Indigo—lmmediately after the departure of the mail per Hin. dostan, the demand for all sorts became less active, and at the public sales, the biddings being languid, and many parties unwil ling to submit to lower prices, several marks were withdrawn or bought in. During the past week, however, holders have again manifested an intention of realising, and, with very few exceptions, every parcel found purchasers at a somewhat lower figure, particu larly ter inferior qualities. We are now anxiously looking for further accounts, and hope the Bentinek (now hourly expected) will bring fresh purchasers into the market to support the prices which have been established. The shipments on French account already amount to 25,308 fy. rods. and about 1,000 chests are in course of shipment, making a total of 26,803 fy. mds., so that we may consider the purchases fOr that country to be nearly completed, as (considering the pre. sent state of things) we do not suppose they will take off more than I &St year. The Americans have acted with great caution, and we do not think tbeir purchases up to this time exceed 1,000 chests. The Moguls have also bought very sparingly, for, as we before stated, their last year's exports will suffice for two years' consumption, and we think in putting them down for 1,000 chests we give the full extent of their purchases this season; so that there remains for shipment to Great Britain only 28,000 chests, of which 14,540 have already gone forward. Out of the 17,000 chests which have been offered by Chests. public auction, about 2,500 have been bought in, leaving sold To which we have to add the sales by private contract And the quantity shipped, or to be shipped, on account of proprietors in England, say Total., Leaving still to be disposed of ...... .. 14,500 8,500 4,000 27,000 13,000 Taking the out-turn of the session at or 140,000 mds., although, as we must confess that in many in. stances the invoices from the upper provinces have proved shorter than we anticipated, we think it very probable that the figure we gave in our October and November circulars will prove consider ably over the mark. Sugar—The slight improvement in demand noticed in our last has continued, and a large amount of business has been done in qualities suitable for the home markets, but at, in some Instances, a slight decline on former rates. Fine white Benares still con tinues scarce, and any parcels that arrive are held at a ♦ery high figure. Low Khaurs and Ghoor have been inquired for for local manufacture. Exports from the Ist to the 17th inst. amount to 57,148 maunds. Saltpetre—Holders of this staple having evinced a disposition to meet the views of shippers by submitting to a slight decline, trans.. actions have been rather on the increase for both the English and American markets. For France there has also been a moderate business doing. Rum—This article is now seldom offered for sale here, except in small quantities for local purposes. Shipments from the Ist inst. up to date amount to 54,000 gallons. Raw Silk—As anticipated in our last, the holders of Hurrypaul and Radnagore of the rainy bund have been obliged to submit to lower rates, and some transactions have taken place in those sorts at a reduction of about four annas per seer. The November bond of Cossimbazar and Junghypore is now arriving freely, and appears to be of very superior quality ; transactions, however, have as yet been limited, owing to the high prices demanded, and all parties appear disposed to wait further advices from England. Exports from the Ist inst. up to date amount to 881 mde. Silk Piece Goods—The active demand which has been expe. sienced for corahs for several months past, has not in the slightest degree fallen off, and all descriptions, but more especially Cossim. bazar, readily find purchasers at former rates. Choppas and ban. dannas are also more inquired for. Exports from the Ist inst. up to date are as follows :—viz., to Great Britain, 36,941 pc.. corahs, and 4,183 pct. choppas and bandannas. Opium—Prices have not materially altered since the Govern ment sale, particulars of which we gave in our last; out of the 3,600 chests sold, there only remain :2,550 to be shipped. Cotton—We have not a single transaction or shipment to notice since our last. Rice--Notwithstanding the continued very high rate of freight, we have no falling off to notice in shipments of this article, but prices having slightly declined, shippers are enabled to lay it down in England at about former rates. For the Mauritius a moderate amount of business continues to be done, but shipments can only be made at further advanced rates of freight. Exports from the Ist inst. up to date to Great Britain, 62,437 maunds, and to Mauritius, 33,768 maunds. • Oil Seeds—Linseed continues in request for America at rather higher prices, but present rates of freight have stopped transactions for Great Britain. IMPORTANT NEW WORK ON SPAIN. Now ready in 2 vols , small Bvo., 21s. bound, REVELATIONS OF SPAIN, In 1843. BY AN ENGLISH RESIDENT. Henry Colbuni, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. To be hal of all Booksellers. EXCRANGE. Bills with documents having been more plentiful of late, we have to notice a rise in rates, but as most of the agency houses who are in the habit of drawing show a determination to resist, we see no reason to expect that any further advance will take place. Our present quotations are—far English 10 months' date bills, Is. 10-id. to Is. I Id. per rupee; and for French bills payable in England, Is. I Id. to Is. llid. Some of the latter payable in France have also been negotiated at from 2f. 471 c. to 2f. 50c. HER MAJESTY'S 'THEATRE. The Nobility, Subscribers, and the Public are respectfully informed that this THEATRE WILL OPEN on SATURDAY, MARCH 8, When will be produced (first time in this country), Verdi's new Opera, ERNANI.

Grand Pas des Dryades by Mdlle. L. Grahn and the Ladies of the Corps do Ball' MONEY M&RIEET. Our quotations for all descriptions of Bank Stock and Govern. ment securities are nearly the same as those given last month, since which, however, we have to notice the dividend declared by the Union Bank, at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. The high rates which have been ruling for some time past, and even now (in the face of the large amuunt of capital required for the speculations in opium and indigo) show no symptoms of declining, which sufficiently manifests the state of our money market. FREIGHTS. Owing to the demand for tonnage for the Mauritius and West Indies, our rates for Great Britain have been maintained. Freight has also, we understacd, been taken on vessels touch. ing at Demerara to land emigrants, at the rate of 41. to 41. 4s. for sugar and rice. CHINA. The intelligence by the Ardasseer comes down to the 18th of December. We subjoin an ext-act from a trade circular, dated Canton, December 14, and another from a private letter, dated Hong-Kong, November 28, which give all the news of commercial interest :-- "CANTON, Dec. 14, 1844.—Since ours of the 13th ult., our market has remained very dull and inactive—a greater or more general depression has rarely been felt here. The very low rates of imports have prevented importers pressing sales, and the high prices demanded for teas, have, in some degree, limited operations therein. Imports—Of raw cotton sales have been few, although the deliveries have been very large, and the stock of Bombay greatly diminished. Shirtings—Greys are taken off freely, but whites remain on hand, with large increasing stocks. Metal and tin plates are disposable, holders are growing mere firm, but stocks are too large to admit of early improvement. Opium—ln Patna there has been considerable fluctuation, with a final improvement. The present demand is steady for consumption, without specula tion. Woollens of every description partake largely of the ge neral depression, and transactions have been very limited; but as stocks are not heavy (excepting camlets) some improvement at this season may be looked for in exports. Silk continues to be shipped freely at Shanghae ; here nothing is doing. Our season's total export will reach or exceed 1,000 bales. Tea export has been large, being to date in 41 vessels, ' Pampero,' included, Black, 16,337,1461b5.; Green, 3,424,5251b5. ; Total, 19,761,671 lbs." COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF EXPORTS. 1844-s.—Nov. 30, 88 ships; Black, 14,916,7001b5. ; Green, 3,372,4691b5.; Total, 111,289,1691b5. 1843.4.—N0v. 30, 29 ships; Black, 13,025,7691b5.; Green, 2,045,9061b5. ; Total, 15,071,6751b5. Excess of 1844-5. —Black , 1,890,9311b5. ; Green, 1,326,5631b5.; Total, 3,217,4941b5. The crop of new Green Teas promises to be ample for all de mands, nor does there appear any sufficient reason for the ex travagantly high prices hitherto demanded and paid for them. Exchange on London remains at 4s. 6d. per Sp. doll., but opera. tions have not been extensive. Tonnage—The supply is ample and without indication of change on present rates-31. 10s. to 31. 155. - " The Canton Market has been for a long time in a ruinous state, and sales during the past six months have been leaving from 25 to 30 per cent. loss, and I really see no prospect at present of its improving, so long as shipments continue to be poured in from India to so large an extent; nor until the present heavy stocks in first and second hands are much reduced. I would, therefore, strongly advise you to have nothing to do with shipments of cotton to this place, unless you can purchase at much lower rates than have been current so long at Bombay. I should say, unless you can purchase the best Bombay cotton—Surat or Broach—at 70 rs. per candy, it would be an exceedingly dangerous speculation ; but the most suitable qualities of cotton for this market are Dhollera and Compta; Surat and Broach do not fetch a proportionate high price to what you pay for it in Bombay, and should you ship to this, pay great attention to the colour ; see that it be white and perfectly free from seeds. Seedy Cotton is saleable only at a great reduction in price. This is the case, even though the staple and colour is good. So avoid shipping seedy cotton of all things. Compta, if of a good clear white colour, will sometimes fetch as high a price as Dhollera; but It is seldom to be had in Bombay so syhite,imd of the two probably Dhollera is the safest to ship, if to be had nearly as low as Compta. What the Chinese buyers like in Cotton is freedom from seeds, purity of colour, and that flaky appearance and firmness. The prices of to-day are as follow : Bombay 5 Taels at 71 per picul. Madras Bengal But the highest rate quoted for Bombay is only to be obtained tor some small lots of very fine Cotton. The deliveries ofßombay qualities have been of late more extensive, but the stock stiU re mains about 122,000 bales, " I am sorry to think that the Bombay opium trade will be a Jong time recovering itself here—almost all the Malwa that has come in during the past year having been spurious, and many parties must have lost heavily. Only think of it being sold at Whampoa at prices ranging from 500 to 200 dollars per chest. Buyers have little confidence now in Mature opium; they invari ably demand a reduction on its being delivered. Patna has fallen suddenly to 660 to 665, and Benares 615 to 620 per chest. This is a very disagreeable place to live in compared to Bombay. and is very sickly. The Hong. Kong fever appears to be incurable. The weather at present is fine, but very cold."

Several boats im mediately put off from the shore to search for th e body, but all their exertions for its recovery were fruitless, as the tide was running strong at the time, and must have quickly carried him away from the spot where he oak.

The whole extending to nearly Five Columns. THIRD EDITION OF ~ THE SUN." We have received many complaintsfrom Subscribers who are frequently disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is still further aggravated by an extra charge of a haVpenny (the Post office fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition. This Edition contains the Latest News: Parliamentary Debates up to a Quarter to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together with the " Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Official Prices of Shares in Railways, &e. dc.—The Betting at Tattersall's on Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds — The Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the dose—and all other news arriving in Londoz after three o'clock in the afTernesti, when the Seemd or Evening Edition goes to press. In distant parts of the country, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE DOVES TN ADVANCE, a matter of importance to those who want early iaterligence. In those places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night, the " MORNING SUN," containing ALL the Debates, ‘kc. ite, will answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves actordingly. Re.speetable Agents will always supply the proper paper; but where any triOd neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " The Sun" office, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their representations.

The House of Lords did not sit. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. he confessed that he saw but little chance of its 1 removal. The transaction of private business and the presenta tion of petitions occupied the attention of the House during the early part of the sitting. In answer to Mr. THORNELY, Sir R. PEEL stated that under the reciprocity treaties, sugar, the produce of the United States, would be admitted upon the same terms as Java or Manilla sugar. Lord LINCOLN stated in answer to Mr. REDHEAD YORKE, that the cost of the new Houses of Parliament would not greatly exceed the estimate, and that there was every reason to believe that the new House of Commons would be ready by 1847. Sir J. GRAHAM stated, in answer to Lord RIMING TON, that it was not the intention of the Government to introduce any measure on the subject of turnpike trusts ; and in answer to Lord MAHoN, the Right Hon. Baronet stated, that he did not intend to intro duce any measure to remedy the evils arising from the interment of the dead in large towns. On the order of the day being read for the House resolving itself into Committee on the Property Tax Bill, Captain BERNAL OSBORNE moved as an amend ment, that the House do resolve itself into Commit tee that day three months. Mr. Murrz, in a humorous speech, supported the amendment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended he financial measures of the Governa ant. Mr. EWART opposed the amendment, on the ground ;hat it was wiser to have recourse to direct than to ndirect taxation. Mr. D. BARCLAY approved of the property-tax, but hoped that the increasing prosperity of the country would enable them to do without it in a few years. Mr. HAWES considered the continuance of the in come-tax as a great obstacle to commercial reform, and should, therefore, vote against it. On a division, the amendment was negatived by a majority of 73, the numbers being—for the amend ment, 23; against it, 96. The House then resolved itself into Committee. On the first clause being put, Mr. CURTEIS moved an amendment, the effect of which would have been to limit the duration of the tax to two years instead of three. The amendment was pressed to a division, when there appeared for the amendment, 17; against it, 69; majority against it, 52. A long conversation followed, during the course of which Lord Jourt RUSSELL expressed his determination to support the amendments of which Mr. SPOONER had given notice, on a former day—first, to enable traders to deduct from the profits of their trade such sum or sums of money as would have been a fair remuneration to persons not members of their families for services performed by any member of their respective fami lies; secondly, to enable parties assessed under schedule D to deduct poor-rates and other parochial rates paid in respect of premises used by them for the purposes of trade; thirdly, to enable persons to deduct from the profits of their trade the sums they might have paid for insurances upon their lives ; and, fourthly, to authorise deduction on account of certain articles kept for the purposes of trade, though such articles may occasionally be used for other pur poses ; and Lord SANDON expressed his agreement with the principles laid down by Dr. BOWRING, that the nearer approach they made to direct taxation the more they consulted the public good. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to Mr. WAKLEr, said that with respect to the question as to whether the measure would be continued beyond three years, the time for considering it would be when the three years had expired. It was, however, ultimately agreed, that all the pro posed amendments should be considered on the bringing up the report. The remaining clauses of the Bill were agreed to, and the House resumed. The Stamp Duties (Ireland) Bill was read a third time, and passed, after a short discussion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER announced that the report on the Property and Income-tax Bill would be brought up on Friday. Certain returns relating to Irish Railways were ordered, on the motion of Mr. BALDWIN, and The House adjourned at Half-past Nine o'Clock. of Commons. It is a Centaur—half Parlia mentary, half departmental. It is partly official, partly legislative. It is a power created—not even by an Order of the SOVEREIGN in Council—but by a simple minute of the Lords of Privy Council for Affairs of Trade, which absolutely interferes between Parliament and its constituents. It is a power that, if it do not override, does yet forestal and prejudice the privilege of the subject to communicate directly, and in the first instance, with Parliament, on those rights and interest of private property which both its cwn statutes and the practice of the Constitution have recognised from the earliest foundations of the Monarchy. It seems to us that there are substantive grounds of objection to the whole affair of the new Committee or Board. Sir R. PEEL, whose mode of encountering constitutional objections and great principles is always peculiar, brought! forward in a reply a most vigorous defence of the Committee, their cha racter, their mode of doing business, and their reports. We never read anything more curious, or less pertinent. " The Hon. Gentlemen could hardly, he supposed, desire any change in the Board of Trade Committee, so far as the legislation of the present year was concerned." Why ? Because it was unobjectionable either in principle or in practice? No. But " kis Noble Friend Lord Somerset had said that all its Reports would be presented by Easter. Good Friday fell this year"—(the Right Hon. Baronet loves to be so accurate and precise on small matters)—" on the 21st instant. To make any alterations that could affect their legislation in this matter during the present year would therefore be impossible." He had, however, some consolation in store for those who have suffered by the " Bulling" or " Bearing" in Railway Scrip, so successfully con ducted for those who enjoyed the benefit of early exclusive information on the judgments of this Com mittee, a cousin of Parliament once-removed, as it were. Men who had lost thousands, by the unex pected sale, at any discount, of shares in scheme, say No. 504, in consequence of some other parties having been Mesmerically apprized of the pending report upon it before publication, must have been gratified to learn that Sir ROBERT had actually "viewed, with admiration, the devotion which his Noble Friend at the head of the Board of Trade had made of his time to the duties which were to be performed." For our parts, our "admi ration" is engrossed by the mystic agency that transmits the most secret intelligence with such wonderful promptitude from Downing Street to Threadneedle Street, and over to Dublin. Then the Right Hon. BARONET fell into another extacy of delight at the last Report of the Board, which con tained some novel and highly important suggestions for improved gradients. He had read this Report with delight, and he kindly prescribed a perusal of it for all cases in which gentlemen experienced an in ability to digest the maintenance of the Railway Committee. This announcement, like its predecessor, seemed to fall but dully on the ear of the House. It was still as far from the objection urged upon him as the last Antarctic Expedition was from home, at South ern Island. As a climax, the effect of which was to silence all further complaint and allay all suspicion touching the unimpeachable excellence of his Commission, he finally declared that, "judging from the character of the Members, and from their reports, he had a very strong presumption in favour of the tribunal." Now, really, this is not the way in which the Minister should meet grave objections to the con stitution of a new, an anomalous, and a very com plex department of administrative economy, which is to deal with two or three scores of millions of the capital of the country. If Sir ROBERT be so bent on Members enlightening and gratifying themselves by the perusal of all the coming reports of the Commis sion at Easter, with all the reasons for their secret decisions on the projects submitted to them—well and good. Let Members wait over Easter to get through them and the " hot-cross buns" of the sea son. But we trust that Parliament will require some much more solid arguments than any Sir R. PEEL has been able to adduce, ere it relax in its present evident disposition to subject the vicarious deputa tion of the Board of Trade, to a full, searching, and uncompromising examination, not only into the cha racter of its constitution and powers, but into the mode in which its business has been already con ducted ; the causes of past exposures of its secret consultations and decisions; and the guarantees pro posed, for preventing the recurrence of such clandes tine communications in future. The conversation which took place in the House of Commons on Tuesday evening, on the subject of the constitution of that most anomalous and very unsatis tory body—the Board of Trade Railways Committee —might well have been expected to determine in more important results than any it actually led to. Mr. GISBORNE'S objection to a resolution which, without previous recital or declaration of any kind, committed the House to a recognition of that Board's functions and mode of exercising them, was very well-timed. It was, as he observed, the first time in which the House had been brought into any discus sion on the reports of that Board. He obtained from Lord GRA.NVILLE SOMERSET a sort of assurance that all the reports of the Board would be on the table of the House before Easter, but the Noble Lord pet tishly remarked " that he was under no obligation to give Honourable Members an opportunity of expressing their opinions, generally, on the constitu tion of the Board." Perhaps not; but the announce ment that this porous Board (of the profound secresy of whose yet unpublished decisions we gave a rather notable example in an article of Dublin intelligence, a few days ago), that this Board will be prepared to give in all its reports on the two or three hundred railway projects which have been referred to them, within the next fortnight, would be quite sufficient to found a reasonable opinion of its real merits; did we know of no other grave presumptions against them in the recent statement promulgated by Mr. Commissioner O'BRIEN. Unless the Board at White hall have a. Great Western tender wherein to carry all their schemes and plans, and a Great Western monster-locomotive, moreover, to transport them with the maximum of attainable velocity over the railway of unobstructed official technicalities—we are satisfied that the task they have im posed upon themselves is utterly impracti cable within their own limits. It is one thing to digest—another thing to " get through"—a vast and overwhelming mass of business. We demur to the redemption of the Noble Lord's promise by this Com. inittee, as impracticable, humanly speaking; and w have yet to learn that angels sit at this Board, to effect that which is not possible by human means. There was much of sound sense and reason in what Mr. HA wEs said, as to the necessity of bringing spe cifically under the notice and deliberate discussion of the House the constitution of a body " which had great powers of deciding on vast masses of property, and, as now constituted, he did not think it stood on a satisfactory basis." A satisfactory basis ! No, in deed. How should it, under a constitution which affirms or rejects a given scheme by the votes of the Commissioners present at the settlement of the report ? Thus, as Mr. HAWES showed, it might happen that the President andVice-President of the Board of Trade, the ex officio members of this Board, after having voted against a scheme of railway in its progress through the Board's hands, might yet have at least by their vote, if not by speeches, to support in Parliament a report in its favour, they being responsible for that report. This is worse than a mockery; it amounts to a positive deception on the Legislature. " Then the decisions are secret," added Mr. HAWES, who was certainly justified in availing himself of this fea ture in the theory of the Board's construction, as if it was a practical fact, in order to give more cogency to his argument against the imperfections of this system of dispatching railroad Bill business. We, who take leave, with such evidence as the public has been scandalized by having brought under its own eyes, to deny altogether the practical fact; who assert that the decisions of the Board have been neither secret before promulgated, nor unanticipated with mi raculous precision before recorded, even—are content to rest our protest against the proceedings of the Board on the admissions of its advocates and defenders. We complain, first, that the decisions are announced at the Board, with closed doors; secondly, that the parties interested have no means, on the same account, of know ing whether the facts and arguments in which they have all along confidently reposed their case and ha zarded an outlay, more or less considerable, of their money, have been duly stated to, and fairly considered by the Board. In a turnpike-road, dock, or canal Bill, the parties for and against would have ample opportunity of being present at the whole evidence, argument thereon, and announcement of the finding of the Select Committee on their Bill. Why should the same privilege be denied to the parties to a rail way project? What are the superior pretensions of the Board of Trades' Deputies or Commissioners to those of a Select Committee of gentlemen representing various constituencies in or about the locality of the undertaking on the merits of which the House of Com mons desires them to report ? There can be but one solitary principle on which the Board of Trade Com mittee can have a primei facie preferable claim to confi dence. It may be that, a priori, it is to be assumed, they are less likely to be interested parties in such under takings than country gentlemen. But it would argue a degree of pastoral simplicity in those who can be credulous enough to take this lofty disinterestedness for a grave fact, after the wondrous specimens we have had of Stock-Exchange clairvoyance, whose faculty of preternatural perception has so often pene trated all the way from Bartholomew-lane, right through countless streets and lanes, and barriers of stone, brick, and mortar, into the penetralia of the Railway Committee's cabinet, so as to peruse reports in the very act, and even while awaiting the very act, of the Commissioners' subscription. Another head of constitutional objection to the components and organisation of this Board is—that-it is the most palpable anomaly which ever slipped down, unper ceived, the open throat of a dozing House Accounts from Madrid of the 26th ult. state that General ORIBE, who had been dismissed from the command of the Basque provinces for not putting ZURBANO'S son instantly to death, according to general orders, had been tried by a court-martial and honourably acquitted. The Cortes did not meet on the 26th. The following is the state of the Funds on that day : Three per Cents., 37i Cash, 341 for the Account ; Five per Cents., 25, at 60 days ; Coupons, 27, at 60 days; Passive, 7i, at 60 days. Exchange on London, 37g. The proposed conversion of the Five per Cent. Stock forms almost the only subject of discussion in the Paris papers. As might be expected, it excites much interest throughout France, for though expected and feared for some time, a gene ral belief prevailed that years would elapse before it could be carried into effect. Now, the conversion is regarded as cer • tain, if not this session at the very latest the next. The sen sation created had caused a great depression of that stock. But a few days ago it was quoted at 122 f., while on Tuesday it had fallen to 119 f. 20c.—a fall of nearly three per cent. The accounts from Zurich are to the 28th of February. On that day, the debate on the Jesuits was resumed ; and, after much discussion, a vote was taken on the main question, which was decided against the Jesuits. Ten cantons and two half cantons voted for the expulsion of that body, while eight cantons and two half cantons voted that the question should be left for the decision of each individual canton The principal speaker on the 28th was Colonel Luvisii,Deput; for the Italian canton of Tesino, who made an excellent speech, and was loudly cheered. He said, " The canton which h e represented was entirely Catholic, and that the Ca tholic religion was there the'religion of the State, hut that the canton had not hesitated to demand the expulsion of the Je suits. The people of his canton," he added, " did not regard the question of the Jesuits as a religious one. On the contrary, they felt that the Jesuits had more than once compromised the Catholic religion by their absurd doctrines, and had excited dangerous dissensions. This was so true, that a chief of the Catholic Church had, by a remarkable bull, suppressed the order, and proclaimed to the world that he did so entirely in the interest of religion. He might be told, perhaps, that if one Pope had suppressed the order, another had restored it, but it should not be forgotten that when-Pius VII. did this, he was more than eighty years old, and in a debilitated state of mind, from physical sufferinglas well as age. The question was strictly a political one. The Society of Jesus, already power ful by the means that it 'possessed, and its extensive rela tions, making war upon 'liberal institutions, whether mo narchical or republican, and already having a footing in several parts of the territory of Switzerland, was desirous of covering the whole of the cantons with its occult in fluence. The Jesuits were the declared enemies of civil liberty, of the liberty of the press, and of the education of the people at large, under the surveillance of the civil authorities. They sought, by extending more and more their dangerous power, to stifle the liberty which had been acquired by the regenerated cantons. They were, in fact, the most powerful auxiliaries of despotism, and, therefore, the people of Switzerland had reason to fear them, and to demand their expulsion from a country which was the centre of a wise progressive liberty. The Jesuits had been'invited to Lucerne and if the way were deluged with blood and covered with with dead—if the cries of desolation pursued them in their course, still would they persevere, unless checked by the strong hand of power. It had been said, indeed, that the numbers of these bons peres summoned to Lucerne was only seven. But the Diet should not forget that when LoYor s. founded the order, he had at first only twelve disciples. Fifty-eight years afterwards the number of Jesuits exceeded 10,000, and at the end of a century 19,000. They had 300 residences and 600 colleges; they had invested Europe, and had obtained a footing in the new world. This was history, and it should serve as a warning. If the Jesuits were allowed to get into Lucerne, they would not stop at that point." Three other deputies spoke on the same side. They were replied to by the deputy of the Valais, who addressed the following menace to the cantons which call for the expulsion of the Jesuits :—" Only come to the Valais," said he, " and we will receive you in arms. You wish to raise the Govern ments which are compromised, and you find no better means than wishing to impose your will upon populations who know how to resist you." After this speech the sitting was adjourned. A correspondent of the Commerce announces as follows the result of the subsequent sittings— " We have this instant received the news of the vote of the Helvetic Diet on the Jesuit question. Ten cantons and two half cantons were of opinion that this question should becomo federal, and that the Diet should pronounce the ex pulsion of the order, not only from Lucerne, but from the whole of Switzerland. Eight cantons and two half cantons voted in favour of the question remaining eantonal. Two can. tons, St. Gall and Geneva, gave it as their opinion that the cantons which had admitted the Jesuits should be recommended to send them away, but they refused to come to a definitive reso. lution on the question of declaring if the Diet ought itself to order their expulsion. It is evident from what precedes that the cantons which desire to kelp the Jesuits have not the majority, and that they cannot hope to obtain it; for even if St. Gall and Geneva should at last incline to that side, an equality of votes only could be the result. It is probable, on the contrary, that the cantons Mr. F. BARING condemned the financial policy of the Government which had rendered the continuance of the - income-tax necessary. He did not see how they could do without it, unless they imposed two mil lions of additional taxation, and that was his only excuse for voting for its continuance ; but he had a decided objection to the income-tax being made a part of the permanent taxation of the country, but THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH ? 3, 1845 which desire to see the Jesuits expelled by the Diet, will in the end gain the advantage. The public mind is so violently agitated at present in Switzerland, and particularly in the cantons of St. Gall and Geneva, that it is difficult to imagine that the Grand Councils of these cantons, which have given the instructions that have been just followed, shall not soon find themselves forced to act. But it will be sufficient for one of these states to join those desirous of the general expulsion of the order to give the latter the majority in the Diet.'' Great excitement prevailed in the Stock market at Paris on Tuesday, and a large amount of business was done in the Five per Cents. The mania for speculation in railway shares is still on the increase. The Five per Cents. closed at 119 f. 20c. ; the Four per Cents. at 108 f. 50c. ; and the Threes at 85f. ; New Loan, 86f. ; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,290 f. ; Rouen, 1,162 f. 50c. ; Havre, 975 f. ; Spanish Active, 35 ; Threes, 40% ; Belgian Five per Cents., 104%. THIS \DAY'S NEWS. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House sat to-day to hear Scotch appeals. The Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell. Lord Campbell presided. TILE EARL OF STIRLING V. THE OFFICERS OF STATE OF SCOTLAND This appeal stood on the paper for hearing, but upon its being called on, In consequence of soma informality, the case was again referred to the Appeal Committee. MACKINTOSH V. GORDON. This case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Session. The question in this case 'was as to the effect of a bond executed by Alexander, the last but one Duke of Gordon, on the marriage of his natural daughter to Mr. Mackintosh, by which he settled upon her the sum of 5,0001. The question in the case was whether by that bond the daughter took the sum absolutely, or only a life interest in it. The Court of Session decided that she took a life interest only, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. The arguments on the part of the appellant occupied their Lord ships the whole morning. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn-hall to-day, and heard appeal notices. Ilia Lordship was occupied the whole morning with a part-heard motion, which contained no points of interest, except to the parties concerned. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England took pleas and demurrers to-day. Ells Honour, in consequence of the extreme cold, sat in a private room. The Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce was occupied the whole morn ing with the part-heard case of " Cioodson v. Ellison." SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BvRcILELL.) BOTEE V. DE BOINVILLE. The parties to this action arc both Frenchmen. The plaintiff, who is a shoemaker, and resided at 126, Strand, the premises lately burned down, sought to recover 141. for goods delivered to the defendant, M. De Boinvilia, at various times between April and December in 1844. In defence a set-off was urgod, amounting to nearly 401., for services which it was alleged the defendant had performed for the plaintiff in negotiating loans of money and other matters of business which the latter was incompetent to, fl'om his inability to speak English. There was, however, no satisfactory evidence adduced to support the set-off, and the plaintiff's claim bein r proved, with the exception of one item, which was doubtful, a verdict was given for 121. 188. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) THE BETHNAL-GREEN MURDER. James Tapping, aged 25, tallow-chandler, was indicted for the wil ful murder of Emma Whiter, by shooting her in the neck with a pistol, on the night of the 27th of January last. The prisoner, when I laced in the dock, exhibited much liminess. He is a short stout young man, with a rather unmeaning face, and certainly has nothing in his features to exhibit deep-seated passions of any kind. Mr. Doane attended to prosecute, and Mr. Clarkson was engaged for the defence. _ . _ Avanchc,who lives in Waterloo-town, Bethnal-green-road, said that between twenty minutes and a quarter to one o'clock on the morning of the 27th of January, his attention was directed to something smouldering on the ground. He saw that it was a bonnet and ribbon, and, on looking about, discovered the girl lying in the street with her face downwards. She was not dead, for he found some sensation in her pulse. She was conveyed to the London Hospital. John Itarvey and Edward Backhouse gave similar evidence, and said that a pool of blood was discovered on the spot where she had lain. _ . . Win. Whiter—l live at 10:5, Brick-lane, and lam brother to the de ceased. I did not know that the prisoner and my sister kept com pany. I never saw them together. I recollect the night of the 27th of January; my sister came into my house about a quarter before ten o'clock that night; the prisoner camein a few minutes afterwards. I took her into the parlour. The prisoner went into the tap-room. During the time they remained they did not speak to each other. My sister went away at twelve o'clock. The prisoner met her at the door, and they went away together. By Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—They appeared to go away ,on good terms, and shook hands with me before they left. William Slater, a weaver, stated that he lived at 10. 4, South Conduit-street, Bethnal-green-road. I know the prisoner, and I also knew Emma Whiter. Whilst I was standing at my father's door, about half-past twelve o'clock on the night of the 27th of January, I saw the prisoner and the deceased pass, and go towards King-street. He had his arm round her neck. I then went up stairs to bed. About six or seven minutes after I heard the report of fire-arms ; the sound came from the back of our residence. I looked out of both the back and front windows, but I saw nothing. The spot where the deceased was found is about thirty-five yards from my residence. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—I have known the prisoner for some time. He has several brothers and sisters—how many I cannot say. I do not know that he has been very kind and considerate to his brothers and sisters, as I was not sufficiently intimate with him to know. I have been in his company many times, and I always found him a well-conducted and kind-hearted young man. By a juryman —I heard the report of fire-arms about six or seven minutes after they passed the door at which I was standing. Richard Bunn, a weaving machine-maker—l was in a public-house called the " Rising Sun," in Sail-street, Waterloo-town, between one and two o'clock on Tuesday morning, and the house is within a quarter of a mile from the place where the deceased was found. The prisoner's brother was there ; there were about twelve there al together. The prisoner came in about one o'clock. He appeared in a very deranged state. He sat down on the corner of the table, and spoke to his brother. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON--He trembled, and appeared very strange in his behaviour. He appeared to be in a state of vio lent excitement, and seemed confused. He was not collected. Examination continued—A person named Capes was there. The prisoner said, " The deed is done, and cannot be undone." His brother did not do anything. I said, " Jem, what is the matter with you ?" His reply was, " What's the matter, indeed ? " The sun shines bright, And the moon shinesclear." I said, " Will you go with me ?" He said, " Yee, I will go with you anywhere, as you never led me into any harm." He said, " You go up the court, and I will meet you at the other end." I heard the prisoner say to Capes, " Capes, I want no more to say to you, for you have been the cause of this destruction." I went round the court and joined again with the prisoner. I asked him to go home with etc to have supper, but he declined. He said, " Why should Igo to supper with you ? Go in doors, and I'll go and see how the young children are," meaning his brothers and sisters. I went with him, He sat down on a chair behind the door and placed his hands on the back of another chair, his head resting on them. I then left him. It was past two o'clock when I left Tapping. I then went to deceased's father's house. When I went back to prisoner's house I heard tho father of deceased ask Tapping, "Where is my daughter ?" He answered, " Yes, I have been with your daughter all the evening at your son's." By Mr. Justice WlLLtiats—The prisoner appeared to be sober. He said he had only two glasses of brandy the whole of the night. Thomas Whiter—l live at No. 20, North Conduit-street, Bethnal green-road. lam father of the deceased. On the morning of the 28th of January I went to prisoner's house, and found Win sitting on a chair with his head resting on his hands. He was rather paler than usual. I asked him if he had seen my daughter? Ile said, " No, not this night, nor yet the night before " I asked him if he had heard anything of her? He then said they both had been toge ther that evening at her brother's. He said he had left her well and hearty at a quarter-past twelve o'clock at the corner of Mape-street. Then I left. Police-constable Johnson, 206 K—On the night of the 27th of January I went with the last witness to Tapping's house, and in answer to a question from the father, the prisoner said lie had left. the deceased in the Bethnal-green-road. Examined the room, and found a pistol. _ . William Crispin—On the morning of the 28th of January I was in the parlour of the Rising Sun, when the prisoner came in, and I ob served that his hand was bleeding'. On my observing it to him, he said he had cut his finger. After some time, he said the deed was done, and could not be undone, and it would be a mystery to all. The brother Henry said, " strike me dead, you have shot your woman !" I then left and went home. . _ Thomas Perkins, gunmaker—The prisoner brought me a Pistol on Saturday, the 20th of January, to get the tap repaired. I did so, and took it to the Rising Sun, where I gave It to the prisoner. Saw him on the following Sunday to further repair the pistol. Did so, and gave it to him. Thomas ,Capes, of Bethnal-green Knew that the prisoner was paying his addresses to the deceased. On the night of the 27th the prisoner and deceased wore at the bar of the Rising Sun. The prisoner paid some attention to two young girls thjre, which excited the anger of the deceased, whe struck one of them. Prisoner interfered and separated them. They then re turned to the dance, and continued there till twenty minutes to one o'clock. I went with the deceased to Lower Conduit-street, as she said she was frightened of the girls with whom she had quarrelled. We stood standing at Conduit-street, waiting for the prisoner's coming up ; he came up, and struck her with his right hand in the face. He gave no reason for it. I told him not to strike her. He struck her again, I returned for her bonnet, as they appeared to have made it np, and were again friendly. I was never in the company of the de ceased, except at the ball. Sergeant Shaw stated that he first saw the prisoner about half-past three o'clock, at the station, on the morning of the murder. Ho noticed a slight wound between the finger and thumb of his right hand. There was another wound on the fore-finger of his right hand, on which there was a piece of plaister, but it seemed to he an 'old wound. The other was a fresh wound, and seemed to have bled a little. (The witness produced the pistol and two bullets ; it was a pocket one, and about four inches long.) The wound on the prisoner's hand was one that might have been caused by the recoil of the pistol. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—Asked the prisoner if he had been in company with the deceased the night before. Ile said he had been with her at her brother's. He also said he was an innocent man, and that he had kept company with her for two years. Asketl him about a spot of blood ou his apron. He said he did not know that it was there, and said " I suppose it must have come from my hand," meaning the old wound. It was then I noticed the slight wound between the finger and thumb. Before he made these state ments I had cautioned him. Mr. William Cummings, a surgeon at the London Hospital, said— Soon after one o'clock, on Tuesday morning, the 28th of January, the deceased was brought into the hospital—she was quite dead. There was a black patch on the left side of her neck. It appeared to have been caused by a pistol-shot.—(The witness then rhowed the position of the wound, by placing his hand on his neck.) There was a great deal of blood on her clothes. Her hands were slightly smeared, as if they had been touched with bloody fingers. I afterwards made a post mortem examination, and found a wound in this black patch, which proceeded upwards to the top of the spine. I extracted two bullets and some wadding, and have no doubt that they were the cause of her death. These are the bullets. The deceased's father was re-called, and said that he had seen the body of the deceased, and that it was the body of his (laughter. Mr. CLARKSON then addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Baron PARKS afterwards summed up, and recapitulated the evidence already given by the different witnesses. The jury having consulted for two or three minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned Judges having put on their black caps, the prisoner.ash thenowoffcomenli ei offended a bar, proceeded reijvaem e t t o sh passTo aTapping, n t c sentence teh ew o uh i n me t to of which you have been most justly convicted. The jury after a calm j sw u ah s ilid t e l —nr ce P7 o osr f uoonne } a ' rr o rA u ae r rt country requires for the dreadild crime consideration of the evidence adduced before them, have come to the conclusion that you are guilty of the crime laid to your charge, and I think no ono in this assembly who has heard the evi dence, can entertain the slightest doubt that you committed the enormous crime of taking the life of a fellow-creature in a moment of unsuspecting confidence on her part. You took away her life without giving her time for reflection—without giving an in stant for repentance. What could have driven you to commit a crime like this ? A feeling of jealousy was no doubt at the bottom of it. It is now my duty to pass the sentence of the law upon you, a sen tence which will unquestionably be carried into effect, for I cannot hold out to you the slightest hope of mercy on this side of the grave. Before that sentence, however, be car ried into effect, that time will be left you which you did not allow to your unfortunate victim ; and I trust that reflection will bring to you sincere repentance for the sins you have committed. You will be assisted by the chaplain of the gaol in your devotions, and I most earnestly implore you to devote every moment of the brief period you have to live in preparing yourself for the great change thatawaits you ; and your fate will, I trust, be a warning to others, not to give way to violent passions. All that now remains for me to do is to pass upon you the sentence of the law for the crime you have committed—that for this crime you be taken from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence to the place of execution, there to be hanged by the neck till you are dead, your body then to be taken down and to be buried within the precincts of the gaol : and may God have mercy upon your soul. (The Learned Judge, while delivering the sentence, was so deeply affected, that at times he was quite inaudible.) The prisoner who, during his Lordship's feeling address, had lis tened with the most earnest attention, at the conclusion bowed pro foundly, and was then led from the bar. NEW COURT. The Court was occupied during the morning in trying petty cases of no interest. The Countess of Aylesford died on Sunday last at Packington Hall, the family seat in Warwickshire, after a short illness. The deceared Countess was fourth daughter of George, late Earl of Warwick, and was married to the Earl of Aylesford, April 23, 1821. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.' CITY, QUARTEI? TO THREE.

The political advises show still that our military prowess, on a small scale, is likely to be in con stant requisition. he mercantile markets were not gene rally good for British fabrics. There has this week been the largest sale of Assam Tea ever offered. It comprised 1,233 chests, imported by the Assam Company from their own estates, and 64 chests on private account. The Assam Company have received most favourable accounts from their plantations, and some indi viduals have associated themselves here under the name of the Assam Company, to see this description of tea fairly brought before the public in its genuine state. The large amount of British capital staked in the experiment renders it a matter of considerable inte rest; and it is satisfactory to learn that the quality is de cidedly improving, and that the fine class Black descriptions excited much competitiou, realising very full prices, say 2s. to 3s. 10d. per lb.

SOMERSET said he understood the g en. else' s ber for Sussex wished to amend or substitute anothertoes for the one which had just been put. The Hon.

Still he must admit, if they struck this 0 1 0 10 altogether, and substituted none other for it, great d e r, ell° would arise. They would have one Committee t g y ro' view of the case, and another restoring the clause itl,tbird' sent objectionable form, and thus in many instances tto;0001, ship he complained of would be continued. g e nre deci d : then, some special clause ought to be 1 but ore more modified than that which t at lir sent Bill contained. The next difficulty t befor e been suggested to him was that the Bill had bersibeeo the public for some time, and all the railway Actil,eyer,tb_e prepared in accordance with its provisoes. g 11 " t he r clause were to be so modified as to meet his views, „gee"! moters of these railway schemes would be put to the, itie liO and trouble of serving an immense number of au,`c,oar, notices. Well, but why could not the enginee r state! %1 mittee how much land he would require for the 1 1 . 1 . 1 1 1 50 . 0 his line ? If he were to do this, the difficulty 'O w e , ea; rid of; and then, with respect to future railways,th they now frame and pass a special clause.—(Hear, hear.)in° be bt exceedingly obliged to his Noble Friend f o r the co feer taken, in postponing this clause, and he trusted et!,',..eseg occasion they would be able, in some way or ot her, t these evils, which, he must confess, from what W 3,13110044 had not been exaggerated, but on the contrary , me the facts had been rather understated. , „ 4 , Mr. HENLEY conceived that the House should i tlif o l:f question in this way. There were now 240 Bills f or_ t els l before it, and would it run the risk of now making.o faulty legislation, which might involve very of tions as regarded property, merely for the sake co ld those 240 Bills ? hera Colonel SIBTHOKP hoped that Hon.

For his 0 7 5 10 would have no hesitation in saying that the clatise.ro stood would never give satisfaction to the landowiriliegit country, for this reason—that it, in fact, meant'', t e ' ry Wi t nor less than the absolute total annihilation ef in the country for the benefit of a few a pe u ore: should like to know from the Noble Lord (LordcGe•ivlibcWweirS;:t whether he had considered this clause with A ' ed further modification. Mr. T.

In the present insrroiag o e ever, that difficulty could be removed, by 1 3 ' 5 " . 10 b e 0 clause until after the recess; and that interval co er o, to ployed by the engineer in endeavouring to t 1 . 0 to minutely as possible, the quantity of land he won t vipb take up at either side. Another point to which 1210.r0t,, call attention was, the absolute necessity t here aPP7iii Off.; for the introduction of some general clause upon t4le in order to remove the difficulty that Comm The counter in a special clause in each separate Bill' 011 1 70 Lord (Lord G.

For, after all, what 0 11 1' bargain between the engineer and the owner of or gtor the purchase and sale of a certain quantity oftligte —(Hear, hear.) Again, he would say, lirai I_, iv as much as possible, even to one hundred yar ix ds '„ -- 9 ,3 1 7",„ Mr. DARBY did not quite concur with the -"' e f de o f views ; for if the House were to reduce the limit et A to one hundred yards, it would, in his opinientil:e dop e ' railways altogether.
