The Irish State trials, after a duration of four iveeks, are now about to close. The Chief Justice *commenced his address to the jury on Friday, and continued it up to Saturday till about seven o'clock, Ivhen the jury retired to consider their verdict. If the jury decide according to the law laid down by Vie Judge, there can be no doubt about the result. The language of the Chief Justice was remarkable fur its amenity and apparent impartiality, but it was remarkable also for a determination to convince the ry that the conspiracy had been sufficiently proved. Ti le Bench, it would appear from his speech, are unanimous, and we, therefore, do not impute to him dividual blame, but whether the jury be unani in 00 or not, is another question. All we can say ( , that the accused have not been tried by their p ers, and that the new system adopted under the Q avernment of the Citizen King, by which all State • iminals are tried by the Upper Chamber, is as con ey tent with constitutional liberty as that which pre- Tai is in the sister island. Will a conviction make tb e union of the two countries more acceptable to the sh nation ? j Since the above was written, we have received ?lligence that the Jury returned a verdict of GUILTY. The House of Commons met on Saturday, in rn t ience of no House bei ng ma d e on the p &v. The only subject brought f orwar d w r a e:mus h )611'1 of Sir JAMES GRAHAM for an a lt erat i on in thee Dos Poor-law Act, and we are gratifi e d to f i nd that sbie bastardy clause, which we opposed from the be & ning, is to he materially altered. The unfortu- Tax to victim is not to be thrown on the wide world an d compelled to maintain her offspring, or go into a • ,rkhouse. Her oath as to the putative father is sl)* be taken before two Magistrates, with corroborative :fence, and the Magistrates are to judge according Jo- the evidence. If the evidence is sufficient, the fel ter is to provide for the maintenance of the child, ot!.go to prison, according to the old law. This is Just 1 % The new law in this respect was unjust and • .10l,and has been inoperative, because it was unjust ecrWSlsiifildieruel. Why throw the whole punishment of crime weaker sex, and allow wea!thy and heartless _to escape We believe this eauss has done *lie damage the Act than any other. It advo -40,1,.1,.\ 174 &tip most barefaced cruelty. But this is not Zrd 6 - A the only modification required. More out-door re- lief should be given, and persons in certai circum stances, because they have a little income, but not enough to keep body and soul together, should not be thrust out of society and immured in a work house. There are means for ascertaining whether they are really objects of charity, and, with the ex pensive machinery of the new Act, there must be egregious fault in some department, if measures are not adopted for making a distinction between the idle and the worthless, and those who have been subjected to all the ills of poverty from events which no fore sight could prevent. There were great abuses under the old system, but that is no justification for ex treme severity under the new. What the public want is to keep down the enormous amount of the poor rates by discouraging idleness and profligacy, and not by a wholesale condemnation of all who are com pelled by adversity to solicit parish relief. The following paragraph appeared in a leading article of the Post, a day or two since, and we quote it for the purpose of making a few comments on it : " A rumour has found its way into some of the news papers respecting a Central Association for the Pro tection of Agriculture, to be formed in London. Some names have been mentioned of Members of both Houses of Parliament, who are to take a leading part in this Association; if anything of the kind be on foot, it would be well that the honest and zealous friends of Protection should be on their guard against the possible construction of a Society which, under the name of protection for agri culture, might, in reality and truth, be merely a protection for Ministerial policy." In another part of the same article our Contemporary repeats his warning to the Monopolists in these terms :—" The agriculturists of England cannot be too cautious not to fetter themselves in any way. Those to whom they trusted in 1841 have as yet done nothing to show that their championship may be confided in." It is clear from this that, notwith standing his late declaration in Parliament that he contemplated not the slightest alteration in the exist ing corn-law, the Monopolists have no great confi dence in Sir ROBERT PEEL. They still regard him with as much distrust as ever, knowing well that %%hen expediency forces him to alter his views, and to regard the sliding-scale in a different light to that in which he now views it, he will not hesitate to make a sacrifice of the few tattered shreds of consist ency that still remain to him. We deny not—we never have denied—that the Premier is placed in a peculiarly difficult position, and that, turn which way he will, he is beset with obstructions of no ordinary character; still, it must be borne in mind that his diffi culties are in a great degree of his own creation, and that if he be now hampered at every step of his pro gress, it is wholly in consequence of his own timid, tortuous policy. Had he adopted a decided, ener getic course of action when he first took the reins of Government in 1841, instead of flirting— like a political coquette as he is, now with one party and now with another, paying unmeaning attentions to both, and winning the affections of neither, he would not have been in the situation in which he at present finds himself. His majorities might have been less in Parliament, but they would have been more steady—more worthy to be relied on ; and though he would have had fiercer enemies, he would have had warmer and stauncher friends. When ALEXANDER found, after several strenuous endeavours, that he could not untie the Gordian knot, he at once adopted the bold resolution of cutting it with his sword ; and in a similar energetic spirit should Sir ROBERT PEEL have acted with the Monopolists. When he found that he could not make them amenable to reason—that they slighted all his attempts to engage them in an enlightened course of policy, and would persist in adhering to their own narrow prejudices, he should at once have cut all connection with them, and boldly thrown himself into the arms of the Liberal party. He might possibly have lost by this conduct for a season, but he would have gained by it in the long run, for he would have had an ardent, grateful, and confiding people at his back, and they would have taken good care to see him handsomely through his difficulties. No really honest statesman ever yet appealed—or ever will appeal—to his countrymen in vain. CHATHAM did so when the KING and the aris tocracy were both leagued against him—and his ap peal was triumphantly answered. His far inferior son did so, when Fox, with his Coalition Ministry, was all-powerful in the House of Commons, and com manded a majority in the Lords—and his appeal, also, was successful. Earl GREY did so, when a selfish, dominant aristocracy arrayed itself in des perate hostility to the Reform Bill—and his appeal, too, was triumphantly replied to by the people. But all these were statesmen of lofty, energetic character; and the most obsequious flatterer of our present Premier will scarcely go the length of stating that he has one single particle of energy or decision in his nature. No, he is a pliant, submissive waiter on the chapter of accidents a methodistical worshipper at the shrine of expediency, who, even if he see the right course to pursue, dare not for his life pursue it. His sole object seems to be, to main tain himself in power, and let things take their own course, without putting himself to the trouble of directing them. He will not side boldly with the Monopolists—for his late declaration is a mere feint— and he will not side boldly with the Free-traders ; but he stands hesitating between two bundles of motives, like the long-eared animal in the fable. He is the PA LINURUS of the State-vessel, who, trusting to the present serene aspect of the weather, nods at the helm, when he should be busy directing her course into the appointed haven. Well, this state of things cannot last long, and the instant the winds begin to roar, and the waves to rise, right overboard will go the inactive, drowsy pilot, to be cast, helpless and hopeless, on the bleak, inhospitable coast of Opposition. " 0 nimium pelago et cselo confise sereno, Nudus in ignota, Palinure, jacebis arenA !" We have little to add to the intelligenee already published, and the extracts of this day from the French papers respecting Spain. The liberty of the press at Madrid was said to be destroyed, and all journalists were threatened with prosecution who should write about the rising at Alicant, but of these we see no proofs in the journals. The Eco del Com mercio is more violent than at any former period, and exhorts all who love their country rather to die in the cause than submit to oppression. " Threatened in our personal safety," it says, "and confiding in their physical strength, they struggle face to face against devotedness and patriotism. A horrible struggle, in which.the liberty and the fate of Spain are made the stakes—a struggle in which we are de termined to die, as are all who have at heart the love of liberty, and who know how to defend to the utter most the Constitution which is threatened by the Mus sulman sabre of a cursed power. May the curses of all good Spaniards —may the brand of ignominy fall on the heads of whoever recedes one pace, or who gives way either from weakness or fear before the persecution of the tyrants. Let us repulse the blows directed against the sanctity of our institutions, and if we must perish in the defence of so noble a cause, we will have avengers and imitators." Friday the 2d inst. being a holiday at Madrid, no business was done in the funds. The alarming intelligence from Spain has caused much excitement in Paris, and furnished topics for all the papers. Most of them, especially those favour able to the Government, comment on the occurrences at Alicant and St. Sebastian with much caution, and evidently wait for further news, and possibly also to ascertain the views of the Court, while those of the Opposition regard the outbreak as the commencement of a general rising against the Government of NAR vAEz and GONZALES BRAVO. The National and the Siecle a re j us tl y most i n di gnan t aga i ns t th e ar bitrary and violent conduct pursued ever since the downfal of ESPARTERO. " Whom," it asks, " have they arrested—LOPEZ, CORTINA, and MADOZ, the most eminent men in Spain, those who procured the expulsion of ESPARTERO and through whose good offices the majority of the QUEEN was declared. The mask has now fall t e h n e , and the counter-revolution is expose d to view. The Moderado party has launched, at all risks, on ocean of violence, and its first act is more violent than all other despotic Governments have ventured on doing." " There is this difference," says the Siecle, " between the conduct of the ex-Regent ESPARTERO and the present Camarillo, that the letter, if not the spirit of the Constitution was re spected by one, and both are despised and derided by the other. Spain is again delivered to all the horrors of civil war, and the whole country cries out against a dictatorship which is without talent, dignity, or grandeur." The Commerce and the France malig nantly accuse England of instigating the insurgents ; but the opinions of men who can state such wicked, such ungenerous falsehoods, are utterly unworthy of notice. The following telegraphic dispatches have been received by the French Government, one of which leaves no doubt that NARVAEZ, after having abrogated the Constitution, and put an end to the Cortes, is resolved to disarm the National Guards, and establish a military despotism : TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES. " BAYONNE, FEB. 4. " In the evening of yesterday the disarming of the National Guard of Irun and St. Sebastian was effected without opposition. It is said that this is a general measure, taken in virtue of an order of Government which reached on the 2d." " BAYONNE, FED. 6. " On the 30th Alicant was still in the power of the insurgents. The Captain-General of Valencia, RoN CALI, is marching on Alicant with troops, and a moveable brigade under the command of General CONCHA, has also left Madrid. " Attempts at insurrection took place on the 29th at Alcoy Elche, Cocentirna, and Muro, all in the neighbourhood of Alicant, but they were promptly checked by the inhabitants, who captured and killed several of the seditious." The Memorial Bordelais of the 6th publishes the following, but will not vouch for its veracity : " MADRID, FEB. 1. TiE O'CLOCK, P.M. "A Council of Ministers has, it is said, just been held, and a Cabinet courier is to start immediately for Paris. It is added, that a loan of 10,000,000 francs is demanded, in order to provide for the difficulties in which the Alicant insurrec tion has thrown the Government. It is also said that the Government demand that the New Spanish Three per Cents. be quoted at the Spanish Bourse, and that M. Martinez de Rosa is to apply for the armed intervention of France, should it be required, to support the young Queen against the machinations of the anarchists." The observations made by Lord BROUGHAM and the Earl of ABERDEEN in the House of Lords re lative to the slave trade have excited some severe comments in the Opposition journals. Some of them declare that the assertions of M. GUIZOT in the Chamber were not founded on truth, and that the scene in the House of Lords was previously concerted between Lord BROUGHAM and Lord ABERDEEN, in order to arrange hatters for M. GUIZOT. The French Funds, on Thursday, continued firm, the Three per Cents. closing at 81f. 95c., and the Fives at 125 f. 10c. ; Orleans Shares at 855 f.; Rouen, 841 f. 25c.; Havre, 695 f. ; Avignon, 775 f.; Spanish Actives, 301.

The following are the latest particulars relative to the health of his Majesty, received from Stockholm and Copenhagen. Theintelligence is up to the 30th ult. :- STOCICHOI.III, JAN. 27.-This day prayers were put up in the Palace chapel for his Majesty's recovery. All the Royal Family, the Court, the superior military and civil authorities, and as many of the inhabitants as could find room were present. On the following days there were prayers in the Royal Chapel, and in all the churches of the city, both morning and evening. The following bulletins show that the state of his Majesty's health is more satisfactory :- JAN. 28.-1 O'CLOCK, P.M.—Since the last bulletin his Majesty has slumbered several hours, and, when awake, ap peared more sensible than during the night. The fever con tinues. 71 P.M.—Since one o'clock, his Majesty has had uninter rupted repose and less fever, and been more sensible than in the preceding part of the twenty-four hours. 29th, 7 A.M.—His Majesty's more composed state continued till past 10 o'clock yesterday evening, when increased fever with delirium ensued, and continued with more or less vio lence till 5 o'clock this morning, when his Majesty fell into a quiet slumber, which still continues. 2 O'CLOCK, P.M.—His Majesty has had some good sleep since the morning's bulletin, and the fever has abated. 5 O'CLOCK, P.M.—His Majesty is now quite sensible, less faint, and almost free from fever. JAN. 30, 7 O'CLOCK, A.M.—Yesterday, towards evening his Majesty had more fever, with delirium, but both in a less degree than in the two preceding nights. After midnight he had, with some interruption, refreshing sleep, which still con tinues. 5 o'cLocK, P.M.—His Majesty awaking at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, was free from fever, and took, with good appe tite, some spoonfuls of broth, but complains this afternoon of being faint, and of severe pains in the right foot. The Queen is said to have nearly fainted several times from grief, on the 28th. The Aftenblad publishes, at a late hour every evening since the King's illness, a supplement of which thousands are disposed of, and which causes such a crowd in the street, that part of the palace guard is obliged to be called out to pre serve order. On Saturday reports were spread here of the death of the Emperor of Russia, with circumstances which alone are suf ficient to show that they are unworthy of credit. It is reported that an ordnance will,be putolished this even ing relative to the adiiiiiiistration of Ihe'g§verminent d ur i ng the King's illness. (From the Berlin Gazette:) COPENHAGEN.-A private letter from Stockholm, of the 30th of January, at three o'clock, par., ,which- may be de pended upon, says-4' So satisfactory:a change. in the state of the King's health has taken place „since yesterday, that no body has the least doubt that he is pow quite out of danger. Though the fever has not quite left him 41s Majesty's head is entirely freed, and he has no particular pain. The King himself is to-day fully convinced of his recovery, of which he had so little hope that he took leave of his family." RUSSIAN FRONTIER, JAN. 16.-Letters from 'Moscow say that a report is spread in that city that Russia intends again to allow the transit of German manufactures, with cer tain restrictions. However improbable this news may be we thought it our duty to mention it, as :one of the letters adds, that the Russian merchants have several ti mes peti tioned the Government to adopt such a measure, because they imagine that it will be the means of animating the trade of Russia with China.

MADRID, FEB. 2.—Several more arrests took place here last night, and many of the leading men of the Liberal party have sought safety from the persecution to which they are exposed, by temporarily absenting themselves from their homes. It was reported yesterday that Ar guelles, the two Calatravas, and other prominent men among the old Progresistas, had been arrested ; but hitherto they have not been meddled with, although their names, with those of many other Liberals, were seen on a list in the hands of a police agent, and a strict sur veillance is exercised over their movements. There are upwards of 400 police agents now employed in this sort of pursuit. General Concha left Madrid yesterday, and went, as is given out, to pay a visit to a friend at Aran d shippinghere, which o juez.

The Commission nominated by the Crown to draw up a report respecting the formation of a Council of State, has concluded its labours, and it is expected a decree will be speedily issued on the subject. The tobacco revenue is about to be put up for public competition. The houses of Messrs. O'Shea and Co., and Senor Carriquiri, have offered to advance 500,000/. to the Government on the yearly revenue, and to take the stock of tobacco, &c. on hand at 300,000/., with prompt payment. The troops destined for Alicante have left, and the Luchana Regiment has been brought in from the envi rons of Madrid. SAN SEBASTIAN, FEB. 3.—An extraordinary courier arrived here last night from Madrid, with dispatches for Brigadier Baruachea, who commands the province of Guipuscoa. He brought the tidings of the death of the Infanta Carlota, wife of Don Francisco de Paula, and a communication announcing that the Nationals of San Sebastian were to be disarmed within a short period. The period was certainly a short one, as this morning at day-break, and before the gates of the city were opened, another courier arrived with the order that the dis arming should take place on the receipt of the dispatches by the General. . The first act of the General on reading his dispatches was to order that the guns of the citadel should be loaded, and pointed to the town ; and his next, that the troops should assemble in their barracks, and remain under arms, and with muskets loaded, and bayonets fixed, the whole of the day. The artillery were also ordered to man the ramparts, and to stand by their guns with lighted matches ; that all, in fact, should be ready to commence hostilities at a moment's notice. In addition to the preparations made in the citadel, barracks, and ramparts, for hostilising the town, a bat talion was ordered to march from Hernani here, and the General awaited its arrival before entering upon operations. The order for disarming was communicated at one o'clock, P.M.; it is now five o'clock. The surrender of arms and accoutrements is going on, and up to this mo ment the public tranquillity has not been for an instant disturbed, nor do I suppose it will be.

On the 28th of October last the Lieute. nant.Governor inspectdd Major England's demi-battery at Gra ham's Town. The men appeared on the parade ground in field battery order, with one light 6 -pounder gun, a 12-pounder how itzer, and a rocket carriage with 12 pounder and 3.pounder rockets, and went through their evolutions in a highly creditable manner, and the Lieutenant-Governor expressed himself pleased with the soldier-like appearance of the men, and the admirable condition of the horses. His Honour passed a high eulogium on Major Eng land, the Commanding Officer, and alluded to Captain Buchannan, the second in command, as an officer to whom the service was un. der obligations for the zeal and ability with which he performed hii duties. The Governor also noticed the excellent manner in which the non.commissioned officers and gunners and drivers performed their exercises, which would have been deserving of praise had they taken place at Woolwich. The 91st Regiment—This gallant corps, stationed at Graham's town, Cape of Good Hope, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Lindsay, was reviewed by the Lieutenant-Governor on the 30th of October, and went through their exercises to the entire satisfaction of Colonel Hare, K.H. the Lieutenant-Governor of the Eastern District. The ga l lant Colonel afterwards proceeded to Fort England, and inspected the messes and barracks, with all of which, and the excellent appearance of the men during the day, he expressed himself highly satisfied. In the evening the Lieutenant- Governor dined with the officers, and many pleasant toasts re. minded them all of their native land. . _ ...- PORTSMOUTH, FHB. 7 —The Dordrecht, Dutch store-ship, Cap. tain the Hon. de Haare Bomme, from Surinam, sailed on Monday for the Texel. The Russian sloop Irtish went out of port yesterday morning, and brought up at Spithead, and, after saluting the Admiral and Go vernor, made sail for Kamachatka. The Alban steamer arrived at this port on the sth inst. from Cork, with the depot of the 45th Foot, which landed at Goeport. By letters received from the Cape, dated December 5, it is stated that her Majesty's ship Winchester, 50, Captain Eden, flag of Rear-Admiral the Hon.

Jones, after putting into harbour to have the damages which she received during her late experimental cruise repaired, has re. ceived orders to sail for a three months' cruise off the coast of Africa, and then return home. HAND-BOOK TO GIBRALTAR.—A little neat work with this title has just been published by Cowie, Jolland, and Co., of the Poultry, drawn up by an old inhabitant of this celebrated fortress, and accompanied with eight lithographic views of the more remarkable buildings and scenery in the neighbourhood. It contains a brief, but interesting account of the fortifications and batteries, the trade and commerce of the place, the character and variegated races of the inhabitants, not over looking the indigenous race of monkeys that inhabit the Rock. They appear (says the writer) to have existed there from time immemorial, and it is the only spot in Europe where- they are found in a wild state. The population of the town is reckoned at 20,000, and is thus classified :-9,000 natives, 900 British, 2,000 Spaniards, 1,000 Genoese, and 600 Por tuguese. The Jews amount to 1,800, and the garrison generally to 4,000 troops. It contains a list of all the Governors and Commandants of the fortress since its capture in 1704, with some statistical details which will be found useful. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The total number of deaths, during the week ending Feb. 3, amounted to 1,086, showing an increase of 75 over those of the pre vious week. The excess has taken place chiefly among deaths caused by diseases of the lungs, the ave rage being 330, while the present returns give 391. The number carried off by inflammation was 106, and from consumption 162, both con siderably above the average ; by small-pox 18, of whom 11 had not been vaccinated ; and by violent deaths 18, 4 of which were suicides committed by fe males. From the meteorological observations taken at the Greenwich Observatory, it appears that the ther mometer during th e wee k was lowest on Feb. 1, and highest on Jan. 29, the degrees being respectively 27'5 and 50.1.

Accounts from Stockholm, four days later than those pub lished in The Sun of Tuesday, state that no hopes are enter tained of the King's recovery. The disease under which he labours is said to be apoplexy. On Tuesday, the King of the French, accompanied by Ge nerals Gourgaud, Friant, and two orderly officers, proceeded to St. Cloud at two o'clock, and returned to the Tuileries for dinner. The Bureaux of the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday continued their examination of the budget_ M. Allard read to the Petition Committee his report on the petitions relating to the Fortifications, in which he speaks in favour of con tinuing the works. A Commission has just been appointed by the French Go vernment to draw up the Bill which is to be presented this session to the Chambers, for carrying into effect the general regulations now acted on relative to the fisheries between the coasts of France and Great Britain. The members of the Commission are M. Lange, the Commissary-General of Marine, who has been employed at London in negotiating these regulations ; M. de Lavergne, Master of Requests ; M. Meillerat, Director of Criminal Proceedings in the Ministry of Justice, and M. Paravey, Master of Requests. The eighth Chamber of Correctional Police, on Wednesday, was occupied with a case cf libel, in which M. Jules Janin, the well-known critic, was plaintiff, and MM. Pyat and Grandmenil defendants. The article complained of was written by M. Pyat, in the Reforme, of which M. Grandmenil is the responsible editor, in answer to a severe critique from the pen of the plaintiff, on the character and writings of Chenier, the poet. The Court, after having heard counsel on -both sides, declared the complaint to be well founded against both the defendants, and sentenced Pyat to six months' im prisonment and 1,060 f. fine, and Grandmenil to one month's imprisonment and 3,000 f. fine. It condemned the defendants, in addition, to pay the costs. The mortal remains of Marshal Drouet d'Erlon, which were temporarily placed in the church of the Invalides, have been removed to Rheims, where they are to be interred. The Belgian Chamber of Representatives have passed, almost without a dissentient voice, a Bill for calling in the old silver coin of Belgium. A letter from St. Petersburgh, 27th ult., in the Augsburgh Gazette, confirms the intelligence of a victory being gained by the Russian troops, under General Fregtag, in the Cau casus, and states that 6,000 Circassians were either killed or taken prisoners. A leiter from Constantinople, 16th ult., states that for the two previous days the weather had been most tempestuous, and that rain, sleet, and snow fell, almost without intermis sion. A coasting vessel laden with flour had gone down near Arnaouthkeny, and out of thirty persons on board, twenty four had perished, the other six being picked up by the boat of a trading vessel. PUBLIC OPINION. The Advertiser of Saturday observes :—" The modera tion in language and sentiment adopted at the great meeting of English Catholics on Wednesday, may be justified by policy, but is unquestionably unequal to the insult which the whole body of their faith have received from Govern ment at the hands of the Crown prosecutors in Ireland. As 'a gross violation of the principle of the Emancipation Act, which no circumstance in their conduct warrants, could a violation of a legislative engagement be sanctioned at all, the circumstances under which the traversers are tried, de manded something more than a cool expression of disapproba tion. It is not merely the rights of a section of the people that are now invaded, their integrity as Christians denied, and their honour as men and citizens outraged ; but an entire people are emphatically pronounced incapable of discharging an ordinary trust, when it involves a political opinion. By imputation the Irish Protestant is as grossly maligned as the Catholic; for, by packing the jury in the manner which has been wit nessed, it is declared that no reliance can be placed upon the oaths of either; and that if the Catholic would perjure him self to defeat the prosecution, the Protestant is equally ready to gratify it at the expense of his religion and conscience. No explanation can be offered of. the rejection of the jury list, which is not founded on one or other of these • atrocious calumnies, unless it be derived from a motive that reflects immeasurable disgrace on the Irish Government." The following is from the Chronicle :—" We published on Thursday a report of a meeting of English Roman Catholics, summoned by requisition to protest against the insult offered to their body by the Irish law offi cers o f th e Government in striking the jury for the State trials. This manifestation of opinion gives a distinct and emphatic negative to the asser tion, that the indignation so loudly and generally expressed in Ireland at the exclusion of the Roman Catholics is a mere artifice of the Repeal party to discredit the jury. Sir Robert Peel would, we have very little doubt, be heartily glad to be lieve that this assertion was well-founded ; but we are equally certain that he knows it to be a fiction devised by his sup porters to cover what is now felt to be a real and most mis chievous blunder, and one which will seriously embarrass him in the House of Commons. The speakers at the meet ing to which we have referred appeared to be animated by one common feeling of indignation at a proceeding which virtually declared them, as Roman Catholics, unfit to be trusted on their oaths to adjudicate between the subject and the Crown." The Times remarks, in reference to the state of affairs in Sinde :—" It cannot be denied that up to the present moment Sir Charles Napier has been almost as successful as Sir John Keene ; but the future is not wholly couleur de rose. Scarcely ever, perhaps, *ince the days of Senacherib, if the late ac counts are to be trusted, has an army lying in peace in its tents experienced the sweeping losses of our Sindian detachments. In the utterly helpless state to which some of them are said to be reduced, it rests with our relentless enemies and double dealing friends to cut them in pieces or pot, as they please. Disease appears to have done already the greater part of the work; let us hope the Beloochee swordsmen will not take in hand the rest. Meanwhile, we have to ask how is the country to be kept in order for the future ? Is the same tremendous loss to be hazarded every year in this confessedly pestilential country ? And if so, where are the lives to come from which are thus to be thrown away? It will be difficult, and not without danger, to procure a constant supply of Sepoys for the purpose. Our Indian army is faithful and enduring; but it has sometimes shown that there are limits to its fidelity and endurance, which it is more than hazardous to pass. Or, Spartan-like, are we to keep the country in order by annual invasions during the cold season to punish the ex • cesses which have been committed in the hot? Or must .our troops, after all, retire from the country ? No course appears wholly without its difficulty. We are glad that it does not fall upon us to choose between them. The Herald' thus refers to the recent debate on Sinde in the Commons :—" The friends and supporters of Lord Ellen borough have every reason to be satisfied with the result of the debate on Sinde, for not even the leaders of the Opposi tion would join in the vote of censure on his policy involved in Lord Ashley's resolution ; and the only sound uttered by them against his Lordship was a sneering" hear, hear," from Lord Palmerston. This abstinence is the more remarkable and conclusive when we recollect the torrents of misrepre sentation, reproach, and censure, let loose through the Opposition press on Lord Ellenborough—how he was charged with ensnaring the late Aineers of Sinde to their ruin—how he was accused of a premeditated design not to be satisfied with any concession they might make—how he was impeached of more than Oriental duplicity, treachery, and tyranny. And now that the opportUnity has iren given the Whig chiefs of reite rating calumnies and absurdities such as these, of en dorsing the case of the organs supposed to reflect their opinions, they are silent as to them — not a single man in the House of Commons has the hardihood even to hint at them. Sir John Hobhouse protests against Parliament in terfering with the government of India; and Lord John Russell only saves himself from the necessity of applauding Lord Ellenborough, by pleading that he had not yet made himself master of the papers laid before Parliament." LAW AND POLICE. At the Central Criminal Court, Peter Petrie was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Josiah Lawton, with intent to maim and disable him, or do him grievous bodily harm. Prisoner is captain of the merchant vessel Lydia, and the assault was. committed on the :voyage home from Bahia to England. The jury found him guilty on the fourth count, of assaulting the prosecutor, with the intent to do him some grievous bodily harm, and recommended him to mercy. He was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. In the New Court, the morning was occupied in trying offences committed against her Majesty's Mint, no less than eighteen persons being charged with uttering and possessing base coin. . At the Surrey Sessions, Jane Brown pleaded guilty to having unlawtully deserted and left her male infant child at the door of the Lambeth Workhouse on the 27th of December last, exposed in a basket, to the great peril and danger of the life of the said infant, and was sentenced to twelve mouths' imprisonment. John Davies, the man charged with cutting his wife's throat, was again brought up at the Guildhall, and again remanded. A respectable-looking youth, who gave the name of Philip Mucholland, was charged, at Queen-square, with having fired a pistol loaded with ball, into the dressing-room of the Rev. Charles Chapman, 20, Lower Belgrave-place, to the immi nent danger of that gentleman. He was held to bail. COttit,T—PASHIONALBLE.

The Factories Bill, brought in by Sir James Graham and Mr. Manners Sutton, contains 78 sections, with a schedule of forms annexed. The preamble states that the laws for regulating the employment of children and young persons in factories need amendment. The Acts now in force on the same subject are to be repealed. No child under eight years old to be employed in factories, nor any young person to be employed under sixteen years old ; in both cases certificates from a surgeon of age and fitness to be procured. They may be employed thirteen days without certificates. Chil dren not to work more than six hours and a half daily, and young persons and women not more than twelve. Work on Saturdays to cease at four o'clock. Numerous incendiary fires have occurred in Essex, and among other places at Aldham, Wraness, and Hadleigh. In two instances there is reason to believe that the guilty parties will be brought to punishment. A dreadful fire broke out on Tuesday at Burton's cooper age, Liverpool, by which one man was killed and two severely wounded. Weieiret to hear, says the Times, that Mr. Chambers, the banker, has been dangerously ill in the Queen's Pri son, after an incarceration of 17 years, during which period upwards of 200,0001. of his valuable property has been re ceived, and somehow or other, it would seem, irresponsibly absorbed, since not a creditor as yet has received one far thing, and his injured family disappointed in every expecta tion of their youth. The town council of Newcastle, at their meeting on Thurs day, resolved to grant 1,0004, and to give up certain property to the value of nearly another 1,0001., in order to secure the erection of a high level bridge across the Tyne for the rail way to Edinburgh. At a meeting of the Lancaster and Preston Railway Com pany, last week, it was unanimously resolved to subscribe, on behalf of the Company, 65,0001. towards the formation of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway. _ _ _ _ It appears from the correspondence and leaders of the Irish journals, to be the general impression that the State trials will terminate by the jury being discharged without coming to a verdict at all. It is asserted that "agreement is impooeible." &lONE ir AND COMMERCIAL NEWS (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) The sales in the Liverpool market yesterday, were 10,000 bales, half on speculation, and at previous rates. The French Railways were brisk, especially Paris and Lyons, in which a good business was doing. There was not so much going on in others. Eastern Counties were 10A ; Grand Junction, 228 ; .Birmingham Quarter, 284; Manchester and Leedi, 112 ; Paris and Lyons: 31. ls. 6d. ; and South Eastern, 35k. There are some late accounts from the Cape of Good Hope this morning, viz., to 16th December. The state of affairs on the frontier was not very favourable. A number of indi viduals, on their way to present an address to the Governor, had been seized by the malecontents, but the general idea was that British supremacy would be upheld. The accounts from Port Natal are very satisfactory. The soil is represented as extremely luxurious, and, in a short course of time, a fine harbour for shipping would be formed. In directly we learn, that the attempts of the French Com mander at Tahiti had been put hors de combat, and that Queen Pinnare was really under British protection. Not much business has been transacted in the public funds to-day. There is much conversation at present in dulged in with reference to the renewal of the charter of the Bank of England. The Joint-stoCk Banks of course desire an extension of privileges, and upon these grounds :—The system has been in operation at least ten years ; their paid-up capital exceeds four millions, and the deposits in their hands are from six millions to seven millions. The managers of the Joint-Stocic Banks ought to be on the alert, and most glad shall we be to render them all the as sistance in our power to induce the Legislature to grant the privileges they so much desire, and justly, to have. Bank Stock has been sold at 1921. For Consols the price has ruled from 97b to 97i, but for the Account the sale quotation has‘ been 94.

A slight decline has taken place in the price of Spanish Stock to-day, the Actives being now at 24 to 23, and the Three per Cents. at 31i to 324. Dutch Stock has advanced a trifle, and Peruvian Bonds are in request at 26i. In the other Foreign Stocks scarcely any alteration has taken place this morning.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) MARINE RESIDENCE FOR THE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE PRINCESS ROYAL. Her Majesty has not yet settled on a summer residence for the Royal infants; the treaty for the purchase of Norris Castle is oft; and surveyors were down on Tuesday to Eagle Hurst, to inspect and report on its capabilities and value ; there are nearly 300 acres of land; the house stands on a great deal of ground, but it is on one floor; the situation and views are ood; there is also a lofty tower attached, called " Lutrel's Folly ;" it is in the New Forest, near the entrance of Southampton River, and directly opposite Cowes; the amount demanded for it is the principal objection—the dif ference is, however, only about 8,0001. Should it be pur chased her Majesty intends lying in her yacht off Cowes, the nursery establishment only being at Eagle Hurst. LIGHT GOLD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Observing that a paragraph has being going the round of the papers, to the effect that but a trifling quantity of light gold is finding its way into the Bank of England, allow me, through the medium of your column., to account for its slow progress towards its proper destination—the Mint. As is stated, it is but too true that amongst tradesmen and shopkeepers no objection is made to any gold, how ever light, which is offered to them in the way of busi ness, for their means of disposing of it is simply thus : All the light sovereigns are laid aside,in many instances, and with a slight sprinkling of heavy ones amongst them—say one in ten—kept until the first commercial traveller, who has an account to receive, calls ; these sovereigns are then offered to him in payment of his account—perhaps sometimes overdue—and he has the option of either taking them at their full value of 20s. each, or leaving the account unsettled, his customer coolly telling him that he has taken these at their full value himself; and therefore must pass them at the same. VV hat is now the position of the traveller ? Sooner than leave his account unsettled or offend his customer, by insisting on an allowance on the gold, he consents to take it, and in a few days finds himself burdened with such a quantity, that it becomes both dangerous and troublesome to carry it longer with him. And how, Mr. Editor, is he to rid himself of it ? The private banks will not, in any instance that I am aware of, take it at less than six pence the whole and four pence the half sovereign allowance ; and the branches of the Bank of England are, " like angels' visits," so " few and far be tween," that a traveller is not unfrequently, for weeks together, without visiting any town in which one is situated ; he is thus compelled to sacrifice TWO AND A HALF PER CENT. to get his light gold changed ; but what guarantee has he that this very gold is not the next hour again put into circulation, and again paid to himself or another traveller, to be once more exchanged at the Bank at the ruinous premium above named, and again and again put into circulation. That this system is carried on to an enormous extent, I can with confidence appeal to all my brother-travellers, and that nothing is more common than country private banks paying over their counters light gold, any person who will take the trouble of weighing what they may receive at the majority of them, will be fully convinced. To remedy this evil, then, something should be done, and done at once. In my opinion the Bank of England should establish agents in all the principal towns in the United Kingdom, or even in every county town, whose duty it should be to take in all light gold, and in any quantity it may be offered—allowing a fixed price by weight for it. That they should be obliged to cut or deface all gold so taken by them, in the presence of the parties so changing it ; and this will guard against any system of fraud being carried on. But, until some means be adopted more stringent than those now. established, I can fearlessly assert that all hope of calling in the light gold is futile, and that trade and manufactures are now saddled with an additional import in the shape of this nefarious traffic in light gold. Trusting you will excuse the length of this letter, I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. Knutsford, Feb. 8, 1844 THE WILL OF AN ECCENTRIC AND WEALTHY BEG- Saw.—ln the rarish church of Rotherhithe a tablet has been erected to the memory of James Smith, uho is designated Esq. The career of this man has been a very extraordinary one, and it shows how wealth is amassed by strict economy. He was a beggar of no usual description, and though advanced in years, was one of the most active of his class. His continued round of employment was through two hundred and ten parishes, and his industry was well rewarded. He left an immense deal of property, the chief part for charitable purposes. None of the two hundred and ten parishes have been forgotten, where he was kindly treated. To al most all he has left funds, but has carefully excluded from his will all parochial authorities, in whose district he fancied he had been neglected. To the parish of Rotherhithe, which was always a fa vourite resting place of his, he has left property which produce. 401. a year, and the interest of the money is thus disposed of:— Upon each Sunday, after the sermon in the church, 120 loaves, of the value of 6d. each, are distributed among the poor old people of the parish, who thus profit by a beggar's wealth and gratitude; for no doubt many of the recipients of his bounty have often given their mite to the real and eccentric mendicant.

TWENTY-FOURTH COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, SATURDAY. THE QUEEN V. DANIEL O'CONNELL AND OTHERS. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE concluded his charge ai follows : You are called on, in the first place, to pronounce whether these traversers, or any, or which, did conspire and agree t o , raise dissension in . her Majesty's subjects, or to hatred and unlawful opposition to the Government and Constitution 2dly. You are called on to pronounce whether these tra versers, or any, or which cf them, did conspire and agree t ° raise disaffection amongst the Queen's subjects, especially those in Ireland against their fellow-subjects in England' 3dly-. You will have to decide whether any or each of the, traversers conspired to effect changes in the Constitution, of the country by a demonstration of physical force. Lastly, Whether they, or any of them, agreed to bring the courts of judicature, established by law, into disre pute, and induce the subjects of the Queen to submi t. their disputes to other tribunals. If you are of opinio n ' that the traversers, or any of them conspired and agre ed. to do, or cause to be done the said several matters, or stir of them, then you are to find such traversers or traverser guilty of the fact of conspiracy as laid. I have, Gentle-. men, put the 'question to you in the language of the in dictment. It lies upon the Crown to establish that the, traversers, or some of theM, were guilty of a conspiracy con sisting of those five branches, any one of which being brought home to the traversers, or any of them, to your satisfaction , • establishes the charge against them. But, Gentlemen, cri -. minalitv is a thing which must be proved, and not were'," surmised. Every person accused must be deemed innocent; till the contrary is proved. The defendants plead their innn; cence on the ground that they had a right to do the severl' things given in evidence, and had no cr i m i na l i n t en t. If it should be your opinion that they had no criminal intention I ,t! the acts proved against them, y ou wou ld b e b ou nd to acti,u l " them ; but if, upon the other hand, you should be of °pill that those were not the real objects of the defendants, that whatever their real designs might b e , th a t th e y naciL l criminal intentions attributed to them by the prosecution, an be satisfied that the traversers acted in concert in further ance of those intentions you will be bound to find them. guilty.

Gentlemen, you .a re by law ' tudit; ferent—you are to be biassed by nothing but the oath vn".- have taken, which is, that you will give a verdict accordini to the evidence—that is your duty ; and to enable you that, I never saw a jury who, during a long trial, extendi.g, on over a period of three weeks, paid such individual attention' to the case, the evidence that has been laid before you, lull the several ' . gentlemen that addressed you on either side. feel perfectly certain that you will decide conformably to tha ; dictates of your reason and of conscience ; and I do hope that the Lord, who rules over all, will enlighten and direct Yn n * I have now no more to say. - • ch . The Foreman of the Jury—Mv, Lord, as the jury are mu fatigued, I beg leave to ask. whether it is absolutely necessai to do to conclude this case now?

Mr. HENN observed that there was no printed docuri e proving, that the meetings were held in the city of Dublin:,,, Mr. Justice CRAMPTON said he would take a note of tp objection.
