The Lords met last evening, but no business of the slightest importance came before the House, which adjourned shortly after it met. In the Commons, Mr. G. HOPE complained that, in some of the ordinary channels of information (in plain, English newspapers) the speech of Mr. SCOTT, the Member for Roxburghshire, relative to squatters in Australia, had b een g i ven at l ength, while his reply to it had not been given. He rose, however, merely to state that the Government did not agree• with the statement made by the Hon. Member. Lord PALMERSTON deferred, for a fortnight, his motion on the right of search. tlr. V. SMITH postponed his motion relative to oaths taken by Catholics till after Easter. Mr. W. a STANLEY corrected a statement which he had made with respect to the duel at Camden- Town, and read a letter from Mrs. MUNRO to war rant him in making the correction. The letter will be found in the Parliamentary report. Mr. COCHRANE moved for extracts of any corre spondence between her MAJESTY'S Government and Sir EDMUND LYONS, or the Courts of France.and Russia, relating to the recent events in Greece. Sir R. PEEL said in about ten days he would lay urt the table of the House all the portion of the cor respondence which, he trusted, would satisfy the Ho nourable Member. A brief discussion took place on the present state of Greece, in which Lord PALMER VTON, Sir IL DOUGLAS, and Sir R. INGLis expressed their opinions, all of whom paid high compliments to Sir E. LYONS, and the motion, on the understanding expressed by Sir R. PEEL, was agreed to. Mr. MILNEs made a motion relative to the present state of criminal jurisdiction over British subjects within the dominions of the Porte. He pointed out the hardships to which English subjects were ex posed under the present system, and thought the Government ought to establish a criminal court at Malta, as had been done at Trieste. He moved an an address to the Crown to that effect. Mr. HOPE thought the Government was not justi fied in interfering in the matter; and, after a few words from Sir R. PEEL and Lord PALMERSTON, the motion was withdrawn. Mr. TURNER moved a resolution to the effect that duelling is immoral in its tendency, that it brings into contempt the laws of the country, is contrary to Divine command, and ought to be abolished. He entered into a brief history of duelling, and pointed out some remarkable cases to show its baneful effects. Sir R. PEEL opposed the resolution, and after speeches from several other lion. Members, the mo tion was withdrawn. Mr. ELPHINSTON E then moved that the House re solve itself into a Committee to take into consideration the Legacy and Probate duties, which gave rise t o scltne discussion. This motion was also withdrawn. The other business on the paper was then gone through, and the House adjourned. The subject of duelling was again brought under the notice of the House of Commons last night by Mr. TURNER, who moved a resolution to the effect that the practice is " immoral in its tendency, that it kings into contempt the laws of the country, is con tvary to the Divine command, and ought to be abo lish ed." The Hon. Member spoke with sense and spirit on this question, and concluded by expressing a hope tha't an Act would be passed which would ren der the punishment for duelling mor e certa i n and expeditious. We doubt much whether any inter. ference on the. part of the Legislature would have the slightest effect in repressing this pernicious practice • on the contrary, ive think it would be very apt to make matters worse, vy giving undue importance to a silly, barbarous custom , for which, among other blessings, we have to thank the " wisdom of our ancestors." The question had much better be left to the goo d taste of society, and the silent operation of that common sense which is gradually making itself felt among all classes. Even fashion—the despotic ruler of us all, who exercises a power far greater than that ex,orcised by Sir ROBERT PEEL, with a majority of nieety at his back—even this arbitrary tyrant is beginninj to set her face against duelling; and we ma y opfely infer from this =doubted fact that the practice, like other absurd practices, must ere long fall into desuetude, provided Parliament will but keep a still tongue in its head, and make no more of the matter than it deserves. When a usage manifestly ridicu lous in its nature—more ridiculous, indeed, than dangerous, inasmuch as, in seven cases out of ten, duellists quit the field just as sound as when they entered :it—when such a usage is gravely and for mally discussed among Legislators, an air of conse quence, and even dignity, is imparted to it, which gives it a sort of sanction in the eyes of fools, and strengthens, rather than checks, the vulgar prejudice in its favour. As for Mr. COWPNR'S remark that "he would suggest the appointment of a Court of Honour; a jury might be selected who were as nearly equal as possible in station to the parties concerned, and who would, therefore, be able to decide, in a satisfactory manner, upon the question brought before them ;" we can conceive nothing more ridiculous than this suggestion, to say nothing of its impracticability. Suppose, for instance, that two attorneys quarrel—for even attorneys are not wholly free from the frailties of humanity— how is it possible for them to get twelve more of their amiable fraternity sufficiently disinterested to neglect their own business, in order to sit as a jury, and listen to the long story of the dispute ? Is it likely that a dozen attorneys will allow themselves to be called out of Court or chambers, in order to decide upon the wrongs of a brother, whose mishap it may be to have had his nose pulled, or a horsewhip shaken over his head ? Impossible. They will pity him, no doubt ; and if his story be not a long one, they will, perchance listen to it with attention ; but as for going gravely and minutely into the merits of the case, they will repudiate the horrid idea of such a tax on their time and patience, and leave the injured man to get out of his quarrel as he got into it. Courts of Honour might be all very well in the olden time when Englishmen had plenty of leisure on their hands, but in these hard-working days, when time is money, it is not , to be expected that any twelve men, no matter from what class, can be brought together to listen to the statements and decide upon the claims of a gentleman "in trouble." For our own part, if it be found impossible at once to put a stop to duelling, we should recommend that all quar rels should be settled, as one was actually settled some years since by a British merchant in Portugal, who conceiving himself insulted by some remarks con tained in a letter from a correspondent in London, wrote to the latter to " consider himself horse whipped." Whether the Londoner did so or not, we cannot say ; but the conception was a bright one, and worthy of general imitation, for it would be an effectual preservative of human life, and prevent the unpleasant necessity of gentlemen getting up' at day-break to be shot at, and carried on shutters into the agonized interior of Chalk Farm. We are disappointed, on looking over the resolu lutions agreed to by the House of Commons, on Mon day, the 4th instant, in reference to railways, at finding that they are merely seven orders touching the organisation of Committees for the consideration of pending Bills to authorise the construction of competing lines, and the suspension of certain standing orders. The resolutions are purely technical, without a particle of public interest about them, or the slightest bearing on THE public interest in connection with railways. We have very recently expressed our own views of the necessity, on every conceivable ground of sound policy, and the present and future convenience of the public, for some great and intelligible system of general supervision, as to these important works, on which Government itself should take the initiative. The slightest consideration of the extent of social comfort or derangement involved in the execution of such undertakings,—of the magnitude of the capital invested in them,—of the variety of properties, rights, tenantcies, &c. &c., affected by them, must satisfy one that the great outlines of their projection, con struction, and administration, and the adjustment of their relations to other and similar enterprises, pre viously entered upon or already accomplished—should not be left entirely to be determined by the result of the conflicting interests of private speculators. It should never be forgotten that errors in any of the particulars we have just recapitulated, are, practi cally speaking, irremediable in completed lines of road. The public is familiar with oases in which it has been satisfactorily demonstrated—after the execu tion of dangerous and most costly tunnelling, has been completed—that a slight departure from the ori ginal line, too hastily adopted, would have obviated the necessity for any tunnel at all, and would hare con tinued that portion of the railroad by a much more convenient curve, and at a considerable saving of expense, or have approximated it to given points, which it would have been most desirable, on every account, that it should have been brought nearer to, than it has actually been left.. Besides, any one who will examine a map of Great Britain, in which are traced the several lines of railway already executed, or now in course of construction, will perceive at a glance, that for want of a pre concerted scheme of radiating lines, from one or more great centres, converging ultimately in the metropolis, as their common point, some of our principal rail roads, having their termini in London, approach each other so nearly at certain stations in their respective courses as to be within sight and hearing of each other. The necessary inference from this vicinity of two lines is, that remoter, and perhaps more important, districts of country, are deprived of their fair participation in the benefit and accommodation of a travelling rail way. Anything like preconcerted scheme, whilst it might have allowed ample latitude for choice between numerous given lines of projection, would surely have obviated the practical anomaly of two being run, at some distance from London, within five miles of each other. Any reform of these matters is, of course, im practicable as to railroads already complete, or near completion,—and in whole, or in part, in actual working. But with regard to such as are the im mediate objects of the resolution of the House of Commons of the 4th of March, namely, new and competing lines, we are strongly disposed to think that some such comprehensive, matured, and efficient system of control, limited to the particulars we have indicated, should be immediately applied. In justice, indeed, to the existing railroads, the Di- rectors of which cannot be blamed if they have not conformed their lines to some plan , which might have been more advantageous to the public, but which was not formed for the adoption of the Com panies referred to, when they began the works they have with so much spirit and energy constructed, and so magnificently administered— some such guarantee from actual, though it may not be in technical strictness, illegal, encroachment by new lines, should be assured them. The great objects to be secured, however, are the public benefit and accom- modation. If we could imagine that such a Go vernment contract as we advocate could not be exercised without entailing some degree of vexa tious, or inquisitorial, or unwarrantable inter* vention with the unfettered appropriation of private capital, in legitimate branches of application, we would be the last to recommend any interference on the part of the Legislature or the Executive. But (as we took occasion in a former article to remark) the Irish government of the Marquis of NOR.. MANnr—or, talent and vigilance ilanjustice eeof L t o o rd t m he admirable official should rather say the Noble Secretary of that Lord Lieutenant —has supplied us with an encou raging and signal example of the perma nent advantage which the .community may de rive in the matter of railroads, from the previous cases, investigations, and ordinances of public func tionaries and servants of the Crown, who will under take to watch the growth, and direct the early progress, of such undertakings, not merely out"of a conscientious desire to discharge to the uttermost the demand of official duty, but from their love of national improvement for its own sake. Parliament passed. P.un't Currency Bill. We hare before shown the excessive cruelty, on both the pro ducer and the labourer, of a law which, diminishing the circulation in the ratio of the amount paid by the country in taxation—or nearly so—left the cost of taxation unrepresented in those depreciated prices which, only, they could obtain when value was deter mined by a gold standard exclusively. So the burden of that taxation cost was iniquitously transferred from the consumer, by whom it was the meaning of the Legislature that it should always be ultimately borne, to the ill-paid producer or labourer. So the robbery (for this is not too strong a term) annually committed by the system of currency established under Pszes Bill—(which compels the farmer and the manufac turer to take only the natural or gold-measured prices for their produce and their goods ; and leaves the wages of the labourer and the artisan minus, in effect, the amount annually abstracted from them by taxa tion, which they ought never to have paid ; or, rather, for which the scale of those wages should have ade quately compensated them)—amounts to not less than 30,000,0001. wrung from the hard and honest hands of famishing industry But Mr. TAYLOR, on the occasion of which we are speaking, completed this picture of spoliation. " Notwithstanding this law," said he, " which was to guarantee the farmer 80e. for his wheat, prices kept lowering till 1822, when wheat was 435. 3d. per quarter, on the year's average; little more than one-half the price contem plated by the framers of the Act of 1815. Need I remind you how many farmers are ruined at this period . ? The state of things, at that time, ought to have warned the farmers never again to rely on a corn law for protection,—and it ought still to warn them.' To be sure it ought. Do they want further evi dence to convince them of the futility of such protection" as that on which they would, it seems, again rely, in so many of our agricul- tural districts ? Let them mark what follows : "In the seven years, 1815 to 1822, the average price of wheat never reached 80s. per quarter, except in 1817 and 1818"-:-and those were very bad seasons. This law , ' having failed in effect, in 1823 a new law was called for by the clamour of agricultural distress; and , by this new law, importation—when wheat was below 70s. per quarter—was prohibited ; when above 70s. importation was permitted at a duty of 17s. per quarter. This corn-law was not less ricketty than its !predecessors. It fell to pieces when left to " walk" —and work—alone. The landlords and tenants, who flattered themselves, that whilst their bantling could keep its legs, they would be secure of 70s. per quarter for their wheat, discovered that, during the whole term, from 1823 to 1828 (in which latter year that profound invention of landlord-legislation magic—the "sliding-scale" talisman, was first set up), the average price never touched 70s. at all ! That , the price per quarter, in two only, out of those five years attained even 605., whilst in 1823 it was actually so low as 51s. 9d. "Great imports," (Mr. TAYLOR sensibly argued) " did not produce these low prices ; for the imports, during the same period, did not average 300,000 quarters per annum." If thef• statistics fail to convince the agriculturists of the folly, the mischief, the absurdity of all at tempts to work a statutable protection to home grown wheat,—no reasoning of our's can ope rate such a conviction ; and we shall, on that account, forbear to follow Mr. TAYLOR through the remainder of his interesting and well reas oned precis of corn-law history. But we cannot take leave of him without quoting the pithy remark with. which he closes his review of this quin queimial period—(lB23-1828). " The landowners, how ever, during the time, were* getting high rents, set according to Act of Parliament price bf thr74 NOT its market value." This is admira bly 'put. It is " a great fact." It suggests an impressive moral lesson. The landlords are now reaping a fatal harvest of distrust and disco rntent—of estranged relations between them selves and their tenant-farmers—of leases thrown on their hands, and lands deteriorating through in solvent .cultivation—of which harvest the seeds were sown by their own reckless selfishness ! How (as hone rt men, we are disinclined to ask, for we would not over-hastily impugn their moral integrity, but) as reasonable or consistent men, could they dream of exae4 ting high rents of those who held under them, when the Clurrency Act of 1819 had crippled, from one end of E - agland to the other, the tenant's means of raising even a. living profit—a means of mere subsistence ? How , could they set high rents when the contracted issue s ocf the Bank of England, and therefore of all provi sicial banks, had taken from those who were to pay t hem, not simply the chances of legitimate prices (that I is, such as would represent the natural or gold price and the taxation cost of raising their produce), butt he chances of all that healthful encouragement to et terprise, and the extended application of skill, la bour„ and capital, to improved processes in agriculture and husbandry, which was extended to the working occu piers of land, and the breeder and the grazier of stock ; with a wise and liberal confidence, by those who 'possessed absolutely, or could otherwise com mon(' t, surplus capital for such purposes, before the Legi ilature adopted the ill-considered nostrums, under e the administration of which our monetary syste cn. has experienced nothing but convulsion, derangement, terror, and paralysis ? Ac counts from Madrid of the 7th Announce that the QuEr &i and her sister had arrived on that day at Aranj tuez. The progress of the QUEEN-MOTHER throu kh Catalonia is described as the triumphal pro cessic in of a conqueror, or saviour of the country. Al most divine honours are paid to her. She is styled " a great Queen," " a magnanimous Princess," and the " Mot her of all Spaniards." Poetieal effusions are ad dress( id to her, some of which are ornamented with cuts repro: tenting her entering Barcelona conducted by an angel, . and trampling the demon of anarchy beneath her feet. And this takes place in a city from which she was b zt three years ago glad to make her escape. The Three per Cents. were done at 30 for cash, and 30i at '6O days, and the Five per C en t s . a t 221 f or cas h, , and 22 for 60 days. The intelligence brought by the Paris papers possesses little i interest. On Tuesday the Committees of the China er of Deputies were engaged in considering seve ral line s of railroad—namely, a continuation of the Or leans lit le to Vierzon; the second from Paris to the Bel gian fro nt ier, with branch lines to the coast opposite &gland and a third from Montpelier to Nismes. The opinion a the Members was generally against the con strnctio) a of the works by the State ; and, as regarded the nort kern line, se46 out of the nine voted that it should 1 e left to public companies, but with short leases. It is not ; probable, however, that companies will enter into sue k a hazardous undertaking with the prospect of a short lease, and little security that they shall be remu nerated for their outlay and risk at the option of the State. The Minister of Justice has addressed a circular to the p refects of departments, in which he recommends that in : ill cases full protection shall be extended to Pro• testant t congregations, whilst in the quiet exercise of a right rt spected by the principle of religious toleration. The Mn iister's circular has been rendered necessary by • some at p.,empts to throw obstacles in the way of the public N vorship of Protestants. He desires that the principle i of religious liberty may be, at all times, acted tr. ?on with great liberality. Thesubscription for a sword 'to Admiral DU TIT THOUARS is still making progress ), and boys and girls who hate the English vie with eat other in subscribing half a franc each.

The Du', aof NEstctras had completely recovered from his late . )cttack of illness; and, whether from this result or some it other cause not stated in the. reports of the Money' Market, the Fuads have had a considerable rise.

There was a very dull market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday; sales, 2,500 bales. Prices were id. per lb. lower than before the Hibernia arrived. Shares were, on the whole, rather firmer. Birmingham and Gloucester were 831 ; Eastern Counties, 11/. 13s. 9d.„; Chester and Holy head, 61 ; Grand Junction, Half, 119 ; Birmingham, New, 411; South Western, Eighths, 41; Manchester and Leeds, 115; Midland Counties, 90; North Midland, Half, 451; Paris and Lyons, 21. 13s. ; Paris and Orleans, 33/ ; Paris and Rouen, 341. Much interest is attached in banking circles of the City to the proceedings of the delegates of the Private and of the Joint-stock Banks to obtain concessions in their favour. The result of a meeting of the delegates an nounced to be held yesterday afternoon upon this subject is looked for with anxiety by all parties above referred to. But it is much to be apprehended that unless a most vigorous stand be made, that the Bank of England will, in course of time, entirely absorb the entire privileges of issuing notes payable upon demand. 'The policy of the managers of the Corporation has been for some time tending in this direction ; and how singular it is, that at a period so closely approaching to that when the discussion must commence relative to the renewal of the charter of the Bank of England, which must, occupy a very considerable portion of the attention of the Bank of England, a scheme should be issued, offering advantages to such country banks as will consent to give up issuing their own paper, and taking that of the Bank of England on comnussion, for the purposes 'of conducting their private business, and upon terms and more ready advantages than those now possessed, we believe, by those establishments who use now the notes of the Corporation. It is necessary to direct the attention of the delegates now assembled in the Metropolis to this subject. A commercial correspondent in Upper Canada informs us that not only is grain smuggled extensively across the bor der, but that American butter, cheese, lard, &c. is supplied in vast quantities for shipment, as British Colonial produce, to this country; and a paragraph in the Quebec Gazette of the 14th ult. confirms this assertion in the following extract of a letter, dated Lacole (U. C.) : " It is a notorious fact, that persons residing in the vici nity of the lines, who were never known before the passing of the law to sell a single pound of butter or cheese, are now freighting these articles in considerable quantities to Mon treal. Not only are the different kinds of American agricul tural produce daily brought into the province in contraven tion of the law, but the smile is the case with almost every description of merchandise that can be procured cheaper on the other than on this side of the lines. "The truth is, every one who stands in need of either tea, tobacco, sugar, molasses, whiskey, cotton, cloth, &c., passes from one side of the lines to the other, on some pretence of the above nature, without attracting the slightest notice, and thus supplies himself at the expense of the revenue, and to the prejudice of the Canadian merchant and mechanic—the latter of whom, in order to compete with his neighbour on the other side of the lines, must turn smuggler."

SOUTHWARK LITERARY INSTITUTION. — Mr. White delivered a lecture on Astro-Meteorology, at this Institution, on the evening of Wednesday last. In his exordium he pro duced a file of almanacks, from Moore's to Hannay and Co.'s, and dwelt upon them with critical exactitude, dividing the laurels promiscuously amongst them. In the course of the lecture he took a wide And comprehensive view of his favourite theory, which was illustrated by a variety of dia grams. In this part of the lecture we began to discover the acuteness and profundity of a highly observant mind. That Mr. White is a clever man has been attested by the best authorities, and his intellectual and scientific acquirements might better procure for him the admiration of the world if less tinctured with egotism. Verbum sate-- The members of the orchestra under M. Jullien have presented him with a handsome testimonial of esteem, in the shape of a baton, superbly mounted with gold. This is no more than a just tribute to his spirit and enterprise. It has been manufactured by Mr. S. Cherrill , of Newcastle place, Clerkenwell, an d is in the same style as those pre sented to Sir George Smart and Signor Costa. The follow ing is the inscription :—"Presented to M. Jullien by the members of the orchestra, as a mark of the high admiration they entertain for his musical talent, and in acknowledgment of his liberal and gentlemanly conduct towards them during his management of the. concerts at the Theatres Royal Eng lish Opera and Covent-garden. London, February, 1644." Dramatic and 21logical THE SU LOND , FRIDAY VENING, MARCH 8 . , 1844. SUMMARY OF NEW AND Optnton. " 0740 rw.ns may read." 70 aIIION. The King of the French on Monday, accompanied by General de Rumigny and two orderly officers, went to Neuilly and visited every part of the chapel of Saint Ferdi nand. His Majesty returned to the Tuileries to dinner, and among the party invited on the occasion were M. Guizot and Mr. Edward Ellice. The France of Wednesday says, that though the report of the Duke of Angouleme's death is nut true, yet, that by ac counts of the 6th, received from Goritz, there was no doubt that he could not hold out for many days. "A letter from Madrid, of the 6th instant," says thw Commerce, "has been communicated to us, according to which Bonet had left Alicante in an English frigate, which anchored off Alicante at dusk, on the 29th of February, and set sail about eleven at night, carrying away, it is said, large sums of money. The last letters from Italy are full of accounts of the armed bands which have of late re-appeared in the Appe nines and in the low country on the coast of the Adriatic; and it is said that all the troops the Pope has at his disposal at Bologna are not sufficient to prevent the nightly depreda tions to which that city is exposed. LAW AND POLICE. At the Oxford Assizes, Edward Butler was tried for the murder of his wife, by kicking and beating her in a most brutal manner. The jury to the surprise of the Court, re turned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter only. The pri soner was transported for life. At the same assizes Keeling Richardson, aged 24, John Richardson, 34, and Joseph Starkie, 18, three of a desperate gang who have infested this county for some time past, were indicted for entering in the night time certain enclosed lands at Clifton Carnpville, and for having feloniously wounded Thomas Harrison, with intent to murder him. The jury found all the prisoners guilty, and they were transported for 20 years. The assizes on the Western Circuit were opened yesterday at Dorchester by Judges Wightinan and Cresswell. John Hall, Richard Terry, sen., Richard Terry, jun., Joseph Terry, William Adams, and Thomas Spratlev, were indicted, at Aylesbury, for having committed a brutal assault on the person of Ann I'epper. The evidence proved the most shocking depravity on the part of the prisoners, who were found guilty, and transported for twenty , years. The trial of the persons c h arge d a t fullainore with the murder of Lord Norbury, has been postponed till the next assizes. Two boys, named W. Matthio and Joseph Hood, both under 14 years of age, were committed for trial from Mary lebone, on charge of robbing Mrs. Cobden, the lady of the Honourable Member for Stockport, of her purse, containing 11/. 15s. 6d., while passing through Oxford-street. 'William Camel', a tall well-dressed man, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, at Union-hall, for re-examination, charged with being concerned with another man, not in cus tody, in the robbery of James Forder of 110/. in Bank of England notes and sovereigns. The robbery was effected by the old trick of entering into conversation with hill', advising him to be very careful of his money from the number of sharpers about, and then "ringing the changes" by putting a bag of coppers into his pocket instead of his sovereigns. The prosecutor left town by the train for Brenchley, in Kent, immediately after the robbery, and did not discover his loss till the next morning. The prisoner was committed for trial, COURT-P.A.BILIONABLZ. Prince Albert has deferred his visit of inspection to her Majesty's marine residence, near Cowes, until Monday next, when the Black Eagle Admiralty steam-yacht is ordered to be in waiting at Portsmouth on that day, to convey his Royal Highness to the Isle of Wight. The Duke of Wellington gives a grand entertainment on the 27th inst. to their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, at Apsley House, when her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester is also expected to dine with the Noble Duke. The Earl of Devon has left town for Dublin, intending from thence to go to Dundalk, when the Noble and Learned Earl, and the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the tenure of land in that country, resume the active duties of the Commission. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland and the Ladies Leve son Gower intend to remain at Brighton until the second week in April, and then return to Stafford House for the season. The Duke and Duchess of Somerset have arrived in Park lane from Brighton. The Noble Duke and Duchess com mence their elegant parties immediately after Easter. The Earl of Haddington, First Lord of the Admiralty, held his first levee on Thursday, when thirty-seven officers of the Royal Navy had audiences with his Lordship. MISCZUGANZOUS. Mr. Murchison, as President of the Royal Geographical Society, gave his third soiree of the season, at his residence in Belgrave-square, on Wednesday evening, which was at tended by aboN; - e 300 noblemen and gentlemen, besides a great many ladies of distinction. Among the interesting objects inviting attention was the prow of a Roman galley, the property of Sir Howard Douglas, fished up from the bottom of the sea, near the promontory where the battle of Actium was fought. An anti-League meeting was held at Morpeth on Wednes day, to adopt measures for opposing the repeal of the corn laws. The meeting was convened by a requisition from cer tain landowners and farmers, amounting, it was said, to eight hundred. Resolutions in accordance with the object of the requisitionists were adopted, and an Association formed, to be called the Northumberland Society for the Protection of Agri culture, the Duke of Northumberland President. POLICE INTELLIGENCE CLERKENWELL—(THIS DAY.) Thomas Walker, a fellow of ruffianly disposition, who has been frequently before this Court, was charged with conduct of a very outrageous character in the Clerkenwell Workhouse on the previous night. Mr. Hemet, the master of the workhouse, deposed that at four o'clock on the previous evening, the prisoner came to the workhouse and demanded relief. The overseer told him to go to work (pick oakum), and he should have food and money. The prisoner became very abusive of the overseer, and put himself in a menacing attitude. The overseer directed wit ness to put the prisoner out, but the prisoner attempted to jump over the wicket and get into the office in which the overseer was. Witness repeatedly requested the prisoner to leave the place, but was at last obliged to use force to expel him. He then put his foot between the door and the jamb, so as to prevent the door from closing. He called witness a b— Irish b--, said the pau pers must starve in the workhouse, and that there was not a shop in the parish but could prove his (witness's) villa iny and robbery. He then went round to the hall-door, and commenced kicking at it, so that witness thought he would have kicked the panels in. His outrageous behaviour alarmed all the paupers, and caused a crowd of sixty persons to assemble round the house. Witness sent for a policeman, and had him taken into custody. The prisoner, in defence, said he was starving at the time, and as he had not eaten a morsel of food for two days, he declined working until he had some food. Mr. Charles Aldberry, assistant-overcer, deposed that, so far from the prisoner's statement being true, he had abun dance of food on the evening previous. Mr. COMBE sentenced the prisoner to find bail for the Middlesex sessions.—He was committed, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Elizabeth Williams, a good-looking young woman, very respectably dressed, was charged with obtaining goods by false pretences of various tradesmen at the west-end of the town. It appeared that the prisoner, three years ago, quitted the service of a lady of fortune, named Wombell, re• siding at No. 17, 6eorge-street, Hanover-square, where she had lived for several months as upper housemaid. Nothing further was heard of her until lately, when the discovery was made that for several months past she had been obtaining goods in Mrs. Wombell's name of different tradesmen in Regent-street, Bond-street, and the neighbourhood, to a very large amount. Last evening she was accidentally met in the street by one of her victims, and given into custody. She was fully committed on two separate charges, viz., for ob taining in Mrs. Wombell's name, of Mr. Lonsdale, of No. 179, Regent-street, hosier, three pair of stockings, of the value of 355., and of Messrs. Lewis and Attenby, of Regent-street, silk-mercers, a quantity of velvet. She will be indicted on several other similar charges. UNION HALL.--(THIS DAY.) Thomas Matthews, a tall man of military appearance, was brought up for re-examination, charged with robbing seve ral public-houses in the metropolis. The prisoner a few nights ago went into a public-house in High-street, and having engaged a bed, slept there, saying he had come up from Dover, and was going to the theatre. The next moraing when he got up, he was in the act of con cealing a pair of sheets round his body, when he was dis covered, and given into custody. Several persons attended this morning against the prisoner. The landlord of a coffee-house in Shoreditch said the prisoner visited his house at the period the State trials were going on in Ireland, and, having engaged a bed, went off the next morning with a pair of sheets. He had, previously to leaving the house, ordered a rump steak to be got ready, but it is needless to state lie did not return. Mr. TRLILL said that there were a great number of charges against the prisoner, all of which were pretty nearly of a similar character, and that lie should commit him for trial. Tun NAPOLEON MUSEUM.—We have been highly gratified and historically amused more than once, when in specting that singularly unique and very extraordinary ex hibition at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly—the Napoleon Museum. On the last occasion, the proprietor had the ho nour of handing a volume of autographs to his Grace the Duke of Wellington, who appeared to examine them with much interest, and on seeing those of the unfortunate Maria Antoinette, the Noble Duke said to the proprietor, "Has the Marquis of Huntly been here ?" "I do not know, your Grace,* was the answer. The Duke replied," I shall inquire ; for the Marquis of Huntly has danced with the Queen Maria Antoinette at Versailles, and with Queen Victoria at Wind sor." On ascertaining shortly afterwards whether the Noble Marquis had been—for everything that our illustrious hero notices is interesting to the British public,--we were informed that a few days after his Grace asked the foregoing question, the Marquis of Huntly, accompanied by some ladies, had in spected the same volume that his Grace the Duke of Welling ton topic so much interest in, and, with his Noble party, remained several hours looking over 'the Napoleon Museum, which we were not surprised to hear, considering its very great historical importance. THE MICROSCOPICAL SoctETT.—The attendance of members was unusually large at the last meeting of this society. Mr. C. Pearce was called to the chair. The first object brought under the focus of the microscope was the dividend of a Waterloo-bridge share. After many experi ments, in which the strongest light, including the hydro oxygen, had been thrown upon it, the dividend was declared to approach nearest in shape to that of a round figure, with nothing at all in it, which, upon an increased force of the glass, was found to be a perfect 0. The shareholder whose eyes had been opened during the investigation seemed to be forcibly . struck with the accuracy of the result. The divi dend was ordered to be deposited in the museum of the Mi croscopical Society. The next object submitted to the mi croscope was one day's ration of food as allowed by the Com missioners in a poor-law union. The microscope was magni fied to its utmost power to allow this operation a fair chance of success ; but, after every experiment had failed, the Presi dent said " that in all his experience of atoms he had never seen anything so surprisingly wanting in size or substance, though a microscope which magnified objects no less than 60,000,000 times had been used to help the discovery." This announcement did not seem to surprise anybody. After several sanguine members had endeavoured to magnify the surplus of the revenue, the interest of a Pennsylvanian bond, and " the sense" of the House of Commons, the microscope was locked up for the night, and the President and members adjourned to the tea-room, to refresh themselves after the labours of the evening. —Parch, MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. A very limited quantity of English Wheat has been re ceived here during the present week, and the show of samples was, consequently, small. Although the attendance of millers and others was scanty, the demand for the above article was scanty, the demand for the above article was steady, at fully Monday's quotations. For Foreign Wheat, free of duty, the inquiry was active, at Tory full rates. Bonded Grain was much neglected. The Barley trade was in a very dull state, the malsters buying sparingly. Malt had a drooping appearance, with an average quantity offering. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were very dad. ARRIVALS. Whims. Bailer. 1 Englisb L 1,410 qrs. 2,180 qrs.

Notwithstanding our market was but scantily supplied with Beasts, a large portion of which was of middling and inferior quality, the Beef trade was in a very depressed state. How ever, the primest Scots sold at prices about equal to those obtained ou Monday ; but the value of all other breeds had a downward tendency. The fresh arrivals from Scotland con sisted of 58 Scots. The numbers of Sheep were only mode rate, while the Mutton trade was tolerably steady at about previous currencies. In Lambs very little was doing, at barely lute rates. Prime small Calves commanded a steady .sale ; other kinds of Veal a slow inquiry, at our quotations. A good business was transacted in Pigs.

Oxenford, whose former contribu tions to the stage have achieved much popularity, was brought out at this house on Wednesday evening, and met with complete success. The plot of the piece turns on the deception practised by a gentleman, of easy habits and de cent exterior, upon a milliner's assistant, whom he induces to become his wife, under the pretence of having a comfortable situation and a trifle in the funds ; whereas, in fact, he is, on the contrary, in general difficulties, and much annoyed by duns and bailiffs. The exasperation of the lady at making this discovery, through the medium of a very chatty maid of-all-work, is only heightened by finding that the second floor lodger is her jilted lover, one Frederick Rapture, who has taken to the cornet-a-piston as a solace for his grief, and as a means of melting her obdurate heart. The manner in which he declares his passion, and the ability with which he executes the obligato accompaniment of the " Light of other days," has no other effect upon Mrs. Swellington (the changed name of the lady) than creating supreme contempt for the in dividual, who thus dares to intrude himself upon her privacy in the hour of misfortune, and the comfort she seeks in the altered position of her affairs is in the reflection that Swellington was always " unexceptionable in his choice of a Yalentia waistcoat," and unsurpassed in the tone with which he " or dered up a glass of mixed." Swellington being driven from pillar to post, at last avows openly to his wife his distressed condition; and, in order to gain time for the arrangement of his difficulties, proposes that he himself should go round to the creditors, none of them being acquainted with his person, and tell them, as "a friend from the family," that he (Swell ington) had " gone to Texas." With this determination he goes to the legal representatives of one of his creditors, and assumes the name of Rapture, and while descanting upon his own virtues, is attacked by that gentleman, and charged, on the authority of a letter from Rapture's father, with carrying on an intrigue with Mrs. Swellington. This w as the best scene in the piece ; the rage of Swellington in discovering the supposed intrigue between Rapture and his wife, and which is attributed to remorse for his conduct by the legal adviser, was inimitable ; the way in which he expressed, sotto wee, his determination to annihilate the guilty couple, and the, broken delivery of his sentences, when, in a state o f f ear an d jealousy, he gave vent to his opinion, elicited much applause from all quarters of the house. The whole affair is not explained till Rapture, at the suggestion of Mrs. Swelling ton, has assumed the part of Swellington, and finds him self arrested at the suit of one of the numerous creditors, who is lenient enough to accept 101. as a compromise. From first to last the piece was kept up with much spirit, Keeley and his wife taking the parts of the married couple, Fitz james that of Rapture, and Granby, the lawyer. Mrs. Keeley displayed her usual vivacity of character and played ex ceedingly well; her surprise and chagrin, at finding herself the dupe of her husband, was only equalled by the acidity, with which she treated the communication of the servant, relative to the state of her master's affairs. Keeley never flagged at all in his exertions to bring his character out pro minently, and at the fall of the curtain the announcement of the repetition of the piece every evening was received with unanimous applause. After the many translations and adaptations that we have had of late from the French, it is rather refreshing to see something which at all events, among its particular class, approaches near to English manners and English customs, and which may be found in the every-day walks of life. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, MARCH 12.—The average price of wheat last week was 17f. 40c., and that of rye 10f. 67c. per hectolitre ; the import duty, therefore, remains as it has been for some weeks past, 37f. 50c. on wheat, and 21f. 50c. on rye, per 1,000 kilogrammes ; the export duty on both 25 centimes per 1,000 kilogrammes. The Chamber of Representatives, in its sitting to-day, ter minated the examination of the articles of the project of law relative to the loan of 84,656,000 francs, destined fur the re • demption of a portion of the debt contracted with Holland ; it then proceeded to the vote on the whole of the laws. Of the sixty members present, fifty-two voted for the law, three against it, and five declined voting. The King and Queen returned yesterday evening at half past six o'clock from Ghent. We have stated that the financial plans of the Dutch Ca binet had been approved by the first Chamber of the States General, by a minority of 12 to 6. The Nederlandisch Avond bled informs us that the Ministry had nearly received a check which would have caused its dissolution. The suf frages at first were equal, nine for and nine against the law by which the project should have been rejected, if the Mi nister of Finance had not, by a speech, in which he entered into new developments," detached" three votes from the Op position, and so gained the majority, which voted for the law. • AN ENGLISHMAN AND lIIS PASSPORT.—We find the following in the Boulogne Guardian of the 7th :—" An English gentleman has been tried by the Tribunal of Correc tional Police of that town, for having insulted Messrs. Ber geret and Loisel, the commissioners of police at the pass port-office at the port, in execution of their duty. The defendant, when called upon to state what he had to say in his defence, said that on the night in question he landed at Boulogne, via Folkestone ; that on pre senting himself at the Custom-house he was asked for his passport; that having been informed at the Secretary of State's office, where he had obtained it, that no one had a right to dispossess him of it, he had refused to have it ex changed for another ; that from hence arose the altercation with which he was charged, which bad given rise to it, and for which he was marched off to prison. The Court, after retiring for a short time to deliberate, sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of 100 f. and costs. The case excited consider able interest amongst the English residents here. The British Consul was in attendance during the whole trial." EMBANKMENT OF THE RIVER THAMES.—Her Majesty's Commissioners of Sewers for the limits extending from East Moulsey, in Surrey, to Ravensborne, in Kent, have issued their warrant to the several occupiers of wharfs and premises on the southern shore of the river Thames, to the following effect :—"That, whereas the wall or bank of the river Thames within the parish of St. Saviour, in the borough of Southwark, in the county of Surrey, is by reason of the high tides become defective, and of insufficient height to resist the waters from overflowing the dwellings of the inha bitants, and the low grounds and places thereto adjoining within the said parish, to the great detriment and loss of the owners and• occupiers thereof," &c. It is then ordered that the several resident tenants on Bankside shall raise the em bankment 18 inches eastward and westward, It is much to be regretted that the embankment as proposed long since was so precipitately abandoned, particularly as the expense will fall very heavily on those wharfingers who hold their premises on lease only. A public meeting will shortly be advertised on the subject. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—A poor fellow named Hil lier, of Bishops Cannings, narrowly escaped cutting his throat, a few days since, in a rather singular manner. He was cutting hay in a field at Spitalcroft, when his foot slipped, and he fell to the ground with the bay-knife in his hand, the blade of which completely laid open his neck from the jaw to the ear, exposing the principal arteries He was immediately attended by Mr. G. Waylen, and is, under his care, going on well.—,Devizes Gazette. COURT CIRCULAR.
