PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the Loans' last night, among other petitions, were two presented by Earl Radnor, frbm a town in Somerset, and from Wareham, praying for a redress of Dissenters' grievant-a, and for the establishment of the Voluntary Primple. A long debate arose nu a motion submitted by the Bishop of Exeter . .(but subsequently withdrawn), fry a Committee on the New System of Education in Ireland. The motion, it will lie seen, was levelled against the Commissioners, under whose sanction ;the Education of Ireland was conducted. Lord Melbourne justly observed that Education had found its bit terest*elieyriQs in the Irish Protestant Clergy, but that the " INlxik , issstem had met the approbation of all public men. It waPliitroduced by his Noble Friend (Lord Stanley)—a knoWn*gnd to the Established Church: It was sanctioned and sup ired by the late Gr.s.nernment, who prepared the estimate. flissed last year. The present Government ap proved of it ; and the system being so generally, sanctioned and supported, their Lordships would act unwisely if they interfered with its advancement by acceding to the present metir..n.” In the COMMONS the principal topic of discussion was the Stamp Acts. It will be seen that.the Chancellor of the Ex chequer adopted, with reference to Newspaper Stamps, pre cisely the course which we yesterday said he would pursue. In April the Right Hon. Gentleman will propose a reduction from 4d. on each paper (the amount of the present tax minus the discount) to ld. A postage in lieu of duty, he said, would he of unequal operation ; he therefore adhered to the penny duty. The same was to extend to Ireland. With regard to conveyances and bonds, the Right Hon. Gentleman proposed one uniform scale of one per cent., whatever might be the amount. For the correction of the present unequal scale, hearing so unjustly William Cobbett, poorer classes, we are p er h a p s in debted to the late Cobbett, who called the attention of the House to the existing iniquitous Stamp Acts. A re duction on the Stamp Duty of Bills of Exchange, with many other alterations, for which we refer to our report of the Right Hon. Gentleman's speech, was also announced. Previous- to the exposition by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer of his plan for consolidating the several Stamp Acts, Mr. Wakley, Dr. Bowring, Mr. D. W. Harvey, &c., pre sented petitions for the repeal of the Duty on Newspapers. The following subjects were briefly adverted to by various Hon. Members in the earlier part of the sitting, viz. :—lrish Poor Laws, New Houses of Parliament, the Emancipation of the Jews, Carlow Election, Unstamped Newspapers, South American States, Murder of Spanish Prisoners. There were afterwards a debate and a division, on Major Ilandley's mo tion for repealing the Excise duty on Soap. The majority against the motion of the Hon. Member for Lincolnshire was 70.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.--NOTTINGIUM, MARCH 14. CRIMINAL COURT.— Walter Soar , aged twenty-nine, was placed at the bar, charged with th e wilful murder of John .Webster, aged sixty-four. Mr. Amos conducted the prose cution ; and Mr. Hill, K. C., appeared for the prisoner. The Learned Judge having summed up the evidence, the jury found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter, and he was thereupon sentenced to ten months' imprisonment. Richard Smith, aged 45 years, was charged with having committed an aggravated assault upon Mary Green, a young girl, fourteen years of age, on the 24th of July last. The de tails of the transaction, as delivered in evidence by the girl and the medical gentleman, were of such a nature as to pre clude the possibility of their appearing in print ; but it ap peared that Smith had taken advantage of his wife's absence from home to instil into the drink provided for the girl's sup per some deleterious drug, which had the effect of lulling her into forgetfulness, when he subsequently committed the crime for which he was brought to justice. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Learned Judge passed the awful sentence of death upon him, holding out no hopes that the sentence wculd in the slightest degree be commuted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW. STREET. POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.--James Barnes, the late superin tendent of the Foreign Department of the General Post Office, who was charged last week with divers acts of theft and embezzlement in his department, was finally examined. Mr. Price and Mr. Hobler attended, as before, for the prisoner. Mr. Peacock appearing for the Post Office. The evidence taken on the former occasion was read over, and one other charge having been gone into precisely of the same kind as the foregoing, the prisoner, who said nothing, was fully com mitted upon six different charges to take his trial at the Cen tral Criminal Court. THAMES OFFICE. Yesterday Mr. .Henry Gardner, chief mate of the Jane Katherine, from the Havannah, was brought before Mr. Bal lantine and Mr. Clarkson for final examination, charged with the wilful murder of Alfred Charles Bevan, an apprentice on board the steam vessel, on the high seas, within the jurisdic tion of the Admiralty of England. The witnesses examined were James Connell, a young sea man, who was the principal evidence ; Edmund Francis, Jos. Urquhart, Edward Alexander Shepherd, and John Mackenzie, seamen on board the Jane Catherine. Mr. CLARKSON said it was his duty, on the evidence he had heard, to commit the prisoner for trial for the wilful murder of Alfred Charles Bevan on the high seas. The prisoner began crying excessively, on being removed from the bar. He is a tall, stout man, and about thirty-two years of age. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday forenoon, at eleven o'clock, a lengthened inquiry took place at the Sugar Loaf, King-street, Drury-lane, before Mr. STIRLING and a respectable Jury,- for the purpose of inves tigating the circumstances attending the death of - Ann Ryan; aged 27, which was alleged to have been 'occasioned by the violence of a man named Stephen Davis, with whom she lived, and who has absconded. The inquest was adjourned until Thursday, and, in the in• terval, the body of the deceased will be opened, that a tho• rough knowledge of the cause of death may be ascertained.

The country will receive with gratitude the measure proposed in the House of Commons last night by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, for the consoli dation of the Stamp Laws, including the reduction of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers. The Government proposes to reduce the tax upon Newspapers to Id. a reduction which cannot fail to give universal satisfac tion, provided the regular rate of drawback is allowed. As a financial measure, it is by far the most important that has yet engaged the attention of the Reformed Par liament. It did not require the able and lucid exposition of the Right Hon. Gentleman to satisfy the country that a change in the whole system was absolutely necessary ; but we believe that very few, even of the legal profes sion, were previously aware that the number of. Acts which required consolidation amounted to one hundred and fifty I For many of the most valuable provisions in the proposed Bill, the. country is indebted to the arduous labours of Mr. ORD, the Member for New port, and we cannot sufficiently praise the candour of the CHANCELLOR in making this admission in the hearing of Parliament. As was well observed by the -Right Hon. Gentleman, " persons in his situation are apt to receive all the credit due to their subalterns ;" but it rarely happens that we find them endowed with greatness of mind sufficient to acknowledge publicly; and in the way' which he has done, the extent of their obligations to thOse persons. Were such acknowledgments general many Members of Parliament, now looked up- to as prodigies of intelli gence, would dwindle down to mere mouth-pieces of the opinions of others ; and the nation would learn with astonishment that men undistinguished and unknown, were the real authors of measures, by the help of which, their more fortunate fellow-subjects were enabled to climb to the first dignities in the State. There arc certain acts of justice for the performance of whiPch public men are entitled to the Highest praise, and that of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER,with respect to the Bill for the consolidation of the Stamp laws, is among the most prominent. We trust that his ex ample will influence the future conduct of other leaders of the House of Commons, including the chief Mem bers of the Opposition. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER informed the House that the Bill which he was about to bring forward contained no fewer than three hun dred and thirty clauses—an immense number, but yet one hundred and twenty-six clauses less than the number contained in Mr. G.OtHeBuRN.%%_. Bill for the same purpose. It is difficult to .c conterr- Plate so many clauses in one Act, without presuming great complexity in the details; but until the Bill is regularly before the public we cannot etre a decided opinion upon this point. As a matter of opinion, we have doubts of the expediency of including the News paper Stamp Laws in an Act for the regulation of the Stamp Duty upon Probates of Wills, Bills of Ex change, Apprentice's Indentures, Leases, and Bonds of Administration., We really think that one Act ought to be passed for the regulation of Newspapers only ; and which might be made to contain a few explicit clauses, fixing and defining the laws of lib e l, and copyright. T o l oo k at this question merely in a financial point of view, is to examine but a speck of it ; although we are prepared to admit that there may be good grounds for not proposing it in any other, in the present temper of the House of Peers. The first measure of reform to which the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER -referred in his speech, as forming a portion of the proposed Bill, was in the case of Conveyances. He explained to the House, that by the law as it now stands, the greatest injury is in flicted upon the poor, while the immensely rich escape without incurring more than a nominal tax. The Stamp Duty under this head is regulated by a graduated scale, and, after the good old fashion of our ancestors, taxation decreases in proportion as individuals are able to bear it. Thus, for example, sums not exceeding 20/. are taxed at the rate of five per cent, while upon sums five times as large only half the per centage is charged. But the most glaring injustice is to be found in the fact, that Bonds of conveyance can only be taxed to the amount of 2,0001., so that under this iniquitous system the whole of the duty is levied. upon the respect able middle classes. To remedy this monstrous anomaly,- the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER pro poses the substitution of a tax of one per cent in all cases, which would have the effect of doing justice to every class without injury to the revenue. This is a most equitable proposal ; and should it be objected to, we recommend some Member to bring the ref rac t ory Aristocrats to their senses•by moving the reversion of the old system, carrying on the- graduated scale 'of ascending duties to the full amount of all Conveyances. For instance, let the rate of duty on 20/. be 1 per cent., and that on 40,000/, be at the rate of 6 or 8 per cent,, and Fd iiri Lillis Vhitirig the inirden upon the shoulders best able to bear it. A motion of this kind would do much in the way of putting a stop to the underhand plotting of certain Mtmbers of the Upper House. The next measure referred to has reference to the system of superseding the necessity of endorsing Bills of Exchange by means of letters of credit, which be pronounced a direct evasion of the law. As this is a question of great publi.; interest, we will quote the words of the Right Hon. Gentleman : " Of late years there had existed a practice which, however reluctantly, he could not but characterize as an evasion of the duty upon bills. A custom had arisen of drawing, in place of bills, letters of credit, which were passed from hand to hand, and sometimes even negotiated by endorsement, though others, more prudent, refused to endorce such documents. The letters of credit, even quite unendorsei, had been often made to suppili the place of bills. Unquestionably this practice was an evasion of the law, but he believed that one cause of it was the high rate of duty charged on bill stamps. Hon. Gentlemen would observe that these letters of credit could never be employed for the purposes of bills of a longer date, or of greater amount. They could not be used to any great extent as a means of postpening payment of a sum, or of obtaining an advance of capital; but these abuses existed in cases of bills drawn at . very long dates. It was his intention now to introduce a scale of bills drawn at a pe riod not exceeding seven days from the date, calculated not to admit postponement of payment, nor to allow the raising of money upon them. On this class of bills he meant to pro pose a very slight duty—scarcely more than a nominal 'rate. In point of fact, the convenience of a bill of exchange payable to order, valid in point of law, would be of the greatest possi ble advantage to the commercial interests and the public gene rally, and would be used largely as a substitute for the present system of letters of credit. He had had much intercourse with parties who were well acquainted with that system, and their opinion was that his proposition would give great facility in mercantile transactions." _ _ With respect to the duty upon Apprentices' Inden tures, the new Bill proposes a reduction.of one-half. This will be of iipmense benefit to the working classes, particularly in the manufacturing districts. The reduction proposed upon the duty now charge able on Leases is equally well-timed and appropriate. As the law now stands, the tax upon a lease where the rent does not exceed 201. is 20s. This tax is to be reduced to 2s. 6d., or one-eighth, and so on in pro portion. It also proposes a reduction of three-fourths of the duty now charged upon Administration Bonds, without allowing them to be subject to those draw backs which ordinarily find their way into the pockets of notaries, solicitors, and other professional advisers. This is an Improvement in the law which has fre quently been recommended by thelate Lord Chancellor BROUGHAM, and•it affords us pleasure to see it em bodied in the present Bill. The last measure touched upon in the CHANCELLOR of the Ex CHEQUER'S speech, is one . upon which we shall give no opinion before we have seen the Bill. It refers to the imposition of a tax upon the first shares issued in all new speculations, with a view to prevent a system of gambling on the part of sham or insolvent companies. With the great principle of the proposed Bill, as explained by the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, every Reformer in the United Kingdom muse be well satisfied. Ireland has certainly no reason to coin plain ; for although the Bill proposes the equaliza tion of the Newspaper Duty, it enacts that in all the other items of Stamp taxation she is only to pay at the rate of half as much as England and Scotland. By the equalization of the Newspaper Stamp-duty, English papers will circulate in every part of Ireland— and this, in a short time, will be productive of the best consequences ; for it is to her close intercourse with this country, that Ireland must look for the in creasing civilization of her people. All that we now ask is, that the Bill be brought forward with as little delay as possible. A long discussion took place' last night in the House of Lords, on the subject of the Irish Education system—a system of which we always thought highly, but never so highly as now, when we find it honoured by the marked reprobation of the Bishop of EXETER. Every one knows its object, which is to provide educa tion for the lower classes of Irish, without distinction of creeds or parties ; and every one knows also—or should know, for the facts are notorious—that, as far as it has yet proceeded, the experiment has been most successful. Harmony has been produced in places where before there was only discord ; the Catholic has been taught to look on the Protestant with the eye of good fellowship ; and at this very period, upwards of one hundred and eighty thousand individuals, who but a few years ago had not the slightest chance of ever being able to obtain it, are " receiving a sound and wholesome education." Yet • this is the system to which the Bishop of EXETER, under the specious pretence of merely moving for an inquiry, objected to last night, in the bitterest spirit possible I Not a single sound argument had lie to urge against it ; he could not gainsay the fact, that at the present period, Ireland is more tranquil, more or derly, more contented—aye, and more prosperous, too —than she has been for years ; neither could he deny that the Education System has been greatly instru mental in bringing about this desirable consummation ; —none of these things could the Right Rev. Prelate deny, so contented himself instead with bringing for ward a variety of frivolous, irrelevant details, by way of justifying his hostility to the measure. In the course of his speech, which was characterized throughout by the true odium theologicuin, this meek apottle thought fit to denounce one Catholic Bishop as " an arch agi tator," and another, as one who was not to be believed on his oath. And yet the man who holds this lan guage professes to take as his guide and rule of con duct, the divine motto, "good will and charity towards men." Who is the real agitator here? Is .it the peaceable C a th o li c Bi s h o p who is denounced, or the fiery one who denounces him ? The Churchman who does his utmost to further the cause of national edu cation in Ireland, or the Churchman who puts forth every energy he possesses, to oppose it ? None knows better than Dr. PIIILLPOTTS that if his motion for enquiry were carried, " it would tend"—to use the ap propriate language of Lord MELBOURNE--" to dis turb a system which was happily in progress in Ire land ,I. and to prpduce heats, ,c9nteritions, ,and animo iii,Ws7 thronghout the-country',- which . had-been for:- tunately, set at rest by . a system that - had been acted upon by late Governments, for .the last five t , , . years" ;-none, e ;—none, w say, iinows better. than. the.-:Bishop of EXETER that . such would be the inevitable result of his proposal for inquiry ;. yet what does he care for this, so long as he can serve the purposes of party, by throwi:g obstacles in the way of Govern ment ; and thwarting the progress of one of the most beneficent, enlightened, and comprehensive measures, ever projected by an English Ministry ? All that the Irish system of education requires in order to render it perfectly successful, is fair play ; but this fair play the Right Rev. Prelate, and the party with whom he shall and n t o i i t e r l e i f a o v r e e s the l y t is w i a l i t v h a a r l i: e with mthreeisrolve interests,dit acts,siie none of it. It tends to the enlightenment of the Irish mind, and therefore it must be talked down at all hazards. Diffuse education throughout Ireland, and you do more to destroy Toryism in that country, than a dozen O ' CONNELL& could do in as many years. Hence the opposition of the Tories. Hence, too, the sophistries of their chief-spokesman, the Bishop of EXETER. As for religion, that has no more to do with the Conservative hostility to the education measure, than it has with the Corporation question. The Tories regard it simply as a party matter, and as such, oppose it with all that. desperate rancour in which Toryism is so notorious a proficient. But as it would not be discreet to avow motives like these, the Rev. Prelate contented himself with objecting to the measure—that it was one calculated only to give the ascendancy to Catholicism in Ireland. Now if this be the case, which we strenuously deny, who is more to blame for it than the Bishop hiinself, who by conceding Catholic Emancipation— a f ter 'h av i ng spent hisest days in writing against it—helped thereby to intro duce into the House of Commons some fifty or sixty Catholic supporters of the Education Sys tem ? Had Emancipation never been granted, this measure would never have been brought forward ; if, therefore, it possess the injurious qualities which the Rev. Prelate attributes to it, he himself is in fault. But it has no such qualities. It is a wise and en, lightened experiment, which has already been attended —as' Lord PLUNKETT StitiSfaCtOrliy showed—with tho happiest results : and will in a few years destroy all those prejudices and heart-burnings which have so long distracted Ireland. It will be seen by our Parliamentary itepott, that Mr. HANDLEY'S motion for the reduction of the Duty on Soap was negatived by a large majority. We ?re not at all surprised at this ; nor do we think it is treating the Government with common fair ness, to press sO many motions • for the reduction of. different taxes upon the' House of Commons, when it is clear to the country that Ministers are making reductions as fast as the state of the revenue affords the prospect of a shilling of.surplus. Neither do we think that the taxes proposed for reduction are Well selected, but rather such as presS most heavily upon the constituents of each Member. This is not representing the interests of an empire, but of a hamlet. We have received a file of the Jamaica Dispatch to the 7th February inclusive. Wc extract the follow ing from these papers : WEDNESDAY, FEB. 6. The House met to-day, and his Excellency delivered the following speech we give an abstract : " The very extraordinary nature of the message I have re ceived from the House of Assembly compels me to point out to the Legislature of Jamaica the position in which the conduct of one of the branches has placed the Colony ; to that branch therefore must I more particularly address myself, while I re view its proceedings during the present session—while I point out what disposition it has evinced to meet the wishes of the mother country. " Two messages I have recently sent down on the subject of the Police Bill, and the Act in aid, have placed my views of the manner in which these two measures have been treated in the Assembly, in too clear a light to require more than a very few remarks. " I pressed on you the establishment of more Courts of Assizes, so strongly recommended by the presentment of the Grand Jury. You took no notice of it. A revision of the lawl affecting the discipline of gaols and other places of con finement was recommended to - you. All these subjects have remained unnoticed. The whipping of females, you were informed by me, officially, was in prac tice ; and I called upon you to make enactments to put a❑ end to conduct so repugnant to humanity, and so contrary to law. So far from passing an act to prevent the recurrence of such cruelty, yon have in no way expressed your disapprobation of it: I communicated to you my opinion, and that of the Secretary of State, of the justice of cutting off the hair of females in the House of Correction previous to trial ; you havo.paid no attention to the subject. " I informed the House that in the question of the British Government, the taxation imposed by the local authorities on the property of apprentices was quite illegal ; you totally dis regarded this suggestion. " I sent you down no less than font messages on the subject of an extended system of education; as no measure on the subject has emanated from the House, can I do otherwise than conclude that you are indifferent to it ? I informed you that 25,0001. sterling had been voted by England for the support of education in the Colonies with still further assistance being af forded, and you have taken no steps to make it available. I transmitted to you dispatches from the Secretary of State, recommending the repeal of the 33d Canon, with a view to in crease religious instruction in the colony. You have not at tended to the recommendation. I recommended the introduc tion of an Emigration Bill ; I pointed out to you the injury done to the poorer classes of the claimants for compensation, by the schemes of interested persons I communicated to you the circumstances, owing to your own decision, relating to the Police Bill—you nave taken no notice of it. " Besides these measures, in which no enactments have be- come law, there are many measures of much importance to the country, which are either before you for amendment, or laying on the table of the Council for their consideration. " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, " I thank you for those supplies which you have granted for the service of the colony, and have to regret that your resolu tion to do no more business, should leave the public creditor in danger of not receiving his just right." . - - We have been assured that, after the Message from the House yesterday, there was a Privy Council held on that gub. ject, when there was a tic at the Honourable Board ; and the course adopted was carried only by the casting vote of the Go vernor. Sir Amos Norcott is said to have dissented from the opinion of the Governor. It was currently reported in Spanish Town, that the Governor would quit our shores before the Bth of March. God send that it may be so, as we know of no measure which would so speedily restore order to this distracted colony."—Jamaica Gazette, Feb. 6. " We regret to announce that Mr. Frater has been com pelled, through the interference of his Excellency the Go vernor, to resign his commission as Major-General of the Cornwall district. During the holydays, Mr. Frater found it necessary to place a guard over the powder magazine, which, besides being in a dangerous situation, was considered inse cure. On the Governor becoming acquainted that a sentry had been placed there, he directed his Secretary to write to the Colonel of the regirrient, to ascertain why he had done so ? The answer was, that it was by the order of the Major-Gene ral. His Excellency, instead of being satisfied with the re ply, wrote an order that in future the Major-General would not be at liberty to mount guard, without first obtaining his sanction ; in consequence of which, Mr. Frater begged leave to resign his command." IMPORTANIF. The Jamaica Dispatch of the 6th February' says :—" We solicit the attention of our readers to a careful perusal of the whole proceedings of our Assembly during this week, from which they will learn by what a succession of weak and ill advised measures his Excellency has driven the Assembly to a defence of their privileges, and which, by rendering the breach betwech them irreparable, ended in a prorogation to the Bth March—thus leaving the whole business of the colony in the same state, reckless of all consequences. For our part, we cannot see how his Excellency can ever again meet the House." " HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, FRIDAY, FEB. 5. " FURTHER PROROGATION OF THE ASSEMBLY. " Shortly after the House met, Mr. Secretary Nunes brought down the following Message from his Excellency tho Governor :___. MR. SPEAKER "• I am commanded by his Excellency the Governor to in form you, in reply to your Message of yesterday, that although he is aware how unusual it is to consider in one Session any matter which has taken place in a previous one, when no allu sion has been made to it in the opening of Session, he will still, in his anxiety to promote the public convenience, to which he has at this recent juncture shown so much attention, communicate to the House again what he before, as he thought, had fully explained in his proroguing speech— his conviction that he had committed no breach of its privileges. „.Such a declaration must, to calm and dis passionate 'binds, show what was his real intention ; but where his abject could not be private—where it must be exclusively to the advantage of the Island—and the conve nience of the public—he regrets to find that his acts were met by anything but a corresponding feeling. Reparation he cannot consider to be called for, where no offence was con templated ; nor, as he has distinctly stated before, committed by him. He encroaches in no manner on their privilege—he did not interfere with a,ny business before the House. He merely, in studiously respectful language, intreated their at tention to what be considered a most decided benefit to the p colony, whose interests they a r c charged with. He, there fore, trusts that they will not sacrifice those interests to what he cannot but consider a most constrained construction of an act, originating in the most friendly feelings towards the Colony.' " " A long debate ensued. The Speaker at the request of several Mpnbera 'rose, and in a luminous and-eloquent speech; pointed oat the only -course which the House could pursue ; and-in taking a review of the several proceediDgs, connected with the breach of privilege, - showed that the .Governor had rendered a reconciliation impossible, unless Ile now made the most ample reparation. Ultimately - the House came to the following resolution : " That his Excellency's Message, reiterating that he had committed no breach of the privileges of the House, is not satisfactory ; and therefore the House cannot, consistently with its own dignity, or with advantage to their constituents, pro ceed any further in the public business—they adhere to their original resolution.' The House is therefore prorogued to the Bth March next; by which time we hope his Excellency will be comfortably settled in Sligo."—Jamaica Dispatch. Leiters have been received from the British Auxi liary Legion, dated the Bth March. On that day the main body of the Legion was four miles beyond Tre vino. The men were, for the most part, recovered from their recent illness ; and very few patients were in the hospital. We understand that Mr. Dominick Brown, M.P. for Mayo, is about to be raised to the Irish Peerage, in which there being three titles extinct, there is at present a power under the Act of Union to create a new Irish Peerage. Sir Roger Greisley, Bart., retires from the. repre sentation of South Derbyshire at the next general election, and it is intended to place Francis Hurt, Esq., of Alderwasley, in no mination.--ihrminghant Gazette. INTERESTING FOUNDLING. —In the Liverpool workhouse there is a very interesting and beautiful female child, now conjectured to be between two and three years of age. She was found exposed on some steps in Ranelagh street in May last, when she was supposed to be about eighteen months old. She was dressed in an old lilac printed frock, a pink cotton bonnet, and a fine linen chemise, marked A. The only words she could articute plainly were "papa" and " mamma." Every inquiry was made, but in vain, to discover her unnatural parents. She is of fair C omplexion, stout, with a fineness of her blue eyes, and fine curling hair. From tit the words she linen, the mode in which it was marked, ' am: uttered, which are rarely used by the children of : he h um bl er d :c or working classes in this part of the country, it is a Plpr that she had been stolen, used for the purpose ofb t egg,: ": ' robbed of her better clothes, and exposed in th.e m anner de scribed. As several instances have occurred inLondon and other places of children being stolen, we give this publidity to the facts in the hope that it may lead to some discovery • a d to make the circumstance as extensively known as possible, shall feel obliged if our Contemporaries would copy the para. graph.—LiFervooi Paper. DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.) • The Committee met at the usual hour, when 44 votes, in pursuance of an agreement entered into between the agents on both sides, were struck off. The Committee then went into individual votes not coming under any of the previous de cisions. Of this class there were 12 struck off when our re porter left. Berlin NEWSPAPER STAMP QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slit,—The chancellor of the Exchequer having stated that his intention is to propose a reduction of the Newspaper Stamp Duty to one penny, but without the allowance of discount, I trust that the Excise duty on paper will be equalized, and reduced to three half-pence per pound. I think, that by this arrangement, •and the increased circulation of Newspapers, which would necessarily follow the •reduction of the Stamp Duty, Newspapers might be sold at the price of four -pence. The reduction of tha Stamp Duty from its present amount to one penny, even without any discount, will certainly be a great boon to the community at large ; but, I am still inclined to think, that if the whole duty had been discontinued, and penny stamps affixed to suck papers as should be sent to and from the country, would have been decidedly preferable. A precedent for this plan is, in part, afforded by the Literary Gazette, of which a certain number of copies are stamped for transmission by post. 'Should such a scheme have been adopted, the public would have willingly consented to the postponement of a reduction of the Paper Duties till next Session. It may not be too late, even now, to give publicity to this suggestion; therefore,-if you should agree with me as to the expediency of its adoption, I shall be much obliged by a notice, or an immediate insertion of this letter, in your truly inde pendent journal. I am, Sir, your faithful servant, . Russell Institution, A LIBERAL. March 16, Half-past 1 o'Clock. [We arc decidedly of opinion that the Literary Gazette plan of penny stamp covers for Newspapers would never answer. It would subject the Post-Office to the necessity of opening all the papers without such covers, to ascertain if any smugglers were posted. A fair field and no favour, is the best plan for all.—En. SUN.] IRELAND. KILDARE REPRESENTATION.—Mr. Purcell is a candidate. He is advantageously known for his opposition to tithe, and every other form of oppression by which Ireland has' been, till lately, tortured. At the Sligo Assizes recently terminated, five men were found guilty of Ribbonism, and sentenced to six months' im prisonment and bard labour. O'SCLLIvAN.—It is a coincidence worth remarking, that at the very time this reverend incendiary was in London penning his letter to Lord Howick, some of his parishioners were stand ing their trial at the Tyrone Assizes, for wrecking the houses of the Catholics, and found guilty by a jury on which there was not one single Catholic. DUBLIN TRADES' POLITICAL UNION.—A special meeting was held at the Corn Exchange on Sunday, to make arrange ments for taking active measures to secure the independence of this city, at the present juncture. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—On the 6th of March, an inquest was held at Glanworth, before Richard Jones, Esq., one of the Coroners of this county, upon the body of Frede rick Nassau Massey, Esq., late of Griston, in the county of. Limerick, under the following circumstances:—This gentle man died about the 11th or 12th of last February, and was buried in the churchyard of Glanworth on Saturday the 13th February, in the dead hour of the night. His body was brought there in a shell, on a common car, attended only by his son, and three other persons of inferior rank. One or two labourers were called up at Glanworth, to assist in the inter ment. No clergyman of any persuasion attended his remains to the grave. He was interred in the family vault of a Mr. Sherlock. His death was kept a profound secret, and it has even been told that a beggerman was placed in his bed to re present him, and when any of his friends came to make in quiries for him, they were answered by inarticulate sounds, as if personating the deceased. However, Mr. George Gubbins had an insurance upon his life, and the annual premium upon this became due on the Ist of March. Mr. Gubbins heard a report of his death, and made every effort to ascertain the fact. He sent a man who was well acquainted with Mr. Massey, to open the vault. He did so, and there identified him. Mr. Gubbins was then advised that an inquest should be held on the body. It is supposed that this effort to conceal his death arose from the circumstance of some considerable tithe property having depended upon his life. Mr. Jones, the coroner, was opposed in the discharge of his duty, and was compelled to call out the police to assist him. GERMAN PAPERS. VIENNA, FEB. 28.—The Coronation of the Emperor at Prague will take place in September. The first Poles, from Cracow, will shortly arrive in our circle ; they will be quartered in the environs of Vienna, but none of them will enter the city. Every preparation is made to convey them without delay to Trieste, where they will be embarked for North America. According to some journals, the Emperor Nicholas has sent insignia of orders of Knight. hood to the four Members of the Municipality at Warsaw, to whom he addressed the celebrated speech last autumn. Among these Members are the Messrs. Osinski and Lasinski. The Emperor • ordered them to be told that he desired to prove, by conferring this distinction on them, that his speech was not intended to hurt their feelings personally, but to make his will known to the Poles and to all Europe.
