The House of Lords met at Five o'clock. The Earl of LIVERPOOL brought down her MAJESTY'S answer to the address on the subject of the provision for Sir H. POTTINGER, which was ordered to be entered on the journals of the House. The Schoolmasters (Scotland) Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord BROUGHAM brought in a new Bill to facilitate the recovery of small debts, which was read a first time. On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, a Select Committee was appointed to search the Commons Journals on the subject of the Common Law Process Bills. The Archbishop of DUBLIN moved the second reading of the Bishops Patronage (Ireland) Bill. The motion was opposed by the Marquis of CLANRI CARDE and supported by the Earl of WicKLow, and, on a division, was carried by a majority of 16, the numbers being—for the second reading, 35 ; against it, 19. The Bills on the table having been for , arded a stage, their Lordships adjourned. The House of Commons met at Four. The Commons Enclosure and Drainage of Lands Bills were read a second time. Monday was fixed by Sir J. GRAHAM for the Com mittees on the Irish Colleges Bill. The adjourned debate on the subject of New Zealand was then resumed by Mr. ELLICE, who urged the Go vernment to state distinctly what was the course they intended to pursue with regard to the Colony. fie was decidedly opposed to any attempt to take it from the Company. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. CARD. WELL, Mr. MANGLES, Mr. COLQUHOUN, Mr. SHEIL, Sir J. GRAHAM, Lord J. RUSSELL, and Sir R. PEEL, when the House divided, and the resolutions were nega tived by a majority of .57. But a few years ago a perfeet apathy prevailed throughout the country respecting the most impolitic and unjust law ever passed by the Legislature—we mean the corn-law, first brought forward in 1815, and continued to the present day, modified Certainly in some points, but still retaining all the more objectionable restrictions which characterised it at first. When it was proposed, the public were so shacked at the pretensions of the landowners, that nothing but a foreign war pre vented a civil commotion, or a signal defeat of the Bill from sheer terror. The houses of the leading members of the Government were attacked, the lives of the Ministers themselves were not without danger, and the victory of Waterloo and a general peace, which caused such universal joy, alone made the community submit patiently to the plans of a Government who had been so eminently successful abroad. But still the glaring defects of this law did not escape the eyes of men acquainted with the principles of free trade and the best interests of the country—repeated attacks were made on this obnoxious impost, and for little less than twenty years have we been fighting against it, often single-handed, though at times supported by other journalists, yet the county Members were still too powerful. The task was regarded as ut terly hopeless, and vast numbers looked upon a re peal of the Union, or the restoration of the heptarchy, as probable as the repeal of the corn-laws. But "water weareth the stones," and perseverance in a good cause never fails of its legitimate effect. The eyes of the public were opened at last. They began to see the hardships to which they were subjected by a law which did not even benefit its authors, and latterly all commercial men have enter tained but one opinion as regards its ruinous results on the vital interests of the nation. That general opinion gave rise to the League, which was scoffed at by the landed interest and their organs—denounced, by them, as an illegal association, and stigmatised as a body of selfish traders, who looked only to their own personal advantages. But impartial Englishman took a different view of the question. They approved of its principles, admired the c , n tansy and boldness with which it fought, and finally , lent their aid by subscribing larger sums than had ever h-en collected for similar purposes in the memory of man. It soon became a national question, and though the landlords were numerous and powerful —nay, almost omnipotent in the Legislature—the small voice of wisdom at last prevailed. The victory of argument was entirely on one side; even the Minister " elect" of the landed interest, whilst he opposed the change, was wofully deficient in reasons ; the very advocates of the injurious law d indled down to a mere junta of senators without influence or eloquence, and have latterly exhi bited such a lack of prudence, skill, and knowledge of true legislative principles, that the " strong Ministry " have been compelled to throw them overboard. Sir R. PEEL and Sir JAMES GRAHAM are now good repeaters, and they want only time. When the proper season comes they promise to walk as fast as Mr. COBDEN. This is one of the greatest triumphs effected by perse verance in right principles. Mr. COBDEN might well ask the great meeting at Covent-garden on Wednesday why that which was admitted to be just, and politic, and urgent, should be delayed till it pleased PROVIDENCE to visit the country with famine ? "It was rather hard," said he, "to main tain an injurious law fur the benefit of the farmers, who were, after all, but 250,000 out of the 27,000,000 who form the population of these islands. But who ever heard it urged that it was for the benefit of the people that the law had been passed ? Sir ROBERT PEEL was very fond of talking of the great and important interests which had grown up under this law. I plead for greater and more important interests which are crushed to the earth by the pressure of this law ; and if they want proof of this, why I bring their own Hume Secretary, with his prison reports and his statistical tables, and I put him into the witness-box, to show what the law has done for that class which is most numerous in this land. I apply for the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws, on the ground of expediency, and be cause it could now be better effected than at another time. I apply for it on the ground of justice, because, if the law be a bad one, it should be at once annulled. And what will be the effect on the great body of the people, when the time comes which Government con templates—for they are going to repeal the law in a season of distress ? And such a season may come— aye, three weeks of showery weather, when wheat is in its bloom, will repeal this corn-law ? But how ? We have the experience of 1839, 1840, and 1841, and are the people of this country to be subjected to another such infliction before this Lw is repealed ? What provision is made for such a cala mity ? This is an important consideration at this moment. Divine Providence may repeal the corn-laws rigour harvest,gou addr o b mf u t t ohre a e at present tn dthloers, landlord's Jo e : en t-,corn,-law." bwu.t, mitigates by his t h s y a p d a e the e by littl eun words are not now required—the fate of the cora-law is sealed; the very farmers' friends have turned against it, and next session, we confidently trust, it will be•classed among the tliings that " were."

We have perused the report of it with great pleasure, and are fully prepared to concede to it no ordinary degree of praise. It was a speech honourably distinguished from the general run of Parliamentary orations on analogous subjects, by the bold reliance of the speaker on his own powers of illustrating its official and statistical details. Confining himself, strictly encugh, within the limits prescribed by the forms of the House and the real exigencies of his subject, he yet availed him self abundantly of every legitimate opportunity that presented itself for expatiating into large and well consi dered views of European statesmanship in its adminis tration of that policy which should direct its views of colonial connexion. It manifested, also, a becoming scorn for that sort of cant—that overt zeal for Church Propagandism which, in the case of New Zealand, as in very many other instances, has been intimately connected with covert selfishness and grasping avarice on the part of men calling themselves " Church missionaries." In addition to these qualities of excellence, Mr. CIIARLES BULLER'S speech showed a mastery of its matter—a richness and variety of details—and a lucidity of ar rangement as agreeable and instructive as they are rare in discussions on colonial affairs, in which it appears to be the fashion with either House of Parliament to sup pose,-1. That the Colonial Department must be omnis cient as to the facts, motives, and opinions, involved in the history of any questions arising within its jurisdic tion ; 2. That all human information, possible or actual, to which any character of authenticity can apply, must be comprised within the mystic pages of those " Blue Books," that, like the Sybilline leaves of yore, are for ever being blown out of the recesses in which they are elaborated with the certain fate of being gathered up and perused by no men, or proving utterly beyond the comprehension of the men who do gather up and con sult them. Mr. BULLER not only diffused his materials with a lavish hand throughout his elaborate address, but took care that they should tell with all who heard them. But, entertaining these notions of the speech, we must add that it did not accomplish, in our opinion, more than one of the two main objects for which, we presume, it was de signed. It was a masterly exposure of the bad faith, the ruinous mistakes, the undignified petulance manifested by Lord STANLEY and his subordinates in the Colonial Department in the history of the transactions that were recapitulated by the Learned Member for Liskeard. But it was not to our mind anything like an adeqaate vindication of the New Zealand Company, of which Mr. BULLER himself is a most active and an in telligent Director, or a successful apology for the still unexplained, aye, and unatoned delinquencies of a direc tion which then, we believe, boasted, as it now boasts, of Mr. SOMES, the Conservative Member for Bridport, for its governor, or chairman. We do not see that any plea, in justification, has been established, to remove from them the serious charge of having induced parties here to purchase lands of them in New Zealand—which the Company cannot have believed themselves, surely, pending their unsettled and uncompleted negotiations with the Government, to have possessed so ab solutely as to be entitled to make them the subject of bargain and sale with others. We do not see that Mr. BULLER has purified the Broad street rection from permitting, soliciting, encouraging British subjects to emigrate to a most remote and savage country, upon their arrival in which they found that the lands which they had travelled some twelve thousand miles to settle upon, were not yet so far within the possession—or even the jurisdiction of the Company—as to enable the latter to locate a single settler there with a valid or effectual title. But as the New Zealand Company, for our present purpose, are not upon their trial, and for the purposes of the debate re cently raised in Parliament, the Colonial Department are ; we shall advert only to a few points that possess an interest so intrinsic as to be inde pendent either of the one or the other of these points of view. As to the excellencies which the Learned Member claimed for a well-conducted sys tem of colonial emigration in general, we are as little disposed to contest them as we are to give an unquali fied concurrence in the eulogies he so unsparingly pro nounced on the system adopted by the New Zealand Company in particular. Equally sceptical are we as to the " disinterestedness " of the latter body, notwith standing the warm eulogiums he passed upon it. But we can fully enter into the warmth and earnestness with which the Learned Member takes up the cause of the British settlement in that noble country, in its present condition, through whatever course of events it has been attained. The total of land in the islands of New Zealand, of a quality available for settlement and cultivation by British subjects, is not less, it seems, than sixty millions of acres, the far greater portion of it readily accessible from a line of coast ex tending nearly 3,000 miles—and its soil producing some of the finest ship timber and other woods in the world, and eminently prolific in its yield of all the principal grains, pulse, and roots forming the staples of Europea❑ subsistence. Mr. BULLER developed, with a simplicity and force every way worthy of his theme, the remark able natural advantages of geographical position, and still more singular accidents of political importance, that now combined to impart a character of growing conse quence to New Zealand. The recent occupations of France in the Marquesas and the Society Islands—the establishments of America among the Sandwich group— the probable early accomplishment of a permanent com munication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by the Isthmus of Panama, of Darien, or even of Tchuhan tepec;—the great dominions of the States of Mexico, Chili, and Peru, and our important territory of the Oregon along the western and north-western shores of America; these points are well worthy of all the con sideration which the Learned Gentleman desires to draw to them. We reserve our examination of the general deportment of the Colonial Government to this colony in its latter days—to its unaccountable coquettings with the Crown rights of possession, and the chartered reply of the New Zealand Company—its deplorable slumbering in the first instance over the questions of title, government, protection; or no title, no government, no protection; its backing up of Captain FITZROY, and Captain FITZROY'S ogre-like patronage of the ruffian chief who concocted the massacre which we have had so lately to deplore. It is not our design at present to enter upon any facts of which our present knowledge depends on mere ex parte statements. Neither shall we attempt to prove to Mr. BULLER that which we think we could readily do, that he has much underrated the aboriginal character of the New Zealander, both for its moral and its intellectual qualities, in the parallel he has run be tween it, and that of the Nomadie savages of North America, and the Red Carib. But we cannot close this notice of thanks to the Learned Member for a very ad mirable speech, without expressing our respect for the i clearness and good sense of some of the opinions avowed by him on the general rights of civilised men to settle ' on unoccupied lands forming part of the country of barbarians, the paucity of whose numbers bears no rela tion to the vast extent of their territory. The strongest point he has established in favour of the New Zealand Company is, that they have voluntarily secured to the native proprietors of all lands which they have dealt with there for a permanent property or freehold in one tenth of such lands. This will always form a redeeming feature in contracts where the consideration paid by the European purchaser to the barbarian seller appears to be most inadequate. But here we reach a subject which, more especially in connexion with the land.jobbing activity of the Church missionaries, is too important not to form matter for a separate paper. The Madrid journals of the 11th contain no political news. In one of them appears a letter from the Marquis VILUDIA, who has been charged with intriguing for the restoration of absolute government, and aiding the Camarilla in bringing about a marriage between the QUEEN and the Prince of ASTURIAS. He denies the charges, and says he is not the head of a party desirous to elevate the dignity of the QUEEN on the ruins of the Constitution. Politics had been abandoned for a season at Madrid, the inhabitants being fully occupied with the bull-fights. The Tiempo of the 10th gives the following account of one which had created much interest, from the number of foreigners who entered the arena : "Yesterday. between three and four o'clock, the bull.fight, so much talked of in this capital, took place in the Jesuits' garden be longing to M. Fagoaga. The bills had not ventured to state that the bulls would be fought, nor should we venture to affirm it ; but it is fact that the bulls made their appearance in the arena, and that they were dispatched (to use a technical term) in the best style the said amateurs could manage it. We believe we are not indiscreet when we say that the combatants in this strange fight were the very flower of diplomacy and of the society of Madrid. Among them figured the Duke of Glucksberg (the Paris papers contradict this), M. Mercier, of the French Embassy, MM. Beauvallon and D'Epervilly, who have sought refuge in Spain in consequence of a well.known occurrence at Paris, the Count de Castella, Mr. Russell, Count de Caceres, the Duke d'Alba, Mr. Moore, Senor Fagoaga, Den Jose Domingo, and Mr. Living stone. Four nations were, therefore, in presence, Spain, England, France, and the United States. Senor Tolgiaria killed the first young bull ! M. Beauvallon killed the second, which was a rather more formidable one, and dexterously wounded by Mr. Moore with several darts ; the third died by the hand of Mr. Livingstone. The fourth was spared at the request of a lady. M. Beauvallon was to have slain the fifth, but that matador hurt his hand :with his sword, and the bull was killed by M. Mercier. The sixth was truly a formidable bull, judging from the general desertion that took place in the lists, and he was dispatched by a professional matador. Two young bulls next appeared, and were spared. The combatants proved themselves capable of eclipsing in due time the glory of the Romeros and Illos, and the amusements would have been com plete had it not been for the accident that happened to M. Beau. vallon, who, in addition to the wound already noticed, also received some horn.thrusts. But let us not forget the Picadores and Ban. derilleros, who behaved superbly. M. Rupel and the Count de Castille displayed both courage and skill ; a horn killed a horse under the tomer. The Vis coun t D'E perv ill e) and t h e D u k e d e Glucksberg rivalled their two companions by the intrepidity with which they assailed the two most dreaded young bulls. The Vis count D'Epervilley received a blow which prevented his resuming his lance, but it was fortunately attended with no serious come. quences. Among the Banderilleros and Capcadores were Mr. Moore, the Mzrquis de Caceres, and Senor Fagoaga, who distin guished themselves. The Duke d'Alba received a horn wound." The Funds had risen, in consequence, it was said, of a loan having been obtained at Paris for the purpose of supporting Spanish Stock. On the 11th the Three per Cents. closed at 31 13-16 for cash, and 328 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 211 for cash, and 218 at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 68 for cash, and 7+ at 60 days. We learn from the Paris papers, that, in addition to the Bills to be carried this session, mentioned in The Sun of yesterday, the Chamber of Deputies, after some discussion, had sanctioned the following :—Bills for Trans-atlantic steam-boats, for improving the harbours of Toulon and Port Vendres, repairing the Cathedral of Notre Dame, rescinding the Bth clause of the Railroad Act of 1842, and establishing a branch of the Bank of France at Algiers, and for preventing the adulteration of wine. The Chamber, on Tuesday, continued the dis cussion on the army estimates, in the course of which M. DUPIN complained of the frequent changes made in the uniform of the troops, which caused great expense to the officers as well as the country. The Committee on the Great Western Railway took into consideration a pro position made by a new Company, formed by the Rouen and Versailles Companies, for the purpose of making branch lines to Lisieux and Alencon, should the line pass through Leo Mans. In that case the localities now demanding the postponement of that Bill, would by this arrangement be fully satisfied. The Committee and the Minister of Public Works were understood to have ac cepted the offer. The Peer.; had appointed Committees to examine the Bills for the lines of railway between Paris and Lyons, and Lyons and Avignon. All the Members are in favour of the Bills. The KING held a Cabinet Council on Tuesday at the Tuileries, and after wards proceeded to the Louvre, and laid the first stone of a pedestal for the equestrian statue of the Duke of ORLEANS. The Three per Cents. closed on the Bourse on Tues day at 84f. 10c. ; the Five per Cents. at 122 f. 10c. ; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,217 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 1,087 f. 50c. ; Vierzon, 785 f.; Havre, 870 f.; Avignon, 1,030 f. ; Basle, 266 f. 25f.; Spanish Three per Cents., 41.

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths during the last week was 845, showing an in crease of only 6 over the previous week. The violent deaths were above the average, amounting to 30, of which 20 were from accidents, 2 suicides, 1 execution, and 2 from burns and scalds. There were 14 deaths from small-pox at the following ages :—three under 1 year ; three 1-3 ; three 3-5 ; two 5-10 ; one 14 ; one 15 ; and one 26 yearF.

We have accounts from Sydney as late as March 15. Wool had been lower during the previous month, on account of the decline here last October, upon second qualities. For advances upon the staple, 5 per cent. discount was readily given. The commercial markets were not active. According to the latest accounts from New Zealand that we can find in the Sydney journals, a collision between our troops and the natives was considered inevitable. By another arrival there are dates of the Bth and 11th, from Van Diemen's Land. The colonial press was grumbling at the prospect of increased taxation to meet the deficient revenue, at a time when they were so little able to afford it. The East India letters have been delivered, and describe the state of the markets for European imports as being still rather satisfactory, compared to what it was a month or two back. There was likely to be a good crop of indigo, and many other important articles promised well. From Ceylon it is stated that—" The weather since our last has been of the most favourable cuaracter for the coffee estates, and we imagine it is seldom that planters have a prospect of a heavier crop than is this year promised ; the blossoming has been abundant and healthy, and the season able showers seem to have turned every flower to account. Two full blossomings have already taken place, and the buds of a third are in an advanced state. The -earliest forward berries look healthy, and are rapidly swelling, and as the monsoon now appears to be changing, and we may expect moist weather, an abundant and early crop must Fie the result.* The Funds have been verysteady to-day, but Consols have not risen above 99 1 / s .

HAMPTON RACES-THURSDAY. The weather having undergone a favourable change, the second day's racing attracted a bumper attendance, and passed off with unequivocal succes,s, enabling the lessees and their sub-tenants to realise more than sufficient to cover their losses on Wednesday. For some hours previous to and after the races, the road, the river,- and the rail, were alive with the passing to and fro of the thousands who, for the long period occupied in getting through the list, had been congregated and half-broiled within the narrow confines of the Hurst; yet, great as was the crowd, we are not aware that any accident involving loss of life or limb occurred—albeit, from the awkward ness of the approaches, ample work was provided for the coachmakers; in fine, if we except the grumbling at the very heavy toll exacted for the admission of vehicles on the course, the disregard of time between the heats, and the some what negligent manner in which the course was kept, we must give the stewards and their officials the credit of having, on the whole, materially improved the character of the meeting. The company, as we have intimated, was numerically great ; the mobocracy, of course, being in a majority ; still it had a dash of royalty and fashion, as the following brief selection will make manifest :—His Royal Highness Prince George of Cam bridge, Lords Edward Russell, Maidstone, Glammis, Suffield, Chetwynd, H.

GRAND ASSAUT O'ARMES AT WILLIS'S ROOMS. M. Leon Gillemand, the Professor of Fencing, of Savile House, Leicester-square, gave his annual public Assaut d' Armes yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's. The rooms were well attended, and we were glad to see several ladies present. If ladies patronise fencing—which, even as an amusement is as elegant as dancing, and infinitely more useful and manly—the day is not far distant when to be " cunning of fence" will be again an essential accomplishment for every gentleman. The following professors fenced in the course of the evening :—Sig. Gandini, Mr. Germain, Mr. Breck, Sig. Chiosso, Mr. Tinniel, Mr. Mondhair, and M. Leon Gillemand. The match between M. L. Gillemand and Signor Gandini, and that between Gandini and an amateur which followed, were beautiful displays of science. Mr. Chtosso acted as magister ludorum. The Assaut concluded with the hard sabre assault by M. Leon Gillemand and Signor Gandini—a wonleriul exhibition of power and science combined. There was an instrumental concert given in intervals between the assaults by a band of 35 performers, including Koenig, Collinet, Prosper, Arban, Nicholson, Jar rett, and Keating, which was admirably conducted by young Laurent: I. SYLUM for AGED FREEMASONS. On Wednesday evening the tenth annual festival of this admirable Institution was celebrated at the Freemasons' Ta vern, when about 150 members of the masonic order and their friends sat down to a very excellent dinner, which was served up in the Messrs. Bacon's best style. The object of the Asy lum is to provide that shelter and support in his latter days for the worthy, aged, and decayed Freemason, which nearly all other classes have already done for those connected with their happier hours, and dependant on their benevolence; and it cer tainly seems strange that while England abounds in homes or benevolence for the distressed, that the aged and decayed Free mason alone should be without this cheering prospect—an ano maly rendered more striking from the fact that no body of men has had higher patronage, richer members, or more bene volent objects. The chair was taken by B. B. Cabbell. Esq., who was sup ported by the Rev. Mr. Laing, Dr. Lane, William Shaw, Esq., E. Brewster, Esq., &c. As is usual upon this annual re-union, a concert forms pai of the festival, and on the present occasion the following ladies and gentlemen gave their services gratuitously :—The Misses Williams, the Misses Turner, Miss Hill (pupil of Signor Negri), Miss Julia Warman (pupil of Mr. Crouch) fantasia on the pianoforte ; Mr. F. Chatterton, solo on the harp ; Signor Brizzi, Mr. Genge, Signor Fornasari, Signor Corelli, Mr. C. E. Horn, Mr. Jolley and his pupils, Mr. Kingsbury, Signor Ferrari, Mr. Collyer, and Mr. F. N. Crouch. The cloth having been removed, and the usual loyal toasts given from the chair having been responded to with enthu siasm, The CHAIRMAN gave the health of the Earl of Zetland, the Grand Master of the Order of Masons, He then gave the Grand Masters of the order in England and Scotland. Mr. MoRAN returned thanks for the latter proposition. The CHAIRMAN said they had now arrived at the chief business of the evening, which was to drink prosperity to the Aged and Decayed Freemasons' Asylum.—( Hear, hear. ) In making this proposition he felt some difficulty, for he knew he was unequal to the task of doing justice t o th e object which they had in view, in carrying forward this in stitution. The Chairman then alluded to some differences which existed in the mind of the late illustrious Grand Master (the Duke of Su.,sex) in respect to the establish ment of the Asylum ; but observed, that as the great prin ciple o f Masonry was charity in its fullest extent, they were bound to believe—and he was sure they :elt as he did in this respect—that the illustrious person to whom he had referred, was actuated by the purest prine;plea of honesty in the courye which he adopted on this sublect ; cor he was a man whose high attainments, whose honesty of purpo .e, and liberal and enlightened understanding, outshone eve a his rank and exalted station.—( Cheers. ) They had, however, carried out their purposes in part, alth oug h t h ey h a d riot ye t succee d e d in erecting their asylum.—( hear. ) Now, he thought, that as they had in part succeeded, they ought to see how far they would be able to establish an asylimi for the widows of masons.—( Loud cheers.) He thought this principle could be admirably . engrafted on t h at w hi c h they were now ce l e b rat i ng , and if it were, he was sure that it would meet with the cordial support of not only all good Masons, but with the public ge. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, and attended by Lady Port man, Lady in Waiting, left Buckingham Palace at a quarter put nine o'clock yesterday morning, in a carriage and four, escorted by a party of the 4th Light Dragoons, for the terminus of the South-Western Railway, at Nine Elms. Their Royal Highnesses Prince Alfred and the Princess Alice were in the next carriage and four; and the Master of the Household, the Hon. Colonel Grey, and Major General Wemyss, followed in another carriage and four. Her Majesty and Prince Albert were conducted to their carriage by the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, Hon. Misses Paget and Liddell, Lord Rivers, Lord George Lennox, Mr. R. Ormsky Gore. and Major-General Sir Ed ward Bowater. The Royal party left the railway terminus by a special train en route to Osborne House, Isle of Wight. Count de St. Aulaire, the French Ambassador, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. The Earl of Chichester had an interview with Lord Stanley yesterday at the Colonial Office. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England had a meeting yesterday afternoon at the Office in Whitehall-place.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - - West-street, Finsbury-circus, June 19, 1845. SIR,—In your report of the trials before the Secondary of London yesterday, I see that your reporter has, by mistake, stated one of the causes tried as " Holding v. Brooks," in stead of " Holman v. Bruce." I trust you will correct this in your paper of to-day. In other respects the report is sub stantially correct. The Learned Secondary, however, made a remark in reference to the heavy expenses the plaintiff had been put to (50/. for the recovery of 91.), which your reporter has not noticed. _ The observation I allude to was, " that the defendant had no doubt adopted the course she had for the purpose of delay." Inasmuch as cases like the above, which I fear are some what numerous, demonstrate the mischief which the late Act for the abolishment of arrest in actions under 20/., now under the consideration of the Legislature, and protested against by the trading community in general, has, and continues to work ; I may, perhaps, be permitted to add a few words to your re port of the above case. The Act alluded to took away from the creditor one remedy which he had against his debtor, but gave him no equivalent. It continued to allow a fraudulent and litigiously disposed debtor under 201. all his former technical legal chances, left him in possession of all the means he before possessed, of delaying his creditor, and putting him to a series of heavy law charges. Take the case you have reported as an example of the working of the Act. The defendant pleads to the action brought against her, and not only puts the plaintiff to the ex pense of proving every allegation in his declaration, but manu factures what is called a special plea, in addition, of about twenty folios, framed, however, in such a skilful way, that the plaintiff's attorney finds himself in a fix, unable to reply to it in the common form, because he will no doubt be involved in formal difficulties if he does, and have, probably, to pay the de fendant's costs, which he well knows the defendant's attorney is on the look out for. He is, therefore, driven to demur to the defendant's said plea. In other words, to be understood by your non-professional readers, he is obliged to obtain, at a great expense, the decision of the court in which the action is brought, that the said plea is not sufficient in law. That is to say, even if true, it does not amount to an answer to the action. The result is seven or eight months' delay, which in the words of the Learned Secretary, could have been the only object of the defendant. But the final result to the plaintiff is, that he has, in addition to losing his debt, and suffering the above delay, to pay the expenses of defendant's conduct, who decamps with all her effects, and receives her pension as an efficer's widow somewhere in safety, unknown to the plaintiff, who is left without a remedy. Is this fair play, or even handed justice ? I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, W. BOOTH. MONEY and COHMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.)

The performances last evening were for the benefit of Madame Grisi, and, as might have been expected, the house was crowded to excess. The opera was Rossini's Otello, the first time of its performance this season. The cast was the same as last season, and a stronger no lyrical theatre in Europe can furnish. Desdemona was one of the earliest characters in which Grisi ap peared in England, and it still continues to be, if not her very greatest dramatic impersonation, yet among her very greatest characters. She never per formed the character better in her life than she did last evening. Mario surprised the habitues of the opera last season by his Otello. There was a prestige then exist ing that Rubini had made the character so completely his own, that no one could venture, with any chance of suci.;ess, to appear as Otello before the dilettanti who remembered him in the part. Mario, how ever, has completely destroyed that prestige. His Otello is a fine piece of lyrical acting, and in dressing of the part he is perfectly classical, and infiaitely more correct than his predecessor. Fornasari's lago was a fine and vigorous piece of acting, and the Elmiro of Lablache was superb. He gives a whole tragedy in two words. Who that has ever seen and heard him give the Te male dice, can ever forget the sublimity which he throws into that short sentence. The danseuses Viennoises, who have been re-engaged, gave some of their most favourite dances. Castellan, Brambilla, and Moriani appeared in a scene of Linda di Chamouni, and, after that, we had Carlotta Grisi in La Traand,aise, and Lucile Grahn and Perrot in the Mazourha d'.E.ztase. Each succeeding Thursday at the Opera eclipses its predecessor in at traction. ATTPMPTED MURDER AND SUlClDE.—Wednesday morning, about twelve o'clock, the inhabitants of Nottingham street, Bethnal green, were alarmed by the screams of a female, and in a few seconds a woman rushed out of No. 5 deluged in blood, from a frightful wound in the throat, inflicted by her husband with a shoemaker's knife. She was immediately taken to the sur gery of Dr. Moore, and the wounds were dressed by his principal assistant, Mr. Cooper. Durin . , the interval, the man, whose name is Warren, cut his own throat in so severe a manner that he was supposed to be dead; but on examining him at the London Hos pital, to which lie was immediately taken, life was not extinct. He now lies there in a hopeless state. Jealousy of his wife, who is an interesting looking female, twenty years of age, is stated to be the cause ; and from all that cars be ascertained, without founds tion. _on #C Or the "'"'"'"ealel""ee"'"•"o"metettemile""areeemele.""----, ,_ . . . ~ _ nerally.—( Cheers.)
