When men who have once occupied eminent public station depart from among us, we are naturally led to consider what were the merits, the talents, or the measures by which that station was attained. In • cases, even, where a. long season of retirement has elapsed. since they quitted their public career, and where death has overtaken them in the privacy of domestic seclusion, this sort of consideration forces itself upon the minds of surviving contemporaries ; but where the defunct has expired in actual duty— dropping out of life from the very ranks, as it were, of official service—the matter is one that irresistibly challenges some such retrospect of the history of his public life. Within this last category, it is our lot to record the case of the Right Hon. Lord ABINGER, late . Chief Baron of the Exchequer, who was struck by a mortal illness whilst attending to his judicial duties on cir- THE SITN, LO:Likni&lst9,,koNt_rt Ay nvENTING 3 APRIL 1844, Association Mt. O'CONNELL thus expresses himself on the subject of the Bill in question :—" That the te- nant-at- will clause in the English Reform Bill, com monly called the CHANDOS clause, has been found, by experience, to work most mischievously, and, in fact, to destroy the independence of the English county voters. It is the worst species of franchise known in England, and, therefore, is brought forward as the principal franchise to be given to Ireland ; while the low rates of franchise existing in England have been most un justly taken away from the people of Ireland, and are, with a similar injustice, still retained from them. That another objection to the present Bill is, that it makes no provision for an increase of the representa tion of the Irish nation." When these objections come to be repeated by " the convicted conspirator" week after week ; when, dating from a prison, he en forces his objections by those impassioned and argu mentative appeali to the feelings and intelligence of his countrymen, of which he is so consummate a master, it is not difficult to foresee the effect which this martyr to the cause of Ireland will produce on the popular mind, and the additional—and perhaps also we might add, inextricable—difficulties in which he will involve his Ministerial opponents. We can scarcely anticipate any other fate for Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Irish Franchise Bill, than that which a 3 ear or two since befel Lord STANLEY'S Registration Bill. As Mr. O ' CONNELL upset the one, so will he now up=et the other, leaving to Government nothing but the sorry consolation of knowing that they have made him a " convicted conspirator." The repeal of the stamp duties on newspapers has been carried in the Chainber of Deputies by a ma jority of 6, the numbers being, for the motion brought forward by M. de MONTLAVILIA.:, 146; against it, 140. The proposal was strongly opposed by the Alinister of Finance on behalf of the Cabinet, princi pally on the ground that the revenue could not spare so large a'sum as that raised by the duty. We cannot allow the finding of the Coroner's jury on the late "Extraordinary Suicide in Fleet street," to pass out of public notice, without expressing our entire concurrence in the rebuke which that verdict embodied. So far as we can cvllect the facts from a perusal of the evidence, we certainly can arrive at no other but the appalling conclusion it so emphatically records. " That the deceased (a young woman) committed suicide whilst in a state of temporary in sanity, induced by the cruel and heartless conduct" —of a person who was described as a 8.D., and a cu , rate in holy orders in the Church of England—is the declaration upon oath of twelve respectable jurors resident in the immediate neighbourhood within which this catastrophe has happened. An evil sign of evil times—unhappily not an isolated one, but of a class of recent cases whose name is "Legion." The young man thus disgracefully reflected upon—having very coolly and circumstantially admitted a former guilty intimacy with the deceased—so deported him self in the course of his examination and testimony that the "finding" we have already quoted proceeded in these words :—" and we are compelled to express There is little intelligence from Italy in these papers beyond what has been already published. A letter from Stockholm, dated the 22d ult., com municates the death of the KING'S foster brother, General CAMPS, and gives the details of the post mortem examination of the remains of the late Mo narch : "General Camps, the foster brother of the late King, and who had fur many years been one of his Aides-de- Camp, has closely fullovved his master to the tomb. He died the day before ye sterday. Of all the French who came into Sweden with the Prince Royal in 1810, the General was the last survivor. The obsequies of the deceased monarch are announced for April 27. Our journals publish the report of the autopsy, made by the celebrated Retzius, in the presence of all the witnesses required by the ceremonial in such cases. Externally there is nothing anormal but the sears of a gun-shot wound in the head, and of a wound in the thigh from a lance; but it is ascertained that there was in the brain emollitio elba, or a softening of the fornix ; some serous effusions and morbid adhesions, and in the arteries of the lower members the ravages of the gangrena senilis.' The process of embalment is now going on. General Count de Lowenheim (our late minister at Vienna), is to be the bearer of the letters to the King of the French, and othi,r generals will carry them to London, Vienna, St. Petersbuigh, Copenhagen, and Munich. The States-Genetal are about to be convoked. The King will be crowned in Sweden in the course of the summer, and later in Norway."

The Coroner, too, in sum ming up, said that " he could not but find fault with this person's conduct towards the deceased, as ad mitted by himself on Monday last, who, on her ap pealing to him for his inttrcession, said, 'lf you confess that 3ou have robbed my brother, I will see what I can do for you.'" No evidence was adduced to lay any ground of probability for the cruel charge involved in this insidious offer. The counsel for the Divinity Bachelor affirmed that his conduct to the unhappy woman had been all that was generous and considerate. The evidence of a party who overheard the dispute between him and her on the night preceding the morning of the suicide, by reason of the thinness of the partition which separated the room of the listener from that cf the liti gants, was direct as to language addressed to the de ceased by the rung clergyman (!) of the most brutal and callous character. The whole story, as given by the young man himself, confirms the im pression avowed by the jury of the utter heartlessr.ess and cruelty with which he had conducted himself in this affair; and one feels that a more awful responsi bility attaches to him on account of the premature fate upon which the deceased precipitated herself, than even of the nature of the connexion which he had formed with her.

Mr. MARSH'S incontinency, and the Rev. Mr. DAY'S detestable propensity for cutting and maiming his neighbours' sheep—calls impera tively upon the hierarchy of the Established Church really to " set their house in order," at least to the extent of better regulating the moral and private cot/- duct of inferior functionaries. It is all very well for Primates and Bishops to deplore the insufficiency of any effective powers in the heads of the Church to enforce moral discipline and decorous, pious, and orderly living among their clergy; but the Church labours under one liability common to all other institutions connected with the State ;—if she be not speedily reformed from within, she will be rudely, but exten- sively reformed from without. Instead of attempting to juggle the public by such a Bill as that now before Parliament, professing to regulate and remodel the _ _ Ecclesiastical jurisdiction, Sir ROBERT PEEL should originate some bona-fide measure maturely adapted to such a purpose; and entrust its conduct (if he cannot retain its management himself) to hands beyond the reach of suspicion or the imputation of interested mo tives. This question must again be brought before Parliament and subjected to the most earnest and searching discussion. In like manner, if the Primates and Bishops of the Church be not in the meantime able to devise some better tests of moral competency and personal conduct prior to the ordination of clerks, or some surer guarantees for the due maintenance of these qualifications afterwards, the Church itself will speedily lose much of its hold on the affections and respect -of a vast proportion of its present flock. The cases of delin quency to which we more particularly allude are, we freely admit, disgraceful exceptions to the general rule by which the demeanour of the "order" is governed. But the truth is, that these ex ceptions hare become so numerous as to weary, to disgust and resentment, the outraged patience of the public. It is not in these times—in this country, at least—that such offensive exhibitions of immorality and misconduct, among a class to whom we are ac customed habitually to look for our examples of "piety and holiness of living," can be thus repeated with impunity. Society has little toleration to spare for vices or follies which are so injurious to its own best interests and private respectability. , But when they who indulge in them, under circumstances, too, that must necessarily bring the details of their cases before tl:e public, are found in the ranks of our clerical pastors, they must be classed among the most inexcusable and most mischievous offenders against public morals. A report prevailed in Madrid that, on the birth day of CHRISTINA (the 27th inst.) an amnesty would be proclaimed. Rumours are very prevalent of a serious misunderstanding between NARVAEZ and M. Got- ZALES BRAVO ; the former supports a return to an absolute Government, and the continuance of martial law ; the latter is disposed to resort to the forms of the Constitution. The part taken by the QUEEN.. MOTHER will probably decide which of the two will gain the ascendancy. RONCALI has announced his entry into Carthagena, in a dispatch to the Minister of War. He states that the chiefs of the late insurrection have escaped from the city, and that he has secured only a few of the subordinates, whom he deems unworthy of the bullets he had destined for the leaders. The Three per Cents. were done at 361 at sixty days, the Fives at 231 at sixty days. The French funds were slightly affected on Satur day by a report that an attempt had been made on the life of the Duchess of ORLEANS on the previous day. The following account of the incident that gave rise to the rumour is given in the Moniteur " This morning (Friday), at the church of Chauchat, a man, who was in the gallery, in front of that occupied by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Orleans, made some gestures which drew upon him the attention of the persons placed in the church to keep order. At the mo ment that they were ordering the individual to quit the church, he drew a very small dagger from his pocket, without, however, appearing to have any intention of using it. lie was taken out of the chapel, and recog racndovaesr, and aGer w m h a o n se b m y en b t ir a t l b iac w u h le who in arnge d en e e r r a a n l g r e e d. sid ” es in The account of the affair given by the Patrie rather varies from the above : " The commencement of the Bourse (says the Patrie) was greatly agitated to-day. People who pretended to be well informed, stated that the Duchess of Orleans had escaped becoming the victim of an assassin in going to pay her devotions at the new Evangylical church in the Rue Chauchat—that a man,:armed with a puignard, had rustled upon her, and that an officer in the service had . . . . warded off the blow by receiving it timseir.

The following hist, - ,ry of the la , ge which, by its bursting, oas the cause w the dreadful catastrophe on b,iard the Unit,al st amer, eten, is given in the report of the Naval Curt of Ingiory appointed to investigate the causes of the nt : "In the year 1839 Captain Stockton, ben in Eng land, his attention was attracted to the extraordinary and important improvements which had recently been in troduced into the manufacture of large masses of wrou:lht iron, as a substitute for castiron, for objects which required a combination of strength and adhesiveness, or tough ness. Large shafts for steam-engines had been thus fabricated, which experience had demonstrated to be supelior in those qualifies which were desirable, to the same articles manufactured of east iron. " These circumstances appear to have led Captain Stockton to consid , r the question how far the same ma terial might be employed in the construction of cannon of large calibre. He appears to have been animated by motires the most patriotic, stimulated by the laudable desire of being himself instrumental in promoting the honour of his country, and of elevating that brunch of the eervice with which he was personally connected. • " After much deliberation and several consultations, with calculations furnished from the same quarter, Captain Stockton determined upon the construction of a gun of the proposed dimensions, for the purpose of testing the opinions .of scientific men by the results of experience. A cannon was accordingly made at the Mersey works, of Yorkshire iron, which, being approved of, was shipped to the United States. Having been pro perly prepared for the purpose, this gun was carried to Sandy Hook and subjected to what was deemed the proper test. • After the first firing, preparations were made to mount the gun. In•doing this a crack was per• ceived opposite the chamber, which induced Captain Stockton to have the breech strengthened by putting bands around it. These bands are represented as being three- and-a-half inches in thiCkness. With this addi- Goma strength given to the defective part of the gun, the experiments were renewed, and the result w, , s a decided conviction upon the minds of all connected with them, that, in general, the anticipations of Captain Stocktor. were perfectly"' realised ; and, secondly, that if a gun of this construction should yield to the force of the trial, it would be by a simple opening, and not, as in cast iron,.a violent disruption and scattering of the fragments. "The success of these experiments was such as to decide Captain Stockton feithwiJi to direct the eon 4ruction of another gnu of a similar charact,r, to be made of American iron, which is usually regard! d as • superior in strength and tenacity to the English iron. This second gun (the same which exploded on board the rrinceton) was constructed with a chamber similar to that of the first gun, with an additional th;chness of twelve inches at the breech—a difference, even if the metal were only of equal goodness, far more than suffi cient to compensate fur the bands by which the first had been fortified. " Application was made to Colonel Bomford, of the ordnance department of the army, who. it is well known, has been profes.sionally occupied in ‘xperimenting upon guns of a large calibre, and his opinion requested as to the proper proof to which sueh a gun ought to be sub jected. The proof ste!gested by Colonel Bom'ord as a suitable one, will be found in his letter of November 25, 1840, appended to the record. The new gun con structed by order Of Captain Stockton exce,A , d in di mension and weight, consequently, should also have surpassed in strength that contemplated by Colonel Bomford, they being of the same calibre, and the proof to which this cannon was subjected was much more set ere than what was proposed as• sufficient by that ex perienced officer." The Aurora says, " the yuuns4 man sPnteneed to &.a.th for aiding in the escape of a geadroutl slave has been pardoned by the Governor of South Carolina. lie is, however, to be pubhc'y whipped." cult, and expired, after a Cew days' confinement, yes- ; terday afternoon. As Mr., and afterwards Sir JAMES SCARLETT, he was for a long course of years prior to 1835 (when he was created Baron ABINGER), a distinguished member of the House of Commons. Up to the period of Mr. CANNING'S Administration, formed in April 1827, his Lordship had been, avow edly, a Whig. He sat with the Whigs, he voted with them ; he was, for the most part, a warm oppo nent of the Government of the Earl of LtvzierooL, which, established in 1812, endured until February, 1827. In April of the latter year, Sir JAMES SCAR LETT succeeded Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, as At torney-General to Mr. CANNING'S Government; and he occupied that office, beyond the Pre mier's demise, under the Earl of RIPON'S Administration, until January, 1828, when he re , signed. In May, 1829, however, the Duke of WELLINGTON being Prime Minister, he was a second time appointed Attorney-General, in the room of his former predecessor, Sir C. WETHERELL, who, also, had been a second time appointed, on the demise of Mr. CANNING, and had retired on his Grace's taking office. Sir JAMES, in his turn, once more gave up this distinguished office on the coming in of his former political friends, in November, 1830, under Earl GREY. In December, 1834, when Sir R. PEEL re ceived the seals of the First Lord of the Treasury, Sir JAMES SCARLETT was appointed to the Chief Barony of the Exchequer, and in the following year he received his peerage. From this brief review of his official and public career it may be surmised—and the sur mise would be but too well-founded—that the de ceased judge was neither a very pure Whig, nor a very decided Conservative—that he who was ostensibly the confidential legal adviser of the generous-principled, the liberal-minded, the English spirited CANNING, could not have really filled the same position, and frankly discharged its relations, to that Minister—of far inferior capacity and character—who had trodden, so to speak, over the mighty form of his deceased, but more illustrious colleague, into the vacant seat of power. The truth of history requires us to admit that the Parliamentary career of the late Lord ABINGER was of a nature fraught with signal mischief to the influence of great constitutional prin ciples. It tampered with some of the dearest rights of popular freedom. It vacillated between the love of office and the loyalty of party. For we are not afraid to avow our deep conviction that no more salutary con trol can be devised to insure political morality in public men, than that profession of political faith which is vulgarly called the declaration of party. It is assumed to be founded, and ought to proceed, on the mature examination of such elementary principles as are essential to the guarantees of private rights and public liberty. This is an end, in which all good and patriotic men must at all times concur. The true means to that end may be, at any time, a subject of legitimate and conscientious difference and dis pute among them. But they who, upon examination and conviction, have once determined that the popular tendencies of Whiggery are the most nearly identified with the spirit of our Constitution, and the social and political advancement of the empire, cannot, without incurring grave suspicions of their sincerity, turn round upon such principles of action, and record their adhesion to a Government founded on high Tory maxims of government. Now, no man can deny that there was all this amount of discrepancy between the liberalised—we might call it the emancipated—policy of MT. CANNING'S Go vernment, as contrasted with that of Lord LIVER POOL, and between the Government of the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir R. PEEL, as collated with that of Mr. CANNING. We remember, that on the odious "Six Bills " of Lord CASTLEREAGH'S introduction, which were insolent, but insidious, invasions of the rights of free discussion, of public meeting, of public petitioning, of personal immunity, of the doctrine of Ministerial responsibility and public control over official action ; the language and the votes of Mr. SCARLETT halted between large pro fessions of abstract constitutional opinions,—and dan gerous concessions to proposals for their practical discouragement and defeat. Mr. SCARLETT was at all times too strongly imbued with the impressions and doctrine of a high prerogative lawyer to be a good Whig ;—we do not concern ourselves to know how far his Whig habitudes and associations damaged his Tory or Conservative utility. We shall always in sist upon the fact, that his conduct was to be deplored for the sanction it afforded to that laxity, or facility, of political principle, the example of which became a sort of epidemic in succeeding years. • At the bar, as a leading counsel, the name of SCARLETT will ever stand among the highest on the list of accomplished, astute, and winning advocates. His knowledge of men, which was extensive and well digested, he brought to bear on what always aptly termed his " management " "of jurors ; and his capacity in this art was pro rhund. He wielded it through a long and dis tinguished forensic career, with a success absolutely InarvPllous. It would have conduced much to his reputation as a judge, could he have forgotten, on the bench, the habits of thinking and modes of arraying facts and evidence which had achieved for him so signal a reputation at the bar. But on the seat of justice, Lord A BINGER always appeared, to us, haunted by a sort of involuntary partisanship; and if this was the error of his judicial conclusions, he was liable to occasional errors still more grave, both of temper and discretion. We are loth to exceed, in our notice of the dead, the limits of a temperate and even a lenient censure; nevertheless, we cannot abstain from re marking, that, were we personally interested in the posthumous reputation of the deceased nobleman, we should have been better pleased that his career had closed upon him as Sir JAMES SCARLETT than as Lord ABINGER; and better still if on Mr., than on Sir James, SCARLETT. The Irish papers give most glowing accounts of the enthusiasm with which Mr. O'CONNELL has been re ceived on his way to Cork, where he is to be enter tained at a magnificent public dinner. At every town and village through which the " convicted conspira tor" passed, the people assembled in vast crowds, and testified their unabated confidence in him by repeated bursts of acclamation. " I have had many opportu nities," says an eye-witness, writing to a Morning Contemporary on the subject, " of observing the manner in which the Liberator was received when journeying through the several districts of Ireland during the period of the monster-meetings, but on no one occasion have I ever seen a more enthusiastic reception given him, than that which he has this day received as the convicted' for conspiring' to liberate his native land by re storing her legislative independence." This strong manifestation of national sympathy for Mr. O'CON NELL at a ticklish period like the present, is another of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Irish " difficulties," greater, if possible, than any that he has yet encountered. In what spirit will he meet it—by what means will he overcome it ? He has already tried his utmost to cripple the power of the " convicted conspirator," and the only result of his strenuous efforts has been, to arm that " conspirator" with more power than ever. Influential as Mr. O'CONNELL is, while at liberty to go where he pleases, and address enormous masses of his countrymen :whenever he sees fit to do so ; he will be infinitely more influential when confined within the four walls of a prison, for to admiration of his talents and confidence in his sincerity, will then be added a deep, heartfelt sympathy in his fate. Ireland will be continually bearing in mind—and the reflec t tion will render Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government still more odious than ever in her eyes, and reduce it to a completer state of insignificance than it is in even at present—lreland, we say, will bear in mind that it is for her that Mr. O'CosusELL is suffering imprison ment—that it is for her he is debarred from the fresh air of Heaven, and the enjoyment, so dear to him, of a stroll over his native mountains; and this thought incessantly fermenting and sinking deeper in the national mind, will arm the object of it with a moral influence compared with which that of the Govern ment will appear an absolute nullity. The Tories have always been famous for their dexterity in building up brick walls against which to run their own heads, but they have never exhibited their skill to greater advantage than in the present instance. Instead of crippling Mr. O'CoissiELL—as they fondly hoped they would do by their State trial —they have armed him with fresh means for annoy ing them. Already we perceive he has entered his protest against their Irish Franchise Bill, and his opinions on this subject will now be regarded with more implicit deference and respect than ever.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY NIGHT. nn o ei. The packet-ship M ontezuma, Captain Lowlier, ar rived here this a f te rnoon from New York , whence she sailed on the 18th, seven days after the Virginian, that reached this por t on Mond ay. The lamentable accident of the bursting of the gun on board the Princet on had be en examined into and reported upon by a committe e of naval officers ap pointed for the purp ose. Their report describes the calamity to have be en entirel y accidental , and it exo nerates the captain an d o thers connected with the vessel from all blame . as Texas s d i s tssingailibeing discussed w ith muc h wa r m th, i nco rporation with th e U n it e d St a t es .

Thi s treaty. will have to be submitted to th e Sena te for ratification , whe r e , o. and. it is The President is said that the accounts also say, it is sure of a favourable .Yecep tion. The subject had been taken up in tl.e House of Representatives ; but nothing was elicited respect ing the movements of the Executive. Mr. Webster, who is adverse to the project, had published a letter, making,his views known ; he regards the union as already too unwieldy, and to extend it to Texas would, he conceives, seriously weaken its present stability. One of those distressing calamities which appear to prevail on the American waters to a greater extent than in any other part of the world—a steam-boat collision—occurred at Old River, and is fully detailed in the New Orleans papers. The loss of life is stated to he between sixty and eighty. One of the bo its sunk almost instantly, the others escaped without injury; the accident happened at midnight, when the passengers were, for the most part, in bed and asleep. Amongst the sufferers were a considerable number of negroes. Disturbances had taken place at St. Domingo, in which some officers of the Government had been killed, and others, on a more extensive scale, were apprehended. The House of Representatives, in Pennsylvania, had, instead of making an effort to retrieve the cha racter of the State, by paving the interest on their ock, passed a resolution against free-trade and a ow tariff, as being likely to afflict the country with a auper population! The papers contain an account of a duel between two newspaper editors at Vicksburg, in which one of the parties was killed. Duels in other parts of the country are detailed. Business at New York, when the packet sailed, was brisk, and money abundant. The Cotton Market was quiet, and all speculation in the staple had ceased. MONEY MARKET, MARCH 16. (From the New York Commercial Advertiser.) The public expectation has been somewhat disap pointed by the course of proceeding of the Le g islature of the defaulting States, in relation to a resum p tion of payment of the interest upon their indebtedness. A considerable degree of confidence had been felt that the improvement in the general business of the country would excite a more honourable feeling in the popula tion of these States, and that the Members of the Legis latures would be authorised by public opinion to impose additional taxes, in order to make due provision for that purpose. The adjournment of the Legislature of Indiana, with out showing any disposition to restore the credit of the State, had the effect to check the feeling of confidence in regard to the perfection of any measures by other States at their present sessions. The Le g islature of Maryland have now adjourned, wi thout accom p lishin g anything, although various measu res had been under discussion. What Pennsylvania may do it yet uncertain. Upon her action depends, in a great degree, the estima tion in which our State securities and our national cha racter will be held abroad. We cannot but indulge the hope that the measures which have been proposed, or others designed to accomplish the same object, will yet be adopted, and a beginning, at least be made towards DEATH OF LORD ABINGER. BURY ST. EDMUND'S, APRIL 7.—Lord Abinger is dead. His Lordship expired this day (Sunday), at pre• cisely a quarter before two, P.M. His death was tran quil. Lady Abinger and his Lordship's physician left Bury for town about six o'clock. The remains of his Lordship Will be removed on Tuesday. As all matters connected with the Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer are now subjects of history - , it may be interesting to state that the present Lady Abinger was formerly Mrs. Ridley, the widow of the late Rev. Mr. Ridley, of Oekley-green, near Ripley, who,e hus band was a descendant of the celebrated Protestant martyr, Bishop Ridley. .Among other relics of this pious individual in the possession of Lady Abinger, is the chair in which he used to study.
