NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. Tn In the Commons, Sir T. FREMANTLE moved for a new writ for the borough of Londonderry, to elect a Member in the place of R. BATESON, Esq., deceased. The Bury branch of the Manchester and Leeds Railway Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from the Cor poration of Dublin praying for a repeal of the union. The petitioners stated, among other things, that 1,500,0001. had been spent in the most profligate manlier to obtain the Act of Union. He also pre sented petitions to the same effect from various other places, the total number of signatures to which was 387,864. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD presented a petition from Edinburgh, signed by 17,000 inhabitants, pray ing that the grievances of the people should be taken into consideration before the supplies were voted; also a similar petition from Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The Great Western Railway Amendment Bill was read a second time. After the presentation of other petitions and notices of motions, which possessed little public interest, the order of the day for going into a Committee of Sup ply was read. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD moved that the consi deration of the estimates be postponed until some in dication should be made by the Government to re dress the grievances of the people. Colonel RAWDON seconded the motion. After a few words from Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS, in explanation, Mr. W. WILLIAMS said he did not think the Member for Rochdale had made out any good case for the postponement of the Committee of Supply. Had he taken another course, and pointed out the extravagant expenditure of the Government, the large army and the large fleet maintained in time of peace, and moved that these should be fully investi gated before the estimates were voted, he would have joined with him. The Honourable Member then entered into lengthened details of the extravagance of the Government, who kept up a larger standing army than ever was known in the country since the occupation of France. Mr. FIELDING, Dr. BOWRING, and the CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER made some remarks, but, ac cording to the report, they were scarcely audible. Mr. GisnoarTE opposed the motion, which, on a divi sion, was lost by a majority of 94, the numbers for the motion being 11, and against it 105. Sir CHARLES INTAriEu then brought forward his motion relative to the Board of Admiralty, and pointed out numerous defects in the management of naval affairs. His speech is not long, and will be read with interest. After some remarks from other Members, Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT brought forward the navy estimates. The first vote was agreed to, and the House resumed. The Horse-racing Penalties Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be read a third time this day. The House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'Clock. - • - - - - Having received complaints from many of our Subscribers, that they do not receive the THIRD EDITION of The Sun, containing the Debates in Parliament up to the latest hour of Post, as well as the Gazettes on Tuesday and Friday Even ings, containing Military and other Promotions, the Betting at Tattersall's on Monday and Thursday, &c. &c., this is to give notice, that if any irregularity occur in future, it will be immediately rectified by parties forwarding the names of the agents who supply them, to The Sun Office, 112, Strand, London. _ _ Since we noticed the Bill before the House of Com mons for facilitating the recovery of debts under 201., and extending and multiplying the jurisdictions hereafter to have cognizance of processes connected therewith, another Bill, " for the more easy recovery of small debts and demands not exceeding 51.," has been put into our hands. It is of the same class of petty legislation, which, however commendable may be its objects, almost necessarily degenerates into vexatious and objectionable details. It is the curse of statutable remedies applied to minor grievances con- netted with the economy of social life (whether these regard the expense of legal proceedings or the diffi it is thus to be ruled beforehand against the debtor, and in favour of the creditor. Witnesses are in like manner, under similar summons, served, whether within or beyond the limits of the justices' jurisdiction, to be compelled to attend with books and papers, on tender of their reasonable expenses. The justice may adjourn the case; or, on the first hearing, if he deem the claim well founded, may order pay ment of debt and costs. If claim not well founded, or plaintiff do not appear, the justice may order payment of costs to the defendant. And what of damages for the sort of imputation thus cast on de fendant, for his anxiety, for the contingent mischief :occasioned to him Eby the issue of this trumpery process ? Nothing. But it is not, we hope, necessary to proceed further with the analysis of a Bill which is thus palpably inoperative, because insufferably oppressive in its present shape. We reprobate all such needless interventions of Parlia ment with these minor matters, which are much better dealt with by local Courts, that, despite of their occasional inefficiency, have acquired a certain sanc tion and confidence with the public, by reason of their promptitude and practical utility. culty of obtaining—in certain cases of private wrongs—prompt or effectual redress), that they over lay the case which they propose to succour. The machinery is too ponderous for the object. It is too apt to crush both the party who invokes its action and the party against whom it is set in motion. The credulous plaintiff who achieves success with such an auxiliary usually awakens from his dream of triumph to the luxury of discovering that he has " gained—a loss." Independent of all objections to some of the enactments in The Bill before us, on the score of their unconstitutional stringency, and the un technical latitude of their phraseology; the same re sults would attend the measure, were it passed into law, which have so generally attached to similar efforts for the attainment of similar purposes. In the House of Lords, on Friday night, the Bishop of EXETER took occasion,—after presenting petitions from the clergy of Powderham, in Devon, an& Pen ryn, in Cornwall, praying their Lordships to: cause effectual means to be adopted with a view to provide spiritual instruction for the inmates of the different workhouses in the several unions of the country ;—to submit a motion for the appointment of a Select Com mittee on the same subject. But the keen-sighted Prelate took care to incorporate into the terms of his motion a gloss, to the effect that this spiritual instruc tion should be administered by chaplains of the Esta blished Church, one of whom he would have nominated to every principal poor-house. This was the point which the Bishop chiefly laboured throughout his very long and statistics-crowded speech. The gravamen of his complaint—we shall use his own words —was, that, in the union of St. Austell, as in others, " the Church was thrust out from her place as the instructress of the people." The remedy he proposed for this state of things was the nomination of chap lains, as we have already stated. To corroborate his statements, and to enforce the deduction he thus drew from them, the Right Reverend Prelate read a vast number of communications which he had re ceived from numerous districts, both within and beyond his own very extensive diocese,—from the north, as well as from the west and the south, — all more or less illustrative of the condition of spiritual destitution in which the pauper in mates of poor-houses were left, in the locali ties specified, by the defective provisions of the Poor-law Commissioners at the original crea tion of the particular union, or of the board of guar dians of the parish or district, on first entering upon their duties under the administration of the amended poor-law. Liskeard, St. Austell, Bodmin, St. Co ' lumb, St. Germain's, Penzance, and Redruth, all came in, by turns, for a share of his Lordship's cen sure, touching their management of these matters. He reflected pretty severely on the illiberality and unorthodox indifference manifested by the Cornwall boards of guardians especially, and by the Cornubian public, in general. Then his Lordship moved on, like a thunder-cloud, and passing over the county of Devon, fulminated against Axminster and Axbridge, Tavistock and Tiverton. Anon, as if caught in a sudden flaw of wind, he veered away with surprising velo city to discharge the remainder of his bolts over " devoted York and Lancaster ;" from the city of the Minster, to the town of guilds and pageants. Finally, leaving York and Preston, he rolled over Cheshire, he re-appeared in the counties of Durham, North umberland, and Westmoreland, and expended his last wrath upon the monotony of Cambridgeshire. Thus, after muttering in the North Riding of York shire, his ominous denunciation became furious at Mac clesfield ; terrible throughout the proud Palatinates of his spiritual brothers of Durham and Chester ; and finally sank hissing—as a red-hot Oxford man will ever do in such a locality—amidst the sedges of the sluggish " Cam." In sober truth, the whole effect of this declamatory address was not so much to bring under the eyes of their Lordships the un questionable evils of deficient spiritual instruction among large bodies of the community—segregated as the inmates of poor-houses are, from that active communication with other classes of society, which might, in some sort, supply this essential want—as to show that those evils could only be grappled with through the instrumentality of chaplains of the Establishment. Thus, the preamble recites that " it is desirable to fa cilitate the recovery of small debts and demands not ex ceeding 51., and to lessen the expense thereof." Within our own experience, we have known summonses sued out in Courts of Requests in this metropolis, for sums not exceeding Si. respectively, the expenses of which have not exceeded those entailed by the issue of one, two, or three summonses, amounting, with Court fees and all, to something under 205.; and there has been no difficulty, on a fair statement of a fair case by the plaintiff, in obtaining from the Commissioners an order for the payment of his claim and all costs incurred : and certainly no lack of diligence in levy ing, where that proceeding has become necessary, on the chattels and property of the defend ant. Take, for example, the Borough of South wark The records of the Borough Court would show, on the one hand, an immense amount of these small debts thus recovered and paid into Court, with costs of process ; on the other, a large yearly number of debtors committed to the debtors' side of Horse monger-lane Prison, where such levy could not be made, or did not satisfy the amount of distress or exe cution. And it must, in fairness, be admitted that the Commissioners are, for the most part, good prac tical men of business, and quite as competent to The Timm Enmos of The Sun is published regularly every Evening at Seven o'Clock, in time for post, and may be had 300 miles from London next day, and all over the Kingdom within 36 hours.

Morning 13 minutes after 7 I Evening .. 44 minutes after 7, To say that the debate, throughout, was only one long, but involuntary exposition of the interested championship of a High Church Prelate on the one hand,—or of a heartless, sordid, calculating indif ference to the spiritual consolation of the poor, on the part of the framers of the new poor law, and of its more responsible functionaries, on the other,—would neither be correct in fact, nor fair in construction. We can easily believe, objecting as we have ever done to much of the unnecessary hardships and stringency of the amended poor-law, and to its want of flexibility and adaptation to perpetually occurring combina tions of circumstances, which no anticipatory legis lation can meet even in the mass, but with which this law affects to deal, categorically, even in their minutest details ; we can easily believe, that its enactments had their origin in a spirit of the most unaffected and comprehensive charity. In like manner, we can do justice to the sincerity of the Bishop of EXETER'S zeal on behalf of the Church, in whose hierarchy he wears a mitre, albeit that, on coming into, contact with the temporalities and influence attaching to expanded patronage, he is apt to become a little purblind to the connexion—so visible to all the world beside—be tween his own orthodox affection to the " loving judge of the merits of a case brought before them, whether as to the plea of defendant or plaintiff, and as to the extent to which it may be proper for them to use whatever discretionary powers they possess, as any professional gentlemen who could be substituted for them. Now the very first enacting clause in this Bill (No. 2) confers on the creditor, in lieu of the ex isting remedy, a power which in practical execution would be absolutely intolerable. Any such creditor " in respect of an express or implied agreement, or of mother," and the present advantages, and lively hopes of benefits to come, by which she excites and main tains that affection. This infirmity of the Reverend Prelate's is occasional only, so occasional—and, truly, so convenient too,—that it reminds us of the " night blindness" of European and Asiatic soldiers in hot climates, and bad quarters. Their disease is never so aggravated, so disabling, or so epidemical, as when they fancy they are about to march from an indifferent station to a worse one, or to exchange a good for a bad one. If it were day time they could, literally, "see their way." It is but charity to suppose that the Bishop's solicitude, touching the nomination of chaplains of the Es tablishment to poor union-houses, is not at all affected by the mere accident of the pa tronage that would attach to such appointments. We dare wager that he has not the sight of half an eye for any such valuable results from the consummation he so desires! Only, we could wish that he had not laid so much stress on the Liskeard Dissenters hav ing communicated to every board of guardians in the kingdom, the fact of their having defeated the proposed nomination of a Church of England clergyman to the chaplaincy of their union. Again, when the Bishop complains that a Dissenting minister officiates twice every Sunday at St. Austell's poor-house, in the room set apart for a chapel, though not specially sent for by any of the inmates,—does it not occur to him that herein consists the truest praise of the Christian teacher's voluntary devotion to the spiritual wants of the poor ? or, that it may suggest an unfavourable comparison with other parties who do not go to such abodes, nor among such forlorn ones, until they are sent for, and then not voluntarily? And what are the Bishop's notions of the moral guilt of what we must call the " ecclesiastical" apostacy of which he speaks, in the case of an individual who had cast off the office he once held in our Church, and whose s eht o u xi e esaeo q tlht u fde e t oi their t a ?ea : y e: m i n xy : uenci e manner, t s the o w h a Bishop the obviously conducts, s in assumes who l . T w h a t thes t h this s i d i a a o p o g s h t a t e t e r ' of ' aattachedrigid Dissenter, a banker in Penzance ; 2d, that he went so fat as to attend her chapel, and have his children baptized there ; 3d, that he took away the prefix of " Reverend" from his name ;" and 4th, that he actually (proh pudor), " went so far as to appear in a blue coat, and other coloured unmentionables?" Let us finally ask the Bishop how he can suppose the public will sympathise with his indignation, that at Redruth the Dissenters were not willing that the chaplain appointed should perform the two services ; and so the consequence was that one of the two services was performed by a Dissenting minister ? Very good, say we. Just as it should be. The members of the Established Church had the advantage - of one service in conformity with their own opinions ; the mem the taking, keeping, or converting of any goods or chattels where such claim or demand shall not ex ceed 51.," may . . . "apply to any justice of the peace for the county where the defendant shall re side," whether the subject matter of such claim shall have arisen in such county or not, and whether the plaintiff shall reside there or not ;" and such justice shall thereupon grant a summons to the defendant to appear before him, or some other justice for the same county, at a time and place GI • therein specified, to show cause, &c., and, if required by plaintiff, to produce then and there " any books, letters, or accounts, or other documents in his possession, which plaintiff may have specified." We really marvel how gentlemen who bring in bills of this kind can speculate so extravagantly on the care lessness or apathy of the House of Commons, aye, and of the House of Lords, as to imagine that either body would tolerate such flagrant encroachments on the ordinary rule and practice of the common law as these. Here, for the sake of a trumpery demand, between 40s. and Si., the justices of the peace in effect, the most detesetmabit are to be empowered to t p o roc is e s s u se e s , ever attempted to be enforced in England, since the quasi gener a l warran t s . A days of Wu. KEs—these man may have dealt with, and regularly paid, a tradesman for twenty years. At the close of this pe riod he may have ordered, upon credit proffered by this tradesman, Si. worth of necessary clothing and provision for his family. Instead of being in cash to pay the 51., as stipulated at the end —say of three months—unforeseen circumstances deprive him of the power, and so seriously damage his prospects and re sources, that he is compelled to go down into the country in quest of an appointment which he has reason to believe will re-establish his position. Per haps at the very moment which would have installed him in the post, and enabled him honestly to discharge all his debts and obligations, this Si. creditor pounces upon him in Essex or in Kent, with this sort of sum mons, and destroys his own, as well as his creditor's, best chances of ultimate payment. The same creditor, if vexatiously disposed, may compel the production of books, papers, and documents, in volving matters of the most delicate and confidential nature, all of which are to be made patent to the n ew jurisdiction in hunting for evidence, direct or indirect, touching the demand for the five pounds' justices' signature is to be sufficient worth of evidence g°ds.T he that he issued the summons, so that where a point of Jaw could be raised, and perhaps equitably under particular circumstances, • E SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNINGI, FEBRUARY 27, Mkt. bers of the Dissaiting denomination heard another service, in ccaformity with their opinions. If the same arrangemed could only be carried out universally, we should hear of no more complaints of deficient spiritual instuction for the inhabitants of poor-houses. We are, however, ;lad to perceive that this defi ciency of instruction 'ill be attended to in the pro gress of the pending Pill through the House of Com mons. What the Bishop stated of the voluntary offers of clergymen to officiate gratuitously in several cases being rejected, on account of a trum pery, ill-considered, and brutal enactment of the present poor-lay, which requires that the officiating chaplain must be an officer of the paid for fuli seilices, is enough to make one bluil for modern legislation, and its utter forgetfulness, or something worse, of the moral welfare of those whom it affects to protect. The spiritual destitttion of the poor, especially youth and children, it the union-houses of Kings bridge, Tavistock, and Preston, does appear, from the Bishop's account, to be appalling; the desecra tion of the Church services, in these and other such houses, almost incredble from its indecorum. And this last instance of the scandalous neglect even of soci: and moral discipline, to say 'nothing of spiri tual instruction, we cuote, adding only this acknow ledgment, which it undoubtedly extorts from us, that it confirms the case laid by the Bishop for the neces sity of a Parliamentary inquiry. His Lordship's motion for the present, however, has been rejected by the Lords : " The Right Rev. Prelate here read the evidence of Mr. Tufnell on this part of the question, in which the inferiority of the instruction given, and, in some instances, the cruelties practised by the schoolmasters towards the children were detailed at considerable length, the master, in one case, having been detected by the chaplain—herein showing the value, again, of the appointment of such an officer—in attempts to seduce some of the elder girls in the union." Madrid journals, of the 18th, have been received, and, if they are to be credited, no doubt remained that the means adopted by the Government to put down the insurgents would speedily be crowned with success. Accounts from Bayonne, however, state that risings had taken place at several places ; among others Teruel and Barcelona. At the latter place Senor BORELL, a very rich merchant of that city, of Republican principles, and several other persons, have been arrested, and domiciliary visits in search for arms are made daily. A report, prevailed at Ma drid that BONET had, in retaliation for the execution of seven officers, by Rowcau, near Alicant, put four teen of his prisoners to death. We fear the report will prove too well founded. On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents. were done at 29f for cash; 29 15-16ths for 60 days. The Fives, for cash, 20 ; and at 60 days 20k. caused considerable drifting, the roads were rendered almost impassable. This was the cause of delay in the mail, from which serious inconvenience to the commercial world, must yesterday have been expe rienced. MONEY ANDAJOMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, MONDAY -LNG, Consols closed well this afternoon a 974 to 4 ; and parties have been endeavouring to borrow, rather than carry over stock. We do not notice the slightest alteration since the morning in any of the other English securities. The rise in Spanish Stock was supported• up to the termi nation of business, the Five per Cents, being 24i to 4, and the Three per Cents 34 to 334. Brazil Stock was 794 to 80. Belgian Bonds ranged from 1064 to 1064. Portuguese Con verted were 454 to 4. The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these :—Birmingham and Derby Thirds were 7 ; Eastern Counties, 124 to 4 ; North Midland, 124 ; and South Eastern, 144 to discount. Eastern Union have been 4 to 4 ; Edin burgh and Glasgow, 9 ; Ditto Registered, 24 ; Great Western, Half, 174 to ; Harwich Extension, 11; Brighton Loan Notes, 14 ; Birmingham, 130 to 1314 ; Ditto, New Thirds, 374 ; Norwich and Brandon, 24 ; and Yarmouth and Nor wich, 64 premium. Colonial Bank Shares were 124 to 13 discount ; and Pro vincial of Ireland, 164 premium. Owing to the severity of the weather we have no accounts from Paris later than those of the 23d, of which we gave an outline on Saturday. In the Chamber of Deputies on the 22d a rather sharp dis cussion took place, relative to the resignation of M. DE SALVANDY, late Ambassador at the Sardinian Court. M. ()DILLON BAREOT demanded some expla nation on the subject. M. GUIZOT at once replied, "I will give no answer to questions which have been or may be proposed on that topic." M. DE SAL VANDY in like manner refused to answer any ques tions. M. THIERS felt annoyed at this, as he expected to hear from that Deputy some account of the inter view between the KING and him ; and then made an attack, not upon the Foreign Minister, but the Crown. We may judge from the following part of his speech, that M. TRIERS has met with some slight or disappointment at the Tuileries :—" Did a Minister say to M. DE SALVANDY, an Ambassador ought to be so firmly bound to the Ministry, as never to vote against it; we pronounce your dismissal ?' Was it, I ask, a Minister who said this ? If so, we have constitutionally nothing to say. We may discuss the question, if this conduct of a Minister was judicious —and nothing more. But in my opinion it was not a air ,inter who so addressed M. DE SADVANDY. (From The Sun of Last Night.) In the Liverpool Cotton market on Saturday the sales were about 4,000 bales, including 2,000 on speculation, at previous rates.—Shares were steady, and South Eastern and Dover were better. Birmingham and Gloucester were 724 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 574 ; Grand Junction, 2244 ; Great Western Fifths, 184 •, Hull and Selby, 594 •, Liverpool and Manchester, 2214 ; Birmingham Quarter, 274 ; Paris and Lyons, 24 ; ditto and Orleans, 314 ; and South Eastern, 354. Accounts from Liverpool give the following particulars of the Wool trade : " There has been a fair amount of business done in Wools this week, and prices of all descriptions continue firm. The lowness of stocks, of both Foreign and Scotch, is very much felt. There has been a very animated inquiry for Alpaca Wools, both black and brown, and some transactions have taken place at a still further advance. The market is still looking up. The goods made from this article are getting much into favour, and are likely to become very fashionable, as her Majesty has lately ordered some patterns of this fabric. Some improvements have lately been made in the process of dyeing them, and it is said that they are about bringing some patterns of a thinner make, adapted for summer wear, which is expected to have a great run this season." The accounts from New York to the 3d Feb., per Mediator, state that there continued to be some speculation in Cotton, and that the intelligence of the rise in prices here, had caused some of the holders in the south to be most unreasonable in their demands. The article was not being freely shipped to Europe, as it is the game of the speculators to keep it back ; but no doubt the opposition of the manufacturers here will do some good. The Americans were looking for an outlet in Russia, for some of their broadstuffs, owing to the failure of the harvest in the empire, and the permission that has been accorded by an Imperial ukase for the free importation of foreign grain. It appears that important arrests bad taken place of one or two parties supposed to be concerned in the Treasury note-robbery. The Money Market was firm. There is nothing new from Canada. The Mexican Com missioners are reported to have failed in coming to an ar rangement with Texas. A short time back we alluded to the peculiar position of Paraguay, and the necessity of friendly relations being promptly cultivated by us with that remarkable country. We are sorry to read the following, being an extract from a letter dated Paraguay, Nov. 10, and written, as the tenor will show, by a citizen of the United States : " The Government of Paraguay are anxious that the prin cipal and most friendly relations should be with the Govern ment of the United States, as the treaties which exist between most of the South American Republics and Great Britain, give the idea that they look to the latter as their principal support. It was, therefore, that her Britannic Majesty's En voy-, Mr. Gordon, was coldly received, and that the Govern ment of Paraguay are so anxious to cultivate the most friendly feeling with that of the United States, before all other nations." Accounts of the 30th of September from Sydney nptice no particular alteration in the state of the mercantile markets. The Legislature was expected to propose a reduction of the minimum price of land. As the labouring classes continued to suffer, emigration, till the colony rights itself again, will evidently not be advisable, and much the same may be said, we understand, of New Zealand also. The Stock market continues steady, and the principal busi ness has been the preparation for the Account settlement toy morrow. There is not the least difficulty in carrving over accounts, and the continuation is not thought of. the Com missioners have taken about 20,000/. Consols at 974, and the range of this security has been from 974 to 4. Bank Stock is 1954 ; and India Stock, 278. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 1024 to % • and the Three per Cents. 984 to 4.

M. DE SALVANDY thought it his duty in such a case to tender his resignation. He perceived that he ought ,o see in all this only the Ministry, but this resigna tion was afterwards withdrawn through respect for :he KING, and again offered, because they wanted to impose a condition on him which amounted to a penal clause. Such are the facts, and I again repeat that it was not a Minister who spoke, as I have stated above, to M. DE SALVANDY.—(Cries of Order, order; you are attacking the KING?) I hear the Minister of the Interior crying out ' Order.' There is only one way of showing that there is good reason for such an ex clamation, and that is to prove that what I state is false. What are we to conclude from all this ? Why, nothing less than that, under the present Administra tion, acts pass which are at variance with the rigour of constitutional rules." M. GUIZOT followed, and in firm language pointed out what he considered constitutional government:- 4, m y friends, my colleagues, and myself," said he, " consider the representative government in as se rious a light as any one, and it is because we do so that, after serious reflection, I refused to reply to the questions addressed to me. I accept the responsibi lity on everything, but not the discussion. There are matters which I allow myself to be fully respon sible for, but on which I ought not to speak before the Chamber. If any of you think the silence of the Government blameable, let him come forward and prefer a bill of indictment against me. At no period, in any constitutional Government, has it been the practice to force the Ministry to come forward and state the reasons why a resignation is accepted. You speak of constitutional rules, and yet you ask us to infringe them. Silence may be as constitutional as language, and we know how to maintain and prac tice, as scrupulously as you, the constitutional rules, when we refuse to give explanations. Take from the Cabinet the majority—overthrow the Ministry—at tack it as you best may—such are your constitutional privileges, and no one contests them. But do not pretend to dictate to us our duty, or say that we ought to render an account of all the acts that take place in the fulfilment of the constitutional preroga tives. It is through respect for the constitutional rules, of which you have spoken, that I descend from this tribune without having replied to your questions. —(Approbation from the Centre, and rumours from the Left.)" The motion, as we stated on Saturday, was lost. We have since received the Paris papers of Satur day, but they bring no additional news. The Journal des Debats contains a bitter article against M. MIENS, which leaves no doubt of the fact ad verted to above, that a complete rupture has taken place between him and the Court. The conduct of Admiral DUPETIT TUOUAUS was the subject of gene 1 conversation, and was viewed with alarm by the frien.l.3 of peace in Paris. It was generally believed that the Government had nothing whatever to do with the affair, and that he had acted on his own re- JOINT STOCK JUNKS.

The dinner to O'Connell is finally arranged to take place at Covent Garden Theatre, on Tuesday the 12th of March. The difficulties which had, in the first instance, prevailed as to holding the meeting at the Theatre, having been overcome, the occasion will be marked by a festival on a very grand scale. The pit and stage will form one grand area, on which the tables will be spread, and a grand military band, as well as a full choir of singers the wil leading Members l add to the attrac of - tion of the scene. Many f the Liberal party in Parliament will be present, and several of the Peers have signified their intention to attend. In fact, never, at any time, did the Irish question occupy so large a portion of the sympathy of Englishmen, and Justice to Ireland, never was so favourably entertained as at present.

A very heavy fall of snow, which commenced on Thursday and lasted until 12 o'clock at noon on Sunday, had so impeded the roads, north of Durham, that the Edinburgh mail did not reach that city on Saturday, until five hours after its time • and, of course, too late for the railway. On Sunday, the mail was again impeded. The road was clear up to Darlington, and the rail way carriages passed freely and in good time. In .

In answer to a question from Lord BROUGHAM the Earl of ABERDEEN said he had received no commu .nication respecting a collision between the English and French ships of war in the South Seas, and he thought the report to which the Noble Lord had alluded was very improbable. In answer to another question from the Noble and Learned Lord, the Earl of ABERDEEN said the King of PRUSSIA had adopted some measures in relation to the Polish refugees residing in Posen, but how far those measures extended he was not prepared to say ; but from the well k n own character of the King, it would appear that whatever had been done was war ranted by the necessity of the case. Lord CAMPBELL called the attention of the House to a statement made by Lord RODEN relative to Catholic jurors in Ireland, and especially to the case of Mr. RICHARD O'GoamAN, which led to no result. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE gave notice that he would move that any instructions given in Ireland relative to the mode of striking juries be laid before their Lordships, and the House adjourned. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND littlattr cptnton. " Who runs may read." FOR,ZIGN. Queen Christina attended Divine service at the Cathedral at Lyons on the 20th inst. After the mass, the Queen re ceived in her apartments the Prefect, the Mayor, and all the civil, law, and military officers of the city. In the morning of the 21st her Majesty embarked in another steam-boat for Avignon, where she would arrive the same evening. It is stated in a letter from Hayti, 23d ult., that M. A. Barrot, not having been able to come to an understanding with the Government as to the time to be allowed for the payment of the French claims,' had broken off the negotia tions, and embarked on the 18th in the Aube corvette, taking with him, however, the funds for the payment of the instal ment due in 1843. An envoy from Hayti is, as has been al ready announced, to visit France for the purpose of renewing the negotiation with the French Government. The mandement of the Archbishop of Paris for the observ ance of Lent has just been published. It permits the eating of eggs, butter, and milk during Lent, except for the three last days of Passion week, and butcher's meat on the Sun days, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, except in Passion week. Persons who wish to eat meat every day may do so by distributing alms, to be employed towards the purchase of the old convent of the Carmelites, and for the relief of the poor. The King of Saxony, on the sth inst., issued an ordon nance which so far relaxes the restrictions on the press as to decree that henceforth all pamphlets, and other publications exceeding twenty sheets of letter-press, shall be exempt from the censorship. A letter from Vienna, Feb. 15, says :—" Our railroads have been impassable for three days, on account:of the enor mous quantities of snow that have fallen. To-morrow the lines will be again open." A letter from Constantinople, Jan. 31, in the Journal de Francfort, contains the following paragraph :—" It will be remembered that some months back the trial of a Turk took place for offensive expressions against the Prophet. The affair took place precisely at the moment when France and the other Powers presented their notes to the Divan, to pro test energetically against the execution of the unfortunate Ovaghun. It was already . reported that the impiety of the Turk was about to be punished with death, conformably to the text of the law, but the profound impression made by the note of the Minister of France caused the sentence of death to be revoked. M. de Bourqueney, blinded by false hopes, was proclaiming his pretended triumphs everywhere, but all was deception. In a fortnight after the Greek of BilecTk was executed, and now we learn that the Turk of Salonica has been decapitated." The Union des Provinces states that the cold weather in France is not to be compared to the severe frost which has been experienced in Germany and. Switzerland, as will appear from the following facts :—" At Konigsberg snow fell in such quantities that wolves entered the town in the noon-day. At Nuremberg the snow was nine feet in depth. In the Grisons in Switzerland the glass stood at 23 degrees of Reaumur (51 Fahrenheit) below freezing point, and sub sequently there came a fall of snow, which completely covered the hills and valleys. During several days a snow storm prevailed, which caused much injury. Five persons perished of cold and fatigue in crossing Mount Albula, and several others had their limbs frozen. Five:men and thirteen head of oxen perished in an avalanche which fell from a mountain to the east of Niederwald." COURT-r4I.SHIONA.BLE. Lord and Lady Brougham have caused invitations to be sent out for a grand dinner on Saturday next. The Duke of Wellington, Earl and Countess of Jersey, Sir Robert and Lady Peel, &c., are among those invited. Lord Plunket will entertain a select party to dinner on Wednesday, at his Lordship's new residence in Eccleston square, Belgrave-road. Lord Claud Hamilton, M.P., left Argyll House, on Satur day, for Barnes Court, the seat of the Marquis of Abercorn, in the county Tyrone. His Lordship purposes to remain in Ireland till after the Eastern recess. Lady Lyndhurst and Hon. Miss Coplephave returned to town from visiting the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort at Badminton. The Duke of Norfolk arrived in town on Friday, from Arundel Castle, Sussex. The Dowager Countess of Clonmel and Ladies Caroline and Augusta Scott, Hon. Miss Morison, Mr. Ewing, and a select party, have been visiting the Earl and Countess of Warwick during the last week at Warwick Castle. The Earl and Countess of Morley have returned to Sal tram Castle, Devon, from town, and it is the intention of the Noble Earl and Countess to stay there until Easter. Earl Fortescue, who, on leaving town for Devon, proceeded to Powderham Castle to meet the Countess, has arrived at , Castle Hill. MISCELLANEOUS. A meeting of the ; Committeef7r ereesing the 'Wellington City statue, took place at the Mansion-house, on Thursday afternoon ; present, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen Lucas, Sir Claudius Hunter, Sir Peter Laurie, Sir James Duke, J. Johnson, Dr. Croly, Mr. Rainbow (honorary secretary) and several other members. A letter from Mr. Trevillian, of the Treasury, was read, in which their Lordships sanctioned the appropriation of the surplus metal of guns placed at the dis posal of Sir Francis Chantrey, to execute this statue, one moiety in the Nelson column, in Trafalgar-square, and the other to the great Wellington statue now casting by Mr. Wyatt for the west end of the metropolis. A motion was made, and carried unanimously, that a letter should be written to the executors of Sir F. Chantrey, requesting them to have the statue ready for inauguration on the 18th of June next, the anniversary of Waterloo. An Anti-League meeting is to take place at Aberdeen on the Ist of March, in compliance with a requisition addressed to the Earl of Erroll, the Lord Lieutenant of the county, and signed by landowners and farmers of Aberdeenshire, includ ing the hu.nes - of - the Lord James Hay, Lord Forbes, Robert Grant, Esq., of Tilly four, Convenor of Aberdeenshire, and Sir Charles Bannerman ► Bart. All our fairs and markets, says a Dublin correspondent, exhibit a decided tendency to advance. In consequence of the increased demand from England, there was a considerable rise in the price of cattle at Smithfield market on Thursday. In this northern county incendiarism has appeared. On Sa turday night three large stacks of corn were consumed in the haggard of -the Rev. Mr. Atwell, Rector of Clonoe. The sale of the first portion of Bank-buildings, which was commenced on Monday by Mr. Pullen, the auctioneer, and concluded the following day, has realised about 1,3001., the property disposed of included the spacious banking house and residence of Messrs. Ladbroke and Co., and three other houses, The total number of cattle, sheep, and pigs imported last year, under the new tariff, amount only to 2,099, while during the preceding year it was 5,316. The mortal remains of the late Viscount Glentworth were removed for temporary interment to the cemetery in the Harrow-road on Thursday last, it having been found that the necessary arrangements in the Pery Chapel, in the Cathedral at Limerick, could not be completed within the required time. His Royal Highness Prince Albert has given directions to Mr. Francis, the sculptor, for a statue to the memory of his father, the late reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha. The Commissioners of Woods and Forests have purchased for the sum of 5801. the old buildings on the south side of Holyrood House, and have appointed Mr. Donald Home their agent in Scotland, vice Mr. Roderick Mackenzie, deceased. On Friday the examinations for degrees took place at the College of Surgeons, when, of fifteen candidates, ten passed and five were rejected. AMMUCAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. We have further advices to-day from New York by a packet from that port. By her we have received dates from New York to the 3d February, being two days later than those brought to us by the Britannia steamer. The frost con tinued to be intense, so much so, that several persons who had been unfortunately benighted had perished before morn ing. New York was literally isolated—no mails had reached from the south for six days, nor from Boston and eastward for two at least. Persons could skate over to Long Island. Steam navigation was •consequently put a stop to, and the mails which were dispatched overland could not be reckoned to accomplish the journey in less than treble the usual time. At Boston the very greatest exertion had been made to enable the steamer Britannia to leave the harbour; 400 men were employed to cut the canal through the ice ; they began at Fort Independence, and the first contractors gave up the work in despair, and several of the men retired severely frost bitten. It was, however, again undertaken with more vigour and success. The latest accounts from New Orleans announce the death of the Hon. Alexander Porter, senator of the State of Louisiana, a man of talent and eminence. He was a native of Ireland. In the Senate, on the 30th, the debate on Mr. M'Duffie's Revenue Bill was not progressed with. Mr. Evans expressed a willingness to go on with the debate, but there was a very general desire expressed among senators to go into Execu tive Session, and the matter was postponed till tha following day; not, , •;2.-..,;;vet-, U., .e Mr. M'lluffie had given notice that he would change the character of the Bill, so as to ac commodate it to the views of those gentlemen who denied the right of jurisdiction in it present form. He would modify it as to make it a Bill to repeal the existing Wit/ . law. This modification, it is understood, will open the ~hole subject of the tariff and the finances of the country :a dis cussion. The Washington Correspondent of the Courier and En quirer remarks, that " The last speech of Mr. M'',uffie, the closing part of which I did not hear, presents I,ew matter for grave and serious consideration. The langulge used by him should be placed before every man, so th,:t the whole people can judge of the tone of feeling which obtains with that class of politicians of which Mr. M'llutfie is the repre sentative, and also that the aims and objects of these men may be rightly understood. • You will see by r-ft , rence to the speech as reported, that Mr. M'lluft., , . proposes, a dissolution of the union, and a creation of . confede racies; one in the south-west, embracirr States ; one in the north-west, embrac=e,, ;ae grai t ,-grcwi ng States; and one in the nortit-east, r,„orakng the manufac turing States.' in this classif..,ation be does not regard agricultural or manufactuTi! !6 - labour as productive industry —a distinction which ..von his philosophy must teach him to be absurd." _ CANADA.—Mr. Buchanan, of Niagara, lately her Britannic Majesty's Consul at New York, has addressed a letter to his countrymen at work on the Welland Canal, imposing to meet five married and five single men, as delegates from the Cork men, at ten o'clock on the 18th inst., at Port Robinson, and an equal number as delegates from the Onslaught men at Thorold, at two o'clock, with a view to endeavour to recon cile the divisions between two factions.—Montreal Herald.

NOVEL REwARD.—Mr. James Pollard lost, on Monday last, two half-sovereigns, which, on inquiry, he had reason to belie' 'e had been found by a certain person in the town. In order to gain his lost treasure, he engaged the crier to announce the following notice :—" Lost, this morn ing, near the Town Mall, two half-sovereigns. Any person having found the same, and will bring it to the crier, shall receive one pound five shillings reward. The same, in pro portion, will be paid to any per s o n w h o has f ou nd one of the half-sovereigns.'
