FROM THE LI - ENING PAPERS OF THIS DAI. GLOBE.--" Pity the sorrows of a poor old man 1" is the burden of his Grace the Duke:of Newcastle's letter to the Stindal (1. We have transferred the document to our own columns, as ;a curiosity of its class ; and are impelled, by sympathy for the almost isolated state of the noble writer, to offer a few remarks upon his affecting appeal to the public ;in his own behalf • With respect to the proximate matter of provoca ,tion which prompted the Noble Duke to draw the psn in self-de:ence, we think he has amply vindicated himself from the imputations which were cast upon him —if, indeed, anything more could be desired beyond the triumphant answer which his son, the Earl of Lin coln, from his place in Parliament and as Chief Commissioner of the Board of Works, made to the ateick —responded to, as that justification of his own and hi-3 father's conduct was, by the cordial concurrence a the Clouse of Commons. This testimony is a volun tary offering at the. shrine of truth—equally due to a political.opponent as to a political friend. We were not of the number of the Duke of Newcastle's accusers, and might thereforC be silent. Candour, if not a feeling of a higher and stronger character, impels us to aid the Noble Duke in vindicating his injured fame and feelings, s hen ahe appeals to his countrymen of all parties against an unfounded and unworthy accusation. Other topics are introduced into this epistle which, if not possessing equal claims on public sympathy, are not wholly destitute of interest. The Duke of Newcastle is now an old man; one of the very few now re maining of the Eldon school of politicians. To Lord Eldon. in some respects, he bore a simili:ude in the general character of his mind, aed to whom he adhered when the majority of his associates forsook him and fled. " Whet'. 'I began life," says the Duke of Newcastle, !sJ Had the fairest prospects before me. In a political s' point of view, I possessed great power." There is much that is melancholy in the retrospect. The Duke, accord ing to the statement in his letter, has stood still, and beheld most of his early associates in political life pass into the grave ; while the few who remain have etel fered themselves to Le carried away by the current of advancing opinion on questions which were, wish him, sacred as articles of faith. He is left alone ; denuded of his political power. and deprived of his political asso ciates. Though we cannot rev t the changes which have taken place in the political institutions nod social relations of the people to which he alludes, we can easily understand the dreary feelings with which they are con templated in themselves, and in their consequences, by o ne circumstanced with relation to them as the Duke of Newcastle has been, and now is. We admit the Noble Dillies claim to " having acted from a pure and conscientious conviction, and with an utter disregard of selfish consequences :—ln all the measures of which I highly disapproved, whether Roman Catholic Emanci ration, Reform, Ecclesiastical Commissions, old Corpo rations, Irish policy, Corn-laws, Free- trade, with many . others, and more recently the Income-tax and Tarift; Canada Corn, and National Eduction, &c., in which I may rot have bad thie good fortune to concur with the Minister of the day—on all occasions I have not scrupled to disagree and oppose, whether as a candid friend or a candid enemy ; nor can I do my duty and abstain frem dissent, when I see such Bills as the Jews' Disabilities Bill introduced into a Chris tian- Parliament, and look forward to the promised measures which are to give a heavy blow and great discouragement to the Protestant Church ; whilst I'opery is to be elevated and encoursg , d, and enemies to our faith, Heretics, Sceptics, or Infidels, are to legislate for that Church which they abhor. Such measures decsand the stern opposition of every Chris tian and every censcienti us Protestant, who must, too plainly and fearfully perceive hew small is the consideration or care for the Establishment, but hots grt at for her de tallasst foes." 11 ith reference to the po li c y, past and present, of those who now direct the des fillies of this great country, the Duke mildly observes — I am disclaimed by those who, I am compelled to think, should be as I am." To the question, " Why, th , tr, does lie not follow the ways of the world ?" the Noble Doke rep lies, "Such ways are tot, my wa y s . I could derive no satisfaction from exchanging principles for 'a expediency. ;ice like a wounde d deer, I gin discounte• s nanc - ed by the whole her d." We cease to war with the is-e" ete e. oe stho has retired from the battle-field. Although we ee7 r m ta the same antagonists position to the principles IrettVhich the Duke of Newcastle upheld when he occupied insignificant post in the war of parties, we respect the consistency which has marked hi s p olitical career, as a. V 'ts contrasted with that of the converts to expediency to which he alludes, with a bitterness of feeling which their •' desertion of him has provoked. His reproaches find an apology in the neglect of which ho hes eloquently com . in the letter before us. STANDethl.).—lt is among the earliest and most iceportaot precautions adoptiel by the skilful defender of a nbilitary position, to call in his troops from un tenable or chselesa posts, in which they would squander rsSVA'‘tt. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 26, 1845. their lives to no purpose, and to remov everything that could cover the advance of an enemy. It is im possible, however, that these arrange ments can always be made without exciting dissatisfaction ; son a men will attach importance to positions held by thers to be untenable or useless, for all were never agreed upon any plan ; st me will even sus tain material injury from the necesssity of surrounding the position with an open field. Still, if the common defence is to be made, such sacrifices of opi nion, and own of interest, must be made. It is in civil polemlcs as in " the trade of war," untenable or useless opinions, how fondly soever cherished, must be surren dered. Meaner interests must be sacrificed in order to protect vital principles and paramount institutions. This will always produce a great deal of murmuring on the part of those whose particular opinions or interests my be in fringed upon ; but the honest and firm statesman will disregard this murmuring, and even the obloquy into which, after a little time, the scattered reproaches of the multitude may consolidate themselves. He is contented to know that he has defended all that ought to be de fended, and all that can be defended. Our reflections have been turned into this channel by the following conclusion of a well-written but reproachful article of this day's Morning Chronicle :—" Mr. D'lsraeli ' how ever, is of opinion that Sir Robert Peel is nee dlessly letting the agriculturists down, that he is actu ally and c ssentially sacrificing them, and that fri m pure love of him they accept him as the most agreeable executioner. Like condemned and despairing wretches, they consent to inevitable death, and are consoled by having it of their own direction and choosing, " Like maudlin Clarence in his Malmsey butt." I 7 30 30% Aud such, no doubt, is the opinion of a great portion of the agriculturists themselves. But men of common sense amongst them must see that Sir R. Peel has ma naged their estate better than any other steward they could have appointed. See at how small a real sacrifice of agricultural interests be has contrived to purchase, not only the acquiescence, but the support and applause of our amiable Opposition. Nor does he set m at all likely to sacrifice one iota more than the exigencies of the time may imperatively tequite. We deny altogether the jus tice of considering the Protectionists as lictims either innocent or asleep, or about to be slaughtered. Let not the Liberals go to sleep themselves with such an idea. Their antagonists, they may depend upon it, are wile awake, well aware of what they do and what they suffer, and how much the; will suffer. Peel is their instrument, not they his dupes. They may sneer at him and damage him, in order to humble and master him—besides the advantage of giving themselves the air of injured men—but depend upon it, on the whole they are satisfied, if not with Peel, at least with Peel's weak, and they regard him as a very useful anti-Liberal factor. Farmers murmur, and landlords affect to murmur, but the West Indians are contended — at least for the present." What a person like Mr. D'lsraeli may Oink or say is of very little moment ; but there is a class whom the Morning Chronicle insults, by assuming the author of " Coningsby " to be its type, who foolishly adopt the opinions ascribed by our Contemporary to the individual in questien. The reply of the Morn ing Chronicle to this class is perfectly just— who could have more effectually defended all the great interests of the country than they have been defended by Sir Robert Peel's Govern ment ? The Right Bon. Baronet, it is true, has cut off some impossible duties from the sliding-scale, that only rendertd odious that protecting law ; true, he has re pealed an invidious and perfectly unnecessary pro. hibition upon the importation of foreign cattle.

By the corn-law and tariff of 1842, and by the sugar Bill of the present year, the principle of protection is incorporated es sentially in the commercial constitution of the country ; for whatever is bound up pith the majority of great interests may be said to be so essentially incorporated ; while the restoration of the public finances to a state of prosperity without example, must take away motive and excuse for a recurrence to such desperate experiments as those attempted by the Whigs in 1841. Some time or other the Whigs will come again into office. We hope and believe the date of the visitation to be very diitant , but the revolution of years must be expected to bring round Whig Ministries, as well as pestilence and scarcity, and other calamities, such as accompanied the last W hig decade of adminis tration. When, however, the Whig Administration shall come, the measures t f the present :Administration will have neutralised its power of evil, extensive t:s that power must be confessed to be. The principles of protection, once as it were wedded to the strict rule-of - reason, can never be divorced from that rule. So much protection as is justly due will be always freely conceded, because no m ire will be asked. A useful factor" indeed has Sir Robert Peel been to the great interests of the country, and to the country itself, useful to the future as well as to the pre sent. T.

The Commission fot the county of Surrey was opened on Montlay, and this morning both Courts sat for the dispatch of business, Lord Chief Justice Penman pre siding on the civil side, and Mr. Baron Althrson in the Crown court. Altho gh there was a good delivery at the sessions last week, there are thirty-five prisoners for trial at these a-sizes. On the civil side fifty-nine causes are entered, and six of them are to be tried by special juries. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Dory Tanner, alias William Stenip, 26, James Haines, 23, Thomas Longley, 22, Matthew Hill, 43, and Thomas Adams, 28, were indicted for a misdemeanor, in being unlawfully upon certain lands in the occupation of John Sparkes, at Wonersh, in the night time, armed with guns, and other offensive weapons, in pursuit of came. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Robinson with Mr. Charnock, defended all the prisoners, except Tanner, who had no counsel. _ It appeared from the evidence of a man named Hoar, who Is in the service of Mr. Sparkes, the prosecutor, that on the night of the 17th December he heard the sound of fire-arms in a wood at Wonersh, called Jay's Copse, and while he was going in the direction from whence the firing appeared to proceed, he heard the re ports of two guns, and at the same moment there was a ru-h made in the wood, and he saw five men come out into a field, two of them being armed with guns. He followed them for some distance, and at length went close to the men, and he then discovered that they were the prisoners, all of whom were inhabitants of the neighbourhood, and with whose persons he was well ac quainted. Upon the Copse being examined on the fol lowing morning►, a quantity of pheasant's feathers and some fresh blood were found upon the ground. The jury found the prisoners guilty, but recommended them to mercy on the ground that they had not used any violence towards the keeper. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said that this was always a circumstance favourable to the accused in cases of this description ; but such offences were of so dangerous a character, and so frequently led to the shedding of blood, that it was impossible to pass them over without such punishment being inflicted as would be likely to deter others from their commission. He then sentenced Langley, Tanner, Haines, and Hill, who have already been in gaol for three months, to be kept to hard labour for a further peri-d of six months; and Adams, who had been out on bail, was sentenced to nine mouths' hard labour. THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE. The following letter appears in the Standard : " Clumber, March 12, 1845. " SlR,—When so few are to be found who will ven ture to speak favourably of me, I ought to be, and am, particularly obliged to you for the chivalrous audacity with which you dared to print the favourable view which you are go'd enough to entertain of me and my doings. I very sincerely thank you fur your prompt interposition and ready self-sacrifice. " It has always been my strange fatality to have my motives and actions misunderstood, and probably few men living, not being public men, have been more vilified and injured than I hive been. I have endured this per versity with patience and resolution, but at last I became disheartened and disgusted ; I found myself standing alone in the maintenance of opinions which I believed to be right ; everything fell away from me; one event after another tended to depress my spirits and my . energy, and to remove those inducements which stimulated _ me to exertion. My health, my peace of mind, my circumstances (as I am not aohamed to avow, arising from no discreditable cause), required my retirement for a season. Unseen and forgotten, - you may well imagine that I was astounded at steing • The Hafod Estate' heading a division in the columns of the Stzndard appropriated to the report of the de bates in Parliament. I, of course. read oil' with deep interest, aid soon perceived the old leaven and the un generous motive for introducing ,my name upon . the scene, finally observing that the malignants profess,d to bar perfecily . satisfied with Lord Lincoln's statement, as well they might, for its pla;n truth deprived malignity of its power to cavil on. "Pray observe that I by no means object to the watchfulness and untiring scrutiny of Messrs. Hume, Williams, and Co. I applaud their searching inquiries, but I disapprove of a malign anal prejudiced influence which urges to suppose that every transaction connected with me and my family must of necessity be suspicious, corrupt, and improper. " When fairly exercised, I shculd be exceedingly sorry to zee that the vigilance of the gentlernen_was in the slightest degree rehixed; it gives health and life to them, and is constitutionally wholesome for us. Such refining and scouring is a national benefit, and although I do not desire to follow the newest fashion and to over whelm these gentlemen with fulsome compliments and eloquent laudations, yet I must confess that it would be really a public misfortue if the nation were deprived of the now very necessary services of such lynx-eyed and indefatigable detectors of abuses—such unwearied cleansers of Augean stables ; only may I caution them not to fall foul of me too hastily or so readily, for I can assure them that their efforts to prove me a scoundrel will only serve to make them appear spiteful and ridiculous. “43ut, more than enough of this. Sir, my principal cause for addressing you is not to censure or applaud Mr. Hume, but to supply a deficiency ; because -Lord Lincoln, in his natural earnestness to acquit himself of all blame or dishonesty in the transaction, appears to me to have omitted to state that I also am justly clear of all blame. I may be too sensitive, but fancy that I perceive what may be construed by the public into a supposition that I bad bean requiring something which it would be improper to grant. Such was not the fact. I resisted the claims of the Crown over my property, which I conscientiously believed not to exist, and still think were unfounded—but that was all. I neither expected nor sought that favour should be shown to me. I would not, for any consideration of paltry advantage to myself, tamper with any official man, and least of all when that man was my son, whose honour, virtue, and reputation would be dearer to me than my own. Still, however, my own honour, and re puta:ion and unquestionable integrity, are most dear to me ; and I cannot endure that, even by implication, I should be suspected by my countrymen ; and as my vin dication, save by yourself, has not been attempted in terms, I must undertake to be my own herald, and once more proclaim my innocence, my negation of dishonesty in any shape, and call upon those who would rob me of my best possession, to remember that I am the same man yesterday and to-day, and that whilst reason maintains her sway, lam not likely to change my nature. Who steals my purse steals trash; but he who filches my good name, steals from me that which not enriches him, yet leaves me poor indeed.' " I distinctly declare, then, that Lord Lincoln has spoken the truth, the whole truth; and that, pure and clear as he is of a shadow of imputation in this transac tion, I am equally so;* and in fact I only most unwill ingly submitted to wt at, by the conditions of the origi nal purchase-contract, I was compelled to do — to effect a good and perfectly valid title to the estate, although I believed that the vendors to me had, for expediency, en gaged to yield to the Crown a right to which it was not entitled. This is my case; and if I were to write vo lumes, I could add nothing to its simple strength. " My statement, I perceive, has already run to a greater length than I intended; but whilst I am on the subject, having undertaken to be my own herald, and most anxious as I am—more anxious, possibly, than I may be given credit for—to stand well with my coun trymen, whose good opinion I value beyond all price, I trust beg to detain your attention for a few moments whilst I allude to the past, and bring you to the pre vent, that you and they may be perfectly aware of what have hitherto been my dishonest gains. "When 1 began lifo I had the fairest prospects before me. In a political point of view I possessed great power. Though in the eyes of Itef,riners I was re garded as an obnoxious boroughmonger, still my power and influence were indubitable. I ask, did I avail my self of my position to do wrong? Did I sell the seats for gain, or dishonestly traffic with them, either privately or politically? Did I ever act un constitutionally as regarded them, or as con cerned the State? I aver that, to my knowledge, I never did, nor do I conceive it to be possible that I could, as such proceedings would have been utterly re pugnant to my feelings and prisciples. My boroughs, then, on the one band, were not productive of profit, whilst on the other they entailed prodigious losses and sacrifices, by feeding the interest, by contests, petitions, and, finally, by their Parliamentary confiscation, when I was robbed, without compensation, of a valuable consi deration, probably not short of 200,0001. " It is true, honorary and honourable distinctions had been conferred upon me when a very young man. Front the excellent and revered George EL I received the Lieutenancy of the county and the Rangership of Sher word Forest, neither of these offices yielding one six pence of emolument. These appointments I solicited of the King himself, and they were bestowed without hesi tation, and with that paternal benignity which, from my earliest youth, I invariably experienced from his Majesty. I entered upon the lieutenancy in times of considerable difficulty and much anxiety. I exerted myself to the ut most, and I hope not unsuccessfully, through many anxious years, when at length tranquillity was restored. I spared neither my person nor my purse: it was my duty so to do, and I rendered it with alacrity and diligence; perhaps I may have fairly earned an expression of thanks from the proper quarter; it would have amply rewarded me, but it was forgotten. Having had the honour of serving four sovereigns, I may be permitted to remark that the per contra in pounds, shillings, and pence, was the payment fur the patents on every occa sion. No great profit here. " The garter I never would ask for, though frequently invited to solicit the honour; when offered to me I de clined, it and suggested that it should be given to the Duke of Wellington, as I had no claim to distinction. I was commanded to accept it, and was invested. The honour is great, and I hope that I sin nut insensible of its value ; but as my present object is to show that I cannot be charged with dishonest gain, I may be per mitted to mention that the fees are on a scale commen surate with the honour. " As none of these distinctions confer emolument or patronage, it will be seen, that with the single exception of pay when on duty with the Yeomanry corps which I commanded, I have never drawn to the amount of one penny from the public purse, nor have I as yet obtained for my family any situation or emolument, though I ho nestly avow that I would not preclude myself from the right of fair and legitimate solicitation, if in favour of a proper and competent member of it. " It will be seen, then, that the public has no great cause to complain of my grasping, or dishonest gains. It may not have approved of my acts, or of my opinions; the Ministers of the day may have been of the same mind ; but at least it will be admitted that I have acted from a pure and conscientious conviction, and with an utter disregard of selfish consequences. "So in all measures of which I highly disapproved, whether Roman Catholic emancipation, reform, eccle siastical commissions, old corporate , ns, Irish policy, corn-laws, free-trade, wiih many others, and more re cently the income-tax and tariff, Canada corn, and na tional education, &c., in which I may not have had the good fortune to concur with the Minister of the day—on all occasions I have not scrupled to disagree and oppose, whether as a candid friend or a candid enemy--nor can I do my duty and abstain from dissent, when I see such Bills as the Jews' Disabilities Bill introduced into a Christian Parliament, and look forward to the promised measures which arc to give a heavy blow and great dis couragement to the Protestant Church, whilst Popery is to be elevated and encouraged, and enemies to our faith, heretics, sceptics, or infidels, are to legislate for that Church which they abhor: such measures demand the stern opposition of every Christian, and every con scientious Protestant, who must too plainly and fear fully perceive how small is the consideration or care for the Establishment, but how great for her deadliest foes. Thus, when I have differed I have never done so from waywardness or faction, but as a painful performance of a duty—from an inward persuasion that though interest and ease forbade it, principle and conviction dictated and required it. These hare been, and I trust will ever con tinue to he, my motives, my incentives, and my guides ; and although I will net pretend to assert that I have b een right, I can safely declare that I believed myself not to have been wrong. " Many, perhaps, may remark—More fool he 'for his rains ; why does he not, follow the ways of the world ? I can only reply, that such ways are not my ways, and that I could derive no satisfaction from exchanging principle for expediency. So, like a wounded deer, I am discountenanced by the whole herd. "My present position seems to be this. Though a determined upholder of the Church of England and of the State—of l'rotestantism and of Protestant ascendancy —an undisguised Conservative of the ancient and once admired British Constitution and the institutions of our country—l am disclaimed by those who lam compelled to think should be what I am. The post which I held for many years as the Sovereign's lieutenant in this county, my sovereign was advised to deprive me of, and I was unceremoniously discarded, merely because I dis dainfully resented the molestations of one of her Ma jesty's high officers—and this after having served four sovereigns loyally, faithfully, zealously, and, I hope, efficiently; " You and others may think that I have written bit- * " It should be borne in mind that Lord Lincoln, though the chief, is not the only - commissioner. He and two other gentlemen form the Boaid of Woods," &c. STATE OF TRADE. The breaking-up of the frost has not yet restored ani mation in this market- The demand for yarn was yesterday m' , re limited than for some time past ; and some of the bus ers for Russia and Germany were offei ing orders on lower prices. We be lieve, that, at a very trifling conceszion from the previous rates, a considerable amount of bu siness wuu'd have been done. The spinners, how ever, being almost all under contract, refused to give way, and the transactions_ were consequently limited. In the goods market, the accounts from India and China have ti nded to &press the prices of shirtings, which, as well as most descriptions of printing cloth, have been so'd on rather lower _ terms ; and the market generally is heavy. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, MARCH 24. —There is no improvement in the market to report to day. The demand, still continues very limited, and prices ruinously low. The wool market has been quite as dull as that for flinnels ; and there seems no desire on the part of the manufacturers, to purchase, except for imme diate use.—Manchester Girt, dawn of this day. EFFECTS OF THE REDUCTION OF THE GLASS DUTY.—A proposal has been made in Manchester to roof with g'ass two streets in the neighbourhood of the Exchange, for the convenience of the congregated mer chaii ts. CHRIST'S HOSIHTAL.—On Easter Tuesday, the whole of the scholars belonging to thin hos.pital, 800 in number, according to annual custom, procet dcd in pro cession, headed by the beadles of the hospital, to the Manion house, w h•. re they were each regaled with two buns and a glass of wine. The Grecians were presontk d by the Lord Mayor with a guinea, los., and ss. tsch, according to their seniority, the monitors with 2s. 61, and the scholars generally with each.

The Lord Chief Justice disposed of several Common Jury Causes, none of which were of any interest to the Public. Liverpool, March 24. . - The Commission for this division of the county was opened to-day by Mr. Justice Coltman. Samuel Brown, 22, was indicted for having, on the Bth November last, stabbed Lancelot Read, on the high seas, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. The prisoner was a seaman on board the Sir Charles Napier, from St. Anne's to Liverpool, and in the course of the voyage quarrelled with the prosecutor, the captain, and, drawing a knife, stabbed him in the region of the abdomen. The captain fell, and was carried into the cabin, where one of the parties on board attempted to replace the entrails which had protruded, but being unsuccessful in the attempt, the party made the wound still larger, and then succeeded in effecting his object. The prosecutor was ill ten days at sea, and five weeks after the arrival of the Sir Charles Napier at Liverpool. The prisoner in his defence alleged that the captain had first knocked him down. he jury found the prisoner Guilty. - - - POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH IVA RK. CRUELTY TO A Holum—John Salt's, a furrier, living in Webber -street, Waterloo-road, was brought before Mr. Traill, charged with exercising great cruelty to a horse. Police-sergeant 19 M, said, that about one o'clock this morning he saw the prisoner driving a horse and cart in the Kent•road, with upwards of ten perrons in the latter. He was beating the horse in a cruel manner, with the butt-end of a largo whip. The load was so heavy that it was impossible for the animal to draw the cart. •Ho was compelled to take the prisoner into cus tody, owing to his repeating his cruel treatment to the home. The prisoner said that after the omnibuses had left off running from Greenwich Fair, ho took up a few passengers, and was driving them towards the Elephant and Castle at an easy rate, when the officer stopped the horse. He was compelled to use the whip to make the animal go on again. :Mr. TRAILL said it was quite clear that he had ill used the animal in a cruel manner; ho should therefore fine him 20s. fur that offence.. He directed Inspector Frond to give information to the Excise respecting his plying for hire without a licence, as he deserved to be punished. REVELATIONS OF SPAIN IN 1845.—This work is calculated to excite extraordinary attention. As a picture of the actual state of Spain, and as It collection of facts relating to persons and events which form the theme of daily conversation in society, it is intensely in teresting. Espartero, Narvaez, Olozaga, Isabella, Chris tina, are brought upon the scene with all the freedom of history, their characters delineated, their actions examined, their motives scrutinised, and their policy de veloped. There is also much valuable information upon the subject of parties, the Camarillas, party leaders, the Spanish army, the Church, the secular clergy, agricul ture, colonies,, wine, commerce, and national manners. We cannot too 'strongly recommend the work to the notice of the reader.--John I3ull. terly. It may be so ; neither my recollections nor my , present situation are very pleasing or flattering. How ever, I may say with the Frenchman—'J'ai tout perdu ' que mon honneur e and that, I thank God, is preserved to me, and it is a true and lasting consolation—l care for, I want nothing for myself that my Sovereign or a Minister can confer upon me. Fortunately for myself, I am unambitious of power, ard best pleased in the en • deavour to be a good subject , : and a good citizen—and it is well that I am so, as I might not inappropriately liken myself to an infected plague man. For who dares to come in contact with me ? To do anything for my be nefit or advantage would be to render himself suspected, he would immediately be clapped into quarantine, and subjected to potent fumigations, and the severest scru tiny. " I will add r.o more, though I might yet add much. Your patience must be severely tested. I have selected a few leading points by which to illu trate the exposition of my case, to vindicate myself from unworthy and un merited suspicion, and to prove to my countrymen that if I may possess their good opinion, and the blessing of a clear conscience, I shall have attained a summit of self-gratulation and self esteem, invaluable only as I may know that it may not be wholly undeserved.—l re main, Sir, yours very sincerely, " NEWCASTLE. " P.S. I have delayed writing for a few days, that I might not give vent to my fe:liugs when I was strongly nettled and Eomewhat disturbed." COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert walked out early this morning. On the return of her Majesty and her Royal Consort, his Royal Highness went to hunt with his harriers.

NORTHAMPTON AND PYTCIILEY HUNT jl ACES.—YESTERDAY. On our arrival at this sporting locality yesterday morning, we were gratified to find that the promised alterations in and on the race-course had been carried out to an extent, end with a completeness, highly to the credit of the inhabitants and their representatives, the Stewards, and Race Committee. The running ground has been widened twenty feet, and the turns, formerly so awkward, if not positively dange ous, so greatly im proved, as to leave no possible cause of complaint. trainers and jockeys are alike loud in their commenda tions. The improvements have not been confined to the course : at an outlay of 1,6001., a sightly and commo dious edifice, within a spacious enclosure, has taken the place of the ricketty affair that so long passed muster as a Grand Stand, to the disgrace of the county and the discomfort—if not to the peril—of those who, from lack of a better, were constrained to patronise it. The new building is capable of holding near 1,500 persons, affords a most excellent view of the races, and abounds with conveniences, as well for the visitors as for those professionally engaged. In all other departments of the management, a spirit has developed itself that has propitiated many influential residents who had pre viomly been lukewarm in their support, and cannot fail to give the Northampton a place amongst the best of our provincial meetings. The races, which are wisely limited to two days, commenced yesterday, with favour. able weather, a full and fashionable company . , and a bill of fare satisfactory alike in amount and variety. With a punctuality that bespoke a determination to adopt one of the many improvements effected under the Bentinck system, the bell rang at a quarter before the time fixed for starting, and at one o'clock exactly the horses quitted the post for The Trial Stakes, of 10 sous each, with 40 added.

StraAn.—A further increase has taken place in the demand for West India Sugar, the grocers have pur chased freely of all descriptions, paying prices fully equal to those of this day week for brown and common yellow, but 6d' to is above fa- good rnd fine kinds, the Refiners have operated with more freedom, and the rates given are fully equal to those pre viously quoted. On Wednesday the private purchases amounted to 750, and on Thursday to 400 hhds and tierces; the market was closed on Friday on_ account of the holidays, and will remain so until to-mtirrovr. There is still a short supply of bright yellow descriptions, but of all other sorts there is a large stock. Brown West India Sugar is worth 36s to 435, low and middling yellow 43s to 48. A, good 49s to 535, and fine 54s to 58s per cwt. The arrivals have been small, whereas the deliveries having been large, the surplus in the comparative stocks is not so large as it was. The moderate rates that prevail for every description of Raw Sugar occasions an increased consumption, and there is every prospect that the quan tity that will be consumed this year Hell far exceed that of the previous one, REFINED.—Prices have suffered a further depression for Refined goods, but there has been a much better demand from the home trade for all descriptions ; brown lumps have been selling at 655, standard lumps 663 6d to 675; Tittlers, ordinary 65s to 6 6 5, middling 67s to 68s, good 69s to 70s, superior 71s to 745; llamburgh Loaves 67s to 735, double ditto 74s to 775; and Wet Lumps G2s to 64s per cwt, these prices are 64 to 7s under those current at the highest point of the market this year. Re fined goods Nava become mod-:rate in price. Bastards common selling at 3:2s to 345, middling 35s to 365, good 37s to 395, and fine 40s to 43s per cwt. Pieces fine at 59s to 625, good 55s to 58s, middling 50s to 545, and low 468 to 49t per cwt. Treacle has met with little attention, and a further decline in the value has taken place, boiled from West India Molasses selling at 17s to 17s 6d, patent 17s to 18s 6d, and Golden Syrup 19s to 22s per cwt. bonded Crushed Sugar at 31s for forward delivery.
