From the highest order of our long-descended and opulent nobility, to the humblest, and poorest, and the hardest-working sections of our working population, they have equally recruited the ranks of their adhe rents. In every portion of the empire they have pushed their cause with the same indomitable activity and spirit—with the same average success. The popularity and influence of the League are in creased and consolidated, in place of being exhausted or endangered by these constant appeals to public opinion.

The following outline of the arrangements for the ensuing season is respectfully presented to the Nobility, Subscribers, and the Public. " Age cannot wither it, Nor custom sate its infinite variety." And, in truth, the merits of that cause are of a magnitude and character, intrinsically, which out weigh all the splendour of the brilliant success that has hitherto attended its advocacy, and are a more eloquent testimony to the merits of its champions than twenty such demonstrations as that, even, of last night. For what is the constitu tional fight in which the League have en gaged ? It is a struggle on their part for the abolition of a grinding monopoly, vested by an improvident and iniquitous Legislature in one " class" of the nation. On the part of that class it is a des perate struggle to retain what they fondly imagine a privilege, which it must, now and permanently, be for their signal benefit to retain. The poor feel that ' from this contest one of two alternatives must inevita bly result to them. The success of the League will secure for their working hands, and for their half starved children, an abundant and cheap supply of the first necessary of life at all times, and under any of those often recurring fluctuations of trade and de rangements of the currency to which they have been made the first and most certain victims. The failure of the League must hand them over to the tender mercies of that Legislature, which, after cheering them on through all the sufferings and burdens of a wasting war of twelve years (reckoning from the peace of Amiens) by their repeated pledges to relieve them from their unnatural load of taxation on the return of peace, profaned that auspicious event by taxing more heavily than ever, from that moment, the millions of bread consumers, for the palpable, sordid, disgraceful, and fraudulent purpose of en hancing the rentals of themselves and some few thousands of other bread growers. The in dustrious but ill remunerated mechanic and journey man—the struggling tradesman—the reduced or in digent pensioner —they who struggle " to maintain appearances," or the class with which they are un fortunately connected by family or other relations, in the hopeless effort to obtain an adequate measure of monopoly-taxed subsistence out of their currency taxed pittances of income—these look forward with intense solicitude to a consummation which may enable them, at last, to participate in the bounties of natural production from the enjoyment which the iron hand of the monopolist has for nine-and -twenty years rudely thrust them forth to pine in sickness or perish in despair. The pro-corn-law landlords— neither satisfied with the excessive rentals they have long derived in virtue of the excessive prices which the working of that law has obtained for the produce of their acres, nor content to contribute their volun tary sacrifice to the mass of those compulsory ones which the circumstances of the times and the " de mands of Parliament" have so largely exacted from every other class of the people—are mad enough to protract that which would, even now, be accepted as a concession by those who will, ere long, indignantly extort it as a just, but contumaciously withheld, debt to the nation at large. The:final triumph of the League is certain. The ultimate consequences of such impracticability in their opponents no man can venture to predict. ENGAGEMENTS FOR THE OPERA. Madame Grisi, Madlle. M.

That insurrectionary movements and revolts, which have so incessantly agitated the Southern States of Europe within the last ten or twelve years, should still, even after that lapse of time, have lost so little of their activity as, at this moment, to convulse both Spain and Portugal, is rather a moral necessity than any political phenomenon. It is the result—more to he deplored than marvelled at—of a reaction, excited by a recent experience of free institutions, which is still warring against the Governments and prejudices of many past centuries—against the moral and social habits, the tone of thought, and the bent of feeling engendered by them. We must not too nar rowly scan the political errors of parties whom we assume to be in earnest in their efforts to consolidate their newly-achieved liberties, if they become somewhat reckless in the pursuit of so favourite an object ; or if, distracted by the various courses of action which present them selves for their adoption, they dally with the means till they lose the end. Considerations of this kind especially apply to the position of Portugal, as contradistinguished from that of Spain, at the present day. In Spain, all the elements of feverish excitement appear to have recombined of late, for the sole purpose of working out, in a war of partisans, and amidst the public ruin which has been thereby entailed upon the country, a 'fierce and grinding military despotism. In Portugal, not withstanding the strife of parties, and the interruptions of unprincipled intrigue, the advance of the people has been more gradual, but more steady, and further, in the direction of ultimate freedom. Yet it cannot be denied that the existing Government of her Most Faithful MAJESTY has not abstained from serious violations of what may be considered the fundamental constitution of the kingdom, namely, that of 1829, and her Most Faithful MAJESTY'S decree of February 1842. It is as little to be- doubted that during the last two years instances have occurred in which her MAJESTY'S Ministers must be held to have exercised an undue constraint and control over the spontaneous acts of their Royal Mistress. This species of virtual coercion, on the part of COSTA CAnRAL and others, and the delinquencies and de THE WEATIIER.---SuN OFFICE, FEB. 29. THER3IOMETER, Lowest, 32 ; Highest, 45 2 - Noon, 45.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE TINS DAY. Morning .• 49 minutes after 9 I Evening 33 minutes after 10. ficiences of their administration of foreign and do mestic affairs, appear to have induced the recent hostile movement of Count BOMFIM, ex-Minister of War. His proclamation, addressed " to Portuguese citizens and soldiers," breathes the same fervent and devoted loyalty towards the person and authority of the Queen of PORTUGAL as he unquestionably manifested throughout the whole of his career, after the death of the Regent JoAo VI. to her Most Faithful MA- JESTY'S Illustrious:father, Dom PEDRO IV., the Duke of BRAGANZA. The Count declares that his move ment is against the present Ministry of the QUEEN, who, in consequence of the violent restraint in which they hold their Royal Mistress, "prevent her from fulfilling her gracious promises on promulgating the decree referred to, and from attending to the desires and petitions of her people." The Count's proclamation thus designates the pre sent Minister of Portugal:"— " This Ministry, guided by a man who has no creed, and has no love of country, who looks to nothing but his own in terest, and who is blinded by the unbounded ambition which rules him, ready to alter his system or political opinions ac cording to the profit which may result to him, always ready to sacrifice those with whom lie may have been most inti mately connected, and even to pronounce as enemies of the State, those who will not lend themselves to become tools of his caprices, or who do not aid in his brutal despotism. This Ministry has placed us on the frightful abyss which threatens to engulf us.' Ti - ie proclamation, after eulogizing the unalterable loyalty of the people and the army to the Sovereign, describes the grievances under which they labour, " which have caused the disappearance of 'public rights, and of individual security, and the overbur dening of the people with taxes." The wrongs of the army are largely detailed and insisted on. The Count then appeals, by all the stirring recol lections and great names of Portuguese history, to his fellow-citizens and soldiers to unite with him in " saving their country, the QUEEN, and their liberty I' s The time, he says, has now arrived for so noble an attempt. It seems evident, both from the language of many of these passages, and from that of a very remarkable farewell address to its readers in the Revolus c ao of the Bth instant, that some transactions have taken place in the communications between the Crown and its Ministers, of which we have not yet learned the par ticulars. In the course of the editor's address, he de clares that on the morrow the whole liberties of Por tugal will have been trampled under foot and extin guished by the Ministry of the QUEEN, " who is ac customed," he remarks, "to be coerced." " To morrow there will not be even these formalities — neither tribunal, nor Parliament ....no property, no liberty, no press !" As we observed in a former article, the well-known loyalty, merits, and services of Count BoMFlM—his past favour with the QUEEN and her Royal Consort— his intrepidity and success in the field, and his ad mirable administration in the Cabinet both as Foreign and as War Minister, leave the whole affair at pre sent under a painful mystery, which is not dimi nished by the brief announcement we have received of the Count's arrest at Elvas. Since the above article was written we have later news from Portugal, which effectually discredit the account of Count BOMFIM'S arrest, but gives us no further intelligence of the movements of that officer.

He had declared " that he would put him self en route as soon as possible, in order to present himself at the capital." He adds, that he had been at the residence of his friend the Count D'AvuEz, where he received the orders of the Minister of War, and that when his state of health permitted he would not fail to earry his purpose into effect. On the I9th, the intelligence reached Lisbon that Bosinac had placed himself at the head of the insur gents, and that Count D'Avu.Ez, a general officer, had also joined them; but the latter part of the intelli gence, with respect to Avuzz, has been subsequently contradicted. A proclamation of the Count, on his joining the insurgents, was issued on the 14th inst., from which the following are extracts " Inhabitants of Lisbon, and soldiers of the garrison !—I have taken command of a division, which, in a short time, will present itself before the capital, firmly resolved to make a reality of the sacred promise which was given to us on the 10th of February, 1842. " Portuguese ! the brave men who accompany me are your friends, your companions in arms. All of them respect and desire the Constitutional Charter of 1826, but all of them have been betrayed as you have been : to all a promise was made and has been broken. " The Constitutional Charter does not exist ; Costa Cabral is the only Power of the State. " To arms, brave companions of glory ! "The Constitutional Charter 1 And the Queen free from restraint ! The faithful execution of the sacred promise of the 10th of November, 1842. " COUNT BOMFIM. " Head-quarters, in Alcaia, Feb. 14, 1844." The intelligence from Madrid, which is to the 21st instant, is of the same painful character. According to a dispatch from General RONCALI, he opened his fire against Alicant on the 17th, at one o'clock in the morning, and had thrown a great number of shells into the town. The insurgents made a sortie, but were driven back. The horrible butcheries on both sides continued unabated, and scenes of a still more horrid description are anticipated on the fall of Alicant, which cannot hold out long. According to one report, RONCALI had already shot one in every five of his prisoners, who amounted to more than two hundred and all the insurgents, taken in two Custom-house sloops, were ordered to be shot on deck. The Gazette publishes a decree, re-establishing the Papal tribunal of the Rota, suppressed by a decree of the Provisional Regency of the 29th of Decem ber, 1840. The Three per Cents. were done at 29i for cash and 30f at sixty days ; and the Five per Cents. al 21f for cash, and 22} at sixty days. 'We are agreeably disappointed in the articles which appear in the French Opposition Journals of Tuesday, on the announcement respecting Otaheite, given in the Moniteur of the previous day. From the strong attacks which they have for ten days been aiming at M. GUIZOT, and the friends of peace in France, a terrible explosion might have been ex pected, but fortunately we have only a subdued mur mur, a sort of lamentation, that the dignity of France had not been better maintained ; and that the KING in Council had not, on the receipt of the in ' telligence, proclaimed their intention, without waiting for the opinions of Lord ABERDEEN and Sir ROBERT PEEL. One of the most violent of the journals belonging to this class, the National, calmly observes :—" The:proceeding of the Government was foreseen. When we read in the English journals and in the report of the sittings of Parliament, what interest England took in driving us from Otaheite, we could easily foresee that Otaheite would be given up. But M. GUIZOT, Who is aware of the jealous avidity of our neighbours, and who also knows how incapable he is of keeping up any dignity with them, ought not to have waited for their demands, but to have re-established Queen POMARE before an order came from London. But no ; he waited a fortnight, in order that the humilia tion might be complete—in order that it might be clearly proved in the face of the world—that his Cabinet is the very humble servant of Sir ROBERT PEEL and Lord ABERDEEN." M. TRIERS' journal takes nearly the same view. " When," it says, " the English journals and the Houses of Parliament call our Government to account for the resolute act of Admiral DUPETIT TIIOUARS, an act of weakness was naturally expected from our Cabinet. We, for our part, fully looked for this, and said that we did so. But since it resigned itself to making this new concession to the entente cordiale, how can it have so far failed in management as not to preserve appear ances ? As soon as the Ministry was in possession of the Admiral's dispatches, it certainly must have com prehended that the news would be badly received in London, and that strong remonstrances would be made. Why did it not therefore at the first moment gather courage from its weakness ? Why, resigned as it was to the granting of everything that could be asked, did it not take the initiative, and act with re solution before any demand was made upon it ? It is possible, and we hope, for the honour of the coun try, it has been so, that there was a division in the Council, and that some of its members have placed a higher value on the feelings of the nation than on the notes of Lord ABERDEEN. We willingly believe that the Minister of Marine has not abandoned with out defence to the timorous rancour of M. GUIZOT the work of a brave and loyal sailor, who in distant seas has upheld the dignity of our flag. But these oppositions, honourable as they unquestionably have been, have only made The matter worse." The France is very brief, but poetically eloquent. It could not have described in a more heroic strain the destruction of all the islands in the Pacific : " The new and deplorable concession to England, in the disavowal of Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, has outraged public opinion. The Chamber of Deputies thrilled with agitation ; the Stock Exchange itself experienced its effects, and the Funds felt the recoil of this act of shame." The Journal des Debats has no article on the sub ject; but another Ministerial paper, the Globe, con cludes a long argument with the following judicious remarks :—" Speaking seriously, what difference is there at bottom, between protecting and occupying. As to what relates to the use which the Opposition journals will make of the humiliation of France to England, it is a piece of silliness, which men of sense no longer think of. It is scarcely three months since the English Government disavowed Commodore PAULET when he took possession of the Sandwich Islands. Great nations are like men of tried honour— they can acknowledge their errors without being afraid of an accusation of weakness." The documents moved for in the Chamber, on Mon. day, amount to nine, and extend over a period from September, 1842, to November, 9, 1843. One of these is the Report of Admiral DUPETIT THou.sats, to which are attached two letters from Admiral THOUARS to Queen PODIARE and the Great Chiefs, dated re spectively the Ist and 3d of November, 1843 ; and another a letter from Queen POMARE to LOUIS PHILIPPE, King of the French, also of the same date. The debate on this is looked forward to with much interest. Some surprise has been excited at Paris by the departure of the KING, at this season, to the Chateau d'Eu, and various causes are assigned. Queen CHRISTINA arrived at Nimes'on the morning of the 23d inst. The steam-boat in which her MA JESTY passed along the Rhone being overtaken by the night, she was obliged to land on the Ile de la Bar thelasse, which she crossed by torchlight. The Pre fect of Vaucluse offered her MAUS= his carriage, in which she arrived safely at Nimes. The QUEEN went the same day to Montpellier, whence she was to pro ceed direct to Narbonne, in which town she proposed to rest on Sunday last, and on Monday to cross the Spanish frontier.

This arises chiefly from diseases of the lungs. The average is 330, while last week the number was 428. The deaths from bronchitis were 63, average 19 ; from pneumonia 111, average 91 ; consumption 165, average 146 ; diseases of the heart 41, average 21; dropsy 32, average 9. There is a considerable decrease in violent deaths, the ave rage being 25, while last week the number was only 15, and of these 10 were from burns and scalds, one was from drowning; no case of suicide is stated. Of the 19 persons who died of small•pox, 12 had not been vaccinated. The thermometer, according to observations made at the Greenwich Observatory, was lowest on the night of the 23d, marking 23.5 degrees (of Fahrenheit), and highest on the 24th; being 48.3 degrees. In a note it is stated that the changes in the height of the barometer have been considerable. On Feb. 22d it stood at 29.1, on the 23d it had risen to 29.7, and on the 24th it had fallen to 28.6, and at midnight rose to 29.5. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY).

Another meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League took place at Covent-garden last night, when the same enthusiasm in the cause, and the same determi nation to fight the battle to the last, was displayed. Sir R. PEEL'S announcement about " finality " was treated with the same respect as Lord J. RUSSELL'S "finality." The audience knew well that the words of a Minister signify nothing unless they are in ac cordance with existing circumstances, and that, though an announcement may come from li:owning street that the corn-law is as unchangeable as the law of the Medes and Persians, it must break down before public opinion. No Minister can resist the public voice. Sir R. PEEL is goaded on to speak in support of the corn-laws ; but no man who has care fully weighed his speeches on free trade—and in that we include the trade in corn—can fail to see that hci s waiting only for a fit opportunity to carry his wise principles of trade into full effect. The Anti-Corn-law League is his best supporter. Its onward course is too rapid, and attended by events too impressive and too startling, to leave room for deliberation on any of the mere outlying circumstances and proper ties which are incidental to the character of its con struction. It is a spell which has awakened the slumberers of half a century throughout the breadth and length of the land. Its most de termined opponents cannot deny that its ap peal has been magical. It has spoken, trumpet tongued, in the north ; it has re-echoed alike through the waste and the cultivated districts of the east; it has made head, and successfully too, against the " sacred legion" of monopoly in the west ; and ere long it will doubtless have brought the fertile counties of the south under its allegiance. That principle must be one of irresistible cogency which can thus, in defiance of long transmitted opinions, of hereditary prejudices, and the authority of practical and experienced, but not the less ill-informed and ill judging agriculturists, assail the very fortresses of monopoly, and tumble down the long consecrated idols of "protective duties" levied on the introduction of foreign corn. In the enterprise upon which the League embarked its leaders felt how much there was to be done—at what powerful odds, with established interests and powers—under what stern discouragement from class legislation. But in the actual conduct of that enterprise they had incessantly to grapple with obstacles more formidable than any they could have anticipated. False data and incomplete statistics had perverted, instead of guiding, the conclusions that highly gifted minds had, in many instances, arrived at, touching the laws of which it was the first, the avowed effort of the League to procure the repeal. And thus, not only were farmers and tenants found amongst the most strenuous supporters of the unjust !SUMMARY OF NEW AND Pubitt Optitton. " Who runs may read." FOZEIGN% Louis Philippe, attended by General Baron Athalin, Colonels Dumas and de Chabannes, and several orderly officers, left the Tuileries Qn Saturday evening at seven o'clock for his Palace at Eu. On Monday M. Frederic Doll 6, responsible editor of the France, was found guilty by the Court of Assizes of publishing articles, being a personal attack upon the King, showing an adhesion to another form of government than that esta blished by law, and attacks upon the oath of allegiance and fidelity. He was sentenced: to be: imprisoned for eight months, and to pay a fine of B,ooof. (320/.) The Duke de Montpe n si er arr i ve d a t Philippeville on the 18th inst., and immediately set out again for Constantine. The expedition against Biskara, which his Royal Highness is gone to join, was about to move. According to a letter from Tunis, of the 3d, which appears in the Algiers journal, the Bey was on the point of sending to Constantina a deputation composed of the highest officers of his household and the state, to express to the Duke d'Au male his regret at not having been honoured with a visit from his Royal Highness, as he, the Bey, had expected. These personages were to offer to the Prince the congratulations of their master on the appointment of his Royal Highness to the supreme command of Constantine. A Royal Ordonnance, issued on the 11th inst, appoints Captain Pujol, of the Navy, to be Governor of the French settlements in India, in the room of Captain Norquer du Camper, who' has held this colonial government above six years. general meeting of the shareholders of the bank of Jacques Laffitte and Company, was held a few days ago, when a dividend of si p er cen t. p er annum (including the interest) was declared on the shares of 5,000 f. each, and of 5 4-sths upon those of I,ooof. The Central Congress of Agriculture on Monday opened at the Luxembourg its first session, the duration of which is fixed by the rules at one week ; the Duke Decazes presided. More than 250 agriculturists from different parts of France, a great number of Peers and Deputies, and members of scientific so cieties were present at the meeting. After having agreed upon all the questions to be discussed, the Congress entered upon those of agriculture, education, and experimental farms. Several able speeches were delivered. The members then formed their Committees, and adjourned till the following day. The rain and snow of the last few days have swollen the Seine to a height of 3 metres 6 decimetres (about 11 feet) on the scale of the Pont-Royal. Between the bridges of the Cite, the river has overflown all the landing-places. The Paris police a few days back made a seizure of one hundred pipes of adulterated wine in one of the first houses in the trade. LAW AND POLICE. In the Prerogative Court, a paper was propounded as the will of a gentleman of the name of Hobart, who died in May, 1843, containing a direction that the sum of 4,4251. should be devoted to an equestrian statue of himself. The paper was in the testator's writing, and in the form of a letter to Mr. Blake, of Norwich, and written shortly before his death. The probate of this paper was opposed, on the ground that so absurd a legacy afforded evidence of the incapacity of the deceased. Sir H. J. Fust said, that though the bequest might be an evidence of the egregious vanity of the deceased, it was not sufficient to justify the Court in holding that he was insane, and admitted the paper to probate. At Bow-street, James Glanville was charged with steal ing a number of books, the property of Mr. Bohn, York street, Covent-garden, his master. The prisoner admitted having taken the books, but was remanded for further exa mination. Jane Smith was charged with attempting, by means of false pretences, to obtain alms from the authorities of the parish of St. Clement Danes. After hearing the evidence of the Rev. Mr. Ellis, the rector of the parish, and of the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Saville, Mr. Jardine committed the prisoner to the House of Correction for two months. Henry Hall and John Muggeridge were brought up at Marylebone, for further examination, on the charge of having broken and entered the premises of Messrs. Woollans, paper stainers, High-street, and stolen cash and other property. The case was fully proved, and the prisoners (both of whom have been in the employ of the prosecutors) were committed for trial. At Union-hall, John Elmer, a policeman in the service of the Brighton Railway Company, was finally examined before Mr. Cottingham, on a charge of stealing a gold seal and ring, the property of Mr. Fisher, a gentleman residing at Camden town. The case was fully established, and the prisoner was committed for trial. At Marlborough-street Henry Ellison was fully committed on a charge of having stolen a cash-box, containing bills of exchange and other securities for money, amounting to 7001., toe property of his master, M. Savin, French flower and trimming importer, in South Molton-street. At the Thames Police Court, Elizabeth Reynolds, a young woman, nineteen years of age, was brought up by John Charles Kay, an officer of Excise, charged with working an illicit still, at No. 4, Alfred-place, Stepney. He found the prisoner in the back kitchen, standing beside a copper still, and surrounded by all the implements and apparatus used in distillation. The prisoner, when questioned, said she had been employed for a fortnight, at 3s. per day, by a Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, whose persons she described, but denied any knowledge of their abode. Mr. Broderip said that he must convict her in the penalty of 30/., or sentence her in default to three months' hard labour in the House of Correction. COURT-PASHIONABLE. The Prince of Wales, Duke of Northumberland, Earl of St. Germans, Earl of Mount Edgecumbe, Lady Basset, and Sir Richard Vyvyan, Bart., M.P., have respectively contri buted 1001. to the additional building of the Cornwall County Lunatic Asylum.

The Duke of Wellington arrived at Strathfieldsaye en Tuesday. and on Wednesday gave a splendid entertainment to Mr. Justice Wiglitman and Mr. Justice Cresswell, the Judges on the western circuit. The High Sheriff, Mr. John Thomas Waddington, the Speaker of the House of Commons, and a circle, of about thirty of the magistracy of the county, were invited to meet the Judges by the noble host. Lord Elphinstone arrived at the Clarendon Hotel, early in the week, from his seat, Cumbernauld, Dumbartonshire, being his first visit to his Scottish estates since his return from the Government of Madras. Lord Eastnor, M.P., has been making a tour in the East, and is not expected home until the advance of the spring. Lord Suffield left Fenton's Hotel on Wednesday, for Nor folk-square, Brighton, where Lady Suffield is staying in deli cate health. Lord and Lady Portman'and family left Bryanstone House, Dorset, on Saturday last, for Brighton, where they have en gaged a residence for a short time. The Marquis of Westminster is quite recovered from his recent slight indisposition. The Marquis does not intend to leave Eaton Hall for Grosvenor House before the Chester races are . over ; but the Marchioness will be in town, most likely, a week prior to that meeting. The Marquis of Clanricarde has left Carlton House-terrace for Hooton Park;on a visit to Sir Wm. Massey Stanley. The Duke of Leeds returned to the Clarendon Hotel yester day, from Melton Mowbray, where his Grace has been en joying the diversion of hunting with the Melton hounds. The Duchess and the Dowager Duchess are still at Hornby Castle. MISCELLANEOUS. Nearly all the mails from the north are arriving at the General Post-office considerably beyond time. In Edinburgh and the north of Scotland there have been heavy falls of snow, and many of the roads are completely blocked up. The mails from Edinburgh, Stirling, Glasgow, Perth, Inver ness, Aberdeen, Montrose, Arbroath, Forfar, Dundee, and other places, are overdue. The Wick and Thurso mails are more than 48 hours overdue. At a meeting on Wednesday of the ratepayers of the pa rish of St. George-the-Martyr, a petition to the Commis sioners of Woods and Forests was proposed and agreed to, praying that a portion of any sum granted for the improve ment of the metropolis might be applied towards the forma tion of a road through the district called the Mint to the Great Dover-road. The Mint was stated to be one of the most immoral and profligate places in the metropolis. A numerous and influential meeting of coal-factors, coal merchants, and others interested in the coal trade, was held on Wednesday, at the Coal Exchange, near Billingsgate, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament on the proposed new tax of sd: per ton upon all coals imported into London, in order to defray the expenses of the contemplated Thames embankment. It was urged, amongst other arguments, that the poorer classes would be greatly aggrieved by it ; that the extent of the tax would be to the large amount of 55,0001. a year upon the inhabitants of London and its environs ; that the coal and shipping interests could bear no further bur dens, being already sufficiently taxed by the impost of is. Id. per ton already in force ; and that the projected embankment along the Thames was an imaginary scheme for improving the banks of the river, and would be fraught with consider able injury and inconvenience to the proprietors of wharfs and the navigation of lighters. A petition in accordance with the object of the meeting was unanimously adopted, and will be presented to the House of Commons by Sir J. Duke. Sir John Beckett presided at the annual dinner of the Law Life Assurance Society, on Tuesday evening, at the Clarendon Hotel. Lord Abinger, Lord Campbell, the Right Hon. C. E. Law, Sir Charles F. Williams, &c., were present. A return, moved for by Sir J. Graham, Bart., shows that the total number of paupers relieved in the quarter ending Lady-day, 1843, in 584 unions in England and Wales, amounted to 1,303,089, of whom 201,927 were in -door, and 1,101,162 out-door paupers.

In the list of the minority published in the Evening Edition of The. Sun, who voted for the production of a correspondence between Earl De Grey and the Dublin Protestant Operative Association, the name of Mr. J. S. Tre lawny was accidentally omitted, but it appeared in the Morning Edition. A curious fraud occurred in the City in the course of Wednesday afternoon. A poor countryman called at an eminent banking-house with a 201. note, desiring to pay in 101. on account of a provincial bank, of which this house was the agent, and to re2eive the other 101. in sovereigns. As he was a stranger, the clerk to whom he applied refused to take the note and give him the required change, and directed him to get it changed at the Bank of England. The countryman proceeded there accordingly, and just as he was about to enter was met by a person who told him he need not trouble himself to go any further, as he could give him change at once. The countryman gave him his note, and receiving what he thought to be twenty sovereigns, returned to the banking-house to pay in the ten. His consternation was great, when he found that the coins he had received were only worthless medals. ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—On Tuesday the members of this Society met numerously at their mansion in Hanover-square. Professor Owen, F.R.S., in the chair. It was announced, amid applause, that, since Sunday last, another valuable accession to the Society's menagerie, in the Regent's-park, had taken place in the shape of a new male giraffe, the foal of one of those which, in 1837, was brought over from the forests of Darfur, in the interior of Northern Africa, upwards of 6 feet high, the dam being about 17 feet. Mr. Gould presented three new specimens of kangaroo, and Mr. Frazer three new species of birds, hitherto unknown in this country. A new species of stryx, or " snowy owl," was acknowledged from Captain Farrer ; and the reading of a paper by Mr. Yarrell, on a remarkable shoal of a new species of fish caught at Lyme Regis, and which had added to the handicraft of the fishermen, concluded the proceedings of the evening. The enthusiasm displayed at Covent-garden on Wednesday evening must have shown Mr. O'Connell that the heart of the English people is in the right place—that they are ever ready to fling themselves into the breach when injustice is perpetrated—and that they will not stand tamely by, and allow him to be made a sacrifice for the gratification of the Orange faction. In Ireland, the best effects may be ex pected from so enthusiastic a reception having been given to the man who, whatever may be his faults, has conferred inesti mable benefits upon his country, and who, as the champion of Irish rights, continues to hold the foremost place in the estimation of his countrymen. Coercion has been attempted in Ireland, with what success is known to all. Pity that our rulers, following the wise example of the late Government, will not again try the experiment of kindness. Much do we fear, however, that nothing is to be hoped for from the men to whom the destinies of Ireland are for the present unfor tlllUttelY committed,—Glasgow sirgus. BYRON V. COOPER. Their Lordships were occupied thevrhole day with the arguments in this case, which came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Exchequer. The question in the case related to the tithes of a parish in Lin colnshire. The Solicitor• General, Mr. Bethell, and Mr. Bacon, ap peared for the appellants; Mr. Simpkinson and Mr. Ander don for the respondents. The case appears likely to occupy two or three days in argument. CHANCERY..-(THIS DAY.) CUMIN HOSPITAL P. EARL POWIS.-THE ATTORWEY-GENE aIAL V. The case came before the Court upon appeal from the deci sion of Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. The Attorney-General, 11r. H. Twiss, and Mr. Wray, ap peared for the Crown; Mr. L. Wigram and Mr. Lloyd for the noble respondent. The question in the case relates to a charity called the Clurin Hospital, founded so far back as the reign of James the First, by the then Earl of Northampton. In the year 1837 this charity was certified, by the Charity Commissioners, I to the Attorney-General, the effect of that certificate being to make the Attorney-General competent to file an informa tion without a relator, and to institute proceedings for the regulation of the charity. In the month of July, 1840, a bill was filed by the warden and poor men of the hospital, against the Earl of Powis and the Attorney-General, praying that the accounts of the charity might be taken, and that a scheme might be approved for the future regulation of the charity. Subsequently, and without any knowledge of the filing of the bill, the Attorney-General filed an information against Earl Yowls having the same object in view as the bill, and to that information no answer was put in till a decree was obtained from the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce in the suit tiled by the warden and poor men of the hospital, and it was not ,until that decree was about to be passed that the Attor ney-General became aware that a bill had been filed. Upon th►s discovery he submitted to the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce that no decree for a scheme for the future management of a charity could be made in any case except where the Attorney-General was plaintiff. The Vice-Chancellor over ruled this objection, and from that decision the present ap peal was brought. After some short discussion, it was arranged that the case should stand over, to see if some arrangement could not be come to by the parties. SHERIFF'S COURT.-(THIS DAY (Before Mr. Sheriff KFZTI.Z.EDY and a Common Jury.) WILLIS V. MALTBY. Mr. Thomas appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Lock for the defendant. This was an action to recover 41. Is. 2d., for work and labour, under these circumstances:— The plaintiff, a cook, entered the service of the defendant, a gentleman residing at Brixton, on the 12th of August, 1843, on an understanding that she was to receive 15/. a-year for her services. She quitted his service on the 7th of October, having been dismissed for alleged misconduct. The action, therefore, was for a month's wages, and for board wages. during that period. The plaintiff did not continue in the service of the defendant during the month, but contended, that by established usage, she was fully entitled to a month's warning, or a month's pay. Moreover, the case being ag gravated on the part of the defendant, he having given her in charge of a policeman, for creating a disburbance in his house, and on a trumpery charge of throwing some potatoes into the dust-bin. On reaching the station-house, he did not, however, prefer any charge against her. One pound, seven shillings, had been paid into Court. Mr. LOCK for the defendant said, that the only parties who would derive any benefit from this action, should it be decided in favour of the plaintiff, would be the plaintiff's solicitor and his Learned Friend. The action was brought in the Queen's Bench in order to in crease the costs and to put the defendant to as much annoy ance as possible. It ought to have been tried at a Court of Requests or before a magistrate—in either case, the expense being trifling and such disputes as the one before the Court amicably settled. He contended that the plaintiff was a bad servant, that she behaved improperly and violently, and that the defendant was perfectly justified in abruptly dismissing her. He also contended that the 11. 7s. which had been paid into Court was amply sufficient to compensate the plaintiff. Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 41.15. 2d.

In this matter the insolvent had been previously in this Court before the Learned Chief Commissioner, when it was ad journed in order to enable the insolvent to come to some arrangement with his creditors, and also to pay a certain sum of money into Court. He appeared now in Court, and stated his inability to com ply with the stipulations which he had proposed at his last hearing. Mr. Commissioner POLLOCK then read the judgment of the Learned Chief Commissioner, by,which the insolvent was remanded for a period of eight months from the date of his vesting order, for fraudulently making away with property, to the detriment of his creditors. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Elizabeth Fakins was charged with robbing Daniel Nicho las, an apprentice on board the Lord John Russell brig, under the following aggravated circumstances :—The complainant, who is quite a youth, was going on board the Lord William Russell with a bundle, containing his Bible, shirt, and some articles, but the people of the vessel not hearing him when he hailed from the shore, the prisoner came up and offered her services to obtain for him a lodging for the night, as it was then getting late. The boy finding that he had no chance of getting on board availed himself of the offer, and the pri soner took him to a house in Vine-yard, where she robbed him of his bundle and ran out of the house. The prisoner was taken into custody soon afterwards, and in the course of the examination it was stated that she had been frequently in custody on charges of felony.—She was committed. MAR YLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) John Jud, living in Back Church-lane, Whitechapel, was charged with having been driving furiously, and thereby running the shaft of his chaise-cart into the chest of a young horse, belonging to Mr. Thomas Sandford, hay and corn salesman, of Market-street, Paddington, and causing its death. The evidence went to prove that, yesterday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, the defendant was driving at the rate of ten miles an hour along the green lanes which lead from Paddington to Kensal New-town, and that he came in contact with Mr. Smidford, who was driving his horse and gig in a contrary direction. The shaft of defendant's cart penetrated the chest of Mr. Sandford's horse, causing its death almost instantaneously. His cries of " police " brought a constable to his assistance, and the defendant was given into custody. Mr. Loves thought that driving at the rate of ten miles an hour along such an unfrequented road did not come within the provisions of the Act. He would, therefore, dismiss the case, but the complainant could, if he felt so inclined, enter into an action in another Court. He (Mr. Long) would, however, recommend that some arrangement should be made between them. The parties then left the Court. LIVERPOOL GRAND STEEPLE CHASE.

The race, for nearly the whole distance, was between the first four, Tom Tug having a strong lead to the lane, in the second round, where The Returned, Romp, and Caesar, joined him, and they raced together to the straight running. Discount then went up, headed them at the distance, and went in a gallant winner by 20 lengths, The Returned beat ing Tom Tug by nearly two lengths. Caesar was a bad fourth, and Lather fifth ; the others were beaten off. The ground ran over was the same as last year ; it was very heavy.

Peter Simple made all the running to the last hurdle, which was taken in advance by Heslington and Chance nearly abreast. At the stand, Chance quitted her companions and won cleverly. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. WEDNESDAY EVENING.—This crack affair came off to-day as fixed, at Aintree, and attracted, as usual, a very large concourse of spectators. The day was fine in the morning, but by the time the majority of the spectators had assembled, and just previous to the race, it began to rain heavily, but again cleared up before the race was over. The race, as our sporting readers are aware, was for a Sweepstakes of 20 sovs. each, 10 forfeit, with 100 added, and was run over four miles of ground which, from the very small number of falls and other mishaps, did not appear to have been of a very difficult nature. The ground was very heavy, owing to the late rains, but the pace throughout was capital ; the whole distance, we believe, being done under sixteen minutes. Sixteen horses started, and the race was won by Mr. Quartermaine's Discount (Crickmere), beating The Returned (2d), Tom Tug (3d), Caesar (4th), and the following not placed :—Peter Simple, Robinson, Wiverton, Heslington, Lather, Louis Philippe, Little Peter, Nimrod, Marengo, Teetotum, The Romp, and Charity. The betting was as follows :-5 to 1 agst Discount, 6 to 1 agst Marengo, 8 to 1 agst Wiverton, 8 to 1 agst Heslington, 10 to 1 agst Nimrod, 10 to 1 agst Robinson, 12 to 1 agst Charity, 14 to 1 agst The Returned, and 25 to 1 agst The Romp.
