In the House of Commons, the Marquis .of BLAND roan took his seat for Woodstock. Mr. lIUME gave notice of a motion for abolishing the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Mr..)ltt,si ES gave notice that, on Friday next, he would ask Sir R. PEEL whether the new front o f the British Museum had been definitively agreed on, with a view of moving for a Select Committee to consider the plan. Mr. T. DuNewlin: gave notice of a motion for Thursday fortnight, to appoint a Select Committee to ascertain what Members had been returned to Par liament by Peers or other persons. the The great affair of the jening__charge against M r . F E RRAND—was then broughtfir: . ‘ o •ard 1)y S J A MES GRAHAM, who moved that the passage s in n t the Times new s p a p er, in whi ch Mr. I ERR ViD brought charges against himself and Mr. should be read by the Clerk at the tabl e . The pas sages were read by the Clerk, when S ir Ronvarr FEEL, after referring to three precedents, moved that, the House, on Friday next, take the matters of com plaint into consideration, and. that Mr. FERRA\D be ordered to attend in his place, in order. to state whe ther the passagei are correct, and also if he thinks Ct to bring proof of the charges. Lord JouN RUSSELL entirely concurred in the course proposed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, Mr. FRENCH objected to the motion. The pas sages read did not bear out the charge that Sir JAMES GRAHAM tampered with Mr. HOGG ; and, besides, it was a dangerous precedent that a Minister of the. Crown, backed by a majority, should take upon him self to put down a man who ventured to bring a charge ,against him. Mr. T. Duxcomnt thought the puhliAher of the paper was the offending party. Now, however, he thought the most proper course would be, to refer the /natter to a Committee, and if Mr. FERRAND failed to substantiate his eharges, then it would be for the House to exercise its undoubted authority. Mr. D'IsRAELI acquitted Mr. HOGG of all blame, disapproved of the language used by Mr. FERRAND, but thought he had received a great moral lesson, and it would be better to let the matter drop. After speeches from Lord Jour - ALtrinzs, who THE SUN, LONDON, TYIURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 25, 1(344. moved the previous question, Mr. SMYTHE, and Mr. 1 ROEBUCK, displaying some new political features, and also some personal allusions, Lord HOWICK depre cated the - course proposed: It would, in his opinion, be better to pass over the affair in silent contempt, and follow the example set by the House when the Member for Knaresborough made a similar un founded charge againSt•Mr. COBDEN. After Slime remarks feora, other Members, Lord JOHN MANNERS withdrew his'amendment; and the original motion was agreed to. The 'County Coroners Bill went through Commit tee ; and, while Mr. FRENCH was making a motion respecting the Dublin jury lists, the House was counted out, at a Quarter to Eight. There is nothing so infectious as a row. It is more catching even than the small-pox. Tuesday's proceedings in both Houses of Parliament form an apt illustration of this assertion, for about the same time that the Commons were engaged with the squabble between Messrs. FIIIIRAND and HoGo, the Lords were engaged in listening to an equally edifying squabble between the Duke of RICHMOND and the Earl of RADNOR. The row com menced by the Noble Earl asking his Grace whether a certain pamphlet, published under the auspices of the Pro-Corn-law League, was really sanctioned by them, "for in his opinion, a more dis creditable work never emanated from the press." There was surely no great offence in this question ; yet the Noble Duke instantly fired up at it, and re plied—with as much acrimony as if he himself had been the' author of the vituperated pamphlet—that he " felt that the proper course to adopt was not to an swer so paltry a question, further than to say that be thought the work a most excellent one. He thought his Noble Friend was quite as much in error in the . present instance, as he was when he last attacked him.. The author of the pamphlet was long known, and although of similar politics to the Noble Lord, yet he did not seek to destroy the agriculture of the country. It was true the Noble Lord had taken the chair at a late meeting of the Anti-Corn law League, where he certainly exhibited as a great actor, and therefore it was natural that he should wish to impugn a document which so successfully exhi bited the Anti-Corn-law League in its true colours." This is hard hitting, especially the insinuation that the Noble Earl was one of those who sought to " destroy the agricul ' tore of the country ;" yet it does not seem to have produced the impression which his Grace evi dently anticipated from it, for the House, instead of laughing, or cheering, or evincing the slightest sym pathy with his disinterested wrath, heard him with the most frigid indifference; and as for the object of all this acrimonious bitterness, he sat by smiling and unconcerned, and apparently entertaining not the slightest notion that the Noble Duke had been endea vouring to extinguish him by his sarcasm! His Grace nettled, we presume, at the idea of having expended his righteous choler in vain, wound tip his philippic by the following alarming threat For his own part he would say, in reply to the observations of his Noble Ifriend, that he would never leave the Agricul tural Protection Society until they had completely succeeded in putting down the Anti-Corn-law League, than which he believed there never existed in Englana a more unconstitutional body." This is, in deed, a inenace of tremendous significance ! Hear it, ye COBDENS and BRIGHTS, and all ye minor lumi nries Of the League, his Grace of RICHMOND will never desist from his labours, until he has " succeeded in putting down" your confederacy ! Close as wax wilt he stick to the Agricultural Protection Society, until he has trampled you, by means of that wonder ful Society, into dust, ground you to atoms, and scattered you to the four winds of hea ven We can imagine the consternation that this ducal menace will produce" among the members of the Anti-Corn-law League. We can imagine, also, the wailing and gnashing of teeth, and the strewing of sackcloth and ashes on the head, that it will occasion in Covent-garden—the tribulation and despair of the audience, the subdued and faltering tones of the speakers, conscious of their approaching extinction. In mercy to a meek and unoffending confederacy, we implore this tremendous Duke not to carry his dreadful resolution into effect. If it be absolutely necessary to his happiness that he should extinguish some man or body of men, in Gore's name let it be Sir ROBBAT PEEL, and the mem bers of:her MAJESTY'S Government, and not the Anti- Corn-law League ! What harm has this amiable con federacy ever done to him ? It has never, that we know ef, falsely and wickedly accused him of being a statesman of superior capacity ; it has never ip far sported with the sacred interests of truth as to express its conviction that he has two ideas in his head ; on the contrary, it has always made a point of doing strict justice both to his motives and his un derstanding ; and to our thinking, it seems to be the blackest possible act of ingratitude that he should now strive to blot it out from the book of political life. It is to be hoped that Mr. CUARLES BULLER, or some other Member of the House of Commons, who has devoted an adequate portion of his own time and his powers of investigation to the study of our colo nial relations and policy, will speedily bring before Parliament a series of definite and practical propositions for the extension and consolidation of the one, and the exposition of the other. Of all the political res ponsibilities attaching to that foremost rank which Great Britain occupies among the nations composing the dominant Governments of Europe, those which regard her parent and protectress position toward her immense colonial possessions and settlements in Asia and America, in Africa, New Holland, and the Southern Ocean, ate among the most enormous and the most sacred, . Beyond doubt, of all the systems of depart mental administration which ever aspired to the de signation of a scheme of " policy," that upon which our "empire beyond sea" has been conducted, from the accession of the house of BRUYSWICK to the pre ,ent time, has been the most undigested, ill combined, conflicting, wasteful, and ignorant. We write this advisedly. Not is it any answer to the charge —any disproof of the accusation we bring against a scheme of management so destitute of principle, so innocent of consistency, so capricious, disjointed, and uncertain as our Colonial Government has been and still is—to point to the rapid growth of this or that colony—to indicate here, the astonishing increase of trade—to in sist there, on the prodigious extension of . revenue. That young colonies should wax vigorous and opulent despite the - erroneous treatment they may receive at the hands of the distant mother country—that the remotest offshoots of the _lmperial State should flourish and make progress in the remotest regions of another hemisphere,—these are anomalies which only show that, under _ favourable conditions of circumstances, the develOpment of thei: power and resource:, may advance steadily and surely, although neglect, misma • nagenient, or incapacity at home may have done their hest to impede their march and restrain their inhe- . rent energies. But that colonies or settlements, with an ample commerce and pernianent sources of public income, neither few in number nor meagre in their amount, should be unable to meet the burden of their own expenditure, or to maintain unimpaired domestic peace and . tranquillity within their own boundaries ;—these are facts which inevitably pre suppose vices of home administration, the - corruption or incapacity of local legislatures,•or the misconduct, excessive staff, or excessive pay of the Colonial Exe cutive. annually contempl a ti onall of the enormous sums which are charged on the revenues of the United King dom ( w h e th er on the Consolidated Fund, or on certain duties on colonial and other produce), to make good tke balances in excess of expenditure over income, in some of our richest and most important colonial possessions ; and of the large votes annually passed by the British Parliament (in one class of the )liscellaneous Estimates) on account of Colonial Services ;—this will suffice to justify the language we have applied to the general results of our Colonial Government. We do not propose here t o po i nt out the most eligible course of proceeding for the attain ment of an object so extensively beneficial in its b eageneral revision of the existing sy s t em oftrihantgsasa Government, and its administration. But we could not propound, either to the Learned Member for Liskeard, or any gentleman of the same class of qualifications, an undertaking more worthy of his research and sagacity, his industry, his legal know ledge, and that sound good sense which is the pri mary element of all statesmanship. The revision of many commercial statutes—now operating as absolute interdicts on the commerce of some colonies, or elaborately depriving others of commodities and supplies which they most need, 'and of which it was obviously our true wisdom to facilitate their acqui sition ; the more extended encouragement to be given by specific remissions of existing duties and imposts on native produce ; and the opening up more liberal and extensive markets in the ports and harbours of our colonies for the commerce of the world, by retaining no protecting duties in favour of the mother country not absolutely essential, or not beyond the point to which they - may be proved essential to the protection of British manufactures, merchandise, &c., against the competing merchandise and manufactures of the same kind, imported under foreign flags ;—these would be some of the more im portant details in any such scheme of colonial revision as we would call for. The assimilation of local laws, customs and usages, currency and money, to the greatest extent which may be expedient or practicable, would form another, though more gradual, operation in the range of such a plan. But such a plan—ably carried out to the full extent to which it would necessarily expand—would embrace, concurrently with the amelioration and enlargement of our trade, guarantees of the very highest importance as to political and territorial interests. We should cease to hear of the absolute non-application or the partial diversion of duties levied—in some instances during almost a century past—for the reparation of forts and the improvement of harbours, which duties have too often, been, after strict collection in the West Indies, shamefully and illegally applied to very different purposes in England. In this way n system of revision and reform honestly discussed; ably or ganised, and impartially and fearlessly carried. into execution would ensure, both to the colonies and the mother country, in peace, all the advantages and the I wealth derivable from a greatly extended commerce ; in war, all the benefit and protection of forts, batteries, and harbours in an effective condition for defence and occupation. There is no question but that whoever shall undertake such a task as we' have sketched out for him, must propose to himself certain distinct, well considered principles of economic as well as imperial policy,frorn which he must not be lightly moved by an tagonistic claims of East and West India, Windward and Leeward Islands, Jamaica, and Mauritius interests. Giving due consideration to all, he must not be seduced into exclusive preferences for any; and for any tempo rary which he maydraw upon himself frompar ticular.quarters, he will be abundantly compensated by the reflection of having laboured to procure for the entire empire the incalculable advantage which must flow from the calling into more unobstructed action its immense, and hitherto much mismanaged, colonial resources, by a system combining something like harmony of working with unity and compatibility of design in its principles. To the want of such a general scheme of colonial policy are attributable the anomalous condition of New Zealand ; the insecurity of a part of our Cape territory; the decline of Australian prosperity in many of our New Holland settlements ; the aggres sive encroachments of the Dutch upon our commerce in the Indian Archipelago ; the hazardous position of our interests in the Oregon ; a vast proportion of our Canadian difficulties ; and the loss of our most profitable branch of the gum trade in Western Africa. Accounts from Madrid of -the 16th state that the QUEEN, with her mother and sister, would shortly leave for Caldas, a watering-place, about seven leagues from Barcelona, in consequence of the advice of her physicians. On that day NAEXABZ reviewed 8,000 troops on the plains of Alcoron. Several of the jour nals state that hostile demonstrations are made along the French frontier by the Carlists ; and, according to the Phare des Pyrennees, several Carlist refugees, who furtively quitted the residences assigned to them in France, have been arrested at Bayonne by the authorities, and forced to return to the depots in the interior of the country. A correspondent, who writes from Perpignan on the 17th, says, the numerous ar rests of Carlist refugees along the French and Spanish frontier, are connected with the discovery which the Spanish Government have made of an extensive con spiracy. The Three per Cents. were done at 361 for cash, and 37 at 60 days ; the Four per Cents. at 20 for cash ; and the Five per Cents. at 22k for cash, and 23 at 60 days. ___ If the Paris Opposition journals are to be believed, considerable discontent prevails in the army. Some weeks since part of a regiment in the garrison of Paris was shipped off to Africa for an attempt at mutiny; and, according to the National, similar symptoms have manifested themselves in some regiments quar tered in the south. At Toulouse several non-com missioned officers had been arrested, and the regiment to which they belonged had been ordered to proceed to Perpignan, Toulouse being regarded as a place little favourable to the present dynasty. Arrests also had taken place in the Bth regiment of Artillery, which had been marched from Toulouse to Besanqon. No cause is assigned for this disaffection. These journals still dwell at considerable length on the Otaheite affair, but from all accounts the public are quite sick of it, and there is little chance of any further discus sion in the Chamber on the subject. On Monday the Chamber of Peers commenced the debate on the Edu cation Bill, when the Marquis of Boissr attempted to divert the Chamber from the subject, by putting ques tions to the Government about the dispatches of Ad miral DUPETIT THOUARS. The PRESIDENT called him to order, and the debate proceeded. The KING had left Paris for Dreux, where he was expected to re main for a day. The Funds continue firm. On Mon day the Five per. Cents. closed at 1221. 40c., and the Threes at 83f. 70c. The Armoricain of Brest thus adverts to the visit of the Prince DE JOINTILLE to that place : " On Tuesday, the 18th, his Royal Highness inspected the transatlantic steam-packets Christophe Colombo and Canada. The Prince then went through every department of the Arsenal, examining all the details with great precision. He afterwards went out to the roadstead, and inspected the naval school on board the Borda. Not being expected, the pupils were engaged at their different studies and occupations. He would not allow them to be interrupted, but went down among them, and while they wore at work examined their progress, and required an account of the conduct of each. The report made to him being very favourable, he requested as a personal favour that all those under punishment should be pardoned. Commander Prddour replied that he could not accede to the gracious request of his Royal Highness, for it happened that there was not a single pupil in the predica ment of availing himself of it. The Prince expressed his satisfaction, and declared that he would consider of some other means of showing his gratification. He then proceeded to the Pluton, on board of which he was to make his excur Sian. On Wednesday he went out in the Canada, accom panied by the Christophe Colombe, to make the trial trip, and was, it is said, fully convinced of the superior powers of their engines. On Thursday he embarked in the Pluton and sailed for Rochefort." embled round the mosques, uttering cries, and arising heinselves with stones and sticks. Riza-Pacha had some difficulty in escaping, and even left in their hands one of the skirts of his coat. On some points the. troops were obliged to give way, and the prisoners escaped. however, the haul was a good one, and only some hundreds got off. A cir cumstance occurred which calls to mind the proceedings of the thieves of Canton, in order to pillage houses and carry off goods, notwithstanding the measures taken by the English to prevent them. All the Albanians who were at Constanti nople having got wind of the matter, hit on a mode of escap ing from it. They got several coffins made, divided them selves into so many sections, placed their arms in the coffins, and every day funerals of some Albanians were teen to defile' through the streets of the city ; four carried the coffin on their shoulders, the rest followed. They were allowed. to _pass, and, once outside the walls of Constantinople, they resumed their arms, and took to right. Not a single one,remained iu the city. Last Sunday, whilst-the Sultan was repairing to the Mosque of Sultan Ahmed, on the anniversary of the Pro phet's birthday, a crowd of women met him on his passage,. and uttered loud complaints and accusations against Riza- Pacha. It is believed that the measure which he has just taken, and which has caused great dissatisfaction, will shake his credit with the Sultan." THE BOURSE—MONDAY, APRIL 22.

They required also that the subject of the 'direction should, as had been determined on with respect to other lines, be submitted to the judinent of the Supe r i or C omm it tee ap pointed by a preceding inister before it was laid before the Chambers.: Both Ministers assured those gentlemen that. their suggestions should be taken into serious consideration.

The same journal gives the following curious details in a letter dated Constantinople the 3d inst.:— " Bad news continues to be received from Romelia. The Albanians have withdrawn, it is true, from the environs of Adrianople before some battalions sent against them ; but the country• has not been freed from them, and they have gone to carry their pillage and waste to other points.

A great number of Bulgarians assembled at Con stantinople have sent in a petition to the Three Powers, praying them to do something with the Porte, and to take the necessary measures to shelter their country from the ravages of the Albanians. Since the beginning of the military reorganisation, deserters from the army and a crowd of young men from the provinces, flying the conscription, had taken refuge in Constantinople. The Government wished to seize on them, and, to arrive at this result, a census of the population was commenced, which was presented as a simple police measure ; complete documents were thus procured as to their number, position, and residence, but the most difficult matter was to seize on them, their 'lumbar not amounting to less than 20,000. The following was Riza-Pacha's plan of battle. We use the word designedly, for the undertaking was perilous. On Thursday morning all Slussulmen were ordered to assemble in the mosques, under pretext of verifying the lists, and all repaired there u ith confidence. The gates of Constantinople were then shut, the mosques were surrounded with troops and tin names were called over. According as any individual marked down by the military authorities for the conscription came forward, he was ordered out of the mosque, seized on, and carried off to a place of safety. In some hours all was finished. The women alone made a pretty sharp resistance. When they underst( od that their husbands and sons were thus being carried off, they left the harems, tore off their yells, and aa• SUMMARY OF NEWS AN D Cptriton. " Who runs may read." FOIZZIGN. On Monday the King of the French left Versailles for Dreux, an ancient town about fifty miles south-west of Paris, and iras to return on Wednesday. Preparations are already making for the removal of the Royal family to Neifilly in the beginning of May. We read in the Annoricain of Brest, of the 18th :—"Cap fain Dutadlis," of the Ariane, which is destined for Otaheite. has just been summoned again to Paris by telegraphic dis patch. We are lost in conjectures at this proceeding, at the moment when he was only waiting to get under weigh for the arrival of Admiral Hamelin, who was to go out in the Arians. Everything leads to a belief that there is to be impo7- tant modifications in the instructions which this ship is to carry to the Pacific. The Heroine corvette, which is fitting out - with the greatest activity, is also destined for Otaheite and the Marquesas." We learn from Belgrade, April 6, that sixty of the persona 'in prison in Servia, for political offences, the total number of whom is said to be nearly 700, have been condemned to death. Amongst them are the ex-Minister Rajewitsch, and several SenatorS. The Courrier Francais states that the number of- convicts condemned to the gullies during a period of sixteen years, from 1822 to 1837, amounted to 14,082; amongst whom "9,117, were received at Toulon, 3,193 at Brest, and 1,772 at Rochfort. _ _ _ The King of Prussia, says a letter of the 12th instant, from - Berlin, has granted permission to Dr. Lindner, one of the pro fesSors extraordinary of the university of that capital, to give a course of lectures on the advantages of oral testimony in open court, and the trial by jury. This measure, adds the writer, has raised a hopethat our Government will at last de cide upon granting to the nation these two great guarantees fur an equitable administration of justice. From Frankfort we learn that the Easter fair had been brisker than for many years previous for all manufactures, but especially cotton, which was dearer. A letter from Coleah, in Algeria, by the last mail, states that in spite of the prejudices of the Arabs, Dr. Smith has succeeded in inducing them to allow the introduction of vac cination.

The Augsburgh Gazette has the following from Rome, April 9 :—" The special tribunal of Bologna has just delivered its judgment against some of the recent promoters of disturbance of the second class. Some have been sentenced to perpetual imprisonment, and others to various periods of confinement of from sto 25 years." The same journal states from St. Pe tersburgh that the Circassiaus are making great preparations to resist the forces of Russia, and that the troops of the for mer amount to 90,000 men, commanded by French and Po lish officers. LAW AND POLICE. In the Consistory Court on Tuesday, the case of Dysart v. Dysart came on for hearing. This was a suit for restitution of'conjugal rights, instituted by the Earl of Dysart against his Countess, which was met by her Ladyship with a plea of cruelty charged by her against her husband The pleadings, which are of great length, occupied a considerable part of the day; the case was then opened on the respective sides, and the rest of the day passed in hearing and deciding upon ob jections to various letters offered as exhibits in the cause. The argument will commence next court day. At Union-hall Elizabeth Godfrey, a respectable-looking young woman, was brought befoi e Mr. Trail!, charged with attempting to commit suicide. Policeman 132 L stated that while on duty that morning, at one o'clock, he observed a young female walking along Waterloo-bridge apparently in a very dejected condition. He could hear her sobbing as she went along, and when she thought she was unobserved, she retired into one of the recesses, and commenced taking off her bonnet and shawl, and then ascended the seat, and was in the act of clambering over the parapet for the purpose of throwing herself into the river, when he hnmediately hastened up and pulled her back. The prisoner expressed her regret and promised to return to her sister, if permitted. The Magistrate, however, required sureties, and she was locked up. After the night charges had been disposed of, Daniel Dearlove, a young man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, at Lambeth-street, ou a charge of entering the dwell . ing-hOnse of his uncle, Mr. James ' Dearlove, and stealing therefrom bonds, bills of exchange, Bank of England notes, and other property to a very considerable amount. The cir cumstances of the robbery have already been described. The prisoner, with the advice of Mr. Pelham, who attended for him, declined saying anything in his defence, and was remanded to a future day. Tuesday Thomas Horn, John Ruddick, William Southin, and William Smith, four " cads" or " hangers-on" of omni buses, were brought up at Hammersmith Police-court, on warrants for having assaulted Robert Haggerstone, a con ductor, in the employ of the Hammersmith Conveyance Com pany. The assault having been proved against Ruddick, Mr. Paynter said, such improper proceedings on the part of persons connected with omnibuses would lead him to deter mine, in all future cases brought before him, to impose the highest penalty the law allowed. There was not the slightest accusation made against the conductor Haggerstone. An assault had been clearly proved against the defendant Ruddick, whom he should fine 20s. and costs; but the other defendants must be discharged, there being no evidence against them.

The subscribers to Art-Unions in Dublin have been thrown into a state of great commotion b y the opinion pronounced upon their illegality ; but console themselves with the idea that a short sill will be presented during the session to set. the matter right. Certainly the plan, as a mode of encourag ing the arts, has been found very useful in Ireland, where an adequate stimulus is otherwise much wanting. The usual monthly meeting of the Incorporated Society for Promoting the Enlargement, Building, and Repairing of Churches and Chapels, was held at 4, St. Martin's-place, on Monday last; - his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury in the .chair. There were also present the Bishops of London, Chester, Bangor, Carlisle, Hereford, Ely, Ripon, Gloucester and Bristol, Durham, and Salisbury, Sir R. H. Inglis, Bart; M.P., the Revs. Dr. Spry, IL H. Norris, J. Jennings, and B. Harrison. Among other business transacted at the meeting, grants were voted towards the erection of 13 additional churches and chapels. An overture, says the Brighton Guardian has been made to provide at Horsham for the shut-out Solicitor-General, for this Parliament or Session, on the condition that no opposition should be offered by the Tories on the next occasion to Mr. Hurst's return, or the return of.his nominee, should that gen.. tleman not then desire to go into Parliament. - What degree of credit is due to the rumour, or from - which party the overture proceeded, or how it was received, we cannot undertake to say; but we feel it our duty to put the constituents on their guard by stating it, and this caution seems the more neces sary, as the rumour appears to a certain extent to explain the delay which has taken place in moving for the writ to fill up the void in the representation. SALE OF MADAME VESTRIS'S THEATRICAL WARD ROBE.—Tuesday at noon a sale by auction was commenced and completed at the auction-rooms, Great Marlborough street, as announced in the catalogue, of "a part of the theatrical wardrobe of an eminent actor and actress," the property, as generally stated in the auction-room, of Madame Vestris and Mr. Matthews. The lots consisted of a large assortment of very eleghnt dresses, shawls, &c., which were worn by that eminent actress in some of her most celebrated characters. There was a very short notice of the sale, the effect of which was there were but few of the theatrical corps present. There were 65 lots, amongst which were 36 dresses and 15 shawls, besides scarfs, riding-habits, gowns, &c., an embroidered Cashmere cloak, a black velvet ditto, an Indian satin ditto. Twelve muslin and cotton dresses sold for 2/. ; a black satin dress and ditto embroidered shawl for 21. 2s. ; an embroidered Cashmere cloak and two slips for 19s. ; a very elegant velvet dress, richly trimmed, for 2/. ; a piece of net muslin and lace, and a blonde skirt, which was stated to be worth about 10/., for 1/. ss. ; and various others at an average loss. A superfine court dress coat and a pair of breeches fetched only 18s.: the auctioneer said that the coat was worth 5/., the first bidding for it was 7s. The property produced about 76/., which, it was stated, was not a fifth. part of the value. The principal buyers were of the Hebrew persuasion. HIBERNIAN SCHOOL SOCIETY.—On Tuesday a sale of ladies' useful and ornamental work, drawings, poor's clothes, &c.,.' was held at the Queen's Concert Room, Hanover-square, on behalf of the Ladies' Hibernian Female Society. Amongst the patronesses were—the Duchess of Beaufort, the Marchioness of Bath, the 3larehioness of Water .ford, the Marchioness of Thomond, the Marchioness of Aber corn, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, the Countess of Gal loway, the Countess of Shannor, the Countess of Bandon, the Countess of Sandwich, the Countess of Pomfret, the Viscountess Sydney, the Viscountess Canning, the Vis countess Hill, the - Viscountess Jocelyn, the Lady Louisa Finch, the Lady Ashley, the Hon. Mrs. Ashley, the Hon. Mrs. A. Lefton_ the Hon. Mrs. Westby , an d the Hon. Miss Waldegrave. It was stated that, upon the result of the sale the continuance of many of the Female Hibernian Schools would depend. At present 207 schools were in connexion with the Society, containing upwards of 13,000 scholars, a greatproportion of whom were the children of Roman Catho lics. The sale is to be continued this day. Several of the journals, in announcing the recent death of M. Raoul, a celebrated file-maker, relate the follow ing anecdote :—Napoleon, w hen First Consul, called upon him incognito, and, after having tested the superiority of his files, said—" You live in a country which gives poor encou ragement to industry ; why do you not go to England, where merit of this kind is encouraged? There you would get a good price for your secret."—" Sell my secret to the English," said Raoul, " poor as I am, I would rather die of hunger." Napoleon was delighted, but would not reveal who ho was. The next day, however, he sent a present to Raoul of 50,000 f., and gave him a building in which to establish a factory. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE DOVER RAILWAY TERMINUS.—John Matthews, aged 42, another of the sufferers, expired at Guy's Hospital on Monday night, at eleven o'clock.

There is only one place in London where it could be seen with advantage, as St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey are closed to it—we mean the hall of the Re form Club House. If the trustees, of whom Sir John Hobhouse is one, would place tbis statue of England's greatest modern poet, from the chisel of Europe's great sculptor, in the Reform Club, honour would be done to the poet, the sculptor's fame would be ex tended, and the attractions, which Mr. Barry has given to the Reform Club, would be increased. The Duchess of °Kent arrived at Boulogne on Tuesday afternoon, at two o'clock. On the steamer, the Princess Alice, reaching the harbour, the British Con sul and the ci- ic authorities of Boulogne went on board to pay their respects to her Royal Highness. Shortly afterwards the party landed, and set off for Paris. Her Royal Highness was to sleep at Montreuil, and would reach Paris on Wednesday afternoon. HIGHLAND SOCIETY OF LONDON.—The third general Court, for the year 1844, of this incorporated Society was held on Saturday last at the FreeMasons' Tavern, when about thirty gentlemen connected with the Highlands of Scotland sat down to a sumptuous entertainment, which was well served, and consisted of all the delicacies the season affords. Sir J. Macdonnell, the hero of Hougomont, pre sided ; supported by the Chisholm, Colonel Alcock, Captain Lloyd, R.N , Captain C. Forbes, Captain C. Mackenzie, Major G. Sharp, Dr. B. Chisholm, Dr. W. Hunter, Mr. C. Sutherland, Mr. H. Rose, Mr. W. F. Black, Mr. M. Boyd, Mr. W. S. Boyd, Mr. L. Boyd, Mr. R. R. M'lan , Mr. M. Young, Mr. G. Bain, M r . A. Macdonald, &C. Most of the company were dressed in the Highland costume, which had a pleasing effect. M`Kay, piper to the Society, played several pibrochs, &c., on the great Highland pipe in a masterly manner ; and several reels were ably and enthusiastically executed by the Chisholm, Mr. R. R. hl'lati' Mr. M. Boyd, Mr. G. Bain, and C a pt a i n C. F o rbes. Many loyal and national toasts were drunk, with Highland honours, during the evening; and one, namely, " Chiefs and Clans," was re sponded to by the Chisholm in a most eloquent and spirit stirring strain. Several ballads were delightfully sung by Mr. Blood and Mr. Holmes, and Mr. Jones also cleverly gave an Irish ditty. Those gentlemen are amateurs, but their vocal abilities are of no ordinary description. The Highland Society of London was established to perpetuate the language, manners, costume, literature, &c., of the Gael, and ably and perseveringly does it perform this task. INTERCOURSE BETWEEN ENGLAND AIM FRANCE. —Number of persons who passed between England and France from the 10th to the 16th of April :-,By Boulogne, 1,034; by Calais, 424. Of the 1,034, 442 entered France, and 592 came to England. At the corresponding period of last year, the number who passed between England and France was—by way of Boulogne, 872 ;by way of Calais, 317. ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.—ApriI 22, R. J.

It may be remembered that that enterprising and ta lented traveller was treacherously and barbarously murdered on the Lake of Zunah. NEW POLICE COURT.---It has been for some time in the contemplation of Government to erect another police court in addition to those already established on the Surrey side of the metropolis, for the districts of Lambeth, Kenning ton, Clapham, and portions of Camberwell and Brixton ; and the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police Force have been some months past engaged in selecting a suitable spot.. They have at last fixed upon a spot for the site of the New Police-court, which 'is situate in the Kennington-road, be tween the. Old Red Lion and the.Cricketera, and near the Zoological-gardens. The e x p enses of b uilding the court will be defrayed out of the Consolidated Fund, and Mr. Ray, the receiver of the metropolitan, police, has made arrangements to that effect. The occupiers of the several houses on the spot have received notice to quit, and as soon as that is ex pired, preparations will be commenced for the building. The new court, in lieu of Union-hall, at care end, Borough, is in a forward state of completion s the carpenters are at work fitting up the interior of the court and clerks' offices, but it is expected that it will not be fit for reception until Michael mas next. FALSE ALARM.--A most preposterous report ap peared in several of the London papers this week, to the effect that a conflict had taken place on Sunday between the Guards and the 44th, quartered at Winchester, and that blood had been shed, numbers taken to the hos pital, and concluding with the announcement that the 44th were ordered to other quarters. The fact is, there was a trumpery quarrel among a little party of the two regiments, not snore than four or five in number, at a low house called t h e Cricketers, and word being sent to the barracks, piquets were ordered out, which, parading the streets and re-appearing several times, conveyed the impression of num bers.

Advertiser. DEPLORABLE AND FATAL ACCIDENT PROM A BOAR.—A most deplorable accident occurred yesterday (Fri day) afternoon, at the parish of Upton, by which a fine young man, John Robert Fisher, the son of Mr. John Fisher, corn and flour dealer, Northgate-street, Elmester, lost his life. Mr. Fisher occupies the fifth flour-mill at Upton parish, to which a small farm is attached, and his son, the unfortunate deceased, was in the habit of going over to assist in the work. About three o'clock he and the miller went to clean out the boar's stye, and with this view the miller endea voured to drive the animal out of the sleeping-house with a shovel, but did not succeed, the boar refusing to stir. Mr. Fisher observing this, opened the door of the stye still wider than it was, and holding a stick in his hand said to his com panion, " I'll drive him out ;" but no sooner had he ad vanced his right leg than the ferocious animal rushed out and seized him by the thigh with his teeth and tusks. The miller instantly attacked the boar with the shovel, and suc ceeded in driving him off, and when released Mr. Fisher at tempted to walk towards the house, which is about 50 yards from the stye, but fell ere he reached it, and died in a few minutes. A large quantity of blood flowed from the wound, which had a jagged appearance, and *lie - about: four inches in length. Medical assistance was speedily procured, but it was unavailing.—Gloucestershire Chronicle. [Our Corres pondent states that an inquest was held on the body by John. Cooke, Esq., coroner, on Saturday, when a verdict of Acci dental Death was returned. Two deep gashes appeared on the thigh, at that part popularly called the pope's eye; and the medical gentleman who was called in stated that although he had been present when the accident occurred it would have been impossible to have saved the life of the deceased. What adds to the calamity is that the animal was known to be ferocious, and ought not to have been kept. It was de stroyed in the course of Saturday evening.] DEATH OF A CHARACTER.—Died on Monday last • at the advanced age of seventv-nine years, Mr. John Pitts, of Great St. Andrew-street. The deceased for nearly half a century catered for the popular tales, by printing ballads, horrid murders, wild and wonderful taste, dying speeches, &c. In early life the deceased followed the business of a baker, to which trade he served his time, subsequently he was employed by a printer, in extensive business, in Al dermanbury, who at that period printed the songs for the street vocalists. At his master's death, Mr. Pitts having amassed some property, started in the same business, and for many years monopolized the whole of the street pub lishing, without having a competitor, until the trial of Queen Caroline, when • the late Mr. James Catnach set up in the same business. By publishing that trial these rival printers realised several thousand pounds each. About this time the deceased lost his sight, after which his sense of feel ing was so very acute that he could imme diatel y detect counterfeit bank notes or coins, and make his way to any part of the house, and supply the wants of customers without assistance. So averse was he to the credit system that, on the receipt of goods, he invariably paid the amount in cash, never drawinq a cheque for any creditor. Of late years the punishment of death having been seldom carried kao effect, the profits of those printers have been considerably dimi nished, notwithstanding which the deceased, who, from a comparative state of poverty became affluent solely •by his own exertions, has left several legacies to his relatives and servants. He has appointed Mr. Harrild, the - composition r Durylane, his executors.roller-manufacturer,and Mr. Neate, wine - merchant , o f i n SHEEP Wester S it T o E s A i L a r r N e G e .- om l p \ l ' a e i n understand that moe the h o f farmers depreda tions among their flocks. Two sheep lately disappeared from the farm of Munlochy, and a fine wedder from Conan farm about eight • days ago. It is supposed that this practice is kept up by some individuals who kill the sheep and sell them in the towns at a reduced price. Cheap food is highly desirable ;_ but, if it is only to be got by crime, the sooner an end is put to it the better. We trust the authorities will spare no efforts to detect the delinquents, and so put down a system so discredit. able to the district.—Ross-shire Advertiser.

Eastern Counties have been lti; Brighton 63; Greenwich 71, and North Mid land, 115 to 10 discount. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool Market. yesterday, were 3,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken by speculators. The market was healthy.—ln Shares there was not much done, except in Manchester and Birmingham, and the French lines. Chester and Holyhead were 6 4 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 664 ; Great Western, Half, 721 ; North British , 3/. Os. 6. ; Paris and Lyons, 378 ; South-Eastern, New, 10. The correspondence that has passed between Messrs. Lizardi and the Committee of Spanish-Arnericam Bond holders upon the subject of the Mexican dividends, has further excited the surprise and indignation of the bondholders, and the refusal of the agentS to give any information as to the funds in their hands, because their constituent is the Government of Mexico, is a contemptible subterfuge, of a piece with all their previous doings. It has been well said that straightforward dealing requires no concealment, and therefore, after the appropria tion of 11,000% to their own commission, when of right the amount should have gone to the dividends, even though sanc tioned by their unscrupulous employer in Mexico, we mtist form our own inferences as to how far that principle has been exemplified in the history of the present case. Ihe agents have quite forgotten their promise to reconsider the question of taking the 11,0001. for their own use, and we pre sume the Committee will now call a meeting on the subject. The West India newspaper files do not bring accounts of good weather in the parishes of Jamaica, so long afflicted with drought, and previsions had become very scarce, so that American supplies would be seasonable. It was hoped the May season would bring the usual showers, but these would not be likely to remedy the injury already done. More immigrants had arrived from Africa.. Froni Guiana we learn that the labourers were much ex cited by the question raised as to the illegality of the titles to the estates purchased by them with a joint fund, and afterwards divided into small allotments. The English Funds have been less buoyant, and there is a slight reduction on yesterday's rates. Re quote Consols 998 to k for Money, and 99,1 to 4 for Account, which proves at any rate that stock is scarce. The Commissioners have taken Consols at 994. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have receded to 103 k and 102 k. The Reduced are 1021 to 102. Exchequer Bills remain at 745. to 765. premium. Very little has been done in the Foreign Market.

AMSTERDAM, APRIL 20,—This morning the Royal Family made their protosel excursion to Utrecht by the iron railway. They left the Palace with their suite at eleven o'clock, ar.d returned about three. We are as sured that his Majesty expressed his entire satisfaction with the handsome manner in which the carriages are fitted up, and with all the arrangements. ZRODLE. APRIL 19.—The steam-boats between this town and Amsterdam will begin to ply on Tuesday, the 23d, and arrangements will be made to correspond with the arrivals of the trains, as well from Rotterdam and the Hague to Amsterdam, as from Amsterdam to the Hague and Rotterdam. The facilities which these new arrangements will afford to travellers, who will be able to come in one day from Rotterdam, the Hague, Leyden, Haarlem, Amsterdam, and other places in North and South Holland, to Zrodle and Tevente, in one day, and, by means of diligences, to go with all speed to Drenthe, Friesland, and. Groningen, we may hope that trade and industry will derive great advantages from the increased intercourse between the several places. AMSTERDAM, APRIL 22.—We learn that their Majes ties will leave this capital to-morrow morning, at half past nine o'clock, to return to the Hague. TURKEY. — The Constantinople mail of the 34 of April brings lecounts of 'a violent pressing of soldiers which the Porte had executed in the Turkish capital, in which the wives of the men pressed made a riot, at tacked Mohamed Ali and Riza Puha, and tore the clothts off their helts. THE WEST INDIES. We have received a file of \Veit India journals, containing intelligence from Jamaica to tho 24th ult. Barbadoes, March 20, and Guiana, March 19, brought by the Treut mail packet, which arrived at Southampton this morning at half-past 12, A.M. She brings forty-seven passengers, and has had a tolerable passage. The Trent also brings 539 dol lars, 318 ounces of silver, 2 ounces of geld-dust, and 1,186 doubloons. We subjoin extracts : (From the Jamaica Morning Journal of March 14.) " There is little news from Barbadoes, but the little is good. The weather has changed. Rain had fallen, and the hopes of the planters had brightened. " A vessel has arrived at Falmouth with ice, and that ar ticle is on sale at that place at 3d. per lb." (Froin the Jamaica Morning Journal of March 23.) " We, have little to communicate to our distant readers by the present mail that will be interesting or gratifying. Those Concerned in estates in this island will be sorry to hear that the weather in several parts continues ruinously dry, with little, if any, chalice of a favourable change for some weeks to come. Rainfell in this city and its environs on Thursday, but the showers have not been followed by others, as was anticipated. " The island is remarkably and universally quiet, and it is equally healthy. " In consequence of the severe and long-continued drought the inhabitants of seine districts have suffered from want of food and water. From Manchester we learn from a letter now before us, that what was scarcity in the month of January has become a degree of want approaching to famine. Fortunately, flour, meal, and other descriptions of American produce have been plentiful and cheap in the principal towns, and have rendered their inhabitants independent of the supply of indigenous articles of food. For water persons in some parts of the island have had to travel miles, and stock to be driven considerable distances. " The transport Glen Huntley has arrived from Sierra Leorte. She brought 118 immigrants, and 24 Africans, who proceeded to that place some short time ago in her, but have returned, preferring this island to their native country. The immigrants were landed at Annotto Bay on the north side of the island, and were most greedily taken up by persons in want of labourers. Ten times as many, we are informed, would have found employment in the neighbourhood of that place. The occasional arrivals from Sierra Leone tend to keep up the hope that the stream of immigration from Africa will yet flow as freely and continuously as is desired by a great many in this island. Some persons think immigration unnecessary. These, we apprehend, mean that it is unne cessary for the cultivation of the present estates. No one can entertain the opinion that population is not required who looks around and observes the thousands of acres of land which remain uncultivated, and no one can doubt that the island and the mother country will be benefited by immi gration, and especially from Africa. " The Planters' Bank of this island has declared a dividend of 5 per cent. upon the half-year's transactions to the 31st of December last, and carried 2,093/. 15s. Id. to the reserved fund. This establishment has been returning 10 per cent. per annum to its shareholders for some time past. " Several fires have occurred—one at Garbrand Hall estate in St. Thomas-in-the-East,which destroyed the Great House, or Proprietor's residence when Proprietors used to reside in the island, and two in St. Andrew's, by which a cane piece and eight negro houses and 120 acres of grass were destroyed These fires were accidental. "We are sorry we cannot announce any improvement in trade, which still remains dull. " Money is also scarce, and very difficult to be procured " We can hardly expect any change for the better, whilst agriculture languishes, and the soil yields no return to the cvltivators of it." At the Drawing-room on Thursday, the duties of the late State pages to her Majesty were performed by Messrs. Sheppard and Beckham, pages of the presence. By tins new arrangement two old and faithful servants of the Royal household, Messrs. Dobell and liaise, are placed on the retired list. THE MURDER OE MR. GATCHELL. — The order for the execution of Downing, who was convicted at the last assizes of Tullamore for the murder of Mr. Gateliell, and whose sentence had been subsequently respited, has_been for warded to the proper authorities; and the unfortunate man, of whose guilt there is not entertained a shadow of doubt will suffer the extreme penalty of the law.

HORSHAM, APRIL 24.—Everything with regard to this eltction is at present in a state of the utmost un certainty. The friends of Mr. Hurst say that there will be no opposition, and that his return, therefore, is cer tain, but other well-informed parties are of opinion that there is some good reason for the delay in issuing tho writ, and that a Conservative candidate will come for ward, and some even go so far as to say that Mr. Thesiger is to be the man. The fact, that there is no other vacancy than this borough, and, consequently, no means for the Solicitor-General to get into Parliament, unless some Honourable Member should vacate his seat on his behalf, to some extent strengthens this opinion but nothing positive is yet known upon the subject. SOCIETY FOR THE EMANCIPA TION OF INDUSTRY. On Tuesday evening a numerous meeting of theiriends and supporters of this Institution was held at the offices of the Society, in Parliament-street, for the purpose of giving publicity to, and adopting steps to further the objects of the Society. Amongst the gentlemen present were several Members of the House of Commons. Mr. ANDREW SroTTlswooDE was voted to the chair, and explained the nature of the meeting. The country was detached into various and singular classes, who each professed to have a remedy for the existing evite but whose professed remedy was fallacious and fan ciful. It was ix the principles of that society alone that a remedy was to be found, and pamphlets and tracts had been published to explain them. It had, le,wever, been ascertained that explaining them verbally was much more effective, and much more conducive to the interest of the society than by promulgating them through the medium of tracts. It was, therefore, their intention to hold weekly meetings in that place until the public were fuily made acquainted with their objects. The ptinci ples they advocated were not new ; on the contrary, they were as old as Aristotle, Plato, and had been en tertained by all learned men from their day down to the present time. They merely assembled together to ex plain that the principles held in the time of Aristotle were worthy of every attention now. Previous to the year 1819 twenty millions were advanced annually towards reducing the National Debt, but since then not a single farthing had been paid. It was clear, then, the present monetary system of the country and standard value of gold was wrong, and they were determined to agitate until they obtaine some reform, or were convinced their views were erroneous. Mr. LANIE MURRAY followed with a series of re marks upon the injurious operation of the present system of currency, and laid down the principles of the Society as applicable to the circumstances of the country. He elucidated, with considerable power, the advantages that would accrue from a liberation of gold from the fixed rate of 3/..175. 101(1. per ounce, and the allowance of a paper circulation, convertible at the market or commer cial price of that commodity. Mr. ATTWOOD, of Birmingham, advocated at some length the revival of the Bank of Restriction. He never heard of any objection being raised to it when in exist ence ' • certainly it never was petitioned against -by th e people, while, to his certain knowledge, 360 petitions were, in 1819, presented to the House of Commons against the then proposed change. It was the means of carrying the country through a long and tedious war, and he had no hesitation in expressing his firm convic tion that, unless the Bank Restriction Act were again revived, to some extent, a revolution would ultimately be the fate of this country. Mr. Muntz, M.P., and several other gentlemen, also addressed the meeting at some length, advocating a free trade in gold, and an entire change in the monetary system ; and thanks having been accorded to the Chair man, the meeting was adjourned till this day week. SKELETON FOUND IN THE RUINS OF THE OLD HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—Yesterday forenoon, the workmen employed in the crypt of St. Stephen's Chapel, , • which was part of the Speaker's house for several years ~., . before the destruction of the old Houses of Parliament . . by fire, and afterwards used, until recently, as one of the • Committee rooms of Commons, found a human skeleton embedded in a mass of concrete about three feet front the floor of the crypt. It appeared to have been buried in the earth, as no vestiges of a coffin were found, the general belief of those who have visited the place being that the corpse never re ceived the rites of burial, and came there by un fair means, where it has no doubt lain for several cen turies. The ! skeleton appears to be that of a full grown , young man ; the teeth are in an excellent state of pre servation, and many of the bones exhibit but slight symptoms of decay. The circumstance is still furthet involved in m)stery, from the fact that the most authen tic annals of the old Houses of Parliament contain no re cord of the crypt ever having been used for the Farr° of burial; a circumstance which has excited considerabl e • sensation in the vicinity. The bones were placed in $ barrel and placed in one of the vaults of the new • building.
