LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1845. The House of Lords met at Five o'clock. Earl FORTESCUE pres en t e d a petition irom the Rev. Dr. CARWITHEN, praying for a revision of the rubric and also petitions from various plac es i n t h e diocese of Exeter, complaining of the attempts whi c h h a d been re cently made, under the sanction of the Bi s h op , to rev i ve obsolete observances, and to introduce new ones, in the performance of public worship. These petitions also prayed for an alteration in the rubric. The Noble E ar l expressed it as his opinion that it was the duty of the Legislature to interpose for the regulation of the Church in all parts of the country. The Noble Earl concluded by moving that the petition be printed. The Bishop of EXETER was responsible to the Church alone for his conduct, and therefore would not make any defence of his conduct in that House, but would merely state that the line of conduct which he had adopted had been forced upon him by circumstances. lie had called a Canonical Council, and two-thirds of the members of it had advised him to take the steps which he had adopted. Neither the Parliament nor the QUEEN pos sessed the power of altering the rubric ; that power was vested in the Church alone. He was perfectly willing to support a Bill for repealing the Statutes of ED WARD the SIXTH and ELIZABETH, which had so much frightened Dr. CARWITHEN ; but these Statutes did not apply in cases of obstinate refusal to obey the rubric. He hoped their Lordships would not enter into the consideration of the question unless they felt it was their duty to do so, but he doubted whether they had the right or power to interfere. Lord BROUGHAM deprecated all Parliamentary inter ference in the controversy which was at present dividing the Church. As a son of the Church, he certainly agreed to the rule that the laws of the Church should be made by her fathers, and he certainly did not think that that was the place fcr discussion upon this subject. The Bishop of NORWICH rejoiced that the petitions hal been presented. There was a general feeling of opposition among the laity to anything like an approxi mation to the rites of the Catholic Church. After a few words from the Bishop of LONDON, the petitions were ordered to be printed. A conversation then ensued on the subject of the ex pedition of the ill-fated Bandeiras from Corfu, in the course of which the Earl of ABERDEEN stated that the expedition had been planned and executed in a week ; that neither himself nor Lord SEATON had any know ledge of it before it sailed ; and that on its sailing Lord SEATON had refused to dispatch a steamer to bring it back, but had dispatched a boat to Otranto to put the Neapolitan authorities on their guard. He deeply re gretted that Lord SEATON had not cumplied with the re quest that had been made to him, for if he had dispatched the steamer there was little doubt but that it would have brought back the persons who had gone on this expedition. He had no reason to believe that either the Neapolitan or any other Government had sought to entrap the Bandeiras—the very fact of the coast being unguarded contradicted such a supposition. But though he fully exonerated the Neapolitan Government from any collu sion in this matter, he did not mean to say that there had been no treachery, for he believed that there had been, but where the treachery originated, and how far it extended, he was not prepared to say. Lord BEAUMONT, who had originally put the question on the subject, expressed himself satisfied with the ex planation, and their Lordships adjourned. The House of Commons sat at Twelve o'clsck. The Railway Clauses Consolidation Bill passed through Committee. The House resolved itself into Committe on the Rail way Companies' Consolidation Bill, and disposed of several clauses, after which the Chairman obtained leave to report progress, and the House resumed . The Company's Clauses Consolidation Bill passed through Committee, and the House adjourned at Ten Minutes to Four o'clock. At five the House re-assembled, and among the peti tions presented was one by Mr. WAKLEY from the in • habitants of Finsbury, demanding such an investigation into the proceedings which had been adopted with re gard to opening the letters of Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, as should either justify the implied suspicions of the Go vernment or fully establish the innocence of their long tried and faithful representative. Sir R. PEEL stated that it was not the intention of the Government to take the duty off what was commonly called •' straw plait," but that it would be removed from plait made of chips, and of straw or grass. In answer to a question by Mr. IIUME, on the subject of the registration of foreign seamen domiciled in this country, Mr. CORRY said they would be entitled to be regis tered, on taking the oath of allegiance. Sir R. PEEL said, in answer to a question, that he should not be prepared to state the intentions of the Go vernment on the subject of Scotch banking until after Easter. Mr. Ross gave notice of a measure on the subject of mixed marriages in Ireland. Mr. BRIGHT then rose, and in the course of an able, argumentative, eloquent, and very temperate speech, directed the attention of the House to the evils of the present system of game•laws, which injured the farmer, by keeping up a large head of game, which destroyed his produce. Aggravated evils, arising from a scarcity of food, demoralised the inhabitants of the rural districts, and occasioned a great destruction of human life in conflicts between gamekeepers and poachers, and brought many an unhappy wretch to a disgraceful and ignominious end on the scaffold. The Honourable Gentleman concluded a speech replete with valuable information on the subject, by moving, amidst loud cheering, for a Select Committee to inquire into the subject. Dr. BOWRING seconded the motion. Sir J. GRAHAM thought the Hon. Gentleman had stated sufficient to entitle him to an inquiry, and, there. fore, he would not oppose the motion, and he was satisfied that the result of that inquiry would show that the gen try of England had fulfilled their duties. Mr. V. SMITH thought the Government ought to have taken up the subject ; as they had not done so, it would perhaps be better to delay legislation until next year. Mr. DARBY did not think that any Cteration in the laws would do away with poaching. There would be always found in the rural districts idlo persons, who would rather poach than work. Mr. H. BERKELEY did not oppose it, but he denied that the preservation of game occasioned the evils which the Hon. Gentleman had stated. The House was subsequently addressed by Captain Rolls, Mr. HUME, Mr. LIDDELL, Mr. AGLIONBY, Colonel SIBTHORP, Mr. G. BERKELEY, Mr. ESCOTT, Mr. WAKLEY, Mr. NEWDIGATE, Mr. COBDEN, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and other Hon. Members, and the motion was agreed to. The House adjourned at Eleven o'clock. The resolution moved by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, by way of amendment on the Ministerial proposition re specting the alteration of the Sugar Duties, has been very carefully worded. Its terms either comprise or dis tinctly touch all the bearings under which the general application of such a proposition can be viewed. They declare-Ist., that this Ministerial plan professes to set up a distinction between foreign free-labour and foreign slave-labour sugar, which is vain and illusory ; 2d., that they aggravate the evil of the protection already given to the colonist at the expense of the consumer ; 3d., that they so tend to impair the revenue as to render the removal of the income and property-tax, at the end of three years, extremely problematical indeed. Now it is diffi cult to say, with confidence, under which of these aspects the proposition impugned is the most objectionable. We have ou former occasions directed attetion to the very defective machinery by which it was contemplated to ascertain this important element of the character of growth—whether free or servile. The public mind by this time seems pretty well made up to the imperfect test which any " certificates of origin " can really sup ply as to this matter. But there is a great economic error in the scheme of apportionment of duty, as between our own colonial and foreign free-labour produce. If it was thought right to encourage free-labour produc tion in foreign possessions, by admitting some portion of such sugars into the market of home consumption, from whence we have hitherto rigidly ex cluded it—what must be the inevitable result of bur dening it with a discriminating duty higher than that which is paid by our own West India sugars ? That the foreign cannot compete with the colonial commodity to any extent beneficial to the British consumer. Were the duty on our own colonial sugar reduced still more, the public would benefit little by the resulting diminution of price, so long as the growth of foreign free-labour could only enter the market under the disadvantage of a much more than proportionate protection to our West Indian sugar, in the rate of the relative or differential duty imposed upon it. All that foreign free labour could pour into the hom e market, would fall far, very far short of the demand which would exist, were the home consumer fairly dealt by ; and we do not believe that, under the most favourable circumstances, the increased production of our islands, &e., will next year be so great as at all to fulfil the maximum expectations of Sir ROBERT PEEL. But how CAR either Sir ROBERT PEEL Or Mr. GLADSTONE have gravely imagined that any de vice upon which they could hit, will ever pre vent the introduction and consumption of slave grown, in the place of free-labour sugar ? And if they cannot ensure the entire and honest working of their own principle, what becomes of the case for the specific new charges of duty suggested, or fur resisting the just demands of the British consumer to have foreign sugar admitted at a duty much more nearly approximated to the duty on our colonial sugar than it has hitherto paid, or even than it is now proposed to subject it to, as to give him, the consumer, the benefit of a sensible, visible reduction of price ? The truth seems to be, that the " certificates of origin" will not be worth the paper on which they are printed, and the stamps that are to authenticate them. Let us pass over altogether the .rauconisaitdeed papers ," consideration facility and success with which othaser pthuerypoaserse, i called, can each of be the at all times obtained, f or where it is proposed to grant these poss e e ertificates for suga with us, a right to b r i ng in their Are there no Stat es w hi ch n au t a r rs treaties certain favourable rates ? Tru e , th ere may be express exceptions in particular stipulations agai ns t th e slave grown sugars of these States. But what is to prevent them from importing from other States—which do no toriously employ, and perhaps exclusively, slave-labour— THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, ,FEBRITARY 28, 1845. slave-grown sugars ; repacking, or otherwise preparing them in their warehouses, and then bringing them into our London or West India Docks, or into the Ports of Liver pool or Bristol, or Greenock, as veritable, genuine free labour grown ? And will the evil--(for we conscien tiously admit the extension of slave labour to be in itself an enormous evil, whilst we doubt if its eatirpabilify)— s ill the evil stop here ? By no means. The vacuum created_in the supply necessary for the consumption of the countries which have re-exported this slavery-tainted sugar to us, will be supplied by the enforced increase of production in the slave states of its original growth. We are now discussing the question of dicriminating duties only ; and are therefore not called upon here to enter into this larger and more serious part of the question, " how to reconcile the just and reasonable demands for cheap sugar of our highly-taxed British con sumer, with the progress of negro emancipation." It is enough to show with how much reason Lord J. Rossinn denominates the attempted distinction of origin to be " impracticable and Magary." We have seen, that so far us regards the protection to our West India planter, which the discriminating duty levied on foreign sugars imported here, extends to him, it is, pro tint), a grievous tax on the home consumer, and therefore an " evil." This evil might be alleviated, in his estima tion, if it could be shown that it carried with it undoubted tendencies to diminish the exten sion of slavery. But if, instead of these pro perties, the Ministerial proposition works rather to encourage the cruel practice of agrestic slavery, it is, as his Lordship forcibly puts it, an " aggravation of the evil," at his expense, who, of all the world, has made the noblest and most costly sacrifices to blot it out of the list of those fearful crimes which civilization, in some regions of the world, has not yet had courage or virtue enough to abjure and abandon ! The third defect imputed by his Lordship's amendment to the Ministerial plan, is, that it goes so largely to diminish the revenue, as to make it very doudtful whether, at the end of three years, the property and income-taxes can be removed—(as Government pretends to assume they will be). If, in our repeated protests against the tax thus indicated, we had wanted an argument to enforce our demonstration of its impolicy, its injustice, its terrible improvidence, this branch of the Noble Lord's resolution would have supplied us with it. Vote an income-tax, and the Mi nister will immediately set himself to consider, not so much what portions of the fiscal revenue can be re mitted with the greatest immediate advantage to the community at large, and the least practicable disturb ance to organised interests, as those which may offer to his choice the most tempting aspects of an immediate popularity resulting from their repeal. Our own opinion is, that without the income and property-tax, continued as they are to be, by an unheard-of stretch of Minis terial influence on the one hand, and public credulity or apathy on the other, in the thirtieth year of profound peace, for three years to come, without those odious imposts the Minister would have been compelled to mature and carry through a far more large, sweeping, and )1 t productive measure of com mercial and fiscal reform, in the same direc tion, indeed, with the bold advanees towards free trade, which the Premier must be allowed to have made,—but to a point much nearer that which it it is essential to the maintenance of the national pros perity > should be attained. The difficulties that beset the isolated question of the Sugar Duties present an in structive lesson to statesmen on the danger of embark ing upon round abstract principles, and attempting then to trim their timid course upon them by half and ill assorted measures. The question for the present, however, ap pears to be settled by the division of last night. The Minister had a large majority, and two motions on the subject have thus been disposed of. We fear the only remaining one will meet the same fate, and the public will thus be robbed of the advantages which they had been led to expect from the opening speech of Sir Ro- BERT PEEL. Madrid journals of the 19th publish some particulars of the insurrection at Vittoria, which appears to have be( nof a purely military character. Some of them also mention that a Carlist conspiracy had been discovered at Burgos. The following appears in the Heraldo of tha 19th:—" Government received this morning a dispatch from the military authority at Vittoria, gibing the most minute details regarding the conspiracy among the troops of the garrison. Eight officers, several sergeants, corporals, and soldiers, are prisoners, and will be tried directly. Immediate punishment sill fall upon the guilty. Government received at the same time news of the discovery of a Carlist consptra•:y at Burgos." The Three per Cents. closed on the Madrid Bourse on the 19th inst. at 32 13-16 for cash, and 334 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 231 for cash, and 244 at GO days ; and the Coupons at 26, for the 4th of March. On Monday the Secret Service Money Bill was pre sented to the French Chamber of Peers by M. Du- CILITLL, the Minister of the Interior, who of course anticipated no opposition in that quarter. On intr.,- ducing the Bill, he adverted to the decisive vote in the ether Chamber, after a lengthened discussion, and said, " We considered it our duty on that occasion to call our selves for the discussion, the incidents of the debate on the Address having rendered it necessary. Before you, Messieurs, the same necessity does not exist, for not two months back you gave, by a large majority, after a solemn and mature discussion, your adhesion to the domestic and foreign policy of the Cabinet. We have a firm confidence that your sentiments have not changed ; but we are not the less ready to accept every discussion, and to give you on every question the most complete explanations." On Tuesday the Chamber of Deputies resumed the dis cussion on the Council of State Bill, which was strongly op pos;cl by M. CREMIEUX. A long discussion took place in the Bureaux, or Committees, on the Great Northern Rail way Bill ; but as the majority of the Committee are favourable to the measure, it will ,be carried with cer tain modifications. The penal enactments are objected to, as well as the clause which requires the deposit of thirty millions of francs. The Finance Minister said the Government had no objection to reconsider that clause. The Members composing the Committee are MM. DUPRIT, LUNEAU, GALLOS, BERRYER, CADEAU D'ARCY, ARDANT, LAUYER, MURET DE Bonn, and GAR NIER PAGES ; all of whom, with the exception of MM. G. PAGES and LUNEAU, are decidedly favourable to the Bill. • Accounts from Berne and Zurich to the 20th instant had been received at Paris, but they add little to our previous information. General SONNENBERG, who has been appointed Commandant of the Lucerne troops, re viewed several regiments on the 20th instant, and it is said some of the officers on the occasion threw up their commissions, as they could not take the required oaths to the Government. The Grand Council of Zurich came to the resolution of authorising the Executive Council to assemble such forces as might be necessary to protect the Diet during its sittings. Hopes were en tertained that the interference of the great Powers would prevent a civil war. The French Funds again declined on Tuesday. The Three per Cents. closed at 84f. 75c.; Ditto New Loan at 851. 80c.; the Five per Cents. at 121 f. 65c.; Orleans Railroad Shares at 1,195 f.; Rouen, 1,1151.; Havre, 912 f, 50c.; Belgian Two-and-a Half per Cents., 61f. 75c.; Spa nish Three per Cents., 404 ; Ditto Domestic Debt, 33k. OPENING OF THE BRAZILIAN LEGISLATURE. SPEECH OF TIIE EMPEROR. " Most worthy and honourable Gentlemen, Representatives of the Nation,— " I always experience a great pleasure in finding myself amongst you. The precarious state of the health of the Im rial Princess, my dearly beloved sister, placed me under the cruel necessity of seeing her depart from me. Yielding to the solicitations of the Prince, her august husband, and my very much esteemed brother-in-law, I was under the neces sity of granting her a twelvemonth's leave of absence, for the re-establishment, in Europe, of her very precious health. " The contiued proofs of the valour and loyalty of my fleet and army still deserve my approbation. Their endeavours and my clemency have put an end to the disturbances which lately afflicted the province of Alagoas, and afford me like wise the best founded hopes that those of my subjects who, in the province of St. Pedro, Rio Grande, and Sul, who have for more than nine years kept up a civil war, will shortly lay down their arms. _ _ _ ~ "The peaceable andfriendly relations with all foreign nations continue unaltered, and I shall be very anxious to maintain them without compromising the dignity and interests of the empire. "The national industry, in all its various branches, engages my especial attention, and claims equally yours. " My Ministers and Secretaries of State will give in their respective budgets an account of the matters coming within their several departments. " Most worthy and honourable Gentlemen, Representatives of the Nation— " From the perfect harmony which subsists between the political powers of the State, and from your patriotic and well-directed labours, in unison with my zeal, I hope to see the institutions of the :country and the public peace more firmly consolidated throughout the empire. " The session is opened." THE BUDGET.—It; instead of abolishing the auc tion duty, Sir R. Peel had either reduced the duty . , under the income-tax, upon trade and industry (leaving it as it is, upon the real and the funded property), or had not taxed trade and industry beneath 3001. or 500/. (the real and the funded property as it is), the country generally (the land holders excepted) would have been by far more satisfied. A line or scale ought, in justice and honesty, to have been applied in this respect when the 'Property and Income-tax Act was passed. If Sir Robert had not courage to do that on passmg the Act, he might now accomplish it, as he has his team of landholders more " in hand" in 1845, than in 1E 4 2.—From a Correspondent. UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, WADNESDAY. By the an ival of the packet-ship Penick Henry, Captain Delano, we have received New York papers to the Bth inst. inclusive, being seven days later than the last intelligence The news is of considerable interest. The House of Itepre, sentatives had passed the Bill for the occupation of the Oregon territory, after much discussion and some violent speeches by certain members against Great Britain. of which the following are specimens :—Mr. Douglas, who seems well fitted for a lawless borderer, said, " Give us mili tary posts in that territory, garrison them with American officers and soldiers, and he, tor ene, would not care much about laws. It was not laws, nor civil authority, by which possession of the country could be maintained, but it was by military force that we must take possession of it as well as keep it. If the question should bring us to war, much as he deprecated it, much as he loved peace, he would be ready to meet it. Let us establish our military posts, have our naval forces on the coast, and be in a condition to repel any egres sion on the part of Great Britain, and punish any invasion on our rights, and then, if war shall come, we will be ready to meet it." _ Mr. A. Brown said, that Great Britain could not make war against the United States for anything contained in the Bill before them ; but if she should consider it cause for war, he would say, " Let her have it—on the first day and hour that she desires it let her have it." On the Ist inst. Mr. Winthrop addressed the Committee in an able speech against the Bill, in which the spirit of war and of aggressive acquisition which was prevalent in the House was severely and justly rebuked, and the violent and abusive language indulged towards Great Britain, as it re spects her policy in this conduct, shown to be wholly with out warrant, either of history or of contemporaneous circum stances. On the 3d the Bill was finally passed by a majority of 140 to 54. It was introduced into the Senate on the following day, read twice and referred to a Committee. The Committee of foreign relations bad reported against the Bill fur the annexation of Texas. The correspondent of the Courier and Enquirer, dating Washington, February 10, says upon the question of an nexation : " The Committee on Foreign Relations, through their chairman, Mr. Archer, made a report to the Senate to-day, adverse to the project of annexation. The Committee con sist of Messrs, Archer, Choate, Morehead, and Buchanan ; and they were, with the exception of Mr. Buchanan, unani mous in the report and the accompanying resolution, which is as follows " Resolved,—That the joint resolutions from the House of Representatives for the annexation of Texas to the United States be rejected.' " They also reported an additional resolution, which merel recommends that the memorials on this subject referred; : the Committee be laid upon the table." On the following day a Bill was presented on this question. which provides for the annexation of Texas as a State. Coin taissioners are to be appointed by the President to negotiate with Mexico and Texas, for which purpose the Bill ap propriates 100,000 dollars. The Commissioners are to re port, and in next Congress their communication will be considered. The creditors of the repudiating States will be glad to learn that Pennsylvania has paid the February interest on her debt. A Bill to that effect passed both branches of the Le gislature by a unanimous vote in each, on the Ist instant. The payment took place on the 3d, and was signalised by the firing of cannon. Pennsylvanian stock has risen consi derably. _ . . There had been little or no business in the New York markets iu the course of the week prior to the sailing of the packet, on account of the great snow-storm, which had inter rupted communication. Foreign exchange was firm at 1094 to 110 and 1101, with a moderate demand. _ _ _ _ Freights to London-355. to 40s. for tobacco, 3s. for flour naval stores 3s. 6d. to 45., measurement goods 30s. to 40s. per ton ; seeds, I2s: ; rice, 10s.

He has sent three of his officers to treat with the supreme Government, the troops on both sides withdrawing into cantonments. The revolution was believed to be en tirely at an end, and Santa Anna's submission complete. SUFI !AR°! OF NEWS AND ptatton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. On Sunday evening, their Majesties the King and Queen of the French received the Austrian Ambassador, Marshal Duke d'lsly, the Prince de Montleard, Count de Bondy, Baron de Montmorency, and General Marbot. "Last night," says the Courriet Francais of Tuesday, "the Court treated themselves to the amusement of a visit aux flambeaux to the Louvre galleries. Four footmen dragged two cars with arm chairs, in which the King and the Queen sat. Ten footmen carried reflector lanterns, placed on the ends of long poles." The same paper states that Louis Philippe will spend a part'of the summer at the Chateau d'Eu, where works on an extensive scale are proceeding. M. Villemain (says the Revue de Paris) has resumed his functions of Perpetual Secretary of the French Academy. The honourable member, in a short and lucid address, thanked his colleagues for the very marked sympathy which they had evinced for him on a late painful occasion, which fortunately was now only a reminiscence. The results of the census of Paris in the year 1841 has just been published, from which it appears that in Paris, properly so called, including the garrison 623,228 men), the number of inhabitants was then 935,261. The next census takes place at the end of the present year. "Government," observes the Revue de Paris, "have re ceived dispatches from our Ambassador in Switzerland, and they have just sent him instructions relative to the crisis which the Cantons are at this moment undergoing. M. Pon tois is instructed to declare to the Diet that, in accordance with the other Powers, France will not interfere in the affairs of the country, so long as they will follow their legal course, but that she is determined on maintaining in its integrity the constitution of the 7th of August, 1815, which was freely assented to by the Cantons, and approved of by the European Powers." A letter from Zurich, of the 20th says :—" The Executive Council has desired the Council of War to dismiss as promptly as possible all the troops that have been assem bled, with the exception of one company, to act as a guard of honour to the Diet. The Yorort has invited the Canton of Lucerne to withdraw its troops from the frontier." The King of Sweden and Norway opened the Storthing of the latter country at Christiana on the 10th instant. In his speech on this occasion, atter paying an affecting tribute of veneration to the memory of his father, he assured the assem bly that his dearest wish was to realise all the paternal views of the deceased Sovereign for the welfare of his people, and the cordial union of the two countries on principles of strict justice and equality. In addition to the comet recently seen at Berlin, Paris, and London, M. Colla, the astronomer of Parma, announces that he has discovered anther; and in the log of Captain Hilaire Gautier, who has arrived lately at Marseilles, a third is mentioned. The latter is said to be placed between the two stars No. 11 of Eridanus, and 16 of the Atlas of Harding. This comet disappeared at the moment when Captain Gautier approached the equator. The Augsburgh Gazette says:—"We have before us a letter from Cairo, of the 21st January, announcing that a letter has been received from M. d'Abadie, dated Aden, the 17th of October, in which he says that he has discovered the source of the White Nile, in the Ganira country." sdw warm Po* 103. At the Carlisle Assizes, Robertshaw, a quack doc tor, was convicted of manslaughter, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment. He prescribed jalap and corrosive sublimate for a man named Coulthard, who had died from the effects of the dose. Matthew Paris, and his wife, Anne Paris, were jointly in dicted at the Middlesex Sessions, charged with having wilfully omitted to provide sufficient meat, drink, and sustenance for Robert Paris, their son ; and in a second count, charging them with having confined the said Robert Paris in a certain cellar, and refusing to sup ply him with sufficient meat and drink, between the Ist day of August, 1841, and the 12th of February, 1845. The jury were in the act of considering their verdict, when the judge intimated to the prisoners that it would be better for them to withdraw their plea of Not Guilty, and plead Guilty. The prisoners, after some hesitation, adopted this course. His Lordship then ordered Paris to enter into his recognisance in 201., and in the same sum for his wife, to come up for judgment when called upon ; and if he treated his children with more kindness, he would hear no more about it. . At Clerkenwell, Thomas Shaw was charged by Mrs. Jane Johnson, of Gloucester-street, Gloucester-square, with bur glariously entering her dwelling-house. The prosecutrix, on Tuesday night last, was alarmed by a noise, and on entering die parlour with a female friend, they found the prisoner 'concealed under the bed. They called "Murder!" and the prisoner was given into custody. Some lucifer matches were found in his possession, and , a parcel of duplicates. He was remanded. COURT-FASHIONABLE. The Duchess Olijnt will take her departure on Friday from Frogmore House for Clarence House, St. James's. The Royal Duchess will be accompanied by the Countess of Wratislau, and attended by Lady Fanny Howard, and Col. Sir George Cowper, Bart. Her Royal Highness gave a small dinner party at Frogmore House on Wednesday evening. Viscountess Palmerston has issued cards for the first of a series of soirees, to commence on Saturday next, at her Lady ship's mansion on Carlton House- terrace. Lord and Lady Charles Beauclerk have arrived in King street from Ankerwycke House. Earl Fortescue has arrived in Grosvenor-square from his Lordship's seat, Castle-hill, near Southmolton, Devon. The Dowager Countess Fortescue is passing the winter at her seat, Wear Gifford, Devon. The Dowager Countess of Pembroke has arrived at Earl Bruce's, Pall-mall, from her Ladyship's seat, Wilton House, near Salisbury. The Countess will remain at the residence of the Noble Earl, until the repairs of her Ladyship's man sion are completed. The marriage of Miss Cecilia Neil Douglas, second daugh ter of the Commander of the Forces in Scotland, Major-Ge neral Sir Neil Douglas, K.C.8., K.C.H., with the Hon. Au gustus Jocelyn, son of the late Earl of Roden, was celebrated in the presence of a numerous and distinguished party, friends and relatives of the bride and bridegroom, on Wednesday last, at Edinburgh. MISCELLANEOUS. The Commissioners of Customs have received a letter from Mr. Cardwell, one of the Secretaries to the Lords Commis sioners of the Trersury, to the effect that he had 'been com manded by their Lordships to state to the Board that infor mation had been received from various quarters of the preva lence of an infectious disorder among cattle, in several parts of the Continent, and to desire that they would give direc tions to their officers carefully to examine any cattle imported into this country, and in the event of their appearing to be infected with any disorder, not to permit them to be landed without inspection and report as to their soundness, by some competent person, and to report the circumstances immedi ately to the Board. The monument which was subscribed for by the friends of the late Dr. Arnold has been for some time in the chapel at Rugby. It was executed in Caen stone by Mr. John Thomas; the figure is recumbent, under a rich Gothic ca nopy, and has given so much satisfaction tr, the Committee that they have rewarded the artist with 100/. beyond the sum agreed upon. On Saturday night, or early on Sunday morning, the tower of llrodick Castle, near Arran, fell with a terrible crash. The old Castle had been injured by the late storms, and seve ral of the lintels had been rent. Workmen were employed in repairing the damage, no fewer than sixteen being working on it on Saturday last. Providentially the fall was during the time when no one was about it. On Wednesday morning, about seven o'clock, as police constable No. 72, belonging to. the G division, was on duty in Red Lion-square, he observed a bundle lying in the en closure; he ..got over the railings, and, having opened it. found a fine female infant, dead, wrapped up in a common stuff apron. The constable immediately removed the body to St. Giles's workhouse, to await a coroner's inquest. Lord Albert Conyngham, the President of the-Arcbmologi cal Association. has resigned his position as the head of that association. A public meeting of the society is about to be held, in consequence of some unpleasant squabbles in the com mittee. PRINCES'S THEATRE. Miss Cushman sustained the character of Rosalind at this theatre, last evening, in Shakspere's beautiful pastoral play of As You Like It. This was Miss Cushman's first appear ance before an English audience in comedy; amt .: we will honestly confesS that we had our misgivings when.-we saw her announced for the character. We scarcely imagined it possible that she, the Lady Macbeth par excellence, could personate the lively, espiegle, witty, and kind -hearted Rosalind. We expected to see a clever piece of acting— but of acting merely. We expected to see that which for a tragedian might be considered a somewhat happy and ingenious attempt at comedy—a performance which might, perhaps, be entitled to take rank by the side of Charles Young's Sir Pertinax 11PSycopliant. In a word, we expected to see Miss Cushman in Rosalind, but it was no such thing—it was the very Rosalind herself. From the beginning to the end of the play we thought not of Miss Cushman ; we saw Rosalind, and Rosalind only. There she was in the first act, the lively, warm-hearted girl ; during the remainder of the play, the mock boy revelling in the free dom of the forest, throwing her gibes and jests about in all directions, rating the love- sick Orlando, yet delighted at the proof of his constancy—excellently maintaining her assumed character of the wayward, witty Ganymede, until, on hearing of the danger of Orlando, her presence of mind forsakes her, and love forces her for a moment to appear in her real character--a very woman 7--" a most excellent coun terfeit, truly"—there she was the very Rosalind of Shakspere. The tone of the character was a pitch higher than we have been accustomed to, but it was in perfect . keeping throughout — a finished and most natural impersonation - Now, what is the secret of Miss Cushman's success in characters so widely different from each other as Bianca, Lady Macbeth, and Ro salind ? It is earnestness. She is in earnest in whatever she undertakes—she thinks nothing of individual self, but every thing of that other self with which for the time she is identified, so that she becomes the very character which she represents, and no actor who does not possess this power can ever be come great. She was throughout re ce i ve d w i t h the most enthusiastic plaudits, and was called for at the conclusion of the play. Wallack, who was also called for, was Jacques, and an admirable Monsieur Melancholy he made. His de clamation was beautiful. We never heard " All the world's a stage " more excellently given. Allen, as Amiens, sung " Under the greenwood tree," and " Blow, blow thou win try wind," with exquisite taste; and Compton was the best Touchstone we have ever seen. He is perhaps the only man now on the stage who th oroug hl y un d erstan d s how Shak spere's clowns ought to be acted. The house was exceed. ingly well attended. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury, ROOKER V. PERCY. The Court was engaged upon this cause all day, which was one possessing n• interest for the public. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb 27. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before . Chief Justice TINDAL and a Special Jury.) NASH V. HARMAN. This was an action brought uy the plaintiff against the Sun In. surance Company to recover damages for the injury done to the premises of the plaintiff, who carr.ed on the business of a tin.plate manufacturer in Warwick-lane, Newgate-street, in consequence of a fire which destroyed the house and a quantity of metal. The premises were insured in the Sun Insurance-office, and the only dispute was as to the amount of the damage and injury sustained. There were, we understand, a vast number of witnesses to be called, so that it was not likely the case would terminate to-day. SHERIFFS' COURT, Feb. 27. (Before J. P. KRNNEDY, Esq., and a Common Jury.) JAMES V- MILFORD. This was an action to recover damages for breach of contract, brought by Mrs. Elizabeth James against Mr. Edward Milford, re siding at Hartford.road, Kingsland. It appears that the parties to this action are relations, and that early last year the plaintiff having some money to invest, entered into an agreement to purchase from the defendant, for the sum of 1,2501., four villa dwellings, situated in Queen's-road, Dalston. The houses, at the time of the purchase being made, were unfinished, and it was a part of the arrangement that they should be put into a tenantable state immediately. The agreement was entered into in January, 1844, yet up to July in the same year the contract had not been fulfilled, as regarded their fitness for occupancy ; while what work had been done to them was, according to the evidence, of a most inferior and imperfect character. The damages sought to be obtained were for the loss of half-a-year's rent consequent upon the agreement not being carried into effect, and imperfect workman ship. The action was undefended. The amount claimed was 150/, The jury returned immediately a verdict for the full amount. THE MURDER AT HAMPSTEAD Immediately after the conclusion of the examination of the ac. cased man, Thomas Henry Hocker, on Wednesday, at Marylebone Police-court, Inspectors Shackell and Haynes, of the detective police force, feeling convinced from the evidence adduced that the party who had undergone examination was in reality the murderer of Mr. Delarue, considered it Necessary further to prosecute an in. quiry with respect to him. The impression made on the mind of the officers was that a sufficiently minute search had not been made of the lodgings of the alleged murderer, or of those of his father, by Inspector Partridge and Sergeant Scotney, at the time they apprehended the prisoner Hocker. Acting on this impression, and under a fear that unless they were prompt in their movements the evidences of guilt against the prisoner might be removed, Inspectors Shackell and Haynes at once proceeded to the residence of Hocker's father, No. 17, Charles street, Portland-town. The inspectors, on their arrival, made known to the father of the alleged murderer the object of their visit, and at once, without any hesitation on the part of the father, every facility was offered them to make a search of the premises. They were first shown into a front room on the first floor, which was the one occupied by his son, who also had a lodging where he was captured, No. 11, Victoria-terrace. In this room the officers found that which is presumptive, if not conclusive, evidence of the atro cious guilt of the prisoner. Secreted In this room were a pair of trousers stained with blood and covered with dirt ; a pair of stock ings, the legs of which were also bloody, the blood having gone through the trousers, and a Mackintosh , the front and back of which were also splashed with blood. On these things being shown to the unfortunate parent, he identified them as those of his son now in custody. A further search was pursued, but nothing else was discos ered, and Shackell and Haynes left the place with the clothes in question In their possession, and Inspector Shackell at once proceeded to the Marylebene Police•court, where he explained COURT ciacuLAß. --- - - - Her Royal highness the Duchess of Gloucester visited the Queen yesterday at Buckingham Palace.
