The Duke of WELLINGTON resisted the motion, on the ground that the law of Queen ANNE in that re spect was still in force. The Secretary of State had acted in accordance with the law of the country. After a few remarks from Lord CAMPBELL depre cating the exercise of a power which might be sanc tioned by the Act referred to, the motion was nega tived, and the House adjourned. After the presentation of petitions, the SPEAKER, informed the house that he had received a letter from the agents on the petition against the return for the Kilmarnock Burghs, to the effect that it was not their intention to proceed with the petition. In answer to a questio❑ from Mr. IlAwEs, relative to the encroachments on Greenwich Park, the Earl of LINCOLN said there was no foundation for the repot t about building in the Park. Sir H. PEEL moved the-order of the day for going into Committee on the Sugar Duties Bill, and ex plained at Much length the plans of the Government with regard to importation of colonial and foreign sugar. After perusing his speech carefully, we cannot see that he threw much additional light ou the subject, for all the distinction that he drew between. sugar raised by free labour and by slave labour is mere moonshine. Sugar raised by slaves will . be imported into this country in one way or another. - There is no possibility of preventing it, and to keep up the farce is only to deceive the West India proprietors, If the Government are really serious in discouraging stir thy shoultl forbid the impottatioti of Cotton, eon wool, sugar, molasses, tum, cocoa -nuts, hides, tallow; hbrri t tobacco snuff, cigars, and titnott every imaginable foreign comroedity that is used by the in habitants of the United Kingdom.. TW, of Lancashire and Yorkshire are kept going solely by slave labour, One-half of the consumption of the rountry imported from foreign States is the produce of slavery, and it therefore is utterly absurd to make a distinction 'between free-labour and slave-labour sugar. The only point of interest in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech Wag that the Government would not yield to tho amendment of Mr. MILES, and that they would abide by their original proposition. He accordingly announced that, when the motion was made for reducing the duty on West India sugar to 203., he should move that it be 24i. the cwt. The specch of Sir ROBERT PEEL was remarkable for its candour. lle admitted that the Government had been defeated on several important questions during the present session ; that, consequently, little or nothing had been done ; that Parliament might be prorogued, and business, as at the close of the preceding session, remain nearly as when they met ; that many of his usual supporters had not lent him their support, but whatever might be the consequence the Government were determined to persevere in their course by a gradual, safe, and circumspect re laxation of those duties on articles which come into competition with the domestic produce of the country. This free trade speech did not seem to please the Tories, and the Right Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst cheers rather from his foes than his friends. Lord JOHN RUSSELL adverted briefly to the dif ferent topics of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech, and said the main drift of it was to make Members on the other side, the usual supporters of Government, undo what they had done on Friday, and thereby destroy their independence as Members of Parliament. Mr. P. MILES regretted that Sir ROBERT PEEL was determined to oppose the motion carried by a ma jority of 20 on Friday; he regretted also that he was compelled to oppose the Government, but he could not shrink from his duty, and must persist in his amendment. Sir ROBERT PEEL immediately rose, and moved that the blank be filled up with 245. An interesting debate ensued, in which Mr. KEM BLE, Mr. DISRAELI, MT. LABOUCIIERE, Lord STAN LEY, and many other Members joined, and for which, owing to want of space, we must refer to the Parlia mentary report. The House divided ; the numbers were, for Mr. MILES'S motion, 233 ; against it, 255 ; majority for Ministers, 22. The: other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock. The present House of Commons bad already earned, in dealing with the Factory question, an un enviable celebrity for the facility with which it could be brought to unvote to day what it had voted yes terday ; to affirm, absolutely, to day that which it shall as fully and distinctly retract to-morrow. But the flexibility of purpose which it betrayed last night, has scarcely been paralleled by any Legislative Assembly since that which was summoned, in the dead of night, to meet a Roman CXSAR in solemn Council, and then and there did gravely advise the Imperial Majesty on the most eligible mode of dress ing a monster turbot. On Friday night last, as our readers will remember, the Commons, by a majority of 20 votes, in a House of 462 Members, exclusive of four tellers, decided that the words in the first clause of the Sugar Duties Bill, introduced by her MAJESTY'S Ministers, which charged a Customs duty of "1/. 4s. per cwt."—`,: in respect of sugar the growth of any British possession in America, and imported from thence," SHOULD NOT stand part of such clause. And inasmuch as this question arose on the " amendment" proposed by Mr. PHILIP MILES, to the effect that the duty in respect of "sugar the growth of any British possession in America, and imported from thence," should be 1/. per cwt., the Com mittee, in the ordinary course of things, would doubtless have gone on, on Friday evening, the amendment being next specifically proposed from the table, to affirm it by the same, or very nearly the same, majority. Ministers, however, legged for time to consider the course they should take in the matter, after the adverse vote against their original clause. Last night Sir R. PEEL, at the close of one of the worst and most tedious speeches ever delivered by him, announced that Government were determined to adhere to the original clause. The wonderful consequence was that, upon the House resolving itself into Committee on the Bill, after a short debate, Mr Mims's amendment was lost, and was negatived by a majority of 22 ; namely, Noes 255, against Ayes 233. Thus the majority of Friday night of 20 against Ministers, was converted into a majority in their favour, last night, of 22, on virtually one and the same question ! We have no room, this evening, for an analysis - of the two divisions, or for further commentary on them. Mr. WILLIAM BAGGE, Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS, Mr. CHARLES GORING, and Mr. C. TURNOUR, we observe among those whom new lights, illu minated between midnight on Friday and midnight on Monday, had induced to become opponents of the amendment they had previously supported. It has been, altogether, after allowing for the fact that twenty-four more Members voted last night than on Friday—one of the most extraordinary " crosses " (in sporting parlance) ever got up on the Parliamentary course ! An important public meeting was held yester day in the Town-hall of Birmingham, on the subject of Ireland, when the warmest sympathy was express ed for that aggrieved country, and a solemn protest was recorded against the prosecution, trial, sentence, and imprisonment of Mr. O'CONNELL and his co-de fendants. A few, among many of the reasons, which induced tlw meeting to record this protest, are con tained in the following significant passage :—"l3e cause the prosecution has been characterised by cir cumstances exhibiting an unfair influence over the right administration of justice; the suspicious disap pearance from the jury-list of the names of a number of Roman Catholics, whereby the jury, instead of being composed of twelve creditable men who were neighbours to the fact, and unexceptionable to the parties concerned, was constituted exclusively of the religious and political opponents of the ac cused; the marked bias against the defendants of one of the judges who presided ; the conflicting opinions of the Court on several points of law during the trial ; the vague and undefined nature of the imputed offence ; and the refusal of a new trial, notwithstand ing the judicial decision of Judge PERRIN that the traversers were entitled to it." These are weighty reasons, which will be sure to make an impression on the minds of all intelligent and impartial English men. The language in which they are conveyed, is calm but forcible and decided, and proves that the men of Birmingham entertain the strongest feelings of sympathy for the Irish State pri soners—feelings which we may observe, by the way, are fast spreading among English reformers of all grades, and will tend seriously to increase Sir ROBERT PEEL'S already numerous catalogue of Minis terial difficulties. It is high time, indeed, that Eng land's voice should be heard on the subject of Ire land's wrongs, and the Premier be told that, if he cannot make up his mind to adopt a more enlightened and conciliatory system of policy towards the sister country, he must make way for those who can and will. He has had quite a sufficient trial; the utmost forbearance has been manifested towards him ; and there is no longer the slightest excuse for his delay in acting justly towards Ireland. It is now four years and upwards since he took the reins of power, armed with an authority which no Minister has wielded since the days of the second PITT. He had but to command, to be obeyed. The sister-country— generously forgetf u l o f the past misgovernment of 'Toryism—was willing to hope for the best, and accept an instalment of the heavy debt so long owing to her, if she could not obtain the whole. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Smooth constant professions of good-will encouraged these hopes ; and the diminished strength of the Orange party, which was besides distracted by in ternal feuds, gave him the finest possible opportunity of realising a portion, at least, if not all, of hi s pro fessions. But session after session came and went, and still found nothing but empty professions bestowed on Ireland. Not one of her admitted grievances was removed—not o en an attempt was made to remove them—the old inveterate spirit of Tory di ttriist *6 still khlbited towards the . eathdlic:s 114 tikial were kept as much as possible in the back-ground, and their eneihies proinoted to dikes . of horioiti• and the: onSeriatite Cabinet showed, throughout their Irish policy, that they had changed their name only, and not their nature. At length, towards the close of last year, the question of the state of Ireland was formally brought forward In the House of Commons. But was the long discussion that ensued of a cheer ing, of a pacific character ? Far otherwise: It wa6 neither more nor less than a proposition, supported by the entire weight of Government, and insisted on by them as a measure of the most grinding necessity, for increasing the severity of the existing Arms Bill! And this is about the sum total of the Tilts bAY'S istEvits, • LI EN' BENCH. -(.THIS PAY.) Mf. Justice Wighttmin tat at PrluS this Morrill with a Middlesex special jury. Th e C our t w a s o ccupied ' whole morning in trying the case of Busher v.

But no, we do him injustice. Ile has, in addition to his insulting Arms Bill, contrived to CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY). OLD CO U R 7. (Before the RECORDER.) Daniel Dearlove, aged 35, chemist, was indicted for felo niously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of James Dearlove, and stealing two bank notes of 1001. each, eight sovereigns, and other moneys, his property. Mr. Wilkins conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. place under the secure lock and key of a Peni tentiary, the man of all others most dear to the hearts . of Irishmen—the man who may be said, without exaggeration, to hold his country's destinies in his hand—the man who, if we mistake not, will yet be found too strong for the Ministry who have incar cerated him. Truly, Ireland has every reason to be grateful to her Tory rulers —every reason to sink back into that state of quiescence which she ex perienced during the conciliatory Administration of Lord NORAIANBY ! But the end is not yet come. True, the monster-meetings are put a stop to, and Mr. O'CONNELL is confined within the four walls of a prison ; but it is his body only that is in durance ; his spirit still walks abroad; the seed which he sowed —be it for good or for evil—still flourishes; and, perhaps, he was never so powerful as he is at the present moment ; for to admiration of his talents and confidence in his patriotism, are now added the in tensest sympathy in his fate, and the conviction that his trial has been an unjust one. Sir ROBERT PEEL has already shown that he cannot govern Ireland, lle has yet to show—and the proof will be forth coming ere long—that he cannot govern England. The facts of this case had very recently been before the public when the charge was investigated at Lambeth-street Police-office. The prisoner was the prosecutor's nephew. (The case had not concluded when we went to press.) --- CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas Murray was charged with assaulting John M'Dermott. On that morning, between one and two o'clock, the complainant, one of whose arms was in a sling, and quite disabled, was standing in Church -street, St. Giles's, when the prisoner came up and accused him of being a " smasher" (an utterer of bad coin). M'Dermott indignantly denied the quarrel e nsue d , an d bl ows were struck on proved, howe ver , th a t th e pr i soner , a cha b r o g t e h ; s iv d h es e . hereupon was a powerful man, struck the first blow, and afterwards beat the complainant so violently that the blood flowed profusely from his mouth. Police constable Allen came up and prevented further violence. The complainant is a musician, who ekes out a precarious subsistence by playing the violin at the humblest class of public-houses, but it appears sufficiently well to enlist the sympathies of a numerous body of sweeps, costermongers, and ladies of the pave, who accompanied him to the Court, and seemed to take a lively interest in the legal proceedings.—The prisoner was fined 7s. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas Hart was charged, before Mr. Traill, with gambling on Peckham Race-course. Policeman 2621 3 ;taied that on the preceding day the Peckham Races, near the Rosemary Branch, took place, and that he was stationed there by orders of the Commissioners of Police to prevent gambling. He had not been long there before his attention was called to a crowd, collected at a short distance from the temporary stand, and on going up he observed the defendant at a small table. There was nothing on the table at the time, but the defend ant was busily engaged in depositing something in his pockets, which, on being examined, were found to contain the articles for playing at the games of " thimble rig" and prick in the garter." The defendant, however, declared that he had not had a single customer, and that he had not played at either of the games. In reply to Mr. TRAIL, the policeman said the race-course was private property, that it was inclosed ; but that a number of fellows intruded themselves by getting over the palings; the defendant was one of those who got into the ground in the above manner. The defendant said that he had only just arrived from Leicestershire, and that being out of employ he tried to earn an "honest penny," not knowing the law forbad the old games of "thimble-rig and prick in the garter" on race. courses. We have received Madrid journals of the 10th, but they are barren of intelligence. The Funds had im proved a little. The Three per Cents. closed at 27-1 to for cash, and 27i at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 20i at 60 days. The Journal des Debats, of Monday, contains an other singular article on the affairs of the East, and especially the relations of China with the East India Company. We are surprised to find the able and cautious editor of this paper duped by some unscru pulous correspondent at Bombay or Calcutta, who mistakes the visions of his own imagination for facts, and transmits them to Paris as the latest news of the day. " The news brought from China by the last mail," says that journal, " possess much interest. Political as well as commercial affairs are assuming a different aspect, and we can already foresee coming changes of sufficiently grave importance." It then relates a story, dressed up by its veracious corre spondent in these words :—" The first event of im portance is the arrival at Calcutta of Sir WILLIAM PARKER, the Governor of Hong-Kong, charged with a proposition from the Emperor ofCInNA to the East In dia Company. The Ruler of the Celestial Empire being desirous to save his subjects from the de moralising effects produced by opium, offers to pay the Company an annual tribute of a million and a half sterling, on condition that they give up the cul ture of opium throughout the whole extent of the British possessions." This is a lesson of philanthropy, the writer adds, which would do honour to the country of WILI3ERFORCE and Lord ASHLEY. It iS a noble spectacle to see this poor Monarch (pauvre monarque) conquered and scoffed at, exclaim, with the money in his hand—" Here is the gold which ye seek—the gold which ye must have for your luxury and comfort. Well, take it. I give it you, but do not poison my subjects." The bargain, however, it would appear, was not struck, as the English in India could make more by the trade. This is all very im portant, and fresh news to the English public. The only domestic news in the Paris papers is a general strike among the barristers practising in the Cour Royale. It appears that a leading member of the bar wished an important suit, in which he was engaged, to be postponed on account of the death of his child, as he was unable to do justice to his client. M. SEGUIR, the President, however, refused to ac cede to the proposition, stating that private feeling had nothing to do with public duty, and that the business of the Court could not be interfered with by the absence of any of the counsel. This decision created a sensation unfavourable to the President, which was still further increased by his declaring in another instance, where an advocate threw up his brief in an unworthy cause, "that the advocate in question had done wrong ; that barristers in general were bound to plead whether the case were good or bad; and that, if they did not do so, they acted con trary to conscience and to their oath." A meeting was held in consequence, when they unanimously re solved to refuse to plead in the Court without an ample apology from the President. That determina tion was to be announced to the Learned Judge on Monday. Mr. TRAILL told the defendant that the above games were unlawful, that on the present occasion he should not put the law in force, but warned him not to exercise his vocation again on race courses. This advice the defendant said he should adopt, and he was therefore discharged, his apparatus being forfeited. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.)

With the sole exception of Rogers —who still lives and flourishes at a most patriarchal age--Campbell was the only remaining disciple of the polished but artificial school of Pope. The first work by which he made himself conspicuous in literature was the " Pleasures of Hope"—a poem which was written, we believe, before he had completed his 22d year, and which still maintains it s pl ace among our English classics. This brilliant production was followed by " Gertrude of Wyoming "—a more chaste and elegant, but scarcely so animated a composition as its predecessor —" Theodric," the " Pilgrim of Glencoe," and those immortal lyrics, " Hohenlinden," " Lochiel's Warning," " Ye Mariners of England," the " Exile of Erin," and the " Battle of the Baltic," which have rendered his fame as enduring as the lan guage in which they were written. But Mr. Campbell was not only a poet, he was a prose-writer also of considerable merit; and published successively lives of Mrs. Siddons and Petrarch, together with " Letters from Algiers," which abound in descriptions of exquisite beauty. For a long series of years he edited the "New Monthly Magazine," to which he contributed many little poetical gems of the purest water; and on his secession from this periodical, started the "Metropo litan," of which, however, he soon wearied. From an early period of his public career, he enjoyed a pension of three hundred pounds a-year ; was one of the founders of the London University ; and in the year 1836, had the high honour of being elected Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow. In politics he was of the Liberal school; took a warm interest in the affairs of Poland; and was on habits of familiar acquaintance with all the most illustrious literary spirits of his country. As a poet he would have achieved the highest possible rank —for his genius was of the first order—had he had more faith in his own impulses, and obeyed with more boldness the promptings of his fervid ima gination. But he was fastidious to a degree in his poetical tastes, and would, at any time, sacrifice a fine thought to a correct line. His " Gertrude of Wyoming possesses all the fine polish of Parian marble ; and the description of the death of the heroine, and her last address to her agonised husband, is, of its kind, the tenderest and most touching episode to be found in the whole wide range of modern English poetry. Mr. Campbell was born in Scotland, and received his education in Edinburgh. He was social in his habits, was a kind friend, and a truly catholic politician. coZONse.x. SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation has been without animation, although a fair business has been done at previous prices : 550 hhds have been sold. The public sales have consisted chiefly of 3,697 bags Bengal, of which only about one half found buyers at previous rates; the remainder was taken in above the value. The only transactions which have taken place privately, worth reporting, consist of a cargo of yellow Havannah, consisting of about 1,400 boxes, which have been sold afloat at 19s, deliverable at a near port on the Continent; also a cargo of Maroim at 22s 9d to 235, deliverable at Antwerp. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 5,864 hhds, 630 tierces, 1,291 barrels, and there were taken for home consumption 1,003 hhds, 69 tierces, 230 barrels. The stock in the same places is 8,694 hhds, 1,150 tierces, 1,555 barrels. _ _ . COFFEE.-50 casks Jamaica, 1,754 casks Ceylon, 110 bales Mocha, and 700 bags East India were o ff ere d by auction. The Jamaica sold chiefly at 86s for mid and good mid coloury quality, being about former rates. Of the Ceylon barely one-third was disposed of, at 48s 6d to 50s for good ord palish to very good ord, which prices must be quoted is lower. All the Mocha was taken in at 70s for common mixed quality. The East India sold at 26s for ord Batavia, 39s to 40s for good ord ditto, and fine Padang at 32s to 32s 6d, the latter description was taken for home consumption ; all of which are about former prices. Privately a cargo of Rio has been sold afloat at 30s 6d, deliverable at Rotterdam. Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 626 puns 237 hhds; there were taken for home consumption 91 puns 14 hhds; and exported 91 puns 11 hhds. The stock in the same places is 8,541 puns 1,810 hhds. S I'ICES.-1,183 bags Pepper, and 1,000 chests Cassia Lignea, were offered by auction ; the former consisted chiefly of good Eastern Sumatra, which sold at 2id, and a few lots at 2d, being a decline of fully d upon this description ; about one half of the latter found buyers at 62s 6d to 68s 6d for mid to good quality, which are about former rates; the re mainder was taken in at 58s for good ord coarse. TALLow.—T. Y. C. has improved to 40s 9d and 41s 3d per cwt. on the spot ; Town at 425. per cwt. TEA.—The market is firmer. There is a small public sale for to-morrow. Deliveries are to a fair extent. PROSPECTS OF THE GROUSE SEASON.—We learn that the grouse are in the same critical state with the crops, being, like them, dependent upon the weather of the nex t week or two. The birds are just now chipping the shell, and are found in hatches from eight to twelve, which, allowing for casualties in early youth, would likely give an average number of coveys in the autumn. Everything, how ever, depends, so far as regards the lower range of moors, upon an early fall of rain, for with the continuance of the present drought for another fortnight few birds, in such situations, would survive it. Again, on the higher range of shooting grounds—viz., at the head of Atholl, Badenoch, and Lochaber, where the snow is only yet melting, abundance of springs are found all the year over for the young birds, and the supply of birds on such places will, to all appear ance, be as good as usual. The principal moors in the Perth shire Highlands, are held on leases, so that there are com paratively few changes on such; but on the lower grounds there are some excellent shootings in the market.—Perthshire Courier. This morning, between the hours of one and two o'clock, the neighbourhood was thrown into a state of alarm, in consequence of a young man of the name of Markam, a drayman, in the employ of Messrs. Coombe and Delafield, the well known brewers, having precipitated himself from the attic window of the Coach and Horses public-house, in Charles-street ; a female passing at the time witnessed the dread ful'event, and immediately gave the alarm to the policeman on duty, who conveyed the unfortunate man to King's Col lege Hospital, but he expired ere he arrived there. No cause can be assigned for the rash act; he quitted the bar with the intention of retiring to rest, and was perfectly sober. HARBOURS OF REFUGE ON THE COAST.—h has been suggested to Lloyd's, that if the Spatway, or passage between the Buxey and Gunfleet Sands, was better known, and such measures as are necessary for that purpose taken, such as the layi ng d own b uoys , &c., and a leading mark through and into the River Cole, the shipping interest would be greatly benefited, although that harbour is but little known by the seamen generally, it incapable ofholding 500 sail. DEATH OF JOHN LAINSON, ESQ., LATE ALDERMAN OF BREAD -STREET WauD.—Yesterday morning at an early hour, and after a most protracted illness, died John Lainson, Esq., at his residence, No. 58, Euston-square. The deceased gentleman for nearly 10 years filled the office of Alderman of Bread -street Ward, in which he had carried on business under the firm of Lainson, White, and Co., for nearly half a century. He succeeded the late Mr. Alderman Atkins, in 18 35; and ser ve d the office of sheriff in 1838. In 1842, the period ( being chosenow n g a t o s t L h o e r d r e j 11lat i; o n r o f arrivedA ld e m he T e n . being Wood)te forsenior i s alderman ; but feeling himself incompetent to perform the duties of that office, on account of ill-health, lie resigned the aldermanic Lord Mayor i n hi s stead. his res i gnat i on cause d one of th e gown, and Alderman llumpliery was elected most severe contests known in the City for the vacant gown, which terminated in Mr. Hughes being elected, after a scrutiny which lasted several days. The deceased gentleman was also a magistrate for the county, and was highly re spected by all who knew him. lie has left a widow and large family. ALLEGED POISONING IN STEPNEY. —Yesterday the inquest on the body of Mrs: Rachael Bellaney, wife of Mr. James Bellaney (now in custody) was resumed before Mr. Baker, at the Fountain Tavern, Stepney. The evidence given on thi s occasion was precisely similar to that which has been already published. The Coroner said he was in communication with Mr. Broderip, relating to this case, and suggested another adjournment for a week, which was agreed to. IMPORTANT TO GROCERS AND OTHERS.—A fire, which might have been attended with very disastrous con sequences, broke out on Sunday night, in a warehouse be longing to Mr. Benny, of Winchester. It was discovered by the policeman on duty, who aroused Mr. Benny, and that gentleman, aided by his shoprnen, succeeded in extinguish ing the flames, though not before considerable damage was done. The origin of the fire deserves to be generally under stood, as a warning to dealers in lamp oils. In the ware house where the oils were kept, the floor for sake of cleanli ness, was spread over with sawdust. This had been swept together on the preceding Saturday night, near to the door, which was found ignited, and there is little doubt that this heap of oil-moistured saw-dust had spontaneously taken fire. This opinion is confirmed by the experience of the South of England Insurance Society, who found from experiments among the West of England clothiers, that even wool mois tened with fish or lamp oil, was capable of spontaneous com bustion when heaped together. Stores where such oil is kept should be sanded, and on no account covered with sawdust, or other ignitable matter.—Hampshire Advertiser. SALMON FISHING.—A few days ago the salmon fishery in the Bay of Nigg, the property of the, city of Aber deen, was let on a lease of seven years, at the yearly rent of 7441.. while the same fishery, about thirty years ago, only brought to the city treasury 101. per annum.—Aberdeen Herald. APPEARANCE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS LAST EVENING.—The House of Commons was crowded at half-past four, by Members anxious to hear the Ministerial statement. Sir Robert Peel, however, did not enter the House until nearly five o'clock. Among the strangers seated under the gallery was Lord Morpeth. His Lordship entered the House at four o'clock, and took his seat under the gallery. The leaders of the Whig party, as they entered the House, went up to his Lordship and shook him heartily by the hand, and some of them engaged in earnest con versation with him. His Lordship, who appeared in excellent health and spirits, seemed to enjoy the ani mated scene which the House presented. THE WEATHER.—There has been a delightful change in the weather since last evening. The ba rometer has fallen fully half an inch, and we have had several genial showers of rain in the course of the night and this forenoon. Aa the change has taken place about the time of new moon, and the sky is much overcast, we may hope that the long and de structive drought is at last come to an end. EARTHQUAKE: Lately two smart shocks of earth qaake were felt at Comrie and Crieff—the motion of the earth was from west to east.—Scotch Paper. STORM IN EDINBURGH.--Yesterday afternoon, a large portion of the wall between the Queen's Park and the Dumbiedikes was blown down by the high wind which pre vailed during the day from the westward, in consequence of which twelve sheep and four lambs, the prop er t y o f Mr. Cormack, James's-square, were lulled.—Edinburgh Evening Post of Saturday.

At the sametime, it is admitted that if the free foreign sugar could have been got in without much delay, but which, owing to the distinctive vouchers required as to their growth, &c., few persons believe, a boon would have been conferred upon the consumer. The movement of the agriculturists against the Bank Charter Bill is considered to be gaining ground, as, indeed, the farmers begin to be more sensible of the increased diffi culty they will experience in obtaining occasional money accommodation from the local banks. Numerous petitions have been adopted, in substance mostly agreeing, but especially directed to this point. The Funds have been very steady, and support the im provement ofyesterday afternoon.

The bride was given away by the Duke of Wellington.

In the evening Lady Elizabeth entertained a select party of friends. FRENCH GENEROSITY.—The brig Symmetry, which arrived at Falmouth lately, for orders from Odessa, with grain, had a very long passage, and when a few leagues off Scilly, the crew were so short of provisions as to be com pelled to bruise some of their cargo and make a kind of pud ding for food. They were likewise very short of water. In this strait the Symmetry fell in with an English brig, and one of the officers went on board, and inquired if he could be spared some provisions. Have you got any money ? was the reply. This being satisfactorily answered, one cwt. of bread was hoisted out, for which this selfish captain charged 285., though most probably it cost him only a guinea! A few days after the Symmetry fell in with a French brig, and after stating their destitute condition, applied again for provisions. The French captain immediately got out a bag of his very best bread, a supply of water, and a variety of other articles of consumption and when he was ask e d th e cost, he magnanimously replied, " Noting, me no take one sous ; me very glad to serve you ; no take one sous."— West Briton. m A.RY DIVISIONS.

Sin,—How was it that the Lord Mayor did not declare the British goods, found in the possession of M'Donald and Dubois, to be forfeited, which had been identified as having been offered as smuggled goods for sale by those parties ? There is an express provision, in 3d and 4th W. IV., c. 53, s. 47, to meet these duffers, as follows :—" If any person shall offer for sale any goods, under pretence that the same are prohibited, or have been unshipped and run on shore with out payment of duties, all such goods (although not liable to any duties, or prohibited) shall be forfeited, and the person offering them for sale shall forfeit the treble value of such goods, or the penalty of one hundred pounds, at the election of the Commissioners of Customs:" M`Donald's excursei that the goods were British, ought to have been of no avail ; if the Custom-house officer had iden tified an article of British manufacture, which had been offered to him for sale under the pretence of its having been smuggled, it ought to have been declared a forfeit to her Majesty by the Lord Mayor of London. A few of these ex periments on the,London duffers, would help to stop the daily and hourly frauds that are practised by these gentry.—l am, Sir, yours, &c. R. W. D. • Ilfracombe, June 17, 1844.
