Lord MONTEAGLE asked the Earl of DEVON when the public would be put in possession of the results of the Landlord and Tenant Commission in Ireland ? The Noble Earl said he had been prevented from returning to Ireland as he had intended, by a subpoena from the Nourt of Queen's Bench, but in the mean time the Commission was carrying on the inquiry. Ile was afraid he should not be able to resume his duties in the Commission till the trial on which he had been subpoenaed was concluded. Lord BROUGHAM moved for copies of the corre spondence which had taken place between the English missionaries in the South Sea Islands and the Go ment, relative to the affairs of Otaheite. The Earl of ABERDEEN had no objection to pro duce the papers, and at the same time assured Lord BROEGUAM that he need be under no apprehension as to the manner in which the missionaries would be treated by the French authorities. He thought it right to state also that the resolution come to by the French Government, disowning the act of Admiral DIIPETIT THOUARS, was purely spontaneous, and that not one word of remonstrance had, either by the British Ambassador, or by official communication, been made to France on the subject. The war parties in both countries were making much noise about this affair, but fortunately they were little regarded. Lord BROUGHAM expressed his satisfaction at the answer given by Lord ABERDEEN, and the returns were ordered. The Marquis of NORMANDY gave notice that on Mmtday next he would present a petition complaining of the conduct of the Board of Charitable Bequests in Ireland. Lord BiononAist also gave notice-that on the same day he would call the attention of the House to the progress of the new Houses of Parliament. In the COmmons, the Salisbury Branch Railway Bill, the York and Scarborough Railway Bill, e n d the Severn Navigation Bill, were read a second time and ordered to be committed. • Mr. GLADSTONE brought up the Report of the Select Committee on Railways. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, in an excellent speech, moved for a return of the money paid to reporters employed to take notes at the meetings for a repeal of the union. He described the three principal witnesses—Mr. HUGHES, Mr. Ross, and Mr. JACKSON, and implied that they had been suborned by the Government as spies. He, however, made an exception as to the part which these reporters took in the affair, and exculpated Mr. HUGHES and Mr. JACKSON, and threw the whole blame on the Government. Sir JAMES GRAHAM made a very lame defence. He took the whole responsibility on himself. H e employed all the parties, and also admitted that a communication had been made by the Government, that is by himself, to the Herald and Standard for a loan of their reporters ; but the main points of Mr. DUNCOMBE'S speech he could not answer, and though he had no objection to furnish a return of all tha money paid, the motion strangely was lost on a division, there being for it 73, and against it 144. The discussion did not place the mode in which the Irish trials had been conducted in a more favourable light, nor raise the character of the Home Secretary. ' Mr. Ross, or as Mr. DUNCOMBE called him the " Carlisle patriot," had stated that he was employed by a person high in office, but he was prevented by the Counsel for the Crown from saying who that person was. Sir J. GRAHAM supplied the deficiency, and announced that he was the "person high in office " alluded to. Lord JOHN RUSSELL made a brief speech on the occasion. The conclusi n was admirable: and told with great effect. Every discus sion that takes place on these Irish trials only tends to confirm the public mind in the belief that the tra versers were not justly tried. "I will state my be lief," said his Lordship, "that if the same offence had been committed in this country, supposing the Attorney-General for Englan d had pursued a somewhat similar course, we should have had a different charge from the Judge, and a different verdict from the jury. That is my opinion ; and be the persons who they may, I never will cease from endeavouring to obtain for the people of Ireland the full enjoyment of all those rights and privileges, of the possession of which the. people of England are so justly proud." These generous sen timents were responded to by loud cheers. On the order of the day for going into Committee of Supply, Mr. S. CRAWFORD renewed his motion for redressing grievances before granting supplies. Mr. BLBWITT seconded the motion; and on a division there were for the motion, 15 ; and against it, 95. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. Sir C. NAPIER complained of the thinness of the House, when millions was voted away, and also blamed the reporters for shutting their books ; but on this occasion he had no reason to complain, for they reported his speech fully, and, though their books were closed, we have no doubt the Gallant Commodore's remarks about the navy were faithfully given. Some other speeches were made, and several large grants voted, and the House resumed. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House, at One o'Clock, adjourned till Monday. We are of that old-fashioned school of Englishmen who look to our navy with feelings of unbounded confidence, affection, and pride. It is a service the most native and proper to our people. It is con nected with their hereditary habits as an insular nation, and endeared to all classes by the prejudices of those habits. Then—there are the associations of three centuries of triumphs and supremacy upon the boundless waters, " whereon it moves, and lives, and hath its being," which consecrate its position in the popular esteem. Pre-eminent alike in maritime dis covery and in naval warfare, it has spread the renown of our country to the most distant regions that sur round the poles, or lie " beneath the line ; " and it has vindicated the honour, asserted the rights, and extended the dominion and in fluence of our flag against all opponents, in every climate, and upon every sea. Against the confederacy of all the nations of continental Europe it has defended our own empire, and vanquished, and dictated its own terms to, those who would have challenged :our political existence as an indepT ndent State. But its sphere of real glory, its career of beneficent utility, have been only enlarged and dig nified in seasons of peace. Far from relapsing into a condition of indolent disorganisation, this noble force have long been accustomed to keep up their practical discipline, and discharge the duties they owe to the State which maintains them, by protecting our wide-spread commerce in the ports of every country to which it extends. During the last century it has not only revived the spirit of geographical and mercantile enterprise, which prompted our CABOTS and our DRAKES to "put a girdle round the world ;" not only taken and maintained the lead in all those immense acquisitions, which have increased and en riched our knowledge of the globe ;—but it has achieved a reputation, through the abilities of its offi cers, for patient research, laborious accuracy, perse vering intrepidity—for sagacity and truth, in all the higher branches of astronomical observation and of philosophic experiments for determining problems the most important to navigation,—which have ever been unrivalled in the history of science. Whatever, therefore, regards the present condition and the per manent welfare of this fine service, should always command the profound attention of every English man who feels an interest in the glory of his native land. For ourselves, it is long since we have expe rienced these sentiments more powerfully than on a perusal of the debate, in the House of Commons last night, on the " Navy Estimates." . We can scarcely hope to touch, within our limits to-day, the various important topics' which presented themselves for discussion on this occa sion. But it is only fair to remark, in general terms, that they involved matters of the most vital importance to the material strength of our navy; to the efficiency of the service, especially in the su perior classes of its officers ; to the further im mediate extension and improvement of that most essential and decisive arm of modern naval warfare, aimed steam-ships, with a view to the preservation of our present preponderating strength in this de partment (and which can only be preserved, by adopting the course so powerfully insisted on by the gallant officers who successively addressed the House on these points) ; to the evils of favouritism in the patronage of the Admi ralty,—most especially perhaps in the department of naval architecture ; and to the necessity of both the professional and the civil heads of that Admiralty dismissing obsolete prepossessions and prejudices, in favour of inventions, discoveries, and principles tested by the most carefully conducted experiments, and by practical results the best authenticated and the most conclusive. It is gratifying to remark that Conservative Members of the profession joined heartily with Whig and Radical brother officers, in the valuable admonitions which they tendered to the Government authorities on these all-important subjects. The tone of personal independence which they took was well contrasted and dignified by the professional solicitude they manifested for the well-being of the service to which they belonged. Whilst we pay this just tribute to the speeches of Sir CHARLES NArmit and Captain Rous, Captain PECHELL and Sir GEORGE COCKBURN, we must ex press our regret that the latter (for whose first-rate seamanship and distinguished professional career we entertain the most unaffected respect), should have evinced a little of that impatience under contradiction and the statement of opposing opinions, which went so far to justify the objection powerfully urged by Captain Rous to the impolicy of retaining in active employ ments and commands, those; whom age or infirmity ought to have retired, in order to be replaced by men less advanced in years, and whose greater energy and physical vigour must be so much better suited to the demands and exigencies of the service. The Right Hon. and Gallant Gentleman's answer to Captain PECHELL will not satisfy any man that her MAJESTY'S naval force, off the coast of Ireland, has not been oc casionally called upon to aid, directly or indirectly, in the collection of poor-rates and other such services, at once distasteful to and incompatible with the true duties of the navy. Captain PECHELL did good service in calling attention to the, gross neglect of the Admi ralty, in so long delaying the adoption of certain in dispensable improvements in the build and equipment of our war-steamers. He instanced their tardiness in fitting their vessels with that invaluable and mar vellous application projected by Mr. SMITH, and pressed upon the Board unceasingly during the last year or two, of the Archimedian screw-pro peller. The French war-steamer which accom panied her MAJESTY part of the way from Treport, and afterwards, if we remember, visited PortSmouth with the French Princes, is a per fect model of a steamer on this.prbaciple ; in the use of which, greater security and effectiveness are neces sarily attained with greater symmetry, fr om th e absence of the unsightly and cumbrous paddle-boxes on the sides and waist of the craft—offering, at onee, the fairest mark for the enemy's guns And th e most certain means of her own instant and irretrievable crippling. What was the answer of Sir G. COCK BURN to the case of immediate necessity so irresis tibly put to him,—on the fair assumption, always ad missible in argument though to be deplored indeed, were it truly in anticipation,—of hostilities between France and England? This:— " They had now several engineers engaged in testing the results of different experiments, and he had no doubt but that before many years elapsed we should have adopted a principle so much improved as entirely to defeat the rivalry of foreign nations." " Before many years have elapsed"—alas ! the ques tion of the wisdom or the folly of our steamers being Now prepared and fitted, or not, with these screws may have been already decided. We must resume on an early day, our notice of the remaining passages in the debate. The only intelligence in the Madrid journals, of the 23d ult., is a decree published by the FinanCe ter, relative to the tobacco duties. According to this, vast reforms are to take place, and the interest on the Three per Cents. is to be faithfully paid. The plan is to lease the duties to a company of capitalists, on certain conditions, among which are the following : The contract shall endure for ten years, reckoning from the Ist of May, 1844. The contractors shall pay 75,000,000 reals (750,0001.) each year, into the Treasury, without any reduction, and the contractors shall advance to the Government 50,000,000 of reals billon, in gold or silver, or in bills on Paris and Lon don, or on the provinces, at the exchange of the day, in four equal payments, the first payment to be made on the day the contract is taken possession of. This advance of funds on the part of the enterprise will bear an interest of 6 per cent., payable half-yearly. The contractors will be repaid this advance of 50,000,000 (500,0001.) at the rate of 10,000,000 each year of the last five years of the duration of the contract. All this promises fair ; but, nevertheless, we say to English contractors, leave all the advan tages of the contract to the Spaniards themselves. We fear it is only another scheme to raise the wind, and rob those who will be mad enough . to trust to Spanish honour. The Three per Cents. were quoted at 30 7-16 at sixty days, and Fives at 23. The affair of Otaheite still occupies public atten tion at Paris, but it is to be hoped that the explana tions given by Ministers in the Chamber on Tuesday will set it at rest. The conduct of Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, on the showing of the Minister of Marine, rwas both unjustifiable and ridiculous. No resistance, said M. GUIZOT, had been made against the French authorities, either by the QUEEN or the English, and there was nothing whatever to justify the conduct of the Admiral. He indignantly repelled the charge that the Government had acted in this affair in con sequence of any communication from the English Cabinet, and declared that the resolution which had been adopted by the KING in Council was a sponta neous and independent act. A brief report of the speeches will be found under the proper head. The KING returned to Paris from Eu on Wednesday forenoon. The funds on Thursday closed at the price of the preceding day.

The discussion in the FrenciielTami.er on the proceedings of Admiral Dupetit Thouars at Otaheite commenced on Thursday, and had not closed at the hour of post. Should a division take place, Ministers, it was anticipated, would have a considerable majority. On Tuesday the King, after having visited the church at Eu, went to the wood de la Poterie. His Majesty was ac companied by the Prefect and Engineer of the department, General d'Audenarde, the Mayor of Eu, Col. de Chabanne, and Count de Strada. The King afterwards went to the farm on the Treport road. In the evening there was a grand dinner at the Chateau, at which all the civil and military authorities were present. At seven o'clock his Majesty set out on his return to Paris, and at eleven o'clock on 'Wednes day arrived at the Tuileries. Lady Cowley commenced her second series of routs on Wednesday evening by a most numerous and brilliant assem blage. The elite of English society, residents or visitors in Paris, were present on the occasion, and also a great number of the French nobility. Among the brilliant crowd was the newly arrived Turkish Ambassador, Rescind Pacha, who was an object of general interest. " Letters from Beyrout," says the Presse, "received by ex press, bring the following important intelligence :—Mount Lebanus is in insurrection. Twelve thousand Maronites are under arms, and have named for their chief Francis Cozeno. Two Druse chiefs, who were as hostages at Beyrout, escaped during the night, and returned to the mountain to make common cause with the Maronites. The inhabitants of the Lebanus had declared, that after having for a length of time demanded from the Porte that the exactions of the Turkish functionaries should be. put a stop to, they have no longer any hope but in arms." The Postampt Gazette of Frankfort gives the following, of the 20th ult., from Posen :—" Within the last few days, the Government has adopted measures which give rise to a belief that not only the Polish emigrants and Russo-Polish directors had entered into revolutionary conspiracies, but that they have been joined by young men belonging to the Grand Duchy. Domiciliary visits have been made at the houses of several young men of the city, and their papers seized and put under seal. Forbidden books have also been detected and secured. At the same time we have not learnt whether the Government have succeeded in acquiring the evidence sought for." Admiral Gall, one of the oldest admirals in the Russian navy, lately died at St. Petersburgh, at the age of 84. He was an Englishman by birth, and had been nearly 60 years in the Russian service. A letter from Zara (Dalmatia,) in the Journal de Frank fort, states that, on Feb. 9, near ten in the evening, a slight shock of an earthquake was felt in the neighbourhood, which lasted three or four seconds. The atmosphere was serene at the time. It is stated in a letter from Carleruhe, of the 22d, that the principal cemetery of that place has been recently the scene of repeated violations. More than forty graves have been opened, and all the gold and other valuable orna ments with which the bodies were interred stolen. As these atrocities were carried on with great caution on the part of the depredators, the crime would have remained unpunished if a young man had not been arrested in the act of offering for sale a silver handle of a coffin. This person instantly con fessed, and denounced his associates, not less than thirty of whom have since been apprehended. lakw - AND POLICE. At the Hertford Assizes the Rev. Mr. Brogden'was ac quitted on a charge of firing at and wounding a man named Cornelius Wintle, a constable, whom the rev. gentleman had mistaken for thief. The Assizes of the Northern Circuit commenced on Thurs day at Newcastle-on-Tyne. The business is not heavy, but in one case there are nine charges of rape against one man. Among the members of the Bar engaged on the Western Circuit, the assizes of which commenced at Winchester on Friday, there was a general feeling of regret at the arrival of the intelligence of the death of Mr. Sergeant Bompas, the; senior counsel on that Circuit, who expired on Thursday last. He was much respected by the profession.

Mr. O'Connell has just addiessedalater to the people of Ireland, denouncing in the strongest terms the incendiaries who have set fire to farming property in some places. lie again adverts to the manner in which he had been received by the English people. He says, "It have been received with kind and manly generosity by tens of thousands of the English. The Irish people themselves could not receive me with more of the noblest sentiments of sympathy and good feeling. I cannot express the extent of my gratitude, nor ought the Irish people ever to forget that sympathy which is not created or limited by kindness towards an individual, but whose basis is a fervent desire to have justice done to the Irish nation. I hope the people of Ireland will never forget these instances of generous kindliness." A meeting, of 8,000 i n di v id ua l s, was h e l d at Manchester heste ron consisting Thursday evening, the Mayor in the chair, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of presenting a memorial to her Majesty upon the present state of Ireland, consequent upon the Government prosecutions. Resolutions in accordance with the object of the meeting were adopted, and it was resolved that a memorial should be pre sented to the Queen, embodying the substance of the resoliz tions, to be signed by the Mayor, and also by the people of Manchester.

C. DICKENS, ESQ. (Boz), IN LIVERPOOL.—The annual Christmas soirée, at the Mechanics' Institution, having been postponed in order to suit the convenience of Charles Dickens, Esq., who had promised to preside on the occasion, the event, which was looked forward to by many with feel ings of anticipated delight, came off on Monday evening last. Long before the hour appointed for the opening of the doors, the street was crowded with persona anxious to obtain ad mission, and double rows of carriages, cars, and other vehicles, lined Mount-street, from Hope-street, to Rodney street. From the excellence of the arrangements, however, after the first rush was over, not the slightest inconvenience was experienced. Mr. Dickens had arrived in town during the day, accompanied byhis sister, Mrs. Burnett, of Manchester,Mr. Burnett, and another friend. He was supported on the right by Wm. Fawcett, Esq., President of the Institution, and Sir Arnold Knight, and on the left by W. B. Hodgson, Esq., the secretary, and John Smith, Esq., of the Liverpool Mercury.

CHANCERY,-(THIS DAY.) FOLEY V. HILL. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal occupied the Court the whole morning. The question in the case re lated to the conducting of a colliery in Staffordshire. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Sir C. WILLIAMS.) IN RE CHARLES MATHEWS. Mr. Charles Mathews, the celebrated comedian, came up this morning to undergo his second examination. Mr. JAMES appeared on behalf of Mr. Anderson, and in formed the Court that after the intimation thrown out by his Honour on a previous occasion, relative to the distribution of the bankrupt's;salary, he should not feel called upon to offer any further opposition to the passing of the bankrupt, it being, however, understood that his client was to be appomted one of the assignees. His Hoxoun thought that was the most prudent course the Learned Gentleman could adopt, under existing circum stances. The facts, when they first came out, certainly were startling, but the explanation of the bankrupt had cleared them up. With the powers and talents which Mr. Mathews possessed, he might, if he pursued a virtuous and proper path, ultimately attain an independence, and recover his lost reputation. It must, however, be constantly borne in mind by him, that, in the event of his again coming before that Court, it would no doubt be considered that it was through his own recklesness and impropriety of con duct ; and the Court would, in consequence, not be in , clined to treat him with so much lenity as it did then. Mr. Mathews warmly thanked the Court and Mr. Ander son for the kindness they had evinced towards him, and then retired, his third and last examination having been pre viously fixed for the 4th of April next. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) James Williams, a smartly-dressed youth, was charged be fore Mr. Cottingham with discharging a loaded pistol in the public highway. It appeared that on the preceding evening the prisoner was observed in the Kent-road to fire a pistol, and a policeman going up to him to know ;.the cause, lie refused to give him any satisfaction on the subject. When taken into custody there was found in his possession a gold chain, to which was appended a gold eye-glass ; and on being questioned he at first refused to give any account of himself or divulge wherehe lived. In the course of the morning, however, it was ascer tained that he resided with a Mrs. Ward, No. 5, Hanover ! street, Walworth, who attended the examination, and in re ply to the magistrate gave a very extraordinary account of the lad. She said that he was what is termed a " chance" child, and that his father allowed 30s. a week to him, and out of that he paid her for his board and lodging ; that her son had purchased the costly articles which he wore. This latter assertion, however, was contradicted by the prisoner, who said that he bought them, as well as the pistols, himself. In answer to further questions, Mrs. Ward said that:the youth amused himself by playing about the streets; that he was allowed to do as he liked ; and that, since he had been living _under her roof, he had never attended a place of wor ship. Altogether, the woman gave such a very mysterious account of the lad, and the manner in which he became pos sessed of the gold articles, that the Magistrate said it was evident lie was going headlong to destruction, and that he hoped, through the medium of the public press, the father would become acquainted with the manner in which his son was brought up. Mr. COinN6lfam added that he should detain the prisoner in custody until inquiries were made on the subject. PAHLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of FRIDAY, MARCH 1.

(From the Weekly Dispatch of this day.) LIVERPOOL, MARCH I.—The following letter, which has just conic to hand, from the River Plate, gives a graphic sketch of affairs at Monte Video. The respectability of the source from whence the communication is derived, is a guarantee for the correctness of the statements. The condi tion of the Monte Videans is, as regards provisions, it will be seen, somewhat critical ; but the contest between the rival Republics is, the writer thinks, drawing to a crisis : Nov. 22, 184.3.—We have now been upwards of nine months besieged, and, although I cannot say that the war is yet over, I am happy in finding there is some appearance of its being so, as we cannot hold out more than a month longer, because the Government have not the means of paying for the supplies of provisions requisite for the garrison of the city, which amounts to about 3,000 dollars daily. They have long since sold all theduties and Government property, and the foreign mer chants have advanced upwards of 1,000,000 dollars to carry on the war ; Government have besides to find rations for about 8,000 poor people, now living in the city on account of the block ade ; these rations are now reduced one-half. There is a great amount of suffering and misery in the city, and it must in crease daily until the war is at an end ; even then how many must be deprived of fathers, husbands, and brothers ! It is now a fortnight since we had news from Rivera, dated the 18th of October, in which he states that he is coming to relieve the capital, and has a very strong army. Urquiza, the chief of the enemy's cavalry, with all his force, were re treating before Rivera, whom we expect near here every day He is coming to give battle to Blancoes, that he may get assistance from the infantry. It is said that Rivera must have at present an army of 10,000 or 12,000 men • surely with that army he can beat Oribe L and then.zwe shral be all right again. We have had a great many skirmishes lately, and numbers of our men have been wounded. We have four hospitals for the wounded, and they get very well attended to. The principal one has received about 1,300 wounded men since the Ist of July. Nine P.M., there are just gone to the mole, to be embarked, 2,000 infantry, and 200 cavalry, with some cannon—it is supposed for the Mount. If so, we may probably see a fight to-morrow, or it may be they go to Santa Lucia, to join with Rivera. A battle must take place, and I expect it will be in the sight of the city. We had a very hard fight last week. A Colonel Neira, with 25 men, went to attack an outpost of the enemy, when he was shot. As our people did not return with the body, 360 Italians, and 500 blacks went to regain it. They had to fight upwards of 2,000 Blancoes, and they suc ceeded, after a desperate struggle, in regaining the body. The Italians and blacks charged with the bayonets, and killed upwards of 100 men. We had seven killed and about fifty wounded. A melancholy occurrence took place the day our troops went out on this expedition. A lieutenant of cavalry and one man charged eight Blancoes. It was thought at the time that the officer had been killed, but from those who have come in since, it appears that the horse of the lieute nant was shot from under him, and he fell a prisoner to the Blancoes, who immediately cut off his head, which was found the next morning stuck on the iron rails fronting a dwelling house, with the ears cut off. How different was the treat ment given to the officer who fell into the hands of our men. He was, after a few days' imprisonment sent on board the English commodore's ship, in order to be given up to Admiral Brown, the commodore of the Buenos Ayrean navy. Nov. 24.—Our troops are still at the Mount. We have sent more to-day. I expect it is an expedition to obtain cattle. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. — This establishment is not likely to open before the 9th inst. Agents from the ma nagement have departed for . Paris on account of the a c ti on at law pending between the d i recteur of Les Italiens and For. nasari, who, unless the , matter is amicably arranged, will not be able to leave Paris as soon as his services will be re quired here. The rehearsals for the new ballet Esmeralda take place daily under the surveillance of Perrot z assisted by the indefatigable Nadaud. TosT-orrics AT A RAILWAY STATION.--The Post master-General has ordered a Post-office to be opened at Normanton Railway station, by which passengers will have an opportunity of receiving and forwarding letters at that important station. The Normanton station is at the junc tion of the Manchester and Leeds and York and North Mid land lines with the North Midland line, about three miles from Wakefield, and ninemiles from Leeds. The same should be done at other large stations. Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the -Colonial-office, for the Governors of the West India MAGAZINES-CONTINUED COLONIAL MAGAZINE. This is a carefully conducted periodical, and con tains a vast mass of useful colonial information, ga thered from a variety of sources. In the Number before us we find some entertaining recollections, ac companied by wood engravings, of "Algeria in the year 1843." JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE. A Journal, as may be surmised from its title, wholly of a practical character, and appealing for the most part to the tastes of agriculture. The informa tion it contains is various, and appears to be judi ciously condensed and well arranged. UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE. The two most entertaining articles in this Number are—first, an account of a " Five Days' Retreat of a Turkish Army," in which there are many stirring and even dramatic incidents ; and secondly, " Military Anecdotes and Sketches of Character." In this last article, Major Wilkie, the author, gives a brief and piquant sketch of the late Captain Dormer, who, ac cording to the Major's account, must have been one of the most inveterate gastronomists on record, " hav ing a pure love of the art, which, like other loves, be came a passion, and a reigning one." DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. There is here a very tedious essay on " Mesme rism," which, so far as we can see, comes to no defi- Rite conclusion, but leaves the subject in the same perplexed state in which it found it. In the article quaintly headed " Nuts and Nut-Crackers," we find some smart and pertinent references to the " Humane Society," who, it seems, take a world of trouble to save a man from drowning, but pay no attention to him, even though starving, until animation is sus pended. " Arrah Neil" is another of Mr. James's works of fiction ; it is agreeably written, but is not much elevated above common -place. ILLUMINATED MAGAZINE. We are glad to renew our acquaintance with the " Chronicles of Clovernook," which are here resumed, after having been discontinued for several months. The allegory—or alligator, as Mrs. Malaprop would call it—is a little too mystical in places, but a careful attention on the part of the reader will enable him to perceive its drift, and to appreciate the truly ca tholic spirit that pervades it. We have been struck with the following thought, which, if not absolutely new—as what thought is ?—is tersely and forcibly expressed:—" Happy is the man who can say, peace giving bed. For, oh, what a rack to the spirit of man may be found in goose-down ! You are in bed, peace-giving bed, you say ; it is deep night, and in that solemn pause you seem to feel the pulse —to hear the very heart of time. You try to think of many things, but the spirit or demon of the bed sets up yourself before yourself—brings up your doings to the bar of your own conscience ; and what a set of scurvy gaol-birds may be found among them! They peep in at your curtains, crowd in at the foot of your bed, and though you have no rushlight you see their leering, sneaking faces." " 'Winter the King, and Spring the Poet," is a translation from the Swedish of Vitalis. It is a very graceful lyric; the versification is uniformly harmonious in its cadence ; and the thoughts and images,'W which it is full, are developed with vigour and freedom. We hope to see more translations from the pen of the same author. Of the remaining articles the most in teresting is a tale entitled " The Monastery of Dove dale," which is embellished with a very choice engraving. RAILWAY BUSINESS IN PARLIA- MENT.

THE HOUSE OF SIR CHRISTOPHER WREN.—In Fri day-street, Cheapside, a short time ago, stood the house which was in the occupation of Sir Christopher Wren, the eminent architect, during the erection of St. Paul's Cathe dral, and which adjoined the church of St. Matthew, Friday street. In the course of pulling down the building, which was sold a few weeks ago, and which is now nearly levelled with the ground, several silver and copper coins were found in the joists of the flooring by some of the workmen. The silver coins were of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, some being in good preservation. The copper coins were of an earlier period. The foundation walls are of extraordinary thickness, a portion of which formed part of the Saracen's Head, which is also taken down. THE ORDNANCE ESTIMATES.—The estimates of the office of Ordnance.(including barracks, surveys of the United Kingdom, commissariat, and military and civil superannua tions) for the year 1844-45, have just been printed by order of the House of Commons. The total sum to be voted for the current year amounts to 1,840,0641., which is less by 9,0781. than the amount voted in the year 1843-44. There will be appropriated, for ordinary, 621,599/. ; for extra ordi naries, 1,020,991/. ; superannuated, 163,680/. ; and for commis , sariat supplies, 174,688/. ; making altogether an amount of 1,980,958/. As, however, sums to the amount of 140,8941. re main to the credit of the Ordnance-office, the estimates for the current year are of course reduced to 1,840,064/. WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—The second battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards, under the command of Colonel Berke ley Drummond, arrived at Windsor this morning, by rail way from Paddington to Slough, from St. George's Barracks, and relieved the third battalion of the Grenadier Guards, which proceeded to town by the Great Western Railway. During the whole of the period the Grenadier Guards were in garrison at Windsor, the conduct of the privates was of the-moat. orderly, peaceable,- and quit. description. THE STATE OF IRELAND—PROPOSED MEETING AT BIRMINGHAM.—We are glad to learn that the spirited in habitants of Birmingham intend to hold a public meeting in the Town-hall there on Wednesday next, on the present state of Ireland. The meeting has been called by the Mayor, on a requisition signed by twenty-eight town-councillors, and seven hundred burgesses and other inhabitants, subscribed in one day. Mr. O'Connell has accepted an invitation to attend. The Mayor will preside. SOCIETY OF ANCIENT BRITONS.—The 130th anni versary of the Society of Ancient Britons was celebrated yes terday, being St. David's day, at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street. The festival was well attended, and in justice to the proprietor of the tavern, it must be said that the preparations made for the guests and the whole arrangements were better than on many former celebrations. The chair was taken at half-past six o'clock by Sir J. Bean Walsh, Bart., M.P., supported by the Duke of Newcastle, Lord Powis, the Hon. Mr. Clive, the Hon. Mr. Trevor, Sir W. W. Wynn, Colonel Wood, M.P., Sergeant Atcherly, Mr. E. Williams, and many other gentlemen connected with the Principality. The company amounted to 150 persons. In the galleries was a brilliant assemblage of ladies, and the musical arrangements, under the direction of Mr. J. Parry, the bard of Wales, assisted by Messrs. Atkins, Young, Fitz william, and other vocalists, and by Mr. Richards, the pianist, and other professional gentlemen, were excellent in their kind. The usual loyal, national, and local toasts were drank with the usual honours, and a large amount of subscriptions for the support of the Welch School, making a sum total of nearly 1,0001. announced. Amongst the contributions were— Her Majesty, 105/. ; the Queen Dowager, 25/. ; the Duke of Newcastle, 50/. ; Lord Powis, 50/. ; Colonel Wood, 201., and many other noblemen; and gentlemen to large sums. The festivities were kept up in the good old style of ancient Britons till eleven o'clock, when the company separated, highly gratified with the events of the day. FIRE AT CHELSEA.—This morning, shortly before one o'clock, a fire, attended with a considerable loss of pro perty, broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. John Harris, known as the Coach and Horses, wine-vaults, situate at No. 4, Royal Hospital-row, Chelsea. Owing to the highly inflammable nature of the stock upon Mr. Harris's premises, the progress of the flames was very rapid, and in little more than a quarter of an hour from the first discovery, the pre mises were one complete blazing mass ; and notwithstanding that the firemen exerted themselves to the utmost,' they were unable to save either the building or its contents, an d by half-past two o'clock the whole was destroyed. The loss sustained is considerable, and it could not be ascertained, in the excitement which prevailed, whether the sufferer was insured. Several of the adjoining houses are damaged, espe cially those b e l o nging to Mr. Mayhead , greengrocer, No. 5, and Mr. Francis Fairhead, grocer, No. 3 . The precise cause 9f the outbreak could not be learned. MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL 10" gl CITY, QUARTER TO T---- a , t to .
