SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM TEE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—" Pitt's Friends"—for that is the original title from which is derived the Apostolic succession of orthodox Conservative Ministerialism—Pitt's Friends, since Pitt's death, have described the whole circle of opinions with regard to Irish Roman Catholicism, and now appear just arriving at the very point from which their leader first was prevented from starting. It seldom, however, happens that nearly a half cen tury can elapse—the intermediate space having (by Pitt's Friends) been filled with the bitterest contro versy)—and that the same course can be smoothly re entered, which might have smoothly been taken at first. When Pitt went out in 1801, because George the Th ird (the royal ear having secretly been pre-occupied by some lay and some clerical alarmists) refused his sanction to the Roman Catholic measures he laid before him, as the implied promises, and essential comple ments of the union with Ireland—no political Pro testant party existed amongst English politicians. That was an Irish growth ; and even such a champion of things established as Burke had become latterly, was to the last adverse to the political Protestant pretexts of the Irish local oligarchy. George the Third had the equivocal honour of creating out of nothing (at least, out of political nonentities) a party which assumed Pro testantism as its watchword)—and such'became the party of" Pitt's Friends." It is curious and amusing to read, in the Diary of Lord Malm s b ur y, th e express i ons o f indig nation of that " Pitt's Friend," when Pitt first re nignedjand to contrast that indignation at the closet-ear wiggings which alarmed the royal mind, with his own . subsequent eagern ess t o renew p rec i se l y t h e same sytem of intrigue, and work on precisly the same royal weakness xi 1807. The only difference was, that Pitt was in trigued out of office in 1801—and with him " Pitt's Friends;" whereas, in 1807, the point was to intrigue out of office the surviving members of the Fox and Gren ville Ministry—whereby " Pitt's Friends" would return to power. Apostolic succession is everything to political 'Protestantism. This doctrine sufficiently vindicates the nine party, in all its changing phases. For the point is not mere notional consistency—mere matter of opinion. The point is, whose opinions have the stamp of official orthodoxy—who can trace the unbroken links of succession from Pitt. And of course these are " Pitt's Friends." While there was a " good old King," who fancied his crown in question, " Pitt's Friends" stood by him with devoted loyalty—loyalty devoted to places and pensions, which Percevals, Westmorelands, Vansittarts, could scarcely havemerited otherwise. When an elderly Monarch succeeded, not so good, and not quite 50 obstinate, the junior partners of " Pitt's Friends" saw the expediency of forcing his hand a little. Times have gone on, still changing ; and " Pitt's Friends" have gone on, changing likewise. They have changed everything—except their claim to apostolic succession and Conservative orthodoxy. A doubt may intrude on minds not thoroughly imbued with political reli gion, whether the course of this party, since the commencement of this century, has not been rather selfish and mischievous, as regards Irish Roman Catholicism. Whether politicians are quite at liberty to take God's name in vain, whenever atrectation of the highest motives can compass the lowest objects. And finally, whether diving into John Bull's pockets for the endowment of a faith* which John Bull thinks (justly in our mind) deeply tinged with superstitions —is the amende most decent and effectual to the holders of that faith for all the injustice which the personal in terests of " Pitt's Friends" inflicted on them civilly and politically. STANDARD.—" We ought not to halloo before we are out of the wood," says the proverb ; but keeping the sage maxim still in view, we must at present anticipate a short, as the Ministers hitherto have had an easy, session of Parliament. The circumstances that ren dered necessary an early consideration of financial questions, concurring with an unusually early Easter, have caused an anticipation of what has hitherto been not merely the dead weight of the Parlia mentary year's work, but also the means of inviting a multitude of other tedious discussions. In fact, looking back to former years, we find nearly the first half of every session consumed in debates upon the most trumpery questions, apparently because the House of Commons had nothing useful to do, and it must do something. Another cause of the probable dispatch of business in the present session is the universal consci ousness that the eirambe recocta of anti-corn-law speeches, and the like, will no longer go down. The country is sick of such stuff, and moreover the country is prosperous and contented. The more prudent of the Whig party are well aware of this, and therefore they prudently court an obscurity which protects thoir mea sures from a contrast with the measures of the present Government. On the side of Government, we know of no measure that it has in contemplation which is likely to meet even a slight opposition, except the plan for the Irish colleges, and the enlargement of the Maynooth grant, and to these scarcely a formidable opposition can be anticipated. It is true that some of the men (Dis senters), most active in promoting the grant of power to the Irish Roman Catholics, are now clamorous against the adoption of the only means by which that power can be diverted from implacable hostility to Protestant institutions. But the very fact that these bitter enemies of the Established Church are foremost in the cry against the enlargement of the Maynooth grant will at litißt cause Churchmen to pause, and listen to the reasons which the Minister has to offer, before condemning the measure. As to principle, the principle of that measure Ma been for fifty years recognised, by the grant of nine thousand pounds a year. And let us add, a much worse principle has been introduced more recently in the ap pointment of Roman Catholic chaplains to prisons and workhouses. The battle, therefore, cannot be fought on the ground of principle ; and upon a question of mere expediency it is vain to pretend high grounds of objection. They who think that the Irish Roman Catholic priests will be more obstinately bigotted, more bitterly hostile to England, if better educated, will do well to oppose the augmentation of the grant. They who hold the opposite opinion in both respects, to which number we confess ourselves to belong, will look with com placency upon an experiment, the worst effect of which will be, merely to throw away some money; for worse than it is the system of education among the Roman Catholic clergy cannot be ; while the accompanying establish ment of open colleges, of which the enlarged grant to Maynooth is, perhaps, a necessary auxiliary, can pro duce nothing but unmixed good. This is a subject, however, to which we must again refer. Upon a fair view of the prospects of the session, there is no reason why it may not terminate in July or even in June; and this though many useful measures of legislature be com pleted in the interval—a most useful return to ancient practice.

SUGAR.-A further increase has taken place in the demand for West India Sugar, the grocers have pur chased freely of all descriptions, paying prices fully equal to those of this day week for brown and common yellow, but 6d to is above for good and fine kinds, the efiners have operated with more freedom, - and the rates given are fully equal to those pre viously quoted. On Wednesday the private purchases amounted to 750, and on Thursday to 400 hhds and tierces; the market was closed on Friday on account of the holidays, and will remain so until to-morrow. There is still a short supply of bright yellow descriptions, but of all other sorts there is a large stock. Brown West India Sugar is worth 36s to 435, low and middling yellow 43s to 48s, good 49s to 535, and fine 54s to 58s per cwt. The arrivals have been small, whereas the deliveries having been large, the surplus in the comparative stocks is not so large as it was. The moderate rates that prevail for every description of Raw Sugar occasions an increased consumption, and there is every prospect that the quan tity that will be consumed this year will far exceed that of the previous one, REFINED.-Prices have suffered a further depression for Refined goods, but there has been a much better demand from the home trade for all descriptions ; brown lumps have been selling at 655, standard lumps 66s 6d to 675; Tittlers, ordinary 65s to 665, middling 67s to 68s, good 69s to 70s, superior 71s to 745; Hamburgh Loaves 67s to 735, double ditto 74s to 775; and %Vet Lumps 62s to 64s per cwt, these prices are 6s to 7s under those current at the highest point of the market this year. Re fined goods have become moderate in price. Bastards common selling at 32s to 345, middling 35s to 365, good 37s to 395, and fine 40s to 43s _per cwt. Pieces fine at 59s to 625, good 55s to 58s, middling 50s to 545, and low 46s to 49s per cwt. Treacle has met with little attention, and a further decline in the value has taken place, boiled from West India Molasses selling at 17s to 17s 6d, patent 17s to 18s ;6d, and Golden Syrup 19s to 22s per cwt. bonded Crushed Sugar at 31s for forward delivery. Loaves-Turkey double Refined 1 to 11 and 21 to 41bs 37s to 41s, Hamburgh 61bs 345, 9 to 101bs 33s to 33s Gd, 13 to 141bs 235, Tittlers 20 to 301bs 32s to 32s 6d, Prus sian 40 to 451bs 325, Pieces are 25s to 275, Bastard yel low 20s to 21s, brown 17s to 19s, Molasses 13s to 13s 6d, Dutch Crushed Sugar is 29s 6d for first, 28; for second sort, and Belgium 27s 6d per cwt. MAURITIUS.-Holders have shown firmness, and re frain from offering any at public sale ; by private con tract purchases to a fair extent hare been made, viz., good to fine yellow at 46s to 525, low to middling 42; to 455, and brown 32s to 41s per cwt. Public sales of 16,000 bags are, however, declared for Thursday. EAST INDIA.-Previous rates have been fully sup ported for Bengal Sugar. At public sale 7,699 bags 100 casks and 48 boxes were nearly all disposed of ; viz., fine white at 54s to 565, good 51s to 53; 6d, middling and low 48s 6d to 50s 6d, damp and washed 46s 6d to 55s 6d ; fine strong yellow Mauritius kind 50s to 525, good 47s to 495, middling 41s to 45s 6d, low 36s to 40s, damp and washed 35s to 50s 6d, fine grainy damp yellow 57s to 573 6d, inferior ditto 41s 6d to 475, good strong brown but damp 39s to 40s, low to middling 32s to 365, very low 275, and common sound 31s to 33; per cwt. 637 bags in bond were all withdrawn, the trade refusing to encourage the system of selling at short price. Madras is not much wanted. 314 bags at auction, were only partly sold at 37s to 42; for damp yellow, and 37s per cwt. for washed; but 2,870 bags in bond were withdrawn, the trade re fusing to encourage the system of selling in bond. Although the Stock of Foreign East India Sugar is large, yet the market has been sparingly supplied. Manilla has sustained the former currency. Of Java none has again been offered at auction, and the small parcels disposed of privately were at firm rates. In the value of other kinds there is no variation to notice. FOREIGN.—The demand for white llavannah is on the increase, and prices are still improving, 1,600 chests having been disposed of at 32s 6d to 34s 6d per cwt. Yellow is held with firmness, and there are several buyers at full rates; the quantity sold by private treaty has been 1,800 chests of fine yellow at 235, and 300 chests at 19s 6d to 22s for common to good quality. The rates previously established are fully supported for Brazil; the private operations are 200 chests Bahia at 18s to 19s for brown, and 22s to 24s per cwt for white. 200 hhds of Cuba Muscovado, good bright yellow at 21s 6d to 225, middling 20s Gd to 21s, low 19s to 20s, and fine brown 18s 6d per cwt.

TEA.-The deliveries are still good; the market, how ever, has a dull appearance. Hyson went at a de cline of 144 to 2d, Young Hyson, lid to 2d, Im perial and Gunpowder 14 to 2d, Pouchong d to id, but Congou and Twankay sustained the former currency. Souchong and Flowery Pekoe fetched full prices, but Hyson Skin and Caper went a little cheaper. Congou fresh and new kinds fetched 10d, rather coarse to rather strong is to Is 2d, blackish leaf Pekoe kind 2s, superior 2s 4d to 2a 8d; Souchong, fine 2s 8d to 3s 2d, but mid Is to is 244; Pouchong, low to good 44 to 9d; Caper in 10 catty boxes Is to Is Gd; Orange Pekoe, fair to fine is 54 to is 7d, Scented good to fine 3s 3d to 3s 4d ; Twankay, good is 44 ; Hyson Skin, common 9d to Ild ; Hyson, common 2s 6d, fair to good 2s 6id to 2s I ld, fine to superior 3s 8d to 3s 104 ; Young Hyson, Canton and Twankay kind, Is 9d to 2s 244, superior 2s 94 ; Imperial, Canton and Twankay kind, is 4d to 2s ld, Hyson kind 2s 7d to 2s 9d ; Gunpowder, Canton and Twankay kind, is Sd to 2s Id, Hp= kind as 3d to 3s 10d, and superior 4s to 4s 6d per lb. COFFEE.-To-day Ceylon was purchased with caution by private treaty, and 46s to 47s per cwt is the value of good ordinary. Of Manilla 600 bags have been sold at 36s to 39s per cwt. SPICES.-Cassia Lignea advanced is per cwt, and 143 chests at auction were sold-good mid good colour thin quill at 61s 6d to 62s 6d, mid 58s to 59s 6d, low mid 575, • bndls 50s to 545, mouldy 54s 6d to 555, broken 50s to 518 6d, and sea damaged 49s to 53s per cwt; the stock has further decreased. Black Pepper is held with firmness. Malabar at 2-id to 34d, Sumatra 214 to 24d and Penang 244. With Nutmegs the market is still well supplied. Penang fine bold brown at 3s 8d to 3s 9d, good 3s 6d to 3s 7d, good mid 3s 2d to 3s 3d, mid 2s 10d to 3s Id, common small 2s 8d to 2s 9d per lb.

SPIRITS.-Leeward Island Rum, is 10d to is I Id per gallon, proof strength. Demerara rather cheaper, and 28 10d to as have been scope. In Jamaica only 70 puns have ibeen sold at 3s, 5d to 3s 6d for fair quality 28 to 31 per cent. over proof. Calcutta Ruin is 9d proof strength.

THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE. The following letter appears in the Standard:— " Clamber, March 12, 1815. " Sin,--When so few are to be found who will ven ture to speak favourably of me, I ought to be, and am, particularly obliged to you for the chivalrous audacity with which you dared to print the favourable view which you are good enough to entertain of me and my doings. I very sincerely thank you for your prompt interposition and ready self-sacrifice. " It has always been my strange fatality to have my motives and actions misunderstood, and probably few men licitly-, not being public men, have been more vilified and injured than I have been. I have endured this per versity with patience and resolution, but at last I became disheartened and disgusted ; I found myself standing alone in the maintenance of opinions which I believed to be right ; everything fell away from me ; one event after another tended to depress my spirits and my energy, and to remove those inducements which stimulated me to exertion. My health, my peace of mind, my circumstances (as I am not ashamed to avow, arising from no discreditable cause), required my retirement for a season. Unseen and forgotten, you may well imagine that I was astounded at seeing The Hafod Estate' heading a division in the columns of the Standard appropriated to the report of the de bates in Parliament. I, of course, read on with deep interest, and soon perceived the old leaven and the un generous motive for introducing my name upon the scene, finally observing that the malignants professed to be perfectly satisfied with Lord Lincoln's statement, as well they might, for its plain truth deprived malignity of its power to cavil on. "Pray observe that I by no means object to the watchfulness and untiring scrutiny of Messrs. Hume, Williams, and Co. I applaud their searching inquiries, but I disapprove of a malign and prejudiced influence which urges to suppose that every transa c ti on connec t e d with me and my family must of necessity be suspicious, corrupt, and improper. " When fairly exercised, I should be exceedingly sorry to see that the vigilance of the gentlemen was in the slightest degree relaxed; it gives health and life to them, and is constitutionally wholesome for us. Such refining and scouring is a national benefit, and although I do not desire to follow the newest fashion and to over whelm these gentlemen with fulsome compliments and eloquent laudations, yet I must confess that it would be really a public misfortue if the nation were deprived of the now very necessary services of such lynx-eyed and indefatigable detectors of abuses—such unwearied cleansers of Augean stables ; only may I caution them not to fall foul of me too hastily or so readily, for I can assure them that their efforts to prove me a scoundrel will only serve to make them appear spiteful and ridiculous. " But, more than enough of this. Sir, my principal cause for addressing you is not to censure or applaud Mr. Hume, but to supply a deficiency ; because Lord Lincoln, in his natural earnestness to acquit himself of all blame or dishonesty in the transaction, appears to me to have omitted to state that I also am justly clear of all blame. I may be too sensitive, but I fancy that I perceive what may be construed by the public into a supposition that I had been requiring something which it would be improper to grant. Such was not the fact. I resisted the claims of the Crown over my property, which I conscientiously believed not to exist, and still think were unfounded—but that was all. I neither expected nor sought that favour should be shown to me. I would not, for any consideration of paltry advantage to myself, tamper with any official man, and least of all when that man was my son, whose honour, virtue, and reputation would be dearer to me than my own. Still, however, my own honour, and re putation and unquestionable integrity, are most dear to me ; and I cannot endure that, even by implication, I should be suspected by my countrymen ; and as my vin dication, save by yourself, has not been attempted in terms, I must undertake to be my own herald, and once more proclaim my innocence, my negation of dishonesty in any shape, and call upon those who would rob me of my best possession, to remember that I am the same man yesterday and to-day, and that whilst reason maintains her sway, lam not likely to change my nature. Who steals my purse steals trash; but he who filches my good name, steals from me that which not enriches him, yet leaves me poor indeed.' " I distinctly &dare, then, that Lord Lincoln has spoken the truth, the whole truth; and that, pure and clear as he is of a shadow of imputation in this transac tion, I am equally 'so;* and in fact I only most unwill ingly submitted to what, by the conditions of the origi nal purchase-contract, I was compelled to do--to effect a good and perfectly valid title to the estate, although I believed that the vendors to me had, for expediency, en gaged to yield to the Crown a right to which it was not entitled. This is my case; and if I were to write vo lumes, I could add nothing to its simple strength. "My statement, I perceive, has already run to a greater length than I intended; but whilst I am on the subject, having undertaken to be my own herald, and most anxious as I am—more anxious, possibly, than I may be given credit for—to st an d well with my coun trymen, whose good opinion I value beyond all price, I must beg to detain your attention for a few moments whilst I allude to the past, and bring you to the pre sent, that you and they may be perfectly aware of what have hitherto been my dishonest gains. " When I began life I had the fairest prospects before me. In a political point of view I possessed great power. Though in the eyes of Reformers I was re garded as an obnoxious boroughmonger, still my power and influence were indubitable. I ask, did I avail my self of my position to do wrong? Did I sell the seats for gain, or dishonestly traffic with them, either privately or politically ? Did I ever act un • constitutionally as regarded them, or as con cerned the State? I aver that, to my knowledge, I never did, nor do I conceive it to be possible that I could, as stack proceedings would have been utterly re pugnant to my feelings and principles. My boroughs, then, on the one hand, were not productive of profit, whilst on the other they entailed prodigious losses and sacrifices, by feeding the interest, by contests, petitions, and, finally, by their Parliamentary confiscation, when I was robbed, without compensation, of a valuable consi deration, probably not short of 200,0001. " It is true, honorary and honourable distinctions had been conferred upon me when a very young man. From the excellent and revered George 111. I received the Lieutenancy of the county and the Rangership of Sher wood Forest, neither of these offices yielding one six pence of emolument. These appointments I solicited of the King himself, and they were bestowed without hesi tation, and with that paternal benignity which, from my earliest youth, I invariably experienced from his Majesty. I entered upon the lieutenancy in times of considerable difficulty and much anxiety. I exerted myself to the ut most, and I hope not unsuccessfully, through many anxious years, when at length tranquillity was restored. I spared neither my person nor my purse: it was my duty so to do, and I rendered it with alacrity and diligence; perhaps I may have fairly earned an expression of thanks from the proper quarter; it would have amply rewarded me, but it was forgotten. Having had the honour of serving four sovereigns, I may be permitted to remark that the per contra in pounds, shillings, and pence, was the payment for the patents on every occa sion. No great profit here. " The garter I never would ask for, though frequently invited to solicit the honour; when offered to me I de clined, it and suggested that it should be given to the Duke of 'Wellington, as I had no claim to distinction. I was commanded to accept it, and was invested. The honour is great, and I hope that I am not insensible of its value'; but as my present object is to show that I cannot be charged with dishonest gain, I may be per mitted to mention that the fees are on a scale commen curate with the honour. " As none of these distinctions confer emolument or patronage, it will be seen, that with the single exception of pay when on duty with the Yeomanry corps which I commanded, I have never drawn to the amount of one penny from the public purse, nor have I as yet obtained for my family any situation or emolument, though I ho nestly avow that I would not preclude myself from the right of fair and legitimate solicitation, if in favour of a proper and competent member of it. " It will be seen, then, that the public has no great cause to complain of my grasping, or dishonest gains. It may not h ave approve d o f my acts, or of my opinions; the Ministers of the day may have been of the same mind ; but at least it will be admitted that I have acted from a pure and conscientious conviction, and with an utter disregard of selfish consequences. "So in all measures of which I highly disapproved, whether Roman Catholic emancipation, reform, eccle siastical commissions, old corporations, Irish policy, corn-laws, free-trade, with many others, and more re cently the income-tax and tariff. Canada corn, and na tional education, &c., in which I may not have had the good fortune to concur with the Minister of the day—on all occasions I have not scrupled to disagree and oppose, whether as a candid friend or a candid enemy—nor can I do Lay duty and abstain from dissent, when I see such Bills as the Jows' Disabilities Bill introduced into a Christian Parliament, and look forward to the promised measures which are to give a heavy blow and great dis couragement to the Protestant Church, whilst Popery is to be elevated and encouraged, and enemies to our faith, heretics, sceptics, or infidels, are to legislate for that Church which they abhor: such measures demand the stern opposition of every Christian, and every con scientious Protestant, who must too plainly and fear fully perceive how small is the consideration or care for the Establishment, but how great for her deadliest foes. Thus, when I have differed I have never done so from waywardness or faction, but as a painful performance of a duty—from an inward persuasion that though interest and ease forbade it, principle and conviction dictated and required it. These have been, and I trust will ever con tinue to be, my motives, my incehtives, and my guides ; and although I will net pretend to assert that I have been right, I can safely declare that I believed myself not to have been wrong. m a ny, perhaps, may remark—More fool he for his pains ; why does he not follow the ways of the world ? I can only reply, that such ways ar e no t my ways, and that I could derive no satisfact ion f rom exchanging principle for expediency. So, like a wounded deer, I am discountenanced by the whole herd. My present position seems to be this. Though a determined upholder of the Church of England and of the State—of Protestantism and of Protestant ascendancy —an undisguised Conservative of the ancient and once admired British Constitution and the institutions of our country—l am disclaimed by those who lam compelled to think should be what I am. The post which I held for many years as the Sovereign's lieutenant in this county, my sovereign was advised to deprive me of, and I was unceremoniously discarded, merely because I dis dainfully resented the molestations of one of her Ma jesty's high officers—and this after having served four sovereigns loyally, faithfully, zealously, and, I hope, efficiently. " You and others may think that I have written bit- * " It should be borne in mind that Lord Lincoln, though the chief, is not the only commissioner. He and two other gentlemen form the Board of Woods," &c. NEW PROJECTED RAILWAYS (From the Gazette of last Evening.) RAILWAY DEPARTMENT, BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, Dawn 25,1845.

The Commission for the county of Surrey was opened on Monday, and this morning both Courts sat for the dispatch of business, Lord Chief 'Justice Penman pre siding on the civil side, and Mr. Baron Alderson in the Crown court. Although there was a good delivery at the sessions last week, there are thirty-five prisoners for trial at these assizes. On the civil side fifty-nine causes are entered, and six of them are to be tried by special juries. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Davy Tanner, alias William Stenip, 26, James Haines, 23, Thomas Longley, 22, Matthew Bill, 43, and Thomas Adams, 28, were indicted for a misdemeanor, in being unlawfully upon certain lands in the occupation of John Sparkes, at Wonersh, in the night time, armed with guns, and other offensive weapons, in pursuit of game. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Robinson with Mr. Charnock, defended all the prisoners, except Tanner, who had no counsel. It appeared from the evidence of a man named Hoar, who is in the service of Mr. Sparkes, the prosecutor, that on the night of the 17th December he heard the sound of fire-arms in a wood at Wonersh, called Jay's Copse, and while he was going in the direction from whence the firing appeared to proceed, he heard the re ports of two guns, and at the same moment there was a rush made in the wood, and he saw five men come out into a field, two of them being armed with guns. He followed them for some distance, and at length went close to the men, and he then discovered that they were the prisoners, all of whom were inhabitants of the neighbourhood, and with whose persons he was well ac quainted. Upon the Copse being examined on the fol lowing morning, a quantity of pheasant's feathers and some fresh blood were foiled upon the ground. The jury found the prisoners guilty, but recommended them to mercy on the ground that they had not used any violence towards the keeper. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said that this was always a circumstance favourable to the accused in cases of this description ; but such offences were of so dangerous a character, and so frequently led to the shedding of blood, that it was impossible to pass them over without such punishment being inflicted as would be likely to deter others from their commission. He then sentenced Langley, Tanner, Haines, and Hill, who have already been in gaol for three months, to be kept to hard labour for a further period of six months; and Adams, who had been out on bail, was sentenced to nine months' hard labour. CIVIL SIDE. The Lord Chief Justice disposed of several Common Jury Causes, none of which were of any interest to the public. Liverpool, March 24. The Commission for this division of the county was opened to-day by Mr. Justice*Coltman. Samuel Brown, 22, was indicted for having, on the Bth November last, stabbed Lancelot Read, on the high seas, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. The prisoner was a seaman on board the Sir Charles Napier, from St. Anne's to Liverpool, and in the course of the voyage quarrelled with the prosecutor, the captain, and, drawing a knife, stabbed him in the region of the abdomen. The captain fell, and was carried into the cabin, where one of the parties on board attempted to replace the entrails which had protruded, but being unsuccessful in the attempt, the party made the wound still larger, and then succeeded in effecting his object. The prosecutor was ill ten days at sea, and five weeks after the arrival of the Sir Charles Napier at Liverpool. The prisoner in his defence alleged that the captain had first knocked him down. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK. CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—John Sall; a furrier, living in Webber-street, Waterloo-road, was brought before Mr. Traill, charged with exercising great cruelty to a horse. Police-sergeant 19 M, said, that about one o'clock this morning he saw the prisoner driving a horse and cart in the Kent.road, with upwards of ten persons in the latter. He was beating the horse in a cruel manner, with the butt-end of a large whip. The load was so heavy that it was impossible for the animal to draw the cart. He was compelled to take the prisoner into cus tody, owing to his repeating his cruel treatment to the horse. The prisoner said that after the omnibuses had left off running from Greenwich Fair, he took up a few passengers, and was driving them towards the Elephant and Castle at an easy rate, when the officer stopped the horse. He was compelled to use the whip to make the animal go on again. ➢lr. TRAILL said it was quite clear that he had ill used the animal in a cruel manner; he should therefore fine him 20s. for that offence. He directed Inspector Frond to give information to the Excise respecting his plying for hire without a licence, as he deserved to be punished. REVELATIONS OF SPAIN IN 1845.—This work is calculated to excite extraordinary attention. As a picture of the actual state of Spain, and as a collection of facts relating to persons and events which form the theme of daily conversation in society, it is intensely in teresting. Espartero, Narvaez, Olozaga, Isabella, Chris tina, are brought upon the scene with all the freedom of history, their characters delineated, their actions examined, their motives scrutinised, and their policy de veloped. There is also much valuable information upon the subject of parties, the Camarillas, party leaders, the Spanish army, the Church, the secular clergy, agricul ture, colonies, wine, commerce, and national manners. We cannot too strongly recommend the work to the notice of the reader.—John Bull INSURANCE COMPANIES.

NORTHAMPTON AND PYTCHLEY HUNT RACES.—YESTERDAY. O❑ our arrival at this sporting locality yesterday morning, we were gratified to find that the promised alterations in and on the race-course had been carried out to an extent, and with a completeness, highly to the credit of the inhabitants and their representatives, the Stewards, and Race Committee. The running ground has been widened twenty feet, and the turns, formerly so awkward, if not positively dangerous, so greatly im proved, as to leave 110 possible cause of complaint. Trainers and jockeys are alike loud in their commenda tions. The improvements have not been confined to the course : at an outlay of 1,600 L, a sightly and commo dious edifice, within a spacious enclosure, has taken the place of the ricketty affair that so long passed muster as a Graad Stand, to the disgrace of the county and the discomfort—if not to the peril—of those who, from lack of a better, were constrained to patronise it. The new building is capable of holding near 1,500 persons, affords a most excellent view of the races, and abounds with conveniences, as well for the visitors as for those professionally engaged. In all other departments of the management, a spirit has developed itself that has propitiated many influential residents who had pre viously been lukewarm in their support, and cannot fail to give the Northampton a place amongst the best of our provincial meetings. ~The races, which are wisely limited to two days, commenced yesterday, with favour able weather, a full and fashionable company, and a bill of fare satisfactory alike in amount and variety. With a punctuality that bespoke a determination to adopt one of the many improvements effected under the Bentinck system, the bell rang at a quarter before the time fixed for starting, and at one o'clock exactly the horses quitted the post for The Trial Stakes, of 10 sous each, with 40 added.
