Oil tail% .." 1 = Ant LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1844, The Pust, usually so calm and decorous in its lan guage, and so like a lady'&-maid in its notions of the genteel, is this morning in—what Sir ANTHONY ABSOLUTE would call —" a thundering passion.' O'CONNELL and the Repeal question have, between them, fairly "scared it from its propriety," and it expresses itself with a vehemence that may be almost sad to border upon frenzy. " Great wits to mad ness nearly are allied," says DRYDEN ; but here we have a proof that " small wits" have quite as close a connexion with insanity, for our Contemporary's sagacity is anything but remarkable for its enlarged character ; and none can doubt, who peruses the fol lowing strange, wild passage, that his mind is just at present in that state of hallucination, which no generous or susceptible nature can witness without emotion : "It is the merest folly in English statesmen," re marks the Post, in the intensity of its wrath, "to trust longer to the effects of conciliation. Ireland must be abandoned to the disloyal Romanists, or re-con quered. Ireland never can be governed by conciliation. She must be surrendered at discretion to the enemies of England, or governed by force. Nor let squeamish people start at this doctrine. Force is the principle to which the Romanists have appealed. What else meant the monster meetings of last year ? What meant O'CONNELL'S speeches breathing, as they did, blood and vengeance? The Repealers have, in fact, admitted that they will, if they can, carry their ends by violence. By violence, therefore, is England jus tified in maintaining her supremacy!" Is it the placid and sentimental Post, usually so studious in the cultivation of the gentilities, that holds this fe rocious language ? Is it the Post, so conspicuous by its high-toned theories and its strenuous inculcation of a lofty political morality, that thus advocates the most demoralising of all evils, civil war ?—that re commends Engl an d to d raw the sword, and once again let loose the blood-hounds of rapine and car nage through the length and breadth of un happy Ireland ? We can scarcely credit the evidence of our senses; and can only account for our Contemporary ' s l anguage by supposing that his excessiveindignati on against the Re peal agitators has ohnuhilated his judgment, and blunted, if not wholly destroyed, t h at fine sense of humanity of which he is continually Making such a parade. But to say nothing of the mingled frenzy and absurdity of the above passage, what can be falser than some of the . statements contained in it ? " Ire land never can be governed by conciliation !" Why, she never has been so governed, except perhaps during the brief period when she had a NORMANDY for a Viceroy, and a MORPETH for her Chief Secre tary, and then she was notoriously more tranquil and contented than she had been for ages before ; the demand for a Repeal of the Union, if made at all, was made only in a faint, languid whisper, and excited little or no public wsitkiitaVpli. and the Irish Judges on their different re .... 7 eirp*lcilatulated their co un t r y men on th e grea t Aminution" crime among them. If we except this thoibrief—period, Ireland, we repeat, never has been go‘etned by conciliatio n . O n th e con t rary , she has been governed on the principle of coercion, for the high Tories----the CASTLEREAGLI and the E Li:Km party—were for a long series of years toge ther her sole, absolute governors ; and we need not explain to our readers what was the character of their Irish administration, for it is written in letters of blood on the page of history, and has engendered a feeling of distrust and impatience of English sway in the sister country that it will take more than one generation to obliterate. The experiment, then, of conciliation is an experiment that is yet to be made; and as it is one based on justice, and in strict harmony with all we can conceive of en lightened statesmanship, it should be made forthwith by Ministers, and in such a spirit, as shall oe an un erring voucher for their sincerity. But Heaven for bid that Government should ever adopt the Post's recommendation, and resort to the sword as a means for tranquillising Ireland ! The sword ! What a world of atrocities is conjured up by the mention of this one little word ! The imagination shrinks aghast at the variety of appalling spectacles which it spreads before its gaze. But, fortunately, the tendencies of the age are decidedly opposed to such barbarous— and, we may add, ineffectual—schemes for putting down the free spirit of a people; and though at: English Cabinet, true to old instincts, may still con tinue to neglect, harass, or even to coerce Ireland, we have not the slightest apprehension that it will ever again venture on the desperate step of letting loose the demon of war against her. As regards our Con temporary's assertion, that " 0 1 CoNNELL's speeches at the monster meetings, breathing, as they did, blood and vengeance," recommended an appeal to physical force, never was there a more unblushing falsehood ! Mr. O'CommEnn studiously repudiated the idea of appealing to physical force ; peace, order, and for bearance were invariably the burdens of his song; indeed, it was his constant—his favourite boast, that not one single breach of the peace took place during the whole time when the " mon ster meetings" were being held: and so far were his speeches from "breathing blood and vengeance,' that be asserted not once, but a hundred times, that no revolution was worth making that could only be made by the shedding of blood ! If our Contemporary must needs fall foul of CeCoNxisix, let it at least attack him fairly, and not charge him with errors that he has never committed, and never dreamed of com mitting. From the Times of yesterday we extract a highly interesting letter on the affairs, government, and civil and political administration of Sinde. We strongly commend it to the serious attention of every reader who would justly appreciate either the im portance of that territorial acquisition on the north• western frontier of Hindostan—or the talents and genius of the intrepid soldier who could only have surpassed the greatness of those achievements which effected its conquests by the consummate prudence and vigour with which he now governs it. Fertile as the cam paigns of our soldiery in those distant regions •have ever been in military successes, we know of no in stance in which the laurels of victory have been gathered, under an Indian sun, with more daring, or with happier results, than those which adorn the career of Sir CHARLES NAPIER. He is one of the feu commanding officers who has felt, in its full force— at the head of British and native troops, flushed with the renown of their triumphs over forces and re sources of the most disproportionate magnitude as compared with their own—the depth and truth of the political axiom, "that our empire in India is an empire of opinion." Under this salutary conviction he seems ever to have made it his first object, after reaping the fruits of his rapid, but always fortunate and well-combined movements against an enemy, to inspire confidence, regard, and even attachment in the native mind, by an intelligent respect for cus toms and usages not incompatible with the great principles of morality or civilisation--by a nice ad justment of the efficient exercise of his own powers and authority to the ostensible demands of Oriental etiquette and decorum ;—by a bold and soldier-like confidence in the good faith of a vanquished foe who has once entered into other and more pacific and pri vileged relations with the government of his con queror. This happy combination of the highest ability for civil administration with the clearest fore cast and vigilance, the most untiring energy, promp titude, and courage, in military movements and operations, constitute Sir CHARLES NAPIER'S title to rank among the most gifted soldiers and diploma tists of his day. In answering certain passages in a previous letter from a " Deccan Correspondent" of the Times, "an Officer" has really developed these excellencies in the character of his hero, Sir C. NAPIER, with much spirit, and in a style of truthful simplicity. It is difficult, no doubt, to satisfy the expectations of an Anglo-Indian resident, who talks of an as semblage of twenty thousand armed Beloochee chiefs, at Hyderabad, at the simple bidding of Sir CHARLES, as a " poor affair." But those who know the in domitable spirit of the Rajport and Beloochee races, their impatience of all foreign authority, and their habits of military license, will rather perceive, in this memorable incident—(especially when they call to mind the modest amount of effective forces, after all, under the command of Sir CHARLES)—a strong confirmation of the axiom we have already cited. The sagacity and firmness of an European com mander, under whose administration such an evidence of the moral force of opinion among such a turbulent and formidable oligarchy of feudal leaders is elicited, cannot be over-estimated. But when we contemplate our gallant NAPIER'S mode of resenting the bar barous treachery of ADI MORAD ;—the emphatic astonishment and sudden allegiance of GOOLAM KHAN ;—the signal act of retributive vengeance, quietly inflicted on some highland chieftain in the heart of his own mountain domains, with two of his followers, for the robbery and murder of an Armenian merchant ;—the abrupt intrusion into the General's presence of the old Beloochee who had traversed a distance of two hundred miles only to see the man, the renown of whose inflexible justice had penetrated to the wildest haunts of the tribes who had retired thither from the lawless cruelties and oppressions of their own Ameers ;—and when we mark homage paid, by the great Governor (the "Padisha," as they some what extravagantly term him), to the personal rights and property of the meanest native, in the punish ment and expulsion of the policeman ; we seem carried back to the primitive days of Mussulman simplicity and sternness, good faith, and chivalrous devotion. It is like reading some of those passages which GIBBON has transferred from the Arabian Annalists of the unflinching justice of ABU ("ERR, the immovable loyalty of OMAR, and the enthusiastic confidence of Au. These anecdotes are really most picturesque and dramatic. But the truth is, that the merits of Sir CHARLES'S civil administration of Sinde, as illustrated by "an Officer," may well rank with any upon record, in respect of Governments as sumed and established under such extraordinary cir cumstances. To have established a rapidly increasing revenue on firm and yet expanding bases—to main tain all the effective establishments of his Govern ment on a scale of expenditure as marvellous for its economy, as its own working is for efficiency; to have made the authority of justice not less respected throughout his wild and mountainous province, and its fierce and heretofore turbulent people, than the terror of his military prowess, which he has so often and so amply signalised upon their choicest forces ; to have inspired implicit confidence in his own go vernrnent and the beneficent nature of its tendencies ; —to have secured the personal attachment of the chiefs whose power he has curbed, and whose ex- cesses he restrains ;—and to have impressed, by the magnanimity of his own character and acts, an entire people, semi-barbarous and fanatical though they be, with feelings of reverence for, and obedience to, the distant nation and the mighty SOVEREIGN whom he represents among them ; these, surely, are no ordi nary triumphs to have been accomplished against all physical odds and disadvantages, within a few 'short months of incessant and zealous devotion to the most varied and difficult of public duties. We take no credit to ourselves for having endeavoured, from the first intelligence of his masterly operations in Sinde, to direct attention to the consummate prudence and wonderful fortune of Sir CIIkRLES NAPIER ; but we will venture to exceed the terms of our former com mendation of this distinguished officer, by remarking, that to have performed such services t o hi s country —m inference fe civil ren c s e e r t v h i a c t e , as w e s h a ll thecall s indi v id ua l t i h li e ta m r — y, by whom they have been rendered must be anim a t e d i d s ip t l o om raise a ti; a a n n by no small portion of the inherent genius and The Tiempo calls on the Government to offer honours and the means of existence to the clergy, but to refuse them any political influence. When the Carlist party shall be firmly convinced that the con stitutional party is firm to its principles, and that it has no hope of the Government assistance and sup port in its plans, then certainly there will be no longer any fear of a repetition of the scenes of Na varre and Salamanca. The Globo does not call for persecution of the olergy, but points out the conduct of the priests, and particularly that of the Bishop of PALENCIA, as illegal, and declares that the enemies of the Government organised their opposition to the Ministerial candi 'late in the episcopal palace. M. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA has not yet decided un accepting the portfolio of foreign affairs.

Wo have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. [he peace between France and Morocco is the sub ject of commentary in all these journals; but as nei ther the Prince DE JoiNvILLE's dispatches, nor the treaty itself have been made public, we are with out any information as to the details of the negotia tion. The Opposition journals repeat the expression of their dissatisfaction respecting the treaty of peace with Morocco, which they declare to be not only without profit to France, but absolutely disgraceful to her. The Debats, however, says that their anger is caused by the success of the Government in crowning a profitless and difficult war with an honourable peace. "Peace is signed with Morocco," says the Journal des Debats, Our arms have made the Moorish Government yield more quickly than we ourselves expected. It is evi dently to the vigour with which the war has been car ried on that this result is due. Victorious France might assuredly, without the slightest dishonour, show herself generous towards a barbarian Government, and offer the same terms after her victory which she did previously. The Prince de Joinville's dispatch announces that the Moorish Government has itself demanded peace. It appears, therefore, that the most difficult ought to be satisfied. Alas the war been efficacious ? Yes ; for the Moorish Government has submitted. We have bombarded two of its towns, routed its cavalry ; it sur renders, and acknowledges itself vanquished. It was by us the terms of peace were dictated, be they more or less severe. We know no more for the present. We must wait for the remainder of the Prince de Joinville's dis patches. We are authorised, however, to declare that the war was carried on with success, and concluded an honourable peace. We have attained our object, the prestige of Morocco is destroyed in the mind of the Arab tribes, and the consolidation of our dominion in Algeria has made an immense progress." The National, in allusion to the firing of the cannon at the Invalides, in honour of the treaty with Morocco, says " the Parisian public shrugged their shoulders with pity at hearing this warlike proclama tion of the heroes of peace at any price," and concludes a most violent article against the treaty in these words :—" It is endeavoured to lull us to sleep with the noise of our triumphs at Isly and Mogadore, which after all would not have occupied more than a line in the annals of another period, and with our diplomatic successes, which are mere disgraceful de ceptions ; and during this time the diplomacy of the Princes of Europe is far from being asleep. The Emperor NICHOLAS, M. BRUNNOW, M. NESSRLRODE, and the British Ministers, are concluding serious conventions without the noise of cannon. A coalition is formed to which the French revolution is delivered up bound hand and foot. It is not surprising that M. GUIZOT should appear joyous and triumphant. Circumstances are propitious for the Minister of the foreigner." The Presse is the . only paper not a supporter of the Government which approves of the peace. We ex tract from the Prase the following, relative to the proceedings of Mr. BULWER : " When Mr. Bulwer had concluded the treaty relative to the dispute with Spain, Sidi-Bon-Sellam, the Paella of El-Araich, prayed him to terminate immediately the affairs of France, declaring himself charged with full powers to regulate them. Mr. Bulwer replied that France wished to terminate alone and directly her differ ences with Morocco; he recommended the Moorish plenipotentiary to regulate as soon as possible the affair of France; and signified to him anew the neutrality of England as well in case of war as in case of peace." The French papers have published a letter from Mogadore, in which it is stated that the English Go- vernment steamer Vesuvius, while passing Rabat and Mogadore, with the English flag flying, was twice fired at by the Moors. The Globe quotes this letter, in order to show the absurdity of the statement of the Opposition prints, that the Moorish batteries were partly manned by English gunners. The Journal des Debats has the following in re ference to an announcement of a morning Contem porary respecting an imaginary treaty ceding Suez to England, has been deservedly scouted at Paris. "An English journal, which is usually well informed on foreign affairs, has published a note which would seem to give a certain consistency to reports which a slight examination would have shown to have little foundation. The Morning Herald has announced that a treaty, of which the origin might be traced back to 1840, was on the point of being concluded between England, and, we suppose, the Pacha of Egypt, by which Great Britain would obtain possession of the port of Suez, the free passage from that place to Alexandria, and other impor tant advantages in Egypt and Syria. This treaty, in which France was not to participate, was, it is said, to be guaranteed by Russia, Austria, and Prussia. The Eng lish journal added, that it did not know by what intrigue France did not appear to participate in this convention, but that it had reason to believe that England had nothing to do with the exclusion. We are astonished that a ! journal so serious, and usually so reserved, could have so lightly given a piece of news of this nature. We do not believe in the existence of an intrigue, because we do not believe in the possibility of the treaty in question. If it be true that England is to conclude with the Pacha of Egypt, in other words with the Ottoman Porte, a treaty, the origin of which belonged to the events of 1840, it is olear that this treaty could only have heroism of a CLivr, and the disciplined and profound statesmanship of a WELLESLEY. A letter from Athens of the 31st ult. announces that the COLETTI Cabinet was already divided, in con sequence of the exigencies of M. METAXA, who, being supported by the Peloponnesian Opposition, and dissa tisfied with his two colleagues, TZAVELLAS and BALM, required the appointment of CANARIS to the Navy De partment, and of ZOGRAPHOS to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The resignation of General KALERGI, the Governor of Athens, had been accepted by the KING. KALEEGI had retired among his family, at Argos, to avoid being present at the celebration of the anniver sary of that revolution. Some pirate boats had ap peared in the channel of Andros, captured two mer chant vessels, and, it was said, a Royal cutter, with a crew of four men, and carrying 16,000 drachmas be longing to the Government, and put their crews to death. The headless bodies of twenty of the latter having been washed by the sea on the coast of Andros, M. PISCATORY hastened to send the Pericles and Pepin steamers in pursuit of these pirates. The elec tions at Athens had not yet been resumed, and the convocation of the Legislature was still indefinitely postponed. The Madrid mail of the 11th has arrived. The Carlists have carried the elections at Saragossa, Pam peluna, Zamora, Toledo, Seville, Segovia, Montoro, and several other places. At Salamanca they had the majority for the first two days, but a strong effort made by the Government defeated them at the moment of victory. At Placentia, the Carlists, who came to the poll under the leadership of the priests, were very near being triumphant; and in several other important towns they have come out with a strength and boldness which have taken the Govern- ment quite by surprise. In all these struggles the priests are the active leaders. These successes had occasioned serious alarm to the Government. It was stated that an endeavour was to be made to con ciliate the Liberals by recalling M. CORDER() and his friends from their banishment in the Canary Isles. The Government, it seems, dreads some Carlist outbreak in Navarre, for a strong body of troops, under the command of General VILLALONGA, who exterminated the Carlists at Maestrasgo, has been ordered into that province. There appears to be little doubt that these Carlist movements have been organised by the clergy, thus showing how useless have been the attempts of CHRISTINA to conciliate them. a character altogether opposed to that which is at tributed to it. If we remember rightly, England in 1840, is concert with Austria, Russia, and Prussia, waged war in the Levant for the sole purpose of re-esta blishing and assuring the integrity of the Ottoman empire. She made war to prevent the Pacha of Egypt from raising his temporary principality into a sovereignty and independent State, to restore Syria to theluzerainty of the Porte, and, at the same time, prevent any European State from establishing in Egypt an exclusive influence. It was on this basis, very clear, very formal, that the treaty of 1840, which France did not participate in, was concluded ' • and the treaty o f 1841, w hi c h defi nitively regulated the relations of the Porte with the Paella of Egypt, had no other object than to give to this state of things an unanimous confirmation. It is, there fore, quite impossible that England should at present think of aiming a blow at that integrity, the maintenance of which was the only motive of her policy in 1840 ; and we still less see how a convention of the nature spoken of could be connected with events which had a signification diametrically contrary. We are well con vinced that England has no more the project of conquest and extension of territory at the eastern extremity of Africa than we have at the other end ; and we think that we - can declare with certainty that this pretended taking possession of the town of Suez, augmented by the concession of particular advantages is Egypt and Syria, has no kind of foundation." The expenses of the expedition against Morocco, ascertained at the Ministries of War and Marine, amount already to upwards of 20,000,000 f. On Monday morning orders were forwarded by telegraph from Paris to Rochefoe, Cherbourg, Lo rient, Toulon, and Brest, to suspend all the armaments proceeding in those harbonrs. On the same day written instructions were forwarded to the Maritime Prefect, directing them to prepare for the reception of the ships of the squadron now on their way home. Two brigs and one corvette, however, are to be armed, and to sail for the coast of Africa, where they are to remain under the orders of Capt. HERNOUX, the com mander of the station. It would appear that, if ever formed, the idea of a review of the National Guards of Paris by the KING at the end of the present month has been abandoned. The Republicans attribute the omission of the review to the failure of the news from Africa, the victory of Isly, and the bombardment of Tangiers and of Moga dore, to produce enthusiasm. The KING'S present intention is, we are told, to remove from Neuilly to St. Cloud on the 25th inst., and to proceed to Eu on or about the Ist of October, and leave Treport for England on the sth or 6th. The accounts from Algiers are of the 10th inst. Marshal BUGEAUD returned to that city on the sth, and was received by the authorities under a trium phal arch, adorned with the trophies taken at the battle of Isly. In the evening the Consuls of the different nations paid him a visit of congratulation. The Akhbar states, that after the dispersion of the Moorish forces, Marshal BUGEATJD had resolved to conduct the main force of his army to Djemaa-Ghazaouat. On the Ist inst. six battalions of infantry reached that point, where they were to be joined, on the sth, by eight other battalions and the cavalry. A battalion remained at Lalla Maghrina for the guard of the camp, and General BEDEAU had returned to Tlemcen with four others. The Moniteur Algerien publishes the following letter, addressed by King LOUIS PHILIPPE to Marshal BUGEAUD, on the occasion of his victory at Isly. The Marshal has arrived at Algiers, and was received by the authorities with great distinction : " Neuilly, Aug. 29. "My dear Marshal—lt is with lively and profound emotion that I congratulate you on the brilliant exploits which you have just added to all those which have made our flag illustrious. The noble resolution that you took to fight the battle of Isly, with an army so dispropor tioned in number to that which you attacked, has pro duced in the minds of our brave soldiers the sensation which I experienced on learning it. I have felt that this appeal to French soldiers must have rendered them in vincible, and they were so. Be my organ, my dear Marshal, with them. Tell them that it is in the name of France, as well as my own, that I ask you to offer to this brave army, which you led so gloriously to victory, the expression of the national gratitude, and that of the admiration excited by its valour and devotedness. Re ceive, my dear Marshal, the assurance of all the senti ments which will ever be felt towards you by your affec tionate " LOUIS PHILIPPE." The French Funds fell on Monday, and one of the causes alleged for the fall was the instability of the Ministry. TILE BOURSE --TUESDAY, SEPT. 17. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price.

This intelligence was brought from Gibraltar, in the Hecla steamer, by Colonel Barrie, o f the British Le gation a French s4eamer had been dispat c h e d to Mogadore to order the immediate evacuation of the island of which the French troops have been in p ossess i on since the bombardment of the town. The news transmitted by the French telegraph, and with respect to which so l t .m ne es. misgiving was felt, is thus e n ti re l y confirmed.— T THE GREAT WILL CASE.—We hear that the cor poration of the city of Gloucester have arranged to abandon their suit in the case of their extensive claims on the estate of the late Mr. Jame s W ood, of Glouces ter, and that the settlement of thi s l ong -pend i ng suit is likely to taken most unexp ec t e d turn. It is re ore of humble ported very confidently.that the rea l w i ll or codicil, properly attested, is at length forthcoming, and that a family in Worcestershir e , respect ability are likely, as heirs-at-law, to become possessed of Mr. Wood's enormous wealth. LEAMINGTON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 17.—Among the recent arrivals at this fashionable watering-place, which is now full of visitors, are the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, Lady Vernon and family, the Earl of Ripon, Mr. and Lady Charlotte Chetwynd, Sir Thomas and Lady Sheppard, Hon. Colonel and Lady Georgina Von, Bart., M.P., Dowager Cameron, Lady D a l z ell, L or d v C e o r d e ri n Lindsay, Hon. William Pet re , G eneral Sir H. Bayley, K.C.H., Lady Cockburn, L a d y Adair, Mr. and Mrs. L ea ad th y ea ß r i t dle S y ir, C ia W dy . Horsley Palmer and family, &c. &c. The performances of the infant Sappho, under the patronage of an eminent and influential physician at the Spa, have been highly attractive ; and the promenade concert, given by M. Jullien on Saturday evening last, was crowded almost to suffocation. The remains of the late Mrs. Hook, mother of the Rev. Dr. Hook, of Leeds, and relict of the late Dean of Worcester, were deposited here yesterday, in the new parish burial -ground, the ceremony being at tended by the two sons and only daughter of the de ceased, who were accompanied to the place of interment by most of the resident clergy. Mrs. Hook, whose death took place after an illness of only a few hours, was sister of the late Sir Robert Farquhar, Bart., and had resided for many years at Leamington, where she enjoyed the respect and esteem of a large circle of acquaintance. REMOVAL OF THE STRUCTURE AT KING'S-CROSS. — For some time past, in consequence of many accidents which have resulted from that certainly not very orna mental structure at thebend of Gray's Inn-road and the New-road, St. Pancras, known as the King's Cross, the vestry of St. Pancras have had in contemplation its re moval. To add to the danger resulting from the erec tion of such a structure in the centre of a spot where no fewer than half a dozen roads meet, and where so much traffic exists, the Cross, in addition 'to its conversion into a beer-shop, has recently had its upper apartment converted into an exhibition of camera obscure. This causes a large number of persons to assemble, and great obstruction is the result. The inhabitants residing in the immediate vicinity of Icing's-cross, as also most of the Paddington and other omnibus proprietors, have re cently presented a memorial to the vestry upon the sub ject, and a committee have been appointed with a view to effect the entire removal of the structure. To this, however, it is expected considerable opposition will be made on the part of the present holder of the premises, as it is stated he possesses a lease from the party to whom the site was originally granted by the parish, and that having once given such site, the parish have no power to take it away again. The committee of the vestry have not yet reported, but it is understood that in the event of their recommending the removal of the Cross, the vestry are determined to carry out the demo lition of the structure forthwith. BUSY BEES.—Last week Mr. Mossop, of the Low Door Inn, at the head of Keswick Lake, took a hive of bees, frog which he obtai ne d not l ess t h an fi re stone weight of excellent honey,Cumberland racquet, THIS DAY'S NEWS , BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A young man, named John Bird, was brought up be fore Mr. Hall, charged with creating a disturbance in the pit of the Strand Theatre last night, by shouting and using bad language. It appeared that in every scene of the play the pri soner shouted in a most vociferous manner, and when he was remonstrated with by the persons round him, he abused them, and used most violent language towards them. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was very much amused at the piece that was being performed, and h e laughed heartily at it, and Deca use he did so the people in the pit cried " Turn him out," and this exasperated him. Mr. HALL said this was the first time that he had ever heard of an objection being raised to a person laughing in a theatre. If such objections were to be raised, only tragedies ought to be performed, and that certainly was not the order of the present day.—(A laugh.) The officer said the prisoner was very riotous in his behaviour. Mr. HALL said these scenes in theatres were becoming of too frequent occurrence, and therefore he should mark this case with a severe fine. The prisoner must be fined 205., or be imprisoned ten days. The fine was paid. MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) FURIOUS DRlVlNG.—Richard Sercumb, who was stated to be a painter, carrying on business in Bedford bury, was charged with driving a cart along Oxford street at a furious rate, and driving over two females, one of whom was stated to be in imminent danger. Mr. Francis Burr said he was passing along Oxford street, from Hyde-park-corner. At the corner of Duke street he heard a scream, and on turning round he saw the defendant's cart, which was going at a rapid pace, pass over one of the females. They were both k noc k e d down. He added that he immediately stopped the cart, and had great difficulty in obtaining the assistance of the police. Hunter, 179 C, said the women appeared to be dread. fully injured—one had her nose completely cut through. They were removed to their residence, No. 26, Grafton street, at their request. The defendant said he did all in his power to stop the horse, and he could produce three witnesses to prove that he was blameless. Mr. RAWLIIISON said it was a serious charge, and in the absence of a surgeon's certificate he should remand him till Tuesday. UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Julia Murphy, a cook in the service of a lady named Bonner, in Canterbury-place, Lambeth, was charged with robbing her mistress of a gold chain, satin dress, and several other articles. From the complainant's statement it appeared that the prisoner bad been in her service for some time, and that on Monday she left without giving any notice of her intention. The same afternoon it was discovered that a chest of drawers had been forced open, out of which a gold neck-chain, a- satin dress, and other arti cles were stolen. Suspicion having been excited against the prisoner, she was traced to a lodging house in the New-cut, and had just entered the house from the theatre, dressed out in splendid style, and on being questioned as to the cause of her leaving her situation so abruptly, she gave an evasive answer. None of the stolen property was found, which is supposed to be pawned; and with a view of discove.iy, she was remanded CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) James Shannon was charged with stealing a silver watch and a gold ring from a po( r Lascar, named John Cotes. The complainant had not be n long in this country, and speaks English badly. It was gleaned from his statement, however, that he has 1 een paying his addresses to a Miss Mary Watson, and ti at at length his suit was successful. On Saturday last lie spent all the money he had accumulated for many months, in the purchase of wedding ornaments. On that evening, after surveying with admiring eyes their glittering treasure, they un fortunately quarrelled about the day on which they were to be married, he fixing Monday next, and she the follow ing Monday. Words rose high, and the prisoner, who was in the street, hearing the noise ran into the room, and when he left, the jewellery disappeared likewise. Mary, a pretty-looking black-eyed damsel, who was inconsolable, from the loss of the ring, said it was all her own fault that they quarrelled. The prisoner was bound over in his own recognisanees to answer the charge at a future period. A NEW MEANS OF DISCOVERING SMUGGLING.—A well-dressed man, of great rotundity of person, a few days ago got int o an omn ib us a t Ly ons . A wasp sett l ed on his stomach, and was driven away ; it returned, and was again sent off ; on its settling there a third time, an obliging gentleman in front, desirous of ridding his fellow-traveller of the annoyance, made a sudden at. tempt to seize it, but took his measures so awkwardly, that the stout gentleman all of a sudden became con tracted, and a quantity of brandy, contained in a blad der, with a view of defrauding the Octroi, flowed over the omnibus. In the midst of the confusion eao.sed by this unforeseen accident, the gentleman, no longerftout, made off. DONCASTER RACES. DONCASTER, WEDNESDAY. The settling took place this morning at the Sub scription Rooms, and, although a few balances stand over, is admitted to have been unusually good—it passed off without a murmur. A meeting of the club was held at their rooms previous to the races, and a resolution passed, that in future Doncaster Races shall commence on Tuesday and terminate on Saturday.

Thomas Jennings, a captain in the merchant service, surrendered to his bail, and was placed at the bar charged with a felony on the high seas, within the juris diction of the Admiralty of England. Our readers will recollect that at a recent session of this Court Mr. Zulueta, an eminent merchant of the City of London, was put upon his trial at the instigation of Sir George Stephen, an influential member of the Anti-Slavery So ciety, charged with being part owner of a vessel whose fittings out proved her to be intended for the conveyance and capture of slaves from the coast of Africa, Cuba, and Brazil. Upon that charge, after much investigation, he was fully acquitted. The presentdefendant, Captain Jennings, was now indicted for being the captain of that vessel, the Augusta, so fitted up for traffic :in negroes. To this indictment the defendant pleaded au trefois acquit, inasmuch as, for this very offence, he had been al ready tried before a mixed Commission at Sierra Leone, and acquitted. To this plea the Crown demurred, on the ground that the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England was not to be interfered with by the decision of any foreign Court. That demurrer now came on for argu ment. ;11r. Payne and Mr. Lush appeared on behalf of the Crown, and Mr. M. D. Hill, Mr. Prendergast, and Mr. Williams defended the prisoner. The facts of the case were not at all gone into ; the mere dry point of law, as to whether the trial at Sierra Leone, and acquittal of the defendant, prevented any further proceedings, being the only question before the Court. Mr. PAYNE and Mr. Lusn addressed the Court at some length, on behalf of the Crown, contending that the judgment of the Court in Sierra Leone was not binding on the Courts in England, and that the offence for which the prisoner was tried there was not the same as that for which he was now about to be tried. Mr. HILL, Mr. PRENDEGAST, and Mr. WILLIAMS, en behalf of the defendant, contended that the indictment was bad on the ground of the multiplicity of the counts that it contained, and their indefinite character. Mr. PAYNE replied, and The Court took time to consider of their judgment till to-morrow morning. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The letters and papers this morning delivered from the West Indies were barren of news of general importance. A communication received from Halifax states : " There has been much talk during the week of the intention on the part of the Government to run the Royal Mail steam• ships direct to Boston, instead of via Hali fax. We can find no sufficient grounds for the ru mour, but it has been considered of so much importance that a petition to the Government 'has been got up, unanimously signed, and transmitted through the proper channel,; deprecating any alteration in the route, as pre judicial, not only to the speedy and safe conveyance of the mails, but injurious to provincial interests, to make a foreign port a depot for the reception of the British mails for all the British North American provinces. There is no doubt that, by present arrangements, the mails arrive at every province as quick as they would were the steamers to run direct to Boston or New York, and we feel persuaded that it will be better to bear with a trifling inconvenience, if any such happens, at times, and which will disappear as the system becomes more complete, than to depend upon the captiousness of the United States and the good faith of its mercurial population, for the latest in formation and advices upon affairs, political or mercan tile. All the lower provinces, including Newfoundland, would be injured by the change, and the benefit to the Canadas, the only valid excuse that eau be imagined, short of a desire to pander to the interests of the United States at the expense of those of the colonies, would not be problematical indeed. A little sympathy on the frontier would soon prove to the Canadians the folly of jeopardising their English intelligence:and we would not give much for the integrity of the official papers, in the event of any serious question pending between the two Governments, all of which would be Grahamised ere they reached the boundary line. In short, the evils that would attend the change, present or prospective, are so great that the rumour goes for naught in our estimation, and we class it amongst those desirable accomplishments which, so far as our neighbour Jona than is concerned, he would like to attain, but which it is easier to talk about than to execute. "Since writing the above, we learn that a proposition has been made to the American Government, and ac ceded to by Congress, to allow the Canadian mails to traverse the American territory to their destination, without having to go through the American post-office. This arrangement, though it would supersede the em ployment of a steamer between Pictou and Quebec, and probably prevent the improvement of the land communi cation between the provinces, does not involve au altera tion in the communication with the mother cnnatry. The injury would be felt in a lesser degree." The Bank of England meeting has gone off satisfac torily, and the rest i s s t a t e d t o be kept up. The Funds have been quiet, but firm, this morning.

The Court ordered the name to be struck off the list. Henry Aimes was opp ose d on th e groun d o f 11,ot residing within th e p rescr ib e d li m it s o f seven mile s from Guildhall. The O r d nance map was pr odue d Ir. in court, and it appe ar i ng th a t th e res id ence of It; Aimes was within seven mil es i n a s t ra i g ht line, t a Court decided that the objection was groundless, a ° awarded him costs. Mr. Quin complained to the Court of the absent of some of the cl er k s o f th e C ompan i es.

G. T. Most •n Linister destroy either life or property, or both, at the residence ])aisy Field, Blackburn. It appears that a con siderable quantity of gunpowder was introduce into the lock, and through crevices in the door the train was partially tired, but not succcedu?g, it was again tried, happily without the demonlle result which the wretches evidently contemplated. It Is hardly possible to conceive the motive which could have dictated such a cowardly and ruffianly attempt nv of St. Michael s slaughter. Mr. Mostyn is, comparatively, a s trange c l i among us ; enemies h e h as none to his knowledge , h 3l ' what can have induced an attempt of this kind, whi t ' would disgrace even the savage barbarian, i s u tterly mysterious and unaccountable.—Blackburn Mercury.
