Lord BROUGHAM postponed the questions of which he had given notice, relative to the Houses of Parliament, till some future day. The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table a Bill for regulating suits relating to chapels, and other property, held by Dissenters. Lord BROUGHAM gave notice that he would this day move the second reading of the Privy Council Bill, and the House adjourned. In the Commons, after the presentation of petitions, Mr. PAIUNGTON announced that the Athlone Election Committee had decided that JOHN COLLETT, Esq., had been duly returned for the borough of Athlone. Dr. BOWRING, in the absence of Mr. HUME, an nounced that the Member for Montrose postponed his mption relative to smuggling tobacco, spirits, silks, and other articles, charged with high import and ex cise duties, till Monday. In answer to a question from Mr. MACAULAY, Sir ROBERT PEEL said he could not enter into any de tails with respect to late transactions in Gwalior till the official dispatches were received. Mr. LABOUCHERE asked Sir ROBERT PEEL if the statement said to have been made by M. GUIZOT, in the Chamber of Deputies, that the commercial nego tiations between France and England were at an end, was founded on fact ? Sir ROBERT PEEL answered in the affirmative, and had no doubt that in the opinion of the French Government there was no probability of effecting a reduction of commercial duties by actual treaty. Mr. PARINGTON obtained leave to bring in a Bill to define the period for holding quarter-sessions in cities and boroughs in England and Wales. Mr. LABOUCHERE moved that an address be pre sented to her. MAJESTY, praying her MAJESTY to adopt such measures as may appear best calculated to maintain and *prove 'the commercial relations be tween the United Kingdom and the Brazils. After giving a brief history of the commercial relations of this country with Brazils, and the increasing trade of France with that empire, he stated the difficulties with which British merchants had to contend in car rying on trade in that quarter. In the article of sugar, for instance, the duty of Muscovado sugar in France was 265. 6d., in Germany 15s. 4d., while in this country , it was 63s.—an actual prohibition. His object, however,' in bringing forward the motion, wa s to aocertaln- what were the *views of her MAJESTY'S Government with regard to the renewal of the treaty about to expire. The speech cannot well be abridged. It was on one of the most important commercial questions which can come before Parliament, and we, therefore, refer our readers to the report. Mr. GLADSTONE, of course, opposed the motion, and contended-that the policy pursued by the present Government was precisely the same as that pursued by their predecessors. His speech, altogether, was most unsatisfactory, and furnished no answer to the arguments of Mr. LABOUCHERE. Sir ROBERT PEEL, Lord PALMERSTON, and . a number of other Meinbers, spoke on this important question; and, on a division, the motion was rejected by a majority of 73. The House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock. The Anti-League party, driven to desperation by the progress which the principles of free trade are making in every direction, have now resorted to the desperate expedient of giving false and fabricated accounts of meetings in support of the corn-laws, which never were held—resolutions and proceedings at such meetings, that never were passed, and never took place—and of giving names of persons attending such meetings, who,aithough they might approve the published proceedings, never were present at the meeting. Oils Of the latest attempts of this kind is an account The intended conversion of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. is a topic of engrossing interest in the City, and forms the subject of many communications from our Correspondents in the country. We should be the last persons in the world to undervalue the im portance of the operation, or to detract from the gene ral impression in its favour, as a step towards the reduction of the National Debt. And let no man, say we, regard with indifference any financial mea sures in this important direction, merely on account of the immoderate disparity between the specific means under immediate consideration, and the mountain of difficulty which it is the object of these, and of all the other financial efforts to be hereafter made, in con formity therewith, ultimately to remove. A reduction of 1,000,0001. of capital, for example, would not represent, in reference to the aggregate of our Public Debt, a proportion of but 1 to 766. But there is encouragement, as well as wisdom, in Dr. JOHNSON'S admonition,—that the first delve of the first mattock which breaks ground, and the first blow upon the first pile that is to be driven below the sur face, " infinitesimally disproportionate though they be to the total of the same repeated operations that must be performed before a bridge can be constructed, --are yet preliminaries as essential to the production of the complete fabric as the insertion of the keystones, or the adjustment of the last block of masonry which is to terminate the structure. As a reduction of the Debt, then, we hail with great satisfaction the proposition for converting the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. ; but we cannot yet regard the operation, even considering it only in the extent to which it goes, as an unmixed good to the country, until we know a little more of the intentions of Government as to the mode and terms of the contemplated reduction. From what took place in 1830, it is evident that there must be a very great number of small dividends at present pay able on that portion of the public funds. The reduction of 10s. per cent. of this moderate interest to such poor annuitants must be severely felt in propor tion to the tenuity of their capitals. It is rumoured that to the proprietors of lowest capitals in such stocks, in reference to this circumstance, and to the payment of income-tax by funded property, the Go vernment will postpone the conversion of three-and a-half per cent. interest to three per cent. only, for ten years; reducing it, in the meantime, as to the parties in question, to three-and-a-quarter per cent. There is this additional—and it is also an inevitable--evil, attending such financial con versions on the part of the Government, they who are compelled to accept the offer of being paid " off," or " out," altogether, are too apt to be allured by the temptation of higher interest, to invest their thus retrieved capital in foreign funds or other inadequate securities, to their own ultimate loss, perhaps ruin, and to the propagation of that rage for improvident speculation which released heaps of capital, under such circumstances, are sure to excite. Our own great anxiety remains unrelieved by the an nouncement of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER as to the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. What is to be done with the currency ? Ifit be not forthwith established on a sound and permanent basis, such as we have stre nuously advocated for example, in the issue of " Government" notes to the amount of 50,000,0001., payable in discharge of taxes, and circulating as a legal tender—in the meanwhile abrogating the gold " standard" by repeal of the Act of 1819, but leaving gold and silver to maintain them selves in the circulation,—to increase or to diminish, in coin or in bullion, according to the de mands or exigencies of the bullion market; a crisis must presently come upon us more terrible than any of the monetary convulsions which have been experienced since 1797. Now, we own that we are startled by the contents of the Letter of " An Observer ;" a gentleman, we have reason to believe, competent to write on those subjects with the highest authority. For " An Observer" gives us an insight into the " intentions of Government," which our experience of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S perversity throughout the whole series of his tampering, yet obstinate, legisla tion on the currency, compels us to believe will prove only too accurate. It is assumed that her MAJESTY'S Ministereintenci--lst, to suppress country notes issued by private and joint-stock banks ; 2d, t o su b st i tute _ . in their place notes of the Bank of England. This substitution of one paper for the other, be it observed, is .not a mere equation of currency in which the public are not concerned; on the contrary, it will be seen that it involves an absolute paralysis of banking accommodation throughout the kingdom; a mortal stagnation of the energy of domestic trade which is the genuine fruit of that accommodation as at present conducted ; and a panic consequent on this new intervention, this additional blunder of the Premier, the effects of which it is impossible to calculate in all their intensity or their extent. For, under the existing system, the accommodation sup plied by any local bank must be drawn from -Ist, Its actual capital,; 2d, The:amount of its deposits ; 3d, The aggregate of its own circulation in notes. Suppose the Government plan, announced by an " Observer," in operation, and what ensues ? we ..... entreat the earnest attention of our readers to the results : In the first place, the local circulation of the dis trict, &c., heretofore supplied by the provincial bank, is withdrawn—substituted, it is true, by notes of the Bank of England, but these must be paid for .by the local establishment in hard cash, whatever be the price of gold in the interim, whatever its ad vance upon the Mint, price of 31. 17s. lOid. per oz. It is true, also, that the Bank of England, in con formity with an arrangement which they have long been vainly pressing on the voluntary acceptance of the local banks, are to pay the latter U. per cent. on whatever amount, after the withdrawal of their own notes, they may be able to keep out of Bank of England paper. But it is clear " that the loss to the public and the power of accommodation thus with: of a meeting of " the tenant farmers and landowners of North Cheshire," held in the Market Hall of .Northwich, on Tuesday last, and which is paraded 'through the monopolist press as a most important affair. Let us just look even at the monopolist an nouncement. Foiled in the attempt at holding an open meeting, because anti-monopolist resolutions would have been moved, the " tenant-farmers and landowners of North Cheshire" adjourned to the large room of the Crown Hotel. Those of our readers who have ever had the felicity of seeing the large room at the Crown Hotel at North wich, will know—and those who never had the plea sure, ought to know—that this said large room covers a space of about 17 feet by 12, and contains just as many square feet as rooms of that size usually con tain. In this large room a number of persons were crammed, who having retreated from the Market Hall, where they were out-numbered, ont-voted, and argu mentatively ejected, found an asylum, where monopo list doctrines might be freely talked, because nobody could, by any possibility, get in to contradict them. And in the large room, resolutions were passed, and [ speeches made, which, high-sounding and magnilo quent as they appear on paper, .existed only in the imagination of the parties reporting them. The meeting was a failure and a humbug—the resolutions and the speeches a mere fancy and a delusion. It is quit* true that they were intended to be made and passed at a meeting intended to be held ; but the good sense of the people of Northwich prevented the passing of any such resolutions at a public meeting, and therefore a hole and corner private affair was re sorted to. Is this the conduct of the Anti-Leaguers ? Is this the best fight that they can make ? The Duke of RICHMOND'S " National Anti-League Association," got nearly smothered, at Freemason's Hall, a few evenings ago ; and the same fate seems to await all such Anti-League meetings, whether held in town or country. The Anti-Leaguers dare not hold a public meeting ; or, if they do, it is turned against them. Look at the Richmond meeting the Somerset County meeting—and all the other open meetings, down to this very one at Northwich, which they have attempted to hold. All have been free trade meetings, and so they will and must be. The tenant-farmers may be drilled and schooled; they may be put to say, in har mony, the words of "rent, sweet rent ;" but, when they feel the knuckles of the landlords in their backs, though they may repeat the words by mouth, they will, in their hearts, in place of "rent, sweet rent," as set to music by their landlords, ejaculate " rent, cursed rent," with their very sincerest feelings. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1844. It would be a curious problem in a Premier's psychology to determine, amidst the frightful possi bilities which his schemes of monetary legislation seem likely to call into real existence, what can be the " ruling passion"—the instinct or the de lusion, the caprice or the hallucination—which can compensate, in his own mind, for the political guilt or wrong-headedness in which he so recklessly indulges ? Does he imagine that the people are ena moured of his transcendent talents for finance, through the fascinations of an income-tax, payable by them in the thirtieth year of peace ? Or that their rural and agricultural tastes have been suffi ciently bribed by his sudden transmutation into a theoretical breeder of stock, an "intending purchaser" of Birmingham bulls, or a sexagenarian votary of Terpsichore in the festivities of his manor of Drayton ? The well-known adage, that " naked truth is ex ceedingly unlovely," was never more fully or forcibly exemplified than in the reception which Mr. BRIGHT'S speech on the question of the sugar duties met with last night from the Monopolists in the House of Commons. Had the Hon. Member for Durham con tented himself with just delicately glancing at the truth, and wrapping it up in vague, comely, and redundant phraseology, so as to conceal all its harsher outlines, he would no doubt have been received with great favour by the Tories; but not being a man to mince matters, or to express feebly and equivocally what he sees clearly and feels strongly, he stripped the facts, of which his mind was full, of all conventional disguise, and presented them to the House in stern and naked simplicity. For this homely, straightforward way of enunciating the truth, the sensitive ears of the Monopolists were by no means prepared, and accord ingly they gave vent to their disgust and surprise by resorting to all manner of articulate and inarticulate noises. When Mr. BRIGHT told them that their abhor rence of slavery was a mere pretext put forth for party purposes, he was interrupted by the sonorous bray of a jackass —an animal by no means uncommon in the House of Commons; and when he reminded them that it was less their duty to look after "the mo rality of Brazil " than the interests of their own porer fellow-countrymen, a cock began crowing, while loud and fierce cries of " Question " proceeded from the Treasury benches. In spite, however, of all these interruptions, Mr. BRIGHT boldly stood his ground, and the weight and value of his sterling, unornamented truths were shown by the very impatience with which they were listened to by the Monopolists, and the diligent efforts which these amiable Dissentients made to render them inaudible by clamour. " Were they sent to Par liament," inquired the Hon. Member, " that they might take under their patronage every population of every portion of the earth, except the country in which they themselves lived ? He declared that he could not express the disgust and amaze ment with which he had listened to the speeches of the Gentlemen opposite, in which they had spoken of the people of Africa, of Brazil, of every people of the world, except their own poor, except the famishing population of their own manufacturing districts. Who was it that entertained these scruples about the introduction of Brazilian sugar ? It was not the poor, it was the rich only, and they could have enough at whatever price it came in !" This was hard hitting—an argument directly to the point ; and accordingly the Premier, though he vouchsafed a reply—such as it was—to the other portions of Mr. BRIGHT'S speech, made no reference to this, but dis creetly passed it by without so much as a word of passing notice. The Member for Durham went on to observe, " They were returned to that House for the purpose of discussing and settling great national questions upon the broad principles of justice, with out any regard to self-interest. But their Monopolies all hung together." If the Monopolists themselves were to hang together —as well as their Monopolies— and this not in a metaphorical but a literal sense— we are far from imagining that the community at large would be the sufferers by such an operation, however inconvenient it might prove to the parties concerned. The plain truth is, they are a grasp ing, selfish, desperate faction who acknowledge no other rule of action than their own interests, and who will not legislate themselves, nor allow others to legislate, in an enlightened spirit. Just now they have got our feeble, Jesuitical Government in a " fix," and there to all intents and purposes they in tend to keep it. With Sir ROBERT PEEL at their back, they imagine that they have the power to carry everything their own way—to oppose the demands of justice and stifle the voice of humanity; but the circumstances of the times are against them ; and public opinion, however it may seem to recede for a while, yet, like the advancing tide, gains strength with every succeeding wave. And that public opinion has sternly and unequivocally decreed the doom of Monopoly, whose existence henceforth must be calculated, not by years but months. The intelligence from Madrid is to the 29th ult. A report was current that a change of Ministry would take place before the QUEEN DOWAGER ar rived in the capital. This is not at all improbable, as her MAJESTY, no doubt, has some lively recollections of the attacks made on her by BRAVO, when editor of a newspaper. A Royal decree has been issued upon a representation from the Madrid merchants and tradesmen, ordering that no more domiciliary searches be made in that capital, with the view of discovering smuggled goods. On the 29th the Five per Cents. were quoted at 22 for cash, and 22} for 60 days. We learn by the Paris pspers, that the Otaheite affair is not yet settled, and that in all probability certain of the discontented Peers will take advantage of the event, to annoy the Ministry and attack England. On Tuesday the Prince of MoscowA, in the Chamber of Peers, complained that the Minister of Marine had not defended the cause of Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, when attacked. The Marquis DE BOISST hoped the question would be brought for ward on a distinct motion, and Viscount DUBOUCHAGE declared, that if he had been in the Gallant Admiral's place, he would have pursued exactly the same course. The Minister of Marine said, only two letters had been received from Admiral DUPBTIT THOUARS, and that nothing had come to hand since the arrival of the vessel which brought them. If the Chamber, however, wished to appoint a day for the discussion, Government was quite ready to join in it. One of the Government journals has at length broken silence on the symptoms of disaffection manifested in the 70th regiment of the line. "Several journals," says the Mes sager, "have spoken of a pretended conspiracy, said to have been discovered in the garrison of Paris, and in which were said to be implicated some non-commis sioned officers, subaltern officers, and even a superior officer. We affirm that all these assertions are wholly incorrect, and that no corps of the army has been wanting in the fidelity which it owes to the KING and our institutions. It is true, however, that some soldiers of one regiment have brought upon them selves the severity of their chiefs by their miscon duct, and that the Minister of War, in the interest ' drawn, previous to such purchase of the new Bank of England note circulation are exactly commensurate " with the amount of local notes so suppressed." In other words, let it be granted that the aggregate of our circulation in notes may remain much the same after, as it shall have stood before, the circula tion of Bank of England notes, still, the extent of banking accommodation, displaced and reduced, will be exactly represented by that of the local notes pre viously circulated. Would the reader know what is the amount of this local circulation, and, therefore, of this monetary accommodation, at the present mo ment ? Just 18,000,0001.! Truly the Premier's stumbles are costly ones to the empire. He deranged capital—he hampered industry—he lowered wages—he heaped additional burdens on the poor—he took taxation off the rich by his enormous error of 1819, to an extent almost defying calcula tion. He is about, in 1844, to sacrifice 18,000,0001. more to the same unquiet and devouring phantom of a gold standard-measured currency I Will he really venture on this new and fearful ex periment ? But that we know he is made of very 4queezable materials, we might despair of producing any salutary impression on his vanity or his obsti nacy. But we have little doubt that that powerful interest in the empire, to whose importunities he has abandoned so many favourite crotchets—Roman Ca tholic exclusion, Dissenters' Civil Disabilities, an un reformed boroughmongering representation, &c.—will yet scare him from this mad and ruinous purpose of crushing the local circulation ! of the service, has ordered rigorous measures to be adopted respecting them, and has desired that they should he sent to the companies of discipline stationed in Algeria." According to another paper, the Courrier Francais, "an attempt had been made to tamper with the soldiers of the 70th, which had lately been re -organised. 'An arrest effected a short time ago, at Bourg, has led to the discovery of some lists wherein several soldiers of the 70th of the line figured ; searches having been made among their clothes, they have yielded the seizure of several printed papers issued from the secret societies. The soldiers have been arrested and conducted to the Abbaye prison, whence they will be sent to the dis cipline companies of Africa. It is affirmed that no officer or non-commissioned officer has been ar rested." A general belief prevailed on the Paris Bourse that Government intended to reduce the interest on the Five per Cents. This had an unfavourable effect on the Funds, and depressed that stock more than one per cent. On Tuesday the Five per Cents. closed at 125 f. 60c., and on the following day they fell to 124£ 30c.

Sarah Dickenson, a married woman, aged 36, was put to the bar, charged that she, on the 10th of January, in the pa rish of Deptford, did, with a certain razor inflict a wound on the neck and throat, and did strike, cut and wound, one George John Dickenson, of the age of three years, and did mortally wound him, so that he died. She was also given in charge on the Coroner's Inquest. The wretched prisoner was bitterly affected. and presented a most pitiable spectacle. The Learned Judge (Patteson) ordered a chair to be placed in the dock for her support. Mr. Doane was Counsel for the prose cution, and Mr. Clarkson for the defence. The Learned Counsel having opened the case by a brief recapitulation to the jury of the facts of the case, called the following witnesses : Elizabeth Spencer, sworn—l am the wife of William Spencer, and I lived at No. 5, Giffin-street, Deptford, when this affair occurred. The unfortunate prisoner and her husband lived there. We were lodgers there. I knew the prisoner and her family for better than three months. I knew the little boy and the child too. I remember on the 10th of January last Mr. Dickenson going out in the morn ing. The last time I saw him that morning was about 4 quarter-past eight, and I did not see him again till between half-past five and six o'clock. He and his wife and children oc cupied two rooms below, and we lodged above. About half past five Mr. Dickenson came into our room in a state of great alarm, and fell fainting on the bed. In consequence of what he said I went down stairs, and found the prisoner lying on the bed with her throat cut, and in a dread ful state. I also saw the two children with: their throats cut, and they were quite dead. I knew the parents to be in very great distress indeed—most deplorably off. From illness the husband was unable to work, and I believe he had never had a day's work since the birth of the baby, about twenty month s ' ago. H e h ad nothing to keep his family on, but the small sums they got from their lodgers. I know they had pawned everything. They treated the children with the greatest of kindness. I never saw more affection in my life. The parents had parted with every rag of their own clothes, and had pawned much of their children's. They were both exceedingly kind to each other—never saw a kinder husband or a better wife. I had recommended her to go to the overseer, but she did not go— she could not bear it. For the day through oftentimes I have known them only have a bit of bread and a few potatoes. The parents often went without altogether. I know once for two days the children had only two penny loaves, and the parents had nothing whatever. Prisoner often com plained heavily of her head, and the pains she had in it. Oftentimes she has complained she was afraid she would lose her senses. She has often said her mind wandered and she should go distracted. Before this happened she was often wandering, and forgetting what she was about. I have been present when she was teaching the children their prayers, and she has forgotten all at once what she-- was doing, alid forgotten the words. On the Tuesday, that is the day before this happened, she borrowed a penny from me to buy some thing with. Cross-examined by Mr. CLAtucsag—l have often seen pri soner walking about with her hand to her head. It was at those times she complained of her head, and said she was afraid she should go out of her mind. Sarah White examined.—l was a lodger in Mr. Dicken son's house when this affair happened. I remember the little boy George. I last saw him alive on the morning of Wed nesday. I did not see him again till about twenty-five mi nutes to six, when I heard a terrible noise. It came from the last witness, Mrs. Spencer. I went into the room, and siw what his already been described. She inquired se times where her husband was gone to. Her conduct as a mother and wife was most affectionate. Ce )rge Dickenson, the husband's brother, was then called a nd examined—l am the brother to the prisoner's Husband, HONE k r AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a better market for Cotton at Liveipool yester day. Sales 5,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were on speculation.

The Forth steamer has reached Southampton from the the West Indies and Mexico. The letters and papers are momentarily expected to reach the city. The dates are— Tampico, January 30th ; Vera Cruz, Ist February ; Bermuda, 21st February. She brings an immense amount of specie, gold dust, corn, &c.—said worth 1,116,000 dollars ; 41 serons of cochineal and other valuable imports. She has nine teen passengers. We trust to be able to add further particulars. It is said a good amount is on board the steamer for the Mexican bondholders, and for the Mexican Mining Companies. Vast interest is attached to the subject of the reduction of the interest upon the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. in City circles—and the feeling most assuredly is that liberal terms will be offered. The results of previous conversions are re -1 ferred to with attention to guide those interested as holders of the stock in accepting or dissenting from the terms that will be offered this evening to them by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. The result of former conversions was to add about 7,278,000/. to the debt, but to reduce the dividends annually by not less than 2,355,3461. By the pre sent proposed reduction, if carried into execution, a further yearly saving will be effected of about, it is estimated, at least 800,0001., making a decrease in the charge to the country of 3,150,000/. or 3,200,0001., a most important feature in the present state of taxation. The Funded, as well as the Unfunded Debt, and, in fact, all sorts of securities, are rising, foreign as well as domestic securities. A firm demand has existed this morning for the public Securities. The Commissioners took Three per Cent. Consols at 984, which is the present price. It is somewhat remark able, that the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have ad vanced this morning from 102 to 1024. The secret, perhaps, is, that many persons imagine that these stocks will not be included in the scheme of reduction. Consols for the Account have been done also at an improvement to 984. Bank Stock is at 196 for the Account. India Stock has advanced from 279 to 282 ; and for Exchequer Bills the premium has ranged from 72s to 735. Much business has been done in the Foreign Stocks to-day. Spanish at one hour was worth 25i ; and the Three per Cents. 36 for the Account, but the rates are now a little lower. Portuguese Converted, after reaching 474, have gone back to 464 ; and Mexican from 354 to 35*. We have not yet heard what amount of specie has been sent by the Forth steamer for the dividends. It is said that the sum is from 60,000 to 70,000 dollars. Dutch, Brazilian, Buenos Ayres, and Colombian Stocks are a shade higher than they left off yesterday afternoon. The Railway Share Market is again very brisk. The London and Birmingham Shares have advanced to 139, or Si. higher than they opened yesterday; the New Shares t 027 prem. ; the South-Eastern and Dover Scrip to 12 prem. ; and the Manchester and Leeds, to 444 prem.

The foot-path on the West-side, which used to be a favourite promenade for families in the neighbour hood, and a place of resort for children, is now almost deserted. No respectable woman, in fact, can approach it. Englishmen boast of their cleanly habits, and sneer at their neighbours, but we defy any person to point out a city, town, or village, in any part of the continent that exhibits such an utter want of decency on the part of men calling themselves respectable. There is no excuse either for such manifest injury to property, and the remedy is easy. Let a policeman be stationed on the bridge for a few weeks, with orders to take into custody some of the more egregious offenders. Impri sonment for a night in a cell, or what would be more proportioned to the offence, a week at the treadmill, would soon put an end to the nuisance. TO ALL WHO AVAIL OF BANKING ACCOMMODATION. TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The intention of Government having now become generally apparent, relative to the suppression of country notes, issued by private and joint .stock banks, and the sub stitution of the notes of the Bank of England in their stead, it may be well to consider the effect of this contemplated measure on the public at large. For some time past, the Bank of England has been endea vouring to induce the present issuers of country notes to sup press their circulation, on condition of receiving one per cent. on whatever amount of Bank of England notes they may be able to keep out after the withdrawal of their own Rotes. This arrangement may be taken as a criterion of the forth coming Government measure. At first sight, it would appear, that the public were in no way interested in this exchange of local notes for those of the Bank of England, but, on a more careful examination, a very different result will become apparent. As things are at present, the amount of accomodation which any local bank is able to afford in its particular dis trict of operation, is derived from three [sources, viz.—the actual capital of such bank, the amount of its deposits, and the amount of its note circulation. Now, let us observe the position of such bank under the contemplated Government regulation. The amount of its local circulation is withdrawn, and another note circulation (of Bank of England notes) substi tuted, which must be paid for by such bank in hard cash (upon which it will afterwards receive an allowance of one per cent.) ; therefore, the loss to the public, and the power of accommodation withdrawn, previous to the above purchase of the new Bank of England note circulation, is exactly com mensurate with the amount of local notes so suppressed. Hence, it is clearly demonstrated, that though the aggre gate note circulation of the country may remain at pretty nearly the same amount after, as before the substitution of Bank of England notes, yet that the amount of banking accommodation will be lessened by the exact amount of local notes previously in circulation. This, then, is that portion of the Government measure which directly affects the public, and ought to be the ground of the most serious remonstrance on their part. The amount of local notes (not Bank of England), in gene ral circulation in Great Britain and Ireland, may be estimated, in round figures, at 18,000,0001. The withdrawal, then, of 18 , 0 00,000/. of banking accommo dation from the provinces will be the most serious injury that this country can possibly sustain. The vital importance of this measure must be my apo• logy for trespassing upon Your co l umns ; but, as this question is neither a party question nor a political question, but purely one in which all who avail themselves of banking accommodation are most intimately concerned. trust you will excuse my bringing it thus prominently for. ward for the notice of your readers. --I remain, Sir, yours very respectfully, AN OBSERVER, MARKET NEWS--(THIS DAY.

Furnall—l am uncle by marriage to the young woman at the bar. Her aunt was out of her mind—incurably so. She died so.' William Jones—l am a doctor of medicine, living at Lut terworth, in Leicestershire. In February last I was snaking a visit toihe house of Sir Robert Otway. At the request of the ladies of his family I went to see the young woman at the bar. I remember the opinion I formed then, and I have heard all the evidence given in Court this day, and I have no doubt whatever that, at the time of this sad event, there was a disease of the brain that incapacitated her from being re sponsible for her acts. Cross-examined by Mr. Doius - E—Distress of mind might so surcharge the brain with blood, as in a day or two to drive a person mad ; and, as in this case, a subsequent great loss of blood might bring that person to a state of rationality so as to be able properly to answer questions. Mr. DoE simply replied on the evidence, and the Learned Judge having summed up, The jury immediately returned a verdict of "Not Guilty of murder, being at the time in a state of insanity," to the great relief of a crowded and distressed Court. There was another indictment against the prisoner for the murder of her other child, on which she was also arraigned. The same verdict was given as in the last case. The unhappy woman, whose sufferings throughout were of the most acute character. was then removed from the dock. • CLERItENWELL-(r-HIS DAY.) Ann Smith was charged with assaulting Mr. Robert Duke, chief usher of this Court. Mr. Duke, a very respectable and obliging officer, deposed that on the previous night, between twelve and one o'clock, he was passing along Pentonville-hill, when the prisoner and two other girls attacked him. He had not given them the slightest provocation. The prisoner was particularly violent. She first pushed him off the path, and then kicked him in the legs and struck him with her clenched fist in the face. A police-constable came up, and he gave her into custody. The prisoner, who had not the least excuse to make for the outrage, was sentenced to seven days' imprisonment. RAILWAY BILLS. SECOND REPORT FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON RAIL WAY BILLS CLASSIFICATION.

Mend the oases of the following Covent Garden Theatre is now under the hands of the Committee for the O'Connell dinner, on Tuesday next, and great preparations are being made for the occasion. Every attention is being paid to enlarge the area to its fullest extent, so as, if possible, to ac commodate a larger number of persons than originally. contemplated. The- Stewards have come to the reso lution of giving up their own tickets to the public, rather than allow the great disappointment that would have ensued, from not being able to find places for the dinner. The lighting of the house is entrusted to Mr. Gye, whose talents in this way are well known. The military band will be full and com plete. Harper has the control of the trumpets; and neither pains nor expense have been spared to make the tout ensemble worthy of the occasion. The Peers and Members of Parliament are to sit on a raised plat form; and the plan of the dinner tables, which we have seen, appears complete and perfect in all parts. The influx of strangers is great merely to attend this dinner; and a large number of eminent Irishmen have come over for the express purpose of witnessing —what it will certainly be —one of the most inter esting occurrences of our times. Meyerbeer's opera, the Huguenots, which has been performed for many y ears at the theatre at Wurzburg, has Just been interdict e d, upon representation of the clerical authorities of that city, and am a licensed victualler, living in Cannon -street. I saw the body of the little boy at my brother's house. Cross-examined.—I did not know the prisoner before she was married. After they were married, in 1839, she came as housekeeper to the house I then kept. She had an acci dent by failing down the steps into the yard. Her forehead was much hurt—so much so, that I had to send for a doctor. She was very ill after that, and left ; about three months after the accident she was confined with her first child. I always thought she was of a desponding character, but more so, much more so, after this accident. I have often heard her complain of her head, and put her hand up to it. I knew no thing of her family. By the JUDGE—After the accident she was very low spirited —very much more so than before. This I observed particularly from the time of the accident to her first con finement. They took a public-house in 1839, and stayed in it till 1841, when my brother failed, and since then he has been doing nothing. John Hills examined—l am churchwarden of the parish of Deptford. Having heard of this melancholy affair, I went to the house about six o'clock. 1 found the husband there, and what he first said to me was in the absence of his wife. When I first went down and saw three bodies lying, as I thought murdered, I thought the husband had done it. The woman was, as I thought, lying in the agonies of death, but it soon appeared that, wounded as she was, she knew all that was going on. I examined the husband's hands, when she said it was not he who had done it, but herself. She after wards, when somewhat recovered, gave me an account of it. She said she murdered the little boy first, because he was the strongest, and the little girl afterwards. This was her own spontaneous declaration. She appeared most anxious to excul pate her husband, whom I suspected and was examining. She said that having cut the throats of her children, she had cut her own, but was afraid she had not done it effectually. In the evening she said she attempted it the day before, but her heart failed her. She appeared in the greatest agony of mind, upbraiding herself bitterly for her wickedness. The room was in a very distressed state—no bed and no bed clothes—indeed the most abject misery. I found duplicates for very many things, but the children's silk clothes were there packed In boxes very carefully; they were very clean and very nice. Cross-examined—The distress was shocking to see. I did not warn her not to tell me anything, and did not ask her to tell me. I was present at the inquest. I remember that eleven out of twelve of the jury wished Mr. Carttar to take a verdict that she was of unsound mind. He refused to do so, and they kept him for a long while. George Worman—l am relieving-officer of Deptford union. Neither prisoner nor her husband ever applied for relief. John Hewitt—l am a police-constable. I went to the house of the prisoner at the bar. I found a razor there, which I now produce. I saw the prisoner bleeding terribly, and the two children murdered. She .said, "It is I that have done the horrid deed." She also said she had attempted to do it the day before, but her heart failed her. She said she murdered the boy first, and it was two or three minutes before she could murder the little girl. She heard the chime of the clock strike a quarter past one, when she commenced the horrid deed, and she added she sat up looking at her murdered infants till a quarter past five, and then she cut her own throat. Cross-examined—When I first went into the room:the prisoner was not able to speak. Did you caution the woman not to speak. Did you not feel it your duty to do so ? Mr. Justice PArrnsoN—lt was not his duty to do so. There is a very mistaken notion on that subject. A police man has no right to warn any person. Mr. CLARKSON—Oh, very well, my Lord ; be it so then. I shall not urge the question. It is a pity, however, that some judges should have one opinion on this subject and some another. Roscoe----I am a policeman and was present on the occasion. I began to search the husband, and the prisoner said, "It was I who did it. I did it at a quarter past one." Arthur—l am a surgeon, living at Deptford. I was called to the house, and saw the dead body of the boy George. I examined him, and in my opinion his death was caused by a wound from the razor. The prisoner was then in a dreadful state ; her wind-pipe was actually severed in one place, and in another nearly cut through. I sewed up the wound, and did all that was necessary. Cross-examined—This was about five o'clock. I thought she was dying, and did so for many days after. She was in a state of collapse. She was not in a state to have questions put to her. Ido not think it would have been right to attach any weight to her answers, in the state she was then in. I believe her to have been in a state of aberration, whilst under my care, since the dreadful event. I considered her mind to be in a " state of a sort of imbecility since the affair." The diScharge of blood, consequent on the cutting of her throat, would have relieved her head. I consider her weak state of mind to be altogether foreign from the circumstances attend ing the dreadful deed. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. CLARKSON then made a most powerful and touching address to the jury, urging that from the intense misery the prisoner was strugglingwith there was ample ground to main tain that her mind had given way, even supposing it to have been originally a sound and stron g one . But, happily for himself, for the Judge, for the jury, and for the sake of our common nature, he was in a position to prove that insanity was in her family, and that she had herself, on ma ny occasions, from want :and suffering, been labouring under an aberration of mind, and not responsible for the acts she did. The Learned Counsel then called witnesses, whose evidence we give the chief points of:— Jane March—The young woman at the bar is my sister. When she was in a situation, about eight years ago, her mis tress brought her to me in a cab ; but seven years previously to that I had observed her do very strange things. Her mis tress brought her to me on account of the eccentricity of her conduct, and through it she lost her situation. I have known her lie in bed days and nights:together without any food or nourishment whatever. Once for three days and three nights she did this, and although urged by all of us to take something she never would. Another time she sat up three nights in the kitchen. She assigned as a reason the dreadful state of her head. During those three nights she had no sus tenance. She was always complaining of her head. She would often go out by herself, come home again, and go right off to bed in the middle of the day. At other times she would wander about the house, for hours and hours together, never saying a word to any one, and when we spoke to her, however kindly, never replying. This was before the acci dent, when her head was so much hurt. She was always low in her spirits, but at times very melancholy indeed. She was often bled to relieve the head. Bleeding had that effect for a time. My aunt was in a madhouse for souse time, and I believe died there. COWES -ISLE OF WIGK T.
