OFFICE OF ORDNANCE, JAN. 22.: ___ GLOBE.—Symptoms indicative of increasing discon tent among the supporters of Ministers are exhibited at the Agricultural Protection meetings. The near ap proach of the Parliamentary Session seems to have been selected for these manifestations of landed dissatis faction with the policy of Government—possibly with the hope of awing Sir Robert Peel into obedience. We scarcely know which is meat the object of pity to lookers on—a Minister whose policy is watched with jealousy, and whose measures aro the subjects of incessant upbraiding and complaint by the party which placed him in power as the protector of their interests, or the party itself. " The agricultural interests," said the Duke of Richmond in the House of Lords, " placed the Minister where he is, and it ean deprive him of the power it conferred, if he betrays the in terests to which he owes his elevation." Though uttered by a Duke, the head of the Protec tion-to-Agriculture party, they wore vain words. From the day they were spoken, down to the present day, the agriculturists have filled the country with their com plaints of the sad consequences of Sir Robert Peel's " sliding-scale and tariff, followed, as they were, by his Canada Corn Bill and other measures of minor influence, but having the same tendency. Yet Sir R. Peel con tinues to preside over the councils of the country. In different alike to the supplications and objurgations of the agriculturists and the other protected interests, whom he deceived by his cajolings when leader of Opposition, he continues to alarm their apprehensions. They meet, as they have often met, to upbraid Sir Robert Peel with his perfidy ; to deprecate any further inroads upon their interests ; and to threaten him with their vengeance if he venture to proceed another step in the course of free trade, ofewhich he has openly expressed his admiration and approval " in the ab stract." Which, we repeat, is most to be pitied—the betrayer, or the betrayed ; the Minister who acquired power by deception ; or the interests which trusted to his smiles, and put a desired interpretation on his ambiguous phrases ? The agriculturists now confess that they find themselves in a worse position than they would have occupied had the Government they dis placed been allowed to pass the measure which excited their alarms, and provoked the combined opposition by which it was defeated. They are now the prey of dis content and anxiety. Perplexity as to the future in creases the burden of their dissatisfaction. They toil without recompense, and have no hope of a beneficial change. Such is the staple of the lugubrious speeches which have been delivered at several Agricultural Protec tion meetings recently held in different parts of the country. We have the proceedings of three of these meetings held within the present week. At Gloucester, the at tendance at the anniversary meeting of the Farmers' Club was extremely meagre ; and those who were pre sent were there rather to give utterance to complaints against the Government and their landlords, than to communicate anything satisfactory as to their present or prospective condition. The report, though evi dently drawn up with caution, stated that " On the subject of the tenure of land, it had been a point that had excited much doubt, whether it ought properly to be introduced for discussion in a Society whose more immediate object was to promote practical improvements in agriculture. It was, however, held, that nu very great advancement could be made in farming unless some security was felt in the tenure by which the farmer held his land, so as to secure him a return for capital expended, and therefore the Committee had sanctioned the introduction of the subject, which would foul] one of the early questions for discussion." This question gave rise to considerable disagreement. Whether the landlord should not make the outlay, and charge a per tentage upon the rent, instead of requiring the tenant to supply the means of improved cultivation out of his diminished resources, was warmly debated. In the end, however, " a Committee was ap pointed to draw up a form of agreement between land lord and tenant, suitable to the wants of the Vale of Gloucester." One tenant-farmer (a Mr. Watts) declared, that the cause of the very thin attendance at the meet ing was " the disinclination of landlords to help their tenants in these times of difficulty and distress." Another declared, " these were not times for farmers to lay out their money in improvements." The health of Earl Ducie being given from the chair, was the signal for considerable altercation ; some refusing to drink the toast because of his Lordship's speech at a meet ing of the Anti-Corn-law League in Covent-garden Theatre, in which he declared an opinion fa vourable to the abolition of the corn-laws ; others calling upon the objectors to confute his Lordship's arguments before they refused to drink his health on account of them. Is not this a pretty state of things at a Farmers' Protection dinner ? Verily the straw is moving—and in the right direction too. At the North ampton Agricultural Protection meeting on Wed nesday, the symptoms of dissatisfaction with the measures of Ministers were yet more unequivocal. Sir Charles Knightley, one of the county Members, spoke out his mind in terms which would be worthy of attention were they likely to be fol lowed up in Parliament by any movement indicative of a settled purpose. As it is, they are mere empty com plaints ; expressive, however, of the deep regrets of the party for having sold themselves to Pee], who lead s them captive at his will. The Hon. Baronet, how ever, did his best to convince his auditory that he felt and deplored the helpless condition in which they had placed themselves. He begun at the beginning ; enu merated each of the measures relating to agriculture which Sir Robert Peel has introduced, and showed the evil effects of those measures on the interests of agriculture. At the Sussex Agricultural Protection Society meeting, held yesterday, the Duke of Richmond in the chair, there was much of compliment to the Noble Duke who presided—much of earnest exhortation to union of opinion and action, in order to effectually stem the torrent which was setting in against " protection ;" and a manifest wish on the part of the Duke to modify and subdue the restlessness and discontent which existed on account of the policy which her Majesty's Ministers have adopted with respect to agricultural produce. The Duke has had the mortifying and nauseous task imposed on him of eating his own leek. His threat of expelling Peel has failed. The agricultural Members in the House of Commons have shown that they lack the pluck for which his Grace of Richmond gave them credit, w h en he lifted up his warning voice in Parliament, and thr e at ene d the Minister with venge ance.moatsoheclass snr altreo.i bi They nerndtt have ieprriee l hasbroke donen faith a withi t w t i h t he agriculturists, their constituents, and s e e s t ts a . nta T g h oni eirsinvolt,eisth th int eir speeches the llo e u ee se he o s f aCtotmhe hustings. Sir Robert Peel knew of what kind of stuff his majority was composed, and he actedaccordingly. Like the Duke of Newcastle, the Right Hol:i .Baronet know and still knows, ho " can do what he will with bis COFFEE.—This afternoon the public sales comprised 680 mats of Manilla, 96 bags 210 brio of Rio, 216 casks 192 brls of West India, 27 bags of Mysore, and 605 bags of Java. Manilla was nearly all disposed of, but at a decline on former rates of Is to 2s per cwt; fine fine ord coloury rather mixed went at 39s to 40s, fine ord 38s to 38s 6d, good ord 375, repacked 37s 6d to 40s. Rio was all taken in ; low mid coloury at 60s, fine fine ordinary 50s to 545, fine ordinary 45s to 45s 6(1. For West India the demand was extremely limited, and nearly every lot was bought in at easier rates—that is to say, Berbice mid at 81s to 88s, low middling 70s to 755, fine fine ord 63s to 68s, fine ord 54s to 58s, good ord 51s to 535, and low 40s to 48s Ja maica low mid unclean 70s, fine fine ord 60s to 635, ord and good ord 51s to 525. Mysore was withdrawn. Java taken in at 44s to 45s for bold yellow Company's kind, and were considered moderato rates. Other resolutions were proposed, appointing a com mittee, and generally for the purpose of carrying out the object. Mr. HUGGETT observed that there was one light in which the matter had not been put, which would have afforded an additional reason for seeking the aboli tion. This tax was made a condition of the elective franchise, and formed an impediment to its exercise. This he conceived to be a very powerful argument against its continuance. A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, and the meeting then separated. Royal Rekireent of -Artillery—Captain and Brevet Major R. B. Rawnsley to he Lieutenant-Colonel, vice W. E.

TEA.—lmporters of black and green still manifest firmness, and will not sell but at fully previous rates. For Pouchong better prices are obtained. Fine scented Orange Pekoe must be quoted again dearer. Congou is not much in request. Twankay has sustained the former value. For Ilyson and Young Ilyson prices are fully as high, but there is a pause in the demand. The few parcels of Imperial and Gunpowder sold were at former terms. At the public sales held yesterday nierchats displayed firmness and bought in and withdrew large parcels at full prices ; of the total quantity offered, amounting to 21,179 packages, 5,000 were disposed of, 1,500 of which consisted of Pouchong, which went at an advance on sale's rates of Id to 2d, and on fine scented Orb; t o Peltee the rise was 2d per lb ; all other sorts of 'I rs brought the former value, but the biddings for such were languid. SPICES.—This afternoon Black Pepper was in fair de mand, and 530 bags at public sale were sold at stiffer rates. Sumatra, good c lean but stalky, fetched 2d to 20, inferior 21:1 ; 7 cases of Nutmegs, at 3s to 3s 5d for brown Penang ; 1 case of Mace 2s 2d. Of Pimento 103 bags were sold at 3ad to aid for good middling, but 23 casks of wild Nutmegs were all withdrawn. MOLASSES—To-day further reduced rates were taken for We> t India Molasses. A parcel of fair St. Vincent was sold at 19$ per cwt. Coco A.— West India has met with little attention, and the supply being on the increase, holders are compelled to take prices rather under those previously quoted ; at auction 202 bags of Trinidad were disposed of ; good dark grey red at 45s to 475," middling ditto 42s to 435, and very dark 41s per cwt.

William Dettraer, pianoforte-manufacturer, Upper Marylebone-street, Jan. 31, and March 7, at twelve, at the. Court of Baukruptcy, Pennell official assignee, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The game-laws were passed by a landlording Parliament, for the especial use of the " English country gentleman." Hence the desire, as has been for years, to increase game preserving, and monopo lise game to themselves. The game-laws, every one knows, have been carried out with a savage ferocity If one of the " lower orders" has been detected com mitting a theft, and he happened to be a poacher, the full vengeance of the criminal law was sure to be dealt out to him ; and more particularly in quarter sessions and petite sessions. Most country magistrates would get up at midnight after a game case, but keep people waiting for several hours, perhaps a day, for any other justicial matter, unless the accused was a poacher, then the matter received different attention.

LOOKER,-ON. January , 22, 1845. TUE OLDEST SOLDIER IN EUROPB.—On Wed nesday, the 22(1 inst., at the Roman Catholic chapel in the London-road, the Poles assembled to attend the funeral service in honour of their late General-in-Chief, M. Casimir Malachowski. The Rev. H. Brzezinski, the chaplain to the Polish refugees, officiated. The Gallant General was eighty-three years of age, and served no less than sixty-five years in the armies which best served the cause of his unfortunwe country. General Malachowski was one of the distin guished members of the six armies, viz., the army of General Kosciuszko, the Polish Legion in the service of France ; he was also a General in the army of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, of the French expeditiona r y army to Russia, in that of the late Viennese Polish Kingdom ; and, lastly, he was a General of the Polish army in 1831. It was he who by mistake signed the capitulation of Warsaw. As soon as he found out his 4i.tal mistake, he ordered a general parade of the despairing army, and in the front of it in mostthe i ener getic manner accused himself of the fact, invoking court martial and death for his unintentional crime , but the gallant patriots, moved to tears by the self-accusation of the grey-headed soldier, would not comply with his re quest. The General, faithful to the last, emigrated fur the third time in his life from his native land, and on the s;h instant died at Chantilly, near Paris, having served sixty-five years, and fought in eighty-four pitched battles. DEATH OF MRS. :NORTON.—It is with no ordinary feelings of regret that we have to announce the death of the lady of William Fletcher Norton, Esq., of Elton Manor, in this county, at 40, Wellington - square, Ilast lags. This amiable and excellent lady had been for some time in a declining state of health, and it had been recommended by her medical adviser to try the air of Hastings, where she accordingly went on the 21st De. cember last. She appeared at first to derive some benefit from the change, but this hope was soon dispelled ; sh e gradually became weaker and weaker, till at length she breathed her last on Saturday, the 18th inst., at twenty rumutea Wore four o'clock.—Nottinghani Review, DOCKS.

Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held at the usual hour for the dispatch of public business. At the opening of the Court several members who had not taken the oaths, and made and subscribed the declaration prescribed by the statute as a substitute and in lieu of the provisions of the Corporation and Test Acts, at the several wardmotcs whereat they had been respectively elected, were called to the table for the purpose of taking the oath of office and sub scribing the declaration. Among those so called were Mr. R. Taylor, who, however, retained his seat until again called upon by the Town Clerk, when Mr. R. TAYLOR rose, and was about to address the Court, but The LORD MAYOR interpose d, and remarked that, acting ministerially as he (the Lord Mayor) then was, he could not hear Mr. Taylor until he had been sworn, and made the declaration required by law. Mr. R. TAYLOR replied that he had been sworn, and had made the declaration before the proper authority at the wardmote. The LORD MAYOR—I am told that you have not. The TOWN CLERK informed the Court that the declaration had not been returned to him by the ward clerk. A MEMBER—No, and the reason was that Mr. Taylor, after having made it, walked away with it in his pocket.—(A laugh.) Mr. Wituams (I arringdon) said he had seen Mr. Taylor make and Aubscribe the declaration. Mr. R. TAYLOR--Yes, and I have it with me ; but I wish to take this occasion to express my opinion not merely on the folly, absurdity, and impertinence of this declaration (of which this Court several years ago expressed its unanimous condemnation),but more especially at this time, of the intolerant and oppres sive use made of it by the Court of Aldermen to the exclusion from office of Mr. Salomons and the virtual disfranchisement of the electors of Portsoken. It is most absurd and tyrannical. Mr. Taylor handed the declaration to the Town Clerk, and thus the conversa tion dropped. APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES. The next business proceeded with was the appoint ment of the Committees for the ensuing year. Upon the lists presented to the Court were the names of several gentlemen who had served upon the same Committee for the space of four years; the maximum period for which, according to the 32d article of the standing orders they were eligible. Mr. KING objected to this abrogation of the stand ing order, and, after a lengthy desultory conversation, It was moved by Mr. ]?ion, and seconded by Mr. THOMAS, that the standing order be suspended. On the question a division was- called for by Mr. King, when the numbers appeared— For the motion Against it lB M ajori ty -62 The lists of the Committee were then gone through seriatim, and the members appointed, a proceeding which occupied a considerable portion of time. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. The TowN CLERK communicated to the Court that, appended to the annual report made by the High Bailiff of Southwark of the receipts and disbursements of his office, was a letter in which that gentleman invited the attention of the corporate body to a sub ject which he felt it to be his duty to lay before it. It had reference to the effect produced by the opera tion of the statute 7 and 8 Vic., passed for the aboli tion of imprisonment for debt, upon the office of High Bailiff of Southwark and of Chief Bailiff of the Court of Requests for the Hundred of Lambeth. The Commissioners of the Court of Requests had thought it right to suspend, in consequence of the decrease in the business of the Court, the payment of the sum for which the fees payable heretofore to the High Bailiff has been commuted until after the Ist February, in order to ascertain what would be the probable average amount of fees in future. By the 17th section of the statute, the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury were authorised to award compensa tion to parties whose interests were affected, and the High Bailiff suggested the necessity for the Court, at an early period, giving such directions in the matter as would protect their interests in the office of High Bailiff. On the motion of Mr. OBBARD, seconded by Mr. Deputy PEACOCK, the letter was ordered to be referred to the Officers and Clerks Committee, to examine into the same, and to report if any, and what steps, ought at an early period to be taken in the matter. POLICE COMMITTEE—NON-ATTENDANCE OP ALDERMEN. Mr. ANDERTON said he wished to call the atten tion of the Court, and especially of the Aldermen (of whom he wished there were more now present), to a subject which he was extremely sorry had been pre sented to the public mind in a paragraph contained in one of the newspapers. The paragraph stated that, for several weeks, the greatest inconvenience had been occasioned to the public who had the misfortune to be called upon to attend the Police Committee, in con sequence of the Aldermen not being present, and stated as the result that upwards of fifty persons were sometimes kept waiting from two to three hours be fore their business was transacted, and that this had not only been the case last Saturday, but for several previous weeks. Now he (Mr. Anderton) thought it was most desirable that the l.ublic should know whe ther it was the intend= of the Aldermen to continue these omissions of their duties, or if they had made arrangements for the better discharge of their duties. He had the highest respect for, and wished to main tain the dignity of, the Court of Aldermen; but if this state of things were to be continued, he, for one, should join heart and hand for the purpose of having a paid magistracy. Alderman FARNCOMBE inquired who were the Aldermen on the rota for last Saturday. Mr. ANDERTON--They are named in the paragraph, which perhaps the clerk will be good enough to read. The paragraph was then read as follows :-- "SERIOUS INCONVENIENCE.—For several weeks the greatest inconvenience has been experienced by the public who have had the misfortune to be required at this Court, by the inattention of certain worthy Aldermen, whose duty it is to preside at the weekly sittings, but who seldom present themselves, thereby causing the greatest confusion, keeping the public waiting one, two, and even three hours, when the business is hurried over in a manner not very credit able to the City of London. Yester3ay, for instance, upwards of fifty persons were kept waiting for nearly four hours ere they could leave the Court, in conse quence of the magistrates on the rota not making their appearance at all. Sir George Carroll, Knight, and Mr. Alderman Challis, at length arrived, and they regretted extremely the inconvenience to which the public were put. They were not to blame, not being the magistrates on the rota; but hearing that their brethren, Sir Claudius Hunter, Mr. Alderman Hum phery, and Mr. Alderman Moon, had not arrived, they came farward to dispose of whatever cases might be brought before them. Really the citizens of London should petition the Court of Aldermen either to appoint paid magistrates, or take such steps as to require the attendance of the Aldermen punctually." Alderman FARNCOMBH said that the absence, on Saturday, of Mr. Alderman Moon, was owng to the illness of that gentleman. Mr. ANDERTON remarked that the complaint did not apply to last Saturday only, but to several weeks past. The LORD MAYOR observed that personally he knew nothing of the facts. The paragraph named three Aldermen when two only were necessary ; and had he known of the matter, he would have gone him self to the Police Committee after he had disposed of the business at the Mansion. house. Sir C. MARSHALL said he was glad the subject had been noticed, for that he himself had been brought down three Saturdays out of his turn. He, however, thought the blame ought not entirely to be laid upon the Aldermen, but upon the officers, who could easily ascertain beforehand whether or not the Aldermen on the rota were in town.—(llear, hear, and a laugh.) Mr. Sheriff SIDNEY said that, in justice to Mr. Alderman Moon, he must mention, that on Saturday last that gentleman was taken exceedingly ill, and was confined to his bed ; and further, that it only be came his thity to have attended in consequence of the absence of Mr. Alderman Humphery. Therefore, certainly, under all the circumstances, Mr. Alderman Moon was not to blame.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. ASHURST remarked that all the inconveniences complained of arose out of the constitution of the Court of Aldermen, and he called upon the members of that body to petition that they should respectively be subject to re-election as soon as they had passed the chair.—(Loud laughter.) At present it was the invariable practice to lay all the blame upon the junior Aldermen, though it really attached to those who, having passed the chair, cared nothing about the duties their office of Aldermen imposed upon them.—(Hear, hear.) CITY IMPROVEMEDITS.-NEW EARRING DON-STREET. Mr. It. TAYLOR presented a petition from Mr. It. Thomson, and other inhabitants of the north side of larringdon Without, and of Ilolborn-bridge, praying for the completion of the improvements in Farring don New- street and Holborn-bridge. Mr. Taylor said he need scarcely call attention to the incomplete state of the contemplated improvements in question. Everybody must have seen and known as a complete eye-sore the four or five houses still standing, and which had been omitted from the schedule to the Im provement Act, and therefore had not as yet been interfered with, nor could it be done without an appli cation to Parliament for further powers. He could not suppose the Corporation wished to leave these impor tant improvements in their present imperfect state; and as it was desirable the Court should be put in possession of all the facts, in order that, upon consi deration of them, the work might be completed, he begged to move that the petition be referred to the London bridge Approaches Committee, to rep or t as to the expediency of carrying the proposed improve ment into complete effect. Mr. D. W. WIRE inquired what WES the n a no lier the property in question, which rendered en a pp tion to Parliament necessary ? ch eai rcb .TAYL OR replied that they were- ti( l,- perty, held under leases, and could not be a by any private arrangement. beelin e° ri Mr. PRENDERGAST seconded them otion, thought the application of the funds of' the " I l t he tion for such a purpoie as the completion of great improvements, much better than diell e ,„ s nity them in aid of' any charity. The cause of bur o f t ie in the prevention of accidents and the removal pest-houses in Field-lane, called for this o utlal . . e pe g. Mr. D. W. WIRE did not mean to oppose: a s co' tion going to the London -bridge Appr°840"„e001014 mittee, because he desired to see impreve ul— ired in all the approaches to the City ; but h e des _ draw the attention of the Committee to otber ~,, n deru" far greater improvements than that now u di/ sideration.—(Cries of "No, no.") I1e eeP e ts iked alluded to that which had constantly beeu,ed...he about in that Court, and as constantly negle‘(fieir, ito netA meant the improvement of Watling-street.--1 hear.) If the Corporation were going ton ar' w ily for a new Act, he called upon the Corateetsvio elude in its provisions those other impovel uee were more loudly called for. fri en d A Ir.
