G REAT BRITAIN STEAM-SHIP at BLACKWALL. GRAVESEND STAR PACKETS leave the Brunswick Pier, Blackwall, at 11, 3, and 4 on Sundays at THE LATE REV. SYDNEY SMITH. Sydney Smith was born at Woodford, in Essex, in 1768, and, consequently, at his death, was 77 years of age. He received the rudiments of his education at Winchester, and was elected to New College, Oxford, in the year 1780, where, ten years afterwards, he obtained a fellowship ; but it was not until six years subsequent to the last-mentioned date that he took the ;degree of M.A. Some years afterwards he became tutor to the son of Mr. Beach, M.P. for Cirencester, and accompanied him to Edinburgh, where he remained for five years, during a considerable portion of which he officiated at the Episcopal Chapel in that city. At this time and place his career as an author may be said to have commenced; and amongst the earliest of his literary acquaintances were Lords Brougham, Jeffrey, and Murray. It was from a suggestion of Mr. Smith that one of the most famous periodicals in Europe originated. lie proposed to the noble and learned persons just mentioned—all of them still living —that they should unite with him in starting a review; and of that publication the subject of this memoir was appointed editor. Few readers require to be informed that the publi cation here referred to is one which has enjoyed almost unin terrupted popularity for a period of more than forty years, under the title of the Edinburgh Review. Very soon after the commencement of the Review Mr. Smith ceased to be the editor, for he removed to London, where - he settled in the year 1803, and in the 35th year of his age married the daughter of Mr. Pybus, the banker. Although Mr. Smith had now ceased to be the editor of the Edinburgh Review—although he had, as he himself modestly says," placed its ma nageme nt i n the stronger hand s of Lord Jeffrey and Lord Brougham," he yet continued to be one of its most active contributors, writing frequently on prison discipline, on the abuses and corrupting' influence of the game-laws, on transportation to Botany tay, on tolera tion, on Methodism, on education, on Irish bulls, mad Quakers, chimney. sweepers, counsel for prisoners, and a variety of other subjects. To the criticism of individual writers, or the estimate of literary character, he gave but little of his time or attention. The only person to whom he has devoted more than a single article was the celebrated Charles James Fox, a man for whom Mr. Smith's admiration was intense. In 1806, through the influence of the Whig Ministry, he was appointed to a living in Yorkshire, but he was not long settled there when the cry of "No Popery" expelled the Government of that day from the councils of the King, and Mr. Perceval ruled in their stead. It was then that the most popular of Mr. Smith's works made its appearance. The celebrated " Letters of Peter Plymley"—under which designation it was the pleasure of Mr. Smith then to write—went through so many editions that the anti-Catholic party stood aghast, and really trembled for Protestant ascendancy; but the citadel of the old constitution in Church and State was not so easily reduced. In the year 1831, during the Ministry of Lord Grey, the Rev. Sydney Smith became one of the canons I residentiary of St. Paul's. In 1829 he had received the rec- I tory of Combe Florey, in Somersetehire, a living the value of which is about 3001. per annum. Mr. Smith had by this time declined into the vale of years, and the pecuniary ad- I vantages derivable from the exercise of his literary powers had ceased to become an object to him; his pen was, there fore, in some degree laid aside, and he was not induced to re sume it till an occurrence took place which he regarded as a downright invasion of his property and of the r i g ht s o f d eans and chapters, which as a member of o ne o f th ose cor porations he had sworn to defend. This roused his ire against Lord J. Russell, and produced some pithy and amusing letters. His late letters on the honest Pennsylvanians are fresh in the recollection of our readers. They supply the most varied illustrations of knavery, the drollest sar casms on fraud, the most instructive satire on Republicanism, and at the same time furnish no imperfect specimens of the genius and character of the writer. The conversational wit ticisms of Sydney Smith would fill a jest-book ; but his cha racter will be estimated by posterity on far higher grounds. It will be remembered that he supported Roman Catholic claims, and that they were con ceded ; that he strenuously assailed the game-laws, and that they underwent great modification ; that he com pelled a large portion of the public to acknowledge the mischief of our penal settlements; that he became the advocate of the wretched chimneysweepers, and their miseries were alleviated; that he contended against many of the unjust provisions of the Church Reform Bill, and they were amended; that whereas, before his time, a man accused at the bar of a criminal court might be hanged before he had been half heard, now every prisoner has the benefit of a de fence by counsel. It will further be freely acknowledged, that no public writer was more successful than he in de nouncing a political humbug, or demolishing a literary pre tender ; that he was, on the whole, an upright and a benevo lent man ; and, as the world goes, a disinterested politician ; that he had opportunities of improving his fortune, which he nobly rejected; and that, having lived with unostentatious respectability, he died without accumulating wealth.— Abridged from the Times.

Dear Jack—We consider we cannot do better Than make a reply to your very kind letter. You say that you mean to continue the cold ; Now this is a pity—nay, think us not bold. You must recollect, Jack, that it's very near March, And time for the sun-rays to gild the blue arch. The primrose is waiting to put on his bloom, And the daisy is anxious to leave his dark tomb ; And thousands of persons are longing to don The lovely spring-garments of MOSES and SON. You tell us our garbs must, at once, be increas'd To a mighty extent—twenty thousand, at least. Now here we would beg to inform you, dear Jack, That we never forget to remember the back. With a stock such as ours, we've not any reason To fear the most sudden returns of the season. In the middle of summer our mart can afford Warm garments for customers living abroad ; So you see, Mr. Frost, if you still should persist In chilling the air with your cold and your mist, We've warm winter-garments in boundless supplies, Which happily spare us a sudden surprise. And now, with warm thanks for your hints, Master Jack, And hoping, sincerely, you'll soon turn your back, We beg to remain, as we always have done, Your obedient servants,—E. MOSES and SON. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! The Public are specially informed that, during the re-erection of E. MOSES and SON'S premises in Aldgate, the entrance to their Establishment is only at 154, Minories.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION at ONE CHARGE, juice, nor a syllable about sugar in solution; the co lonist may import, for ought the resolutions say to the contrary, fine white sugar in a solution of discoloured liquid, which colouring might be easily removed in this country, and such a solution would be admitted at the same duty as molasses. We have now concluded our remarks on the sugar resolu tions, as far as they relate to British sugars; we do not enter upon the duties on foreign sweet, because they are nothing more than a repetition of the same absurdities. Had the Minister proposed to reduce the duty on all muscovado sugar, we should have hailed the measure with joy, as a great benefit to the consumer, but when we find that the proposed partial reduction will cause the serious de ficiency of 1,300,000/. (and nobody knows how much more), as stated by Sir Robert Peel, and that that deficiency is to be made good by an income-tax, the case is altogether altered, and we should say, only reduce the sugar duties to that extent which would occasion no deficiency, and let us have no inquisitors to invade the privacy of our concerns. In fact, rather than have an income-tax, Sir Robert had better have left the sugar duties alone. There can be no question the sugar duties, as proposed by the resolutions, were conceived for the especial purpose of putting 2,600,0001. into the pockets of the British sugar producers, under the specious pretence of giving the consumer his sugar at three halfpence a pound cheaper—a prediction which never can be fulfilled by carrying these resolutions out. But submit the consumers must to the iniquity, because Sir Robert Peel com mands a majority consisting of monopolists. COUNTY MAGISTRATES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As hardly a day occurs without meeting with reports in the newspapers of the gross ignorance of Jus tines.of the Peace, perhaps you tiny not deem the fol lowing observations on the mode ef appointment of such dignitaries out of place, especially as a new commission has just issued. Justices of the Peace were originally elected by the people, under the somewhat diff eren t name of Conservators of the Peace. This, however, was taken from the public by King Edward 111., who took upon himself to appoint persons to fill this office, and then, first, such appointment w as called the King's commission. This was settled by all the judges in the year 1690, to issue under the Great Seal, and all justices are appointed by it, the Custos Rotulorum being the principal for his county, and the King for the whole kingdom. Thus it may be perceived that all justices are appointed by the Crown, and it is but natural for the mass of the public to suppose that they are carefully selected out of the rest of mankind for their great legal acumen, their sound practical knowledge of the laws they undertake to administer, and their general erudition. Such is a very pleasing theory, but let us see what is the practice. The Lord Lieutenant for each county re turns upon his own responsibility a list of fit and proper persons to the Lord Chancellor, who thereupon ap points them as a matter of course, doubtlessly supposing that in his situation the Lord-Lieutenant, never for one moment, has suffered himself to be acted upon by party bias or private motives. If the Lord Chancellor does believe this, I pity his incredulity, for it is notorious, that each Lord-Lieutenant, according to his political feelings, sends in a list of his own supporters, and, what is even worse, suffers the lowest relatives of his land agents, and other hangers-on, to be stuck in among the rest, together with the sycophantic holders , of kis livings, parties ready at all times to do his bidding, be it what it may ; and thus, to use the learned Black stone's words, " the extensive power of a justice of the peace, which, even in the hands of men of honour. duly qualified for so important a trust, is highly formidable, is prostituted to mean and scandalous purposes, to the low ends of selfish ambition, avarice, or personal resent ment ; and from these ill consequences we may collect the prudent foresight of our ancient law-givers, who suf fered neither the property or the punishment of the people to be determined by the opinion of any one or two men." These are the words of a writer nearly a hundred years ago, and may, with much greater force, be applied now, when the powers of magistrates are so extensively enlarged, and when everybody who tacks " esquire" after his name, be his mental qualification ever so low, and every parson on the same side of politics with the Lord- Lieutenant, is thrust into the commission of the peace, until, what were formerly a select few, have become a mob of petty judges—a set of men licensed, as it were, to dispose of the liberty and property of their fellow men, merely because they are ready to follow their patron through any dirty path he may select, and chance to have as much land as will give them one hundred pounds a-year. Really, Sir, if we were to read of such a mode of appointing judges amongst the Chinese or any other people we have been accustomed to look down upon, a smile of contempt fur their laws would instantly cross Gur features, and yet hero, in England, in the nineteenth century, a certain small sum of money per annum (if derivable from land, for, if otherwise, it has no such efficacy) has the miraculous power of rendering a man a fit and proper person to sit in judgment on the rest of mankind, and by a kind of legerdemain, to instil all the concen trated essence of legal knowledge—the multorum Ca melot-um onus the superabundance of my Lord- Lieutenant's own knowledge, into the heads of his subordinates. The clergy, too, the rpeacemakers of Government, the preachers of brotherly love, are un seemingly placed in the commission, and, I regret to say, are always the most severe, I may say savage, dispensers of the laws they are ignorant of. I was much pleased, some years ago, to hear the Lord-Lieute nant of a county, which shall at present be nameless, affirm that he had made up his mind not to place any more clergymen in the commission of the peace, and highly respectable parties who had applied for that honour were satisfied with this answer. Well, Sir, in a few years after, to the surprise of all, a parson, a near relative of one of the chief underlings of the custos, was appointed magistrate, and the door being once opened a whole shoal of small fry rushed in. So much for free dom from private motives and party bias ! With regard to the mode of the administration of the laws by their worships, I shall merely add that, for many years past, I have constantly attended at quarter sessions and magistrates' meetings, and, from long observation, I do not hesitate to affirm that the generality of county magistrates are acted upon by party feeling, and other motives foreign to their character as judges. Ido not for a moment mean to say that know ingly they do so, but it is impossible for men not legally educated, wholly to divest themselves of such feelings. In support of my assertion, look at the game convictions, peruse the appeals from magistrates' decisions, and lastly compare the punishment of offenders at quarter sessions with men tried for the same crimes at assizes. Should you, Sir, be pleased to give insertion to this somevi hat lengthy letter, I doubt not a host of heroes will jump up ready to defend the system hereby condemned ; but at this.l shall rejoice, for the more the matter is brought before the public eye, the more likely are we to have a remedy applied to the evil. I have been behind the scenes for nearly twenty years, and I could say much, but for the present I have done, and remain obediently yours, A BARRISTER AND ACTING MAGISTRATE. COURT CIRCULAR.

The betting, except in the instances mentioned, and in the appearance of Ould Ireland at 40, and Yheomun-ac-Knuc at 50 to 1, both taken freely, exhibits no striking features. In the course of the afternoon several bets were laid at some thing above the market price ; amongst these were 2,600 to 200 agst Semiseria, 2,000 to 100 agst Strathspey, 1,500 to 50 agst Winesour, and 5,000 to 50 agst The Dean.

POST-OFFICE IRREGULARITIES.—It was mentioned pub licly in the Subscription-room yesterday afternoon, that two or three instances have occurred in which letters, written by parties to their agents or friends at Manchester, have been opened before they got to their destination. We presume the matter will be inquired into, but, in the meantime, we would suggest the propriety of using more caution in sealing .them than is usually observed at " the corner." We were much struck with the beautiful "speci mens of New Zealand woods exhibited by the Company at their late meeting, and no doubt when known will soon be come generally used for decorative furniture. The Company kindly permitted the importer of these woods to show the different objects of furniture manufactured by him since his arrival in this country, and the combination of nature and art was most remarkable for novelty and beauty. A side board, ornamented with carved figures of New Zealand chiefs, was much admired, besides several smaller pieces of furni , ' tare. Mr. Levein, the importer, a very clever, intelligent cabinet-maker, was many years a settler at New Zealand, and is the first to bring these woods into notice; we hope he will be rewarded for his industry and tact. DUBLIN, FEBRUARY 23, 1845.—A curious circum stance has occurred here which has completely destroyed all confidence in the boasted secresy of the Railway Department of the Board of Trade. Mr. Fitzstephen French, who was the cencoctor of the railroad from Dublin to Galway, arrived here on the 20th inst., and stated publicly tbat the Board of Trade would certainly give the Galway line and refuse the Mullingar line, and which, incredible as it may appear, was confirmed by the arrival of the Gazette on the 21st inst., con taining their decision exactly as stated by him. What secret influence has been at work it is impossible for the public to divine, but certainly grave suspicion attaches somewhere, and the matter ought not to be allowed to rest where it is; nor will it, for the Directors and Subscribers to the Mullingar line are determined to proceed with their Bill without one moment's loss of time, and sift the facts before a Committee of the House of Commons. The advantages of the Mullingar line over that of Mr. French's are too palpable, and must be appreciated when fully before the public ; for the country through which the railroad is proposed to pass is rich and fertile in its resources, and is exceedingly populous, and only requires a facility of communication to bring those abundant resources to a profitable market. Should the arbitrary deci sion of the Board of Trade prevail, it is evident that great injustice will be done to a portion of Ireland, which, from its position, has stronger claims for r a il way f ac ili t i es th an any other part of it.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—W e have received, by the arrival of the packet-ship Cambridge, Captain Barstow, which reached this port at an early hour this morning, New York papers and advices one day later than those brought by the steamer. The debate in the House of Representatives on the Oregon Occupation Bill was suspended, the excitement in con nexion with the success of the annexation scheme had ex perienced a lull, and altogether affairs remained in statu quo The Washington correspondent of one of the journals, under date the 30th ult., remarks that the democracy of the House had become rather alarmed at their belligerent posi tion with regard to England, and expressed on that day a willingness to have the Oregon Bill modified, so as to make it conform to the treaty stipulations; and that their amend ment not being prepared, the debate was arrested for that purpose. The same writer gives the following outline of the debate in the House on the 30th ult. "The House to-day was occupied in the consideration o f the Oregon Bill, speeches being delivered by Messrs. Thomp son, of Mississippi ; M'Clerland, of Illinois ; and Owen, of Indiana, in favour of it ; and by Mr. J. R. Ingersoll and Mr. Elmer, against it. All these gentlemen maintained that our claim to the Oregon territory was perfect, though the two latter were not clear that it could rightfully be extended north of latitude 49 degrees ; and they, as well as Mr. Owen, were in favour of giving the notice to Great Britain required by treaty, before we attempted to establish a Go vernment on it ; and they expressed their convictions that not to do so could not but be highly offensive to Great Britain, and would be, on her part, a sufficient cause of war against us. Mr. Ingers oll b egged gentlemen to reflect thosegentlemen of the measure, but it this enr our commerce shall where this war that is so mu ch searched for is to be ca rr i e d on; it certainly would not be either in the distant territory west f o uOregon,onno werer the ever e t is t goh thes urgentlye h a so,m wherever homes eu o rs f ehvi g float, and throughout our whole Atlantic coast and on our north-eastern frontier; and he asked gentlemen if we were there prepared to meet,such an emergency."lt is stated that Mr. Calhou n remi▪ tted to Mr. Everett by the last steamer a most decided dispatch, demanding from our Government positive information relative to the refusal given by the authorities of Bermuda some time back to de liver up some slaves who, after mu rdering a family in Florida, escaped to the island. The Massachusetts Anti - A nn exation Convention, aft er adopting an address stating thei▪ r views, had adjourned sine die.

After other, but not ver y e xplicit evidence, the Co roner summed up. The .tw o fir st branches of inquiry, he stated, were quite satisfacto ril y a nswered, namely, the iden tity of the bodies and the means by which their death h a d been caused, which was cle arl y sh own to be the poison of arsenic taken in their tea ; BtEhlitsw mysterious . r iL l s but the third inquiry, as to how and by whom it had been administered, was the question of difficulty. lie carefully went over the evidence, and pointed out its bearings as it might affect the three individuals who only seemed to have had any means of access to it, namely, Mr. Montague, Mrs. Montague, and George May, and left it entirely to the jury to say whether any of these, and if any, which, could be in any way held to be culpable. After upwards of two hours' deliberation, the jury, about seven o'clock, returned a verdict " That the deceased persons came to their deaths by having taken the poison of arsenic in their tea, but by whom administered there is no evidence before them to show." SUGAR RESOLUTIONS. It is difficult to assign a reason why Sir Robert Peel should have decided, in his sugar resolutions, upon fixing a duty only of 14s. per cwt. on brown or muscovado sugar, except ing for the reason he himself alleged, that such reduction would bring down the price a penny and the fraction of a farthing per pound to the consumer, which, whether he knows it or not, is a fallacious position, because, if the con sumption exceed the supply from the British possessions (which he computes it will do), it requires no great stretch of sagacity to foresee that the ex-duty price of British sugars must rise to the extent of the differential duty between British and foreign sugars before the lat ter can be admitted into our markets, and so virtually inflict a tax of 235. 4d. per cwt. on all sugar: true, 14s. per cwt. only of this amount will find its way to the Treasury, and 9s. 4d. into the pockets of the British sugar producers; but, nevertheless, the consumer would have to pay the 235. 4d. per cwt., let that amount be divided how it may. This arrangement is annoying enough, even if the finance of the country would permit us so to en rich the sugar producers, but when it is found that the scheme injures the revenue to the extent of 1,300,0001., and that that deficiency is to be made good by an inquisitorial income-tax, which the people justly abomi nate, it becomes disgustingly objectionable. Better would it have been for the public, that Sir Robert Peel had left the sugar duties alone, than get us into the costs and difficulties described. After all, what does this reduction of duty on sugar, about which so much has been said, amount to as concerns the payments the people will have to make ? Why, as far as paying goes (and that is a main element in the affair), the consumers will be com- pelled to pay 235. 4d. per cWt. (never mind for the moment how it is divided) under the proposed sugar resolutions-and they have under the present law to pay 255. 3d. per cwt.- exhibiting a reduction of merely Is. lid. per cwt., which paltry sum will be absorbed long before the sugar reaches the consumer's hands. If all brown or muscovado sugar, without distinction of country or origin, had been admitted to our markets at 14s. per cwt., then the sup ply would have been equal to the demand, and the con sumers would have enjoyed the full benefit conferred by the reduction of duty. But now to the sugar resolutions. The Minister has proposed to fix a duty of 14s. per cwt. on all British brown and muscovado sugar; that is his starting point : it will be curious to investigate by what process of reasoning he has arrived at the various grades of duty he has affixed on different kinds of sugar, and how they stand as compared one against the other. Should the Minister have applied his mind at all to the subject, and not trusted to guesses, he must have divided the 1121 b. of muscovado sugar into six parts (six two-and-fourpences exactly give the amount of duty, 145.), four of which he treats as crys tallizable sugar, and two as refuse. He then assumes (for ho does not know) that that denomination of sugar. which he is pleased to call white clayed, or equal to clayed, will lose one-sixth, or 18A1b. out of each 1121 b. of muscovado sugar submitted to the process of clay ing, or of attaining the same degree of fineness by some other operation, and, therefore, argues he, in order to obtain 14s. on the remaining 93i1b., 2s. 4d., must be added to the muscovado duty of 14s. ; it is consequently forthwith deter mined that the duty on clayed, or equal to clayed, shall be 16s. 4d. per cwt. He has evidently forgotten while this cogitation has been occupying his brains, that some muscovado sugars are preferable to white clayed, shown by the price they bring in the open market. For example, Mr. Goulburn's Jamaica muscavado sugars, marked M G, command more money than some white clayed sugars. Again, brown St. Vincent sugar, clearly muscovado sugar, would be taken in preference, on account of the saccharine essence in it, to seine white sugars which had undergone some process to purify them ; here, then, is an anomaly. Muscovado sugars, superior to clayed, ad mitted at 14s. per cwt. merely because they are muscovado and inferior sugar charged with a duty of 16s. 4d. merely be cause it has been clayed. The next regulation refers to refined sugar, and contains a parcel of unintelligible jargon, such as, in loaf, complete and whole, or lumps duly refined, having been perfectly clarified, and duly dried in a stove, and being of an uniform whiteness throughout., or such sugar, pounded, crushed, or broken, fur every cwt. 18s. Bd. Can such an absurdity as the foregoing verbiage be matched in the United Kingdom ? So, before the duty of 18e. Bd. per cwt. can be levied on this class of sugar, the Custom-house officer will have to prove that all the above conditions have been complied with. And what will be the consequence, supposing he is satisfied that all the conditions have been acted on, except one-for instance, that the sugar had been dried in the sun, instead of the stove ? Why, the importer will have to pay the lesser grade of duty 16s. 4d., instead of 18s. Bd., per cwt. Sir Robert in adjusting this duty must have considered that in refining sugar one-third of it is driven off by the process namely, 3651 b., and that there would remain 75iIb. for which, in accordance with, his muscovado duty, he ought to have 14s. ; he therefore adds 4s. Bd., and fixes the duty on refined at 18s. Bd. per cwt., which exactly gives the 14s. for 7531 b. Then there is a resolution requiring 21s. per cwt. for double refined, or sugar equal in quality to double refined. Why, of course, the colonist would be careful to manufacture to that degree that, although not quite so good, it should be within a shade of double refined sugar. In some states of markets sugar so manufactured would command the same ex -duty price as sugar equal to double relined, but which could not be assessed at the 21s. per cwt., because it is a shade inferior to double refined sugar, and wou ld conse quently come in at the 18s. Bd. per cw t. Was there ever such nonsense concocted to rule the commercial transactions of a great nation in sugar? The fifth resolution proposes a duty of 265. per cwt. on • brown candy, and the sixth 355. per cwt. whitecandy. What quantity of white candy can the Minister im a g ine re sults from refining 1121 b. of muscovado sugar ? The seventh resolution relates to molasses, which it pro poses to admit at a duty of ss. 3d. per cwt. Now molasses is composed of sugar, treacle, dirt, and other make-weights ; and the duty has a lwa y s been apportioned to meet the weight of sugar in each 112,1 b. of molasses ' • here it is calculated that there will be 44.1:f., which at ss. 3d., just , comes out 14s. per cwt. the consequence is that the treacle is a d m itted duty free, and ever has been so, for the benefit o f the West Indians, although the hacknied plea has been set forth that it is for the benefit of the pool man. Not a word is set down in these resolutions about duty on cane IRELAND. DUBLIN, FEB. 23.—1 n the case of " Smith v. Yeates," which has attracted so much attention, the jury were in last night till eleven o'clock, and then, there being no probability of their agreeing, were discharged. This is equivalent to a triumph for the defendant, at the former trial a jury having given a verdict against him with 3001. damages. On the present occasion, the great majority of the jury were for find ing a verdict in his favour, but there were one or two recu sants who obstinately held out, and thus there has been no verdict. The action was for alleged seduction, accomplished through the defendant's position and influence as a magis trate. The defendant, in applying for a new trial, positively swore that the whole business was a conspiracy against him, and utterly destitute of any foundation in fact whatever. He put himself, consequently, on trial in the second instance not only for the alleged seduction, but for perjury. It is very fortunate that he has thus succeeded. Mr. I eates is a gentleman of fortune, and has been high sheriff of his county. The Cork Constitution says, that the reduction of the glass duty has already induced parties to seek for premises in Cork in which to carry on the manufacture extensively. Mr. Blake, paymaster of constabulary at Carlow, is sus pended as a defaulter in his accounts, and committed to Car low gaol, at the suit of the Crown. THE NEW ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE INDIA MAILS. —The mail just arrived is the first under the bi-monthly arrangement. The Hindostan left the Sand Heads, Cal cutta, with it on the 10th of January, and arrived at Suez on the 4th of February. A detention of twenty hours in Egypt occurred by the vessel on the Nile getting aground.

The mail dispatched from L on d on on the 24th will reach Madras on the 29th of the following month, and the steamer will leave Madras on her homeward route for England on the 14th of the month following, thus giving an interval of fifteen days between the arrival of the outward mail and the departure of the homeward mail. The dawk post between Madras and Bombay occupies six days, conse quently a letter can be sent from Madras to Bombay, can be answered from thence, and the reply be sent to Madras in sufficient time to meet the homeward bound steamer for England.

At the division in the French Chamber which took place oa Friday evening, 434 Deputies voted, 14 were absent front Paris, five were ill, two did not vote, and Marshal Sebastiani and M. Dupin paired off. The Committee on M. Duvergier d'Hauranne's motion for the suppression of the vote by ballot has agreed to its report.. It proposes that the opinion of the Chamber should be taken by dividing, and that the numbers be counted every time that a certain number of Members shall demand it. Should the recommendation of the Committee be adopted, there will be three modes of taking the opinion of the Chamber—let, the present mode, par aisle et !eve; 2d, by dividing ; and 3d, by the ballot. The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Berne of the 19th, from which it appears that the affairs of Switzerland. are becoming daily more complicated and more threatening. The Univers contains a proclamation of the Government of Lucerne, calling to arms the entire military population of the canton. The Gazette d'Augsbourg notices some rumours of contem plated disturbances in Italy, of which Gibraltar will be the focus. The same journal states that M. Guizot had given. instructions to the French Ambassador in Switzerland to pursue a conciliatory course, and that similar instructions had issued from Vienna and Berlin. It was reported that 400 Swiss, residing in Paris, had pro posed to volunteer against the Jesuits; but a letter, signed by 40 Swiss, addressed to the Sieele, denies, on the part of the writers, any such intention. At the meeting of the Spanish Cortes on the 17th. General Narvaez, in reference to the preaching of certain priests, said the Government had ordered an inquiry to be made, the results of which were as yet unknown ; but that, if such ex cesses had been committed, they should be chastised. " The Government," he added, "is aware that the enemies of the Government, of all parties, are conspiring against it, but it watches their machinations, and the sword of the law shall strike whoever shall dare to promote sedition, whatever mask he may assume." COURT—FASHIONABLE. The Queen and Prince Albert attended the French plays last evening. The Marquis of lleadfort and the Ladies Taylour have arrived in Chesham-place, from the family seat in Ireland, for the season. The Marquis of Salisbury has left town for Hatfield House, Herts. The Marquis of Bate shortly leaves town on a visit to Colouel-and,Baroness North, at Wroxton Abbey, near Ban bury. From thence the Noble Marquis goes to Car' Castle, his seat in Wales. The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield entertained Viscount Castlereagh, Count Alfred D'Orsay, the Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Anson, and a small party at dinner, on Sunday evening, at Chesteifield House, May-lair. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston received the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne, the Earl of Clarendon, Lord and Lady Beauvale, Lord and Lady Dalmeny, Colonel and Lady Mary Fox, Mr. Monckton Milnes, Mr. Panizzi, and a select party, at dinner on Sunday evening, at their mansion on Carlton-hen e-terrace. The Hon. Mrs. Norton has engaged a new residence in Chesterfield-street, May-fair, this season. It is the same mansion that was occupied by Mdlle. D'Este, last year. MISCELLANEOUS. The eighth annual meeting of the Tailors' Benevolent In stitution took place yesterday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen -street, Mr. Cutler in the chair. From the re port read by the Secretary, it appeared that during the past year the health of the pensioners in the Asylum, at Haver stock-hill, had been good, and that the inmates now amounted to 73. The funded stock belonging to the Society. was 11,3044 being an increase over the previous year of 178/. On account of the state of the funds, and the circumstance that at present the Asylum contained but one vacant room, the Directors had resolved to defer the usual election of in mates until August next. The receipts for current pur poses amounted during the year to 1,8831., and the expendi ' tare to 1,5001. We understand that among the numerous and distin guished individuals who intend to honour the ball in favour of the distressed needlewomen at the London Tavern to morrow (Wednesday) is the brave and kindhearted Mohan Lal, of Indian celebrity, who aided so materially in liberating our fellow-countrymen at Caubul. The statement that the Wedgwood copy of the Portland Vase was not an original, is contradicted on the authority of Mr. F. Wedgwood, of Etruria, who says that Josiah Wedg wood stated in his account of the vase and his copy of it, published in 1790, that he had the original lent him for more than twelve months by the Duke of Portland, and the casts he took can now be produced. The remission of the coal duties, according to a letter from the Board of Trade to the coalowners of Sunderland, will take place from the day on which the resolution shall receive the sanction of Parliament. Ferdinand Ilirschfield, Henrie Binck, and Isaac Ezekiel, Berlin wool-dealers, of St. Pancras-lane, City, and John Jones, an attorney's clerk, charged at Guildhall a few day's ago with defrauding Captain F. W. E. Burrell, of Grosvenor-terrace, Camberwell, of the sum of 2501., under pretence of entering into partnership, were on Monday re examined and again remanded. They,were liberated on bail. The civil business at the Hertfordshire assizes will com mence on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, instead of Monday morning, as originally proposed. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) HAT ATAIMMTS.

DISCOVERY OF TIIE " RED BARN" INCENDIARY: It will be in the recollection of our readers that a few weeks ago a young man from Polstead, named Samuel Stow, was committed for trial, charged with sending a threatening letter to William Bouttell, Esq., of that parish. Since the prisoner's commitment, Superintendent English, of Bury St. Edmunds, late of Polstead, has collected a mass of evidence to bring home the charge of setting fire to the Red Barn and other premises at Polstead, wherein Maria Martin was murdered by William Corder ; also to setting fire to a cottage belonging to William Hoy, Esq., of Higham, in the month of December, 1842 ; also in November, 1843, feloniously setting fire to the house and premises of Mr. William Tabor, at Polstead, when property to a considerable amount was consumed. The prisoner, on Tuesday last, was taken before Sir Joshua Rowley, Bart., the Hon. and Rev. Augustus Phipps, and Charles Dawson, Esq., at the Fleece Inn, Boxford, where the examination lasted the whole of the day, and created the greatest excitement in the town and neighbourhood. A host of witnesses were produced, before whom the prisoner had made voluntary admis sions of his guilt, and the evidence altogether was so con clusive that the magistrates fully committed the prisoner for trial upon all the charges at the next assizes. The greatest credit is due to Mr. English for his exertions in bringing to light these hitherto mysterious affairs, which at the time caused the greatest consternation. The author of the incendiary fires at Polestead has now been disclosed through the instrumentality of Mr. English, and no doubt his exertions will meet with th e rewar d th e y so justly merit. Hi s exertions about the neighbourhood of Bury St. Edmund's have il put i a stop to incendiarism i n th a t part of Suffolk.Fsser d.

Captain Duncombe, M.P., adjoining the residence of the Earl of Derby and Sir G. Talbot. The discovery was made by some of the domestics, in consequence of the building being gradually filled with smoke, and on their proceeding into the hall they found the flooring to be all on fire. The engines from Wells-street, King-street, and Baker-street were quickly in attendance, and on the firemen, named Loder and Horden, entering the hall, the flooring suddenly fell in,,the supporting beams having burnt away. They were immediately extricated from their dangerous situation, when they were found not to be severely hurt. In the meantime active measures were taken to stop the ravages of the fire, end Mr. Braid wood, the superintendent of the force, having arrived with more engines and men, the flames were prevented from ex tending beyond the basement. The furniture in the suites of rooms has, however, suffered much injury.
