AMERICAN NEW►. ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA. The papers contain the following message from Pre sident Tyler, to the House of Representatives, on the subject of the trade in slaves by citizens of the United States and British subjects, accompanied by several communications. from Mr. Wise, the Minister at Brazil : Captain Rous seconded the motion, which was op posed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. In the discussion which followed Captain PECHELL, Sir C. NAPIER, Mr. E. ELLICE, Mr. HUME, Mr. BARING, Mr. WARLEY, and Sir R. PEEL, took part, and on a division the motion was negatived by a majority of 46. Mr. G. W. HOPE, in moving for certain papers re 'aging to New Zealand, took the opportunity of vin dicating the conduct which Lord STANLEY had pur sued in his negotiations with the New Zealand Com pany. He was replied to by Mr. CHARLES BULLER, who concluded an admirable address by moving, as en amendment—" For the production of all correspondence that had taken place between Lord STANLEY and the New Zealand Company." After an angry debate, the motion was agreed to, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'clock. "TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE !JILTED STATES. "I transmit herewith, for the information of Congress, copies of certain dispatches recently received from Mr. Wise, our Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Brazil, upon the subject of the slave trade; de veloping the means used, and the devices resorted to, in order to evade existing enactments upon that subject. " Anxiously desirous as are the United States to suppress a traffic so revolting to humanity, in the effort to accomplish which they have been the pioneers of civilised States, it can not but be a subject of the most profound regret that any portion of our citizens should be found acting in co-operation with the subjects of other Powers, in opposition to the policy of their own Government ; thereby subjecting to suspicion and to the hazard of disgrace the flag of their own country. It is true that this traffic is carried on altogether in foreign ports, and our own coasts are free from its pollution. But the crime remains the same wherever perpetrated; and there are many circumstances to warrant the belief that some of our citizens are deeply involved in its guilt. "The mode and manner of carrying on this trade aro clearly and fearlessly set forth in the accompanying documents ; and it would seem that a regular system has been adopted for the purpose of thwarting the policy and evading the penalties of our laws. American vessels, with the knowledge, as there are good reasons to believe, of the owners and masters, are chartered, or rather purchased, by notorious slave-dealers in Brazil, aided by English brokers and capitalists with this intent. The vessel is only nominally chartered at so much per month, while, in truth, it is actually sold, to be delivered on the coast of Africa, the charter-party binding the owners, in the meantime, to take on board as passengers, a new crew in Brazil, who, when delivered on the coast, are to navigate her back to the ports of Brazil with her cargo of slaves. Under this agreement, the vessel clears from the United States for some port in Great Britain, where a cargo of mer chandise, known as " coast goods," and designed especially fur the African trade, is purchased, shipped, and consigned, together with the vessel, either to the slave-dealer himself or to his agents or accomplices in Brazil. On her arrival a crew is put on board as passengers, and the vessel and cargo con signed to an equally guilty factor or agent on the coast of Africa, where the unlawful purpose originally designed is finally consummated. The merchandise is exchanged for slaves—the vessel is delivtred up—her name obliterated, her papers destroyed, her American crew discharged, to be pro vided for by the charterers, and the new or passenger crew put in command to carry back its miserable freight to the first contrivers of the voyage, or their employers in Brazil. " During the whole progress of this tortuous enterprise it is possible that neither the American crew originally en listed, nor the passenger crew put on board in the Brazilian ports, are aware of the nature of the voyage, and yet it is on these principally, ignorant, if not innocent, that the penalties of the law are inflicted ; while the guilty contrivers—char terers, brokers, owners, and masters—in short, all who are most deeply concerned in the crime and its rewards, for the most part escape unpunished. " It will be seen, from the examinations which have re cently taken place at Rio, that the subjects of her Britannic Majesty, as well as our own citizens, are deeply implicated in this inhuman traffic. British factors and agents, while they supply Africa with British fabrics in exchange for slaves, are chiefly instrumental in the abuse of the American flag ; and the suggestions contained in the letter of Mr. Wise (whosejudicious and zealous efforts in the matter can not be too highly commended), addressed to Mr. Hamilton, the British Envoy, as to the best mode of suppressing the evil, deserve your most deliberate consideration, as they will receive, I doubt not, that of the British Government. "It is also worthy of consideration whether any other measures than those now existing are necessary to give greater efficacy to the just and humane policy of onr laws, which already provide for the restoration to Africa of slaves captured at sea by American cruisers. From time to time provision has been made by this Government for their com fortable support and maintenance during a limited period after their restoration, and it is much to be regretted that this liberal policy has not been adopted by Great Britain. As it is, it seems to me that the policy it has adopted is cal culated rather to perpetuate than to suppress the trade, by enlisting very large interests in its favour. Merchants and capitalists furnish the means for carrying it on; manufac tures for which the negroes are exchanged are the products of her workshops; the slaves, when captured, inst ea d o f being returned back t o their homes, are transferred to her colonial possessions in the West Indies, and made the means of swelling the amount of their products by a system of ap prenticeship for a term of years; and the officers and crew who capture the vessels receive, on the whole number of slaves, so many pounds sterling per capita by way of bounty. "It must be obvious that, while these large interests are enlisted in favour of its continuance, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to suppress the nefarious traffic, and that its results would be, in effect, but a continuance of the slave trade in another and more cruel form; for it can be a matter of little difference with the African whether he is torn from his country and transported to the West Indies, as a slave, in the regular course of the trade, or captured by a cruiser, transported to the same place, and made to perform the same labour under the name of an apprentice, which is at present the practical operation of the policy adopted. "It is to be hoped that her Britannic Majesty's Govern ment will, upon a review of all the circumstances stated in these dispatches, adopt more efficient measures for the sup pression of the trade which she has so long attempted to put down with, as yet, so little success, and more consonant with the original policy of restoring the captured African to his home. " JOHN TYLER. "Washington, Feb. 19, 1845." The discussion on the motion of Mr. MILES, on Monday led to no result, though it gave rise to an interesting de bate, and to at least one important speech, which told with effect on the Conservative party, because it was founded on fact. The object of the Hon. Member, who is the mouthpiece of the farmers' friends in the House of Commons, was to obtain a portion of the large surplus revenue for the ,relief of agriculture, but why did he apply so late ? All the spare funds had already been appropriated ; the reduction of the sugar duties, glass duties, auction duties, and the abolition of customs' dues on more than four hundred articles of foreign produce, has been, it may be said, irrevocably fixed, and no rea son, no argument, or even threat, could induce the House of Commons to retract its resolutions, and adopt other financial measures for the purpose of putting money into the landlord's pocket. The proposition was utterly absurd. The whole country, of course excepting one small class, are crying out for the abolition of the corn-laws ; the Minister refuses to listen to the general voice, and in the midst of the disappointment Mr. MILES comes forward with a bold front and " asks for more." Never was there a more ill-timed demand, and the House treated it according to its merits, for they re jected it by a majority of 135, the Honourable Member having only 78 supporters. The arguments which he adduced, too, were of the most flimsy description ; he did not make one good point, or establish anything like a claim on the sympathy of the House, or a necessity for lengthened refutation on the part of the Govern ment. Sir JAMES GRAIAM, however, entered into numerous details, and showed most satisfactorily that the landed interest had no just claims to relief from the burdens of which certain persons complain, " I admit," said he " that the landed interest is entitled to protection, but at the same time I feel that these burdens are rightly placed, and lam opposed to their removal. The landed interest derives a certain protection on account of these burdens, and I do not think it should attempt to throw them off." The House was of the same way of thinking, and the short speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL would, therefore probably not have been made but for the renewed attack made on his flank by that skilful partizan and plain-spoken orator, the Hon. Member for Shrewsbury. The conclusion of his speech was admirable. It galled the Premier, because factacannot well be denied, and it made all the monopolists who, in 1142, were so full of joy, almost melt into tears. They were convinced, when too late, that their fate was sealed ; that they had been betrayed by their enemy under false colours ; and that their favourite Government, to obtain which they had shaken off the Whigs, and spent vast sums of money, was in fact only "an organised hypocrisy." The epithet will stick to it• Here is the vivid picture of Conservatism drawn by one who had been behind the curtain. " Such," said Mr D'lsasEm, "is the fate of the great agricultural interest—that beauty which every body wooed, and one deluded. There is a fatality in such charms, and we now seem to approach the catastrophe of her career. Protection appears to be in about the same condition that Protestantism was in 1828. The country will draw its moral. For my part, if we are to have free trade, I, who honour genuius, prefer that such measures should be proposed by the Hon. Member for Stockport, than by one who, through skilful Parliamentary ma noeuvres, has tampered with the generous confidence of a great people and of a great party. For myself, I care not what will be the result. Dissolve, if you like, the Parliament you have betrayed, and appeal to the people, who, I believe, mistrust you. For me there remains this, at least—the opportunity of expressing thus publicly my belief that a Conservative Government is an or ganised hypocrisy." The President had also addressed a message to Con_ gress relative to the negotiations between England and America on the Oregon territory, in which he states that " considerable progression has been made in the discus sion, which has been carried on in a very amicable spirit between the two Governments ; and that there is reason to hope that it may be terminated, and the ne gotiation be brought to a close, within a short period." The papers publish a correspondence between the State Department and Mr. Everett, in reference to seven fugitive criminals, who, it is alleged, committed rob bery, arson, and murder in East Florida, and afterwards escaped to Nassau. Their surrender is claimed by the General Government, under the provisions of the Wash ington treaty. The judges at Nassau decided that, ac cording to the treaty, the prisoners ought not to be given up. Lord Aberdeen has taken the same view, and Mr, Everett is instructed to call the attention of the British Government to the question, and urge a speedy decision, as the result is unsatisfactory. There is no intelligence of the missing packet•ships England and United States. On the other side they were expecting that both vessels would be found to have put back to Liverpool. The Hibernia brings news of the total loss of the ship Coromandel, from this to Bos ton—crew all saved. We regret to state that accounts have been received from Lisbon, dated the 12th inst., of a serious disturb ante in the wine country on the Douro attended with the loss of many lives. This melancholy affair took place in the district of Felguieras, in consequence of an attempt of the tax-gatherers to levy a new impost on wine. The farmers had resolved to oppose it, and they were aided by a vast number of the country people who collected in the district of Pena-Cove, ringing the church bells, and calling upon the inhabitants of the place to arouse from their lethargy, vociferating " Death to the Contractors 1" " Down with the Taxes 1" It was with the greatest difficulty that the contractors, through the protection of the administrator of the district, together with the aid of a few other indivi duals, were enabled to escape • with their lives. They afterwards returned with an escort of 30 infantry, but in the meantime a great number of men, headed by the MORGADO MAGALAES, a country gentle man of the district, had assembled at St. Martinho, armed, some with fowling pieces, but most with pikes or scythes. The soldiers seeing this array, retraced their steps, and took up a defensive position on a neighbouring height, from which, however, they were soon dislodged by the people, who pursued them, by firing a few shots at them and abusing them as robbers and oppressors of the poor. Next day a detachment of eighty infantry and some dragoons, under the command of Captain GuEDEs, at tacked the insurgents, who stood their ground for some time, but at last fled and dispersed, leaving.ten of their number dead on the field. The commercial intelligence from the United States is somewhat encouraging. The spring trade was opening with a good deal of activity. The Stock Market was firm, and in Railway Securities an immense business was doing. Canadian accounts report that the Ministry had expe rienced two defeats—the first, on a local measure, by a vote of 34 to 26 ; and the second, on a Bill reducing the salaries of certain public officers and funding the fees of office, by 35 to 23. With this exception, there is not one item of news. The official journal of Oporto states that the disturb ance had been completely put down, and the district was tranquil. The Chambers had been occupied during the week in discussing the remaining articles of the project for the establishment of savings banks, all of which had been adopted. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

Intelligence has been received from Madrid to the 10th inst. The debate on the Church Property Bill, which was to commence in the Chamber of Deputies on the following day, was looked to with interest. General ARAOZ, who was said to have been implicated in a con spiracy against NARVAEZ, had been brought before a court-martial, and acquitted. The Three per Cents. closed on the Madrid Bourse on the 10th inst. at 35 5-16 for cash, and 354 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 26 at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at Si at 60 days. The Paris papers bring no news of importance. The funeral of M. ETIENNE, who seems to have been greatly respected by all parties, took place on Sunday morning at eleven o'clock, in the Cemetery of Pere la Chaise. The chief mourners were M. ETIENNE, son •of the de ceased, a Member of the Chamber of Deputies and his son-in-law, M. PAGES. The pall was supported by the Duke DECASES, M. TRIERS, M. DUPIN, and M. VILLE MAIN. Count MOLE was to have pronounced the funeral oration, but owing to indisposition he was unable to at tend. The melancholy duty was performed by M. VILLEMAIN. Admiral MACKAU and Count SALVANDY were present at the ceremonies in the church. The re mains of the deceased were interred close to the grave of Mdlle. DUCHENOIS, and at a very short distance from those of General FOY, BENJAMIN CONSTANT, and LAFFITTE.—On Saturday a lengthened discussion took place on the motion for abolishing the stamps on newspapers. Several ramendments to the Bill sanctioned by the Committee were proposed and rejected, when M. AfONTLAVILLE, who had intro duced the Bill, said it had been so altered that he must withdraw it altogether. The Bill was accordingly lost —A dreadful calamity is said to have taken place at Algiers on the 10th, by the explosion of a powder maga vine. In the journals which we have received, no men tion is made of such an accident, but we find the follow ing in the Times of this morning, no other English jour nal alluding to it : " Letters from Algiers, of the 10th instant, contain the details of a frightful event which took place there on the Bth—namely, the explosion of the powder magazine of the park of artillery. The enti re b u ildi ng , an d severa l ot h ers i n its vicinity were utterly destroyed. with the loss of an im mense number of lives, including upwards of 100 officers and soldiers."

The late intelligence by the steamer from Halifax set at rest, in a great measure, all further anxiety respecting the annexation project, and, comme de contume, we may expect it to pass off quietly. The friends of peace have indeed much for which to be grateful to the Senate of the United States, in repressing the war fever of the House of Representatives. Trade was expected to open rather briskly, but produce in return for imports are likely to be in abundant supply. Respecting the Quebec timber trade our accounts state that within the last few days the quantity of snow that has fallen in New Brunswick has been such as will seriously im pede all operations there, and many have been compelled to abandon all thought of getting their lumber to market; and should the snow in Upper Canada, which has fallen this month, tend to interfere even in part with the operations there, prices in Quebec will be good probably till late in the season. The quantity of deals and staves that were culled last year. is as follows :—Pine deals, 1,686,648 std. ; spruce deals, 1,201,372 std. ; standard staves, 1,063,962 pcs. ; West Indies, 2,710,963 pcs. ; barrel, 81,579 pcs. And the shipments were, by the Custom-house returns : Deals, 3,087,001 ; standard staves, 1,533,517 ; puncheon staves, 3,3 9 5,636 ; barrel staves, 556,946.

Portuguese Converted have been 68 1 / 4 to 69, being also higher, although the Lisbon letters announce that the financial plans had not been brought forward, and that there was a bad feeling in certain provinces against further taxation.

(FROM A CORRILBFONDENT.) On the 28th February her Majesty's steam vessel Flamer arrived with the news of E. W. A. Drummond Hay, Esq., late Political Agent and Consul-General at Tangiers, having expired that morning. The following morning the Flamer left again for Tangiers, to convey the remains of Drummond Hay, Esq., to this garrison for interment. She arrived during the night, and the funeral took place on the following morning, Sunday, March 2, at nine A.m. IVhen the procession left her Majesty's steamer Flamer, the Scout and Flamer, and foreign ships of war in the bay, fired eleven minute guns. The funeral cortege proceeded from tho dockyard (which had its flag half-mast high) to the cemetery. The pall-bearers were—Captain Sir John Gordon Sinclair, Bart. ; Colonel G. I. Harding, 0.13., R.E. ; Mr. Carstensin Danish Consul-General; Mr. Ehrenli , ff, Swedish Consul- General; Don Antonio Beramendi, Spanish Consul-General; and Mr. G. de Martino, Sicilian Consul-General. The chief mourners were—Mr. John H. D. Hay, son of the deceased ; Mr. ilauboussin, Gerant of the French Con sulate, and son-in-law of the deceased ; Mr. Murray, British Vice-Consul ; Captain the Hon. J. R. Drummond, of her Majesty's steamer Scout; and Lieutenant Charles J. Postle, Commander of her Majesty's steam-vessel Flamer. All the officers from the ships of war in the bay, both Eng lish and Foreign, also the officers of the garrison not on duty, attended as mourners, as well as the Foreign Consuls from Tangiers. Every sympathy on the part of the foreign representa tives, the Moorish Government, and the inhabitants of Tan giers, was evinced on the sad occasion. About noon the Flamer started for Tangiers, with Mr. John H. D. Hay, Mr. Mauboussin (Gerant to the French Consulate), Dutch Con sul-General, and Mr. Murray. The Danish steamer-of-war Hekla followed, with the foreign Consuls, having also on board the Swedish Commodore Ulner, who came over to attend the funeral. Half an hour ere poor Mr. Hay departed this world for a better one, he quietly sent for his Vice-Consul (Mr. Murray), and said, " Murray, you will take charge as Consul ; my son John will do the political duties. Good bye; God bless you. We shall meet again." The feeling at Tangiers by one and all of the Chargé d'Affaires and Consuls-General, is that the late Mr. Drum mond Hay lost his life through a deep devotion to the cause of his Queen and his country, at the same time taking a great interest for the welfare of Morocco The Amazon man-of-war, Captain Stopford, arrived here yesterday, five days from the Cove of Cork, and proceeded to Malta. The Fautome, Sir E. Nicholson, is at Cadiz. The Scout, the Hon. Captain Drummond, and Flamer steamer, Lieut.-Commander Postle, are at Gibraltar. BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION FOR JOURNEYMEN TAILORS. The anniversary festival of the Benevolent Institu tion for Aged aad Infirm Journeymen Tailors took place, last evening, at the Freemasons' Tavern. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Sidney in ti'e chair. At six o'clock upwards of 250 gentlemen sat down to dinner in the Freemasons' Hall. On the right of the Chairman sat Mr. Stultz, the President, and founder of, and a most liberal benefactor to, the Institution. On his entering the room he was much applauded. The cloth having been removed, and the usual loyal and pa triotic toasts having been given, and cordially ie sponded to, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the toast of the evening, which was prosperity to the Benevolent Insti tution for the Relief of the Aged and Infirm Journey men Tailors.—(Cheers.) He felt unable to give ex , pression to the feelings under which he laboured in rising to propose the toast, and lie could only regret that the task of proposing it had not fallen into abler hands. He had been very kindly solicited to preside over the anniversary festival of the Institution that evening, and he attributed the honour conferred upon him to the fact that be had been chosen to fill the important situa tion of Sheriff of the City of London. So kind, however, had been the reception that he had met with, that he felt quite at home among them.—(Cheers.) He felt as if he were among his own fainily.—(Renewed cheers.) He went heart and band with them in the benevolent object, the success of which they were met to promote— (Cheers)—and one of the, greatest delights he ex perienced from the-office he had the honour to hold was this—that it brought him into contact with the members of benevolent Associations like the present.—(Cheers.) The metropolis might be proud of the number of its institutions for the relief of the decayed merchants and tradesmen. and artisans, and among them this institu tion was entitled to take a high rank. It owed its rise to the exertions of one or two benevolent gentlemen, more especially to his lion. Friend on his right (Mr. Stultz), who in this work of benevolence stood almost alone in this great metropolis.—(lmmense cheering.) It must be delightful to him to see his benevolent exer tions thus responded to—(Cheers)—and he might well feel proud in having been the founder of such an Insti tution.—'Cheers.) If an augury of the future could be drawn from the past, then he should say, that a long course of prosperity was open to this institution. Formerly there had been no class of men so improvident as the journeymen tailors. But a great change had recently taken place, which might be mainly attributable to this Institution, which en couraged provident habits in the men, and enabled them, by a very small pecuniary subset iption, to secure to themselves a provision in old age, or in sickness.— (Cheers.) He rejoiced to say, that the Society was in a prosperous state. They had between 11,0001. and 12,000/. in the funds—(Cheers)—and they had last year received between 4,0001 and 5,0001. They had lately completed a beautiful and extensive range of alrnhouses ; but, extensive as they were, those houses were already crowded with inmates, and there was a great call for some extension of them. With that liberality which always characterised him, Mr. Stultz had offered the ground whereon to erect more houses, whenever they should be in a position to avail them selves of his offer.—(Loud cheers.) That Institution offered to every man connected with the trade the cer— tainty of being saved from the parish, if he became a contributor to the Institution, and the contribution re quired was so small, that it was absolutely without a parallel in the history of similar institutions.—(Cheers.) Now, his first duty as chairman was, to ask them to support this Institution by every means in their power.—(Cheers.) Let it not be said that his occu pancy of the chair had been of disadvantage to the Institution. He called upon them to support him by contributing liberally to the funds of the Institution.— (Cheers.) Let them not coneider the weakness of the advocate, but the strength of the cause.—(Renewed cheering.) An Institution like this, for the support of the aged and infirm, appealed to the sympathy of every human being. He hoped that it might increase in strength and power every year—that it might run a long course of prosperity, and reach a good old age.—(Loud cheers.) The worthy Chairman concluded by pro posing the toast, which was drunk with three times three, and followed by Balfe's beautiful ballad, " We may be happy yet," which was exquisitely sung by Mr. G. Genge, and honoured with an encore. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the Health of Mr. Stultz, the President, who had contributed in founding and supporting this Institution, no less a sum than 14,5001.—(Vehement cheering.) In fact, the Institution had been most liberally supported. One of the Vice- Presidents, Mr. Hounsler, had contributed 1,0041. to its support.—(Loud cheers.) The health of Mr. Stultz having been drunk enthusi astically, with all the honouree that gentleman, who was received with immense cheering, briefly acknowledged the compliment. The health of the Chairman was then drank and ac knowledged. Various other toasts were given in the course of the evening, and the party broke up about eleven o'clock. Nearly 6001. was subscribed to the charity in the room. The musical arrangements, which were under the di rection of Mr. G. F. Ta) lor, reflect the highest credit on that gentleman. Besides the ballad so exquisitely sung by Mr. Genge, to which we have already alluded, we cannot dose this notice without warmly praising the spirited manner in which the butfo-duet from the Elisir d'Amore was given by Messrs. Smith and Rennie. It was much superior to the ordinary run of after-dinner singing. HOTEL AND TAVERN-KEEPERS' PROVIDENT IN smunoN.—Monday the sixth annual meeting of the sub scribers to this Institution was held at the London Tavern. Mr. Pagliano, of Leicester-square, in the chair. The report congratulated the members on the progressive success of the Institution, there having been during the past year a con tinued increase of funds. The total receipts had been .5081. 14s. 11d., and deducting the expenditure, a balance of 401. 12s. 10d. remained. The sum 0 326/. 10s. 7d. had been added to the funded property, which now amounts to 3,6171. 18s. 2d. --- EXTENSIVE FIRE AT A LUNATIC ASYLUM.—At about nine on Monday morning the inhabitants of Not tingham were alarmed by a report, that the Lunatic Asylum, which is erected just outside the town, on the Southwell road, was on fire. On hastening to the spot the rumour was found to be correct; but happily the conflagration was sub dued before any fatal accident occurred, although it has been attended with a considerable destruction of property. It ap pears that at about twenty minutes past eight, one of the female domestics went into the laundry, a new and commo dious building at the west end of the asylum, to fetch some chips which had been placed near the steam-drying appara tus, and found that they had ignited, and that the room was full of flames. The alarm being given, a messenger was instantly dispatched to the town for assistance; and m a short time the engine of the Nottingham and Derby shire Fire-office arrived on the spot, drawn by two post horses. It was immediately taken up the lawn and com menced playiag, and by its means, combined with the ener getic exertions of a large body of firemen and the Not tingham police, who were in attendance, the fire was got under by ten o'clock. The scene after the fire was one cf extreme desolation ; large heaps of half-burnt rafters lay in cheerless contrast with the snow which lay on the lawn to the thickness of several inches; and the roofless building, with its blackened walls and windows deprived of their glass, proved that the devouring element had done its worst. The asylum is an extensive range of buildings, erected in 1810, and at the present time contains about 200 patients. The laundry and other buildings which have been burned had been recently added from designs furnished by Messrs. Hawksley and Jalland of this town, architects. They consist of a room 61 feet by 24, in which is the drying apparatus, and two other apartments, that would make together a room of similar di mensions. The drying room is completely gutted, and the other rooms are considerably . damaged ; a large quantity of clothes, which were being dried, were also destroyed. These buildings are detached from the patients' wards, so that it was not considered necessary to remove those unfortunate persons; but had the wind been east, it is thought that the fire would have communicated, in which case the consequences must have been dreadful, as the part nearest the fire was occupied by the most dangerous of the lunatics. Imme diately after the news had become public, a considerable number of the committee assembled on the spot, to make inquiries into the circumstances of the case. Amongst those present were Mr. W. Hodgson Barrow, of Southwell, the High Sheriff; the Rev. T. Coates Cane, of Southwell, chaplain to the High Sheriff and magistrate of the county; Messrs. T. Close, J. Braithwaite, W. Hannay, and Dr. Williams, magistrates of the town ; Mr. G. Rawson, clerk to the borough magistrates ; and Dr. Powell, the resident physician. Having examined the buildings, and the servants, they came to the conclusion that the occurrence was purely accidental. The damage cannot now be ascertained, - but it must amount to several hundred pounds. The building is understood to be uninsured. *- kyt , a u A.„ r` ,71 r a ti ot :, - ,11 7 41,00 trot, a LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 1845. There was a Commission at Four o'clock, and the Royal Assent was given to various Bills. The 'louse of Lords re-assembled at Five o'clock. The Duke of WELLINGTON promised the Marquis of LONDONDERRY that the reports of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the best means for preventing explosions in mines should be laid before Parliament. A conversation then took place on the subject of Irish and Scotch Banking, but it led to no result. The report on the Property -tax Bill was brought up, and the 4th of April fixed for the third reading. The report on the Companies Clauses Bill was brought up. The Committee on Scotch Schoolmasters was ap pointed, and the House adjourned to the 3d of April. The House of Commons met at Four. On the motion of Mr. STRIITT, it was ordered—" That in the case of every petition for a private Bill, on which the Committee on Petitions shall not have reported previously to the adjournment of the House for the Easter recess, the time for reading such private Bill the, first dm be extended till Friday, the 11th day of Ajhil next." After the,t4naaction of private business, Lord DuxoAli rose to bring forward the motion of which he had gien notice, on the subject of the window tax. The Noble Lord went into a great number of sta tisticsi details; for the purpose of showing the injustice of SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vutitir 1 41 ptnton. " Who runs may read." POREIGN. His Majesty the King of the French received on Saturday the Ministers of the Interior and of the Public Works, the Austrian Ambassador, Baron Bussiere, Generals St. Yon and St. Simon, Baron Ivry, and the Marquis of Turgot. M. Jacques Lefevre has been appointed President, and M. de Peyramont Secretary to the Committee appointed to con sider the proposition of M.

Benoist Secretary, to the Commit tee to which has been referred the subject of the conversion o the Five per Cents. Marshal Souk has issued an order prohibiting the soldiers at Lille, who are freemasons, from attending lodges, and ordering those who are not freemasons to resist every at tempt that may be made to induce thorn to join the society. The contract for the works of the Sceaux and Paris Rail. way has been taken. The works are to be completed in three months. The house ofßuckholtz, of Stockholm, has stopped payment. A fellow named Avisse, convicted of the murder of a woman at Eu, was executed at Rouea on Saturday. A treaty of navigation on the principles of reciprocity has been concluded between France and Tuscany. The Gazette du Midi, of the 6th of March, published at Marseilles, contains a petition, signed by thirty partisans of the Jesuits, and addressed to the Chamber of Peers, praying that M.M. Michelet and Quinot may be prevented from de livering their courses of lectures. It is known, says the Aupsburgh Gazette, that France has concluded a treaty with the Imaum of Muscat. The Governor of the island of Bourbon has been commissioned to examine and report upon the capabilities of the Bay of Arfila or Amfila, near Massanah, in the Red Sea, which M. Combes purchased during his stay in Abyssinia, on account of the French Government, for 100,U00 francs. It is now ascer tained that only 10,000 francs were paid for th• bay, which, instead of possessing an anchorage for ships of war, can scarcely accommodate the smallest craft. 1612.177 ATM P 024 C 19 .

William Shaw was remanded for seven months by the Chief Commissioner of the Insolvent Court, on account of unliquidated damages in an action of seduction. A long investigation took place at the Guildhall, into the conduct of Mr. Izod, the auctioner, and Mr. Lewis, the sheriff's officer, who appeared before Mr. Alderman Fare brother, to answer the complaint of Mr. William Cole, of Clapton, respecting the substitution of a diamond ring of little value, for one of greater value, part of the effects of his brother ( Mr. Frederick S. Cole, late a wine• merchant in the City), seized and sold under an execution, by order of the Sheriff of Middlesex. Mr. Lewis stated that the genuine watch and ring were in the possession of Mr. Harding, a solicitor, and the case was adjourned in order to secure that gentleman's attendance. At Marlborough-street, John Lomas, a bird dealer, ap peared before Mr. Maltby to undergo a final examination en a charge of having s t o l en a c l oa k f rom t h e h ouse of Mr. Squirrell, Margaret-street, Cavendish-square. On his first examination three persons swore positively to him as the man whom they had seen in Mr. Squirrell's house, and a pawnbroker swore that Lomas had pledged the property with him. To rebut this, the prisoner produced a host of wit nesses, some of whom knew that he had not left his house At all on the day of the robbery, and with regard to the pawning, a respectable watchmaker, at Lewisham, swore that he was purchasing a bird of the prisoner at that place, at the very hour that the pawnbroker stated lie was in his shop. On further inquiry being made, the innocence of the poor fellow was completely proved, and Mr. Maltby discharged him without the slightest imputation on his character. He is, however, nearly ruined, for, in consequence of his imprison ment on this unfounded charge, his stock and trade have been almost anaihilated. COUMT-PIi.SHION.A.II3LM. Sir Robert Peel entertained Dr. Buckland, Professor Owen, Sir Henry De la Beebe, Dr. Playfair, Dr. Cane, Mr. Eastlake, Mr. Pickersgill, Mr. Wheatstone, Mr. Pusey, Vis count Villiers, and a select party, at dinner, on Sunday last, at his residence in Whitehall-gardens. The Marquis of Anglesey entertained Lord Brougham, Count d'Orsay, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Mr. Wombwell, Hon. S. Byng, Captain Rous, Lord Alfred Paget, and a large party at dinner on Sunday last. Viscount Palmerston had a large party of his Parliamen tary friends to dinner, on Sunday, at his residence on Carlton House- terrace. The Duchess of Buccleuch and family are to leave Montagu House within the week, for Broughton House, near Ket tering, for the recess. The Earl of Dalkeith has returned from Eaton for the vacation, and will accompany the family to Northamptonshire. The Marquis and Marchioness of LanFdowne have aban doned their intention of passing the approaching recess at his Lordship's villa at Richmond, on account of the incle mency of the weather, and intend to remain at Lansdowne House during the holidays. The Dowager Duchess of Cleveland is expected to arrive in Seamore-place, Curzon-street, at the end of the ensuing week, from Newton House, near Boroughbridge, for the season. Lord Saltoun, Viscount Melgund, Lord Elcho, and a dis tinguished party, has been visiting Lord and Lady Augusta Fitzclarence, at Etal House, Berwickshire, during the pre ceding week.

A female, unknown, has committed suicide by hanging herself at the Red Lion public-honse, in Mulgrave-place, Woolwich. The deceased, who appears to have been a re spectable-looking young woman, about twenty-five years of age, had engaged a lodging for the night at the Red Lion, and the following morning was found hanging to the bed-rail, in the chamber which she occupied. She is described as five feet four or five inches in height, of fair complexion, with light hair, and wearing a black stuff gown with cape and cloth boots. Her linen was marked "E. P.," and she had a cotton handkerchief marked " J. P." Our readers will be gratified to learn that the Dove, which left Cowes on the sth of February, reached Madeira on the 17th of that month, and sailed on the 18th for Fernando Po. The Bishop of Calcutta has no intention of resigning his bishopric. His visit to this country, should he be spared to return, will be only temporary, with a view to recruit his health, which has suffered severely during his recent visita tion. He proposes to take a furlough of eighteen months, and to return to India in time to consecrate the new cathe- dral. The state of his health may possibly alter this arrangement, but such is his present design. He has engaged a passage by the Oriental steamer, which leaves Calcutta on May 10, and may be expected in England about the end of June. The late General Sir Henry Grey, Colonel of the 13th Light Dragoons, has left 120,0001. to his widow and sole executrix. The American line of packet-ship Switzerland arrived in the St. Katharine Docks on Monday morning with a large cargo, consisting of beef, pork, cheese, and other descriptions of American provisions, besides the usual variety of cargo generally brought from the United States for consumption in this country. She had also a number of cabin and steer-• age passengers on board, and several packages of specie. The variable state of the wind for the last day or two has enabled this vessel to clear the Channel, where a very large fleet of ships have been detained for a considerable time, ow ing to adverse winds and boisterous weather. So soon as the wind changes from the quarter it has remained in for so long a time, and the present severe weather breaks up, a large influx of vessels is expected. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, MARCH 13.—The Hereditary Prince of Saxe Meiningen left Brussels yesterday, for Paris. A carriage is now building for the iron railway, which is to convey eighty-four passengers. It is to rest on two plat forms, each on one pair of wheels. Every precaution has been taken to facilitate the motion of this leviathan even on the sharpest turning of the railway. The centigrade thermometer of the Royal Observatory of Brussels indicated in the night of the 12th nearly as great a degree of cold as at any time during this winter. At mid night the mercury was at 8 deg. below zero ; at six in the morning of the 13th, it was at 10 deg. 9 min., (12 of Fah.), which was the lowest point; at ten o'clock, at 8 deg. 4 min., and at five o'clock in the afternoon, it was at 6 d g. 5 min. It seems that the total length of the railways decreed by the laws of the Ist of May, 1834, and the 26th of May, 1837, is 111 leagues and 8-10ths, of which 47 leagues are double, and 67 8 -10ths have got •nly four single lines. The entire expense, up to the 31st of December, 1844, was 144,746,774 florins. MAR IT 14.—The Senate has opened the general discus sion of the project of law modifying the existing legislation relative to corn. The Chamber of Representatives adopted the Articles of the Budget of Public Works relative to public buildings. The whole Budget was then agreed to. The average price of wheat in the week ending the 22d of February was 16f. 30c., and that of Rye, 101. 28c. per hec tolitre. Two Roman Catholic priests of Dresden, and another of Leipsic, declare in the Universal Government Gazette, that the conversation alleged to have taken place between the King of Saxony and the Catholic clergy of Leipsic in an audience granted by his Majesty, and of which several Saxon Journals have spoken, is a mere fiction.—Brussels Papers, March 15. BRUSSELS, MARCH 15.—The cold continues to be very intense. On the 15th the mercury in the centrigrade ther mometer, at the observatory, at six o'clock in the morning, was at 10 deg. 2 min. A commission has just been formed by the Minister of Jus tice and of Foreign Affairs jointly to draw up a penal code, for the use of the mercantile navy. The Commission consists of seven members. . The Chamber of Representatives, in its sitting to-day, re solved to refer to the Minister of Finance the repo r t o f th e Committee appointed to examine the petition of the sugar refiners, and their workmen, and also the petitions of the workmen at Ghent, proposing the adoption of certain mea sures for the protection of that business. The President stated that he had just received from the President of the Senate a project of law, modifying the corn-law which the Senate had adopted. It was referred to the Sections.

GALLOPPING MATCH AGAINST TIME.-EXTRA ORDINARY PERFORMANCE.—An event, which created consi derable interest in sporting circles, many persons being pre sent from the metropolis, came off yesterday afternoon on the Bath road, between Slough and Colnbrook, a match having been made by the proprietor of one of the principal hotels at Windsor, to ride his horse, an animal not more than 14 hands and one inch in height, 24 miles in one hour and a half. Time was backed by Mr. Brown, stationer to her Majesty, and several other of his sporting friends, to a con siderable amount. In consequence of the unfavourable state of the road from the snow which fell during Sunday afternoon, and the frost during the night, the odds, at starting, were 4to 3 and 3to 2 against the horse. At the start, which took place between two and three o'clock, the horse went away in beautiful style, and won the match, with upwards of eight minutes to spare, without showing symptoms of the least distress. The horse bad just 15 minutes to perform the last mile and a half in. It was most admirably ridden ; and there is no doubt with a lighter weight on its back (its rider weighing nearly 14 stone) it would get over 26 miles of ground in the same time with the greatest ease. Considerable sums of money changed hands upon tlio OVCAOiOII. COURT '_= IC~ ~T.~.~~.. Sir Robert Peel hatl an audience of the Queen yeserdif t , Buckingham Palace.
