Does MALAGROWTBER'S spirit still walk the earth, and meet him at the witching hour, as he dis mounts from his carriage at the portal of his house in Whitehall-gardens? Is it that he dreads the contagious example of a " league" of the Scottish bankers, or the great mercantile and trading community of England, who are so turbulently averse to being any longer taxed to the teeth by: his high currency tariff? Is he at last awaking to the bitter remonstrances of that immense section of the people, our industrial classes, whomihis monetary tamperings have mulcted on the one hand of from thirty to forty per cent. of their just wages, and burdened with from sixteen to seventeen millions of in direct taxation which it was the purpose and desire of the Legislature that imposed it to raise from the wealthier consumer, not the needy artisan-producer, or famishing husbandry labourer ? Better late than never, even if all this be so ! If Sir R. PEEL be disposed to listen, even at this twelfth hour, to the voice of reason and the counsels of experience, and the protests of practical intelligence and knowledge as to the baneful operation of that scheme with which he has contrived to work so vast an amount of mischief and misery to England, if it should ever be extended to Ireland, and especially to Scotland ; we can compound with him for the offences he has persisted in during all the other eleven hours. But how is this ? Is there really " other business and more important" to engross his attention ? Has ha brought himself to speak slightingly of the prior and paramount claims of the currency upon all his facul ties and invention ? Why—this N% as the first love of his public life ; the primal passion of his senatorial ad)- lescence ; and now be turns round upon her (the same, but no longer the darling, currency of his earlier career), and snubs her with no more compunction than if she were a mere Conservative agriculturist—a country pro tectionist—a discarded bore of a county supporter, haunting him behind the Treasury Bench and at the Carlton Club, in the unchanging consistency of a blue coat, yellow buttons, and leather unmentionables. Does he mean to " cut " currency ? If he do not, we predict that ere long currency will cut him. The connexion be tween them cannot be maintained on the gold standard footing upon which alone he is pledged to maintain it one year after the friendly relations of Great Britain with any of the more important foreign Powers shall have been disrupted. Let him in good time, then, cancel the " deed 2f settlement" he has executed, and prepare another, more prudent and equitable, in its stead. Mr. HOME pressed still further the " delicate inquiry" of Mr. ROUVERIE, by hinting that it might be desirable for the Right Hon. Baronet to mention the nature of the measure he contemplated. Mr. ELLICE urged that it was extremely desirable that the Scottish people should be apprised, without loss of time, what the Government really meant to do, in a matter which all Scotland felt so profoundly interested in leaving un disturbed in its present condition. But Sir ROBERT was dumb. Another question was called, and thus he broke from his persecutors. Can the fact be, that he is con vinced of the fallacy of his golden balance scale of 1819, and would gladly rectify it, but that not to extend its mischievous application to Scotland and Ireland would be to have invidiously and exclusively prejudiced Eng land by his act ? If this be the dilemma in which he finds himself, there is an easy mode of extricating him self from it, and the more easy, because it is also the only one he could adopt for such a purpose. Let him, himself, propose the repeal of his Bill of 1819, and its complement of the other day as to England and Wales, and discharge his notice of motion for leave to bring in any similar measure at all for Scotland or Ireland. He would find his hands strengthened, and his position con firmed by such a proceeding. It will be seen from what occurred in the House on Tuesday, that Sir ROBERT PEEL has at last spoken on the subject, and that he will give an answer in the course of a month. Will be repeated a New Drama, called MARGARBT CATCH POLB. Supporten by Messrs. H. Hughes, Hicks, Fredericks, R. 'former, S. Cowell, Ileslop, Lewis, Mrs. Daly, Mrs. Lewis, and Mrs. It, Helmer.

They have a re gular colonial form of government, five counties being repre sented by thirteen Members. The Legislature had just closed a session of eight days, during which twenty-five Bills were passed. Dr. White, though not a Member, by paying 10 dollars, purchased the privilege of speaking upon one of them, proposing to abolish the manufacture, introduction, or sale of ardent spirits into the territory. It passed unanimously and became a law. Everything is prosperous; the crops are good, and Dr. White expresses the belief that the region on the Willamette is one of the most healthy, delightful, and pro mising regions on the globe." The Canadian intelligence by this arrival is unimportant The Houses of Legislature had presented addresses of congra tulation to the Governor-General upon his elevation to the Peerage. The Mexican advices, Vera Cruz, to the Ist ult., state that everything was quiet. Santa Anna was still a prisoner in the Castle of Perote, and the general opinion was that he would neither be put to death nor banished, but would be imprisoned for the remain der of his life. Generals Bassedre and Canalizo, Santa Anna's principal minions, had been removed to the fortress of Cha pultepec. The Texas question was still agitated in many of the Mexican papers, the editors appearing to oppose the right of the United States to annex that country as strongly as ever. COMMERCIAL. The week has closed with some improvement in business, and with more favourable appearances. The season for tea has opened; two cargoes have been brought forward this week at auction, and the market has been fairly tried. The result has been a decided improvement in prices over the closing transactions of last week. Cotton seems to have had a reaction. The receipts in the early part of the week were so large that many of the holders preferred selling from the vessel, and the consequence was that prices fell off a little. The market, however, has since rallied, and is again arm, and prices have gone up to the old mark. There has been quite a movement in sugar and molasses; the crops in Cuba have proved so deficient that operators here have turned their attention to New Orleans. The con sequence is, that speculation has been at work this week in both sugars and molasses, and several thousand hogsheads have changed hands. There has been a decline in sterling bills of full half per cent. Bills on London are doll at 109% to 109%. This is the first indication we have seen for many months of a fa vourable symptom in the rate of our Exchanges. For more than six months it has been quite as profitable to ship specie as to remit bills, and consequently our money market has been kept in a sensitive state. Bills on London, 60 d.s stlg., 109% to 110 per cent. ; bills on Paris 5 25 ; bills on Amsterdam, 40 to 40% ; bills on Hamburgh, mare banco, 35% to 35%; bills on Bremen, rix dollars, 79% to 79%. The spring season has opened so early this year, that our fine steam-boats have already commenced running, and at a very reduced rate of fare. The Stock Market closes with little animation this week at the reduced quotations in the report of sales. The causes which have led to this change from last week are chiefly the agitation of the Texas affair, in relation to which there is still so much uncertainty. As usual in this market, fancy stocks have been the ohief sufferers, while sound steaks have been comparatively unchanged. In sound stocks for the past week there has been no decline of any account, nor could any amount of sound stocks be bought at any reduction on the full prices of the past year. In fancy stocks another state of things is seen, and a reduction of prices is daily acceded to, amounting in the past week to 1 1 % to 6% per cent. on the list of active fancy stocks. Illinois 6's have fallen 1% in the face of the favourable action of their Legislature ; Stonington, 1 3 ! ; Morris Canal, 2 ; Farmers' Loan, 2%; Long Island, 3%; Norwich and Worcester, 4 1 4 ; and Canton, 6%; other fancies have receded, but this list comprises all the most ac tive fancies.

IMPROVEMENTS IN HYDE PARK.—During the last fortnight, upwards of one hundred and fifty labourers have been daily employed by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, levelling the various parts of the grass, new gravelling the numerous foot-paths, and making very considerable im ovements throughout the whole of Hyde Park. INCREASE OF SPEED ON THE SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY.—It is , the intention of the Directors of the Southampton Railway that the speed of the mail trains on their line shall be increased, and a plan has been projected by which the distance between London and Southampton will be accomplished in two hours, instead of two hours and forty minutes, the time now occupied in the journey. It is expected that the alteration will take place in about thre( weeks. ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICH, APRIL B.—Cap tain Bent's company, Ist battalion, and Captain Collington's company, 9th battalion, embarked at the dockyard here on Thursday morning, in one of her Majesty's steamers, for con veyance to Chatham, where they are to embark in the Apollo troop ship, recently commissioned at that port, for a passage to Canada. The health of the troops of this branch of the service has been remarkably good during the past season, as only one sergeant and one drummer go out with the com panies to fill up the deficiencies in Captain Synion's com pany, caused by the promotion of a colour sergeant to be sergeant-major and return to head-quarters, and the drum mer by entering the ranks. An accident happened this morning by the breaking of a perch of one of the ammunition waggons of the field batteries when at exercise, the waggon having thrown down the three gunners and drivers riding upon it, and fallen upon the breast and face of one of them named Robert Arthur. The wounded man was immediately conveyed to the Ordnance Hospital, and promptly attended to by Dr. Stewart, who was in waiting to receive him on hearing of the accident. The two other gunners fortunately escaped with slight injury. BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE.—The fourth monthly dinner of the members of the Institute was given at their rooms, on Thursday last. The Earl of Devon, the President, filled the chair, and was supported by Lord Brougham, Sir George Staunton, Bart., M.P., Sir George Larpent, Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Mr. Vizard, Mr. Teed, Mr. Waymouth, Mr. Cochrane, and others of the Vice- Presidents and Committee. There were about eighty members and visitors at the table, which was admirably served, and the dinner and wines fully sustained the reputa tion of Mr. Neal, the proprietor and conductor of the hotel attached to the Institute. Several excellent speeches were delivered by the President and others. and the pleasure of the evening was much increased by some delightful vocal and instrumental music, including glees, duets, rounds, &c., in which Mr. T. Cooke, Mr. Francis, Mr. Machin, Mr. G-at tan Cooke, Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Miihlenfelt, and Mr. Kreutzer took parts. It was originally determined that the christening of the infant daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Buc cleuch should have been performed on Thursday last, when. in accordance with the express wish of the Queen, the bap tismal ceremony was to have oven performed in the Royal Chapel at Buckingham Palace, and her Majesty was to have stood sponsor in person. There was to have been a grand dinner at Montagu House in the evening, at which the Queen and Prince Consort were to have been present. Owing, however, to the lamented family afflictions sustained by the Earl and Countess of Harewood, by the death of the Hon. Algernon and the Hon. Alfred Lascelles, from typhus fever the nephews of the Duchess of Buccleuch, the interesting cere mony has been postponed.—Herald. The death of the Dowager Viscountess Chetwynd took place on Monday morning, at the family residence in Upper Brook-street. The deceased Viscountess, who was youngest daughter of the late Mr. Thomas Cartwright, was married on the 30th July, 1791, to Richard Viscount Chet wynd. Her Ladyship was in her 73d year. DISCOVERY OP ANCIENT REINS. —Theaday, Whi'e some workmen where employed in excavating the street near the corner of Drury-lane and Long- acre, for the pur pose of making a sewer, they discovered, at the depth of nearly fourteen feet, a portion of the foundation of an ancient building, of great thickness, which required the use of powder to break it up. It ran in the direction from north to south, and is supposed to be some part of the foundation of the old convent which formerly stood near the present Drury-lane and Covent-garden Theatres. The foundation is composed of red brick, concrete, and flint stones. o N t fo ' s oury s r i s g I r Ta gracious her i rr of o lai is I t sl a fo E uvl L e A l e N ni ID. — and subjects,d b h e e i being the l t u h s determination E t ma rine palace is to be built between D alke y and Killiney, in the midst of that enchanting scenery, where the T O, al Family will reside every summer.—/:lot.

The distance was one mile. After two or three false starts, they at last went to work in earnest, Lees getting the lead at the commencement, which he kept for some time; but at length Brady made a desperate effort to get ahead, and by the greatest exertion succeeded in passing his antagonist, main taining his advantage, and ultimately coming in a winner. At the commencement of the race 10 to I were offered upon Lees. It is said another race will take place in a fortnight between the parties. ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—The porticos of the western entrance of this splendid cathedral are about to un dergo a thorough cleansing and scraping, with a view to removing the incrustation that has settled on the stone work, arising from smoke and dirt. On Tuesday the scaffoldirg under the lower portico was erected, and the workmen com menced their operations it has not, however, yet been de termined whether the whole of the western front, as also the other outer portions of the building, will be scraped and cleaned, the lower part being tried first before any determi nation is come to by way of experiment, it not being accu rately known whether the state of the stone-work will permit its being done; if, however, the experiment is successful, the whole of the western, which forms the principal entrance to the cathedral, and the elegant design of which has been universally admired, consisting of twelve lofty Corinthian columns below, and eight of the Composite order above, sur mounted by a handsome pediment, on the tympanum o which the Conversion of St. Paul is represented in basso re lievo, but owing to the accumulation of dirt and smoke, at the present time scarcely discernible, and in the apex of which is a colossal figure of that apostle, and on other par of the building those of St. Voter, St. Jame I Evangelists, will undergo the same operation. BRECON.---THE CONVICT THOMAS.—On Monday se'nnight the warrant for the execution of this wretched man was received by the High Sheriff, from the proper authori ties, and his execution is definitively fixed for Thursday, the 10th instant. He is intent in earnest preparation for the doom that awaits him. He often speaks aloud to himself, but only of himself. "To die, to die so young, and such a death," are phrases frequently in his mouth. Thomas has made a full confession, which, it is understood, contains a full and explicit avowal of the murder of the poor carrier, Lewis, and precisely in the manner so singularly detailed, and sup ported by the evidence at the trial. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, EIGHT O'CLOCK.—The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Teviot, Captain Allan. arrived this morning at seven o'clock, from the West I , dies and Mexico, bringing the usual mails and 2S passengers. Her dates of departure are-- From Tampico, February 24 ; Vera Cruz, Marc h 3 ; llavannah, 12th ; Nassau, 14th ; and Bermuda, 23d. The Teviot brings home the following freight :- 1,557.017 dollars, only 15,000 of which are on account of the Mexican dividends ; a very large shipment may how ever, be expected by the next packet ; 78 l oz. specie ; 78 doubloons; 21i oz. gold dust ; 40 seroas cochineal; 16 bales Jalapa; and about 30 fine turtle on consignment. Ja maica papers brought by this vessel contain no news of any particular interest. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.— On Tuesday at an inquest held before Mr. Carter, the Coroner, one of the witnesses strongly objected to view the body. The Coroner urged very strongly that she must do so, or her evidence could not be received, as she might, in fact, be deceived as to the !dentit3 of the body. The witness ha v i n g g one for th i s p ur p ose, the Coroner stated to the jury the following extra ordinary case which came before his father whilst he held the office. - His father held an inquest in the parish of Christ church, Blackfriars. on the body of a woman who had ben taken out of the river, it being supposed she had committed suicide. The mother and fattier sw .re positively that the deceased was their daughter. The master in whose service she had been was also equally positive as to her being the individual. The inquest was about to close, when one of Barclay's draymen passing by the house, and s ee i ng a crowd rounu the door, asked what it was about ? Th e answer was, Why, have you not heard of the death of Mary —? She dead why I saw I,tr alive a lit t l e while ago," replied the drayman. The drayman went to look for the girl, and soon came back with a young woman, whom the father and mother acknowledged to be their ' daughter. The daughter thus discovered bore a striking resemblance to the deceased person, and the Jury, instead of returning a verdict as to the death of the daughter who was present before them, had the only alternative of deciding that the body upon whom the inquiry was held, was found dead in the water, and there was no evidence to show how she came there. 2.,. 3% [2 3 / 4 18 The Paris papers give a brief outline of the speeches in both Houses of Parliament on Friday, relative to the Oregon question, but generally without comment.

In one of the trials which took place on March 30, during a perfect calm, from the Little Nore to Yarmouth Roads, 80 miles, the latter beat the Alecto 23i minutes, although the Rattler, in consequence of a short supply of steam, was compelled to work the second grade of of expansion throughout the day, and the engines only 234 to 24 strokes per minute. On a rrivin g at yarmouth Roads they started again, both vessels having all sails set_ to a moderate breeze. They continued runnin g until off Cromer Light, when the Rattler in 34 m iles beat the Alecto by 13 minutes. From the bad appearanc e of the .weather it was deemed proper to anchor for th e night, during which it blew a com plete gale from the N .N.W., an d continued throughout ti day, affording the very opportunity they were sent out to seek for trying the Rattler's powers in a head sea. In getting under way, the vessel pitching heavily, snapped her cable and lost her anchor. Tins race was one of about 60 miles, and the Rattler passed the Spurm Light 40 minutes before her competitor. On one occasion the Rattler lost steam, which allowed the Alecto to get alongside of her. This was at ten o'clock A.M., and it was from that time to her anchoring that the 40 minutes were gained ; although prior to that, when the sea was roughest , the Rattler gained more than half a mile on the Alecto in the first hour, the latter having had the start of the former. The sixty miles were accom plished in seven hours and a half, tide principally against them. The very lowest p ressure exhibited " when the screw was out of the water" (as the opponents of the principle term it) was 341 b. ranging up to 601 b., on Salter's balan c e. Subsequent trials took p lace with still greater advantages to the powers of the screw ; but the most conclusive results as to its superiority were proved when the vessels being fas tened to each other , with their heads in opposite directions, the Rattler towed the Electo, in spite of all her attempts to run away astern, at the rate of two miles and a half an hour IMPROVEMENTS IN LINCOLN'S INN.--Workmen are now busily employed in forwarding tise alterations which are to take place in Lincoln's-Inn. The whole of the unoc cupied plot of ground in New-square is railed in preparatory to its being broken up and covered with grass ; the un • sightly basin in the centre of the square, which, from the uncouthness of its structure, and the stagnant water which it contained, was generally felt to be a nuisance, is already demolished, and in its place is to be erected a fine orna mental fountain. It is intended that the narrow passage on the western side shall be blocked up, and we understand it was also the intention of the authorities that the thorough. fare on the opposite aide, through Chichester-rents into Chancery-lane, should be stopped, but in consequence of the objection of the inhabitants that part of the project has been given up. The middle of the square, which is intended to be inclosed with iron railings, and round the outside of which there is to be a carriage drive, will thus be rendered a great ornament to the utighbciutoect.

Humphrey Jones, a broker's clerk, and William Bibb'' , a custom-house locker, were convicted at Liverpool, of on' epiracy to defraud the Customs revEnue. The jury reconr: mended that Bibby might receive the slightest punishme nt that the law would permit, in consideration of the onerous duties imposed on him, and the lax attention to duty whi ch had been paid by some of his superior officers in the Cu?" ‘ ", toms.
