(,f tree trade on the one side, and the friends of monopoly on the other, were really, as has been stated, a contest between the parti sans of agriculture and those of commerce, then, we must say, we think, the fa vourers of the plough would stand at an immeasurable disadvantage in comparison with those who uphold the loom and shuttle. By their absurd tactics the friends of native agricul ture, as they call themselves, are doing their very best to ruin the cause they espouse. For in stances of what we affirm we have not to look far. Every day furnishes fresh proof of the truth of what we assert, and the more we see the more are we inclined to be of SoLomoN's mind, when lie incredulously inquired " how shall they get understanding whose talk is of bullocks'!" At the Boston Agricultural Protection Society's meeting, on Wednesday last, not a little of this absurd bucolic humour was evinced. Among other notable instances of the folly which man kind have displayed, may be reckoned the sage manifesto put forth by this conclave of Lincoln shire wiseacres on the occasion referred to. But, ridiculous as the petition is, there was one feature of the proceedings even more laughable still, and that was a repudiation on the part of a Mr. GEE and a Mr. MILLINGTON, of the Royal Agri cultural Society's proceedings, by reason of Lord SPENCER'S avowal of free trade sentiments. Probably Messrs. GEE and MILLINGTON con sider that the Royal Agricultural Society will be exceedingly afflicted at the withdrawal of their distinguished patronage. Perhaps it has occurred to these gentlemen that the pursuit of agricultural scithne will have sustained an ir reparable blow by being deprived of their most valuable support. A totally different inference may—we do not . say will—be derived by others from this their proceeding. The attention which Earl SPENCER has uni formly devoted to the interests of British agri culture is too well. known to need any lengthened comment. His success in the science to which be has applied/ his powers, has also been sufficiently attested ; and the position which he occupies—that of President of the Agricultural less a mark of deserved homage to a di;tinguished farm er, than it is advantageous to the Society over which his Lordship presides. If the farmers of Engla nd are going to re pudiate such friends as Lord SPENCER, then we say, much good may they derive from their new acquaintances. Unfortunately there are not sufficient of the class of intelligent and enter ' prising landowners to which Lord SPENCER be longs. If there were the country would be the better off. But the farmers of England are called upon by some of their injudicious coun sellors to abandon Lord SPENCER, because his Lordship advocates principles which would raise them from their present depths of serfdom and insolvency, to the independence and comfort which they ought to enjoy. There may be many noisy speakers at these new Protection to Agriculture meetings, whose pretended devotion to the cause may attract, the attention which is due to other kind of efforts, but the interests of British farming will, it may be relied on, be best promoted when energetic and practical efforts supersede theoretic and declamatory oratory. We hope that the farmers of England will be too wise to imitate generally the example of Messrs. GEE and MILLINGTON, but if they prefer to do as these gentlemen have done, they may rely upon it they themselves will be the chief sufferers. In the police reports it will be seen that a stout young man, " whose whim it is to be nameless for the present," was brought up before Mr. Alderman Gams, on a charge of having exhibited himself in the pub lic streets in masquerade ;—that it is to say, in another person's dress, and, perhaps, property ;—to wit, in a woman's habiliments, of which he had disrobed him self on the stairs of Blackfriars-bridge, on being hard pressed by the inquisitive pursuit and curiosity of a police-constable. When thus dismantled of his lady hood, he came out a sturdy ploughboy, and (a pheno menon which appeared to make a powerful impression on the worthy Alderman) affected to be deaf and dumb. This mumchance exhibition he sustained with creditable fortitude and consistency, till weary of the quarters which he had been invited to take up in the Walbrook station-house, and pressed by the uneasy suggestions of hunger, he articulately demanded of the turnkey, after a few hours' duresse, " when the devil they meant to bring him his breakfast ?" The policeman, struck by this near approach to a miracle, concluded that no man could he so well calculated to unravel the mystery as the sitting Alderman at Guildhall. He took his prisoner, therefore, to the Justice-room; and lo ! the Magistrate on duty proved to be no other than Alderman GIBBS. The Alderman, having a quasi dumb delinquent before him, very naturally asked him, in the first place, "what he had to say for himself ?" The lady-ploughboy main tained his taciturnity, whilst she looked reproachfully, as if astonished by such a question from Alderman GIBBS ; and Alderman GIBBS incontinently remitted him " to solitary confinement in the Compter until he should be in the humour once more to resume his speech ."/ Now really this seems to us to have been all in bad taste and bad measure. It was in bad taste for Mr. Alderman GIBBS to be so severe upon the offence of the ploughboy's double character, and passing him self off for a lady. Why, the reporter himself treats the affair only as one of " masquerading," and the worthy Alderman ought to know that this sort of bifrous identity his own wardmote charge upon HIM! The rate-payers of Walbrook cannot, for their lives, discover whether he is a trustee (they have absolutely negatived the question whether he is trusty), or a perpetual churchwarden ; and, if he be one, or the other, or both, then—for whom ? Not for them assuredly, whether as contributors to the parochial funds, or disbursers of them ; for as to the one, " he makes no sign ;" and as to the other, he gives no accounts. That he is an unaccountable agent, he himself seems to insist ; that he is an unaccountable alderman, churchwarden, and trustee, no man disputes. Now, a churchwarden who will give no satisfaction to his own parishioners in the material questions of the receipts of money, and the application of rates ; a trustee who is obstinately recusant, and means to be so till the advent of some undefined condition of things, as to the mode in which he has administered his trusts; an alderman who sets at defiance the applications and re monstrances of a large body of his own constituency, must be, throughout all these unbecoming relations, himself in very indecorous masquerade. Surely, he does not mean to say that he is maintaining all this time his " proper character?" 'Why, then, so hard upon this " lady-ploughboy" for so absurdly disguising himself ? But then the sturdy ploughboy, having doffed his feminine character, and with it all predisposition to loquacity, is dumb ! Here is the immedicabile minus which the Alderman has received, and which he so roughly resents. What ! a sturdy ploughboy affect to be dumb ? Not answer plain questions from the Bench ? The insult was too palpable and personal. It was playing Alderman GIBBS off upon GIBBS, Alderman ; and bringing into odium and suspicion en art which must become contemptible if practised by obscure pretenders to character. No. Well enough if general open meetings of inhabitants will put such irrelevant and trifling interrogatories, to gowned trustees and treasurers and churchwardens, as respects the disposal of moneys and the manage ment of parochial property and affairs, for the gets togata to turn round, with more than aldermanic dignity, and dumb found all complainants by a lofty reserve, a silence all but unbroken. Well enough to meetings of select vestrymen, so accurately con vened and scrupulously admitted, that parish con stables stand by to see that none but the veritable i mper s mifications of the select, who are thoroughly known to them, pass into the vestry-room, where the per petual churchwarden must meet, and may pacify them; but for an unknown vagrant masquerader— with half his character (the lady's) visibly deposited in the basket of clothes found upon his arm, and the other half yet to be accounted for—to dare to be dumb in the presence of the most frank, open, and ingenuous of Civic magistrates ! no wonder Alderman GIBBS resented the indignity, and sent him to the Compter till he should be in the humour once more to resume his speech. It is very strange that the ratepayers of Walbrook are anxious to know—desiring precisely this sort of consummation of the Alderman's taciturnity—whither it is he proposes to go himself ? The Marquis of WESTMINSTER, it will be observed, has signalised the commencement of the new year, by the munificent donation of 500/. to the " Great Fund" of the Anti-Corn-law League. If there had been any reasonable doubt before of the Noble Mar quis's adhesion to the principles and the object of the League, this costly evidence of his decided approba tion of its views, and his sanction of its course, would suffice to set that doubt at rest. But his Lordship's letter, covering this subscription, is a document that carries the expression of approval to the language of hearty congratulation. It is a very characteristic letter. The strong good sense and manly simplicity which used to distinguish, in years past, the well re membered speeches of the Marquis in Parliament, are conspicuous, here, in every line. The receipt of so re markable a communication must form a memorable feature in the history of the League. The almost regal income of the Marquis, and the very extensive influence which his public acts are calculated to ex ercise (not only on account of his great wealth, and his vast landed property, but also because of his ac knowledged judgment, experience, and sagacity, in all questions of domestic economy and legis lation), impart a character of almost public authority, as well as of public interest, to his denunciation of the corn-law monopoly. Even the landed interest itself—that portion of it which still obstinately adheres to the principle of pro tection to home-grown corn, and the bungling imbe cility of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S " sliding-scale,"—cannot fail seriously to consider, that if there were really any substantial benefit to the landowner or farmer in re taining such mischievous absurdities on the statute book, the Marquis of WESTMINSTER must have all the reason in the world to uphold them,—at least, so far as considerations of his own personal advantage might influence him. Now, we will not put this view of the question on any principle to be deter mined by the greater or the less degree of bias which interested views might exercise on the opinions of this particular individual. We shall assume that he would be as much swayed by a regard " to his own interest," as it is called, in looking at this matter, as any other opulent landowner ;—that he would be as much governed by an universal impulse of our nature as any of his own tenantry,— neither more nor less, But it will hardly be denied to us, that a public man who has, through out a long and very able career, developed such powers as the Noble Marquis has brought to bear in the House of Lords (we may select for our illustra tion, the debates on the Pains and Penalties Bill against Queen CAROLINE in 1821, especially as to the exclusion of her MAJESTY'S name from the Li turgy ; those on the Repeal of the Test and Corpora tion Acts in 1828, and those, again, on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill in 1829), may be supposed to form an accurate estimate of the real working of any fiscal or financial project. Observe how briefly and distinctly he disposes of the Customs Duty question, in calculating the effect of losing the amount of reve nue now received into the State coffers from the occasional imports of foreign corn : " As to the duty—that it is said would be lost to the eoun try, if not insisted on—l am satisfied that such would be the prosperity of all classes from the abolition of this impost, such the advantage that would accrue to all the moneyed concerns of the community, that, in a very short time, the general wealth would be so far augmented that the national revenue would outrun the amount of any duty that has been proposed, whe ther 35., bs. , or Bs." What Sir ROBERT PEEL'S opinion on this point is, —the most unpleasant upon which the view of a First Lord of the Treasury, governed by the or dinary feelings of Ministerial leaders, can rest — it is not for us to anticipate. But we warn him, notwithstanding the smart array of im proved receipts which appears in the financial statement just published, that the people will not continue to pay the agricultural taxes to which they are at present subject, nor the enormous Excise and Customs taxation which so scandalously increases the charge of the first necesssaries of life, and of those other articles of consumption and food which custom and the care of their health have almost incorporated into this class of necessaries. From his productive property and income tax (by which, during the last year, he has managed to squeeze out of the recesses of John Bull's exhausted pockets no less than five millions and a quarter (!) in addition to assessed and all other taxes), the Premier will assuredly have to provide for some such coming de - mands as the repeal of the whole, or the greater por tion, of the malt duty; of the duties on tea, sugar, coffee, &c. And as to the duty on foreign corn, the " handwriting on the wall " has already shadowed forth the prediction that it has gone from him. Lord WESTMINSTER has now expounded the intimation for him, with a perspicuity calculated to silence the last efforts of Treasury scepticism. But, perhaps, our high-spirited and capacious minded Premier is solacing himself, still, with some secret hope that he may yet charm to a grim repose the now excited and angry vigilance of the over burdened people. Haply he trusts to allay the ap proaching tempest of their discontent, (whose coming is announced by muttered "curses—not loud but deep" —upon the selfish legislation which paralyses our domestic industry, impoverishes and starves our native artisans, cramps and depresses our commercial enterprise, and clogs the healthful action of the na tional industry with unnatural restraints and factitious impediments, and monopolitical checks) —by some new devices of his " lulling craft." Vain of his suc cess in political Mesmerism, he speculates, it may be, on as quietly casting the high spirit of the British public into a dreamy torpor and patient inanition,—as if he were plausibly prosing to Tamworth farmers about some day " buying them the best bull in all Bir mingham," for the amelioration of their stock. Perhaps he hopes to extend his school of dupes from tythings and hundreds to counties; from counties to cities; from cities to the broad limits of the whole United King dom. But the days of shadow-catching are over. He will not tempt the farm labourers of his own manor, again, to any such amusement, unless they have previous demonstration and experience of the fact that he has repealed the giant grievance of the existing corn-laws. If, however, Sir ROBERT PEEL will not do us the honour to listen to our assurances, let him take what comfort he can from the Marquis of WESTMINSTER. That Noble Lord goes at once to the cream of the practical question, and extinguishes tke whole puppet-show delusion of recent landlord and tenant festivals, with a straightforwardness o pnrpose, and a simple vigour of expression, that re mind us of some of the best hits of COBBETT in his best time. We have always given, and shall con. tinue to do so, full credit to the great landowners who meet, at agricultural dinners, the farmers and graziers of their vicinity, for the sincerity of the expressions of good feeling and sympathy which they are in the habit of addressing, on such occasions, to their tenantry and fellow-guests. But these interchanges of feeling and good will, valuable as they are, will never go to the remedying of our existing distresses, till the incu bus of a corn-law monopoly is removed. Until that he done, landlords—nobles or commoners—must put up with such stern truths as thes e It may be all very well" (writes the Noble Marquis) "at agricultural meetings, to talk of the advantages of long leases, of tile draining, &c., and to drink the health of the labourers; but to what good effect? Long leases are, in cer tain districts, and under certain well-known circumstances, desirable enough ; good draining has long been understood and pramiscd, where there have been sufficient means, sufficient enterprise, and a soil requiring it; praise has no doubt been deservedly lavished upon the farm labourers; but there is something still to be done much more important to them, which is, to give them the means of obtaining an independent livelihood, solid pudding being preferable to empty praise, and this cannot be effected without the abrogation of these mis chievous enactments." The idle clergy of St. Paul's Cathedral, who are well paid for writing sermons and performing reli gious duties, have lately fallen upon a new plan to catch the public on Sundays. The whole of the body of the church is railed off, so that no one can walk in the magnificent area below the dome or along the nave and aisles. All must move on like sheep to the choir. If they attempt to pass they are stopped by one of the menials, who says, "no thoroughfare." At another place one of these money-takers, for they seem to be the individuals appointed by the clergy to take the twopences for admission on other days, is seen holding an iron gate half open, ready to allow the exit of a chorister, or a parson from the interior, and to close it against any profane layman who may venture to intrude. This Christian temple is penned all round like Smithfield, and has more the appearance of a cattle market than a place for the performance of Divine worship. Thus, by a conclave of indolent monks, the public, at whose expense this splendid building was erected, are prevented from seeing the monuments for which they have also paid, and must either be imprisoned to witness the monotonous ceremonies, or be forced out into the street. If the clergy did their duty, as in Catholic countries, the people would he anxious to listen to their ministrations, and would show reverence to them and the Church, but they will not be religious .by compulsion. It is a disgrace to the country, that one of the finest temples in Christendom should be used, not for religious purposes, or for cherishing pa triotism, but for putting money into the coffers of the Dean and Chapter. Madrid journals of the 29th have been received from which we learn that meetings, both of the Con servative and Reform parties, had been held to discuss the late ordonnance of the QUEEN. A deputation of the former, consisting of MM. OLIVAN, POSADA, NOSEDAL, and others, waited upon M. GONZALES BRAVO, and demanded some explanation of the in tentions of the Government, and also some informa tion of the programme which it was said they were to publish. M. GONZALES BRAVO assured the Depu tation that it was his intention to govern constitu tionally. He said he had prorogued the Cortes merely for the purpose of hastening some mea sures which were important and urgent, and those more especially which had reference to the pro vincial deputations and the organisation of the National Guard, and he added that three weeks or a month would be sufficient for these prelimi nary labours, and that he would then call toge ther the Cortes, and ask for a bill of indemnity. The answer satisfied the deputatioH, and they retired. At the meeting of the other party, Senor MADoz being called to the chair, a proposition was made to issue a manifesto to the nation. This was judged in expedient by the Chairman, and the plan was aban doned. A Committee, however, was formed, con sisting of CORTINA, AIADoz, and SERRANO, who are to take legal steps to oppose the despotic acts of the Ge vernment. Several of the individuals committed on a charge of attempting to assassinate NARVAEZ, had made their escape from prison. The Three per Cents. were done on the 29th at 25 5-16, at sixty days ; the Four per Cents. at 18 ; and the Five per Cents. at 20i, for cash. The accounts from Paris now leave no doubt that the Government have given up all intentions of pro • posing a pension for the Duke of NEMOURS as Regent. The Mc ,tubers of the Chamber of Deputies had been sounded, and as all the Opposition Members, and a considerable number of M. GuizoT's friends were hostile to the measure, it has been considered more prudent to wait for another session. The Committee of the Chamber of Peers met on Wednesday, when the druft of the Address, drawn up by the Duke of BROG'i,IE, was read and adopted. It was to be presented to the House on Friday, but the clisevission will not take place till the Bth inst. The Presse says the Duke has inserted a paragraph relative to the pilgrimages to London, which would probably compel the Marquis DE DREUX .BREZE, to defend the conduct of his political friends. If we are to believe the National, the French Government are afraid of an invasion from the Duke of BORDEAUX. "We learn," it says, "from C'any, near St. Valery-en-Caux, that an active watch is kept up along the coast. The posts are rein forced at all the places where a landing can be effected, and :supplies of arms and ammunition are conveyed thither. All these precautions, we are assured, are adopted against not less than an invasion of the Pre tend er. The Custom-house officers, gendarmerie, and cruizers have a great deal to do to calm the terror of the Government." This is a very improbable story, for though the Duke of BORDEAUX, who is to arrive at Brighton this day, might easily make a voyage to the French coast, we cannot believe that even BotuasoN folly would lead him to take a step which would make him a fellow-prisoner at Ham with tha bright adventurer, Louis NAPOLEON. The follow ing article from the Courrier Francais is the only one worth extracting. M. TRIERS and his party seem to believe that the KING and his Minister have been so bittten by Queen VICTORIA that, by and bye, they will address the Chambers in the , English language : " On Tuesday, in the bureaux, M. Thiers demanded an ex planation of the meaning of the words cordial understand ing' between the Governments of England and France. The Minister of Foreign Affairs replied, that after having dis cussed each question they understood one another. Without offence to the Ministre acadssicien, this answer is no more than a jeu de wits. Understanding,' in the sense in which it is used in the speech from the throne, is very rarely so used in diplomatic idiom, and more rarely by us in the ordi nary expression of our sentiments. But it is the literal translation of an English word constantly employed in this acceptation. If, then, M. Thiers, no less an academicien than M. Guizot, insists upon knowing the difference between cordial understanding,' and close alliance or friendship,' he may convince himself without any trouble, or, as we may say, ' understand each other like thieves at a fair;' but the expression cordial understanding' is a pure angli cism, created, no doubt, during the Royal effusions at Eu, and applied to the speech from the throne by M. Guisot with the assent of Al. Villemain. Thus the close alliance between the two nations, in 1843, has been baptised with a British name. This is certainly flattering to England. What would we have ? If we are to believe the English papers, there can be no safety for France but in a full renewal of her alliance with England. According to them this was the profound con viction of the King of tile French, expressed with emphasis. In these papers the King is treated more respectfully than be fore. Far be it from us to lay the least restriction upon the homage paid to his courage and political sagacity. How, then, are all these eulogiums to be divided in halves between the Throne and the Cabinet? Is the praise addressed to the King to be only a passport to the praises conferred upon the Ministry, while the Parliament, the country, all France, in fine, disap pears from the vision of those fulsome flatterers on the other side of the Channel, who thus extol the alliance between the two nations? Who amongst us will believe in the sincerity of desire of the English to see their friendship again flourishing ?

Two prizes have come up, the Independicia, 199 tons, Brazi lian brigantine, taken by the Madagascar, and since con demned ; and the Tenerario, Brazilian built, taken by the Rapid at Bermuda, with '290 slaves. There was a schooner coming up, taken by the Madagascar. The Senator transport left this on the 23€1 of November with 130 emigrants, for fri iaidad. THE Fox FRIGATE. —A fine youth, grandson of Earl Grey, awd son of John C. Balteel, Esq. , Fleet House, Devon, and Lady Elisabeth Bulteel, died en Sunday morning at Tarbert ( Lower Shannon), of scarletina, en board the Fox frigate, to which vessel he was attached as midshipman. There are several cases of epidemic amongst the crew of the Fox. The Kerry tenantry of her gallant captain, Sir H. Blackwood, went through Listowel, on St. Stephen's-day, well mounted, on their way to Tarbert, to visit their landlord. Sir Henry, on hearing of their arrival, sent two of his boats to bring them on board the frigate, where they were plentifully regaled with substantial fare. On Saturday an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Wheat Sheaf or R a il wa 'Tavern, Lower Chapman street, on the remains of Mr George West, a stone-mason and . builder, and on hee of t mosl respectable inhabitants of the parish, aged 63. Four witness es -were called, but their evi dence merely amounted to the fact of the deceased being in his usual good health at eight o'clock on Thursday evening, his going from his own house to the o ter shop of Mr. Arno!d, in Cannon-street-road, and after eatings four or five oysters, he exclaimed, " Oh ! oh !" and instantly e xpired.—erdit, died by the " Visitation of God." The deceased will be a serious loss to many poor persons in his neighb ou rhood, to whom he had been a kind benefa c t or , an d i t i s ass erted that, besides his contributions to various charities, he had been in the constant habit of giving away in private charity from 21. to 31. a week. He was a trustee of Raines's Hundred Pound School, and a donor to the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum, as well as a liberal supporter of all the public school s in the neighbourhood. DEATH OF COUNCILLOR M.LCAULAY.—We regret to announce the death of this gentleman, which took place on Friday night, at his house in Windmill-street. He had been in delicate health for a considerable time past, and for the last two weeks was confined to his bed. He had been a member of the Council for the last five years, and for seven years was a Commissioner of Police, He could not be properly classed as a member of any of the parties that divide our municipal politics, but his sympathies for the . poor could always be calculated on. His exertions to ameliorate content with . being a their condition were unceasing ; and not member of committees formed for their benefit, he administered frequently frequently to their necessities with his own hands. I s. f the li "" rominent member of the Committee for re-le o th t a capacity unem ployed poor, when it was first formed, and in their labours • attended daily in the eneadowsand superintended but it is not so generally known that h e also formed , at his own risk, and almost at his own expense , a fund for the em em- ployment of destitude females, whom he . employed in the e making up of old garments in a house of his own in Macaulay square. Since Since the prevalence of the fever, Mr. was amongst the foremost in striving to allevicte the suffer ings of the poorer classes. In particular he had for months past aroused the attention of the citizens to the condition of convalescents from the fever, many of whom, when dismissed from the hospital, were without a home, and scan tily clad. With the view of succouring these for lorn objects, Mr. Macaulay collected a great quan tity of old clothes, &c., from his fellow-citizens, and it was his daily employment to distribute these among the recipients of this charity, according to their respective wants. His death was caused by typhus fever, which, it is conjec tured, was cau g ht in the course of his visits among ' the destitute and diseased poor.—Ediaury4 Courant.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 8, 1844. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vubitt Optntott. " Who runs may read." FOESEIGN. A further rise took place in the French funds on Thursday, when the Three per Cents. closed at 82f. 85c., and the Fives at 124 f. 65c. No Bill will be proposed in the French Chambers this ses sion for a pension to the Duke of Nemours. The Tribunal of First Instance has declared itself incom petent to decide on the claim of Louis Napoleon against the public Treasury for the sum of 1,800,000 f. According to a calculation in the Patrie, the cost to France of the conquest and occupation of Algeria amounts to 670 mil lions of francs. On the other hand the Government has re ceived-1 st, the treasure taken at Algiers, and the treasure of the materiel, estimated together at 54,737,000; and 2d, in revenue, from 1831 to 1843, a sum of 46,000,000, making the total loss hitherto sustained 569,263,000 f. (22,400,0001.) The Frankfort journals of the Ist announce the arrival in that city of the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Mary, her daughter. The Prussian State Gazette, of Dec. 31, publishes a royal ordonnance far organising benevolent societies. As a preliminary measure, it restores the ancient order of the Swan, founded by the Elector Frederick 11. New statutes are to be drawn up, and a council is to be formed to direct the efforts of the society. The King and the Queen are to be at the head of the Order, and all other benevolent societies are to be subject to the direc tion of that of the Swan. A letter from Rome announces the death in that city, on the 23d ult., of General Paskewitsch, brother of the Governor- General of Warsaw. The Augsburgh Gazette states from Rome, Dec. 22, that the Papal Government has ordered a levy of men for the army, for the purpose of placing it on a footing to resist any attempt that may be made to disturb public order. Accounts from Athens of the 19th ult. state that the National Assembly had concluded its preliminary arrange ments, and was preparing to discuss the draught of the Consti tution. The greatest tranquillity prevailed throughout Greece. LAW' 11.1‘D POLICE. At the Chester assizes Samuel Maddock, 53, tailor, was charged with the wilful murder of Matthias Bailey, game keeper to George Wilbraham, Esq.. of Delamere House, on the 28th day of July, at Crowton. The jury found him Not Guilty. . . . George Fox, aged 35, was charged at the same assizes with the wilful murder of his wife, Charlotte Fox, at Stockport, on the Ist of December last. The jury found him guilty of man slaughter, and the Learned Judge sentenced him to two years' hard labour. William Christey, a Custom-house agent, was brought before the Lord Mayor by Inspector Waller, upon a warrant, charged with having been concerned in frauds committed at the Cus tom-house. The prosecution is instituted by the Board of Customs, and he is charged with returning a smaller amount of sugar than that chargeable on certain goods imported. He was released on giving heavy bail to appear and take his trial at the Central Criminal Court. James Bovington, aged 29, and William Andrews, two re spectable-looking mechanics, were indicted at the Surrey ses sions for feloniously stealing on the 23d of December last, 128 pounds of brass, fixed in a mill or building, the property of the Right Hon. Beaumont Lord Hotham and Sir George Henry Frederick Berkeley, K.C.B. They were found guilty, but their counsel moved an arrest of judgment, on the ground that one of the parties in the indictment was wrongly described. The case will be argued on the first day of term before the judges at Westminster. A summons having been applied for and obtained at Marl borough-street against the coachman of Count Pollon, the Sardinian Minister, for refusing to pay the reward adjudged to the firemen who attended to extinguish a fire which occurred at the Sardinian Minister's stables, the sitting magistrate re ceived a note from his Excellency, stating that the defendant was his servant, and that he pleaded his privilege as an Am bassador to protect him from any process, the demand being an unjust one. The summons was therefore cancelled. COVET-P.O.SUIONABLE. Her Majesty has been graciously pleased t. become the patron of the Royal Metropolitan Hospital for Sick Children in Broad-street, Golden-square. Earl Grey continues to go on well ; and it is stated that in the event of no unfavourable change taking place, his Lordship will leave Howick and arrive in London some time next month. Lord Brougham is expected to arrive in Grafton-street, on the 20th inst., from his chateau near Cannes, where his Lord ship has been entertaining company. The Duke of Wellington and Duke of Buccleuch are ex pected in town early this week. The Duke of Richmond and Lady Caroline Lennox, Earl and Countess of March, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Montgomery, Sir C. Taylor, Sir C. Burrell, Lord Gifford, Mr. and Mrs. Shirley, Mr. W. Burrell, and a numerous circle, have been staying at Petworth House, on a visit to Colonel and Mrs. Wyndham, since Wednesday afternoon. Earl Fitzhardinge has gone to the villa at Cheltenham, from Berkeley Castle. The Noble Earl's hounds have been removed from the kennels at the Castle, for Cheltenham, and are to hunt that country till the close of the month. The Earl and Countess of Morley have been seeing company at Saltram, Devon. The Noble Earl was invited by Sir David Milne to dine with his Royal Highness the Duke of Bordeaux, when at Plymouth, Lord Aylmer, Lady Catherine Fellowes, and Mir s Fellowes, Lord Churchill, Sir John Duckworth, Bart., Lady Duntze, Sir George Adams, Mr. Reginald Macdonald, and abonit 300 of the gentry of the county of Devon, were present as the annual race ball at the subscription rooms, Exeter, on Tuesday last. PI2ESCELL4 .NEOII7. We understand that Mr. Wakley issued a regular delaration of war, at an inquest on Friday, against the press, which appears to have given great offence by its observations CM the Coroner's proceedings with regard to Lieutenant Monro's fale. It is stated that most extensive alterati9ns are about to take place in the offices connected with the Excise, iaith a view to a reduction of the number of persons employed -in that branch of the Government. Amongst others, it is rurra•eured that the Corresponding and Audit offices are to be abolished, and to be consolidated with the Secretary department. According to Mr. Murphy, yesterday was to have been the coldest dly in the year 1844. A conliderable quantity of new sovereigns, half-sovereigns, ard silver coinage, has been received at the Bank during the last week from the Royal Mint, in anticipation of the demand that is likely to be made for the new gold coinage. The annual meeting of the Boston Agricultural Association was held on Wednesday, when Mr. R. Calthrop, proposed the adoption of a petition to the Legislature, prayiin for a conti nuance of the bread monopoly, which was agreed: to. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting upon the necessity of keeping up the protective duties, and deprecating any relaxation of the corn-lasts. A memorial has been addressed to her Majesty's Government by the Chairman of the East India and China Aitsociation of Liverpool, praying for a reduction of the duty on tea to Is. per lb., on the principle of its leading to a great increase in the consumption of tea, independently of the political and com mercial results to be derived from the proposed dim inution. The Eastern Counties Herald states, that in. - various parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, highway robberies, sheep steal. ing, and other crimes against property, are on the increase, to an extent that manifests a great social disorga.nisation in the rural districts. The new light-house at Scarborough, which is higher than the former, now not only casts an improved light on the sea, but casts a beautiful light also on the harbour and, on the sands. Lady Byron intends to have a considerable quantity of land apportioned amongst the poor, early in the ensuing spring, for the purpose of being tilled under the allotment system. A Free-Trade meeting was held at Bolton on Wednesday night last, at which about 500 persons were present. Mr. Gregson presided, and Colonel Thompson, Mr.. Cobden, and Mr. Moore, were the principal speakers. The amount col lected was 1,205/. 4s. 9d. The several speakers were very loudly cheered. THE MARQUIS OF WESTMINS'TER AND THE ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE. The following remarkable letter, announcing a donation of 500/. to the Anti-Corn-law League, has been forwarded to us for publication : " Eaton Hall, Jan. 1, 1844. " Sir, —Having on a former occasion. /expressed to you my anxious wishes for your success in the arduous contest with monopoly in which you are engaged, I cannot refuse myself the pleasure of congratulating you upon the rapid progress you have since made in the struggle with that formi dable adversary. " As you hare found your foe to be daring and resolute, so have your energies increased in a wonderful manner; and, in spite of opposition ; you have carried the war most effectually into the enemy's strongholds. With such vigorous and sustained efforts, the victory must be yours; and my hopes of ultimate triumph, and that at no very distant date, therefore, mach exceed my fears of failure. As to the duty that it is said would be lost to the country, if not insisted on, I am satisfied that such would be the prosperity of all classes from the abolition of this impost, such the advantage that would accrue to all the monied concerns of the community, that, in a very short time, the general wealth would be so far augmented that the national revenue would outrun the amount of any duty that has been proposed, whether/35., 55., or Bs. " It may be all very well, at agricultural meetings, to talk of the advantages of long leases, of tile draining, &c., and to drink the health of the labourers ; but to what good effect? Long leases arc, in certain districts, and under certain well-known circumstances, desirable enough ; good draining has long been under stood and practised, where there have been sufficient means, sufficient enterprise, and a soil requiring it; praise has no doubt been deservedly lavished upon the farm labourers ; but there is something still to be done much more important to them, which is, to give them the means of obtaining an honest and independent livelihood, solid pudding being far preferable to empty praise, and this cannot be effected without the abrogation of these mischievous enactments. " I have much pleasure in sending a contribu tion of 500/. to your fund; and I venture to ex press a hope that you will not relax your endea vours until you have obtained from Government, in whatever hands it may happen to be, the fullest measure of free trade compatible with what is due to the maintenance of public credit. " I remain, Sir, your most obedient Servant, •` WESTMINSTER. "George Wilson, Esq., Chairman of the Council of the National Anti-Corn-law League." Professor Johnson, of the Durham University, is now, at the request of the Duke of Northumberland, deliver ing lectures to his Grace's tenantry on agriculture and che mistry of soils. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NE WS (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) There was no change yesterday in the Liverpool Cotton Market, and prices remained as previously quoted. Sales 5,000 bags. Shares were not quite so brisk, and prices rather tended downwards. Eastern Counties were 10/ ; Great North of England, 85/; Great Western, Fifths, 19k; Birmingham, New Thirds, 2r4; Brighton, 434 ; South Western, 76; Mid land Counties, 874; North Midland, 91 l ; South Eastern, 36i ; Do. New, 36 3 / 4 ; Paris and Orleans, 33*; Do. and Lyons, 31. 6s. 6d. There were some later accounts in town this morning from Buenos Ayres, but the news beyond that published in another column is not of any general interest. The state of trade is spoken very unfavourably of, and, indeed, there was little hope of improvement while the hostile movements commanded so much attention and restricted commercial operations. The returns relative to the quarter's revenue, and the re commencement of the purchase of Stock and Exchequer Bills by the Government brokers, out of surplus income—never mind how derived, say the Bulls in the Exchange—has given an additional interest to the transactions in the funds. The purchase of Stock for the next quarter will, it is true, be small—only 27,1351.—but full 200,0001. are to be laid out in the redemption of Exchequer Bills. And as the Unfunded Debt is diminished, so will the Funded Debt be enhanced. The absorption of Stock at a period when Consols, with the dividend and Reduced Three per Cents., are within 3to2A of par must have an influence on values. There were private transfers made in all the stocks that have been shut previously to the payment of the dividends. Three per Cent. Consols have been done at 96/ and at 97A ex-div. the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 101} to 1014 ; and Long Annuities (to run till 1860) at 12i. The Cammissioners did not buy any stock this morn ing. As this is the first private transfer day, the stock market will not be closed till four o'clock, the Bank of England allowing transfers till half-past two, a press of business having been calculated upon. Exchequer bills are at 695. premium, and India Bonds at 81s. premium. Bank Stock has reached 187, but is now 1 per cent, lower. Spanish Bonds have advanced this morning. The Three per Cents. to 30a 4, and the Consols to 22i I v Dutch Bonds are much the same as yesterday. Mexican have risen to 33, but are now 324 ; the Deferred at 94 ; and Passive Spa nish at 5-A. A slight decline has taken place in some of the Railway Shares this morning. The principal alterations are a fall from 138 to 137 premium in the London and Birmingham, and in the Bristol and Exeter to 4% discount. The York and North Midland (Scarborough Branch) have realised 15 premium ;1 and the Edinburgh and Glasgow, 8 premium. Anglo-Mexican Mint Shares have been sold at 3 premium ; and Unregistered Real Del 11onte at 4% per share. We have no quotations to furnish for Joint Stock Bank Shares to-day. MANCHESTER STOCZ EXCHANGE, JAN. s.—The market is quiet to-day, and prices generally have a downward ten dency. Our quotations are :—Eastern Counties Scrip, 13k; London and Birmingham, 321.

CRONlN.—The jury on the inquest held on the body of the Very Rev. J. A. Cronin, who was found drowned near Merchant's Quay, Cork, have returned the following verdict :—" We find that the de ceased was accidentally drowned in the river Lee on last night, and, from the evidence, we find he was subject to vertigo and occasional loss of sight, having a tendency to apoplexy, which we believe may have led to the melancholy event." TUE LORD LIEUTENANCY OF SUFFOLK.—We are enabled to confirm the rumoured resignation by the Duke of Grafton of the Lord Lieutenancy of the county of Suffolk. The resignation of the Noble Duke was conveyed to Sir R. Peel the week before last. We have every reason to believe that the appointment has been conferred upon the Marquis of Bristol, a Nobleman possessing large property iu the county, DUTCH, FLANDERS, AND HAJ. II BURGH MAIL. THE DANUBE, DEC. 21.—Our late statement le." specting the neglect of the Sulina mouth of the Da" nube has been confirmed in a melancholy man' ner, for the violent storm which raged in the Black Sea at the end of October and the beginning of No vember, and in which above twelve merchantmen and many lives were lost, several ships which were in great danger attempted to anchor at Sulina, but on account of the shallowness of the channel were forced to put out to sea, when two of them perished in the storm, and others, with great losses of cargoes and da mage to the tackling, with much difficulty reached distant parts. At Sulina there were lying at anchor, for weeks together, a great number of ships with full cargoes (on one day above 100) waiting till there should be a sufficient depth of water in the channel to enable them to go to sea. The numerous complaints of the Austrian shipowners, to which those of the Da' nube Steam Navigation Company aye now added,•will certainly induce the Austrian Government to take some decided steps (if it has not already done so) to obtain from Russia the adoption of measures to make the channel in the Sulina mouth passable, without d 5 mage, for large vessels.—Cologne Gazette. The Gazette delle hole lonie contains the following article :—" A ship under Turkish colours, coming from Bengasi, and bound to Candia, arrived on the 14th of Nov. in the harbour of Zante. On board there were three Afahometan merchants, who, having purchased slaves in the market of Bengasi, intended to convey them to other places, in hopes of great profit by this inhuman traffic. The Government, being informed of this fact, has, by virtue of the power g iven it by the 11th Act of the second Parliament, declared the slaves to be free, and has given up the ships to the Turkish Vice-Consul." BRUSSELS, JAN. 4.—The average price of wheat during the week ending Dec. 30, 1843, was 17f. 60C., and that of rye 1 lf. 14c.

SIR,—I am an experimental farmer on a small scale (abet 25 large Cheshire acres); during the three years I have bees farming I have used almost all kinds of real and artificial Ina: nures—guano amongst the rest. The result of one experirneav was as follows :—A meadow of four large Cheshire acres, stroll; brown loam of about 12 inches in depth, with a clay sub-sot' very good herbage, and in good condition, on one-third ( 1 which I sowed 5 cwt. of guano, costing 605.; on another third I spread 15 tons of stable-dung, at the expense of 5/, ss. ; tb_ e i remaining third I covered with 10 tons of privy soil, O: with 20 cart-loads of road scrapings, which, together with d l o expense of mixing, cost 50s. (the scrapings being . made ne,,, to the land) : I mowed on the 30th of July, and in order w carry out my experiment I stacked each separately. The Pa rs manured with guano produced 4 tons of long coarse soft haif; such as the land had never before yi e lded. Th a t on w hieb i j stable-dung had been put produced 5 1 / 2 tons of fine hay, 1 11 ":4 all the choice kinds of grapes. From th e rema i n d er , ma nor with the privy, &c., I procured 54 tons, similar in every r e• spect to that produced from stable-dung. L „, • On the 7th of September I again mowed the same field ;. guano part yielded 21 tons ; that manured w ith s table -d' produced 4 tons ; and from the land on which I spread O f privy and scrapings I obtained 4 tons, of the three kinds ° similar quality to the first crop. Intending to write you the result of the experiment on thee 30th of the last month, I went to view the field, and found t ; parts which had been manured with the stable-dung and Pri v green as Midsummer, white clover, rib-grass, con-grass, a?, many other kinds of choice grapes ; strong, and from four six inches in length. The guano part was brown and as bag as a wilderness ; not a herb upon it, except couch-grass, n'''" that scarcely alive ; I shall be compelled to plough it for p O4 ; toes. On the 20th of October I comm ence d g i v i ng t h e A,r'" crap to six of my coos, each two from a separate stac k (turror , and ground oats were given in equal quantities to each cosc) c i they yielded at that time five quarts of milk each. night en morning ; at the end of three weeks those two fed with the b a t produced by guano yielded only two quarts each per mea t whilst the others had not lessened in the least ; seeing that , gave up the use of the inferior hay, and a lth oug h g ood lieL d i selling here at 4/. per ton, I could only obtain 2/, lOs. per for it. The value of the crop stands thus : GUANO. 4€ S. 11. - 6 6i tons of hay, at 50s Deduct cost of guano £l2 12 STABLE-DUNG. n 9i tons of hay, at 80.
