Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from SHORT'S ironworks, Lanarkshire, praying that females might be allowed to r esume th e i r l a b our i n th e iron and stone works in Scotland. He at the same time ad verted to the Factory Bill before the other House and condemned the conduct of those parties who wished to restrict the industry of the poor. Men, he said, who would legislate so as to give twelve hours' wages for ten hours' work, did not know what they were talking about. The Bishop of EXETER moved for copies of all correspondence from the Poor-law Commissioners relative to the case of MARY MILLER, who com mitted suicide in the Penzance union. After a few remarks from Lord WIIARNCLIFEE, the motion was withdrawn, and the House adjourned. In the House of Commons, a division took place on the second reading of.the Harrowgate and Knares borough Railway. Mr. LAwsos moved the second reading, and Mr. B. DENISON opposed it in the usual form. The second reading was carried by a majority of seven. After the presentation of petitions, Mr. MACAULAY gave notice that, soon after Easter, he should submit resolutions to the House, relative to the late trans actions in Gwalior. Mr. HUME gave notice that, before the Commons InclOsure Bill went into Committee, he should move that it be read that day six months. In answer to a question from Mr. FERRAND, Sir JAMES GuattAm said he would postpone the further consideration' of the Poor-law Amendment Bill after Easter. Lord PALMERSTON, in answer to a question from Sir ROBERT PEEL, said, if he could not get prece dence on an early day after Easter for his motion on the slave-trade, he would bring it on next Thursday, the day for which it was appointed. Sir ROBERT .PEEL gave notice that, on Wednesday week, he should move that the House should adjourn for the usual period during the Easter holidays. Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved the Order of the Day for going into Committee on the Factories Bill, and, after adverting at great length to the anomalous po sition of the House of Commons on this question, and stati ng the _views of the Gover nmen t, move d that the order be postponed till Friday, for the pur pose 9.f giving the House time to consider what course it might judge advisable to pursue. He at the same time stated that the Government were determined to resist any departure from the limit of twelve hours. Lord - ASHLEY consented to the postponement. A great: number of speakers followed, and no little altercation took place in the Tory camp, Sir ROBERT INoLts demanded an explanation from Sir JAMES GRAHAM, or rather from Sir ROBERT PEEL, whether the words " Jack Cade legislation" were recognised as an expression of the sentiments of the Government. Sir ROBERT PEEL kept his seat, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM made the best apology he could. The discussion altogether was too interesting to be abridged, and we therefore refer the reader to the report. The motion was then agreed to. After some discussion as to Poor-laws in Ireland, the Muse went into Committee on the Mutiny Bill. On resuming, it forwarded several Bills a stage. Sir R. PEEL then nominated the Committee on Contro verted Elections, and at Eleven o'Clock the House adjoutned. This Factory Bill has caused a complete revolution in the House of Commons. The motion of Lord ASH4Y has come upon Ministers like an earthquake. They did not su.g>pect the fidelity of their Tory friends, nor expect the 'ussistance of their Whig opponents, who have saved, them from all but utter discomfiture. What is the more remarkable still, however, is the angry war which has sprung up in the Tory camp, and the change of principle s which the speeches of the leading Tory Members - have brought to light. Si r JAMES GRAHAM, once a Radical Reformer, the au thor of a pamplet for sponging out the national debt, and for doing a great many things which he now regards with inexpressible horror, last night denounced Lord ASHLEY, the Tory Member for Dorsetshire,, as a second JACK CADE. In adverting to the motion of the Noble . Lord he emphatically said, "I d o not t hi n k it t oo mtich to state that, on the whole, this is the commencement of a Jack CADE system of. legislation." This remark, from such a speaker, naturally called forth loud cheers froin all parts of the House, the Opposition cheering the words as coming from an ex-Radical, and the Tories re-echoing the shout to denounce the Radical principles of Lord ASHLEY. And the noble scion of nobility did not refuse the challenge. He honestly proclaimed his principles, and recognised JACK CADE as a brother. " I regret," said he, " that my Right lion. Friend has introduced obser vations on proceedings which, but for him, would never- have been thought of, and were forgotten. I deplore that he should have said that this is the beginning of a JACK CADE legis lation. I will not repudiate nor be ashamed of the title, but at the same time I ask what gave birth to JACK CADE ? Was it not that the people were writhing under oppressions which they were not able .to bear, and, when smarting under these op pressions, they resolved to take the law into their own hands; and if, for this, they were to be told that they were rebels like JACK CADE, the Government were only adding insult to injury." This language from the son of a Peer, from a - supporter of The "'strong - Ministry," the elect of the landlords, the tenant farmers, and the Church, must have made an awful , reason so many meetings have cately been held." To say nothing of the sheer absurdity of his Lordship taunting the League with being ignorant of the nature and working of the corn-laws--just as if those were not most likely to be best acquainted with the extent and character of an evil who have been among the deepest sufferers by it !—with what justice and propriety can his Lordship deny the fact, that the strong practical arguments of the League have made, within the last year, numerous proselytes among the English tenantry ? Have not Messrs. Con- (DEN and BRIGHT, in the course of their recent visits to the agricultural provinces, found some of their warmest admirers among the farmQrs ? Have they not made eager converts even in Duke-ridden Bucks ; and even in Dorsetshire, under the very nose of Mr. BANKS, found many of the tenantry reading their pamphlets and circulars with the most diligent and respectful attention ? These things admit of no doubt--they are matters of public notoriety; and equally indis putable is it—whatever the Monopolists, for obvious reasons, may choose to allege to the contrary—that many of our most enlightened farmers are daily be coining more and more convinced of the injustice and impolicy of the corn-laws. We redeem our promise to-day, of examining the statements comprised in Mr. JOHN GLADSTONE'S letter, entitled " Considerations connected with the Renewal of the Charter of the Bank of England." In conformity with the example set him by his right honourable leader, the. Premier, we apprehend the sentiments of the President of the Board of Trade, on the most important questions connected with the present condition of our currency, are very strongly opposed to those of his father. Nor are these soli ' tart' examples—we believe—of similar remarkable conflicts of opinion between the heads and the " heirs" of leading families in Liverpool and Manchester. But we notice the circumstance only to found upon it an argument that the measures adopted by the Government of that day, in the attempt to confirm the currency to a standard price of gold, as determined by the Act of 1819, had not the concurrerce of many among the very highest practical authorities in the kingdom, who then protested, and still live to de nounce it. The opinions of a man like the senior member of the house of GLADSTONE—the Cosmo " Priscus," as it were, of his age and country—are entitled, of course, to the most profound attention. From small beginnings he has risen, by his own strong intellect, intuitive sagacity, and unwearied energy (all ani mated by the most intrepid spirit of mercantile enter prise that could found and amass a princely fortune) to the very highest rank in his profession —a pro fession assuredly foremost among the institutions which social civilization has yet devised for the benefit of all mankind. He has conferred honour and dis tinction, in his own person and by his own eminent talents for private and public business, on that great seat of commercial opulence and adventure, already illustrious by the fame of its ROSCOE ; and he has recorded his own name, influence, and connexions, side by side with those other British establishments whose wealth, liberality, and honour are to be heard of even in the remotest regions in every quarter of the globe, to which our flag has ever been carried. It is not, therefore, without diffidence that we shall venture to record our dissent from some of the views which are announced by such authority ; and we may feel the greater diffi culty in doi ng so because we are n o t p erm itt e d t o assume that these views are modified to any extent, by the accident of his son's high an d i mportant con 'lexicon with her MAJESTY'S Government, at the head of which we find the right honourable sponsor for the Bill of 1819. In a lettel from the gentleman of whom we are writing,—Mr. GLADSTONE, published in Monday's. Times, we extract, in fair ness, a passage that sets at rest all doubt about his own in dividual responsibility for the views in question : "I think it my duty . thus to declare that I had no communication on the subject of them with my son or with any M em b er o f t h e Government, directly or indi rectly, or indeed with any other person previous to doing so ; they are the fruits of the experience of a long com mercial life; and under impressions of the importance of their object, I ventured to submit them to the public under my sole responsibility, however underserving of confidence they probably may appear to many. I ought also to add, that I am wholly unacquainted with the views and intentions of the Government in connection with this subject." We therefore take the proposition as Mr. JOHN Cr I LADSTONE ' S Only ; and truth and conviction compel us to repudiate some of them. Mr. JOHN GLAD_ STONE sets out (in his letter of the 22d instant) by suggesting that— " Experience seems to have decided that the existing law—restricting the paper simulation to notes-of the value of 5L and upwards, making those of the Bank of England convertible into cash at the will of the holders, and those of all other banking establishments so convertible either ' impression on the Treasury benches, and could not fail to remind Sir JAMES GRAHAM of a venerable proverb, which, in his fit of Tory enthusiasm, he had utterly forgotten. All good men will rejoice in this display, and will honour Lord ASHLEY for casting to the winds political ties, when they interfere with the wrongs of tl e oppressed. Let him pursue the same honourable course, and he will compel even the RICHMONDS and BUCKING HAMS to do justice to the ogle. The Monopolists still continue to hold their pro corn-law meetings, but they excite little or no public interest—they attract no crowds—they collect no vast public subscriptions—and they adduce no new arguments that will bear the test of even an ordinary examination. Though we hear of them haranguing their dependents and tenant-farmers, now in this county, and now in that, yet few, even of their own organs, pay much attention to what they say ; and their most indignant bursts of eloquence against their powerful adversaries may be said, without exaggera tion, to make as little impression on the public mind as if they were so many direct arguments in favour of the five points of the Charter. How different is the case when the League hold their meetings at - Covent-garden Theatre ! Though these meetings occur once in every seven days' yet so far are they from becoming stale and weari some by such frequent repetition, that the public in terest attached to them grows more lively every week; and vast crowds are constantly turned away from the doors of the theatre wherein they are held, disap pointed in their hopes of obtaining admission. While the Monopolists, with Dukes and Lords, and Heaven knows how many wealthy landowners in their train, can scarcely find an audience in the provinces—ex cept, indeed, among their own immediate dependents, who dare not, however they might desire it, absent themselves the League cannot find the means of accommodating the hundreds who desire to attend their meetings, notwithstanding that those meetings are held weeklf for the Express pur pose of giving as many as possible an opportunity of hearing the arguments in favour of a system of free, unrestricted trade. We have been led to these re marks by the circumstance of a county meeting haying just taken place in Roxburghshire, at which, though the Monopolists appear to have mustered in larger force than is usual with them, yet, so far as we can: learn, infinitely fewer people were present than have attended any one meeting of the League at Covent Garden since the commencement of the session. The tone held at this gathering of the Roxburgh Monopolists was a singularly tame and subdued one, clearly indicating that the party feel by no means secure of their position, notwithstanding the recent declaration of the GOvernment in their behalf. To be sue Sir Jowl.; PRINGLE congra tuiated his he . * Arthe manner in which Ministers had lately pen out on the corn• law question; but there was not the slightest earnestness or exultation in his language, nor did the meeting seem to evince— if we may judge from the reports—the slightest feel ing on the subject. Lord POLWARTH, who followed the worthy Baronet, observed, by way of explaining the reasons why so many Monopolist gather ings have recently been got up—" it may be necessary to reflect upon the circum stances now affecting the agricultural interest throughout the country at large. It is not that there is the slightest want of confidence in the people to wards the Government at the head of affairs ; but it is because there is a body who have united for dis seminating their own views—a body who are actuated by views which, if not purely selfish, are certainly dictated by ignorance, and arise from those who hold them not being aware of the extent of mischief they are inculcating. But it is not only that they wish to spread that view throughout the country,but it is because they have openly promulgated that you, the tenantry, have coincided with them in opinion.

IC ests," between the public and the Bank—always, be it observed, in NECESSARY antagonism, whenever the bullion price of gold in the market is higher than the Mint price —is confirmed by a passage in the speech of no less an authority than the framer of that very Act of 1819 himself! The present Sir ROBERT PEEL, in his m emorable spee c h, on mov i ng the Currency Resolutions (24th May, 1819), quoted from the re port of the proceedings which had taken place at the Bank, four days previously, a paragraph, in which the Directors submitted to the Government, among other things, the following considerations :—" They feel themselves obliged, by the new situation in which they have been placed by the Bank Restriction Act of 1797, to bear in mind, not less their duties to the es tablishment over which they preside, than their du ties to the community at large." And, in comment ing on these expressions, the Right Hon. Gentleman said he felt that this assertion was a melancholy truth. He asked the House to relieve the Bank from the duty which had thus been thrown upon it. A strong impression was made upon his mind as to the necessity for relieving it from the duty of attending to the.concerns of the country at large. It was the duty of Parliament, and not of the Bank, to take care of the pecuniary and commercial concerns of the na tion generally. He certainly thought it was the duty of the Legislature to endeavours, by great exertion, to resume that duty which had thus been delegated to the Bank. Why, what stronger testimony than this, illus trated by the fact that the power complained of still virtually remains in the Bank, can be desired to the absurdity and danger of PEEL'S Bill of 1819 ? What more striking demonstration can be adduced of the identity of the "primary cause" of the mis chiefs described by Mr. GLADSTOYIE, the " active poison" of which we have spoken, with the Aet 1819 ? But we shall pursue this point further in dealing with the remainder of Mr. GLADSTONE'S ira , portant letter. •••• 123 .... 481 .. 5i 408 109 i .. 1091 Threes •• •••••• •• • • ''" •• 36t • • 36 •• 364 SpanishDute hT‘ p v a o s - s a i n v l t e l B - . 4 a . 2 - . 1 . 1 • it lj ... ••• ••• ••• ••• Irl . . 8 4 . . 6 1 .. 61 Neap01itan................ 102 30 .. 102 30 .. 192 .. 102 30 Roman . .

SormistrroN, SUNDAY Mcnomm.—The Severn, Royal Mail Company's steam-ship, Captain Vincent, arrived this morning soon after seven o'clock, from the West Indies, bringing all the mails, and the following passengers : From Jamaica—Mr. Henriques, Mr. Math°Hand, Mr. G. Rhodes (60th Rifles), Mr. C. Thompson, Mr. F. Steel. Trinidad—Mrs. Lake, two children, and female servant. Fayal—Mr. Solomon Benskabeth, Mr. Solomon Seabury. Also, Mr. Stewart, chief officer of the Company's ship Tweed, invalided. • The Severn Mugs home but 2,000 dollars, 17i ounce s o f gold dust, 296 ounces silver bullion, and 310 ounces of gold ditto. No cochineal. Independent of the dollars above mentioned, one of the passengers brought home about 30,000 on private account. The Severn left La Guayra on the sth of February; Deme rara, 19th ; Trinidad, 20th ; Barbadoes, 20th ; Jamaica, 23d ; Grenada, 25th; St. Thomas's, 29th; and Fayal on the 16th of March. Madrid papers of the 17th have been received, and as usual contain some fresh tales of horror. At Alicant on the 12th and 13th three civilians were shot; and Senor GARRIDO, Secretary to the Political Chief, on being identified, was to undergo the same fate, for remaining at Alicant during the insurrection. A Barcelona journal of the 17th announces that a new conspiracy had been discovered in that city, and that the persons suspected of being engaged in it were to be tried by a court-martial, then sitting in the citadel. A letter adds that four had been capitally convicted and shot. Two other . executions had taken place at Zamora. The Heraldo, a Madrid paper, publishes the fol. lowing atrocious order of the day, issued on the 4th at Denasal, by the Commandant-General of the QUEEN'S troops in the Alaeztrasgo : " Any individual that shall be seized and convicted on evidence, however slight, of having attempted to induce a soldier or inhabitant to join the factions shall be shot. Shall a l so be shot any soldier that shall be found communicating with. persons hostile to the Government of the Queen (whom God save!), and that sh a ll be known t o w i s h to join the enemy. Before -he suffers death, his offence shall undergo a summary inquiry of not more than two hours, but three hours to p repare to die as a he shall ian be allowed Canhdrist The Three per Cents. were done at 331- for cash, and 34 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 22i for cash, and 23 3-16 at 60 days. Most of the Paris papers have leading articles on the defeat of the English Ministry in the gouse °Nora mOns on Monday; and as they bring no news of the slightest importance, we can find room for a few extracts from them on this " untoward event': "If JAMAICA. We have received a file of the Jamaica Times down to the date of the sailing of the Severn, but they contain little news of interest. The drought continued at Jamaica, and fears are enter tained that there will be a considerable deficiency in the sugar crop 'this season. In the House of Assembly a Bill to amend the import duties had been read a third time and passed. A Bill had -been also introduced, and read a second time, to incorporate the "Royal Agricultural Society of the island. CApt. Duling moved fora grant of 500/. for the use of the Society. After considerable discussion the sum. was ultimately reduced to 200/., and carried, Another Bill had been presented to make tenders in silver coin legal to a certain amount. It was read a second time and committed The amount fixed upon was 40s. Great efforts have been made to establish on a fair footing the General Agricultural Society, which is henceforth to have the title of " Royal" affixed to it, her Majesty the Queen having signified through his Excellency the Governor her most gracious wish to honour it with her patronage. Lord Stanley and others.of the-English nobility have also joined the Society and put down their. names as life. subscribers. Lord Elgin has also followed the example. In consequence of the patron age of her 'Majesty many ladies "of the island have contributed to the funds of the Society. The Jamaica Times speaks in the highest terms of the exertions ofLord Elgin in the matter, and says the island owes a lasting debt of gratitude to his Lord ship, to whom exclusively belongs the honour of having directed the attention of the planters to what alive can save them—agricultural improvement. His Excellency the Governor had given a donation of 200/, to be bestowed in prizes of 100/. each, for the best essays on " The Manufacture of Sugar." and " On the best mode of establishing and conducting Industrial Schools adapted to the wants and circumstances of our agricultural population." Sir Charles Adam was still at Port Royal with the squadron. The brig Helena arrived at Port Royal on Feb. 16, with Mr. Bankhead, the Mexican Plenipotentiary from England on board, who proceeded on to Mexico in the Inconstant frigate on the 21st. Ai the Seve rn was l eav i ng P ort R oyal on the 23d, she discovered the ship Abel Gower making for that port totally dismasted, and in a very disabled state. Her Majesty's' ship Ap o ll o, C ommander M'L ean, arrived at Port Royal on the d ay previous to the Severn leaving, from Gibraltar in 30 days, with the 48th - Regiment on board. The barque Conservative, Cousens, from Portsmouth in 39 dap, also arrived on the 22d with a general cargo. Her Majesty's brig Ringl ove , C omman d er Si r W . D an i e l , sailed on the 22d for Nassau, N. P.' ST. TIIO3LA - S'S.—The small-pox had ceased at St. Thomas's, and clean bills of health were issued. The Severn was, how ever, placed in quarantine, notwithstanding she had not been to any infected port, aiid all were well on beard. This is certainly the best method of preventing contagion,, although it is somewhat inconvenient.. - • TRINIDAD.—At Trinidad the Council was engaged in re modelling the old Spanish laws of the island, and adapting them to the exigencies of the country, according to the spirit of the British Constitution. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS Cav, MONDAY EVENING. The Funds close very firmly, Consuls being 98i to Exchequer Bills have realised 68g. to 70s. premium ; India Stock went back to 293 and 292 ; South Sea Stock was marked 1124. It is to be expected that the great advance in the former will tempt sales occa sionally. The Spanish market was more lively this afternoon, and prices ruled steady. The Five per Cents. were 251 to and the Three per Cents. 36 to There were further bargains in Mexican Deferred, and at the ad vanced rates of 15i to a ; Colombian were worth 141; Dutch Five per Cents, of the new loan brought 101. The additional bargains in Railway Shares were not very numerous, and as our list will show, at about pre vious rates. (From The Sun of Last Night.) There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday : sales 3,000 bales, at former prices. —The trans actions in Rail Way Stock were tolerably numerous, but with out any rise in prices. Chester and Holyhead were 7to ; Eastern Counties, llg ; Great Western, Half, 70; South- Western, 821 ; Manchester and Birmingham, 474-; Paris and Orleans, 35 ; Norwich and Brandon, 7 ; South Eastern, 36 ; Ditto New, 34 to 36g. The information which we gave on Saturday with respect to the assents and dissents to the scheme of the reduction of the interest upon the Three-and-a-Half per Cents., was sub stantially correct, and the opinion in well-informed circles— official details being yet kept secret—is, that the amount that will be required for those holders who do not agree with the plan will be considerably under a million sterling. A Morning Contemporary, gives the dissents at only about 60,00 W, but an important omission is made in not giving the amount of assents as respects the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. of 1818, the amount of stock involved in which is about ten millions sterling. We believe the amount assented to is not far short of eight millions sterling; and when the residents abroad who are holders shall have time to send their instruc tions, no question is entertained but that a large amount of the deficiency will be made up. The plan, taken altogether, has been successful beyond all calculation. The concession made by Government with regard to goods imported from Peru, which have been bonded in this country but twelve months, the auction-duty upon which is not to ha exacted, has been the subject of some conversation among mercantile men to-day. The reciprocal principle unquestion ably has been carried out to a full extent upon this occasion ; and it is to be hoped, that as regards other countries nearer home, the same good feeling may soon be exhibited among those nations who claim friendly relations with Great Britain. The West India mail brings rather later advices from Bar badoes ; and, indeed, in Jamaica, matters appear to have slightly improved. Rain had fallen in the former island to some extent. The Funds are very well supprted, and in fact Consols have not been done under 981 to a for Money, the Govern ment broker having purchased at the highest rates for the Commissioners; and 984 to for Account. Exchequer Bills have been 68s. to 705., and India Bonds 86s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have risen to 1021 to 4. Bank Stock is 200 to 2003, and India Stock 293. There has been a very quiet market for Spanish Bonds, but the tone of prices is good, as the letter addressed by the Finance Minister to the Committee of Spanish bondholders is construed by some as rather favourable. For our own ' part, however, we think we perceive in it, an obscure remark respecting a new loan. The Active Stock is 253 to 4, and the Deferred 15 ; the Three per Cents. are nominally about 354 to 364. Mexican Actives have risen to 364, and the Deterred to 153 ; Brazil Bonds for Account are 82k, and Buenos Ayres 374 ; Portu guese Converted obtain 46 ; Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents. have been marked 57/to 4, and the Five per Cents. 1014 to 4. Railway Shares are steady, with a fair business doing. Bir tningham and Derby realise 38 ; Do. and Glou cester 14 to 15 ; Brighton, 5/ to ; Greenwich, 74 ; and South-Eastern, 131 discount'; Bristol and Exeter are Lk to 2; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 14 to ; Great Western, New, 203 ; Birmingham, 136 ; Ditto, New Quarter, 264 ; Croydon, 3 ; Manchester and Leeds, 44 ; New castle and Darlingt on , 20 to ; and Paris and Orleans, 15 premium. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, MARCH 23.—There more business doing to-day, without any change in prices.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vtibltc Optitton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The King and Queen of the French on Wednesday even ing received the 'Brazilian Minister, Prince d'Gttingen Wallerstein, the Duke Decazes, Counts de Montalembert and de Montgelas, Baron Mortier, the Prefect of the Ariege, Messrs. HaVin, Guyet-Desfontaine s' Deslongrais, Boissel, Tribert, and C a l mon , th e Duchess Decazes, the Baroness Mortier, and a great. number of Peers. The Moniteur announces that the Court will go into mourning on the occasion of the death of the King of Sweden for twenty-one days. The funeral of the Count de Briqueville, Member of the Chamber of Deputies, took place on Thursday, at eleven o'clock. The grand deputation of the Chamber, and a num ber of military men, were assembled at that hour at the Hotel du Rhin, Place Vendome, the residence of the de ceased, and accompanied the procession to the Church. Count Pajol, whose death we announced on Saturday, was 72 years of age, and had been in the army for 53 years. He was aide -de-camp of Kleber at.the battle of Altenkirchen, who conferred on him the • rank of chef-d'escadron on the field of battle. He was promoted to the grade of Colonel by Massena, at the battle of Zurich. His commission of General was dated from Austerlitz, and that of General of Division from Moscow. In 1 £3O he was appointed Commander of the first military division, which post he held for twelve years. During his long ca reer he was frequently wounded, and had sixteen horses killed under him. At Leipsic, in particular, a bomb having burst under his horse's belly, he fell and broke his left arm. It was by a sort of miracle that he escaped being killed ; and Napoleon, who witnessed the occurrence, thinking it im possible that the General could survive, exclaimed, " I sus tain a great loss which I shall not easily repair ; if Pajol should recover now; he must be destined never to die !" The returns of the imports into France'in January last, published by the Administration of Customs, exhibit a de• crease of 361,439 f. in the amount of duties collected during that month, as compared with those of the corresponding month of 1843. A rebellion broke out on Wednesday evening at the Insti tution de St. Barbe, one of the largest private scholastic establishments in Paris, having upwards of 300 pupils. Se veral of the refractory youths have been sent home to their families, and will not be re-admitted until after a rigid scru tiny into their conduct. The Gazette de France states that the Duchess de Gontaut has received a 'letter from the sister of the Duke de Bor deaux, dated Goritz, the 12th, and announcing that a marked improvement has taken place in the state of the Duke d'An goultme.

Tresham Gregg :—" That the universal outcry' now made for the overthrow of the Irish Church, together with the melancholy accounts from England, are all attributable to the Duke of Wellington and Sir IL Peel, who, when in 1829 they broke in upon the Con stitution of 1688, promised peace and security to the Church, as they still do, while in fact, assault, apprehension, and danger, are the result." _ _ M.

FROM THE LO WER DANUBE, MARCH 6. -- The accounts received from Southern Russia respect ing the state, of things in the Caucasus are not favour able to the Vussians. A great number of soldiers (espe cially Poles) of the regiments already arrived had de serted to the mountains. The aversion of the Polish soldiers to the. Russian service is so great, that they rather submit to the hardest service and the greatest privation among the mountaineers (where no enviable fate awaits them), than follow the Russian standard. Many of them take the opportunity to escape into the interior of the country beyond the mountains, whence they either return to Europe, or engage in the service of some Asiatic power.—Manheiin Journal.
