CHELSEA BUN-HOUSE.—This building, so ce brated in bygone times, is now razed, and its fragments lie scattered on the site whereon it so long stood. The same reason that called for the demolition of that ancient structure, namely, the public convenience, exists for the removal of an adjacent nuisance in the shape of a toll. gate, the only use of which is to incumber the ground, and ° ,, cas;nnally to catch a penny from those few persons who do ' not dive rge a littl e , b y ta ki ng Westbourne.strect. The " West London Boot and Shoemakers Charter Association" have published an Address to the Trades of London. . Wednesday evenin g an inquest was held at the Guildford Arms, Guildfo r rd ; str cfe t, Brunswick-square, on the body of Robert Roper, aged an innkeeper extensive an tensive way o f busi4s e ss ii who . squ d are i .at his residence, deeeased No. 3, Lansdowne-place, Ruse it appeared, retired to bed in his usual health on Friday n i g ht la-t, and on breakfast being ready ne xt morninr, his daughter went to call him, when the found him dead'and cold. Verdict—" Natural death." In reply to questions from Lord BROUGHAM, Lord MELBOURNE gave an assurance, which Lord BROUGHAM pronounced to be satisfactory, that what while we en deavour to maintain peace between the PORTE and MEFIENILT ALI, we are to preserve the strictest neu trality. Their Lordships did no other business, except presentin g p e t i tionl. In the House of Commons, Mr. WOOD brought un der notice, by command of the Public Petition Commit tee, the fact that a considerable number of petitions were lithographed, and he wished for the instructions of the House on the subject. Printed petitions are con trary to the orders of the House, and it was inferred that lithographed petitions fall under the same ban. After sonic conversation it was settled that the sub ject should again be brought under the notice of the House on Tuesday next. Sir ROBERT PEEL announced his intention of op posing the Ministers on the Jamaica Bill on Monday. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Mr. HOME, stated that he should be able in the next fortnight to state what be meant to do on the subject of Joint Stock Banks. In a fortnight, Mr. HUME is to bring forward a motion to inquire into the conduct of the Bank of England. Mr. CRESWELL referred to the Danish claims, and inquired whether there was not to be another Report. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER S..id it Would lie with the House to determine. Mr. MACKINNON after describing the great merits of Mr. FOURDRINIER, and expatiating on the advantages of his invention to the country, and the injury it had caused to the inventor, moved that the report of the Committee on the subject be taken into consideration. Some discussion took place as to the form of the motion, and then Mr. MACKINNON moved to refer the matter to a Committee of the whole House, it being a money question. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, though be threw doubts on the propriety of giving any money to Mr. FOURDRINIER, consented to the motion, declaring that he would subsequently state the opinions of Mi nisters. Sir R. PEEL was opposed to the motion. Mr. PItYMZ said Mr. FOURDRINIER was a martyr to the Patent Laws. After some conversation, Mr. MAC KINNON withdrew his motion. Mr. HAWES brought on the case of DAVID JONES the Churchwarden of Llanon, now in Carmarthen gaol. The Hon. Member entered at considerable length into the subject, condemned the conduct of our Ecclesiastical Courts, and concluded by moving a resolution, " That, in conformity with the recommenda tion of the Commissioners on Ecclesiastical Courts in England and Wales, this House is of opinion that the jurisdiction of all the Inferior Ecclesiastical Courts should be abolished without delay." Mr. PRYME suggested to add the words, " or modi fied." Mr. JONES explained and vindicated the conduct of Mr. MORRIS, the Vicar. Mr. DARBY, finding the subject an unpleasant one to the Church, moved the pre% ious question. Sir S. LUSHINGTON and the CHANCELLOR Of the Ex- CHEQUER supported Mr. HAWES'S motion. After some attempt at opposition on the part of the Ultras, and some speeches on both sides, the resolution was agreed to, with a modification suggested by the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, which we hope will speedily be followed by the abolition of Inferior Ecclesi astical Courts, which are engines of oppression, and are administered, as Sir STEPHEN LUSHINGTON said, by clergymen who know nothing of the law. If the op pression of Mr. JONES have hastened the annihilation of those Courts, he may find some consolation in that for his sufferings. Mr. LANGDALE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to 1 Sir ROBERT PEEL thought he had provided against all evils on this score by imposing an oath The following article from the Augsburg Gazette of the 16th inst., is so evidently of Russian manu facture, that it 14 next to preposterous to state the But there is (Ale eirctuosance it, to Kiiil tl it ilikae profitably be made.

How ARE YOU OFF FOR SOAP?--In the Illinois House of Assembly, during a recent debate, a member, named Mr. Happy, accused another, named Baker, cf an attempt to " soft soap" unsuspecting members, and that he had an utter contempt for " soft soap." Mr. Baker, in reply, said, " The gentleman expresses con tempt for 'soft soap. I. believe him to be sincere—if the members of the house will inspect his countenance closely, I dare say they will there find conclusive evi dence that he feels the greatest contempt for all sorts of soap.'" Sharp-shooters are they in these backwood legislatures!

COLDEST OF ALL CLIMATES.—The earth has no spot upon 'its surface, either habitable or otherwise, which i 3 so cold as Yakutsk, a paltry yet principal town of Easter n Siberia, where a few wooden houses are in termixed wi , lf numerous hu's, plastered over with cow dun;, and' wirel o e ecl with ice. In this dreary and remote q ion T the earth is always frozen, the s ummer's thew never reaching below three feet from the surface, the subterranean ice having a compute,i depth of 200 yards. In Jiienary the tleermometer leas been known to sink 11 dug. below the bitterest cold experienced by Ross Ills last expedition, and yet the inhabitants, fa voured by a warm though short summer, reap both wheat and bailey, and cultivate successfully potatoes, and various other hardy vegetables. INvENTiot!r.—A fellow in New Orleans has invented 1 and patented an instrument which he calif, " a phre : noleeical sin-depressing and virtue-developing iron ° scull cap, for the moral improvement of the human rpecis." The fellow stole the invention from " Mid iship man E ta ttier.—Ledger.

We believe there is such a law here, but it is not attended to in the least, as I saw two men yesterday passit4 publicly through the strca with the neck of a whiskey-bottle project -104 at least two inches above the pockets.—New York Gazette. ENcounAGING.—A gentleman on a colleetirg• tour c.lleci at one of our towns where he had four et editois. On inquiring for them he received the 101- liming encouraging information :—Mr. was in prison awaiting his trial for murder ; Mr. and Mr. were insolvent, and had departed for Texas ; and had gone to the nobody knew where.— Na !chez Courier. A QUANDARY.—Tbe .I'ely Orleans Picayune defines a quandary thus :—" A baker with both arms up to the clbows in dough, and a flea in the leg of his trou sers." lVe have just hard a story which conveys quite as c7ever an idea of the•thing as the Picayune'sdefinitioc. An old gentleman, who - ' had studied theological sub jects rather too much for the strength of his brains, de- termined to try his luck in preaching ; nothing doubt ing but that matter and form would be given him, with out any particular pr( paration on his own part. Ac cordingly on Sunday he ascended . .the pulpit, sung and prayed, read his text, and stopped. He stood a good while, first on one leg, then on the other, casting his eyes up to.,vards the rafters, and then on the floor, in a mcreless quandary. At length language came to his rolij:—" If any of you down there think you can /mach, just come up here and try it ?"—North Caro lina Patriot.

A YANKEE HORSE.—He never tried to do anything and could'nt. As for going, he can do that, and begin agin when the others leave off. No one going the same way on a 'pike ever saw anything but the critter's tail when be was ahead and did'nt choose to be overtaken. He'll go on any pace under a steam-engine at full speed, and will overtake a first-rate steamer if it stops to take in water. He's the cheapest critter, too, as ever I seen, for he'll go by a toll-bar on a 'pike before the man can look out to see if anything is coming. UNFORTUNATE.—The Evansville Journal of the 6th ►nst. states that George H. Dunn, while on his way home from Congress, was overturned in a mail-coach, and had both ankles broke. Mr. Dunn had a couple of ankles broke by a similar accident last year.— Aladdisos Cou. LONDON : FRIDAY, APRIL 26,1639. The Duke of RICHMOND brought a discrepancy in the administration of the Criminal Law under the notice of the Peers last night. Lord ABINGER had at the last Assizes for Sussex discharged some prisoners, who were, as the Duke of RICHMOND contended, in the custody of the keeper of the House of Correction, while Lord A BINGER discharged them as being on the Calendar and in the custody of the Sheriff. The Duke complained of the Judge, and gave notie.c of a motion for returns on the subject this evening. The Noble Duke was recommended by the Judges to bring in a Bill to settle the question, as there was a difference of opinion on the subject ; the Judges consi dering themselves bound to clear the gaols, and questioning the right of the Magistrates to commit over an Assize. rrHE MODEL OF THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO is NOW EY lIII3ITED at the EGYP TIAN HALL, PICCADILLY, by brilliant Artificial Light.

Such a course of policy is merely contemptible, for whatever may be the effect of voluntary oaths, imposed oaths were never powerful enough to overcome the de mands of interest. Oaths to enforce a moral obligation, like an oath to tell the truth, have sometimes been objected to; but oaths to con tradict a moral obligation are mere jesuistry, and are treated by all men of sense with scorn. The Churchmen feel it to be a moral obligation to pre serve the ascendancy of their own creed, and the Catholics and Dissenters are under the same moral obligation to promote theirs. To expect to bind them, contrary to such an obligation, and con trary to their interest, by an imposed oath, is mere babyism, unworthy of sensible men. Accordingly it is now a very general complaint on the part of Churchmen that the Catholics in parti cular, and sometimes it is said of the Dissenters, do not regard their oath, and in spite of it wish to take away the property of the Church, or use the political power they possess for her overthrow. The latest instance of the power of these sects over the Church was that mentioned by the Bishop of EXETER in the House of Lords on Tuesday, that a Catholic Nobleman had recommended a Clergyman to be the Dean of Exeter. That was probably a proper exertion of Parliamentary influence, however wrathful at it the Ultra-Churchmen may be. The Government being carried on, in fact, by the Parliament, the members of it must, in a great measure, have through the Ministers, and it is known they have, the bestowal of many goad things ; and there is no reason why Catholics and Dissenters, having Parliamentary powers, should not have their fair share of Parliamentary patronage as well as Churchmen, and why they should not equally fill up vacancies in the State Church. It is true that the application was not in this instance successful ; but who can tell in how many in stances similar applications are successful ? The Church, by her own avarice, and her own worldliness, is now placed under the hoof of a State composed of Catholics, Dissenters, and Infidels. Does she not tremble for her faitiq Is she not alarmed for her doctrine ? She has good reason, and we are not at all surprised that Dr. PIIILL POTTS, the Rev. Mr. TOWNSIIEND, and a consi derable body of the Priesthood, begin to complain of the connexion between Church and State, and wish, though they dread, to dissolve it. We agree with them. It is time the union was at an end. They ought to dissolve it, and we will cordially aid them in a work which we believe will promote piety and devout feelings as much as it will serve the cause of political liberty. The readers of The Sun are tolerably well ac quainted' with the name of the Rev. EBENEZER MORRIS, the pluralist Parson of Llanelly and Llanon, who rejoiceth in the imprisonment of Dis senting Churchwardens. They can hardly have forgotten that JOHN JAMES, a poor farmer, was lugged by this Worthy into the Spiritual Court for not attending Church, and thence transferred to Car marthen Gaol, through the official instrumentality of another Parson, who presides at once over an Ec clesiastical Court and a Tory Newspaper. The said EBENEZER'S next exploit was to give his pri soner, the Churchwarden of his parish of Llanelly, a companion, in the person of DAVID JONES, the Churchwarden of his parish of Llanon, whose heinous offence it was that he had not provided bread and wine for the Communion, although he had done all that the law required of him by calling a vestry to lay a rate. The vestry met, and refused the supplies. Poor DAVID JONES, haw ever, was held responsible for this lack of courtesy on the part of EBENEZER'S flock, and was bv a sudden jerk of the ecclesiastical engine, worked by him and his reverend coadjutor of the Carmarthen Journal, precipitated into the dungeon in which he now lies. Such is a brief account of the late ecclesiasti cal doings in Wales, which, it will be seen by our Parliamentary report, were brought under the review of the House of Commons last night by the Honourable Member for Lambeth, in the able and effective speech with which he prefaced his resolution for the aboli tion cf the Inferior Ecclesiastical Courts in England and Wales. The Debate which ensued will be read with interest. It will be seen that no attempt was made to shield . these Courts from the fate which they deserve, and that the resolution was agreed to without a division. The speech of Sir STEPHEN LUSHINGTON is particularly worthy of attention. The Learned Judge stated that he had read all the proceedings in the case of DAVID JONES ; that he perfectly concurred in the opinions delivered by Drs. ADDAMS and HAGGARD that there was no charge at all; and that if the proceedings had been brought into any of the Superior Courts ; before Sir 11. JENNER, the instant they bad been presented, they would have been rejected. " Those Courts," added the Right Lion. Civilian, " were armed with very great powers, and they were administered by Clergymen who knew nothing of the law, and who did not know whether their proceedings were consistent with law or not. He ardently desired to see them abolis!ied, for while they remained, they remained as great instruments of injustice. It is gratifying to find the opinion of the public as to these nuisances, thus amply borne out by so high an authority. These pestilent sources of many of the worst evils that afflict society, are at last doomed to destruction. Thanks be to EBENEZER MORRIS for the hand he has had in bringing about so desirable a con summation I We had intended to notice the ill-judged and worse executed attempt of an Hon. Gentleman, to white-wash this worthy, as well as some other points arising in the course of the dis cussion, but we are prevented, at present; by want of room. The annual exhibition of Mr. IVT ..... HEE and Dr. O'SULLIVAN took place yesterday at Exeter ' hall, under the auspices of Lord KENYON. Mr. A. Pa INGLE represented Scotland, Mr. PLUAIPTRE and Mr. HARDY England, and Lord RODEN was to have appeared for the Orangemen of Ireland, but some return of common sense, roused by the in jurious effects to the Conservatives of the debate of last week, prevented him from gratifying his wishes. He is identified, however, with this political party (for religion they have none), he is their patron and supporter, and is the loudest in calling out for the destructi on of Maynooth College, and the re-enact ment of penal laws that all but excited in 1829 a civil war in his native country. It was in vain, therefore, that he absented himself from such a dis- ' graceful exhibition as that of yesterday, and it is in vain that the Conservative organ, loudest in its de nunciations against Irish Catholics, attempts to con ceal thei r d ee d s f ro m the eyes of the public. They began their proceedings, as usual, with prayer ; the two speeches were mixed up with the most atroci ous imputations on the religion of eight millions of their fellow -subjects, and Dr. O'SULLIVAN ended them with a political attack on Mr. GIBSON for daring to act according t o the dictates of his con science. U n d er t h e sacred name of religion, the RODENS, the PLUMPTRES, and the PRINGLES, the supporters of Sir ROBERT PEEL, pray not only for the repeal of the Emancipation Act, and of every concession made to the Catholics, but for the enactment of more penal laws, even to the extent of excluding Roman Catholics from all share in the management of their municipal affairs ; in other words, they pray for an Act of Parliament which never could be carried into effect, and which in a few years would sacrifice countless thousands of their fellow -creatures, and, according to all history and all experience, only render those persecuted more attached to their religion. Sir ROBERT PEEL is certainly to be pitied, but he has himself only to blame. If he is sincere in his profession s of reforming all proved abuses, why does he still co-operat e with the miserable remnant of a faction that cannot exist without abusing, oppressing, and trampling on their neighbours ? explain the Ist and 2d William IV., relative to the double assessment of the land tax. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD brought in a Bill to pro vide for the Custody of Infants. There was no opposi tion to the Learned Gentleman's motion. The notice given last night by Sir R. PEEL, of his intention to oppose the Jamaica Bill on going into the Committee, gives that question great tem porary interest. At present the Island is without an acting Legislature, and without the means of providing for the public security, in consequence of laws not having been passed which the new condi tion of that society requires. Perhaps the propo sition to suspend the Constitution for five years may be too extensive, but some means of providing for the Government is indispensable. What Sir ROBERT PEEL may intend to propose we are not certain, but we should apprehend that to pass an Act to suspend the Constitution condi tionally, or unless the Prison's and other Bills be passed, or to refer the matter again to the good disposition of the Jamaica planters, long and pa tiently tried and found wanting, would be full of inconvenience and as great a violation of principle as the plan proposed by the Ministers. Something, however, must be done. Sir ROBERT PEEL admits that ; and the question is, whether the planters, who fancy they have an interest in de feating emancipation, should be confided in to pass the necessary laws, or whether the Imperial Legislature should take the duty on itself. The friends of emancipation will feel deeply interested in this question, and know which side to support. When we hear so much from the Rodenite Press about the impossibility of bringing criminals to jus tice in Ireland, about juries being afraid to give ho nest verdicts, and about murder being committed in open day, we are naturally led to infer that such scenes are never heard of in England. It was with some surprise therefore that we found some exam ples of similar conduct in the Report of the Con stabulary Commissioners. We do not rely, in quot wi_:; on stories fabricated by an exaggerating party Press, but on a public document, most carefully prepared, with no view to any political purpose. At page 41 it is stated by the Rev. Trios. SPENCER of Hinton, near Bath, that a flourishing allotment system there was much discouraged by the impos sibility of the people protecting their property. At page 42, a case is described of a man killed by fight ing at Llanliwchairn, whose body was swollen, and black and blue from kicks ; but there was some party feeling in the case—a faction fight, we sup pose—and the Jury brought in a verdict that his death was caused by excessive drinking and falling. In the same page is an account of a woman poison ing her husband, which we have already no ticed, who ran off with her paramour; nobody would pursue them, and they consequently escaped punishment. If such a case had happened in Ire land under Lord NORMANBY'S Government, what an outcry the Rodenites would have made. In page 43 is an account of a man deliberately shoot ing another in Devonshire in open day ; the facts were clear, but the Jury summoned from the neigh bourhood, in defiance of these facts, returned a verdict of accidental death. " Free and unbiassed justice," says R. SHUTE, Esq., " could riot be ob tained in small districts, particularly in agricultural districts, where the people hang more together than in the manufacturing." In page 38 it is said that depredations are overlooked in a part of Devonshire principally through fear of revenge. Could any thing worse be said of Ireland ? We have already quoted from the same page an account of three un punished murders presented to the notice of one of the Commissioners in Lancashire and Cheshire in one fortnight. In the following page is an account • of a poacher shooting at a farmer in the open day, and, though several persons were present, nobody molested the assassin, and he has never been punished. Now if that had happened in Ireland the Evening Mail would have thundered about it for a week, and the Times, fearful that its own noise would not be loud enough, would have bor rowed the Irish thunder. In page 44 Sir ED MUND HEAD illustrates the care which the people about Cardigan take to correct the morals of their neighbotirs, and repress any species of conduct which they dislike, by sending round a wooden hone in the midst, of a mob with their faces blackened and torches in' 7 4lheir hand, and this kind of attack is probably quite as efficacious as being denounced from the Catho!ic altar in Ireland, or being placed under the Catholic ban. In the following page is a specimen of a Lieutenant COLE, and a neigh bouring proprietor, who was also an attorney, fighting for possession of a piece of land, and maintaining possession of it by the strong hand. No police force came to separate them, and no Ma gistrate appeared to command obedience to the law. Such a case is quite equal to the contests for land in Ireland, which supply so many paragraphs for the Rodenite Journals, and are the source of so much abuse of Lord NoRmANBY. There is one differ ence, however, especially worthy of notice. " Such acts of aggression, " says Lieutenant COLE, " are by no means uncommon ; mine was a case without a parallel, because opposition in such cases is never attempted ; the poor bend instead of opposing. Their feeling is that might overcomes right." The Irishman is not yet thoroughly subdued. He does not submit with out an attempt to obtain redress, or revenge himself; the humbled English peasant submits to might overcoming right. He bends instead of opposing, but if he had the untamed spirit of an Irishman, the acts of oppression perpetrated on him are enough to make the land .red with blood. What the Rodenites complain of is, that they do not find the same submission in Ireland as in England, for the Irish peasantry, like their oppressors, en deavour by their own right arm to insure the supre macy of their own will. When the Test, Acts were abolished the Dis senters became legally, as they before were actually, possessed of a right to sit in Parliament. When the Catholic Emancipation Act was reluctantly passed by Sir R. PEEL, because he could not help himself, the Catholics obtained the same right. As our fellow-citizens, paying taxes, and serving in our armies and navies, they constituted portions of the State, which is only another name for the whole of the nation, before those two Acts were passed, but by them they were acknowledged to be part of the State, and entitled to share in its power. They have since then, both as constituents and Members of Parliament, been as fully endowed with the powers and privileges of the State, as the Members of the Church of England. Now the Government of the country is vested substantially in the hand of the constituencies and their repre sentatives. The latter determine, in fact, who shall be Ministers, and the ultimate appeal, on all questions of difficulty, lies to the former. Thus the Catholics and the Dissenters have come to have a full and equal share in the Government with Churchmen, and can dispose of its patronage and emoluments. Those great changes have con sequently given to the union between the Church and State a totally different aspect from what it before bore. It was then a union between the Anglican Church and a State that was also limited to the same profession of faith ; it has now become a union of the Anglican Church and a State composed of Church of England men, Catho lics, Dissenters, and men of almost all creeds. The Church, the arrogant Church, whether she know it or not, is become dependent on Dissenters and Catholics. appear in the German Journals, do no: come from St. Petersburgh, but from Warsaw ; and, for the , most part, embody the personal feelings and designs of the EMPEROR, rather than the measures sane tioned by the Imperial Cabinet. In -a word, the Imperial Foreign Office has rarely anything to do with them ; it is the CZAR, speaking by the mouth of a Polish Secretary. Such of our readers as have read the summary which we puldished of the con tents of the Papers relating to the intrigues of Russia in the East, presented in the early part of last week to Parliament, will hardly be able to re press a smile at the impudent and lying allusion to the discovery of the weakness of England by the Affghans. Why the fact is directly and • notoriously the reverse. It is Russia that has been covered with shame and disgrace not only in Affghan, but in Persia I The triumph of British diplomacy and British moral power has been most complete, not only in Lahore, but in Cabool, in Herat, and finally in Teheran, the hot-bed of Russian intrigue. With respect to the question of Turkey and Egypt, we shall waive all reference to it for the present, being persuaded that its settlement will not be left to Russia alone. We know the double game which the CZAR is playing in Cairo and Constantinople quite as well as he does himself:— The last accounts from the interior of Russia state, that the Emperor will make a journey next month to the provinces of the Black Sea, to inspect in person the army of the south. We are assured that detachments of troops, dispersed during the winter, have been ordered to concentrate in the neighbourhood of the ports. to be ready for any event. The complications have been in deed singularly modified in the course of the winter, and the friendly external relations between England•and Russia will probably not be interrupted. The Emperor Nicholas does not feel obliged, for the moment, to direct his military farces towards Southern Asia, the English having by their own hands given themselves a wound which may prove mortal. Thus the collision of the two rival powers is for the moment adjourned. The English have doubtless ac quired the certainty that the brave and warlike Affghans are not to be so easily conquered as the people of Hin dostan, whose effeminacy is proverbial. Truly, a kaleide scope is always presented to us from the banks of the Thames, but notwithstanding that we know how to appre ciate the state of things. It is a pity for the pride of the English that the warlike Maharajah of the Sikhs should have discovered their weak side. England has incontest ably placed herself in a very bad position by her last enter prise in the favour of the weak Shah Soojah; she has thus worked for the advantage of Russia, who succeeds now by her diplomatic agents better than by her arms. By the conquest of Aden, the English have, it is true, gained an important point; but the skilful Mehemet Ali will do all in his power to deprive them, as much as possible, of the advantages arising from the possession of this Gibraltar of the Persian Gulf, and he will succeed in spite of all obstacles. The complications in Asiatic Turkey, which, in appear. ante, are near a solution by the sword, have for us more immediate interest. That is the reason why the Russian army of the South will take the field on the first signal, the war with the Circassians can only be carried on slowly as it has begun, the nature of the country preventing a rapid conquest. It is only by increasing gradually the Russian possessions, and by the construction of a chain of forts, that these tribes can be subjugated. The Shah of Persia has again thrown himself into the arms of Russia, and the Sultan will do the same. He resembles a political weathercock, for any other policy than this would place his existence in danger. In that case Russia would not fail to give to the Sultan her energetic support, and Mehemet Ali will, in spite of his alliance with the maritime powers, be obliged to retire within the limits of his vassalage. If, on the other hand, the Porte should adopt the suggestions of Lord Ponsonby, and eschew Russian influence, the policy of the Emperor Nicholas would probibly not allow him actually to ally himself with the Pacha of Egypt; but he would not hinder the latter from leaguing himself with the Shah of Persia against Turkey, to whom the immediate eons, (pence would be the loss of her Asiatic provinces. N\ e may therefore expect, in the beginning of the spring, important events in the East, for it is scarcely credible that the diplomatists who wish to ward off hostilities will be able to succeed, considering the characterestic incon stancy of the Eastern Cabinet. The debate in the French Chamber of Deputies, on the Ministerial crisis, was brought to a close on Tuesday evening, and to the deep mortification of the Court, terminated in the implied censure, by all parties, of the conduct of Marshal SOMA'. TH I ERS' triumph is now complete. MM. GUIZOT, PA SSY, D UFA UR Ep and CUNIN GUIDA I NE, the latter one of the firmest supporters of the MOLE Administration, avowed their readiness to accept the programme drawn up by M. THIERS, and re pudiated the idea of throwing any obstacle in the way of a Cabinet of which he was to have been chief. The explanations on all sides were made with a degree of frankness and sincerity highly cre ditable to the patriotism of the -Chamber ; and it was observed that the leaders of patties looked agreeably surprised to find that the artifices of the Court had alone prevented the healing of their mutual divisions. The Marquis of DALMATIA, son of Marshal SOULT, declared in the Chamber on Monday that his father assumed the responsibi lity of those acts which the Opposition laid at the KING'S door, more especially the rejection of the claims of M. Tiffmts to be appointed to the Fo reign department. The Chamber has gratified the illustrious Marshal to his heart's content. It could not pronounce a stronger condemnation of his con duct without proceeding to impeach him. He may now add to his other claims upon the gratitude of France his self-immolation to cover with irresponsibility the Throne of LOUIS PHILIPPE. That the Marshal is personally blameless is known to every person, except so far as he has been weak enough to allow himself to be made the tool of the KING. But the result of this debate must satisfy 'inn that the Chamber will not suffer the interests of France to be sacrificed to the chivalrous notions of the most illustrious of her military defenders ; and the KING must at last be sensible that where such explanations are demanded as a right no. Minister, however ardent his devo tedness, can adequately screen the unconstitutional acts of the Chief Magistrate. We shall see in a day or two to what extent the Court will profit by the painful lesson which has just been taught it. When the debate on the Ministerial crisis was !Nought to a close, M. MAUGuIN brought forward his motion relative to the insult offered to the British Flag in the Gulf of Mexico. The Duke of MONTEBELLO, the ad interim War Minister, re peated in substance the explanations addressed by Count MOLE to Lard PALMERSTON. The Cham ber took but little interest in the question, which was soon got rid of. The Chamber of Deputies did not sit on Wed nesday, and there is very little news in the Jour nals of that day. Lists of a new Ministry were handed about, but under existing circumstances it would be a waste of trouble to give inser tion to them. The last revolution of the wheel placed TUIERS at the top, and SouLT and the KING at the bottom, but how long it will remain stationary is quite uncertain. However, some thing must be determined upon, as the affairs of France cannot continue to be conducted according to the present system. The following are extracts from Wednesday's Journals:— A private letter from Turin of the 20th, contains the following particulars on the subject of the treaty of com merce between Sardinia and the United States :—" You will observe in the Piedmontese Gazette a copy of a treaty of commerce concluded and signed in Genoa, in November last, between the Count Color de la Marguerite, his Sar. dinian Majesty's plenipotentiary, and Mr. Niles, as the plenipotentiary of the United States. Several of' the provisions are peculiar and highly important—the 14th article stipulates for the free transit of not only all the products of the United States, with the exception of salt, gunpowder, and manufactured tobacco, but for the products of all other countries imported from the United States, either in American or Sardinian vessels, to the countries bordering on the territory of his Sardinian Majesty. This provision displays the success ful exertions of the United States' Government to open the most direct and cheapest vent for the its great staples, cotton and tobacco, to the inland, countries of central Europe. It conveys also the most unequivocal evidence of the disposition on the part of his Sardinian Majesty to afford every possible facility for his neighbours to receive their supplies of transatlantic products through the port of Genoa, as well as an unembarrassed outlet for their manu factures. Indeed nothing can surpass the liberality of the general and special provisions of this treaty, while the American Government can claim the credit of having overcome the difficulties which have hitherto prevented Sardinia from opening her ports to a re ciprocally free trade with other commercial coun tries. His Sardinian Majesty may • justly claim the high honour of having adopted, in regard to internal com merce through his States, freer and more enlarged views than those hith er t o avowe d or acted on by any other Eu ropean Government. Genoa will now have every reason to bless that good fortune which has united her with Sar dinia, and which secures to her the advantage of carrying on the transatlantic commerce of countries beyond the con fines of Sardinia herself. It is a little remarkable that the first treaty of commerce ever entered into by Sardinia, in eluding Genoa, should have been concluded with America, discovered by a Genoese. It is now anticipated that a railroad will in the course of a few years be established between Genoa and the foot of the Alps." The measure by which the Archbishop of Cuba recals the Christinus who have emigrated and restores to them their property, which has been confiscated, is extolled by the Journals of the frontier of Spain as a great step towards r,e.c:ivAlatlo3 of chi, a.ll of ,. cruel rati,e ,:t7 that th, , Mioistcr ‘Alicr WhiCh tl. ,`.•• IS noble and generous policy.

Sir F. ROE--I see clearly there is a degree of angrY feeling existing between you, and therefore I must call upon you both to put in bail. The defendant Burton said that he wished to justiffy his conduct by explaining the treatment he met wi th from the other defendant when he called upon him. Sir F. Roii—lt is my duty at present not to hear apt explanation, which would evidently increase the irritation. for if I hear one party, the other will naturally claim the, same privilege ; and from your station in society, the hall I shall require, will be considerable. I shall, therefore, call upon ou both to enter bail yourselves in 5001. and two sureties in 2501. each, to keep the peace toward s all her rvlsjesty's subjects, but particularly yourselves, for the next twelve months. The defendant, Martin, said he was prepared to prefer a charge against the other defendant, who came out f or the express purpose of committing an assault upon him a l the public streets. Sir F.

We are airAin this morning without any arrivals, with the exception of mud foreign mails, not a single ship let ter has been received, nor do we hear of the arrival of the New York packet-ship of the Ist inst., which is anxiously looked for by th Merchants. This scarcity of intelligence causes a paucity in the operations of the various Funds in the itish as well as in the Foreign Markets. All the reports which have prevailed for some time past of a war between the Turks and Egyptians is now likely to be prevented by nogociations, as it is understood that the English and French Governments are exerting all their endeavours to prevent hostilities taking place.
