exertion than by anything that the Government can do. I have a firm conviction that if peace and tranquillity were restored in Ireland, no part of the British empire would make such rapid progress in prosperity.—( Loud cheers.) There are fsuilities and opportunities for improvement in that country, which, I believe, would cause it to advance more It:II: s in prosperity than any other portion of the empire.— ( .) I conclude by expressing an earnest hope that this agitation, and all the evil consequences that follow from it, will be permitted to subside.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.")

(The Right Hon. Gentleman eat down amidst the loud and long-continued cheering of the Ministerial benches.) !Sir Valentine Blake, Lord John Russell, and Mr. Roche, food up together, for the purpose of addressing the House , but t ne Noble Lord arid the Hon. Member for Cork gave way to Sir VALENTINE BLAKE, who attempted to address the House several times, but at each attempt was met with such shouts as " Divide, divide," " Spoke, spoke," " Lord John Russell," that the Hon. Gentleman was obliged to sit down, after having moved the adjournment of the debate, amidst con- Ititir sable laughter, and cries of " Oh, oh." 'Mr. ROCHE said he rose for the purpose of seconding the tnetion of the Honourable Baronet who had just sat down, and, usder present circumstances, he would not attempt anything so unreasonable, but the House would recol lect that the party with which he and the Hon. Baronet were connected, had been accused bet the Right Hon. Baronet of a crane the grossest that human nature could be guilty ef, • iely, that of willingly deluding their countrymen by a wilful Fior eversion of history . .—(Laughter, and cries of "Oh , oh.") nsidering the position which he held with regard to Ireland, le did not think it would be very unreasonable to trespass won the attention of the House for a few minutes.—(Cheers.) 'She Right Hon. Baronet had represented his Learned Col league as saying that the Parliament which existed before 1600 was a desirable one, and he charged them with wishing to restore a corrupt Legislature. What his Hen. and Learned Friend had said was, that in the 18 yeara previous to 1800 so country had made such strides in advancement as Ireland.—( Hear, hear.) Why did not the Right Hon. Baronet controvert his Hon. Friend's statements with regard to the subsequent acts of the Legislature towards Ireland? He thought that such a course would have been more appropriate. He regretted that the Right Hon. Baronet did not give them more hopes for Ireland—that instead of flinging unworthy appellations at the agitators, he did not grapple with the grievances which made them agitators.— ( Hear, hear.) He might depend upon it, that if he did not grapple with them, they would grapple with him. —(Hear, hear, and cheers.) They were agitators, he would never deny it; and he was sorry to say that they were likely to continue agitators, for there appeared to be no disposition on the part of the powerful majority in that House to take from them their spell.—( Hear, hear.) 'f he motion for the adjournment was then withdrawn. Lord J. RUSSELL, in rising to iwply, said that in the ex hausted state of the House he would not address them at any great length, but there were some points which had bees raised in the debate, to which he could not avoid adverting. The Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary of State, for the Hums Department, had taunted him with the course which he had taken on that occasion. Now, he had stated last year, his opinion with respect to repeal, and the repeal agitation, but he did think the period when Mr. O'Connell was convicted - in a Court of Law was not the proper period for saying any thing disparaging of that Hon. and Learned Gentleman. He had stated when the country was to a large extent confided to his care the preservation of the peace was essentially aided by the course which Mr. O'Connell took with regard to the Chartists and the trades' associations.—( Hear, hear.) He should diver regret that he had subjected himself to that imputation, for if any thing could be said in favour of tore course which Mr. O'Connell had pursued for the preservation ef the peace of the country, he thought that the present was the moment for saying it.—(Loud cheers.) The Right Hon. Gentleman had said , that he ( Lord John Russell) must wish to see his motion defeated, because if he had not, said the Right Hon. Gentleman, he would have proposed resolutions at once for the yurpose of bringing under the consideration of the douse measures to remedy the grievances of Ireland. He • could not, however, but recolleet that such a trotionhad been proposed in the course of last ses sion by an Irish representative, had been treated as a vote of censure on the Government, and rejected. He was, therefore, perfectly justified:in bringing.ferward the present motion. The Right Hun. Secretary for the Home Department in speaking of his (Lord J. Russell's) observations with regard to Lord Lyndhurst had left out the purpose for which those observations had been made. The traversers in Ireland had been indicted for attempting to excite feelings of ill-will in the minds of the people of Ireland against the people of Eng land, and i s _object was to show that Lord Lyndhurst, the Noble Lord 7h7 Secretary for the Colonies, and Mr. Bradshaw, (perhaps he might as *6ll have left his name out), had pre viously used expressions tending to irritate the people of Eng land against the people of Ireland.—(Cheers.) Lord STANLEY—What words did I make use of ? Lord J. RUSSELL—The words used by the Noble Lord were " minions of Popery." L or d STANLEY— T hose were not my words. They were cited ,by me as used by the Hon. Member for St. Alban's , on the other side, and were never applied to Catholics at all— (Ministerial cheering)—but to the Noble Lord and the mem bers of the Government who acted with him.—(Cheers and counter cheers.) The denial that the words were ever used by me, was made last session ; and if the Noble Lord will re fer to the debates, he will see that they were never used by me except as a quotation from the Hon. Gentleman opposite, and were never applied to Roman Catholics at all. Lord JOHN RUSSELL was not aware that the Noble Lord had made this explanation last session. He had stated that the words had been used by the Hon. Member fur Wood stock, but the adoption of those words by the Noble Lord— Lord STANLEY—I never adopted the words.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.'`) Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought it extremely strange, if the words had never been used that they should have been quoted in the sense they had been by the Hon. Member for Slitffield. But with respect to Lord Lyndhurst, he had said nothing a.gainst that Noble Lord's character ; no one could have a higher opinion of. that Noble Lord's talents than he bad; but he contended that it was his hostility to Ireland which had procured him his present office. He had spoken of his carelessness in the performance of his judicial duties. Perhaps that was an ill-considered expression ; but he considered that the Noble Lord was more indebted for . his high station to his political talents than to his judgments in the Court of Equity ; and with regard to the charge of judicial carelessness, none of those who had spoken on the other side had taken the pains to contradict that, nor had any one thought proper to defend the charge of the Chief Justice. The Attorney-Ge neral far Ireland, who had passed a high panegyric upon that eminent person, would, he thought, have praised him for the display of that calmness and sobriety . of demeanour which be came a judge in the exercise of his judicial functions • but the Right Honourable Attorney-General had completely passed by the charge without observation. The Right Hon. Gentle man, at the commencement of his speech, had stated that he should not speak with the acrimony which he (Lord J. Rus sell) had used, but with great temper and forbearance. Then the Right Hon. Gentleman went on to say, after some description of what hts conduct had been, that he would rather have cut off his right hand than have retained office in the circumstances under which they (the late Administration) retained office; and, with respect To Lord Plunket, he (Lord John Russell) could not help thinking that the Right Hen. Gentlemen's expressions savoured of some of that acrimony which he had attributed to him (Lord John Russell). Sterne of the circumstances connected with the retirement of Lord Plunket he would now mention. It had been stated to Lord Melbourne, that Lord Plunket at his then advanced age, was desirous of relinquishing his post. Lord Campbell •wished to know, as the dissolution was about to take place, if he should go and stand as a candidate at the elec tion for Edinburgh. Lord Melbourne, on Lord Plunket's desire to retire being communicated to him, directed that the Attorney-General should be made Lord Chancellor of Ireland. A few days after that had been communicated to Lord Campbell, it was ascertained that Lord Plunket was not desirous to retire. Subsequently it was ascertained that Lord Plunket would retire, and then Lord Campbell went to Ireland. No disrespect was ever intended to Lord Plunket. He (Lord John Russell) had always considered that Lord Plunket was the most eloquent man he had ever heard in Parliament. But with re gard to Ireland the measures that would sustain autho rity which they proposed were always supported by gentlemen opposite; Ade those measures which would conciliate the people of that country, and tend to restore tranquil lity, were invariably obstructed by them. The Right Hon. Gentleman had alluded to the Coercion Bill. Did he disapprove of that measure? If he did, he could much better get an account of the details of it from the Noble Lord (Lord Stanley) near him, as he was then Secretary for Ireland, than from any other person . The great reason which he (Lord J. Russell) had for the in troduction of this PAU was, for the protection of property and the prevention ofoutrage and murder in the rural districts, and for no abstract motive, and on these grounds he gave full con sent to it.—( Hear, hear.) The Right Honourable Gentleman had spdken of his Landlord and Tenant Commission in Ireland. He (Lord John Russell) looked upon that Commission with some doubt. The Right Hon. Gentleman roust admit that it was calculated to disturb the public mind, by raising indefinite eapeetations in Ireland on the subject of tenautcy. He (Lord John Russell) could not forget that when Mr. Drum mond used the expression that property had its dna, as well as it,, rights, it drew down a strong lecture from the Right Honourable Baron et o pp osite ; and now he (L or d J. Russell) had heard with some surprise the Right Hon. Baronet declare that one of the objects of the Commission would be to bring to light the abuses of this syetem. The Right Hon. Baronet had spoken of the great question of the Church, but he could not support the Right Hon. Baronet's views on that subject. It had been said that the Charch was meant for the instruction of the people, but in one case of which he read to-day, there was only one Protestant in t h e parish, and bow could that clergyman be called the instructor of the people wbeeld not the slightest communion with thousands ef CAA° is his parish ? He thought there could be no doubt about the feasibility . of paying the Catholic c lergy ) by i the State, when in the year 1825, D r . consented to the adoption of such a measure. The Rig h tY Doyle Honourable Gentleman had said that he (Lord John Rus sell) had been very careful not to put his moti o n in su4l3 a manner as should commit him to any particular course if he were a ga in to come into office. Now, considering that he (Lord J. Russell) had proposed the extension of the franchise in Ireland, both Parliamentary and municipal, an increased grant to Maynooth, and a perfect equality in civil rights with England, he did not think that, during the ten years when the Right Honourable Gentleman was out of office, he had proposed any uvastires so distinct and so oomprehensive.—(Cheers.) The liable Lord the Secretary for the Colonies cautioned him to w h well the responsibity of bringirlfsorward this motion i . He ("Lord John Russell) thought there ibuch less respons bility In making the motion than in leaving the state of Ireland undiseussed. If he had not brought forward this motion the repeal party would be strengthened. It would be said, that no matter how Ireland was governed, it would give no concern to the English Parliament—that the House was very busy about the Horse-racing Bill, but that it was nothing to them what was done in Ireland.—( Cheers.) The whole course of the debate appeared, on one side and the other, to induce the people to think that their case would be considered in the English House of Commons.—( Hear, hear.) The manner in which he had been supported, and in which the debate had been conducted, would show the Irish people that to - that House their petitions should be addressed, and RAL for the mild and conciliatory manner in which he had expressed himself, and then proceeded to discuss the question brought forward by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The Irish State trials formed one of the main topics of his speech, and, in that respect ho only followed the example of his pre decessors. The result of these trials, he said, had no moral effect. One opinion, however, he expressed, in which every Englishman, Scotsman, and most Irishmen will agree—he could not conceive a greater mischief that could happen to Ireland than repeal, except the continuance of a military govern ment. This is an honourable admission from one who took such a strong interest in the Canadian in surrection. their grievances should be considered. He thou g ht • that - his proposition would tend to unite them more and more with the English nation. He greatly regretted that recriminations should be introduced into the debate and be was sorry that the Noble Lord had thought proper to read the terms of the Catholic oath.—(Cheers.) Who could mistake the meaning of the Noble Lord ?—( Cheers. ) What would the Noble Lord say if be were a witness in a court of justice, and au acrimonious lawyer were to remind him em phatically that he was sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth ? Would he not think that it was intended to insinuate that he required the caution ? —(Cheers.) What else could be the feeling of the Roman Catholics—(Hear, hear) --and must it not be an encouragement to others who were less informed than the Noble Lord, and who were too apt to assert that the Catholics ought not to be in Parliament, because they did not regard an oath ? ( Hear, hear.) He was far from wishing to hurt the feelings of the Noble Lord, or injure him in the estimation of the public. On the contrary, he held the Noble Lord in the highest esteem, and when he was invited by Lord Melbourne to take the lead of their party in that House, when his Noble Friend succeeded, he expressed his wish that the Noble Lord would return to the party with whom he had acted in early life, when he (Lord J. Russell) would be perfectly willing to follow him as leader— ( Cries of ' Hear, hear")—but he thought that with the Noble Lord's talent and influence he ought to be careful how he increased the unfriendly feelings between the different classes of the people. It was necessary that they should give a frank aid full confidence to the Roman Catholics so as to end these melancholy distinctions.—(Cheers, and cries of " Di vide, divide.") Strangers were ordered to withdraw. The House then divided, when there:appeared— Against the motion 324 For the motion Majority against the motion The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Four o'Clock.

For the motion .. 225 Against it Majority against the motion -99 The debate on the Irish question, after a nine nights discussion, was brought to a close last night. It has been, on the whole, an interesting and ani mated, and—as the result, we trust, will show—a useful, debate. As regards ability, the preponderance has been decidedly on the side of the Opposition, for without meaning to deny the skill and ingenuity dis played in the speeches of Lord STANLEY, Sir RonauT PEEL, and the Attorney-General for Ireland, we must say that no Ministerial display of eloquence has at all equalled, or even come near, those made by Messrs. MACAULAY, SIIEIL, Sir T. WILDE, Lord Join RusSELL, and Lord Flowic K. Of Mr. O'CoNNLLL's speech last night it may be stated with perfect truth, that, without affecting any lofty or impassioned rhetorical flights, it was just the sort of speech suited to the occasion—manly, calm, argumentative, and characterised by a tone almost amounting to the conciliatory. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman frankly and fairly stated his opinions of some of the proposed remedial measures of Govern ment, and alluding, in particular, to the franchise, said—" You must make regulations for insisting on the residence of freemen ; they should reside for three ITER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

If you insist on the residence of freemen, you will have made a very useful change. The county franchise, too, is, I am told, to be altered. You should give us the beneficial interest franchise. The solvent test franchise would annihilate the county constituency of Ireland. We are a poor country, and if you do anything, you should do it generously, and do it at once. You should give us a franchise equally potential with that in England, so as to have a con stituency of the Irish counties equal in propor tion to the population of that of the Eng lish counties. If you legislate for us justly, I shall hail your measure with satisfaction ; but we must have no restriction of the franchise. We will meet you cordially, if you will meet us cordially." On the landlord-and-tenant question, Mr. O'CoNNELL remarked that if the law were restored to the state in which it was before the union, the landlord would have no right to complain ; and with respect to absenteeism, he added—"it ought to be punished as a crime. You ought to impose an absentee-tax. Lay a heavy impost on the absentee landlord in England, so as to drive him back to the interests of his wretched serfs." The Hon. and Learned Member cloSed his speech by some pertinent and forcible com ments on the manifest injustice of maintaining the present enormous Protestant Establishment in Ire land. Sir R. PEEL, who rose immediately after Mr. O'CoNNELL, devoted a great portion of his speech to an attack on Lord JOHN RUSSELL, for having spoken in disparaging terms of the Chancellor, and to an explanation of. the conduct of Government, as re garded their interference with the repeal monster meetings. his explanation on this point was scarcely necessary, for Sir JA➢LEs Gnenasi had already travelled over the same ground, and the Premier did little more than echo his statements. On the subject of the Landlord .and Tenant Commission, he stated that it was intended to make, not a partial and super ficial, but an honest, searching inquiry, into the matter ; and with respect to the franchise, he remarked, " I think it ought to be sub stantially equal with that of Great Britain. I do not say that .there should be an identity of franchise between the two countries, be cause that is impossible'; but this much I will say, that, with regard to the Irish franchise, I think it ought to be substantially equal with that of Great Britain." With reference to the Protestant Church — the monster-grievance of Ireland—Sir ROBERT PEEL spoke out with far more energy and decision than he is usually in the habit of exhibiting. " I come to the conclusion," he said, " founding my self upon compacts, on authority, and on the convictions of -my own mind, that the best course—and the course which I for one, as far as my humble powers can effect it—the Govern ment can pursue, is, to maintain in its integrity the Protestant Church Establishment." This declaration is decided and straightforward enough—there is no fault to be found with it on that score—but unfor tunately it is decided and straightforward on the wrong side. So long as the Protestant Establishment continues on its present footing, there can be no sure guarantee for Irish tranquillity. The race of agitators is only to be extinguished by the extinction of, or at any rate by a searching, comprehensive reform in, the existing Protestant Church in the sister country. We close our comments on the debate by remarking that the remedial measures proposed by Government for the pacification of Ireland, are passable enough in their way, but are by no means characterised by sufficient comprehensiveness and liberality to meet the emergency of the case. Much more must be done ere there can be the slightest hope that the Repeal agitation will die away into insignificance. Meantime thus much good has been affected by the debate—it has shown Ireland that she has a far more numerous body of staunch friends in the House of Commons than she ever supposed she possessed ; and we trust, therefore, that in future we shall hear less about " the vile, brutal, arbitrary Saxons 1" THEATRE ROYAL, HAYMARKET.

DISCOVERY OF THE HALVES or NOTES TO THE AMOUNT op 1451. —Yesterday Mary Mitchell, a poor woman living at No. 46, Hereford-street, Lisson-grove, stated to Mr. Long, at the Mary along police-office, that on Wednesday evening last, as she was walking along Drummond.street, near the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway, she picked up from the pavement a paper parcel sealed, and on its being opened it was found to contain the halves of notes to the amount of 1451. She was anxious that they might be restored to their rightful owner, and -vith that view she had made the matter known to the magis trate. The parcel now remains at the Court, and it is hoped that the finder will be rewarded for her honesty. TILE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRITARY ght, 1R4,4, MARKET NE WS.-(1 1 HIS DAY.)

Scarcely nny effect was produced upon the Funds by the decision, and hopes are now entertained that the real business of the country will be actively proceeded proceeded with.

LONDON INSTITUTION.—The soirees at this institu tion have always been in great favour with the proprietors and their friends, and have never failed of being very well attended. The managers have this season been at great pains to increase their interest, and with good success. A spirit and life seems to be now pervading these reunions, which is very often wanting at such meetings, and without which a flat insipidity invariably steals over the scene. As heretofore, there is a promenade in the library, where tea and coffee are provided from seven to eight o'clock. The tables are furnished with objects of interest in art and science, and the walls with paintings, &c. At eight o'clock there is a lecture in the theatre of the institution, after which the company return to the library. On Wednesday last, the second soirée of the season was held. The tables were well furnished with specimens. Among the pictures were two originals by Edwin Lanseer, exhibited by Jacob Bell, which excited considerable interest. The lecture was by Mr. Brand°, on those curious chemical phenomena of which fermentation is one, known under the name of actions by contact or presence, or otherwise called catalytic actions. The experiments selected for illustrating the ordinary pheno mena of chemical action, as also of the influence of aggrega tion, were very appropriate —so, likewise, were those illustra tive of mere contact action. They very clearly demonstrated that there are two characters of chemical action, one in which the acting body acts on account of the changes it un dergoes, the other in which it acts by its mere presence, withot* undergoing any change. We entirely approve of the subject of this lecture. It was very interesting to the listeners generally, and it was very instructive, inasmuch as it presented them with exceedingly clear and sound ideas of phenomena which are daily occurring around them, but of which the large mass of us are apt to be ignorant., unless re minded by 'some such lecture as this. SUICIDE AT BLACKYRIARS-BRIDGE.---Abollt half past two o'clock this morning a respectably-dressed woman, about 25 years of age, was observed by the policemen on duty to be lingering about the bridge as if waiting for some one. She was seen at the above time by City police-constable 329, who having passed her about 20 yards, saw her deliberately mount the parapet of the bridge near the centre, on the east a id e, an d plume into the river. lie gave an alarm, but in consequence of the boats being secured, considerable delay took place, and before he could reach her she had sunk and was carried away by the stream. DUBLIN, Fin. 22.—About seven o'clock on Sunday evening, an incendiary fire was committed at Tynte-park, near Duulavin, the residence of Tynte Pratt, Esq. The haggard of that gentleman was set on fire, and 160 barrels of oats, and a mare and foal were destroyed. The premises and a quantity of hay were saved only by the exertions of the country people, who flocked in from all quarters, and remained up all night in preventing the ex tension of the fire. Cris **posed that the Outrage was the result of istivete POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Inspector Evans, of the L division, gave information of the sud•ten death of a gentleman in a public-house, on the pre ceding afternoon, under very awful circumstances. The Inspector stated that a gentleman, named Burrows, residing at South Lambeth, met a female in the Borough, between three and four o'clock on the preceding afternoon, and they walked together until they arrived at the Crown public-house in Westminster-road, which house they entered together. They walked up stairs into a room on the first floor, and called for a glass of gin and water, and Mr. Burrows had just tasted the liquor, when his companion ob served that he changed colour, and immediately fell off the chair on the. floor. She immediately rang the bell, and the landlord coining up, and seeing the condition of the gentle man, immediately called in medical aid, but he expired al most instantaneously. A policeman having been apprised of the circumstance, took possession; of the deceased's pro perty—consisting of a gold watch and chain, a purse contain ing a considerable sum of money, and-Some small silver arti cles. The landlord and the•female who was in the company of the deceased at the time ho expired, accompanied the policeman to the station-house, and the woman who, it ap pears, is a widow, and lives in Snow's-fields, had been for some time acquainted with the deceased, who had been formerly in the army, and was described to be about 60 years of age. CLERKENWELL-(THIS DAY.) REPORTING AT POLICE COURTS.—When the morning charges were disposed of, Mr. GREENwoon said his attention had been accidentally directed to a report of an occurrence at this Court in the Illustrated London News. He wished to know in the first instance whether atiything occurred before Mr. Combe regarding the case. Mr. Mallet (the chief clerk) said nothing whatever had occurred on the subject since the day on which the affair took place. Mr. GREENWOOD—Then the report in this newspaper is grossly incorrect. (The Magistrate handed the newspaper to the chief clerk r who having perused the report, said it was full of misrepresentations from beginning to end. The reporter of The Sun begged to say that he had not furnished a report of the occurrence to any .newspaper. As the postman's conduct was about to be made the subject of investigation before the Postmaster-General, he thought any newspaper statement previously to that investigation might create an unfavourable and unfair prejudice against him. Mr. Gitintiswoop—You were the only gentleman from the press who was in Court at the time, and I am sure you will agree with me in saying that no part of the occurrence took place outside the Court. • You confirmed the statement made by the gaoler regarding the conduct of the postman. The Reporter said the whole affair took place within the Court. Mr. GREENWOOD, after some further observations on the incorrectness of the report, let the matter drop. - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The Bishop of EXETER moved for a Select Com mittee to inquire into the state of religious worship and spiritual instruction in the union workhouses in England and Wales. The speech of this Puseyite Prelate was what might have been expected. It was all Church, and full of hostility to Dissenters. He wished, as a matter of course, to raise the au thority of the Church above all other authorities, and told the Government, that if they refused a Com mittee of Inquiry the glory of the Ministry would be eclipsed. The Committee was refused, for the motion was negatived without a division. We refer our readers to the report to show what priests can do. The House adjourned at Half-past Seven. In the Commons, Mr. C. RUSSELL moved the second reading of the Newbury and Great Western Railway Bill. Sir WM. HEATHCOTE opposed the motion, un less he had a clear understanding from Mr. RUSSELL that no opposition would be made to another com peting line, that by the South Western Company from Basingstoke to Newbury. A brief discussion took place. Mr. GLADSTONE thought the second reading of the Bill should be deferred for a fortnight, and Mr. C. RUSSELL had no objection. The second reading was accordingly postponed for a fortnight. Capt. PECHELL gave notice that on Thursday next he should make a 'motion relative to defaulters in the payment of assessed taxes. On the motion of Sir J. GRAHAM, after some ex planation with regard to the Gilbert Unions, the Poor-law Amendment Bill was read a second time, with an understanding that the discussion on the Bill was to take place on going into Committee. In answer to a question from Mr. WALLACE, Sir G. CLERK said that the Government had given di rections, hireference to the free-postage paper, to have a certain number of half-sheets prepared, as an , experiment, which would be ready in a few days for F delivery. The papers would be sold at 2s. 3d. a quire, and lid. each. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL resumed the debate on the state of Ireland. The greater part of his speech referred to the mode of conducting the State trials in Ireland, and to the course which he had pursued under similar circumstances in England, and was distinguished by great moderation and good feeling towards his opponents. Mr. ROEBUCK complimented the ATTORNET.CIENE- SUMMARY OF NEWS AND VUlaitt Optaton. " Who runs may read." YOREXGZT. We have accounts from llairid to the 16th, and from Paris to the 22d, a brief outline of which will be found under the proper heads. A Lyons journal of the 20th announces the arrival of Queen Christina in that city in the evening of the 19th, by the Hirondelle steamer. She was received by the Prefect and other authorities. A letter from Beyrout, dated 17th of January, states that a general insurrection is on the point of bursting forth in the Lebanon. The roads are insecure, and the persons employed in tillage are compelled to bear with them fire-arms for their protection, whilst trade is utterly extinguished. The unhappy Maronites of Kasseronan are suffering, it is affirmed, unheard of vexations. We learn from Stuttgard that the revenue of the kingdom of Wirtemberg, from Ist July, 1842, to 31st June, 1843, ex ceeded by nearly two millions of florins the expenditure dur ing the same period. This favourable result is ascribed chiefly to the admirable administration of the finance introduced under the Government of the present King of Wirtemberg, by which his Majesty has completely fulfilled the promise which he made on his accession to the throne in these words —" My people shall know for what they pay taxes." LAW AND POLICE. In the case of Turpin v. Heald heard in the Court of Queen's Bench, which was an action upon a policy of in surance effected upon a vessel called the Theresa, as well as upon her furniture and cargo lost on a voyage from New castle to Rio de Janeiro. The verdict was for the plaintiff. The particulars were fully stated in The Sun on Friday. The evidence was contradictory. Upon one hand, it was stated that the vessel in 1841 was classed A.E., 1. ; that she had undergone a general survey in that year, and that her destruction off Dungeness was owing exclusively to the vio lence of the storm by which she was assailed. It was de posed, upon the other side, that the manner in which the storm affected the vessel showed that she was not seaworthy, and that she was managed in such a way as to increase the injurious effects of the storm.: The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the whole amount of the claim under the several heads, with interest, amounting altogether to something more thanl,ooo/. In the Court of Bankruptcy, Sir C. F. Williams gave ,judg ment in the case of David Hannay, formerly manager and director of the Marylebone Joint-Stock Bank, and decided that the certificate of the bankrupt must be supended for two years from the date of his passing his last examination, which was in the month of February, 1843. The chief grounds on which this decision was based were, that he had not in his dealing between the bank and himself kept a proper cash account, that he had been extravagant, and had made pre ferences in the settlement of the claims of the creditors who were relatives. In the case of Fry and Chapman's bankruptcy a further dividend was declared under the joint estate. The bank rupts carried on business as bankers in St. Mildred's-court, Poultry, and failed at the latter end of 1828. Dividends to the extent of 4s. Hid. in the pound had already been paid, and the amount declared on Friday was 6d., the time for the payment of which will be shortly declared through the usual official channel. Each of the separate estates has paid 20s. in the pound, leaving a surplus for the benefit of the joint cre ditors. The total proofs admitted under this bankruptcy amount to 398,102/. Os. 7d. Wm. Smart, described as a gentleman of forthne, was in dicted at the Westminster Sessions for assaulting Jeremiah Collins, on the 27th of Dec. last. On crossing Grosvenor street on the day stated, the complainant was ridden against by the defendant, and nearly knocked down. Complainant observed that if defendant could not ride with more 'care, lie was not fit to be entrusted with a horse. Defendant then dis mounted, and attacked the prosecutor with his riding-whip. The defence set up was, that the prosecutor was the first aggressor. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he Was sentenced to one • month's imprisonment, and to ray a Mae - 4 5/. to the Queen. At Union-hall, Wm. Prior, collector and traveller in the house of Messrs. Payne and Slee, vinegar-makers, in Church street, Horslydown, was charged with embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employers. Fsiem the evi dence of Mr. Slee t one of th e partners, it appeared that the prisoner had been about fire months in the employ onerwas of the The re firm, at a salary of 250/. per annum. pris manded. At Marylebono police-Court Mary Mitchell, a poor woman living at No. 46, Hereford-street, Lesson-grove, stated to Mr. Laloonng g Drummond-street., n m o mond -strWednesday eet ,neevarentinhge t las ern t, ii as nus sh n e f si t 'a h s e walking nndnu and Birmingnam Railway, she picked up from the pavement a paper parcel sealed, and on its being opened it was found to contain the halves of notes to t he amount of 145/. ; she was anxious that they might be r estored to their ri g htful owner, and with that view she had made the matter known to the magistrate. The parcel now remains at the Court; and it is heped.that in„the. event of the property being iden tified and given up, a reward will be bestowed upon the finder for her honesty. Frederick Kearns and Henry Behnke, foreign seamen, Who stood charged on suspicion of causing the death of Thomas Haxell, by drowning him in the Lady-dock, Com mercial-docks, Rotherhithe, on the 14th of May, 1841, were brought up for final examination at the Greenwich police court, and several witnesses were examined at great length. Mr. Jeremy said that there had not been a tittle of legal evi dence adduced against the young men, and he considered it a most malicious and unfounded charge; without even a pre tence. The parties had been most illegally imprisoned; they were discharged without an imputation against them, but with ample means against the parties who accused them. COI7IM-I".I3SECIONALXIIM. In consequence of the alterations in progress at Bucking ham Palace, the removal of the Court from Windsor Castle to town is not expected to take place earlier than Friday next.

Gibbs and others, no fewer than eight of the gentlemen forwarded excuses, showing cause why they ought not to be called on to serve. In most of the cases the grounds were deafness and ill health. On the name of Mr. being called, a young man stepped into the witness-box, and upon being asked by Lord Abinger why Mr. did not attend, the reply was, "M y Lord, he has run away." " Wh en did h e run awa y 7" in quired his Lordship,--" The 20th of January, my Lord. My master went very fast out of his counting.house, and he has never been seen since." A gen tl eman o f th e name of Lathan claimed to be exempted on the ground that being one of the Pay masters in the Exchequer-bill Office, he was not liable to serve either on Special or Common Juries. Lord Abinger observed that from the gentleman being connected with the Exchequer-bill Office, he was a very fit person to serve ; at the same time, if Mr. Latham could show any Act of Parliament which exempted him, it should be attended to ; hut to the best of his (Lord Abinger) re collection, no such Act existed, and therefore the country would have the benefit of hie knowledge.
