GREAT TROTTING MATCH. A match, which for some time past has excited considerable interest in the spotting world, came off yesterday on Sunbury Common. The terms required that a chesnut mare, eight years old, belonging to a Mr. Dixon of Knightsbridge, should trot 100 miles in harness within ten hours or ten hours and a half, 2001. to 1001. being started against her doing it in the first mentioned time, and 100/. even against the latter. The start took place at 20 minutes before 6 in the morning, and the whole distance was done with the most perfect ease 3 minutes and 57 seconds within the 10 hours, including a stoppage of two or three minutes at the end of every 20 miles. She was driven by a Mr. Stacey, the same party who trained and drove her when she did a similar match some months back. She was got by a celebrated trotting stallion, now belonging to Mr. Harry England, called Flander's Fireaway, purchased of the late Mr. Gould, of Swaffham, and bred by Mr. Flanders in the Isle of Ely, out of a thorough-bred mare ; she is about 15 hands high, and is remarkably neat and level in her shape. The ease with which she stole over the ground, without ap pearing to go any pace, was generally admired. From the style in which she finished there can be no doubt that she could have done 20 miles more without difficulty. MONTREAL, MAncu 18.—Wednesday an extraordinary feat in travelling was performed by Mr. T. B. English. That day morning he left Cornwall, accompanied by his daughter and a gentleman, at half-past eight, breakfasted at Lancaster, dined at Goteau-du-Lac, refreshed his horse ut the intermediate stages, and arrived in this city at half-past six, accomplishing a distance of 90 miles in ten hours. The horse is well-known as the celebrated Rob Roy. NE IVP 0 R T-PA G NEL STEEPLE CHASE. This match, for lOogs., between Mr. Chace's ch. horse, ridden by Captain Beecher, and Mr. Harris's gray, ridden by an innkeeper at Wotton, came off on Monday, near Newport- Pagnel, at two. The ground was most judiciously chosen, nearly the whole line being over grass land, with several tole rably stiffleaps. The start was in a field near Moulsa Church, a short distance from the London-road from Newport, taking a line by the farm at the summit of the hill, and down from thence to and across Crawley-lane, over the brook, round a flag in a field adjoining, and back again over the same ground, making a distance of about four miles. The hill in the middle of the line afforded an excellent spot for spectators, a consi derable number of whom had there assembled, as well as upon every other elevated spot which commanded a view of the flags, the unusual fineness of the day increasing the attraction to witness the sport. A few minutes after two the signal was given for starting. Both horses cleared the first fence well together—the grey a little a-head, the chesnut lying close to him. At the second fence (a hedge and ditch) the grey horse fell, giving his rider a somerset, and slightly injuring his left arm. He was, nevertheless, up again and off; and as the chesnut took little advantage of the accident, the grey was soon in his place again, and made the running from the top of the bill, taking three or four fences only a few yards a-head of the chesnut in very cool order, till they arrived at the formi dable bank, with a bush hedge at the top, and a ditch on each side, which separated the field from Crawley-lane, and into which, from the top of the hank, was an awkward and steep descent. On reaching this leap both horses, like the troop in " Mazeppa," " Approached—retired—wheerd round and round," when after a short reconnoitre the grey made a dash at, and reached the top of the bank, where, pausing and trembling for a moment, he made a beautiful and SE fe leap from thence into the lane, followed by Captain Beecher, who at this point made rather quicker work of it. Arrived in the lane, the brook pre sented itself; and although riot very wide in some places, the rules prevented much ground being taken for choice. The grey horse charged it, first getting clear over, and was quickly waited upon by the chesnut into the lane, at the further end of which stood the flag ; and after going round this flag the ground was to be returned over. The grey kept the lead to the flag and back again to the brook, which he at first refused, the chesnut taking it in his line—both, however, were in the lane together; and charged the bank at the same moment, ping first on to it, and then into the field.. The grey ag 'n took the lead, and though closely pressed by Capt a in Bee er, maintained his part throughout both in ascending and descending the bill. Through- the last three fields both horses worked hard; but notwithstanding the "consummate jockeysitip" of Captain Beecher, the chesnut could neither pass nor reach the grey, whose speed and bottom carried him through triumphantly, winning with apparent case by about two lengths. EXTRAORDINARY LEAP.—A few days ago, a two-year old filly, got by Androgeus, late the property of Mr. Watson, of Shipton, Yorkshii e, performed a great leap on. the grounds in the occupation of Mr. Burrell, of Thorpe Woods, over a (Etch 28 feet wide.

They met at Nunny kirk. When drawing up the Cicuge Gill, the fox was seen taking his departure from Cadger Fort Whin, gaining little advantage. He broke over Green Leighton Moor, passed Newbiggen, and went to ground at Corby's Cove, one of the highest ridges of the Simonside Hills. The distance from point to point is six miles, and was run in 22 minutes. They found a second fox in Netherton Old Park. lle broke west by the Trench, Healey Mill, crossed the water, went through the Ness Park Wood, and being headed back at the top of the wood, crossed the water at Netherwitton. He then passed into the bottom of the Old Park 'Wood, through the wood again, also through Cold Law Wood, and passed Buckslaw • north of Thoppie, and crossed the water into Pigdon Banks, through Pigdon Wood, where the bounds changed foxes, and turned west by Maiden pall Banks, through Nunriding Wood, pas t Stanton Mill , Langshaw , Old Park , and French Woods, through New Park and Dixon's Woods, where the bounds were stopped at six, no one being up but the huntsman and first whip. Reports of a spee d y dissolution of parliament were in general circulation last night at the West-end of the town.

" remarkmble for intelligence, and par ticularly for a power of description and a sense of everything around him, of a more stirring and tangible sort than that of any other traveller. No writer makes you live in Spain as he does; nobody makes you pass the day, and live the year round so thoroughly with the inhabitants ; renders you so ac tual a partaker of their breakfast, dinner, and supper, their en joyments and miseries, their town manners and country man ners, their dances, gallantries, mule drivings, balls, prisons, clergymen, landscapes , and cr iminals ; and all is written with a Mixture of southern enthusiasm and northern coolness rarely to be met with.

The :Marquis of _ C lIANDOS brought forward the question of Agricultural Distress last night in the House of Commons, in the form of a motion to the effect, " That in the application of any surplus revenue towards the relief of the burdens of the country, either by the remission of taxation or otherwise, due regard should be had to the necessity of a portion thereof being applied to the relief of the agricultural interests." In advocating the propriety of his motion, the Noble Marquis expatiated at some length on the present de pressed state of the agricultural interests, which he re presented to be worse off now than ever they have yet been. This is a favourite argument with all agricul tural agitators, who, in lieu of more substantial ones, have been in the habit of pressing it into their service once a year, for the last twenty sessions and upwards. Nothing, indeed, is so hacknied as the cry of agricul tural distress. Other interests, equally important, suffer and are silent ; but no sooner does the farmer imagine he feels the pressure of the times, of which all classes equally take their share, than he raises a dread ful shout that he is ruined ; that consequently his case must be instantly investigated by Parliament, and the consideration of every other interest sacrificed to his own. Having sufficiently bewailed the agriculturist's present state of all but absolute destitution, the Noble Marquis went on to defend him from the charge of being a monopolist. "He gloried," he said, "in feeling that the charges of monopoly made against the farmers, was not true ; they did not want to monopo lize any benefit at the expense of their neighbours ; but all they wanted was even-handed justice, and an equal, not a partial, distribution of taxation." These arc pleasant sounding words enough. What a pity then, that they are at utter variance with fact ! If there be one class of men who are greater monopo lists than another, the agricultural is that class. They are monopolists to the amount of many mil lions ; and not only this, but they take spe cial care, by their influence in the House of Com mons, to procure from time to time the repeal of all the taxes which they conceive to be injurious to their interests. The importation of many articles of necessary consumption is almost wholly prohibited on their account ; yet notwithst an di ng this, they still come forward with their lamentations, and insist that their interests are not sufficiently protected by the Legisla ture. In reply to the observation s of the Noble Mar quis, Lord JOHN RUSSELL remarked, " there was the tax for the relief of the poor ; had Government neglected the landed interest in that particular ? No • they had passed a measure calculated to mitigate, the evil—a real, practical measure, one of great advantage to the landowner, the farmer, and the labourer; and one which, when put in force to the full e::teut of which it would be found eventually capable, would, he ventured to say, be productive of a 'reater saving of money to the agriculturist, than any other which could he devised." His LorLhip is quite right in this asser tion. The Poor Law Amendment Act has already been productive of the greatest advantages to the agri culturists, by diminishing the pressure of the Poor rates nearly a million and a half sterling, and will , at no distant , period, be productive of still greater be nefits. How idle, then, in these . men to say that little or nothing has been done for them, and that all other interests have been favourably considered by Parliament but their own ! Have not the taxes on beer, leather, soap, and candles been reduced? Has not the duty on tiles and fire-insurances been reduced also? And can any one say that these reductions are not so much positive relief to the agriculturists? Look, too, at the reductions in the house and window taxes. Surely these arc of advantage to the farmer, unless, indeed, it can be proved that lie lives under the untaxed canopy of heaven ! All things considered, the agriculturists have no great reason to complain of unfair treatment on the part of the Legislature. " Oh firtunati nimium, sua si bona norint Agricola 1---" But it is folly to reason with this body or men. They always have grumbled, and they always will grumble. They were all but ruined, they said, under an unreformed Parliament ; and now they arc being . completely ruined, under a reformed one. Whig hnd Tory 'have alike treated their complaints with indifference, and the consequence is, they are now reduced to such a state of destitution, as might -melt the hem t of a Chi kasaw savage, and " draw iron tears down PlutO's, cheek." Doubtless the prospects of the agriculturists are not in the most flourishing condition just now— certainly not what they were in the glorious times of war - and high prices—still they are not worse than those of other classes of the community.; and so the House thought last night, by rejecting the Marquis of CHANDOS'S motion by a majority of 36. Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Mr. HumE made each a most tri umphant reply to the Noble Mover's doleful repre sentations—misrepresentations perhaps would . be the most appropriate term—and even Sir 'JAMES GRA- -. . 11AM and Sir ROBERT PEEL requested him to with draw his motion, otherwise they would be compelled to vote against him. There is so much truth and justice in the follow ing spirited remarks of the Morning Advertiser, that we hesitate not to put them in a conspicuous place in our columns. " Fair play is bonnie play :" Our readers must be aware that within the last few days several articles have appeared in the columns of some of our Morning and Evening Contemporaries, inculpating the deci sion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, not only with regard to what Mr. Wakley and the ultra-Radical portion of the community have denominated the " gagging clauses" of the Stamp Duties' Bill, but also with regard to the discriminating duties proposed to be levied upon newspapers. It is but right that the public should know that what have been termed the "gagging clauses" in the Bill about to be considered to-mor row, are not clauses thought of or proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but clauses suggested to, and urged upon, him by the whole of the Metropolitan Press, with the solitary exceptions of the Morning Chronicle, the Spectator, and the Examiner, and, therefore, if there be anything improper or un constitutional in the clauses, the cause is not to be found in the Right Honourable Gentleman to whom are confided the financial concerns of the country, but in the proprietors and editors of the existing newspapers, who have justly felt that they have been greatly injured, and very seriously robbed by the printing, publishing, and smuggling of unstamped and illegal publications. With regard to what may be termed the discriminating, or rather the graduated duties upon newspapers, the ques tion can scarcely admit of a decent hearing. The present Stamp Duty is fourpence, with a certain discount, and we need scarcely inform our readers that that duty has not only amply repaid the Government for the transmission of the stamped newspapers by post, but also added considerably to the revenues of the country. It is now, however, proposed to reduce the duty to one penny, in other words, to a postage duty ; andwe put it to our readers whether it be not in every re spect just and right, that those newspapers which are the sources of the greatest expense in the shape of carriage or postage, ought not to pay more than those of smaller size and weight, and that cost comparative little in eithei• way? What principle is there involved in this matter which is not in accor dance with every rule of taxation hitherto observed in this or any other country ? We can very readily imagine that those of our Contempora ries who are in the habit of inflicting upon the public their double sheets would be anxious to escape from the double duty ; but however successful they may be in filling their columns with matter which the public cares nothing about, we are rather inclined to think that it will not be disposed to sanction them in their request to be posted at the same rate of duty as the single sheets. Their accusations, we also beg to remind them, of the Chancellor of the Exchequer having partially selected the size of the Morning Chronicle as the gage by which all single sheets of newspapers are to be tried, are utterly false and un founded. There has been no partiality or leaning in the matter. In diminishing the duty upon newspapers, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer was bound to consult not only the in terests of the revenue, but those also of the existing press. With a Conservative spirit, which some of our Contem poraries would praise in other instances, the Chancellor of the Exchequer made a memorandum of the largest single sheet Morning Paper published in the metropolis, the Morning Chronicle ; and because he did select momentarily the size of that journal as the extent of all single sheet journals, it has been most foolishly and falsely averred that he was de termined to urge and carry the size of that journal as the ne plus ultra of an English newspaper, bearing a penny duty. No such thing. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, with a cordiality, good feeling, and attention to all existing interests, which cannot be too highly praised, has used the utmost exer tions to make himself acquainted with the real merits and bearings of the question, and is quite prepared to adopt any just and rational suggestion upon the subject which may be submitted to him. The Chronicle is a thousand and sixty-six square superficial inches ; but as a proof that there has been no favouritism or partiality in the matter, we think we may with safety state that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will extend the size to eleven hundred or even twelve hundred square superficial inches, if it shall appear upon discussion that a shorter measure would be productive of serious injury to any existing newspaper establishment. For our own part, we have no interest in the matter—the size of this journal is a trifle less than that of the Monthly Chronicle, but had it been larger, we should have felt bound, in consistency with every true prin ciple of taxation, to have submitted to what we, and we only proposed, the graduated duty. We see no reason why any quantity of paper, be it newspaper, pamphlet, or anything else, should not be made to pay the Government for its trans mission. _ _ We cannot quit this subject, in justice to our own feelings, without adverting to an article which appeared in the Morrang Chronicle of yesterday. Our Contemporary, in referring to the omissions in the speech of Lord Lyndhurst, on Monday last, ob serves. " that with respect to another omission, however, there can be no doubt that it must be placed to the account of the Noble and Learned Lord. When his Lordship stated that this Pape': (the Chronic/e) 'was the only Morning Journal that supported the policy and principles of his Majesty's present Government,' he must, strangely enough, have forgotten that the Morning Advertiser fights under the same banners ; and if his informants had dealt honourably by him, they would not have concealed from him the fact that in regard to circulation the Morning Advertiser ranks considerably higher than some of the petitioning journals. We by no means wish to arrogate to ourselves the exclusive advocacy among our Morning Con temporaries of the cause of Ministers, or to connive at any at tempt to set aside the fair claims of our fellow-labourer the Advertiser." We ara obliged to our Contemporary for this handsome and gener ous notice of the Advertiser. It may be that th e patents of the Times and other journals may deem us unworthy of their notice, but we are much more p leas ed with their neglect than we should be with their praise. We are supp orters , al nd on , in g l v t i e t ad of hourCntemporary of the pre sent Government; and, apologizing to any party for the support of it, we trust we shall have ever have reason to be proud of giving it our humble aid. We beg to call the attention of o ur readers to the report, which appears in another colum n , publicofa,ory Meeting held at Bristol on Monda y last. The r clique in that city, it will be recolleetcd, to 11N R uss EL L's refusal to a pp oint old Ex -Alderman DANIEL, to the magisterial office greatly in dudgeon rd ; A:4 and after a hole-and - corner meeting at a counting house, represented by the eveni n g organ of T or yism in Blackfriars, with its usual regard to truth, as a public meeting attended by all the respectable inha bitants of Bristol, the Tory portion of th e C ounc il, which, by the treachery of a liberal " damned to ever lasting fame," we regret to say forms a majority, deter mined to make a little show-off by way of a diversion in favour of their gallant representative Si r R. VYVYAN, who bad, to say the least, made a fool of himself in the House of Commons. Ac cordingly, they passed resolutions at a meeting of Council, in which they thanked Sir RICHARD for imputing corrupt motives to Lord JOHN RUSSELL in his appointment of Macistrates, and at the same time begged the Noble Secretary of State for the Home Department to inform them what those motives were ! The minority (who, by the bye, represent a majority of the burgesses) unable to prevail on their blind and obstinate associates to desist from these pro ceedings, were determined to let the world see what the real sentiments of the pople of Bristol are on this subject. A public Meeting was held at the Guildhall, and counter resolutions, condemning both the conduct of Sir R. VyvyAN, who brought forward charges which he had neither the manliness to press forward nor to retract, and that of the Council who had presumed to call in question the Royal prerogative, were passed. The Paris Papers of Tuesday, received this morn ing, bring a report of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, relative to the ditties on foreign coals. The only Member of the Chamber rho took a decided stand against the restrictive system of the Go vernment, was M. ODILLON BA ItROT. The small- est reduction of the present rate of duty was opposed, both by M. TITIERS and M. DUCHATEL, WllO con tended that they were only employing the policy of England against herself. The Minist:as were of opi nion that Normandy could only be supplied with coals from England or Belgium ; but that as the Belgian Chambers had introduced a law favourable to French commerce, the Belgians were best entitled to the pri vilege of supplying the inhabitants of Normandy with coals. It was further observed that, without some such indulgent measure, Belgium might be led to join the German Commercial Union. M. PA ssY admit ted that England had taken off her exportation duty on coals, " but," added this most sapient States man,_-"- suppose that we were to abolish the impor tation duty, England might then replace the exporta tion duty which she has removed, and whew then could the Normans look for cheap coals ?" This, as brother Sonathan would say, was a complete clincher. Such a supposition was enough to silence the clamours of the Opposition ; and in truth not one of them of fered to refute so miserable an absurdity. Now, M. PASSY ought to know that the British exportation duty on coals never amounted to one half the French importation duty on that article ; ar►d, therefore, allow ing the case which he put to the Chamber possible, the Normans would be gainers to the amount of the diffe rence between the British and French rates of duty. Again, were we, by duties on exportation, to raise the price of coals, we could only effect what the French Ministers themselves deem so desirable—namely, securing a monopoly of the coal trade to Bel gium. Now, this is the last thing the Parlia ment of this country would seek to do ; and, even were it so short-sighted, the Chamber of Deputies would not be debarred from exercising what M. PASSY considers a most effectual counter-check. But the folly of this proceeding is not the worst feature What we most condemn, is the adoption of the yrannical principle that Normandy should be directly and permanently oppressed, rather than that England should have it in her powerto subject the Normans even in it. for an hour to the same evil in a diminished form. In its paternal wisdom the Government closes the market against English coals, and then takes credit to itself for guarding against any fluctuation in prices I The monstrous absurdity of the French prohibitive system, was never better exemplified than in this very question of the coal trade. The only argument in favour of a restrictive system, is the sound policy of cherishing and encouraging certain branches of do mestic industry. Thus when we prohibit the free importation of corn—(a most absurd prohibition we admit)—our defence is the protection of the British agricultural interest, and the wisdom of encouraging the people to raise at home a sufficiency of bread for themselves. It is just the same with every other article upo❑ which we lay a prohibitive importation duty. Not so with the Government of France. The Deputies never trouble their heads about articles pro duced in the country or out of it ; or whether they are imported in a raw, or in a manufactured state. France cannot supply Normandy with coals—this was ad mitted by M. PASSY. Normandy, besides, is the seat of 'large cotton and silk manufactures, which can not be carried on without an immense consumption of coals—and vet here coals arc subjected to a duty which must operate as a direct prohibition There is little else of any importance in these jour nals. The rumours from the north of Spain represent IRIARTE as victorious over the Carlists at Balascoain, where he destroyed a bridge and trenches belonging to the insurgents. PARIS, APRIL 25. A courier was: dispatched on Saturday evening from the Foreign Office for Vienna and Constanti- nople. Yesterday the Council met at the Palace. It is affirmed that measures were agreed upon respecting Spain resembling those adopted by the English Cabinet; that is to say, it was resolved to favour more than ever enrolments for the Queen's service, to furnish farms and ammunition and even money to the Queen's troops, without, however, going so far as England has done, if we may judge by the proclamation of Lord John Hay and the explanation of Lord Palmerston. We are assured that Government has given orders in all the military ports on the ocean to send to Toulon all the ves sels which arc armed. It is also said that the squadron of the Antilles is to come back, and proceed to the latter port. The soldiers who are to receive their discharge were in formed yesterday of the permission which the Government gives them to serve in the Algerine Legion in Spain. They were not informed of the terms, but those who were desirous of enlisting were referred to the Colonel. On the 21st, Iriarte, with a battalion, supported by the gar rison of Pampeluna, attacked the Carlists, who were en trenched at Balascoain, with two pieces of artillery ; he drove them back to the Ulzama, after some resistance, and destroyed their bridge and entrenchments. On the same day the commander of the English squadron received 50 artillerymen and the English Legion 200 in fantry.-21roniteur.

General ConDovA has addressed a dispatch to the Minister of War, in which he states that he had given directions for the evacuation of Lequeitio, and that the garrison embarked in safety before the Carlists could bring their artillery before the town. The fol lowing are extracts from the Madrid Journals relative to the war in the North : MADRID, APRIL 18.—In our official notice yesterday, we gave a copy of the despatch of General Cordova to the Go vernment, dated the 14th instant ; by the same channel letters have keen received, from which it appears that on the 11th a Council of Generals was held, at which it was determined to evacuate Lequeitio, and make war on the whole coast (hosti le:an) It appears that General Cordova had long contem plated this operation, but had refrained from carrying it into effect out of regard to the inhabitants. At the departure 'of the post the troops, to the number of 16,000, were on their march to reinforce St. Sebastian, and there was every proba bility that in a few days the rebels would be entirely driven from the coast, and forced back upon their barren mountains, where there is little likelihood of their maintaining their posi- thin, looking to the superiority of our forces, who are con stantly blockading them within a narrower circle.—National. APRIL 20.—We are assured that the Procuradores of the kingdom, to a considerable number, have presented a pet:tion praying that the Cabinet may be reorganized by individuals of the Movement party, and who have given positive proofs of their desire to see the nation properly constituted. The rebel forces existing in the principality of Catalonia, do not amount to 12,000 men, and in consequence of the vi gorous persecution to which they are exposed by our troops, the greater part are divided into insignificant parties. On the 7th the town of Blanes, in Catalonia, was attacked by 1,500 men upder the chiefs Zorilla and Mallorca. The National Guards defended themselves with the utmost bravery, the firing having lasted till night, when the rebels retired, leaving many killed on the field, and taking with them seve ral wounded.—Eco del Conimercio. DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE. THIS DAY. The Committee met this day at one o'clock; but in con sequence of the absence of one of the members, business was not proceeded with till near two o'clock. Mr. HurroN, on the part of the sitting Member, objected to the vote of John Robinson, who acted as a street agent for West and Hamilton at the election. The evidence relative to this person's vote was read at length. It appeared he was employed as an agent by Captain Childers. one of the Committee of the petitioners—that at one period of the election he expected to receive 11. a day for his services ; but at his examination before the Commissioners, he declared himself an unpaid agent. Other witnesses de posed to conversations with the voter, in which he declared his intention not to vote unless he received employment as an agent, and to the expectation of receiving payment. The Committee resolved—That there is sufficient evidence to show that payment or promise of payment, was made to John Robinson for hiCservices at the late election, and his vote must therefore be disallowed. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are the French, Ostend, and Malta Mails—the latter by the Confiance—sailed from Malta, April 6th, and Cadiz, April 16th. We have also ship letters from Savannah. Accounts from Vittoria to the 18th of April state that Gen. Cordova was still there. On the I Gth an engagement took place in the Canton of Minano Mayor, between four battalions and three squadrons of Carlists commanded by Villareal, and the 3d Light Infantry and 80 Cavalry under th 6 command of Col. O'Donnoll. The General-in-Chief immediately repaired to the field. On his arrival he found the enemy had been put to the route by two charges of the Cavalry—the Carlists had 200 men killt;(1 and wounded and 14 were taken. Forty of the Queen's troops were put hors de combat ; an officer of the Etat Major was killed. The enemy were driven into an entrenched camp which they formed at Luco. On the 17th the enemy made another demonstration ; but Col. O'Donnell having made his appearance, they immediately returued to their en trenched camp. We have accounts this morning of the unsettled state of the Ministry at Lisbon, and the positive refusal of Carvalho to go into the Finance department. The accounts from Greece received to-day are of a very complex character. The northern provinces remained in an unsettled state, and a change in the Ministry was on the eve of taking place. The King had quite recovered from his recent illness. The British fleet continued at Malta, but were expected to leave on the 15th for a long cruise. The Manchester steamer, which conveyed the Prince of Portugal to Lisbon, had proceeded to Malta. TIIE FUNEK. Consols opened this morning at 911- 4 for the Account, and 91H- for Money.

Si nc e t h e n,.howeve r, m some 15 or 16 new cases had been cited. anti sever al statutc s had been referred, to, and the object o f this applic at ion was for leave to refer to these cases. Where new m atter was introduced by the plaintiff' in reply, the rule was to allow the defendant to observe. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Thes 6 cases only referred to a particular part, and not at all to the main part of the case. If this application were granted, it would introduce a new calif tom which would lead to great delay and inconvenience. the cases cited had chalked out an entirely new s ubject, un doubtedly the Court would listen to the application. but they were merely cited to fortify the view which the plaintiff's coun sel took of the case raised by the defendants. Mr. Sergeant Winnz understood that these cases had been cited to prove acquiescence on the part of the defendants. r The CHIEF JUSTICE-They were cited OH t he question 0. jurisdiction, which was raised by yourself.

Mr. Justice PAR—I know that t reat impatience was felt K on the part of the Court at the number of those cases. Mr. Sergeant W mns was quite satisfied with th e hssuranco of the Lord Chief justice, and would therefore waive his application. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY• The LORDS did not sit yesterday. In the COMMONS, after some Railway and other private Bills were advanced, a great many petitions were presented, aro°.ll,g which were three praying for the abolition of the Annu}tY Tax, and for release from the imprisonment which a refusalr recognise its justice had occasioned. The conversation cnl?! subject of this obnoxious tax will be read with interest. The Marquis of Chandos then brought forward hi; resolution ot the subject of agricultural relief, the object of which was _ 0 pledge the House to appropriate any surplus that may aris e °5 the revision of taxes or otherwise, for the exclusive advantageof the agricultural interest. Lord John Russell moved the Order of the Day, and advanced convincing reason s for resis ting the motion. It was supported by Mr. Cay'leY , C an arl I li; lington, and Col. Sibthorp.
