OVERLAND MAIL EXPRESS FROM PARIS. MALTA, FEB. 28. MARSEILLES, MARCH 3. PARIS, MARCH 4. The Indian Mail of the Ist February announces the taking of Gwalior after two battles, in which the Anglo-Indian army lost more than 1,000 men in kills d and wounded. The loss upon the side of the enemy was 6,000. No news of importance from Sinde, the Punjaub, or China. Gwalior, the fort taken by our troops, is, from its strength, called the Gibraltar of the East. It covers the top of a hill, nearly two miles long, but narrow ; the sides are very precipitous, and the highest part, which is at the north end, is 342 feet above the surrounding plain. The rampart con forms to the brow of the hill all round ; and the area within is full of buildings, reservoirs of water, wells, and cultivated land. At the foot of the moun tain, on the east side, is the town, which is large and Ns•Pll built. It is 68 miles south by east of Agra. The British took it by a nocturnal escalade in . 1780. This description will account for the severe loss described in the dispatch. We reprint the follo wing letter, which we received from our Bombay correpondent by the last Overland Mail, in reference to the condition of our relations with the Gwalior Government. This document may erne to illustrate the important intelligence which reached us last night in anticipation of our expected dispatches from India. " BOMBAY, JAN. 1. • " The most important intelligence of the month is that from Gwalior, where one of those sudden turns which are so often r;ixttrring in the affairs of India has relieved us of the ap prehensions of immediate war, which a fortnight since seemed inevitable. The army of exercise, whose details were partly given in my last letter, having been called together with the Utmost dispatch, was, by the beginning of the month, found complete in all its details. Lord Ellenborough left Calcutta on the 25th of November, and with the Utmost dispatch reached Agra on the 10th December, and reviewed the troops. On the 12th, the first brigade under General Valiant marched, the remainder following on the three next ensuing days. The left wing of the army, under General Grey, had meanwhile assembled at Jansi, and com int?nced its advance simultaneously with the force from Agra. The Gwalior chiefs, seeing themselves placed betwixt a couple of magnificently-appointed advancing armies, and also know ing that they had to deal with one not to be trifled with, at once lost heart. The malcontent chiefs were placed in cus tody, and afterwards surrendered to us. The Government of the country was placed in the hands of the chief most favour• able to our interest. " A question of peace or war continued still to be stoutly (V:bated in the Durbar, when the approach of the British troops frightened them into submission. Lord Ellen horough, it is said, still means to go forward, but with a small 'fragment of the army only, such as may be con gdered requisite to expedite the tranquillisation of the ' country. The terma agreed uron are, of course, as yet, scarcely known to the public. Their general tenour is said to be to the effect that the Gwailor Government shall hereafter maintain a large con tingent force, and pay the whole costs already incurred on their behalf; and that an extensive piece of territory, in denting inconveniently into the Company's dominions, shall be ceded in perpetuity to the British Government in security for the payment of the contingent. When it is considered, that in reality the Gwalior States lapsed to us as heirs of the King of Delhi some eight months since, and that they only maintain a show of independence by our grace and favour, they seem to have been treated with much leniency and con sideration."—Herald. The meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League, at Covent-garden Theatre, last evening, was one of the most triumphant and enthusiastic which ever that important body has held. What a contrast to the meeting of the Anti-League Association, held at Freemasons' Tavern, on Monday last, did the League meeting of last night present ! It was just the differ ence between the objects of the two Associations ; the one powerful, strong, and healthy, full of vigour and enthusiasm—the other, puny, weak, and diseased, without either energy or animating spirit. And need we—can we wonder, that such should be the case, when the League advocates the rights of the people and of the whole community, whilst the Anti- League supports only the landlords' interests, the cause of a faction, and aims at class legislation alone. The tenant-farmers looked with very great dis gust at the composition of the National Anti-League Association, and at the very first meeting, when the governing body was selected from landlords and tenant-farmers, to act together in unison, more than one of the tenant-farmers asked this per tinent question, " What interest have we in common with the landlords, that should make us unite with them for the protection of agriculture ; will it not be made a society for the protection of rents, not of renters ?" And the tenant-farmers were right in their suspicions of the landlords' intentions; they were jus tified in doubting the sincerity with which any union of men, such as those who cry out so loudly for the preservation of the corn-laws, and those who, having to pay rent, have always found the high price of pro duce used as an argument for high rental, could be / made mutually beneficial. It is not in the nature of things to mix oil and water; and yet, as soon will this union be effected as the union in one plan for the interest of both, between the landlord seeking to maintain high prices, in order to keep up his rent, and the tenant seeking to obtain a high price for the produce of his farm, but, at the same time, wishing to pay the lowest rate per acre out of the proceeds. The corn-laws are not—they never can he made — the instruments of good to the tenant• farmer, or to the farm labourer; they are, and they will be, the instruments of vast evil to them, and to every man in society save the landlords. They are the landlords' tax, levied exclusively for the good and benefit of that one class, and paid by every other class, entirely to their own disadvantage and evil. The poor farm labourer, earning his paltry pittance of seven shil lings per week, does not receive more wages when bread is dear; he derives no benefit from the advance in price of the article which he starves to raise from the earth, while its additional price inflicts additional starvation upon him, and draws still more upon his scanty earnings. The farmer hears of the rise of corn with joy : but soon his gladness is checked by the agent of his landlord, who claims increased rental, and justifies the demand by the increased price of farm produce. The artisan, the mechanic, the shop keeper, and every person whose income is not derived from land, finds in the increased price of corn nothing but expenditure, without return or advantage ; and, from one end of society to the other, no man can show a beneficial interest in the corn-laws, save the one class—the landlord class. Greatly to the honour of even this class is it, that enlightened, worthy, and sincere supporters of a repeal of the corn-laws, are to be found even in their body. Men who can see beyond the extremity of their nasal organ ; who can see that the prevalence and continuance of class legislation must ultimately bring ruin and destruction even to that very class whose protection is sought by unjust means. Excess will produce lassitude—dissipation in youth will draw on premature old age—extravagance will bring penury—guilt will find punishment--and class legis lation, injustice in the highest sense, will assuredly find retributive justice, in the utter destruction which accumulated wrong at all times heaps upon the heads of its perpetrators. r► The Lords did not sit yesterday. In the Commons, after the presentation of petitions, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER announced that on Friday next he would move a resolution for the reduction of the interest on the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities. This is only what has been anti cipated for some sime, but nevertheless it will cause a great sensation among the holders of that stock. The House went into Committee on the County Coroners' Bill. On the reading of the clause which allowed coroners Is. per mile for travelling expenses, Mr. C. BERKELEY moved the omission of the clause, when the Committee divided, and the amendment was lost by a majority of 59. The remaining clauses were agreed to, and the House resumed. The House adjourned at a Quarter to Seven. A most important notice was given by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons last night. The reduction of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. has long been a topic of public di scuss i on , and it now appears th a t this reduction is to be carried into effect. A very great saving will be caused by this means ; and we hail this, as we should any other plan for effecting a reduction in our national expen diture, as a most gratifying announcement. The persecution of the Jews, we regret to state, still continues with unabated virulence throughout the Russian dominions, as also in those provinces which once formed portions of Turkey and Poland, but,which are now in a great degree under the direct influence of the CZAR. "Letters from Moldavia and Lithuania," says a Morning Contemporary, " give most harrowing accounts of the sufferings of the Jews in those countries. The Moldavian Government de sirous, why or wherefore we know not, of diminish ing the number of Jews resident in the State, has recently enacted that none shall be admitted without a regular passport, and that any one detected contravening this law shall be sent to the salt mines of Olma. In the town of Jassy a daily report is to be made to the police-officers of the number of Jews that arrive, and of each they are to require a carte de-sojour." When we read of these tyrannical acts of legislation, we are carried back in fancy to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, when the Jews were treated worse—if that he possible—than the black slaves in the Southern States of America; visited with fine—imprisonment—torture—death— according to the caprice of the great and petty despots of Europe ; and scarcely recognised as forming a branch of the vast, comprehen sive family of humanity. From the above accounts _ _ corrupt, underhand agency at work; and NICHOLAS has doubtless been led to believe, by certain crafty, interested counsellors, that the Jews have been actively engaged in fomenting political disturbances in the king dom. Be the motives of his conduct, however, what they may, he has shown the most deplorable fatuity in expatriating his Jewish subjects, and the conse quences cannot fail, in the long run, to come home to him, and verify SHARSPEARE'S remark, that " the great Gods are just, and of our vices make instruments to scourge us." Should Poland ever again threaten insurrection—should another such conspiracy break out among the Russian military as that which sig nalised the EMPEROR'S accession to the throne— should, in short, any event arise that may require a vast increase in his expenditure, from what quarter is the Sovereign of all the Russias to derive the means of replenishing his exchequer ? Will the Jews, the great bankers for ages of all the Courts of Europe, assist him ? Certainly not. They will bear diligently in mind his remorseless perse cution of their Russian brethren, and reject all his supplications for a loan with contempt, :were he even to offer an interest of cent. per cent. for the money. Meantime, we trust that our brave and generous countrymen, always the advocates of the oppressed, will not fail to mark their sense of the atrocious conduct pursued by NICHOLAS towards the Jews. We trust that they will forthwith hold public meetings on the subject, and at these meetings express their sentiments of disgust and abhorrence in the strongest terms that the Eng lish language allows. A tyrant, even though he be a Russian tyrant, and call himself NICHOLAS, must not be permitted to trample on the laws of justice and humanity with impunity.. Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have been re ceived. The Gazette publishes two dispatches from General RONCALI, announcing that on the 26th he would commence active operations against Alicant, and after the reduction of the place would march on Carthagena. Intelligence from that quarter, however, is not to be depended on, for in another account, at least a week previous, it was stated that RONCALI had opened his batteries and was pouring in shot on the rebellious town. The Minister of Justice, at the re quest of the QUEEN, had left Madrid on the 27th of February for Valencia to receive the ex-Regent MARIA CHRISTINA. He was the bearer of an auto graph letter from the young QUEEN to her august mother, and was accompanied by Messrs. FERNANDO ALVAREZ and DOMINGO MORENO, two officers of his Ministry, and M. SALVADOR BERMUDEZ DE CASTRO, Secretary of the Council of Ministers. On the 27th the Three per Cents. sold for 29i at 60 days; the Four per Cents. at 20 for cash, and 203- at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 228 at 60 days. The Paris papers have again reverted to the Ota heite affair, in consequence of certain articles in the London journals, but we find nothing new in their remarks, nor any account whatever of the sums sub scribed to purchase a sword for Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS. A Ministerial paper, the Globe, thus adverts to this foolish scheme for annoying the KING and his Ministers :—" The Opposition journals of yesterday contained the joke of a subscription being opened to offer a sword of honour to Admiral Du- PETIT THOUARS. We are perfectly edified with the patriotic subscriptions of the republic. It will be with the sword of honour, maximum 50c., as with the million of the Irish; and with M. DUPETIT TIIOUARS as with O'CoNNELL, who declared that if the million had been sent, it would not have been accepted. M. DUPETIT THOUARS is, in fact, a man of infinitely too much sense and too much tact, to let himself be taken in by the compromising nonsense of the Opposition. He will perceive that the nation is rather with the imposing majority of the Chamber, who have disap proved of his conduct, whilst they. preserve to him all their esteem, than with those singers of the Marseillaise,' who will come between two bacchana lian couplets, and bring their offerings to the office of the National." According to some of the papers, arrests have lately taken place in the garrison of Paris, chiefly in the 70th regiment of the line, but on what grounds we do not learn. " Yesterday," says the National of Monday, " and the day before, the report has been circulated at Paris, of a military conspiracy having been discovered. The information carried about by the news-mongers is rather vague and contradictory, but that which appears beyond a doubt, is that within a few days past several non-commissioned officers of a regiment quartered at Paris have been arrested. It is even said that sundry superior officers are compro, raised among others, a colonel and lieutenant. colonel. In a day or two we shall know more abou this." Four Legitimatist Deputies, namely, MM. de LARCY, BERRYER, the Duke de VALMY, and M. BLIN BE BOURBON, have been returned at Cette, Marseilles, Toulouse, and Doullens, by large majo rities, and no doubt remained that M. LAROCREJAC ctuELIN would also be returned. The funds on Mon day were a little lower than on the previous day, the Three per Cents. closing at 82f. 75c., and the Fives at 126 f. 35c. The following telegraphic dispatch appears in the Messager : it would seem that the Moldavian and Lithuanian authorities—acting, no doubt, under Russian influ• ence—look upon the Jews as a sort of moral pesti lence, and require them to perform quarantine, and bring a sound bill of health with them, previous to their being permitted to reside in those enlightened countries. `We always knew that NICHOLAS was a tyrant—a systematic, remorseless tyrant, utterly re gardless of the claims of humanity, when those claims interfered with any favourite project; but we little thought that he was a fool as well as a tyrant, without wit enough to see what was beneficial or other wise to his own interests. We could understand his policy much as we abhorred it, wh en h e sacrificed Poles by thousands to his lust of arbitrary, irresponsi ble power ; tore the mother from the son, the wife from the husband, and heaped up, like another TA MERLANE, but without his intellect, a pyramid of corpses on the highway as an awful monument of his Imperial vengeance—we could understand, we re peat, this ruthless, straightforward policy, emanating, as it avowedly did, from the CZAR'S desperate deter mination to strike terror to the heart of Poland; but we must confess we are wholly at a loss to 1 understand the motives by which he is in fluenced in his present persecution of the Jews, which seems to us the most suicidal act of atro city that ever yet was perpetrated, even by a Rus sian despot. As for the pretext that they are en gaged in smuggling, surely this is not sufficient to explain or justify the banishment of an entire people, many of whom are among the most enlight ened of the CZAR'S subjects, diffusing the arts of civili sittion by their wealth, anal fostering a taste for its en joyments by their example ! There must be SOW petty, "PERPIGNAN, FEB. 29. " Queen CHRISTINA arrived last evening at Figue ras, where she was received with enthusiasm. Te Deum was chanted on the occasion. Her MAJESTY was to leave to-day for Girona." THE BOURSE--MONDAY, MARCH . 4. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. .

It is well known that Ireland was tranquil and peaceable under their rule, and repeal was never named. A change came over Ireland when Peel assumed power, and repeal became the watch-word. Give Ireland good government and repeal will never be heard of again. We value the demonstration of Tuesday next very highly, and it has already produced great good in Ireland even by anticipation. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—III the week ending March 2, the total number of deaths was _ _ _ 1,055, showing a decrease, as compared with the previous week, of 91, and exceeding the average by 54. We are glad to find ,that the deaths from diseases of the lungs have greatly decreased. On the previous week the number was 428, while last week it was 366, being 36 above the average. In the first class, including small-pox, measles, scarlatina, and pooping -cough, the number is still high, being 215, and 45 above the average. Of the 17 persons who died of small-pox, 10 had not been vaccinated. The following is the analysis of the deaths caused by the diseases of the lungs :—Bronchitis 34, average 19 ; pneumonia 96, average 91; asthma 51, average 45 ; consumption 156, average 146. Of deaths from diseases of the• heart the number is 34, average 21. Violent deaths 19, average 25. Of these four were from fracture of limbs or contusion, seven from burns, one from suicide. The thermometer was lowest on Tuesday, 27th February, 28 deg. ; and highest on March 1, 51.1 deg. The barometer was lowest on the 26th February, 28.66 deg. ; and highest on the 28th, 29.47 deg. COACH AND CAB FARES FROM THE TERMINUS or THE RAILWAYS, LONDON-BRIDGE.---111 Tuesday the directors of the railways terminating at London-bridge, caused to be posted at Greenwich, New-cross, and more distant stations upon the several lines a table, alphabetically arranged, of the coach and cab fares to 370 different parts of the metropolis. This is undoubtedly a great public accom modation, and it is most desirable that the principle should be followed out at the metropolitan and all other stations of the several railways leading into London. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 7, 1844, he had given notice, he should on the motion for going into Committee of Supply, bring under the consideration of the House the subject of our com mercial relations with Buenos Ayres, and the subject of the unhappy war at present existing between Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. REDUCTION OF THE THREE-AND-A HALF. PER CENT. ANNUITIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that he would, on Friday next, in a Committee of the whole House, move a resolution for the reduc tion of the interest on the Three-and• a-Half per Cent. Annuities. Mr. BLEWITT wished to call the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for the Home Department to a fact of great importance to Chancery suitors. He was informed that the whole of the books belonging to the Accountant-Ge neral's office were kept in a building which was not fire proof. He thought this was a matter which de manded serious consideration. Sir J. GRAHAM stated (as we understood) that orders had been given that no fires should be lit in the building in question, and he begged to remind the Hon. Gentleman that ample provision had been made for the safe custody of these books in the new Houses of Parliament. COUNTY CORONERS' BILL. The House went into Committee on the County Coroners' Bill, and clauses 1 to 16 were agreed to, with a few verbal alterations, and without discussion. Clauses 17, 18, and 19, were then agreed to without discussion. On the reading of the 20th clause, which proposed that coroners should receive ls. per mile for travel ling expenses, Mr. C. BERKELY moved the omission of the clause. Mr. WlLLlAMS . supported the amendment of the Hon. Member for Cheltenham. Mr. MACLEAN and Sir GEORGE STRICK LAND supported the clause. The House divided, when the numbers were— For the clause 93 Fur the amendment Majority Clauses 21 and• 22 were agreed to without dis cussion. The remaining clauses were agreed to, and the the House resumed. The Masters and Servants' Bill was read a se cond time, and also the 'leachers of Schools (Ire land) Bill. Sir J. GRAHAM, on the part of Sir Denham Norreys, moved for a copy of a Report of W. J. Han cock, Esq., Assistant Poor-law Commisioner, upon the late election of a poor-law guardian for the ward of St. Andrew's, in the city of Dublin, which was or dered. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the. House adjourned at a Quarter to Seven. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS, (From Me Votes and Proceedings of Ms House of Commons. MONDAY, MARCH b.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Consols closed steadily this afternoon ; but still with out any appearance of activity, at 97-i to 4. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were 102* to 4 ; Exche quer Bills were 69 to 71 prem. ;- and South Sea Stock improved to 1114. There was a slight drop in the Foreign Market, as regards Spanish Bonds, the Actives being 25i -I, and Three per Cents, 35 Portuguese Converted were at 47 ; Mexican Deferred realised 14*; and Buenos Ayres, 37* to *- ; Belgian were 104* -I, being a decline, owing to the intended reduction in the rate of interest ; Dutch Five per Cents. were 1011 to *.

London Joint Stock Bank Shares were 3* prem. ; and National Provincial of England, * discount. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, was very dull, and prices were more in favour of the buyers-1,000 bales were sold. Business in Shares was rather better :—Eastern Counties Registered were 124 ; Grand Junction, 226 ; Great Western Fifths, 194 ; Liverpool and Manchester, 224 ; Bir mingham, 233 ; Ditto, Quarter, 284 ; South Western Eighths, '34 • Manchester and Birmingham, 414 ; Paris and Lyo ns , 21. 15s. 6d. ; Ditto and Orleans, 334 ; and South Eastern, 354 ; Ditto, New, 354, The intelligence received from the East Indies to-day has been the subject of very general conversation in the City, and much regret is expressed at the loss that has taken place in the Indian army. There have not as yet been any commercial letters delivered, nor can they be expected until to-morrow or the following day. The ship ments of manufactures for the East Indian and China markets are rapidly on the increase. The mercantile intercourse with the Chinese must become ere long of immense advantage to this country, if we may judge from the anxiety of the merchants and the shipping interest to enter into transactions with the subjects of the Celestial Empire. There is not an arrival from the North American and other Colonies to-day of later dates than those before received. At a meeting of the Shareholders in the London and Westminster Bank, held this morning, a dividend at the rate of 6 < per , cent. per annum was de clared. The balance of profits; after bad and doubtful debts were provided for, expenses, &c., were stated to amount to 51,6961. ss. 7d. From the balance of profits the income tax was deducted. The reserve fund is now at 66,822/. 16s. sd. There has been afirm market for British Securities. Consols for the account have remained at 974 to 4-, at which the de mand has continued dull up to the present hour. The Com missioners took their usual amount of Stock at 974 for Con sols. Exchequer Bills are 69 to 71, and India Bonds 89 premium. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 1024 to 4. The Foreign Market has been buoyant again, and Spanish, owing to the advance at Madrid, have touched 25 to 4 for the Actives, and 354 to 4 for the Three per Cents. Colombian Bonds have been 144 to 154, with a good deal doing. Brazil Bonds are at 804 ; Portuguese Old at 774 ; Peruvian at 301; Mexican at 344 to 35 ; and the Deferred at 144 to 134.

ROBBERY AT CHATHAM DOCH-YARD.—Th onus Fox, one of the apprentices at her Majesty's dock-yard at Chatham, and a pupil of the dock-yard school, was brought before the bench of county magistrates sitting at Rochester, on Monday, charged with having stolen from the school a quantity of mathematical instruments, the property of her Majesty. James M'Ganahan deposed—l am the school master of the dock-yard school, appointed by the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty. I have 144 youths under tui tion, and to 129 of them I have entrusted mathematical instruments for use—the property of her Majesty. I pro cured them from the storekeeper. I never allowed any one to take the instruments from the school. Some had instru ments of their own. In consequence of information I re ceived about the 21st of Februarylast, I made a search and discovered that some of the instruments were missing. The prisoner has been a pupil since May last. Henry Pemble is a pupil, and had a pair of compasses and a drawing pen, the property of the Queen. Henry Pemble examined—ls an apprentice in the Dockyard. I missed my bo x o f instru ments from underneath my desk on the 20th of February. There were a pair of compasses and a drawing pen in it belonging to the Queen ; and a wooden mould, two pen holders, and some steel pens, my own property. Do not know whether Fox was at school that day. Elizabeth Cliff deposed that the prisoner pledged the box of instruments produced I y the constab!e at her husband's shop at Chatham, on the 22 , 1 of February, for ls. 6d. Pemble identified the box and instruments produced as those lost by him. Three similar cases were fully made out against the prisoner, who was remanded till Wednesday, to give the dockyard authori ties time to substantiate a fifth case. The value of the in struments stolen from the school amounts to upwards of geyen Rua,. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND VUtlitt Optnton. " Who runs may read." A telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles reached Paris on 3londay announcing that the Anglo-Indian army had en tered Gwalior after two battles in which there, had been con siderable loss on both sides. 'On Saturday evening their Majesties the King and Queen of the French received the Minister of Public Works, the Austrian and Neapolitan Ambassadors, the Prussian and Danish Ministers, Vice-Admiral Dupotet, Generals Count Schramm, Aupick, and Grouchy ; the Bishop of Beauvais, the Marquis de Grille, and a large number of other persons of rank. Prince d'OttingenWallerstein, Grand Master of the Crown, and Counsellor of State in Bavaria, has arrived in Paris on an extraordinary mission from his Sovereign. The National and Gazette de France announce that the subscription for presenting a sword of honour to Admiral Dupetit Thouars is opened at their offices, and at those " of all the independent journals." The maximum of each sub scription is limited to 50 centimes (25.). The Ministry, says the Courrier Francais, filled with con fidence by its 233 votes upon the last ballot, and wishing to take advantage of the favourable disposition of the Chamber, will, it is said, apply this week for a grant of Looo,ooof. for secret service money. The Cabinet is completely reassured, and its leaders guarantee it a continued existence for several years. It cannot doubt of an increasing majority on all questions, after having such an inexplicable and unexpected majority on a question, in which the honour of our flag and the dignity of the nation was involved. " It is reported," says the same journal, " that the Govern ment is about to send out M. Agenor de Gasparin as the King's Commissioner to Queen Pomare of Tahiti." • Th e p ress , says, " The Directors of the Bank of France are engaged in considering the expediency of issuing notes of 250 f. The Bill for authorising this step will certainly be fa vourably received. Notes to this small amount are already issued from the branch banks, and their utility in the grand metropolis of business is incontestible. It is difficult, there fore to imagine any grounds for opposition to granting this accommedation to Paris, where, beyond all other places, it must be truly serviceable." The Phare of Bayonne, of Friday attributes the non-arrival there, on that day, of the mail from Madrid, to the state of the roads in the Pyrennees, which were in many places blocked up by snow. A letter from St. Petersburgh of the 20th ult., in the Berlin Gazette, contains the following:—" The chief of the frontier district near Kjachta, has reported that at Macmad schin, a few wersts distant from Kjachta, the local Chinese authorities discovered two Chinese who were smoking opium, which they said had been supplied by Russians. The Chinese chiefs immediately opened negotiations with the Russian authorities on the frontier, and the Emperor of Russia having been informed of the fact, has ordered that the Ukase published in 1841 against the sale of opium to the Chinese shall be scrupulously enforced, and that all persons who may violate it shall be tried by a Court-martial." LAW AND POLICE. At the Central Criminal Court, Henry Jones.. and William Christie, convicted of Custom-house robberies, were sentenced to be imprisoned in Newgate for twelve months, and kept to hard labour. In passing sentence, Mr. Justice Patteson, af ter consulting with Mr. Justice Williams, said, that there did not appear to be any material difference in their cases. From the confession of Jones, it appeared that he had been in duced by Christie, to whom he was indebted, to join him in perpetrating these frauds ; but still it must be recollected that he occupied a place of trust, and it was necessary that an example should be held out to all such as were similarly situ ated. And what an example ! Here, men well paid for doing their duty, rob the public, and receive twelve months imprisonment, while a poor starving man is banished for seven years for stealing food to satisfy his wants. About a dozen girls were brought up at the Mansion House, charged with having broken the windows of the union workhouse, and also the windows of the Mansion House. They said their object was to get admission into Bridewell. Sir Peter Laurie refued to send them to Bridewell, but Or dered a couple of officers to take them to Peckham workhouse. It is now the constant practice of the refractory of both sexes to break the windows of the Mansion House. At Bow-street two men, named John Harrison and Daniel M'Carthy, were brought before Mr. Twyford, charged, under the provisions of Malicious Damage Act, with cutting and destroying a number of trees on York-terrace-buildings, Adelphi. Mr. Twyford said, as proceedings were pending in another Court (the Queen's Bench) respecting the rights of parties to the Terrace; he should not be justified in giving any opinion upon the subject ; and he should, therefore, order the defendants to he discharged, as they might have had a fair and reasonable supposition that they were not acting illegally. Ellen Herbert, a woman about sixty years of age, and com pletely deaf, residing at West-end, Hampstead, was charged at Marylebone with attempting to drown herself. Her hus band had been sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment for stealing. Prisoner had no means of supporting her family, and under those circumstances resolved on self-destruction. The police were directed to make the case - known to the officers of Hampstead parish. At Queen-square, Mr. John Grover, of Belgrave-street, Belgrave-square, surveyor, who has been in custody some days, charged with having defrauded Mr. J. Slater, of 42, Lower Belgrave-place, of a large sum of money, was again brought up. Several other charges of a like nature were pressed upon the attention of the Magistrate. Mr. Burrell said, he should not entertain any new charges ; he was un willing to prejudice the other case, in which he bad consi dered it his duty to send the prisoner before ajury. Ho con sented to take bail in 2001. for the prisoner's appearance at the Central Criminal Court, but there being no sureties in at tendance he was locked up. Mr. Norton, the Lambeth-street Magistrate, acknowledged the receipt of a note from Mrs. A. Waddington, of Ely, en closing a draft upon a London banker for the sum of twenty guineas, to be distributed from the office poor-box. Mrs. Waddington had frequently been the kind benefactress of the distressed poor through this Court, and Mr. Norton acknow ledged one handsome donation with much gratitude. At the Thames Police-court, William Jackson, a notorious thief, was charged with breaking into the brig Rapid, lying at Hanover-hole tier, Rotherhithe, and stealing the wearing apparel of two seamen. Some of the stolen property was found in the prisoner's possession. He was committed for trial. 001711T-PASZIONABLE. The Duchess of Gloucester's health continues to improve, and when the weather is sufficiently fine her Royal Highness is able to take carriage airings.. The Duke of Canibridge' s i dinner, at Cambridge House, on Wednesday next, will be given to the Duke of Wellington, the Archbishop . of York, the Earl of Cawdor, and the Direc tors of the Ancient Concerts, being the 68th season. The Royal Director has engaged Madame Caradori Allan, Miss Rainforth, Miss M. B. Hawes, and Messrs. Hawkins and Phillips. Lord and Lady Poltimore, who was passing the winter at Rome, are not expected home until the end of the season. Lord and Lady Newark, who have wintered in the south of Europe, are expected at their seat, Hol me Pi errepont, Not ytienagrhs. The Prussian Minister and Madame B unsen are expectedamshire, late in the sprin g , aft er an a b sence of three to leave Lord Stuart de Rothesay's mansion on Carlton terrace at the close of the ensuing week, for the Continent, when the Baron de Thile, Secretary of Legation, will be accre dited as Charge d'Affaires. MISCELLANEOUS. Within the last few days a numerously signed requisition from the inhabitant rate-payers.of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, has been presented to Alderman Gibbs, soliciting him, as churchwarden, to take the sense of the parishioners respect ing the adoption of the Act for the better regulation of ves tries, enacted in the second year of the reign of King Wil liam IV., and commonly known as Hobhouse's Act, whereby the interest of the rate-payers would be more largely repre sented in the parish vestry than they are at present in the select one. The Alderman has complied with the requisi tion, and there is no doubt that there will be a large majority of votes in favour of the alteration, and that it will come into effect at Easter. At the annual meeting of students held on Tuesday, says the Aberdeen Herald of Saturday, for the election of the Lord Rector of Marischal College and University, the votes were equally divided between the Marquis of Breadalbane and the Marquis of Bute. The result is, there can be no Rector for this year. The Archbishop of York, the Earl of Ripon, Lord Stanley, the Earl of Shrewsbury, and the Earl of Cardigan, are amongst the stewards for the approaching dinner of the City of London General Pension Society, at which the Marquis of Clanricarde presides, on the Ist May. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, March 6.

UNIVERSITIES IN SCOTLAND. Sir G. CLERK presented a petition from the ministers and elders of the University of St. Andrew's, in Scotland, praying the House to give no sanction to any attempt to sever the connexion between the Scotch Universities and the State. CORN-LAWS. Mr. PLUMPTRE presented ninety-one petitions from Canterbury and other places, complaining of the proceedings of the Anti-Corn-law League, and pray ing that no alteration might be made in the corn-laws. Sir H. DOUGLAS presented petitions against the Birkenhead Dock Bill. MARRIAGE AiNTD DIVORCE BILL. The second reading of this Bill was postponed for a fortnight. ATHLONE ELECTION COMMITTEE. Mr. PAKINGTON appeared at the bar, and said, he had been directed by the Committee appointed to try the merits of the petition against the return for Athlone, to state, that a material witness, named Mark Quin, was unable to attend to give evidence before the Committee, in consequence of . his being at present imprisoned f o r d e bt, and his evidence could not be obtained without the intervention of that House. The Committee therefore prayed the House to take such steps as they might think fit •to secur e th e attendance of the said Mark Quin before the Committee. The Honourable Member then moved that Mr. Speaker do issue his warrant for the attendance of the witness, which was agreed to. NOTICES OF MOTION.—BUENOS AYRES. Mr. EWART gave notice that, instead of his question to the First Lord of the Treasury, of which COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert walked in the Royal Gardens of Buckingham Palace yesterday morning. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester visited her Majesty yesterday afternoon.

Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office for the Governor of Hong -Kong. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. We have had some serious misgivings about the opening of her Majesty's Theatre. The impresario of the Italiens in Paris of late suddenly engaged in the most inauspicious con flict with his troupe; the interference of the gentlemen of the long robe was demanded by both parties, and the artists on whose assistance we reckoned for the opening appeared des tined to remain imprisoned in the interminable legal purga tory. of a French court of justice. Fortunately, our energetic London lessee took the alarm, started for Paris on Tuesday, pacified the combatants, removed the difficulty, set Forna sari free, and embarked him on his road here, returned to London on Monday, and that day settled the opening of her Majesty's Theatre for Saturday next. The Opera will open with the new ballet Esmeralda, and with Persiani and the ew tenor, Correlli, in Adelia ; Fomasari appearing in the ensuing week: It is a most laudable innovation to begin the season wfth a new ballet, supported by such dancers. Esmeralda, re port says, is most splendidly got up, and enlivened by charming music, by the author of Undine„ the triumphant ballet of last season. Carlotta Grisi enacts Victor Hugo's poetical heroine, whilst Perrot assists the fair dansatrice with his unrivalled pantomimic powers, performing a part which has raised many a smile amongst those who are con versant with the plot of the original novel. The beautiful Frasi, another fair daughter of Terpsichore, who appears for the first time, is the fit representative of Fleur de Lys. Adelia will this year, as last, be the first opera of the season, and it is fortunately chosen, being a short opera, to precede the first performance of a new ballet, on the first night of the season ; the performance might otherwise have lasted till the last wax lights had burnt out—a consideration in which we critics are deeply interested, we whose labours begin at those very moments when the votaries of pleasure enjoy their first slumbers. In other respects we may safely assert that never did the Opera begin under such auspices. Already, at this moment, when so many of the nobility are absent from town, and before the day of the opening of the Opera is known, the list of subscribers, which we have with consi derable trouble and difficulty made out, is brilliant and nume rically strong beyond all precedent. We annex a list below, and it will be seen that, independent of her Gracious Majesty the Queen and the Queen Dowager, and their Royal High nesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, nine Dukes have taken boxes, and their example has been imi tated by many of the highest and noblest personages of the peerage ; whilst the House of Commons is re ' presented by M.l'.'s without number. If the subscrip tion proceeds as it does at present, within a very few days every vacant box or stall in the house will be se cured, and then we shall publish the general list, pointing out the habitual seat of each subscriber, and thus affording our readers information which we know they value, from the eagerness with which the catalogue raisonnee we published last year was sought after. We rejoice at this favourable aspect of affairs, not only on account of the lessee, who has so ably extricated the theatre from its former despondency, but because it is the accomplishment of our predictions, and it proves the correctness of our opinion regarding her Ma jestv's Theatre. These opinions were once considered pecu liarities; but they now enjoy general vogue. The opera will, therefore, in all probability, be still more splendid than in the preceding year—the most auspicious season on record. The list we publish will give our readers a foretaste of the spectacle before the curtain. There is nothing that can be compared to the coup d'ceil afforded by such an assemblage at her Majesty's Theatre. On en tering you behold above, amidst the blaze of light, all the fairest women of this land, with her gracious Majesty at their head, whilst below you encounter, in the passages of the pit, the personages of the most exalted rank, and those who through their many avenues have achieved fame or fortune, and are the objects of the admiration or the envy of the world, whether denizens of the land, or exalted foreigners on a visit of curiosity. It is not, therefore, astonishing that on certain nights last year, the railroads brought crowds of spectators to the Opera even from very distant parts of the provinces. As regards art, our Opera combines all the mate rial elements of the Italian Opera and of the French Aca demie de Musique—or, in other words, unites the queen of the lyrical school, the Italian, with all that is most perfect in the French choregraphic system ; presenting us in turn all the best dancers of all the first theatres in Eurpose. We may, therefore, safely assert that it surpasses everything of the kind in Europe, and every year its attraction must be more deeply felt as long as it is maintained on its proper footing. Th;following is the list of the first subscribers : The Queen. The Queen Dowager. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Dukes and Duchesses—Their Graces the Duke of Wel lington, Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Duke and Duchess of Somerset, Duke and Duchess of Montrose, Duke of Devon shire, Duke and Duchess of Roxburgh, Duke and Duchess of Bedford, Duke and Duchess of Leinster, Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch.

Mr. BEULER'SCON CEIt --- T. - 7 — ThiSientieman, so well known for the songs he has produced, full of originality, and descriptive of English customs, will give his annual concert at the Crown and Anchor on Monday next, and we con fidently trust that the " farmers' friends," especially those in the neighbourhood of Aylesbury, will attend, and call for the song, " The Man that could not get Warm." We don't see it in the excellent selection for the evening's entertain ment, but if any of Sir R. Peel's kind friends should be present, and wish to hear the song that created so much merriment at a Farmers' Club in Buckinghamshire, the author will delight them by giving it in his own peculiar style. Mr. Beuler has engaged some excellent singers for the occasion ; among others, Morgan, who has no equal in giving Irish songs with true pathos and native character. He will sing "Widow Machree" and " St. Patrick's Day." Mr. Sporle will give " The Star of Glengary ;" Mrs. Aveling Smith " Come per me serano," and Mr. Crouch " Thady O'Toole." In the course of the evening a fantasia on the concertina will be given by Mr. Alfred Sedgwick, and imitations of popular actors by Mr. Leman Rede. PUGILISM.—Tuesday the long pending prize-fight between Cullen and Rowe was decided near Gravesend. The men were matched for a stake of 501., and a good deal of betting took place, Cullen being the favourite. A steamer, provided for the occasion, started from Hungerford pier, with the combatants and a strong muster of the pugilistic fancy. On arriving at the appointed locality the men prepared for action, and, after shaking hands together in the usual way, they immediately commenced with great severity, when Rowe soon gave evidence of his being the best " general." How ever, the men continued the contest . with great courage and pcience for fifty-seven minutes, when Rowe was declared the bailer agtidat the cheering Maio Mend& FREEMASONRY. TgE v , THE ELECTION OF GRANDMASTER th 'r UNITED GRAND LODGE OF E NG. "'" AND WALES. ;o d for After nearly twelve months' interregnum, th e P er ' 04 the election of a successor to the lamented Duke of 5, 05 ,,,a the late Grand Master, by annual election, arrived,Of great, indeed, was the interest felt in a ra„,,n t wi t o ag such momentous import to the Royal craft. Istort intermission has given to every province a nd under the masonic sway—from England to Indio ;hi, ficient time for consideration as to whose hands tios important trust should be confided. The c ousin provided for the lamented occasion, and the fro t bt Master, the Earl of Zetland, assumed, accordingy honourable duty of presiding ad interim. IV e co ar faithfully did he perform this duty. It was 11° os o, mon difficulty to follow the steps of his Royalpredec who, for upwards of thirty years, had filled th e hoi r sonic throne. The importance of the trust , e ia ever, disposed many of the fraternity to cast 1 11 0,0 4 toward the Marquis of Salisbury, the DePuti„ o ra Master, partly from personal preference, pa rtl y bably from a desire of change in the views wide ifs Pro-Grand Master may entertain on other subject Loy; do not presume to dispose of the question c 5.7,, was when we observe that m either case such / le "i o lti erroneous, as being at variance with Masonic Pt 11 , 1 1;01 nor shall we follow the course of some badly o ts, weekly Contemporaries, who, in endeavouring tooff_ the presumed claims of most honourable btba?, Marquis of Salisbury, to such a distinguish ed , lir have lost sight of the just claims which the trwl die r sonic character of the Earl of Zetland presented teLk attention—claims so apparent to the zealous and Oa ing part of the fraternity, that while gratitude " o il• have disposed them to have associated to e nsure It aft i liant majority, if not a unanimous election—they4,o nu` strictly the wishes of their noble brother, that no clintiot whatever should be made. It is not improbs, hle. 0141, this honourable conduct had its weight with the .01'4e, who, although present at the last Grand Lodge' he also was nominated, was silent on the subject. bid The meeting was held in the large hall, and eal" upwards of five hundred grand officers —was t ' ers ,jaaff, masters, and wardens of lodges.
