DALHOUSIE. C. W. PASLEY. G. R. PORTER. D. O'BRIEN. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING rarEns OF YESTERDA7. GLOBE.—" Pitt's Friends"—for that is the original title from which is derived the Apostolic succession of orthodox Conservative Ministerialism—Pitt's Friends, since Pitt's death, have described the whole circle of opinions with tegard to Irish Roman Catholicism, and now appear just arriving at the very point from which their leader first was prevented from starting. It seldom, hcwever, happens that nearly a half cen tury can elapse—the intermediate space having (by Pitt's Friends) been filled with the bitterest contro versy)—and that the same course can be smoothly re entered, which might have smoothly been taken at first. When Pitt went out in 1801, because George the Third (the royal ear having secretly been pre-occupied by tii,Mo lay and some clerical alarmists) refused his sanction to the Roman Catholic measures he laid before hien, as the implied promises, and essential comple ments of the union with Ireland—no political Pro te.,tant party existed amongst English politicians. That was an Irish gro Nth ; and even such a champion of abirrgi established as Burke had become latterly, was to the last adverse to the political Protestant pretexts of the Irish local oligarchy. George the Third had the equivocal honour of crea'ing out of nothing (at least, out of political nonentities) a party which assumed Pro testantism as its watchword)—and such became the party of" Pitt's Friends." It is curious and amusing to read, in the l)iary of Lord Malmsbury, the expressions of indig nation of that " Pitt's Friend," when Pitt first rt.— signed, and to contrast that indignation at the closet-ear wiggings which alarmed the royal mind, with his own subsequent eagerness to renew precisely the same sytem of intrigue, and work on precisly the same royal weakness in 1807. The only difference was, that Pitt was in trigued out of office in 1801—and with him " Pitt's .Friends;" whereas, in 1807, the point was to intrigue out of office the surviving members of the Fox and Gren ville Ministry—whereby " Pitt's Friends" would return to power. Apostolic succession is everything to political Protestantism. This doctrine sufficiently vindicates the same party, in all its changing phases. For the point is not mere notional consistency—mere matter of opinion. The point is, whose opinions have the stamp of official orthodoxy—who can trace the unbroken links of succession from Pitt. And of course these are " Pitt's Friends." While there was a " good old King," who fancied his crown in question, " Pitt's Friends" stood by him with devoted loyalty—loyalty devoted to places and pensions, which Percevals, Westmorelands, Vansi!tarts, could scarcely have merited otherwise. When an elderly Monarch succeeded, not so good, and not quite so obstinate, the junior partners of Pitt's Friends" saw the expediency of forcing his hand a little. Times have gone on, still changing ; and " Pitt's Friends" have gone on, changing likewise. They have changed everything—except their claim to apostolic succession and Conservative orthodoxy. A doubt may intrude on minds not thoroughly imbued with political reli gion, whether the course of this party, since the commencement of this century, has not been rather selfish and mischievous, as regards Irish Roman Catho!iciem. Whether politicians are quite at liberty to take God's n ime in vain, whenever affectation of the highest motives can compass the lowest objects. And finally, whether divine- into John Bull's pockets for the endowment of a faith which John Bull thinks (justly in our mind) deeply tinged with superAitions —is the amencle most decent and effectual to the holders of that faith for all the injustice which the personal in• terests of " Pitt's Friends" inflicted on them civilly and politically. STANDARD.—" We ought not to halloo before we are out of'the wood," says the proverb ; but keeping the sage maxim still in view, we must at present anticipate a short, as the Ministers hitherto have had an easy, session of Parliament. The circumstances that ren dered necessary an early consideration of financial , questions, concurring with an unusually early It.aster, have caused an anticipation of what has hitherto been not merely the dead weight of the Parlia mentary year's work, but also the means of inviting a multitude of other tedious discussions. In fact, looking back to former years, we find nearly the first half of every session consumed in debates upon the most trumpery questions, apparently because the House of' Commons had nothing useful to do, and it must do something. Another cause of the probable dispatch of business in the present session is the universal consci ousness that the crag& recocta of anti-corn-law speeches, and the like, aid no longer ge down. The country is sick of such stuff, and moreover the country is prosperous and contented. The more prudent of the Whig party are well aware of this, and therefore they prudently court an obscurity which protects their wee seems from a contrast with the measures of the pre sent Government. On the side of Government, we know of no measure that it has in contemplation which is likely to meet even a slight opposition, except the plan for the Irish colleges, and the enlargement of the Maynooth grant, and to these scarcely a formidable opposition can be anticipated. It is true th'.t some of the men (Dia senters), most active in promoting the grant of power to the Irish Roman Catholics, are now clamorous against the adoption of the only means by which that power can be diverted from implacable hostility to Protestant institutions. But the very fact that these bitter enemies of the Estabqshed Church are foremost in the cry against the enlargement of the Maynooth grant will at least cause Churchmen to pause, and listen to the reasons which the Minister has to offer, before condemning the measure. As to principle, the principle of that measure has been for fifty years recognised, by the grant of nine thousand pounds a year. And let us add, a much worse principle has been introduced more recently in the ap poiuttnent of Roman Catholic chaplains to prisons and workhouses. The battle, therefore, cannot be fought on the ground of principle ; and upon a question of mere expediency it is vain to pretend high grounds of oh:). ction. They who think that the Irish Roman Catholic priests will be more obstinately bigotted, more bitterly hostile to England, if better educated, will do well to oppose the augmentation of the grant. They who hold the opposite opinion in both respects, to which, number we confess ourselves to belong, will look with com placency upon an experiment, the worst effect of which will be, merely to throw away some money; for worse than it is the system of education among the Roman Catholic clergy cannot be ; %bile the accompanying establish ment of open colleges, of which the enlerged grant to Maynooth is, perhaps, a necessary auxiliary, can pro duce nothing but unmixed good. This is a subject, however, to which we must again refer. Upon a fair view of the prospects of the s, ssion, there is no reason why it may not terminate in July or even in June; and this though many useful measures of legislature be corn pkted in the interval—a most useful return to ancient practice. TDB MONSTER BELL FOR YORIL MINSTER.—Mon day, the monster bell, intended for York Minster, was exhibited, for the first time, at the Bazaar, Baker-street, and was viewed by a great number of persons. It was brought here on Friday last, on a truck, which we ighed about five tors, and drawn by eighteen horses. It is sus pended by strong iron chain slings (its weight being about sixteen tons), which are supported by four upright pillars, fastened by transverse beams. The exhibition will be continued several weeks, when it will be re moved, per railway, to York, where it will be placed in the cathedral, in the toyer, at a height of about 200 feet. It will be placed diagonally in the tower for greater se curity to the building, and above 300 cu bi c f ee t o f t i m b er will be used for its support. It is to be rung with two wheels, and will revolve entirely, if necessary , fi ve or s i x men being required for the purpose. The proceeds arising from the exhibition are to be devoted towards the pur chase of a clock and quarter bell, to be placed in the same tower. The bell is to be named " Peter of York." It is the largest in the kingdom, being five tons he.evier than " Old Tom" of Oxford, and seven tons h eav i er t h an the celebrated " Tom" of Lincoln.. The Cost of it is above 2,000/. ; its height seven feet seven inches, and its diameter eight feet four inches. PROPOSED GRANT TO MAYNOOTTL—A requisition has been presented to the Mayor of Heading, signed by upwards of eighty of the most bigoted inhabitants, in cluding twelve clergymen, for a public meeting to be con vened, for the purpose of adopting petitions to the Legis lature against the proposed increase of the grant to May nooth. The meeting has been appointed to take place in the Town Hall, on Friday next. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH. 26, 1845. MEETING OF LICENSING MAGIS- Mr. Humphries thought it was more frequently done than his Worship was aware of. Mr. Joseph Montague said that, after the lamentable death of his late uncle and aunt, he took possession of the whole of the books and papers in the shop, and handed them over to Mr. Boyce, the accountant. Mrs. Lucy Bears, the wife of a gardener at Camber well, deposed that she was laundress to the late Mr. and Mrs. Montague, and was in the frequent habit of calling at their shop ; and was also laundress to the family of Mr. Smith, a gentleman who resided in the same row. In the month of September last, she was in the shop of Mr. Montague, and heard him and Mrs. Montague in conversation about money matters. The prisoner Muy was in the shop at the time, and bad he been listening must have beard what Mr. and Mrs. Montague said. TRATES FOR FINSBURY. At the above meeting of Magistrates held, by adjourn ment, yesterday in the Committee-room of the Mid dlesex Sessions House, Clerkenwell, there were in all twenty-eight applications for licenses to sell exciseable liquors•by retail—namely, in the parish of St. Mary, Islington, 21 ; St. James's, Clerkenwell, 4 ; and in the parish of St. Luke, 3. Mr. Samuel Prime, cabinet- maker, 14, Lewcr-road, Islington, applied for and obtained a license for the house No. 41, Gerrard•street. Mr. George Just next applied for a license to a house at the corms of College-place, Highbury-vale. The application had been made on several former occasions without success. Mr. WILKS, the Chairman, now observed to Mr. Just, that in consequence of his excellent character and the highly creditable manner in which he had conducted his house, and which had given satisfaction to all the neigh bouring gentry, the bench had determined on granting him a license. A MAGISTRATE observed, after the applicant had with drawn, that the club. room of the house contained the most varied and beautiful specimens of stuffed birds and Indian ornaments he hail ever seen. Mr. George Dennis applied for a license to the Golden Lion, No. 24, Great William-street, CaleConian-road. The Bench granted the license. THE GREAT CONTENDING RAILWAYS FROM LONDON TO Could not recollect whether there was any other person in the shop at the time besides Mr. and Mrs. Montague, the prisoner, and herself, but her impression was that the prisoner had heard what had been • said by the de- ceased, as it had been spoken in rather a loud tone of voice. Mr. Montague said he could not think what was the reason why Mrs. Smith did not discharge his bill as welt as the rest of her tradesmen. He said he under• stocd Mrs. Smith had paid every tradesman but him, and could not think the reason she should have excepted him. He further said that Mr. Smith wes a builder, and perhaps might have wanted the money for another pur pose. There was another occasion, about Christmas last, when she (witness) was iu the shop of Mr. Montague, and heard him speak about Airs. Smith, No. 9 in the row. At the time there were other persons in the shop, but she could not recollect how many or who they were. The prisoner was packing up a basket of goods, and might have heard the deceased if he had been listening. Mrs. Montague said to her husband, " Serve you right ; you should have taken your bill to No. 9 yourself, and you would have got your money." Witness thought the person meant by this conversation was Mrs. Smith, at No. 9. _ _ YORK. It being generally expected that the terminus of the successful railway company of the line from London to Yolk will be formed at or near the end of the Caledo nian-road, there were no less than three applications for licenses in the immediate vicinity—viz., Mr. Henry Blore, for No. 1, Caledonian-terrace, corner of Albion street, Caledonian-road ; Mr. Robert James Stuckey, for the house No. 9, Stuckey-terrace East ; and Mr. Matthew Hitchcox, for No. 1, Melville-terrace, Caledo nian-road. Mr. Clarkson appeared for Mr. Blore, Mr. Payne for Mr. Stuckey, and Mr. Bodkin for Mr. Hitchcox. The counsel having severally addressed the Bench for their respective clients, and the room having been cleared of strangers, the magistrates deliberated for about three-quarters of an hour, and upon the re-admis sion of the parties concerned, the Chairman announced the decision of the Bench to be in favour of Mr. Hitch cox, who thereupon named his house the Star and Garter. The other two applications were for the present refused. The remainder of the business transacted was of an unimportant character. Mr. Wallinger hero handed to Mr. Henry a bill, made out in the handwriting of Mr. Montague, and which had been found in the ledger after his death, and in which was inserted the amount weekly of the goods supplied to Mr. Smith, from the 'month of 'April, 1844, to Christmas, and which amounted in the aggregate to 28/. Bs. Oya., and said, that coupling this with the circumstances men tioned by the last witness, there was a strong presump tion that the deceased had been under the impre.sion that this amount was still owing by Mr. Smi:h, and in confirmation of this opinion he pointed out the exact amount, 26/. Bs. Old., written by the deceased in the margin of the ledger. Mr. HENRY . would leave the case to be submitted to the grand jury, if th• prosecuting party should think proper to send a bill of indictment before them. For his own part, he did not think the case sufficiently made out or strong enough to send it before a petty jury. It was his duty not to send a ease for trial unless he saw acme reasonable. grounds for a conviction, and as he did not see any chance for a conviction in the present case, and as it was, in fact, doubtful whether a judge would have let the case go to a jury at all, he should discharge'the prisoner. The prisoner, on leaving the dock, was joined by a crowd, of friends, who had previously thronged the Court, aid who upon hearing of the determination ofthe magistrate, gave way to some exultation. _ - WORSHIP-STREET. _ _ ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Kingston, March 25. The Commission for the county of Surrey was opened on Monday, and this morning both Courts sat for the dispatch of business, Lord Chief Justice Denman pre siding on the civil side, and Mr. Baron Alderson in the Crown court. Altho gh there was a good delivery at the sessions last week, there are thirty-fire prisoners for trial at these assizes. On the civil side fifty-nine causes arc entered, and six of them are to be tried by special juries. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Davy Tanner, alias William Stenip, 26, Jemes Haines, 23, Thomas Lonyky, 22, Matthew Hill, 43, and Thomas Adams, 28, were indicted for a misdemeanor, in, being unlawfully upon certain lands in the occupation of John Sparkes, at Wonersh, in the night time, armed with guns, and other offensive weapons, in pursuit of game. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Robinson with Mr. Charnock, defended all the prisoners, except Tanner, who had no counsel. It appeared from the evidence of a man named Hoar, who is in the service of Mr. Sparkes, the prosecutor, that on the night of the 17th December he heard the sound of fire-arms in a wood at Wonersh, called Jay's Copse, and while he was going in the direction from whence the firing appeared to proceed, he heard the re ports of two guns, and at the same moment there was a rush made in the wood, and he saw five men come out into a field, two of them being armed with guns. He followed them for some distance, and at length went close to the men, and he then discovered that they were the prisoners, all of whom were inhabitants of the neighbourhood, and with whose persons he was well ac quainted. Upon the Copse — being examined on the fol lowing morning, a quantity of pheasant's feathers and some fresh blood were found upon the ground. The jury found the prisoners I:uilty, but recommended them to mercy on the ground that they had not used any violence toward; the keeper. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said that this was always a circumstance favourable to the accused in cases of this description ; but such offences were of so dangerous a character, and so frequently led to the shedding of blood, that it was impossible to pass them over without such punishment being inflicted as would be likely to deter others from their commission. He then sentenced Langley, Tanner, Haines, and Hill, who have already been in gaol for three months, to be kept to hard labour for a further period of six months; and Adams, who had been out on bail, was sentenced to nine mouths' hard labour. SERIOUS AND EXTXNSIVE DEPREDATIONS.—Six young labouring men, named Taylor, Hawes, Shepherd, Sibley, Morel!, and Dewhins„ were placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged, in conjunction with .a man named Richard Angle, the foreman at Dixon's horse repository in Barbican, with having stolen a large quan tity of meadow hay and clover, the property of the em ployer of the last-named prisoner, and Mr. Will:an: Banhes, a corn-chandler in Brick-lane, Spitalfields, was charged with having feloniously received possession of the stolen property. Mr. Humphries, the solicitor, attended to conduct the prosecution ; Mr. Hunt appeared for the prisoner Bankes, and . Mr. Vann on behalf of the other prisoners. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. William Larman, an extensive haydealer at Enfield, that on Thursday morning last the six first-named prisoners, who were in his service as carmen, were dispatched to town in charge of eleven loads of hay, clover, and saintfoin, which Here consigned to Mr. Sineaton, a salesman in Whitechapel market, to be disposed of. On the same afternoon, eight of the loads were purchased by Mr. Dixon, to whose premises in Barbican the prisoners were sent to deliver them. Shortly after they had left the witness, who had followed them to town to super intend the sale, received information that the pri soners had diverged considerably out of their direct road to Barbican, and had called and left a quan tity of hay at the house of the prisoner Bankes, in Brick- lane, to which he accordingly proceeded, and found one of his carts standing in front of the door. The prisoner Morell had charge of the cart ; and on ac cusing him of being there for a dishonest purpose, he admitted, after some hesitation, that the prisoner Bankes had received from each of them a truss of hay, w hich he bad deposited in his shop. Bankes, who was standing at his shop door at the time, on hearing this confession, precipitately retreated into a back nom, and on entering the shop witness observed ten trusses of hay, which he felt satisfied were his property, and accordingly insisted upon seeing Bankes, who soon after emerged from the back parlour ; and on being accused of having received the stolen property, at first faintly denied it, but ulti mately acknowledged having received it from bis men, and begged him to look over the matter. Witness then sent for Taylor, the keeper of Whitechapel market, who on arriving, asked Bankes if he hed not also purchased some clover, which he positively denied having dime, but 1.11 being closely pressed, he at length unlocked the dour of a room at the back pert of the shop, and pointed out two trusses of clover, which he admitted having bought of the prisoners. He was then taken into custody, and the officer went in search of the rest of the prisoners, whom he found in a state of partial intoxication, and also apprehended. Taylor, the market-keeper, said that on taking the youngest of the prisoners (Dawkins) into custody, he •expressed extreme contrition for his conduct, and declared that he bad been drawn into the robbery be , thei . other prisoners, in conjunction with whom he con tested having. committed another robbery about two months previously, when he had a cart-load of clover t deliVer at Mr. Dixon's, three trus. es of which he kept back and sold to the prisoner Bankes. For that trans action he received is. Gd , 4s. of which he handed over to the prisoner Angle, whose duty it was to see the clover properly delivered at the repository. The pri soner then entered into a detail of the robbery com mitted on Thursday last, and stated that the foreman, Angle, at that time also received a considerable share of the produce after the bay had been delivered at hie master's premises. James and Henry Overnell, two lads about fifteen or sixteen years of age, proved that they accompanied the prisoners when they conveyed the hay to the repository, and that they saw six of the trusses left at the premises of_ the prisoner Bankes, who gave at the rate of 2s. each for them. Alfred Seares, the clerk at the Repository, proved that, on the day in question, Angle, whose duty it was to see all the fodder correctly delivered, brought him two written veuehers to that effect, and received in return two receipt notes fur the full quantity. On being called upon for their defence, the prisoners, by the advice of their solicitors, deelined saying anything at present. Mr. Humphries, for the prosecution, then said that a widely-ramified system of plunder had been carried on for a considerable length of time, and he must request the magistrate to remand the prisoners, in order that he might be enabled to complete the case against them. Mr. BROUGHTON said that it was Inelaneholy to see such a number of men, hi lding comfortable and respon sible situations, engaged in such a wholesale system .of robbery upon their employers, and in which also nearly all the witnesses were proved to be more . or less impli eated ; but, as the case had been clearly established, he should direct the depositions to be taken down as far as they went, and order the prisoners to be brought up again next week for their completion. CLERKENIVELL. Two men named Amos and Josephs were fined ss. each, or seven days' imprisonment, for setting two dugs to fight in St. John-street, at use o'clock on the previous evening. Thomas Harvy was charged with an assault of a very savage nature on the landlord of the Red Lion public house, Warner-street, Clerkenvvell. The prisoner became exceedingly insolent to the land lady, upon which the landlord told him to go out ; he refused, and the landL;rd with great violence strove to eject him, the landlady likewise attacking the prisoner, who, in defence, sei2e2d a quart pot, and struck the com plainant on the head with it. The prisoner was fined 55., or five days' imprisonment. SOUTH WA RK. CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—John Salis, a furrier, living in Webber-street, Waterloo-road, was brought before Mr. Traill, charged with exercising great cruelty to a horse. . . . . Police-sergeant 19 M, said, that about one o'clock this morning he saw the prisoner driving a horse and cart in the Kent-road, with upwards of ten persons in the latter. He was beating the horse in a cruel manner, with the butt-end of a large whip. The load was so heavy that it was impossible for the animal to draw the cart: He was compelled to take the prisoner into cus tody, owing to his repeating his cruel treatment to the horse. _ _ prisoner said that after the omnibuses had left ff running from Greenwich Fair, he took up a few passengers, and was driving them towards the Llephant and Castle at an easy rate, when the o ffi cer stopped the horse. He was compelled to use the whip to make • the animal go on again. Mr. TRAILL said it was quite clear that he had ill used. the animal in a cruel manner; he should therefore fine him 20s. for that offence. lie directed Inspector Froud to give information to the Excise respecting his plying fur hire without a licence, as he deserved to be punished. It is rumoured that Sir Watkin W. Wynn, Bart., will be the Lord-Lieutenant of Flintshire, in the room of the late Marquis of Westminster. SCARCITY OF VEGETABLES.—Within the last three weeks there has been experienced a greater scarcity of vegetables in the London markets, than has been known to have been the case for the last nine years past. This circumstance has arisen from the severe frosts, which, until within the last three days, has continued for up ward of three weeks. Parsnips which were being re tailed at this season last year, at from one penny to three halfpence a piece, are now selling at from twopence to fourpence. Carrots are proportionably dear, whilst turnips scarcely fit for use, are being sold at sixpence bunch. Greens of all kinds are excessively scarce, and very indifferent samples are selling at high prices. Savoys, which at Christmas night be obtained at one penny each, are now fetching fourpence, whilst brocoli' sprouts and other coleivorta are completely dried up by the late frosts. NOVELTIES, INVENTIONS, AND CHANGES. The rage for novelty is the pervading passion of all classes of Londoners. They are the most exigeant people in the world in this respect, and the inventive faculties of our artists, manufacturers, and crafts men must be sorely taxed to find the wherewithal to gratify this restless entichement. The fair and graceful denizens of Mayfair, the "travelled beaux" who throng the stately salons of Holder ness House,- or Devonshire House, the fat and greasy citizens, and the plodding tradesman who drives hebdomadally in his gaudy phaeton to his cottage, with a double coach-house on Claphatii common, are one and all equally affected by this de : sire. If novelty can be combined with utility, Cant rnieux, but if not, the mass of useless frivolities, which are to be found in our shop windows, bear ample evidence of the facility N 1 ith which this taste may be gratified. Some graceful novelty, which is invariably com bined with utility and elegance, is always to be found at that vast establishment in Regent-street, near to the Quadrant, which is occuped by Messrs. Nicoll. The inventive powers of the artist who presides over this temple of fashiGn are always at work. The rami fications of his far-spreading fame extend into every capital of Europe. The gorgeous East is ransacked to furnish the costly materials for the rich waistcoats which are laid out in such sumptuous profusion on his counters, and the magnificence of his numerous robes de chanbre is also the object of general attention. He has recently introduced a new species of coat, which is called his " Registered Paletot," and after much trouble, and a considerable display of ingenuity, he has succeeded in constructing a garment which will be equally available for the equestrian or pedestrian. England is undoubtedly burthened with no great debt of gratitude to her sapient legislators, but amongst the few good " Acts" which they have re cently passed is one which empowers inventors to ,ap `propriate to. thernAtlycs, during the space of three years, the profits arising from the "sale 'of the invented article, and this will fortunately enable Mr. Nicoll to derive some benefit from his ingenuity. The ma terial from which these garments are " built," is woven from the wool of the llama, and is of a pecu liarly soft and silken description. The application of the various substances which are used as linings, will render this paletot suitable for either summer or win ter wear. • _ LATEST PRICES OF SHARES :N RAILWAYS, BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COMPANIES' STOCK.

If the wearer find him . Self in any unpleasant predicament which involves the possibility of his being suddenly immersed in gurgite vasto, he can instantly inflate himself up to such a buoyancy, that nothing but a cork could compete with hind; and after having puffed himself up like -thelfogin the fable, he, turns a small screw to keep him in wind," and can then calmly and philosophi cally await the impending danger in all the airtight consciousness of security. " Every man his own Humane Society" seems to be Mr. Wilson's motto ; rowers who avail themselves of his invention may venture forth in frail wager-boats without having be fore their eyes the dread of all that— " horrid apparatus • By which folks are unsuffocated gratis." And the security afforded by these sailing jackets will he no inconsiderable addition to the pleasures of yachting. These air-bags may be fitted into any coat fora comparatively trifling sum. It has been hitherto said that drowning men catch at straws, but if any man on board a sinking boat were discovered to pos sess one of these life-preserving garments, his fellow passengers would find something more substantial to " catch at " than a mere morceau de paille. The numerous washes and cosmetics with which the faded beauties of former days vainly sought to restore the charms of their youth, were laid aside simultaneously with patches, hoop petti coats, &c. They were shot down by the fire of Pope and Swift's satirical artillery. But the teeth and hair are, unfortunately, subject to many of those ills which flesh is heir to, and the whole civilised world bears testimony to the effi cacy and restorative power in several of Messrs. Row land's inventions. It were vain to speak of their Kalydor or Odordo, since the whole periodical press teems with their praisea. The best proof of their real excellence is to be found in the numerous imita tions of these articles, which renders extreme caution necessary ; others ise, the unwary purchaser will he duped, and find his toilette table covered with useless, and, perhaps, ifljurious compounds. In Paris, how ever, the ladies are not content with these adjuncts to beauty. They pace but little reliance in the power of those charms w hich the Arab chiefs lately declared had put the sun out of countenance. They call in the aid of all those artificial adornments of jewellery and bijouterie with which M. Piot tempts his fair cus tomers. 'What numbers of coroneted carriages now " stop the way" on the broad and noble Boulevard des Italiens, at the establishment which he has re cently opened near to the Opera Comique ! The se lection of jewellery which English ladies have brought to this country from M. Piot's shop, speaks volumes in favour of his taste, judgment, and work manship. Whatever be the epithets which M. Thiers may to England, M. Piot has as sur thinke dlyno rightfit to apply totatk-atiout " perfide Albion," for the natives of our isle flock in large numbers to the establishment, and do not allow a day to elapse after their arrival in Paris without making extensive emplettes.— Post.

REVELATIONS or SPAIN IN 1845.—This work is calculated to, excite extraordinary attention. As a picture of the actual state of Spain, and as a collection of facts relating to persons and events which form the theme of daily conversation in society, it is intensely in teresting. Espartero, Narvaez, Olozaga, Isabella, Chris tina, are brought upon the scene with all the freedom of history, th. it characters delineated, their actions examined, their motives scrutinised, and their policy de veloped. There is also much valuable information upon the subject of parties, the Camarillas, party leaders, the Spanish army, the Church, the secular clergy, agricul ture, o n l n o o n t ie commerce, and national manners. w e too strongly recommend the work to the c c at s o we, notice of the reader.—John Bulgy FIRES. —Monday night, shortly before midnight, a fire broke out on the premises in the occupation of Mr. R. Hurst, trimming manufacturer, 10, Quaker-street, Spitalfields. The building in" which the outbreak oc curred is a substantial erection situate next door to the Castle public-house. Flames were first perceived issu ing from the Windows of one of the lower floors under neath the workshops by police-constable Wright, "52 H. He instantly gave the alarm, and the family escaped from the burning building. Information of the outbreak was immediately forwarded to Mr. Braidwood, at the Watling-street station, and in a short space of time engines from Watling-street, Jeffery-square, White cross-street, and other stations of the brigade, were upon the spot. For some time, although a plentiful supply of water was furnished to the engine belonging to Messrs. Truman and Hanbury's establishment, which was first at the fire, the fli4mes continued to progress, and it was Vk ith difficulty that the fire was got under, and pi evented from extending to the adjoining buildings. How it originated could not be ascertained. Before the above Pre was extinguished information was received by the firemen that anether outbreak had occurred upon the premises occupied by Mr. Freeman, furniture broker, Crombie's-row, Commercial-road East. A valuable stock was principally destroyed by fire and water. Cause of occurrence unexplained. Insurance unknown. MANCIIESTER.—The corporation have completed negotiations with Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart, for the pur chase of the manorial rights of the town, which are esti mated to be worth 218,7551. The average proceeds for the last few years have been 9,2141. 16s. Bd., arising from tolls, properties, &c. The council, after mature deliberation, have agreed to pay Sir Oswald Mosley the sum of 200,0001. for the whole of his manorial rights and properties, and to mortgage them for the interest of the amount, which is to be paid at the rate of 31- per cent. per,annum. They have also agreed to pay off the prin cipal by instalments of not less than 4,0001, and of not more than 6,0001. per annum. By this arrangement it is calculated that the tolls, chief rents, &c., will realise 1,0001. a year more than the sum required to pay the interest, _ _ Mr. Stephenson, private secretary to Sir Robert Peel, has been appointed messenger to the Order of the Bath, vacant by the retirement of Mr. Pulman. The more proper designation of the office would be that of Plogirvf-getteral and treasurer to the Order.—Observer ARRIVAL OF PART OF THE WINDBOUND FLEET.— During Monday the Thames, below London-bridge, had an animated and bustling appearance, in conse quence of the arrival of upwards of thirty sail of vessels laden with valuable cargoes, that had been detained in the chops of the Channels, some of them nearly three weeks, by the 'late north-easterly winds. Among the arrivals were—from China, 3; Calcutta, 3; Ceylon, 1; Mauritius, 1; Demerara, 1; Antigua, 1; Alexandria, 1; Odessa, 1; Villa Nova, 1; Lisbon, 1; St. Michael's, 4; Cadiz, 3 ; Gibraltar, 2 ; Marseilles, 1; Terceira, 2. Numerous other vessels from foreign ports having arrived too late to get docked yesterday afternoon, anchored. in various parts of the river above the Nore. The present influx of shipping will occasion considerable bustle and activity at the Custom-house and in the re spective docks, where employment will be given to hun dreds of poor labourers.

The Lord Chief Justice disposed of several Common Jury Causes, none of which were of any interest to the public. Liverpool, March 24. The Commission for this division of the county was opened to-day by Mr. Justice Coltman. Samuel Brown, 22, was indicted for having, on the Bth November last, stabbed Lancelot Read, on the high seas, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. The prisoner was a seaman on board the Sir Charles Napier, from St. Anne's to Liverpool, and in the course of the voyage quarrelled with the prosecutor, the captain, and, drawing a knife, stabbed him in the region of the abdomen. The captain fell, and was carried into the cabin, where one of the parties on board attempted to replace the entrails which had protruded, but being unsuccessful in the attempt, the party made the wound still larger, and then succeeded in effecting his object. The prosecutor was ill ten days at sea, and five weeks after the arrival of the Sir Charles Napier at Liverpool. The prisoner in his defence alleged that the captain had first knocked him down. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE, and a full Bench of Magistrates.) The second March sessions for the county of Middlesex commenced yesterday morning, at ten, in the Court house, Clerkenwell-green, when the number of prisoners .whose names appeared upon the calendar for trial was eighty-nine, of whom eighty-one were charged with felony, the remainder being for assaults and mis demeanants. In none of the cases did there appear any features beyond those ordinarily coming before the Court. Owing to the circumstance Of it having been expected that the horrible and revolting atrocities which have disgraced the metropolis in the Spa-fields burying ground would have been brought before the Court to day, and owing to the fact of the Court hou , e being in the immediate neighbourhood of the churchyard, the Court was densely crowded by the inhabitants, who ex pressed strong hopes that the most stringent measures would be taken for the repression of the nuisance. It was understood that a bill of indictment would be pre ferred before the grand jury by the parish authorities against the parties who are the ostensible proprietors of the burying-ground, at as early an hour as possible. An omnibus-conductor, named Joseph Sleigh, was in dicted for stealing half-a-crown, and two shillings and sixpence in silver, the property of William, Archbishop of Canterbury. In another count of the indictment the property was laid as that of George Henry Maughan. The charge was in reality for taking the amount of money specified from the pockets of a gentleman named Beache, who had died in the cab. The particu lars have appeared. The property was described in the indictment as that of Mr. George Henry Maughan, as the next of kin and executor of the deceased, and also as belonging to the Archbishop of Canterbury, as the ordinary of the diocesan district. Mr. PA.YNS made a very able speech in defence of the prisoner, and contended that in the incidental hurry and confusion any other person might have taken the money as well as the prisoner; after which he called several witnesses who gave him an excellent character. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver dict of acquittal, and the prisoner left the dock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH. THE LATE CASE OF POISONING AT CAMISERWELL.— On Monday, after the other charges, which did not pos sess the slightest feature of public interest, had been disposed of, George Moil, the shopman and confidential servant of the late Mr. Montague, a grocer at Camber well, who, as well as his wife, had been poisoned on the 11th of last month, currendered to his bail, to undergo his final examination before Mr. Henry, on a charge of embezzlement and forgery. Mr. Wall;nger, the banister, and Mr. Dodd, the vestry clerk of Camberwell parish, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ilumphries, the solicitor, attended on behalf of the prisoner. Previous to the case being entered on, Mr. Wallinger, in reply to a question from Mr. Henry, said that Le had caretully considered the nature of the evidence against the prisoner, and his impression was, that there was sufficient to send the case before a jury on the charge of embezzlement, but with respect to the charge of forgery he should rot at present press it. The Learned Gentleman then called Mr. Samuel Church Boyce, an accountant, who deposed that he had investigated the accounts of the late Mr. Montague, and from them he vas of opinion that the deceased was in solvent circumstances at the time of his death. The witness was here askei as to his opinion on a bill made out by the late Mr. Montague, of moneys due to him from Mr. Smith, one of his customers; but Mr. Hum phries ohjected to his doing so. Mr. HENRY admitted the objection, and told Mr. Wal linger that all that could be done would be to put the account itself in, and leave the jury, as men of business, to draw their own conclusions from it. Mr. Ilumt'hries, in his cross-examination of Mr. Boyer, asked if he was aware that there had been any administration to the effects of the deceased ?—when two of the nephews of the late Mr. Montague, who were present, ruse, and said that their father, who was brother to the deceased, had administered to his effects, and that letters of administration had been regularly granted to him. Mr. lIENRY supposed the object of Mr. Humphries in putting the question was to ascertain the amount proved? Mr. Humphries replied that he would at once tell. His object in putting it was this:—lt had been stated that no letters of administration had been taken out to the effects of the deceased, and this was rendered the more probable from the fact of the deceased being in solvent. Mr. HENItY remarked that it was very seldom indeed that parties administered to an insolvent estate. PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED. J. Newman and J. R. Watt, stationers, Watling-street, City—R Walker ant‘R.

SuoAR.—A further increase has taken place in the demand for West India Sugar, the grocers have pur chased freely of all descriptions, paying prices fall - , equal to those of this day week for brown and common yellow, but 6d to is above for good :nd fine kinds, the Refiners have operated with more freedom, and the rates given are fully qual to those pre viously quoted. On Wednesday the private purchases amo..nted to 750, and on Thursday to 400 hhds and tierces; the market was closed on Friday on account of the holidays, and will remain so until to-morrow. There is still a short supply of bright yellow descriptions, but of all other sorts there is a large stock. Brown West India Sugar is worth 36s to 439, low and middling yellow 43s to 48s, good 495 to 535, and fine 54s to 58s per cwt. The arrivals have been small, whereas the deliveries having been large, the surplus in the comparative stocks is not so large as it was.
