In the House of Lords, after the presentation of etitions, the Marquis of CLANRICARDE gave notice that, on Tuesday next, he would make a motion re lative to the appointment of Mr. O ' BRIEN as a sti iendiary magistrate. The'Marquis of NoultANur vvished to know whe ther the East India Company .had issued an order fur the recal of Lord ELLENEOROUG}I. .The Earl of RIPON answered in the tVermative, hut , aid that step bad not received the sanction of her MAJESTY'S Government.

In an3wer to a question from Mr. R. PEEL said",MAcA i i . r . A y, Sir on Wednesday her -Majesty's :Govern- ~, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 97, 1844. ment had received a communication from the Indian Board of Directors, announcing that they had exer• cised the power which the law gave them, and re called Lord ELLENBOROUGH. Mr. MACAULAY, on receiving this information, said he would defer the motion relative to Gwalior, of which he had given notice, as it would be more agreeable to justice to wait till Lord ELLENBOROUGH could defend himself in his place in the other House. Mr. RoEsucic referred to a letter which he had received from Mr. SMYTHE, the Member for Canter bury, relative to certain remarks which he had made as to the politics of that gentleman, and which bore all the symptoms of a challenge. The letter ended thus :—"I call upon you to state that you did not mean to apply these words to me, and, if you did, to retract them, or refer to a friend, with whom my friend, Captain GARRETT, may communicate." Thib led to en episode in the grave proceedings of the evening, which was ended by Mr. SMYTIIE saying that the matter should go no further. It seemed to be the general impression that the Hon. Member for Canterbury showed both spirit and discretion through out the whole of the proceedings. Sir ROBERT PEEL then moved the order of the day relative to the charges against Mr. FERRAND. The SPEAKER asked if Mr. FERRAND was in his place. Mr. FERRAND answered at once, and, after advert ing to the charges made against him, concluded in these words :—" In the name of the people of Eng land I refuse to plead at your bar." Sir JAMES GRAHAM denied every imputation made against him by Mr. FERRAND, and said that after the most diligent inquiry and search among Government papers he had been unable to find any trace of any correspondence with Mr MoTT, or with any parties connected with the Poor-law Commission. After some further remarks he said he was an accused party ; he asked for a a trial and acquittal, and he was sure the House would do him justice. Mr. S. WORTLEY did not consider the expressions used by Mr. FERRAND would bear out the imputation put upon them ; but he rose chiefly to ascertain from that 'gentleman himself whether he had used the words with the meaning attributed to them. Mr. FERRAND said nothing. Sir ROBERT PEEL then addressed the House, but was interrupted by the SPEAKER, who said, according to the usages of the House, the Hon. Member for Knaresborough should withdraw. Upon this Mr. FERRAND left the House, and was followed by Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Mr. HOGG ; Mr. PETER BORTHWICK closed the rear, amidst shouts of laughter. • Sir ROBERT PEEL resumed, and, after adverting to the charges, moved two resolutions, the substance of Which was, that the imputations made against Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Mr. HOOO, by Mr. FEERAND, are wholly unfounded and calumnious, and have no effect in the slightest degree upon the honour and character of the Members to whom they refer. After an amendment had been moved by Mr. I'RENCH, which found no seconder, the motion of Si r ROBERT PEEL was carried unanimously. On the order of the day being read for the House I:ioing into Committee on the Factories Bill, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that the Bill be referred q) a Select Committee. Mr. WARD seconded the amendment, and, after a number of speakers had ad dressed the House, the motion was, on a division, tleg,atived by a majority of 103. 1 The House then went into Committee, and adopted st.veral clauses. On resuming, the Poor-law Committee was post honed till the 10th of May. The other. orders of the clay were then disposed of, and the House adjourned tit Twelve o'Clock. The FERRAND farce is played out ; and the cur in has dropped upon one of the most absurd pieces If acting that even St. Stephen's ever witnessed. Chere is no stage like the House of Commons for inacting bombast upon—no arena in which the fe rpeity of the tiger, or the agility of the monkey, can tie so well displayed; and whether it be a FERRAND that threatens, or a ROEBUCK that squeaks, provided the roar of the one be not too terrible, or the pipe of the other too shrill, we know no audience So willing to listen, to cheer, and to encourage the actors. But if the bounds which custom has prescribed be over stepped—if the least departure take place from that system of conventionality which allows truth to be negatived by mistake, modesty to be borne down by assurance, and independence to be overrun by party on all sides ; then there is no audience so severe as the Lower House of Parliament. What bet ter stage could have been selected fur the display which three nights have witnessed? What more favourable audience could, have been hoped for; and ‘Vhat more ridiculous piece could have been pre sented, than the one which has been performed, listened to, and unanimously approved ? Yes, ap proved ; for if the farce had not been approved, it would not have been allowed to he played out—and we. do not know any other tribunal, save the English House of Commons, that would have entertained such a cause, or listened to such a case as Mr. FERRAND presented. No Judge, sitting in the outer court of the Queen's, Bench, would have suffered the time of the Court to be occupied for one moment by such a subject as the High Court of Parliament debated for three nights. , The present House of Commons, admitted on all hands to be the most corrupt House that ever assem bled in the walls of St. Stephen's—a House in which are found a greater number of MeMbers whose seats were procured by bribery and corroption . ;,than in any Parliament within our memory, and numbering among its inmates men whose' names' are now, and always . will be, associated with those' of renegade politicians, convicted bribers, and that race of saints and sinners with whom the pOssesSion Of a virtue is deemed ample atonement for the commission of a crime, was a fit tribunal to deCide upon the conduct Mr. FERBAND. And it is saying but little against FERRAND, to declare that in such a House he had no friend—nor much for that Hous'e, to say that it repudiated Mr. FERRAND'S grossness. Mr. FERRAND we believe to be an honest, en thusiastic blockhead; far better' suited to look after his Own pigs, than to legislate forl the SWinish tif ude. He was,a fit tool for the `rory craft to work with, when they wanted to attain some party object lle was proud of distinction, no matter how gained,; he was ready to command a fire-ship, or to lead a forlorn_ hope—to assault a watchman, or to break a window; All came alike to him; and the Tories used him well-:-that is, they used him fur all their dicti and dangerous work—and then, why they used him ill. He was troublesome—he was unma nageable—he kept low company- 7 -he associated with OASTLER and others whom the Tories .petted when out of power, but hated when in. And then FER RAND rebelled. Can it be wondered at ? Can flesh and blood stand GRAHAM'S peevish spleen—PEEL's cool scurn—Sra;stieY's fiery petulance,? Flesh and blood cannot do it, in the shape of Mr. FERRAND. And so he did not and - would not stand it. Verily he has his reward ; so have his late Tory friends, now his enemies, and more of such they will have ; for if ever party deserved the hate amen of principle, it is that unprincipled party which now holds the helm of Government, but has neither honesty, talent, nor ability to guide it. The recal of Lord ELLENBOROUGH from India, which we announced as being under consideration some weeks back; is, at length, officially stated, and the next mail to India will carry out the orders for his return: We presume that Sir JAMES GRAHAM .will be his successor in the Governor-Generalship-,-a post which has long been the abject of the renegade baronet's'am . Mann, and which Lady. GRAHAM's dis inclination to quit the shores of England is, we believe, th e on l y obstacle to his at once posse Ling. All discussion in Parliament as to the policy of Lord ELLENnonauCtes Government, will be, of course, suspended until hi s r e t u rn ; and, whateverfaults may he charged against his administratio n , it must ib b le e conceded, on all•hand s , that the outward and visible signs of prosperity are more apparent in India now than when he assumed the reins of Government. Where the policy of Lord ELLENnottonan might have led the rule of England, and. how far such policy might have been wise and judicious, are questions that. may have • puzzled the Court of Directors and Sir ROBERT PEEL; but no one. for can deny that, bating a little absurdttLyL,EaNnßdoßalolouwinB. unposity and inflation , th e rule _ GH has been a successful, and for England, a triumphant one. There have been no gross mismanagements like that of Caubul—no defeat to be deplored—no incom petent commanders to be censured—and if the seeds of future disasters be sown, which we very much doubt, there are no symptoms or signs of them at present. Sir JAMES GRAHAM will have one great advantage in India. No man is more thoroughly hated or despised than he is by all parties at home — he may gain credit and honour abroad—the field is a wide one, and the opportunity ample. It is exceedingly edifying to see the entire House of Commons thrown into violent hysterics, as was the case the other night, by the conduct of an Hon. Member, whose worst fault seems to be that ha is too apt to be carried away by his prejudices, and to speak at random, without thought or premeditation We have few or no sympathies with Mr. FERRAND ; his politics, generally speaking, are our aver , sion ; we think him coarse —rude —rash —and inconsiderate to a degree; but we do not believe him capable of such a crime as that of deliberately and maliciously slandering the fair fame of a public in dividual, merely because he may happen to be op posed to him in politics. That the Member for Knaresborough has given just cause of offence to Sir JAMBS GRAHAM and Mr. HOOO, we are far from meaning to deny; but the case is by no means so aggravated a one as the sensitive delicacy of these gen tlemen would induce us to believe it is, and we can find nothing in the vague, random, indiscreet charge, brought so unceremoniously against them by Mr. FERRAND, that at all justifies their fierce, though virtuous, resentment. The common sense of the House of. Commons—a peculiar species of sense, by the bye, for which the Imperial Senate is by no means remarkable—has already decided, and warmly too, in their favour ; and there, we conceive, the matter should have been allowed to rest. As for the indignation of uninterested Members, which showed itself so fiercely on Tuesday night, we are at no loss to guess the cause in which it originated. Hon. Gentlemen were anxious to have the dullness of Parliamentary proceedings enlivened by the spectacle of a bear-bait; they had promised themselves great fun from the exhibition, and the dogs were all ready for a set-to ; but unfortunately, just at the moment when expectation was raised to the highest pitch, the bear refused to allow himself to be tied to the stake, but giving a surly grin of defiance at the dogs, turned tail, and bolted! This naturally caused great disappointment among the lovers of sport, which vented itself in just such a storm of execrations as was levelled against the late Monsieur CHABERT, the fire-eater, when he uncourteously declined allowing himself to be baked to death in an oven, merely to gratify the humane cu riosity of those who had paid their shillings to witness the pleasing spectacle. Mr. FERRAND has already been quite sufficiently roasted by the House of Commons —more especially by Messrs. GRAHAM, ROEBUCK, and Hooo—and we think they may now rest satisfied with the agreeable conviction that they have done him to a turn, like a goose on a kitchen spit. As regards Sir ROBERT. PEEL'S grave proposal of searching fur precedents as 'to the way in which the House has been in the habit of acting when Honour able Members happen to have made fools of themselves, never was there anything so sub limely and solemnly absurd! It reminds us of the awful gravity and business-like determination of purpose exhibited by Noodle in Tom Thumb, when he hears that Doodle has expressed himself irreve rently of that immaculate Ministerial functionary, Lord Grizzle. But, indeed, the whole affair of Mr. FERRAND appears to us to abound in the elements of the richest farce, and we do not despair of seeing it shortly transferred to the boards of the Hay- market, under the apt title of " Much Ado about Nothing; or, a Scene from St. Stephen's." And three nights have actually been wasted on this absurd matter, and at a period of the session, too, when every hour has its value! How much public business might have been got through within this space of time ! The great question of the Corn-law might have been dis cussed and settled one way or other, for the season ; the Factory Regulation Bill, and the changes in the New Poor-law measure might have been decided upon ; the Chancellor of the Exchequer might have brought forward his Budget ; and the Premier might have talked his usual amount of solemn sophistry on the subject of the Income-tax. In a few weeks, Ministers will—as they always do about a month or so after Easter—begin to pre face all their speeches with " at this late period of the session," &c., in justification of their favourite prac tice of shuffling off obnoxious measures; and yet we will venture to say not one of them will take into consideration that they themselves have helped to trifle away the time of the House, by givingsuch undue prominence and importance to this absurd squabble between Messrs. FERRAND, GRAHAM, and HOGG. The secret of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S intentions with regard to the renewal of the Bank Charter, and the revision of the Currency question, appears to have been better kept than is usually the case. where any given line of policy has been already discussed between the Government and a public corporate body. Our readers are aware that a •succinct statement of the alleged propositions of the Cabinet on the portant topics we allude to has been set abroad, on the authority, it is said, of communications con fidentially made •by a Director of the Bank of England to a certain private country banker. To that statement we will advert presently. But the authenticated state of the case remains simply as it stood on the day after the 21st ultimo, when Sir ROBERT PEEL, having received and heard the Depu tation commissioned to wait upon him by the General Meeting of Provincial Banker held in London, declined t'•r'disclose to them one word about he purposes of hei MAJESTY'S advisers touching the objects of the desired conference. Nothing certain or definitive, therefore, is actually known as to the course which the Preinier means to pursue in' the matter. So far from perpetrating any "great fact," he has vouchsafed no "sign," beyond, indeed, a shake of his head, doubtless as profound, but unhappily as inexplicable, as Lord BURLEIGH'S in the play. Yet , there were - " stuff and pith" _ enough in the- recent address transmitted to him from the "Private Bankers and the Joint-Stock Bankers of Yorkshire" to haie extracted—one should have thought —some glimpses of intention ; some shadowing forth of organized plans—in the principles and the 'details of which were involvcd the present hopes .or fears, the future well-being or prejudice, of millions of his countrymen. He was reminded, in that address, of the incalculable benefit which had been derived by the empire from the able exercise of those privileges of which, it was assumed, on the credit of the rumour we have already referred to, that he means and still means to deprive private banks and public banking 'companies. It was demonstrated to him that in proportion to the almost incalculable- benefit and aid which the commerce, agriculture, and industrial labours of the country had derived from those privileges=in the case 'of the former for nearly a century, of the latte r d ur i ng the last seventeen yeass--would• be the embarrassment, the distress, the panic, the widely-spreading in solyency and ruin, whiCh must ensue upon their abrogation. When the Premier was waited upon, he looked unutterable plausibilties, after the most ap proved forms of., official gesticulation ; and with oracular solemnity, said, "That, at present, on 'the part' of her MAJESTY'S Government; lie Must decline to say anything." With this statesmanlike and very interesting communication, he blandly bowed, and the Deputation retired. To keep his purposes secret is undoubtedly; in he general proposition, an .excellent property, in a Minister of State. No man has more forcibly illus trated its excellence than Sir ROBERT PEEL; but, e converso.' It is precisely what he has failed io'clo . on certain occasions of signal and momentous interest, to the public ; of vital importance to his own personal career as a Chief Minister of the Crown. Whether the case regarded the relief of Roman Catholic Dis abilities, or the extinction of rotten boroughs—the difficulty of making himself acceptable with the ladies of a Royal Household, or the crowning diffi-• culty of dealing with Ireland,—we have known Sir. ROBERT PEEL'S intentions au pied de lettre, for months before. They have been patent—transparent ; albeit he himself has thought aloud about them, and talked enigmatically of them, as if the world without had continued as blind and uninformed in reference to them as he could wish. No man has more ad birably imitated, in 'his time, the ostrich, who, if it can but thrust its own head into a bush, complacently imagines that all its pursuers are at fault. Now we are unwilling to give him credit for one jot of states- manlike sagacity, prudence, or discretion, on account ( of his dogged taciturnity in the present instance, with regard to a question so entirely sui genesis as the views which his Government may have adopted upon the future scheme - of banking and currency to be established throughout these kingdoms. Does Sir ROBERT PEEL mean to renew the Charter of the Bank of England upon its present terms, the currency and the standard of value remaining on the footing upon which they were placed by his never• to be-forgotten wonder of 1819 ? The experience of 1825-26, 1833-34, 1836-37 ; the seventeen years' trial or experiment and extensive working of the joint-stock banks, established in the closing years of GEORGE the FOURTH'S reign ; the uninter rupted, the panic-unstricken prosperity of Scotland, with its still unprohibited issue of 1/. and 21. notes since they were put down by statute in England— the increased monetary prosperity of Ireland, which has retained the same inestimable aid to the deve lopment of her agricultural and commercial resources —the increased stability of country banks from the modification of the enactments as to partnerships ap-. plicable to them, and the corresponding increase of popularity which has long attended their paper issucs in the rural districts ; these are elements, many of the most important of which could not be said to be in existence when the sane great question was last dealt with by Parliament; whilst others did not then, as they now do, co-exist and work together. Therefore it may be assumed that the Charter of the Bank will be renewed, on dif ferent terms. What these terms may be, it was the Premier's duty, surely, to have sufficiently announced before submitting them to Parliament, in order to give fair opportunity, to those who are best qualified to discuss such matters, to prepare themselves with whatever information, arguments, or statistics, may seem most applicable to a due appreciation of the faults or the merits of the Premier's statement. If no such previous intimation be given, we shall imagine, of course, that the same mys tification is to be practised on the Legislature as was employed in 1819 in forcing down a measure, every line of which told of an organic change in the most prosperous of monetary systems which the world had ever witnessed, on the authority, in op position to so long a practical experience of its prodi gious powers, of its astounding success, of anybody and every body who was less qualified to pronounce a judgrx,ent on the matter, than those who, though pos sessed of the greatest light and intelligence and practical knowledge that could have been brought to bear upon it, were never examined at all ! Parlia ment is to be taken by surprise immediately after the Easter recess of 1844, as it was after the Easter recess of 1819. Wanting, then, all authenticated statements on the matter, let us suppose the alleged intended propositions of Government really to be those which it will venture to bring forward. What are they ? To suppress the smaller note circulation in Scot land and Ireland, to compel the withdrawal, within a given time, of all local and provincial paper (bank notes), to substitute in its stead Bank of England paper, exclusively; and to constitute the Bank of England the sole Bank of Issue. What may be the quid pro quo which the Bank of England is to secure to the Government in return for these outrageous monopoly-keys,—kevs, that are to lock up and let out at pleasure the whole paper currency of the Em pire, —has not yet transpired in any shape so tangible as to warrant us in noticing it. But if it be gravely intended,—if it be really pur posed—to bring forward propositions of this kind, the Government presuming to enter on such a task had 'need take care that they steer clear of future impeachment. The Minister presiding over such a Government must have lost his reputation for habitual caution and cold conception, who will challenge the indignation of a people already so grievously shattered as they have been by the dis astrous Act of 1819, in asking their assent to further measures for crippling the currency, paralysing in dustry, checking agriculture by drying up the fountains of its encouragement—Obstructing com- merce by damming up the circulation in one main channel, instead of giving, it the freest flow through multiplied currents ; and, lastly, by assigning over to one Corporation, whose alternate expansions and con tractions of the currency, even when modified by the controlling counter agency of joint-stock and other banks of issue, have been so abrupt and violent as on more than one occasion to have brought the nation withintwenty-four hours of bankruptcy—an unlimited, uncontrolled, unchecked, unmitigated power over that currency which, under less perilous conditions, they have so grossly mismanaged, and so disastrously tam pered with. On a future day we will consider to what extent the mischief of such exclusive powers to the Bank will be aggravated by the coincident main tenance of PEEL'S gold standard—if, indeed, that ex tent be capable of adequate appreciation. The accounts from Madrid are to the 18th. Ac cording to one of the Government journals, the Castellano, reports of a marriage between the QUEEN and the eldest son of Don CARLOS were current in the capital, and generally believed. Her MAJESTY, it was expected, would set out for Catalonia about the beginning of. May. It is said she is suffering under a scrofulous complaint, and that her medical attendants have recommended the use of sulphurous waters. On the 18th her MAJESTY, accompanied by her matter and sister, assisted at a solemn Te Deum which the Knighti of the Military Order of Alcantara caused to be sung in the Church of the Holy Sacra ment in honour of the return of the QUEEN MOTHER to Spain. The Three per Cents. closed on the 18th instan and a a t t 3670*dacJas•sh: 37i at 60 days; th e Fives at 22i • The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with debates n the two - Chambers on education and improvement of prison discipline. The speakers in general display much statistical knowledge on these important sub jects, but, as the matters at issue are almost entirely exempt from the influence of political prejudices and popular excitement, the speeches excite little interest. On Tuesday Baron CUAULES DUPIN made a speech in favour of the Government Bill on Education, de fended with much ability the course adopted by the University, and showed that the outcry raised against it by the Church was entirely unfounded. "There were," said he, " four sources from which instruction might be obtained—the Royal colleges, the Communal colleges, private schools, and establishments where young men were prepared for the priesthood. The Royal colleges only contained 18,700 pupils, com prising amongst them 2,200 free pupils—certainly not too many for a population of 34,000,000 souls. The number farmed in the three othet,kinds of establish ments amounted to upwards of 50,000. And yet, in the face of those figures, the University was accused of monopoly ? In 17ii9, the number of pupils who received whole bourses or partial aid from the State was not less than 40,000, and at present the whole of the pupils receiving bourses or half-bourses were not more than 7,000. This difference undoubtedly did honmir 'to the former period, and shoWed that all Was not to be rejected in the ancient regime. In the present day, there were 43 departments with Royal colleges, and just as many without any; so that, whilst accusations were made against the University for its grasping spirit, half the kingdom could not by any possibility be under its influence' In the Chamber of Deputies M. CANNOT opposed the Prison Bill, because he looked upon the confine ment of prisoners not so much in the light of punish ment as a means of reformation ; the silent system would not 'effect - tbat,'and it had, in fact, been aban doned in several countries. M. Ds BEAUMONT, though supporting the principle of the Bill, was op posed to absolute isolation. It had been tried in only one prison in America, and had not succeeded. The Bill only isolated prisoners from all vicious con. tact, and there was nothing to prevent their receiving religious instruction whilst so confined. Looking to the question of mortality, the Hon. Deputy main tained that the prisoners held apart afforded fewer in stances of death than others. In the prisons of France the mortality, from 1839 to 1843, had been eight per cent., and in the prison of Fontevraud it had reached 12 per cent., whilst in the penitentiary of Pennsyl vania, where the solitary system was adopted, the deaths were only two per cent. He next alluded to the alleged cases of madness caused by solitary con flnement;and declared that there was much exagge ration in what had been alleged. The debate was adjourned. At the same sitting M. DUCHATEL, the Minister of the Interior, moved a vote of credit for 506,000 f., for the establishment of a new telegraphic line between Paris and Havre, and Boulogne and Avranches, so as to open with the capital a correspon dence with the entire coast of the Channel. The line will also communicate with Brest by Avranches. What a contrast this forms with the niggardly economy in this respect of the English Government, who grudge the expense of only one or two lines ! The Funds were still improving. On Wednesday the Five per Cents. closed at 122 f. 40c., and the Threes at 83f. 75c. The following are extracts from the papers : "The Constitutionnel says that Admiral Hamelin's depar ture has been countermanded, and that the Government is taking measures to stop the discontent which the recal of M. Dupetit Thouars was creating in the marine. "The National Assembly of Greece, before it separated, passed the Electoral Law. By this law, the provinces having a population of more than 10,000 are to elect one deputy ; where the population exceeds 10,000, and does not reach 20,000, there are to be two deputies; for 20,000 up to 30,000, three ; and above 30,000, four. The Ipsariots are to choose three deputies, the Hydriotes three, and the Spezziots two. Foreigners fixing their residences in Greece are to be allowed to elect deputies, when they are sufficiently numerous in a community to amount to one-half of the minimum fixed for the natives. The National Assembly has voted the erection of a statue at Napoli, in honour of I. Capo d'lstria." " The Courrier Francais says :---The negotiations for the marriage of, the Grand Duchess Olga of Russia, with the Archduke Stephen, son of the Archduke Palatine, which were expected to be resumed by the - Emperor Nicholas, at Vienna, are entirely broken off, and he will not go to the Austrian capital. The Cabinet of Vienna attributes the rupture to re ligious scruples. There is, in fact, a clause in the Austrian family compact which formally interdicts, without any pos sible exception, all mixed marriages by Princes of the Impe rial House. But Count Orloff, in virtue of full powers to that effect, having declared that there would be no obstacle to the young Princess becoming a Roman Catholic after her mar riage, it was thought that Prince Metternich would not ven ture to resist; but his'genius, fertile in expedients, found an other means of relieving himself from the embarrassment, and invoked the above-mentioned clause as indispensably requiring that the Princess should change her religion before the marriage could be solemnised. On referring to the Court of St. Petersburgh, Count Orloff received orders to break off the negotiations." The Courrier attributes the conduct of Prince METTERNICH to his wish to avoid the close political connection with Russia which might be expected to arise from the marriage. " The Debats states, from its Constantinople correspond ence, that the Porte has at last taken measures for sending troops against the Albanians, who continue to commit the greatest excesses in the provinces. A thousand men hive been marched from Salonica to Uranse, and two regiments have taken their departure from Constantinople. At Uscup, the Turkish Governor has seized four: een of the rebels, and had their heads taken off in the public streets. The child which was detained a short time ago in the harem of a Bey at Constantinople, and forcibly made a Mahomedan, has been delivered up to Sir Stratford Canning; and one of the Greek girls whom the Turks of Broussa constrained to abjure her religion, has been restored to the Patriarch. These reparations are the first fruits of the energetic reclamations of the repre sentatives of France and England." THE BOURSE—WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24. First Highest Lowest .. . Price. Price. Price.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 23.—The Chamber of Representatives renewed its labours yesterday. It sat with closed doors to re ceive communications from the Government on the commer• cial questions. It was decided that the members of the Senate might be present. The Chamber again sat in a Secret Committee, and heard the first part of a report of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the commercial negotiation of Belgium since 1830. We are assured that all this part of the report related to the negotiations with France, to the circumstance which led to the concessions of Belgium in 1836, then to conference, and lastly to formal proposals tending to a customs union with that country. The Minister read the documents relating to the projected union, which made, it is said, a great impression. The Minister will continue the reading of this report to morrow. The members of the Commission whom the Government sent to England to study the system of prison discipline in that country, returned to Brussels some days ago. A letter from Rome says, that the Count d'Oultremont, Minister of Belgium at the Holy See, had gone, in the middle of this month, to Florence, to be present at the marriage of Prince Luitpold, of Bavaria, to the Archduchess Augusta of Tuscany. A letter from Vienna, of the 15th, says that the Archduke Francis, fourteen years of age, the eldest son of the Archduke Francis Charles, and at present the presumptive heir to the Imperial Crown, was attacked with scarlatina, but that the disorder proceeded in the usual course, and that no alarm was felt.

The account sent from the Heath contained all the essential particulars of the races, and indicated the effect of the 1,060 Guineas Stakes on the position of some of the Oaks mares. In the evening it was more decided, Sister to Martingale rising to 8 to 1 (taken), and Me• rope to 12 to 1. The Princess, so far from being affected by the Bee's unaccountable defeat (very few believe it to have been her true running), rose several points, and from the disposition shown in several quarters, is evi dently destined to become a still more prominent fa vourite. Beyond a large outlay on the Ugly Buck at 9 to 2, and a decline in Bay Momus, consequent on Cockamaroo's indifferent debut, there was nothing fresh in the Derby betting.

The races to-day, only two in number, were run off at an early hour, and but for the great interest that a match between the Duke of Bedford and Lord Exeter almost always invariably excites, would have been a sorry finish to a brilliant meeting.

The only novelty in the cast was the appearance of Mademoiselle Favanti in the part of Adelgisa, which she performed with great success. Her representation of the character was full of delicacy and feeling ; and the principal pieces be longing to the part were given by her with much brauty and effect, particularly the exquisite duet " Deli, con se," which we have never heard more charmingly 'performed. G risi was sublime. Her Norma, as a piece ,of musical tragedy, is se cond only to the Medea of Pasta. Would it not be worth while to revive• Mayer's opera, in order that :Grisi might perform that part ? It is a finer part'than Norma, and Grisi's representation of it would not yield . to that of Pasta in beauty, terror, or grandeur.. The music, to be sure, is not a. the present fashion ; but it contains some beautiful things, and in the present dearth of no velty, would vary the monotony of the modern style. Mario performed the part of Tollione, which he had not done for several seasons. His acting and singing Were admirable. The Melodists' Club gave their third dinner on Thursday, when there was a numerous muster of members. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vitatatt Optitton. Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The King of the French arrived at Dreux on Monday evening at six o'clock, and was met at his entrance by the great body of the inhabitants, who accompanied him with loyal acclamations to the Palace, where he was received by the Prefect, the General commanding the district, the Sub- Prefect, thG Mayor, and Municipal Council. His Majesty reviewed the National Guards. In the evening there was a grand dinner at, the Palace. Next day he returned to Paris. The Prince de Joinville arrived at Rochefort on the 19th inst., at four in the afternoon. On his landing from his ship in a Royal barge, with sixteen rowers, he was received by the Maritime Prefect and the Marine Staff, and attended with all honours to the Prefecture, after being addressed by the several constituted authorities. The next day the Prince visited all: the marine establishments and the hospital, ex pressing his satisfaction at the order in which he found them. At five o'clock there was a grand dinner of 120 guests, and in the evening a ball at the theatre. Lady Marianne Erskine, daughter of John Francis Era kine, Earl of Mar, died lately in Paris, at the age of seventy. The deceased, who was blind from her birth, had resided for several years in France. The marriage of the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke of Tuscany with Prince Luitpold, of Bavaria, was celebrated on the 15th inst. at Florence. It is said that the Duke of Genoa, the second son of Charles Albert, and the Prince de Carignan, are to marry the two daughters of the Duke of Modena. It is said that the Porte is about sending Fuad Effendi on a special mission to Madrid, nominally to congratulate the young Queen on her majority, but really to treat of the ex isting differences between Spain and the kmperor of Morocco. The Prussian State Gazette publishes the budget for 1844. The total of the receipts is 57,677,194 rix-dollars (the rix dollar is worth about 2s. 11d.) ; the expenditure is set down at exactly the same amount, being made to balance b y an item of 500,000 rix-dollars for unforeseen expenses. The War department alone is down for 24,604,908 rix-dollars. Accounts from Athens of the sth inst. announce the for mation of the new Cabinet. M. G.

Gore, the cont rac tor for the c leansing of the streets of the City of London, appeared at the Mansion-house, upon a summons issued by the Lord Mayor, upon his Lordship's own evidence, to answer for having neglecting to remove an immense mass of filth from Puddle-dock. It was stated that it was a public laystall, and that its state was mos horrible. The Lord Mayor said he should at once instruci the City Solicitor to proceed against the contractor by in. dictment. A young woman, about twenty years of age, named Susan Doherty, was charged at Marylebone with having stolen Bank-notes and other property to a considerable amount, be longing to Miss Elizabeth Mary Hodgson, a dressmaker, re siding at 17, Old Cavendish-street, Cavendish-square. She was remanded till Thursday. A cage of a very novel and singular nature was brought be fore Mr. Burrell, at Queen-square, by Skinner, an inspector of hawkers' and pedlars' licenses, who charg e d Samuel Slater, a man in the employ of Mr. Collins, at Paddington, with hawk ing hay for sale without a license, by which he bad incurred the penalty of 10/. The offence was proved, but it was alleged on the part of the defendant, that hay came under the section of the Act which allows victuals to be sold by hawking. The Bench took time to consider the objection. Thomas Cornell, a tall dark man, well dressed, was charged at Union-hall, with being concerned with another man not in custody, in robbing George Ford, a countryman, of 1101. in Bank of England notes and sovereigns. The pri soner, who is well known as a frequenter of races and fairs, and belongs to a gang of fellows named " magsmen," was committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court. George Ward, in the employ of Messrs. Cottam and Hal len, the ironfounders, of the Cornwall-road, was charged at the same office with stealing some brass work belonging to an iron lighthouse intended for the Island of Bermuda. The pri soner was remanded. An action brought against Sir W. Gossett, Sergeant-At- Arms of the House of Commons, was postponed till next term in consequence of the illness of the Attorney-General.

The receipt of the half-pay was sanctioned .under a recent Act, 6 and 7 Vic., c. 99, sec. 24. One of the officdrs is a judge in, the Western District Court of Canada, at 2001. a year, and his half-pay is four shillings a day . ; and an other is a Sub-Inspector of Factories, at 270/. a year, and his half-pay is 584103.
