could be none. I do not know whether A strikes you that this was arm advantage in these Courts. I presume you participate in the horror With which I have viewed the flippant profanation with which oaths are administered in the several departments of the State, and that as Christian men you desire that they should be less fee. quent. In one year alone, in 1832, no less than 172,000 oaths were administered in the Customs, and 158,000 oaths were administered in the Excise Department. This was an un necessary profanation, for the parties who swore were not trusted. They were as strictly watched as if they bad not taken an oath. Lord Nugent asked me, I recollect, to assist him in bringing in a BM substituting in all revenue cases declarations for oaths. I did assist him, and the Bill is now the law of the land. I would extend its principle further, and apply it to cases 'of property. You can place no value on the oath of a man who would tell you an untruth about property. An oath cannot be binding on a mind of that description. When the time is ripe —and I hope it is fast coming—l hope to see, as in the case of the Quakers, the declaration of every Christian taken in all mat. tors ; and, if in this we only imitate what is already done by reli. gious communities, do not describe us as conspirators because we act in a similar way. Well, it being conceded that these meet logs were peaceable in their origin, conduct, and designs, what, let TIM ask, has the Crown read foe you as evidence of the mode in which Repeal is to be carried ? The first evidence read for that purpose was the regulations of the Repeal Association.—(The Learned Gen tleman read the regulations, which have been already published.)— This, gentlemen, is the plan of the Repeal Association. It holds out hest the alternative of those acts of justice to Ireland; it holds out, then, the looking for repeal in the manner prescribed, with the expression of their full fidelity and allegiance, and de. dares the peaceful and legal means, with their full avowal of a determination to look for repeal in that way, and in no other. Under those circumstances you have the combination that comes before you called a conspiracy. Well, in order, however, to carry it further, the counsel for the Crown have read another document. It is the reconstruction of the House of Commons—" the renewed action of the Irish Parliament." The Learned Gentleman then read extracts from the second document, entitled " Plan for the renewed action of the Irish House of Commons, stating that Re. pealers recognise and acknowledge the right of her Majesty Queen Victoria, her heirs and successors, to all the rights and privileges in. herent in the Crown of Ireland ; that they would bear their most faith. fill allegiance to her Majesty, her heirs and successors ;*and that they acknowledge they would maintain all hereditary privileges of the Peers of Ireland, as before." This, Gentlemen, is the evidence fer the prosecution, this is the evidence to prove a conspiracy and illegal means and objects. Gentlemen of the jury, we did not call for this evidence, though I admit that it contains an admirable defence for us ; hut it is produced by the Attorney. General, and on that he calls on you to find us guilty. There is the plan of repeal, and what fault do you find with it ? It discusses, and I insist on my right to discuss, the great constitutional question as to the com petency of the Irish Parliament to pass the Act of Union. That question was discussed before the union was thought of, if I may so speak. la the work called " Locke on Government"—a trea tise written to prove that William was the lawful monarch, by rea. son of the occurrences which had taken place—a beok which, at the time of the union, was a class-book in Trinity College, al. t hough since withdrawn from the course—but still a book of autho rity, and, undoubtedly, one of the instruments by which the revolu tion of 1688 was achieved—a revolution which no one admires more than I do—in that work occurs a passage to which I demand your serious attention (Mr, O'Connell read the passage, which has been frequently quoted during the trial), in which it is laid down, that Parliament had the power of making laws, but not Legislatures, and that it could not delegate that power to others. He also read an extract from Mr. Saurin's speech, delivered en the 15th of March, 1800, in which that gen tleman asserted that the union would be a nullity, if forced on the Irish people against their *lt ; and another passage in a subsequent speech in which Mr. Sauria gave it as his opinion, that although they might make the union binding as a law, they could not Make it obligatory on conscience, and resistance to it in the ab stract would become a duty. My Lords, I insist on the truth of that constitutional doctrine. I take the qualification that has been laid down by Mr. Saurin that the Act is binding as a law, while it continues to have form and shape, but it is not binding on con. science, on principle, or on right. It has been said that I pro nonoced the Acts passed since the union to be void. I did not say so ; for, if they were void, the Act of Catholic Emancipation must be void as well as the rest. But give me the repeal of the union, and we will soon come , o terms about that. I would then make you a present of the Emancipation Act. I may be wrong in my position, but I have a right to argue these questions— every man has a right to argue them. Gentlemen of the jury, the point arose in 1782, and the Irish Parliament then de clared that no power on earth could bind the Irish people but the king, lords, and commons of Ireland, and an Act was passed to that effect. The consequence of that was to do away with all the laws in reference to Ireland made in England. But they went even further, and passed laws which deranged the whole property of the country. That state of things was not permitted to exist an hour; for Chief Baron Yelverton brought in a Bill which provided that all laws passed by the British Parliament, whether with regard to Ireland or any other part of the United Kingdom, should apply equally to both countries. It has also (said Mr. O'Connell) been said, that this was inconsistent with allegiance. I deny it. If the authority exists in the Queen, it can be exercised by the responsible Minister. lam now nearly drawing to a close ; but I must first go back to the evils of the union, and show the necessity of every man exerting himself to obtain repeal. I ask you, first, would it not cure the hideous evil of absenteeism ? A very talented gentleman, Mr. Hayes, of Cork, has calcu'ated that 9,000,000/. surplus revenue passes out of this country every year. Time railway Commissioners reduce- it to 6,000,0001. I take the reduced amount, and I ask, if ever any country suffered so much as this from the drain consequent upon absenteeism ? We don't want English capital; give us our own 6,000,0001., we want no more, we have enough for own purposes, If it is only allowed to remain with us. The surplus revenue, gentlemen, is another exhaustion of the re. sources of Ireland. It amounts in some years to two millions. Last year I think it was so low as 700,0001.; but whether one amount or the other, it is drained out of this country never to return. Again, the Woods and Forests department get 74,000/, a year in quit rents and Crown rents out of Ireland. How has that been spent fur the last ten years ? Why in making the Thames Tunnel and beautifying Trafalgar.square. We want arm ad . _ _ ditional bridge here, and why should we not have that 74,0001. to erect it? Have we not as good a right to it as the citizens of London If we had an Irish Parliament sitting, would we permit these continual drains ? No and gentlemen, bill you give your consent, your votes I will say, to the sending over of all the money to ornament Trafalgar square ? or will you raise your voice on behalf of those who honestly contend that Ire. land should have the benefit of her own resources ? There are other evils contingent with this drsin upon our country. I heard in Parliament quoted a work by a Mr. Young, a political econo. mist, who travelled through Ireland in 1778, and who, in writing en the, subject of the increase •f the population, observed that all the children grew up to be men and women, and he accounted for that by their never-failing bellyful of potatoes. Was that the case now ? Had not the condition of the people and of the coun try declined ? Are you not affrighted at, and your country de seeded by, periodical famines, six or eight of which have oc curred since the union ? Quantities of provisions were ex ported to England at the very moment the people here were expiring from famine. The history of distress in the report of the Poor-law Commissioners was appalling; and the Population Commissioners' Report, which has just come out, exhibits the evil in an aggravated shape. The gentlemen who framed it, Captain Larcom, reports that 30 per cent, of the population of the cities and towns in Ireland are in a state of the most abject po. verty, and, that 70 per cent. of the agricultural population are in a like condition. Where is the perpetual bellyful of potatoes now, and where is the advantage of the union when such a state of things is in existence ? And are these grievances to remain Are we who seek a remedy for them to be hunted out of society as conspirators, and those smiling and exulting in the honours of office, to be supported, praised, and sustained, while the friends of the poor, those whys desired that they shoyld receive wages, net alms, and that industry should be rewarded, are differently treated ? I speak nit of their being charitable and hu. mane—but I take up the public principle, and I ask whether these who seek to relieve the enormity of distress are to be prosecuted or perseeuted. We are looking out for the means of relieving the distress of which our country complains. We have all the natural resources for prosperity. Examine our stand—it is one of the most fertile upon the face of the globe- There is no country in the world which is so well circumstanced— possessing so many harbours and excellent estuaries. It is an old historical fact, that the Irish harbours arc better than those of Eng. /and—her waters carry vessels of 500 tons burden into the very centre of Ireland—the island is indented at every side by havens which are secure from every wind that blows during the twenty. four hours. No country has such power as Ireland —the machinery of the world might be turned by it; and, oh: what a difference there is between machinery and manufactures carried on in the free air and wholesome atmosphere which surround a water- , . . . power—and all the hideous filth and unwholesomeness which ne ce4sarily belongs to the factory system in the sister country. There is not a spot in Ireland Which is more that 30 miles distant from a good harbour. Take the map of the country, and this will be seen. Why is not the country prosperous ? Did I not read of the untold . . _ . . —unheard of magical prosperity which followed from the existence of a native legislature, from the writings and observations of men most adverse to Ireland, and whose business it was to conceal the condition of the country before the union ? Had I not read this vidence of the increasing prosperity of Ireland under her Par. lianieot. What happened once will surely happen again. This struggle is to recover the poor from poverty, to enable those who are idle, from want of wages or occupation. to keep the revenues of the country in it, to retain the nobility of the land. I Jettye the case with you ; I utterly deny that I have said or done anything to warrant the imputation that lam a conspirator. I reject the accusation with contempt. I acted in the open day, in the presence of the Government, of the magistrates, and I said Just ready, in one vol. post Bvo., CONFESSIONS of a WHITEFOOT. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street.

A pleasant, lively, bustling, two-act farce, entitled ":Used up," was produced at this theatre last eve ning. The hero, Sir Charles Coldstream (Mr. C. Mathews) is a gentleman of 12,0001. a year, who having tried every pleasure, is of opinion with Solo man " that every thing is vanity." He is dying of ennui, and, to use his own expression, having begun life at 13, he finds that, at 33, he is completely " used up." He determines to make an offer to the first woman he meets, and accordingly proposes to Lady Clutterbuck, ci-devant Mrs. Ironbrace, a lady in her second widowhood, and is accepted. The lady's first husband, Ironbrace, whom she had thought dead, happens, at that mo ment, to be engaged in the capacity of a blacksmith, in doing some repairs to Sir Charles's house. Ile sees his wife—accuses the Baronet of attempting to seduce her. Sir Charles threatens to throw him out of the window, which opens upon the Thames —they struggle, and both roll out together. In the next act we find Sir Charles living with Farmer Wurzel (Mr. James Bland) as a farm servant. Believing himself to have murdered Ironbrace, he has assumed this disguise, to escape the pursuit of justice; the only person aware of his real rank being his foster sister Mary (Miss Julia Bennett) the farmer's niece. Ironbrace, who fancies that he has murdered Sir Charles, has also sought refuge at the same farm. The farmer himself being his confidant. A series of amusing scenes ensue, until at length all is exclaimed, and Sir Charle3, effectually cured of ennui, marries Mary. The acting of Charles Mathews was excellent; he kept the house in a continual roar, and at the con clusion announced the piece for repetition, amidst loud applause. This is an excellent farce. The in cidents follow one another in rapid succession, and the dialogue is smartly written. The house was crowded. The Ecclesiastical Commission fi,r England had a meeting yesterday afternoon at the office in Whitehall-place. The Commissioners present were the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the Bishop o f Wi nc h ester, t h e Bishop of Lichfield, the Bishop of Ripon, the Bishop of Salisbury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, .and the Dean of West- Le Conunamleur Marques Lisboa, Brazilian Minister, :ran acted business ye6terday at the Foreign-ollice. Our Dublin Correspondent gives the following outline of the proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench on Monday : The knowledge of the fact that Mr. O'CONNELL was to address the Court to-day, drew a larger con course than usual of all classes to the neighbourhood of the Courts this morning. At an early hour the Queen's Bench was thronged in every part, a great portion of the auditors consisting of fashionably dressed ladies and members of the most distinguished families in this country. At a few minutes after ten o'clock, Mr. O'CON NELL, who was not habited in wig and gown as on the preceding days of the trial, com menced his address to the Court and jury, by saying that he felt some diffidence in addressing the jury, not for his own sake, but when he reflected how important was the cause he had to plead, and how numerous were his clients. Ile had seven mil lions of clients—the whole Irish people—and he was afraid that their case might in any respect be injured by the incompetency of his advocacy. He was not there to palliate or mitigate anything he had ever said. He would reiterate, in the pre sence of the Court and jury, every protestation he had ever made against the union—fur that union had been carried, he repeated, by the most nefarious agency, and had been designed in fraud and a feeling of envy—as had often been said by one who had long ornamented that Bench (Chief Justice BusnE)—a feeling of envy of the growing prosperity of Ire land. With respect to this prosecution for conspiracy, it was the most preposterous proceeding that had ever yet been instituted. Ile had looked into the dictionary, and he found the meaning of the word conspiracy was a private or secret agreement among various parties to commit crime. He asked the jury, then, as consisting of men of honesty and intelligence, what evidence had been adduced to them of any such agreement in the pre sent case ? Had it been proved that there was any secret agreement between the parties indicted in the present instance ; and, even if had been proved, had it been shown that he was pre sent when that agreement had been entered into ? No such thing. At least this might give him the benefit of an alibi. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then alluded to the Anti-Corn-law League, and ridiculed the idea of its being denominated a conspiracy. Yet the organisation of the League differed in little from that of the Re peal Association. Could a jury be found in England that would convict the League of a conspiracy, if it were possible to suppose that such a charge would be preferred against that body ? Then there was the Anti : . Slavery Society would that be termed a conspiracy ? That body received money both from home and abroad; its members held their private and their public meetings, and yet it was never thought of call ing the body a set of conspirators. With respect to the constitution of the jury, he stated that in England no twelve men would be put as a jury into a box to try men from whom, according to the principles on which they were edu cated, they differed so widely in opinion. He then alluded to the peaceable charaCter of the meetings ; and with respect to the charge of intimidation which had been brought against them, he said this Go vernment, who had all the gentry, the magis tracy, and the clergy of the Established Church attached to them, could have ascertained whether the charge was founded in truth or not. But not one witness had been called to prove that any thing like intimidation had been used at those meet ings ; and why ? Because no one could conscientiously swear that intimidation had been used. He pointed out that eight years ago, when illegal combination was attempted to be established among the trades unions of Dublin, he was the person who put a stop to it. Would he have done so if he was one who was justly liable to the charge of conspiracy ? Allusion had been made by the Attorney-General to the conduct of the men of 1798, and it was sought to fix upon him the charge to which they were amenable—that of desiring French sympathy and French aid. Had he acted as one who had desired either ? Had he not rejected the proffered assist ance of the French party, at the head of which was M. LEDRU ROLLIN. He flung back with indignation and contempt the charge which the Attorney-General, in his opening address, had sought to fasten upon him of speaking disrespectfully of the QUEEN. Ile denied it. The charge was false. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then proceeded at much length to de monstrate that the English Government had, from the commencement of its connexion with Ireland, governed this country with the most narrow jealousy, and he adverted,par parenthese, in proof of his position, to the history of the woollen trade of Ireland— that the transactions of 1782 were intended to be a final adjustment of the condition of the Irish Par-' liament, which it was then agreed should be estab lished as an independent Parliament for ever— -that the greatest prosperity of the country followed from the establishment of an independent Parliament—that the union was forced upon the Irish people, against their consent, and by the most corrupt and fraudulent means—that the poverty under which Ireland is now suffering is the result of the union, and that the only remedy for Ireland's grievances, and the only means of preventing the ultimate separation of the two countries, was the repeal of the union. In the course of his observations he quoted AUGUSTIN THIERRY, Mr. PITT, Primate BOLTON, Chief Justice BUSHE, and several other writers and speakers, in support of his position. He also entered at length into statistical details to show how prostrated were the energies of the Irish people, and how ruinous were the effects of the union upon the manufacturing industry of this country. He then read in full several of the documents issued by the Repeal Association, and which had been read in part and produced in evidence by the Attorney-Ge neral, and he contended that those very documents constituted his best defence. He cited LOCKR, Lord GREY, BUSHE, SAURIN, PLUNKETT, &C., in support of the doctrines which he had propounded as a Repealer. In a nation like the British empire, where Parlia ment had so often changed the succession to the throne, was he to be told that he would not be allowed to discuss a question like the repeal of the union ? There might be error, but there could not he crime in discussing the question. lie again re verted to the present state of Ireland, and com pared it to that of the country in the middle of the last century when ARTHUR YOUNG visited it The people, then, according to that writer, had each " a belly-full of potatoes" to eat when hungry ; but now, according to the report of Captain LAR COM, 30 per cent. of the town and city population, and 70 per cent. of the agricultural population were in a state of the most abject poverty. Were, then, those who sought to remedy that dreadful state of things to be branded as conspirators, and those who sat undisturbed in the enjoyment of the emolu ments and honours of place, to be lauded, when they assailed those who endeavoured to remedy such evils? The Hon. Gentleman concluded by glorying in his attempts, whether successful or otherwise, to benefit his native country. At the conclusion of Mr. O . CONNELL'S speech the CHIEF JUSTICE inquired if the traversers were going into evidence, and being informed by Mr. MooRE and Mr. HATCH ELL that the witnesses could not be conveniently produced this evening, the Court adjourned until the usual hour to-morrow morning. It is now generally admitted, that the Govern ment has totally failed in establishing the shadow of a case against Mr. O'CONNELL arid the other tra versers ; it is allowed, on all hands, that not a parti cle of evidence has been adduced, from which a con spiracy can be inferred, an illegal intent presumed, or an overt act either of conspiracy or unlawful in tendment established : and yet nobody presumes to guess, with anything like certainty, what the next Government move is to be, either in the event of a conviction, in the procurement of which evidence has no concern ; of an acquittal, which the evidence given ought clearly to cause ; or of no verdict at all, to which the general opinion, at this moment, seems to lean. Suppose O ' CONNELL convicted, what then ? What earthly creature, save a Government creature, will attach the smallest importance to such a consumma- tion of fraud, of intolerance, of official and judicial knavery ? Suppose him acquitted, what then ? Does any human being, save the Tory and renegade GRA HAM clique, think that the acquittal of O'CONNELL is other than the mere dealing out of barren justice to hint ? And suppose, that the jury do not agree upon a verdict, what then ? Is there a man who will not believe that, honest although the jury may be, there are men among them who wish to save the Government from that defeat which a direct acquittal might be thought to inflict ? happen, the Governm e nt o f Si r ROBERT irtv PEEL re dcmption by the result of the trial. C ommence d i n anger, carried on with hatred a n d ma li ce , ridicu louslylhat will inlreland i s d amage d b eyon d imbecile in all its progress —the only remem brance in after times of the Irish State trials of 1844 will be of a Government powerless to prevent, eager to punish, and yet without the ability either of inflicting effectual punishment or of procuring the means by which that end might have been attained. Without a single individual, from the Attorney-Ge neral downwards, competent to set the legal machine in motion, to direct its movements, or to bring those movements to any useful end, the engine of Irish law has been rolling about, totallymisguided, and without direction. Such a getting up of a case, lawyers never yet saw; such a conduct of a case, heaven grant no lawyer may again witness ;—and from Crown Solicitors and Attorney-Generals such as Ireland is now blessed with, there is not a man in that country, who does not heartily pray to be deli vered. Melancholy, indeed, is it to witness the destiny of a great nation confided to instruments so utterly incompetent. Melancholy is it, to witness the play ing with the welfare and well-being of a great coun try, merely to gratify the vanity and the self-pride of a GRAHAM, a STANLEY, or any other renegade of such a school as that to which they belong. Melancholy is it to witness the spectacle of two entire terms consumed in a vain and hopeless prosecution of the man who has been to Ireland, and accomplished for Ireland, more than man could have hoped, and achieved more than any other man for her liberties, her rights, and her privileges. To witness the whole legal business of a nation suspended, that an illegal attempt might be made, to crush by the name, but not by th? spirit, of the law, the right inherent in every man of England, Scotland, or Ireland, to discuss his grievances, and, by peaceable means, to seek for their redress Is Sir ROBERT PEEL prepared to enact the part of RICHARD the THIRD in our times ? Is he prepared-- having gained the Government by deception, by base truckling to the prejudices of all parties, to the worst passions of bigots and monopolists, in all the three countries--to support the power he has gained by force of arms and of violence ? Does he adopt the sentiment ? " Thrones that are won by blood, by blood must bQ maintained." And is he prepared to carry this doc trine out in all his relations ? If so, he will find his field of Bosworth sooner than he may calculate. The Paris papers are almost entirely filled with the report of the debates in the British Parliament on the QUEEN'S Speech. Most of them comment on the speeches made by Sir R. PEEL and Lord BROUGHAM, and in general regard the opinions expressed in both Houses as of a friendly character towards France. The National of course forms an exception. The funeral of General BERTRAND took place last week at Chateauroux. The whole garrison was under arms. The pall was borne by the Prefect of the Indre, by Generals GITEHENEC and DE RIGNY, commandant of the department, and by the Mayor of Chateauroux. The funds slightly improved on Monday. The Three per Cents. closed at 81f. 90 c., and the Fives at 124 f. 90e. Owing to press of matter we are compelled to post pone our remarks on Mr. O'Connell's excellent speech, and, in the meantime, call the attention of our readers to the arguments urged with such effect in his defence. WILL OF THE LATE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD. — The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council met this morning to hear an appeal by the Hight Iton. J. Croker, claiming as a legatee under a codicil of the late Mar pas of Hertford. The Solicitor-General appeared on THJ SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7, 1844. I nothing that I would not expose to the universal world. I have struggled for the restoration of the Parliament of my native coun try. Some have succeeded in the attempt—others have failed. If I succeed, or if I fail, it is a glorious struggle to make—it is glo rious to strive that the first land upon the earth should possess that bounty and benefit which God and nature alike intended it should enjoy. —(Partial applause.) The CHIEF JUSTICE—Are you going into evidence, Mr. Moore ? Mr. MOORE—We intend so, my Lord ; but at this late hour there might be a difficulty in getting the witnesses into Court in its present crowded state, The CHIEF JUSTICE — I do not wish to put you to any incon.. venience. Mr. Moose—Then, my Lord, I think that, as the case has closed as far as the speeches are concerned, we might abridge the evidence by a conference, before any of the witnesses are produced. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Then we will be ready to hear them to morrow morning. The Court was accordingly adjourned until to-morrow morning, at ten o'clock. Mr. O'Connell was loudly cheered while passing through the hall, and in the vicinity of the Courts, upon his way home. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The weekly meeting of the Association was held this day in the Conciliation Hall. The building was crowded to excess. On the motion of Mr. bfauaicE O'CoprxELL the chair was taken by Lord FFRENCH, amidst the most rapturous applause. His Lord. ship said, amongst other things, " that he identified himself heart and soul with Mr. O'Connell." The meeting was addressed by Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P., Mr. Dillon Brown, M.P., and Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., who moved and carried a resolution to watch over the proceedings in Parliament. Mr. O'Connell entered the hall during the proceedings, and was most vociferously cheered. After the other business was disposed of, Mr. O'CONNELL very briefly addressed the meeting, stating that he could not omit doing so although he had already spoken for five hours. He expected the people to be peaceful, stated that the trial would close in the course of the week, and that the Crewn had completely proved his (Mr. O'Connell's) case. Mr. Rocii E, M.P., then addressed the meeting. The Repeal rent for the week was announced to be 5601. 4s. 10,1. THE WEATHER.—SuN OFFICE, FEB. 7. THERMOMETER, Lowest, 33; Highest, 37; Noon, 40.

The subject was in troduced by the Duke of IticiimoND, who moved for a copy of a circular which had been sent to the different clerks of the peace in the United Kingdom. The paragraph in the circular to which he objected was that which authorised a constable to enter the pre mises of a prisoner in order to ascertain the amount of his property. This, he considered illegal, and as a visiting magistrate he should consider it his duty to inform every prisoner that, up to the period of his conviction, he had a right to dispose of his property in any way he might think proper. Lord WIIARNCLIFFE concurred in the remarks made by the Duke of RICHMOND. Lord BROUGHAM said it was impossible to defend that part of the cir cular which authorised a constable to commit a tres• pass ; and after a few words from Lord CAMPBELL and the Duke of RICHMOND the motion was withdrawn, on an understanding that the Government would make an intimation to the clerks of the peace that the objectionable clause was not to be acted on. Lord CLARENDON gave notice that he would on Friday put some questions to the Secretary fur Fo reign Affairs relative to Spain. A conversation then took place between the Noble Earl and Lord ABERDEEN, respecting the Chinese treaty, when the Foreign Secretary said Government had not yet received the supplementary treaty, but he trusted it would be satisfactory. In answer to a question from Lord MONTEAGLE the Duke of WELLINGTON said it was not the inten tion of the Government to appoint a Committee on banking, as there was already sufficient information before the House on the subject. The Noble Duke also said it was the intention of the Government to institute an inquiry respecting the Irish poor-laws, but not till the Irish representa tives had returned. In the House of Commons, after the presentation of petitions, Mr. COBDEN gave notice that on Tuesday fortnight he would move for a Select Committee to inquire into the effect of the import duties on tenant farmers and farm-labourers. Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that, on the motion of Lord ASHLEY, relative to Sinde, he should move that the conduct of Lord AUCKLAND, in his negotiations with the Ameers of Sinde, was iniquitous and unjust, and was unfortunately the necessary cause of the policy pursued by his succcessor. Mr. RicARDo gave notice of a motion on com mercial treaties with foreign countries. Mr. GISBORNE gave notice that he would on Tues day fortnight move for a Select Committee to inquire into the deterioration of the gold coinage. In answer to a question from Mr. NYSE, Sir J. GRAHAM said it was his intention to introduce a Bill to amend the law respecting the Registration of Voters in Ireland before the recess. After questions relative to the Right of Search and Cemeteries in large towns, Sir J. GRAHAM moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the laws relating to factories; and, after some remarks from Mr. HumE, Lord ASHLEY, Mr. STUART WORTLEY, and Mr. lIINDLEY, leave was given to bring in the Bill. Mr. GLADSTONE moved the appointment of a Select Committee on railways. The motion led to a lengthened discussion, and the appointment of the Committee was postponed. On the Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into a Committee of Supply, Mr. S. CRAWFORD moved that the redress of the grievances of the people should be taken into consideration before granting the supplies. Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the motion ; which, on a division, was rejected by a majority of 108. After questions put by Mr. IVAKLET and Mr. Fox Maus.E, relative to the Landlord and Tenant Com mission, and the Non-Intrusion riots at Roskeen, the House went into Committee of Supply, passed the resolutions, and adjourned at Half-past Ten o'clock. the part of the Right lion. Gentleman. Lords Brougham, Denman, Abinger, and Campbell, Chief Justice Tindal, &c., were present. OVERLAND MAIL INDIA AND CHINA. The accounts brought by this mail from India and China are very satisfactory. The affairs of Gwalior have been settled without shedding a drop of blood. The Governor-General;reached Agra on the 11th of De cember, and was making arrangements for marching the army of exercise, under Sir Hugh Gough, into the country ; but its services were not required. The authorities, on finding that they had no chance of re sisting such an overpowering force, held a council of war, which was attended by the principal officers and leading men of the country ; and after a short. delibera tion resolved to give up the Minister Khasgeewalla, who was regarded as the prime mover in the late de monstrations against British authority in that quarter. He was immediately sent off prisoner under an escort of fifty men to Agra. The young Raja, who was considered the rightful heir to the throne, took refuge in the British camp, and in due time was to be regularly installed as Sovereign. Lord Ellenborottgh was to proceed to Gwalior, accompanied by the young Prince, but no par ticulars had transpired as to his ultimate plats. That district, however, is now entirely under British dominion. Affairs remained nearly in the same state at Lahore, hut preparations were made fbr resistance in case an attack should be made on the Sikhs by the British troops on the other side of the Sutlej. Sinde was per fectly tranquil. Sickness still prevailed to a consider able extent. A number of medical officers had been dispatched from Bombay to attend the sick, and hopes were entertained that the malady was only temporary. Sir Charles Napier was in good health. At Sukkur, the sickness was rapidly diminishing. From China the in telligence is favourable. The supplementary treaty, by Sir Henry Pottinger and the Chinese Commissioner, would] be forthwith signed by the Emperor without waiting fur the signature of the Queen of England. The sickness at Hong-Kong had abated, but we regret to state that Major Pottinger, Colonel Knowles, and two surgeons had been carried off by it. GWALIOR—THE ARMY OF EXERCISE. (From the Agra Ukbar of Dec. 23.) Out accounts from the army of the Chumbul (we do not admire the title of Exercise, and purpose to exclude it henceforth) are somewhat meagre, though as yet we can hardly expect any one to see beyond his nose. As stated in our overland issue, the surrender of the Khasgeewalla is an important feature in the negotiations with Gwalior, as removing one great impediment to the settlement of affairs ; the effect is the submission of the Baee and the Durbar, who have agreed to the terms imposed, but confess their inability to disband the troops, for which purpose, therefore, the army con tinues to advance. The Governor. General and Commander-in. Chief arrived at Dholpore on the 19th, and orders were issued for the advance of the army in the following order : The vanguard, under the command of Major-General Valiant, K. 11., consisting of three troops Horse Artillery, No. 17 Light Field Battery, the 3d Brigade of Cavalry, and 3d Brigade of In. fantry, to cross on the morning of the 22d. On the 23d the Commander.in.Chief's camp, No 10 Light Field Battery, and 4th Brigade of Infantry. On the 24th the sth Brigade of Infantry, with:a portion of the Artillery, and Engineer park—on the 25th, the 6th Brigade of Infantry, and remaining portions of Artillery, and Engineer park. The Governor-General would cross either on the 23d or 24th, after sending off dispatches by express. The ford, over which the army will pass, is only three feet three inches deep, with good firm footing, so that there will be no trouble in crossing the army ; the advance column would halt on the right bank until the whole had crossed over, when the army would move on to a place called Hinganna, where it is expected that the Baee and Durbar would meet the Governor-General to tender their submission, when, no doubt, a proclamation will be issued, calling on the soldiers of the Gwalior Raj to submit, under pain of being treated as rebels. The report current in camp as to the future arrangement of the force at Gwalior is, that a 2d contingent will be brigaded under Brigadier Stacey, and the Sipporee contingent increased, so as to have two separate bodies of 6,000 men in each of all arms—but this is mere rumour. The army was encamped at Dholpore, on a splendid plain, on which an army of fifty thousand men could have manceuvered with ease. The Rana of Dholpore, not to be outdone by so insignificant a force as the army of the Chumbul, sent some of his tag-rag-and bobtail, with a couple of old guns, one iron and the other brass (to show that he possessed both kinds of metal), to swell its numbers, to do honour to the Governor-General, and to protect the English Artillery during the night, in case some secret enemy should steal on it unobserved and annihilate it. They were talking in camp of the probable time they would be back at Agra, and what was to be done after, whether to remove to the Sutlej, or settle down again quietly. Whispers were current that the former was the more likely move; and words falling by accident from the lips of authority, were greedily ricked up and speculated on. This is all pleasant enough in camp, where the smallest hint serves for an exciting discourse at the mess table. Among other sayings which had been discussed, was one of a rather peculiar nature, as connected with the Punjaub, but which may be taken in a double sense : " there is plenty of time to look after the Punjaub." This may mean, let us first settle this affair, ar,sl then we can mind the other; or it may mean that the Punjaub pear is not ripe enough yet, and therefore there is plenty of time to think of it. Be it as it may, the opinions of many are decided that some interference with the Punjaub is contemplated in high guar .. ters—and there the matter may rest in the mean time. The following is another account, and furnishes intel ligence from Bombay to the Ist of January. The army of exercise has been successful without firing a shot : A very large demonstration has been made before a very small foe, and the latter, seeing resistance useless, has wisely given in. The movement on Gwalior was made from three directions—the ' main body of the army of exercise marching from Gwalior, and the ►eft wing from Kooneh in Bundelkund ; while a S trong force, con sisting of Madras troops, moved up from Ellichpore. The place of rendezvous of the latter was fixed at Balapoor, and there the troops accordingly assembled, on the 20th of November, under the com mand of Brigadier Bagnold, of the Arunzabad division. No sooner, however, had they all collected, than an order arrived for their re turn, and the regiments at once retrograded to the different stations, Ellichpore, Neeinuch, Jalnah, &c., from which they had been drawn. Tlie cause of the sudden dissolution of the force is under stood to have been the receipt of intelligence of a favouraqle nature in regard to the state of affairs in Gwalior. The issue was favourable to the party who had espoused the British interest, and the attempt made by the other side to regain possession of the usurping minister, Dada Khasgeewalla, signally failed. Soon after the struggle, Bapoo Seetooleah, the leader of the successful party, prevailed on the Baee to consent to the dismissal of a number of Khasgee's creatures, whom she had kept about her person ; and also to give up Dada himself to the British authori- tics. He succeeded, likewise, in getting himself appointed to the full charge of the Government. An attempt was now made to send the prisoner to Agra; but it failed, owing to the opposition of some of the Sirdars and troops. Efforts were used to procure the sanction of the British authorities to his confinement as a state prisoner within the Gwalior Raj; but these were equally unsuccessful. No prospect being apparent of a pa- cific adjustment of differences, the warlike party again ob. tained ascendancy in the Councils of the State, and some very vigorous preparations for hostilities were entered into. Our Government appears all along to have acted with becoming firm ness, and to have determined upon obtaining entire acquiescence in all its demands, without the slightest limitation. The Gwalior durbar, unanimous in nothing but dissimulation and intrigue, ex. hibited constant vacillation, and was valiant or submissive by fits and starts, according as the warlike or pacific party happened to be uppermost. About the Bth of December, however, it was pretty generally determined that the Army of Exercise should be opposed, and Seetooleah's intentional absence from the durbar seemed to be a signal for active measures of preparation. The arrangements for defence were discussed and concluded, and letters were sent to the l e e s i s n e r ft p s e t l o l o i n o g f t b h l e o o fi d r . i e t i n s d h e . a v ß o a o p r o ed o S e e e s t e o e o o l n ea d h t , i to d e e s i t r o o u s s e o o d f s o p ff a rti the chiefs of Boondela and the Prince of R a j warre, craving assist ant's: Khasgeewalla, and a second time failed, owing, as it afterwards ap peared, to his custodians having been bribed by the Baee. It thus appeared evident that hostilities must ensue. . . Lord Ellenborough arrived at Agra from Calcutta on the 11th December, and the army being in readiness to move, the first brigade, under General Valiant, of her Majesty's 40th, marched the next day towards Dholpore. On the 13th, 14th, and 15th, the rest followed. The left wing also marched, from Jhaussee ; and about the 16th, intelligence reached Gwalior of its arrival at Chaudpore Soonbaree, while the main body had appeared on the 1 bank of the Chumbul. The courage of the adverse party at Gwalior now oozed out at their fingers' ends ; the Baee, whose worthy valour had shamed the most accomplished of Scindiah's warriors, became gentle and peace-loving, and at length the great " bone of contention," if I may use so irreverent an expression, Dada Khasgee, was marched off to Dholpore, under an escort of fifty troopers. Here General Valiant's brigade found him on the 17th, and he was immediately sent to the Governor. General's (for his Lordship's inspection, I presume), and thence- to Agra, where he is now confined. Lord Ellenborough is to go on to G valior. The expense of this force will be defrayed from the revenues of territory to be ceded to us for the purpose. Mama Sahib is to be restored to the office of Minister, and the cost of the " Army of Exercise " is to be paid by the Owalior Government. No resistance is expected to the entry of our troops,, The whole of the army at present halts at Dholpore. The siege train returned to Agra. THE PUNJAUB. The Punjaub has this month pretty equally divided attention with Gwalior. No renewal of disturbances has as yet taken place, but everything seems tending to a further outbreak. The arrival at Lahore of Golab Sing, the powerful chief of Jumboo, was no. ticed last month. The number of troops which accompanied him was somewhat exaggerated : it should have been twelve instead of twenty-two thousand men. The report that he had assumed the post of Vizier in supercessior, of Heera Sing, was not in accordance with fact, since the latter chief, though deferring in important mat ters to the judgment of his uncle, never really resigned the charge of affairs. The most important events that have happened since the date of last month's accounts are, an attempt to runoff with the Ma. harajah, made by Jawahir Sing, his maternal uncle ;'violent quarrel hugs between Soochet and Heera Sing; and the sudden and some what mysterious departure of both Soochet and Golab from Lahore. The two latter occurrences' seem to have been consequent on the first. It would appear that Hecra Sing has never been liked by the Khalsa (or united Sikh people), and that a rather strong party has for some time past existed, whose object is to get rid of the minister, and raise Kashmeer Sing, an illegitimate son of Itunjeet, to the throne, putting Dhuleep, the present occupant, to death. Chund Moor, the Maharajah's mother, a shrewd woman, of energetic tempera ment seems to have suspected the two elder Rajahs of having abetted at least the latter part of this design ; and her brother, doubtless with her concurrence, attempted, on the 25th of No vember, to frustrate it, by carrying off the young prince from the palace. The thing however, was badly managed, and failed. Jawahir Sing was caught, confined in chains, and his property confiscated. Soochet Sing, who it is supposed was cognizant of the proceeding, joined Chund Moor in remonstrating against the severe punishment inflicted on her brother, arid this occasioned a fresh and violent quarrel with Heera Sing. Golab Sing, after many ineffectual attempts to reconcile his brother and nephew, at length succeeded in persuading Soochet to quit Lahore. This was agreed to, however, only on the condition of Golab accom panying him. They both left on the 4th, Golab having sent to Chund Moor, prior to his departure, and informed her that he was about to visit Jumboo, but would not snake a long stay. Soochet, it was supposed, would go to ltannuggur. The latest accounts from Lahore are to the 18th of December. The Delhi Gazette of the 23d gives detailed advices down to the 12th. The only item of importance is the dispatch of reinforcements to attack Mulick Futteh Khan, who was creating disturbances in the territory of Tank. It was announced at the du r b ar on t h e 12th that this Chief had sustained a reverse, having fled from the fort of Mutteah to the hills. "There is certainly," says the news- writer, " an' improvement in the hearing of tie Sikhs, and they now profess themselves ready to obey the orders of Ileeia Sing." General Ventura has left Lahore for Loodianah. Some 33y tha he has quitted the Punjaub far ever; others that he has proceeded on a political errand to the British authorities. The former is the more likely to be the case. The Bombay Times states that " the European residents who were about to cross the frontier, and seek shelter in the Company's dominions, entertained no doubt that the British Government would very shortly be compelled to in. tcrfere." Mow that the Gwalior affair is settled, we may shortly expect to hear the question of interference in the affairs of the Punjaub decided. Lord Ellenhorough, I think, is not the man to remain quiescent at the had of such a force as the army of exercise,"and with a tempting bait like the runjauh to lure him to war. SINDE Our intelligence from Sinde this month again chiefly relates to the sickness of the troops. It is comforting to know that arrange ments are in progress for the withdrawal of the invalids, the whole of whom, to the number of three or fuur thousand, are to come to Bombay. Their place, it is s rid, is to be supplied by a brigade of Madras troops; but probably, now that Gwalior is tranquillised, the Bengal regiments originally ordered to garrison the province will be permitted to proceed to their destination. The Bombay Government has latterly evinced the greatest activity in furnishing medical aid. " General Napier," says the Bombay Timcs, "is said to have expressed his determination to part with no troops, whatever their condition, until reinforced by a corresponding number of efficient men." If this be the case, the arrangements for the removal of the sick cannot proceed very rapidly. The following movements of troops have taken place:—The left wing of the 21st Native Infantry has dropped down the Indus from Hyderabad, and proceeded to Kurrachee. The right wing will folio,, and the whole come to Bombay. The remnant of the 2d Europeans has been withdrawn from Mandavie to Kurrachee. Some portion of the men have arrived in Bombay, whither the whole regiment is to come preparatory to proceeding to Belgaum, to take the place of her Majesty's 86th, which relieves them in Sinde. The head-quarter wing of the 18th Native Infantry has arrived in Bombay from Baroda, for embarkation to Kurrachee, and the left wing —now at Khow--will soon follow. The remainder of the 78th Highlanders leave with the 18th Native Infantry. Leslie's troop of horse artillery, and Whitlie's battery have re. turned to the Presidency, and the former has proceeded to the Deccan. The 13th Native Infantry, sent some time since from Bombay, has arrived at Hyderabad. Her Majesty's 13th Light Infaiity is en route to Sukkur from Ferozepore. Among the officers who had died were Major Roberts, Dr. Pollard, and Captain Woodburn. The latter expired on the 20th of December, on board the steamer in which he was proceeding to the mouth of the Indus, for the purpose of coming to Bombay. Of military movements, or political events, there Is little to tell. General Simpson, who went across the Indus with the 25th Native Infantry and the Sth Native Infantry, two guns, and 50 horse, for the purpose of punishing some Belochee plunders and cattle stealers, as well as to settle the boundary on that side of the river, returned to camp on the llth, having met with no enemy. The Governor of Sinde about shortly to return to Hyderabad from Kurrachee. He now has the northern division of the army immediately at his disposal. lIERAT. The three nephews of Tar Mahomed, late Vizier, but now appa. rently ruler, of Herat, have quarrelled with their uncle, and joined the two sons of the late Shah Kamran, against him. The fol lowers of the five young men assembled their followers and be sieged Herat. A conflict ensued outside the walls, the result of which was, that the " sirdars and princes, being victorious, suc ceeded in shutting up Yar Mahomed in the fon." NEPAUL AND OUDE. There have been some hostile collisions between the people of Oude and the Nepaulese, and the disputes between the two Go. vernments are of a nature so serious, that it is believed the inter. Terence of the British will be necessary. A shert time ago the troops at Cawnpore were ordered to hold themselves in readiness for ser. vice, and it was believed hostilies were contemplated. Nothing, however, was done. The Delhi Gazette of the 23d December, received this morning, intimates that orders have been issued for the instant march towards Etawah (on the Jumna, in the Dooab, between Gwalior and Oude) of the following troops : —" A wing and head quarters of the I lth Inlantry, an effective troop of her Majesty's 9th Lancers, another of the 11th Light Cavalry, and two nine-pounder guns. manned b) a detail of the third company's 7th battalion, the whole under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Scott, of the I Ith Infantry.' The 12th In fantry, and the right wing of the 18th, are likely also to leave Lucknow for Etawah. Sir 'William Nott has temporarily resigned the residentship at Lucknow, on the score of ill health, and Sir G. Pollock has succeeded him. AFFGIIANISTAN. We have this month a considerable amount of interesting intel ligence from Caubul. Dost fdahoined still remains on the throne, but is esteemed as little as before by those around him. Ile op presses the people as much as ever, and there continues to be a very strong feeling against him. Great difficulty is experienced in collecting the revenues from the various districts—the inhabi tants in many places resisting those sent for the purpose sword in hand. Ufzul Khan, one of the Dost's sone, while out cn an ex cursion of this kind, sustained a severe defeat at the hands of the people of the Bungush country. Akbar Khan has returned to Cabul. His object in proceeding to Jellalabad was not to attack Peshawur ; nor does there seem any likelihood of such a movement at present, either on his part or that of the Dost. The following extracts from the latest news.lettcr from Cabul will well repay perusal. The date of the communication is 10th to 13th November : " Wuzeer Yar Mahomed, at present ruler of Herat, and late chief minister of Shah Kamran, has addressed a friendly letter to Dost Mahomed, through the Sirdars of Kandahar, with ten Persian horses, and a sword inlaid with jewels, as a:present, and it is believed that being anxious to cultivate the Wuzeer's good graces, Dost Mahomed, will, in return, dispatch Ameer Mahomed Akhoonzada to Herat with a gift." " The son of the ruler of Shuhur Subz has arrived at Cabul to pay his respects to Dost Mahomed, and to cement a friendship be. tween him and his_ father. He is the same person who assisted Dost Mahomed, when a prisoner at Bokhara, in effecting his escape and getting clear oft On his arrival in the vicinity of Cabul, Dost Mahomed sent his son with an escort of cavalry to receive him with honour and every demonstration of kindness, and bring him in to the city. It has been reported in the town of Cabul, by some persons arrived from Kandahar, that Meer Dil Khan was about to leave that place with a few suwars to visit Dost Mahomed, to com municate confidentially with him regarding some important affairs. It is also said that the son of Mahomed Morad Beg, ruler of Kunzez, may be shortly expected at Cabul, on a visit also of an important nature." CHINA. (From the Bombay Overland Courier). We last mouth gave news from China to the 30th of October, and our present advices extend to the let of December, having been brought by her Majesty's steamer Spiteful, which left Hong. Kong on that day. The most prominent points of the intelligence are signing of the supplementary treaty, the occurrence of a large and destructive fire at Canton, and the death of Major E Pottinger. The treaty was signed on Sunday, the Sth of October, in a building erected for the occasion near the Anunghoy fort, and not far, it is said, from where the opium was destroyed by Lin. Sir Henry Pottinger bad proceeded thither the previous evening, accompanied by his suite and several other gentlemen ; and after the signatures of the two Chinese officers, the Imperial Comniissioner Keying, and the Governor of Canton, Ke Kung, to gether with that of her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, had been duly affixed to the document, the whole party were regaled with a dinner. They returned to Macao Roads the same night. The Emperor had consented to ratify the treaty without waiting for her Majesty's ratification, and a copy was accordingly dispatched to Pekin for that purpose. This, on its return, would be dispatched to England; and it was expected to be received by the 20th December. Kijor Eldred Pottinger, who had arrived in China on a visit to Sir Henry, was selected as the bearer, and would have left in that capacity, had he not unhappily fallen a vic tim to disease at Hong-Kong. He expired at Government House, Victoria, on the 15th of November. "It were needless," says the Friend of China, " to pass an eulogy upon the character or merits of the Hero of Herat and Caubul; his name will be en rolled by posterity amongst the foremost of those who, by their prudence, talent, and bravery, have served their country in emer gencies which had appalled less noble minds." The Supplementary Treaty is promulgated by the Plenipotentiary, and to which, until the treaty itself is "duly ratified, exchanged, and published," obedience is strictly enjoined. We also give a number of official documents of different descriptions, comprising proclamations and notifications both from the British and Chinese au. thorities. The Government of India has been famed for Its proclamations ; but the Government of Hong-Kong seems to surpass it immeasurably. Short as has been the period of the latter's existence, its " State papers" would already, we should think, form a portly volume. Amongst the documents to which we allude, the most important are :—A Government notification, under date 4th October, calling the attention of the " Masters, Owners, and Consignee s" of all merchant vessels sailing under British colours, to the law for mer. chant seamen, commonly called Sir James Graham's Act ; a pro clamation by the Imperial Commissioner, and his colleagues, de. elating " that the warehouses belonging to the new merchants (outside men), and those which appertain to tho old merchants (1. e. Hong merchants), are now to be considered identical, without any difference whatsoever," and the object of which also is " to encour age and promote a wider extension of the trade, inasmuch as the merchants of all nations resort to the province of Cat.ton for the purposes of traffic ;" a proclamation by Sir Henry Pottinger, pub. lishing an order by the Queen in Council, and copies of a commu nication received from the Imperial Commissioner, and of the reply afforded to it, relative to the resort of merchant vessels to other ports than these thrown open by the treaty, a thing which, as our readers are aware, has been expressly forbidden ; and filially, a " General Memorandum," addressed to the Commanders of her Majesty's vessels, and those of the Indian navy, in the China seas, calling attention to such parts of the Plenipotentiary's proclama tion last noticed as impose particular duties on the naval force. The Hong merchants have again petitioned Ke Kung, the Gover nor-General of Canton, on the subject of their debts and liabili ties ; but their memorialcontains nothing worthy of special notice beyond a modest request that Government would lery contribu tions on the merchants engaged in trade under the new system, to aid in releasing them from their pecuniary obligations. The Go vernor of Canton, in reply, informs them that their suggestion can not be complied with, and recommends them to cease petitioning, and wait patiently till proper officers are appointed to give the matter deliberation. The latest accounts describe trade at Canton as having slightly recovered from its late depression, a circumstance owing to the relaxation in some measure of the injudicious regulations which formerly trammelled it. The Chinese Government, it is believed, intends remitting its claims, to a good extent, on the Hong mer chards, and this act of consideration, should it really be bestowed, will no doubt tend greatly to improve the state of commercial al. fairs. The fire, which took place on the 24th and 25th of Deter. ber, completely destroyed the Danish and Spanish Hongs, and a portion of the French, together with about twelve hundred houses, and a vast amount of property of every description. The British Consulate was burnt out, but the papers were saved. It is esti. mated that the value of the goods belonging to the Chinese, which were lost during the tire, amounts to 300,000 dollars. Another fire broke out on the 26th, but was fortunately got under before any considerable injury was done. Reason exists to believe that both were the acts of incendiaries. The ground formerly occu. pied by the British and Dutch factories has been rented by the British authorities, who propose erecting thereupon the necessary Consular offices, and letting the remainder to private parties. The Consuls for Amoy and Shanghai have arrived at their desti. nations. Henry Gribble, Esq., is Consul for Amoy; Captain G. Balfour, of the Madras artillery, for Shanghai. R. Thorn, Esq., has been appointed off►ciating Consul at Ningpo, and by the last accounts had proceeded, or was about to proceed, to the scene of his duties. The importation of goods at Ningpo, even according to the new Ural, is prohibited pending his arrival. Trade at Chusan had been active, but by the latest advices was rather fiat. No Consul has at yet been appointed at Foo.chow.foo. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Overland Price Current, Jan. 1.) A fair extent of business has been done since our last, but owing to the heavy importations of many articles, combined with a dimi nution in the number of buyers, attributable to the continued un settled state ofthe Punjaub, prices have in several instances some what receded. Mr.TALs.--There is little alteration to notice in the prices of copper. Tile braziers, and raised bottoms are in fair demand at our quotations.
