In the House of Lords, the Marquis of CLAN RICARDE gave notice of a motion for Friday, on the present state of the poor-law in Ireland. The Marquis of NORMANBT moved for certain papers relative to the Irish constabulary force. His object was to expose that revolting and odious system :Nommonly called the spy system, and which, he f ea ,-ed, existed now to a greater extent in Ireland than had done for many years. The Noble Mar quis a d a 'nced numerous instances in which the police lad acted the part of spies. •He then entered at some length foto the.case of Mr. GREY, who held a a situation in the police, and who had been dismissed, shortly after the Accession of the present Govern ment, for no reason, that he could see, but for fol lowing the advice of ti.e ATTORNEY•GENERAL and Mr. BREWSTER. Lord WHAUNCLITTE defended the officiarauthori ties in Ireland, and said, if the .Noble Marquis per severed in his motion, the papers would be produced. After some remarks from the Marquis of CLAN EICARDE, the Earl of W icitiow, and the Earl of wnscniLsEA, the motion was agreed to. The Earl of MINTO moved for a return of the service i of her MAJESTY'S ship Queen, built on a new principle, and lately sent out to Malta, _Which he contended ,had not had a fair trial. The Earl of RADDINGTON opposed. the • motion, on the ground that the object of the Noble Earl was, t o throw blame on the Admiralty, without adducing sufficient reasons. After some routine business, the House adjourned till Friday ; Wednesday being a dieB non in the Lo a -as, and the following day the Ascension. In 'the Commons, a new writ was moved for the Liman-lock district of burghs, in room of Mr. Joni's- STONE, d i veased. Mr. CIIRIS.:IE postponed for a fortnight his motion relative to the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. In answer to a .uestion from an Hon. 'Member,. Sir It. PEEL said it was not likely that the Irish Regis tration Bill would come on before the Whitsuntide holid a y s . • Mr. S. CRAWTORD moved for leave to bring in a 1411 to "tend- the Parliamentary suffrage, and to se cure the free representation of the people. Dr. BOWRIN Q secasded the motion, and, on a diVi sion, it was rejected by a ma j or i ty of 66. Mr. i‘ 7 .sTsort moved for a Select Committee to inquire int ‘ . 4) the orders for compe • nsatio n made by the LORD CHAR 'COLLOR to the persons filling the offices of clerks of enrolments, riding clerks, six clerks, and many other clerks in Chancery, under an Act passed last session. lie pointed out the large sums received by these parties for doing nothing, amounting, annually, to 78,0001., and mostly paid by the unfortunate suitors in Chancery. lie contended that fees of this kind should be paid by the public at large, and not by the suitors. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL admitted that many of the statements made by Mr. WATSON were correct, and would not uphold the system as perfect ; but still the LORD CHANCELLOR was not to blame. If any party were to blame, it was the Legislature who had passed the Bill; but he was not aware that any party was to blame - . --- The : Bill had not passed through Parliament, sub silentio ; it had been discussed by Mr. WARD, Mr. C. BULLER, and also by Mr. HUME, who stated that it was correct in its principles and details. He could not see any benefit to be derived by the appointment of a Select Committee, and he must, therefore, oppose the motion. After some discussion, in which Sir J. GRAHAM took part, the House divided, when the motion was rejected by a majority of 16. Sir D. NORREYS moved the appointment of a Select Committee on the Poor Relief (Ireland) Acts, on which Sir J. GRAHAM moved that the order be discharged, which was agreed to by a majority of 32. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at One o'clock. However violent and unconstitutional the proceed ings of the COSTA CABRAL Ministry in Portugal have lately become, we cannot refrain from expressing our gratification at the evidences which we perceive of an ameliorated tone and feeling in the mass of the Por tuguese population. The domiciliary visits, the vexa tious arrests, the seizures of private papers, the vio lation of letters by the authorised but most abject agents of a most contemptible Government, the suppression of all liberty of the press, the arbitrary confiscations of property, the treacherous kidnapping of individuals obnoxious to the miserable faction in power, and especially of the pro prietors and editors of journals that have signalised their opposition to the tyrannical follies of the Court ; these are, undoubtedly, deplorable excesses. They bespeak the establishment in the capital of the Por tuguese Monarchy of a system of terror and brute force that must presently bring on a reaction terrible to the very institutions for the security of which these excesses have been, professedly, resorted to. The stability of the throne which they have been perpetrated in order to strengthen, will be shaken by that reaction, to its very foundations. The attachment of the Portuguese people to that Sovereign in whose behalf they have been invoked and vindicated, will be weakened and even annihilated by them. Yet all these viola tions of the Constitutional Charter of the kingdom, these outrages on public opinion, these insults and njuries upon a devoted and sensitive people, have been resented hitherto with varying success, but with a sparing of human blood most honourable to the na• tion at large. This abstinence bespeaks a great ad vance in social and civil virtue in a people who have been too lightly ranked among the most vindictive of Europe. They had innumerable wrongs to com plain of at the hands of those in authority over. them, from the Regency of Dom MTGUEL, in 1828, his speedy violation of the Charter of Dom PEDRO (of 1826), and his subsequent acts of political treachery and personal baseness, to the abortive attempts of the Duke of TERCEIRA and the Marshal SALDAMSA to restore the Charter in 1837, and all the more recent troubles which have agitated the kingdom down to this period. To pass over all the exciting events of the " War of Liberation," from the sailing of Dorn PEDRO'S squadron from Belleisle in February, 1832, and the taking of Oporto, its triumphant defence against MIGUEL, and the capture of the Miguelite fleet by our gallant NAPIER, to the death of Dom PEDRO ; we perceive in the history of these convul sions an honourable contrast of Portuguese abstinence and forbearance, even in the season of success and vic tory, to the unbridled abandonment of Spain, within the same interval of time, to the brutal intoxication of that remorseless vengeance and insatiable appetite of blood which have so disgraced her national annals at all times, but never more so than within the last twenty years. If we recur to the history of that interval countries, how immeasurably greater do we the political, moral, and social guilt of Spain been than the delinquencies of Portugal. latter, the suppression of the Constitution by Joao VI., in 1828, was followed by sanguim turbances, no doubt; and the insurrection of t] quis of CHAVES at Lisbon in 1826 ; and all the di and violence of the Miguelite faction, which, hot: and after the arrival of the British troops at Lisbol General CLINTON, in 1826-27, convulsed the. kingdom with factions and cabals, were not , ductive of sanguinary feuds. But the insurre favour of Donna MARIA, of August, 1831, ii 300 lives were sacrificed, and the tumults of L 1834, in which, perhaps, as many more were ma: in both discern are the only salient examples of popular mo determining in wholesale slaughter, which recal to mind, independent of the more fright extensive, but "legitimate" (if we must so fa promise the rights of humanity to convc to have In the the late lry dis ie Mar iplicity before 3 under whole unpro lion in which sbon in sacred, -ernent 'e can ul and r corn ntional opinion) casualties of the civil war that ravag tugal from the departure of the British tr 1828, to the expatriation of Dom 11.1papar., by leis em barkation at Evora for Genoa, in 1834. Bu let us turn to Spain, and we must be horror-struck at the long catalogue of crime and revolt, blood and treasoni which dates from the dissolution of the Cortes under the faithless and execrable FERDINAND VII. irj 1823. Then, the scaffolds began to reek with the hlood of patriotic and devoted Spaniards, worthy of as nobler fate. Then perished RIEGO ; and then comMenced that struggle for the succession of CARLOS, and the disinheritance and dispossession of the QUEEN!, which resulted in one of the most bloody and perfidious struggles recorded in history ; a struggleE which leagued father against son, brother against brother — which violated the ties of kindred, the sacredness Of hospitality, the sanctuaries of religion, the obligations of oaths, the pledges of private --honour. That civil war was a calamity which Portugal had equally to encounter with Spain ; but in Portugal it was never disgraced by that studied and demonlike aggtavation of its horrors which rendered Spain and Spaniards the reproach of civilisation and the disgrace of Chris tendom. On either side were ranged master fiends who offered up, on every possible occasion,. whole hecatombs of human victims in cold-blooded, wanton sacrifice.' Their's were the laurels, plucked like fire brands, from burning villages, and desecrated churches. Prisoners led out to be murdered by sections, or set apart and maintained for awhile, in revelry and en jpyinent, only to be murdered afterwards, with more impressive effect (like the Mexican victims of - the old Aztec sacrificial priests), amused the moody ferocity of Zirtam.AcaßßEGuE. The yet more infamous and, atrocious MINA, having information that a whole detachment of Carlists, who had escaped from the field wherein he had defeated their comrades, had taken refuge in a particular quar ter of a town to which he had pursued them, de manded of their relatives that .they should surrender to him these unhappy refugees within a given time. This infamy being declined, he actually set fire to the -quarter,-and the poor fellows were consumed in those lofty and ancient houses, in the highest chambers of :which, wounded and famishing as they were, they had vainly barricaded themselves. Their fate of -being burned .to death they had not antici `pated. The • cowardly butcheries of kleaoro, the bloody retaliations of CABRERA, have within these Cew montb3, aye weeks, been rivalled, by' CONCHA, NARVAEZ, RODIL, and Abat contemp tible ruffitu?

Though in common, no doubt, with the majority of our readers, we anticipated a majority against Lord ASHLEY'S clause in the Factories Bill, yet we could have had no idea that that majority would have been so great as the result of Monday's division proves it to have been. How many Tories, like Mr. G,;uAa - KNIGHT, must have apostatised from the faith which they maintained—in direct opposition to Ministers— but three short weeks since ! How many must have abandoned their own solemn and deliberate convic tions, and unhesitatingly given up their conscience into the keeping of Government, ere such an untoward triumph could have been achieved! The tergiversation has not been a retail, but a wholesale one. It has not been exhibited in a reluctant, shrinking spirit, but with the most intrepid effrontery it is possible to conceive. Scarcely a single Tory apostate seems to have thought it worth his while even to apologise for his apostacy. What a humiliating notion does this give us of the honesty and morality of the House of Commons ! Who henceforth will place faith in its consistency ? Who henceforth will deem it capable of being influenced by any other motives than those of truckling expedi ency? We look on the result of last night's division as furnishing a stronger argument in favour of Chartism than any that has taken place since the Reform Bill. The Premier has evidently inoculated the House with his own convenient and accom modating views of legislation. He has brought the doctrine of expediency into fashion among Hon. Members, and lofty, unbending, comprehensive prin ciple must no more be looked for among the majority of the British Senate. The House, in fact, has ceased to be the House of the People. It has be come the great manufacturing firm of PxEr. and Co. It professes to have no interests incompatible with his—to hazard no experiments but such as he ap proves—to entertain no opinions but such as are part and parcel of his own idiosyncrasy. He—and lie only —is its " Sir Oracle"—its golden Calf—before whom it bows down in abject idolatry. Does any man doubt this ? Let him read Sir R. PEEL'S speech last night, more especially the bullying threat with which it concluded ; let him mark, too, the direct, the im mediate influence which this threat produced on the votes, and he will at once see how complete is the vassalage in which the Tamworth Doctor holds the British Commons. One of the strongest points—or rather that which ho intended to be the strongest—in the Premier's speech, was that where he essayed to prove the impolicy and hazard of interfering be tween the manufacturers and their workpeople. The point was adroitly put, and produced an evident im pression on the House ; but as a strong, valid argu ; ment it is worth just nothing at all. Indeed, we re gard the whole doctrine of non-interference with such momentous public questions as the Factory Bill, as being neither more nor less than a piece of con temptible cant, without a leg to stand on, inasmuch as Parliament has never hesitated to interfere with the best interests of the people, whenever it suited its own purposes to do so. What was the corn law, but a direct, arbitrary interference with the price of the poor man's loaf? What is the Rural Police, but a direct interference—we might almost say—with his ordinary liberty of action—a system of petty espionnage originating in distrust of his principles and his nature ? What are the In closure Acts, but another direct interference with one of the few remaining privileges that the law has left in his possession ? Parliament never hesitates an instant to interfere against the poor man's interests; but when it is proposed to interfere in his behalf, then a howl is got up that the principle is a dangerous one, and must be discountenanced at all risks ! We have no patience with this mean—partial—one-sided system of policy —this craven doctrine of non-interference, which owns no nobler inspiration than that dry saw-dust which does duty for brains in the skull of a Political Economist ! Possibly before the session closes, some Tory Member, who voted against Lord ASHLEY, may deem it his duty to direct the attention of the House to the necessity of educating the poor, benighted factory children, and take credit to himself for the humanity of his motion. The question has been mooted more than once already, and we scarcely think it will be allowed to drop. But mark the absurdity— not to say the insulting irony—of such a proposition ! How are the young operatives to be educated, when they are engaged the whole live-long day in the fac tory ? Where is the time to be found for their instruction ? Who is to furnish them with the brisk, unjaded faculties the fresh, vigorous stilte of body, so necessary to their intellectual improvement? The proposition, regarded even in the most favourable light, is a mere wanton, heartless hypocrisy ; ;and, if brought forward, as we strongly suspect it will be, will meet with its fittest treatment in the laughter and contempt of every right-minded and consistent Member. Madrid papers of the 6th have been receiVed, but they contain no news. The Spanish Funds still continued low, lvithout any appearance of improvement. On the 6th the Three per Cents, closed at 29 for cash, and 29;i at 60 days; and the Five per Cents.. at 21 for cash, and 21i at 60 days. The discussion in the French Chamber of Deputies • was continued on Saturday, when an amendment to the Ministerial plan was moved, to the effect that the cellular system, meaning solitary confinement, should not be extended at present to the central and pro vincial prisons. This was opposed by the Minister of the Interior, and on a division rejected, so that all persons condemned to hard labour (travaux forces) for any term exceeding one year, shall be shut up night and day in separate cells. The horrible cruelty of such a law, we trust, will awaken the attention of the. French public to the subject. On Saturday M VEUILLOT, the editor of the Univers, and M. Bialtiza, the responsible agent for that paper, were indicted for publishing the pamphlet of the Abbe CRAMBALOT, entitled the " Liberty of Education," and a verdict of guilty was returned. The Court sentenced them to be imprisoned for one month and pay a fine of 3,000 f. each. The following reports from Italy appear in the Courrier Francais i•—" Se veral vessels, it is said, have sailed from Corfu, without their destination being known. ,It is, feared that these vessels have been freighted by some political refugees, with the view of effecting a landing in Italy. What in some degree corroborates this opinion is, that in a printing-office at Malta, the police has seized a large number of proclamations, which were, to have been disseminated in Sicily and on the Italian continent, and in which the people Were exhorted to . rise and recover their independence and liberty. Almost all the refugees have left Malta, where the English police moleSted them, and exercised over them a troublesome surveillance. On the application of Prince DE METTBRXICII, the Austrian subjects of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, who had retired to the lonian Islands, have been expelled from thence." At TORTONI'S, on Sunday, the Three per Cents. were quoted. at 84f. 40c. It is rumoured that the vacancy at the Board of Admiralty, occasioned by the appointment of Rear- Admiral Sir George Seymour to the naval command in the Pacific, will be filled by Rear-Admiral Bowles, now commanding on the coast of Ireland. It is also rumoured that the Rear-Admiral will be a candidate for the borough of Launceston, in the room of Sir Henry Hardinge, the new Governor-General of India. In reply to an application from Mr. Bright, M.P., in behalf of Mary Furley, Mr. Phillips, the Under-Se cretary for the Home Department, informs that gentle man that Sir James Graham, " under all the circum stances of the case, has felt warranted in advising her Majesty to commute the prisoner's sentence to seven years' transportation." NOVEL FEAT OF PEDESTRIANISM.--011 Monday a large number of persons assembled at the Princess Royal public-house, Westbourn-green, Bayswater, to witness the performance of a match, made by Molloy, the pedestrian, for his son, a boy of 14 years, to pick up with his mouth; and without the use of his hands, 100 eggs, placed on the ground at a yard apart from each other, and to deposit them in a basket placed at one end.

Sales 3,400 bags, all to the trade, at id. per lb. decline, owing to the accounts from the United States, advising large receipts at the principal ports ; 100 bales were Pernambuco, at 54d to 64d ; 200 Bahia, at 54d to 6d ; 100 Egyptian at 7d to Bid ; 300 Surat at 34-d to 44d, and the rest American.—Shares continued firm for French, and most other stocks were rather better.

The opposition offered by only three parties out of so large a Pro prietary as those who hold Bank Stock • can scarcely be considered as having any weight at all, and indeed, if the Governor had early in the day ex pressed his strong opinion upon the impossibility of having better terms, it is probable that even Mr. Cook and Mr. Blackburn would not have offered the slightest objec tion to the motion for accepting the terms of Government. As it is the proprietary, and indeed the public at large, may congratulate themselves upon the first step being taken for placing the currency of the country upon what may be con sidered a sound foundation. The West India body are again in the field, as strongly as heretofore, in favour of protection to their monopoly. They are about to petition the Legislature against any alteration in the duties on sugar, coffee, and cocoa, unless the present rate of import is diminished pro rata with that of foreign growth. To the general body of consumers of those articles, it matters not how low the duty is, but after having received twenty mil- lions sterling, it is rather too bad that the planters and mer chants interested in the British West India Colonies should in the present day boldly come forward to ask further conces eions in their favour. We have advices from Buenos Ayres to-day, to the 18th February. The petty warfare that has so long disorganised this part of the New World continued; and, of course, the operations in the commercial and mercantile world were all but entirely suspended. The value of Consols has remained very steady to day, at 99/3, both for Money and Account. The premium upon Exchequer Bills is on the decline. The variations to-day have been from 745. to 695. premium. Bank Stock has been heavy at 193. At the same time it ought to be remarked that there is a very general approval of the course adopted by the Court of Pro prietors, in accepting the' terms proposed by Govern ment for the renewal of the charter. The Commissioners bought 30,0001. Reduced Three per Cents. at 99. In the Foreign Market the transactions have beon few. Spanish Three per Cents. have fluctuated from 35a to 36. The Active Bonds have been very steady at 241. Mexi cans have been at 35i I, Belgian at 103, and Dutch Five per Cents. at 1001 *. There is a good demand for Railway Shares to-day ; London and Birmingham, Birmingham and Gloucester, and other leading lines, have found a ready sale. Union Bank of Australia Shares are at 4 premium.

IN THE MAIL Tainis.—The Earl of Lonsdale; the Postmaster-General, has given notice, that on and from to-day, the 15th' inst., several changes will take place in the departure of the morning mail trains b y the Great Western Railway.' The most Important one is that to and from Exeter, the line now being finished, the up-day mail-train, from Devonport to Bristol, is to leave Exeter at 46 minutes past 12, instead of 30 minutes past eleven, as at present, Which will require the London train from Bristol (at 30 minutes, past two) to be one hour and ten minutes later, leaving at 40 minutes after' three, and arriving at the ter minus at Paddington at 15 minutes past eight; instead of minutes past seven. The night mail up will leave Exeter at 35 minutes inlet. nine ' an d arrive at Paddington at 45 minutes past four, instead of 20 minutes past five. Several changes are also to be made in the Folkestone and Dover Railway, the French mail having been received onMonday Morning for the first time by that, route, instead of by coach through Canterbury. On the Eastern. Counties arrangements are going on for expediting the morning mails, which will be a great convenience to the public in the transmission of letters and newspapers to places at present having only one delivery daily. THE LATE CHILD MURDER AND MUTILATION IT HAMPTON ConaT.--Monday, Mr. F. J. Manning, the Co roner of the Queen's household, held an inquest at the 'Can teen, in the fore-court of Hampton-Court Palace, on the mutilated remains of a male infant, the principal portions of which have been recently found in a sewer belonging to the palace, and upon which Mr. T. Walley held an inquest at the Mitre-inn, on Tuesday last, the 7th instant. The un usual circumstance of two inquests being held on the same remains, and the dispute between the county and Crown Coroners as to their relative jurisdictions, has greatly in creased the interest excited throughout t h e neighbourhood, l an Ve d d t n h e e sd in a g y ue las st t - , ro th inp inquest-room , was sicry w as adjourned until Monday,rowded by respectable persons. It will be recollected, that at the first meeting of the jury on in consequence of Mr. Wakley, at the conclusion of his in quest, having, sealed up the jar in which the portions of the body were contained, which seal the police refused to allow to be broken. On Monday', on Mr. Manning taking his seat, he handed to Inspector Dowsett, V division, his warrant for delivering up the jar, which was thereupon brought into the Court, and afterwards opened. A good deal of evidence, but none throwing any light upon the subject, was brought forward. The jury returned a verdict 'of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown." The Coroner then ordered the remains to be replaced in the jar, and having resealed it, gave it into the hands of the police. The inquiry occupied four hours THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 15, 1844. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vubitt Optittott. " Who mots may read." rost,Examr.

The heat was in tense, particularly in the plain of the Mitidja, and had carried MI several soldiers. MAW AND 'POLICE. At the Mansion-house, the Lord Mayor stated from the it that he had received several letters from various parts of England, Ireland, and Scotland, calling his attention to certain printed communications, which the writers had re ceived from parties who either were, or pretended to be, commercial firms in and about London. One of the corres pondents, a retired tradesman, stated in his letter that he was convinced the parties must have found his name in an old directory. As the circulars enclosed in the letters were all precisely similar, and the signatures were different, his Lord ship was convinced that an extensive gang of swindlers were engaged in the system for the purpose of obtaining money, or securities for money, from inexperienced, incautious, or dis tressed tradesmen. His Lordship stated that he should do all in his power to render the efforts of the gang abortive. Caroline King, a young married woman, residing at No. 5, Little Warner-street, Clerkenwell, was charged at Clerken well with having assaulted and wounded George King, her husband, by which his life is in danger.

The woman was remanded. A man named Bealey was fined 2s. Gd. at Marylebone office for picking flowers in the Regent's Park.

Majesty's Government to increase the amount of duty they have proposed to Parliament to levy on foreign coffee, the Right Hon. Baronet is understood to have given a firm but respectful refusal. BARBAROUS MURDER.—On Sunday week a hor rible murder was perpetrated in the parish of Cloone, county Leitrim, by a gang of assassins, during the hours of Divine service. In consequence of the illness of his wife, Mr. Thomas Nash, a respectable Protestant, was obliged to remain at home, contrary to his custom ; and at mid-day he was sur prised by an armed party entering his house and demanding his fire-arms. He resisted the demands of the lawless ruffians with determination ; but, grievous to relate, he fell in mortal combat with his assailants. His poor wife crept from her bed of sickness, and, with his sister, Mrs. Brown, assisted in the struggle against the assassins, one cif whom struck Mrs. Nash upon the head with- a pistol, and another, at the same moment, darted a sword through the body of Mr. Nash. Mrs. Nash exclaimed, "I am murdered !"—her husband re sponded, " I am gone I" and almost instantly breathed his last. An inquest was held on the body, but nothing calcu lated to lead to a discovery of the blood-stained monsters has been elicited. A Government reward of 801. has been offered for their detection.--Irish Paper. PONY MATCH BETWEEN LONDON AND BRIGHTON. The following somewhat extraordinary match against time was performed on Thursday last by Mr. Jenkins, of No. 28, Shepperton- street, Lower-road, Islington, who for a wager undertook to drive, in harness, a pony, thirteen hands high, from the Angel Inn, Islington, to the Prince George Inn, Brighton, and back the same day, the pony to start from the former place at six o'clock in the morning, and return there at by twelve o'clock at night, a distance of 108 miles. After driving from Highbury Mr. Jenkins made his appearance, with the-pony attached to a light gig, at the place and time appointed, whence he started, and baited on the road to Brighton at the following places, viz. :—Streatham, Croydon, Godstone, and Linfield, and arrived at the Prince George Tavern, Brighton, kept by Mr. Roots, at one o'clock in the , afternoon, where, after resting half an hour, the pony was started on his road to London, making a stay of one hour at each of 'the following places, viz., Linfield, Godstone, and Croydon ; and Mr. Jenkins arrived at the place he started from in the morning at twenty minutes past eleven o'clock at night, being forty minutes within, the given time. But what renders the feat the more extraordinary is, that the pony is nearly eleven years old, and rather " groggy" in his fore legs. He, however, when in full swing, has a most re markable carriage, with no appearance whatever of the fault mentioned. On arriving at home after accomplishing this journey the-pony did not appear to be at all distressed, and looked as if he was then quite prepared to perform a similar task. During his journey the pony was refreshed with gruel and with a small quantity of port wine. We reg ret to have to announce the death 'of Alexander-Johnston, Esq., of Shieldhall, M.P. for the K5l- marnock District of Burghs, which took place very suddenly at Rothesay, on the morning of Thursday, the 9th instant, where Mr. Johnston had been residing for the benefit of his health. Mr. Johnston contested the Ayr Burghs, in 1834, with Lord James Stuart, and was only thirteen below his noble opponent, who owed his seat to the influence of -the Argyll family. He sat for Kilmarnock since the last general election, having- beat Mr.. Colquhoun, of Killermont, by a majority , of eleven.. Mr. Johnston was a consistent and zeal ous Reformer.—Scotehlieformers' Gazette. A BIOGRAPHICAL -DICTIONARY OF ALL LIVING . NAVAL OFFICERS.—Our readers will observe that a work of great interest and importance to the Service —" Biographical Dictionary of all Living Officers"—is in course of preparation by W. R. O'Byrne, Esq., of Doughty-street, Russell-square. The want of a work of this kind has long been felt; and, in_common with the profession generally, we hail Mr. O'Byrne's announce ment with pleasure and satisfaction., We sincerely wish him every 'possible success, and trust that officers will evince their sense of the value of this very arduous undertaking, by affording him every facility in acquiring information.—Naval and Military Gazette.

A DANGEROUS VISITOR TO SKIDDA.W.—On Monday last, as Mr. Wright, the intelligent and far-famed Keswick guide and boatman, was on the summit of " the mighty Skiddaw " in company with Mr. Dunn , of Leeds, he was not a little surprised on beholding a most majestic-looking eagle of the Irish species, which was so tame Wet it allowed itself to be approached within gun-shot. The same noble bird, it appears, has, within the last few days, been paying a visit to the mountains in the vicinity of Buttermere. It is about 60 years since the last pair of eagles endeavoured to obtain a settlement amongst these mountains, and Mr. Wright says he has no doubt but this majestic bird is reconnoitering for a similar purpose. THEATRICALS IN TROUBLE.—The Rev. Joseph Ridgeway, rector of High Roothing, attended at Dunmow, to prosecute a charge against John Wm. Star, of No. 11, Thomas-street, Waterloo-road, London, described on the charge sheet as.a wagoner and comedian, for conductin g ' his properties and vehicles through the parish of High Roothing on the Sunday, being on their way to Dunmow fair.

Teo.", Mr. Turner, Queen's Counsel, appeared for the re spondent. The Court rose at four o'clock. MR. MACAULAY. It will probably be in the remembrance of our readers, that, a few weeks ago, at a large and influential meeting of the constituency of Edinburgh, it was resolved, that when ever another election take place for that city, anti-corn-law candidates shall be started for its representation, should the present Members not before then give in their adhesion to the cause of total and immediate repeal. The resolutions adopted at this meeting having been transmitted to Mr. Ma caulay, as well as the other Member, h e h as a dd resse d a l ong and elaborately-written letter to his constituents by way of answer. The Hon. Gentleman avows himself an immediate and entire repealer, and as a consequence intimates his inten tion of voting for the coming motion of Mr. Villiers. Ne vertheless, his letter in different parts betrays the deepest mortification that the corn-law repealers of Edinburgh should have presumed in any way to interfere with the course which he might deem it proper to adopt on the corn-law question. Such interference is, by implication, denounded as an unjustifiable attempt on the part of the constituency to ty rannise over and dictate to Members. Mr. Macaulayis mistaken. Such an interference with Members is perfectly justifiable. When a majority of the electors of any place, whether borough or county, have made up their minds that the adoption of a certain line of conduct, on any great question, is essential to the well-being of the country, they have a clear, undoubted, constitutional right to call on their representatives to give effect to their views. Adopt the opposite opinion, and what follows? Why, that the terms member and representative, instead of being, as they are conventionally supposed to be, synonymous, are, or may become, as opposite in their import as the words black and white. To apply the term repre sentative to a man setting at defiance the wishes of his con stituents, is a glaring perversion of language. It is to dis regard the obvious and legitimate meaning of words, The Member who sets up his own views in opposition to those of his constituents, on any of the great questions of the day, does, in effect, insultingly tell them, that they elected him to be his own representative, not theirs. Are the constituencies of England prepared to submit to this attempt to seal their lips against all further remonstrances with those Members who venture to set at nought their well-known views and wishes ? Are they to be put to silence by the supercilious sneers or open insolence of those very men who on the hustings protested that it would be the end and aim of their legislatives lives, to give effect in Parliament to the principles which their constituencies entertained I , If Mr. Macaulay's notions are to be adopted, political elec tions will become a mere mockery. There was at least more consistency, if less virtue, in the old nomination borough system, when a man, if he purchased a seat, was considered the representative of his breeches pocket, or if he received the seat as a gift from some Peer of the realm, considered himself bound in honour to represent the views and -wishes of his noble patron. But good is oft en educed from seeming evil. We anticipate much benefit from that portion of Mr. Macaulay's letter in which he advocates the right of Mem bers to act according to their own views, however much their notions may clash with the views of their constituents: The effect will be to make the electoral body more careful hereafter as to the kind of candidates on whom they bestow their suffrages. The electors, as regards the future, have the remedy in their own hands. If persons presenting them selves as candidates, refuse to carry out the views of a par ticular constituency, let them be summarily ordered about their business. No terms must be kept with such persons. If the electors are not to have the right of taking all needful precautions for the effective representation of their prin ciples in Parliament, why, we beg to ,ask, did the Legisla ture confer the franchise on them ? With the construction which Mr. Macaulay thinks proper to put on the duties of the constituent body, the framers of the Reform Bill, in ex tending the franchise, offered a gratuitous insult to the new constituency which that measure created. If Members are not prepared to give a practical expression to the principles of the electoral body who elected them, it is a piece of un warrantable impertinence, to solicit the suffrages of such electors. To prevent all misconception in future, as to the relative duties of the constituencies ' and the candidates who ask their votes, let the electors, before giving any candidate their support, obtain from, him a written pledge that he will vote in.a particular way on the great questions of the day— these questions, and. the manner in which Members are ex pected to vote on them, being stated in a way which can leave no room for doubt, evasion, or equivocation. While Mr. Macaulay intimates his intention of voting in favour -of Mr. Villiers's motion for the immediate and total re peal of the corn-laws,, the sole object of his letter seems to be to persuade the country that it ought most thankfully to accept of a fixed duty. This is Whig-like. Whoever yet knew a Whig that was in his heart, whatever he might be in profession, in favour of any truly popular mea sure ? It is clear, that if Mr. Villiers receive the support of the Member for Edinburgh, it will be from expediency, not from principle. It is equally clear, that were Si r ko , bert Peel to sacrifice his sliding-scale and propose to substitute for it a moderate fixed duty, Mr.- Macaulay would at once abandon the cause of immediate and total repeal (to which he has, with evident reluctance, conditionally given in his adhesion), and support the Tory Premier. All such time serving Members ought to be marked men—persons who are to be suspected. They are black sheep, who do immeasur ably more mischief to a cause than if they had never pro fessed to identify themselves with it. Hollow-hearted friends are always more to be dreaded than open enemi es . Th e l e tt er of Mr. Macaulay is not only calculated, but is manifestly in tended, to do irreparable mischief to the Anti-Corn-law agi tation. He labours hard to underrate the influence of the League. He affirms that its power is exceedingly limited. We trust that it will join issue with him here, and furnish such a proof of its influence as even he shall not be able to resist. Let the League put forth its energies, and convince Mr. Macaulay of what it is capable of doing, by turning him out of the ,representation of Edinburgh whenever an election for that city take place.—Advertiser. FUNERAL OF MR. NANTZ, OF THE VICTORIA TIILATRE.—On Monday afternoon the remains of the above named gentleman were removed from his residence in Stam ftwd-street, to the burial-ground of SL John's, Waterloo road. The funeral was a walking one, of gentlemen connected With the establishment, including Messrs. Osbaldeston,Freer, Seaman, Hicks, &c. The town of Redditch has this week been thrown into a state of great excitement by the disclosure of circum stances leading to the suspicion that a female servant in the house of Mr. J. Warriti, needle-manufacturer, had on Sunday last clandestinely given birth to a child, which she after 'Wards deitrOyed by burning it: The wiman is now in cus tody, and has undergone an examination by ldr. RoystOrt, surgeon, which leaves no doubt of her recent delivery an d the appalling rumour has received further confirmation by Allday, the constable, after a diligent search on the premises, having , succeeded in discovering the head of an infant Worcester Herald. CONSCIENCE MONEY.—The. following letter, with 2/. 10s. enclosed ; -was delivered to Mr. Dowsop at his house in Houghton-lerSpring, on Saturday evening last Si r ,— The enclosed is a restoration for property destroyed in the garden belonging to the late .Mr. Elliott, by a person then living near to him.

DUE PROPORTIOXS.—" Jock," said a farmer's wife to the herd callant--" Jock, come in to your panitch—the flies are drowning themselves in the milk."—" Nae fears," replied Jock, moving very deliberately towards the scene of action; " Nae fears ; they'll wade through't."—." Od, you little rascal, do you say you dinna get eneugh o' milk ?' " Ou ay, plenty for the parritch." A FEMALE LABOURER,—At the corn mill in course, of erection by Messrs. Potter, corn merchants, a woman is now working as a bricksetter's labourer. She was formerly a drawer in a coal mine, but ja now prevented following that occupation by the recent statute prohibiting boys' and female labour in coal mines. The contractors and architect speak of the very great strength possessed by her as equal to a man, and the ease with which she carries up a " burn" of bricks or mortar on her head to the top of the building. The females residing near have expressed their indignation of the step by hooting, but she says she must do it or starve.— Manchester Courier. THE LASH AT WOOLWICH.—On Monday, before seven o'clock, another of those disgusting exhibitions took place at the rear of the Royal Artillery Barracks. The whole of the" troops were assembled on the parade, to hear the sen tence of a garrison court-martial read, which had been held upon gunner and driver Bell, of the 7th battalion Royal Ar tillery, for having sold his regimental necessaries, also steal ing other regimental accoutrements belonging to his com rades, and also absenting himself without leave from his quarters for some days, till compelled to return under charge of an escort—of all which charges he was found guilty, and sentenced to receive 150 lashes, and then to be drummed out of the service. Yesterday the culprit was tied to the tri angles to receive the punishment awarded him, and the scene of horror commenced. After the punishment was over, the culprit was marched off to the Ordnance Hospital ; and when he is well enough to leave it, he will be drummed oui of the service. A woodcock was shot a few dap inc at Reddings, by John Tuddenham: bye of the , gamekeepers of Sir Jame; Graham and near the pice three young birds were fgund—a circluid4llo 4-14Mit without precedence in tliie district.
