We have received many complaints from 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 halfpenny (the Post office fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition. nig 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 Qilicied Prises of Shares in Railways, d•e. 1 - c.—The Belting at Tattersall's on Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Fends — The Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the close—and all other news arriving in London after three o'clock: in the afternoon, when the Second or Evening Edition goes to press. In distant parts of the counry, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE HOURS IN ADVANCE, a matter of importance to Arose who want early inteXigence. In those places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night, the "MORNING SOW," containing ALL the Debates, &c. cte., answer beet, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly. &Testable Agents will always supply the proper paper; but where any wiVul neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " The Sun" Orate, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their representations.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the financial measures of the Governtront. Mr. EwART opposed the amendment, on the ground that it was wiser to have recourse to direct than to indirect 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 JonN 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 parti.?s 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. WARLEY, 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 Ilalf-past Nine o'Clock. 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. GISUORNE'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 GRANVILLE 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 mittee, as impracticable, humanly speaking; and we 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. HAWES said, as to the necessity of bringing spe- cifically under the notice and deliberate discussion o 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 1 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. Hews, 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 prima 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 of Commons. It is a Centaur —half Parlia mentary, half departmental.

The House of Lords did not sit. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. 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. TUORNELY, 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 EBRING 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 MAnoN, the Right Hun. 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 i an amend ment, that the House do resolve itself into Commit tee that day three months. Mr. MVNTz, in a humorous speech, supported the amendment. 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 addltiontlptiMan, and that was his only excuso'for votiiipoiitreß n tinuance ; but he had a decided o octio001&i income-tax being made a part. of 1 ~ ,t ` of the country, but he coufesiiiCtkiV , .'"

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 d 4 rectly, 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 Jesuils, or the clergy of his canton were enlightened, 1 and opposed to the charlatanism of that order. He stated that his instructions were voted by three-fourths of the Grand Council, supported by 7,000 petitioners, whereas, for the acceptation of the constitution of the eanton, there were only 6,000 petitioners. This fact, he thought, would show the state of public feeling on the question of the Jesuits in Soleure." After hearing the Deputies of Glaris and Outer Appenzell, who agreed with the De puty for Berne, the Diet adjourned until the following day. The Zurich Gaze states that when Mr. MOWER, the British Minister, presented to the President of the Diet the dispatch of the Earl of ABERDEEN, he ex pressed warm sympathy for the Helvetic Confederation, and declared that the British Government approved in its whole extent the circular addressed by the Vorort to the States. 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 s 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 " his 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" It will be seen from the following proceedings of the French Stock Market, that great fluctuations had taken place, with a considerable decline both in the Five and Three per Cents.

For our parts, our "admi ration" is engrossed by the mystic agency that transmits the most secret intelligence with such Erzroom, Jan. 17, 1845. MY DEAR GROVER—How shall I thank you for our great, great kindness—but I confess that when ... heard you were gone to St. Petersburg, I trembled, for I was afraid that you would have gone to Bokhara with letters from the Emperor. God be praised that the Emperor did not grant you the letters, and that you did not proceed. As long as that horrid-fellow Abd-00l Samet Khan is at Bokhara, nothing will be of any use. Every Englishman's fate is sealed—he must die. The fol lowing persons have been murdered at Bokhara :- 1. Lieut. Wyburd, of the Indian Navy. 2. Lieut.-Col. Stoddart. 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. 3.

God be praised that you did not proceed to Bokhara. I made the whole journey from Bokhara to Meshed on horseback with a rupture got at Bokhara, and with out a bandage, and also from Meshed to Tehran , other 600 miles, and from Tehran to Tabris, 380 miles. At Tabris I was taken ill with a bilious fever, which de tained me there fifteen days. The Russian Consul at Tabris made me a present of a Tuctrawan (litter) which conveyed me to Awajick, 160 miles, but from this place to Erzroom, the mountains co vered with snow, and the horrid precipices, pre vent the passage of a Tuctrawan, and I was obliged to travel 300 miles under continued agonies, and at night eaten up by lice and fleas. At Hassan Kaleh, great was my joy at finding a Tuctrawan, belonging to the Pacha of Erzroom, which was sent on through the kindness of our good, benevolent, excellent, kind-hearted, and dear Colonel Williams, whose equal is scarcely to be found in this world. At nine miles from Erzroom Colonel Williams came himself to meet me. I was in such a distressed state, that I was taken at once to a Turkish bath and was supplied with fresh clothing, and I was obliged to use mercury five days before I could get rid of the troublesome parasites, and was then so debilitated that I could not stand upon my legs. Thanks be to God for his loving kindness, in sending me such friends as Colonel Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Redhouse, who have taken such tender care of me that I am now able to record to my friends in England the kindness of those excellent friends. Mr. Brant, the Consul, also comes every other day to see me, and Dr. Dixon is exceedingly kind. God be praised ! But there is not such a man in the British army as Colonel Williams It was my intention to have brought with me to England Moolah Mehdee, the kind Jew of Meshed, but Colonel Williams and Colonel Farrant persuaded me to send him back to Meshed.

Madrid journals of the 25th ult. have been received. According to some of them circulars have been sent to all the Captains-General of the provinces, not to carry in future into execution the sentences of death pro nounced by courts-martial, without first referring to the Governments. A letter from Vittoria states that the regiments of Santander and Palencia, which, in conse quence of the late arrests, have been deprived of a part of their officers and sergeants, had been sent, the first to Villareal-d'Alava, and the second to Tolosa. Before they set out fifteen of the officers had keen discharged and ordered to return home. Much business was done on the Madrid Bourse on the 25th. The closing prices were—Three per Cents., 33! cash, 34 at 60 days ; Five per Cents., 25-1, at 60 days ; Passive Debt, 25+ at 60 days. The intelligence in the Paris papers relates chiefly to the conversion of the Five per Cent. Stock and the pro ceedings of the Swiss Diet. Most of the journals are favourable to the measure, and blame the Finance Mi nister for postponing an important financial operation, and thereby prolonging fluctuation is the funds and agi tation in the public mind. " Were ever more wretched measures tried," the Congitutionncl asks, " to escape from a measure which the public interest has been de manding for ten years, and which was approved by M. LACAVE LArLAGNE himself in 1836 ? It will be easy in every successive year to find reasons like those which have been advanced for adjourning the conversion. The fear of a rise or fall in the Three per Cents. must always exist—the danger of jobbing must continue the same; in a word, it can never be difficult to imagine grave circum stances to warrant an adjournment." The Journal des De.. bats takes a different view of the question, strangely argues against the injustice of the measure, and absurdly fore bodes generally confusion by robbing one party to serve another. "To some up our remarks in a single phrase," it says, " the clearest effect of the conversion, will be to destroy the class of stockholders; there will be nothing left but stockjobbers! There is no opportune time for injustice, and that is the reason why, whilst we render homage to the honour of the Minister of Finance, and the sincerity of the sentiments which he expressed be fore the Committee on the Budget, we have considered it necessary to protest against the groundwork of his opinion. M. LACAVE LAPLAGNE has proved very clearly that the operation would be inopportune this year ; we shall be prepared to show that it will be bad at any time." The Committee on the Budget, however, have taken a very differentview. On Monday they took the proposition of the Minister into consideration, and, with one exception only, the Members requested the Government to present a Bill this session for the conversion of the stock. The discussions on the Jesuits, which commenced in the Extraordinary Diet at Zurich on the 27th ult., pos sess considerable interest. At the opening of the meeting, the Chancellor of the Diet laid before the Deputies the petitions praying for the expulsion of the Jesuits, which are signed by 120,000 persona. M. NEU. HAUS, Deputy for Berne, and one of the most distin geished of the Liberal party, began the debate. The question, he said, was not whether the Diet had a right to take steps against the Jesuits, but whether the Jesuits had oompromised and were compromising the safety of Switzerland. The Jesuits were dangerous, " first, because with their morals they teach a people to commit tranquilly the most culpable acts ; secondly, because they profit by their ecclesiastical oharacter to introduce trouble and division into families ; thirdly, bemuse the order of Jesuits inculcates blind and passive submission, and thus lays prostrate the human mind ; fourthly, because, having neither family nor social rela tions, the Jesuits can no longer be good citizens ; fifthly, because they are constantly aiming at power without compunction as to the means ; and, sixthly, because, as regards Switzerland, the principal object of the order is the extirpation of Protestantism." This admirable sum mary of the qualities of the sect was followed by a speech from M. SINGWART, Deputy from Lu cerne, who said the Jesuits were not the cause of the existing agitation, and ascribed it to the irritation produced in the minds of the Catholics by the suppression of the convents. He declared in the name of his canton, that it would not subscribe to any of the chimerical ideas about the influence of the Jesuits, and would not revoke the decree which had been issued in their favour. The Deputies of Uri, Schwyz, Unterwald, Zug, and Fribourg defended the Jesuits, and asserted that all that had been said against them was mere ca lumny. The Deputy for Soleure, M. MUNZINHER, said " that he represented a Catholic canton, but he was ne vertheless instructed to demand the expulsion of the doubt yield a handsome return to the shareholders, but we hare always our apprehensions as to the consequences of a war. There is a prospectus now before us for a line from Marseilles to Toulon, with docks at the latter; both cities of large population, and offering a good opening for improved accommodation, and we presume that, as in most other cases, there will be a struggle by competing companies to get the concession. As far as we can judge—and we decline going further—the successful company will do well.

JAMES'S THEATRE. Don Cesar de Bazan was acted at this theatre for the last time yesterday evening, with Frederick Lemaitre as the Don. It is at all times invidious to draw compari sons between contemporary actors, but such has been the popularity of Don Cesar in this country, such, more especially, has been the popularity of Wallack in this character, that a comparison between him and Frederick Lemaitre is almost forced upon us. The difference be tween these two great representatives of the Don may be explained in a very few words. The Don Cesar of Wallack is a fine sketch— the Don Cesar of Lemaitre is a finished picture. The outline is in each instance equally exquisite, but the colouring of Lemaitre is far superior ; all the lights and shadows are worked in most artistically. The picture is, altogether, of a higher tone. The Don Cesar of Le maiter is more rugged, and more squalid than that of Wallack, but it is also more noble. The proud Hidalgo bursts through even his rags, and the Castilian honour fires up at the least approach of insult, even under the most depressing circumstances. Never has the poor, but proud, gentleman been more admirably depicted. But when we say that the Don Cesar of Wallack is but a sketch, it must be recollected that the English play is but a sketch of the French play. The original is in five acts, while the English version has been cut down to three ; and although the part of Maritana has suffered the most by this condensing process, yet the Don has also been sadly curtailed of his fair proportions. Had Wallack had the same materials to work on, he might probably have been equally great with Lemaitre. In the English version Maritana is a part—in the French original it is a character, and it was most effectively sustained by by Mademoiselle Clarisse. The scene with the Don, in the fourth act, in which she discovers the vile trick which has been played upon her, and vindicates her honour and fidelity, %. as beautifully given. Nothing could exceed the intensity of feeling which Mademoiselle Clarisse threw into this scene. We are sorry to perceive that these talented artistes can remain with us only a week longer. On Friday, Lemaitre appears in L'Aube , ge des Adrets, as Robert Macaire. This is, in our opinion, his greatest character, and we expect a great treat. The house was literally crowded by the dig.: of Ihe fashionable world. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. - - - - - CITY. TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 15i per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 54 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 75, it follows that gold is 0.82 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 101 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh onLondon at short being 13 124, it follows that gad is 0.79 per cent. dearer in London than liaraburgb. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Pabitt Opinion. " Who runs may read." ' , or/mum. The indica/ear of Bordeaux mentions a reports that there is to be a camp for military exercises this year in the environs of that place, and that it will be visited by the Duke and Duchess de Nemours. The Committee on the Supplementary Credits met on Monday, when the Minister of Foreign Affairs gave some explanations respecting the Portendic affair, and the indem nity to be given to the agents of the Government who were employed in Morocco during the war with that country. The Committee expressed themselves satisfied with the expla nations. Marshal Bugeaud has been examined by the Committee on the Bill for supplementary grants for the services of 1843-1844, and has given very full details on the state of Algeria and the system of military colonisation which he proposes to adopt on his return to Africa. For some time there has been an active embarkation of ' troops at Toulon for Algeria, in order that the army may be cemplete by the Ist of April, which has been fixed for the commencement of the spring campaign. The works of the fortification of Paris, which were sus pended during the winter, were resumed on Saturday. A rich specimen of guano was received last week at the Jardin des Plantes. Hitherto the quantity of this manure imported into France has been very small, but large quan tities of it are expected at Havre. A seizure was made at Boulogne last week of a consi derable quantity of iron, which was found to have been hollowed out and filled with articles which are either prohi bited, or liable to a high rate of duty, such as cast steel, files, lace,woollen goods, &c. The iron was imported in one of the packets, by an Englishman, who pretended that he was about to establish himself in the iron trade at Boulogne, and it appears that the captain of the packet was wholly ignorant of the fraud. The packet, however, has been seized. The provincial journals still contain accounts of disasters occasioned by the late severe cold. A few days ago the bodies of three smugglers were found near Ruffieu (Ain), with their bales of contraband goods by their side. They had been lost in the snow, and frozen to death. The last accounts from Oceania announce the death of Yotete, King of the island of Taonata (Marquesas). He is succeeded by Mahiono, a young man, 25 years of age. According to a Vienna journal, the Empress of Russia, after having taken the waters at Ems, will proceed to Pisa, and not Nice, as had been stated, the climate of Pisa having been recommended by her physicians as preferable to that of Nice. The Emperor intends to try the baths of Kissengen. The two Chambers of the Grand Duchy of Baden have just voted a loan of 14 millions of florins (1,100,0001.) for the construction of railroads. This sum is to be raised by lot tery. The holders of numbers are to receive 3i per cent. in terest guaranteed by the State upon the amount of the re spective shares, and a large sum will be distributed in prizes at each drawing. &AW AND POLICII. At the Reading Assizes on Tuesday, Thomas Jennings was found guilty of the wilful murder of Eleazar Jennings, his third son, of the age of three years, by placing arsenic in his food, at Thatcham. Mr. Baron Platt passed sentence of death upon the prisoner, to whom he held out not the slightest hope of mercy in this world, but solemnly adjured him to make the best use of the short time that remained, by at tending to the instructions he would receive in gaol. His Lordship dwelt upon the diabolical nature of the crime, which was aggravated by the attempt he had made to throw sus picion upon an innocent child. The prisoner, who had fre• quently shed tears during the trial, now exclaimed that he was innocent, and that his life had been falsely sworn away. The jury had recommended him to mercy apparently to the surprise of the Court. At the New Court, Old Bailey , Henry Grant and William Bridgewell, both 22, were convicted of stealing a bowl, con taining a half-crown, four shillings, and other silver coins, the property of T. W. Bushby. The prisoners belong to what is called the " Tooley-street Gang," and have been long known to the police, in consequence of prior convictions. On this occasion they took an excursion to Clapham, where they were watched and followed, until at length one of them went into the shop of the prosecutor, and took his cash-bowl. The Common Sergeant said an effort must be made to break up this desperate gang of prowling thieves. The judgment of the Court was that Grant be transprted for ten Years, and Bridgewell (who had not been so often convicted) for seven years. The assizes at Northampton were opened on Tuesday by Chief Justice Tindal and Justice Mauls. The calendar pre sented 50 cases for trial for the county, and the names of 68 prisoners. The offences charged were for by far the most part of a more than ordinarily light character. There were, however, five cases of aggravated assaults upon females, three of stabbing and shooting with intent, &c., one of horse stealing, one of sheep-stealing, and one of arson. COURT—F.A.SIIIONABLE. Lord Stanley has been confined to his room - since Saturday last, and is now so much indisposed as to render it necessary to postpone until Saturday, the 15th instant, the grand din ner and evening party originally fixed by the Noble Lord and Lady Stanley for Saturday next, the Bth inst. Lord Wharncliffe is suffering from an attack of gout, which will probably confine his Lordship to the house for some days. Sir Robert Peel does not intend to give his customary Parliamentary dinners until after the Easter recess. It is said that Lady Peel purposes giving a series of assemblies after Easter. The Duke of Buckingham has arrived at Buckingham House, Pall-mall, from Stowe. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland are about to receive company at Trentham. The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk and the Ladies Howard, are expected from Belvoir Castle to-day. The Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch had a dinner and evening party on Tuesday at Montagu House. The Duke and Duchess of Hamilton entertained at dinner on Sunday evening, in Portman-square, the Grand Dowager Duchess .of Baden, Count and Countess St. Atrlaire Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, Count and Countess D'H'arcourt, Lord Ossulston, M.P., the Earl and Countess of Lincoln, the Marquis of Douglas, &c. The Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, and the Ladies de Burgh, who intended to have quitted Naples at the commencement of the preceding month, are still sojourn ing in that city. The Noble Marquis and family are not expected in Carlton House-terrace until after Easter. The Marquis and Marchioness of Brea dalbane are not expected in Park-lane until the end of the month. His Lordship's mansion is undergoing re-embellishment. The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne entertained a distinguished circle at dinner, on Monday evening, at Lans downe House. The Marchioness was prevented by indispo sition from accepting her Majesty's invitation to dinner, at Buckingham Palace on Saturday evening. The Countess Flahault (Baroness Keith and Nairne) and family intend to remain at Hastings about five weeks longer, when they tome to town, a mansion having been taken for the reception of the family. MISCELL.A.NZOITS. At the sale of Mr. Bright's library on Tuesday, the great lot was the three folio volumes of broadside ballads, which formerly belonged to the Duke of Roxburghe, originally having been collected by Bagford, and added to most ma terially by the Earl of Orford, and subsequent possessors, in cluding Mr. Bright, so that in the whole there were not fewer than 1,200 ballads in black and white letter, and nearly 1,000 of the former. They were purchased at 5351. for the British Museum. James Allan Maconochie, Esq., Sheriff of Orkney and Shet land, died last week in his 56th year. Ho was brother of Lord Maconochie, one of the Scotch judges. On the introduction of railways into this country, the breeding of horses, especially those suitable for agricultural purposes, was to a considerable extent discontinued in almost every county in the kingdom. Good horses, however, were scarcely ever known to be so much in demand as at present, judging from the particulars of several important horse fairs lately held in the northern counties. A Parliamentary paper has been issued from which it appear" that since the commencement of the present ses sion one hundred and nine petitions for railway Bills have been presented, thirty-nine Bills read a first time, and fifteen:Bills read a second time.

There are no ship arrivals from any quarter to-day, bring ing later intelligence. The produce markets are materially affected by the inde cision respecting the sugar question; but this sealed, a very active trade is looked for. We can scarcely follow the unusual number of railway schemes from time to time appearing, many of them haying some claim or other to consideration, although it is impossible but that. the investment of so much capital must ultimately bring about a decided pressure for money. Every subscriber to a new scheme, trusts, however, more to his tact than his resources, in not being " caught," and hence it is that subscriptions are nominally filled, almost before opened. The French lines are particularly favoured .in this respect, and, however stringent may be the conditions which Louis Phillippe's Government will impose, the English seem de termined that they will give railways to their neighbours. In a pecuniary point of view, some of these, no doubt, from the better direction of the lines, the cheaper construction, and otha facilities, the moult of our dor-bought experience, will no LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

We still have to remark on the anomaly which exists in the price of flour and bread at Paris and Brussels. Wheat is still dearer at Paris than at Brussels, while bread is dearer at Brussels than at Paris. The thaw during the day from the heat of the sun, and the severe frosts in the nights, have done very great injury to the rapeseed, and there is reason to fear that in many places it will be quite destroyed. On the other hand, we are glad to learn from the farmers that -wheat and other plants have not yet suffered by these vicissitudes of moisture, thaw, and intense ccld. We are assured that the Minister of the Interior will shortly bring forward a measure relative to the game-laws.
