We have no doubt, however, that the plan originally proposed, of appointing a Select Com mittee, to inquire into the matter, will be adhered to. The Carlow affair, which comes on for discussion to-night in the House of Commons, is one by no means likely—whatever they themselves may give out to the contrary—to redound to the credit of the Tories for as they appear, with the single exception of the driver of the Dilly, to have ahandoncd the idea of charging Mr. O'CONNELL with personal cupidity, nothing remains but that they accuse him of an attempt to tamper with the purity of election. And truly, an imputation of this sort coining from the Torics:, cannot but impress the country with a high idea of their dis interestedness and sincerity. They themselves have never interfered with election matters. Not they ; they have never bribed, or bullied ; never spent a million of sub scription monies to return their own adherents to Parlia ment ; never figured at Ipswich, or conferred notoriety on Warwick - ;-=-1-io, so far from distinguishing themselves by any little electioneering eccentricities of this sort, the Tories have always been remarkable for their strict adherence to the letter of the Constitution ; conse quently from no one party can a charge against Mr. O'CoNNELL of endeavouring to return a Member by undue means, come with such exquisite propriety. Nevertheless, evil tongues will wag, base slander will have her say, and it would not surprise us—knowing, as we do, the innate propensity of human nature to calumniate the most immaculate characters—if the people were to charge the Tories with being actuated in their present attack on the Hon. and Learned Men:ber for Dublin, by no nobler motive than invete anal malignity. Nay , it w ould no t even rate per: surprise us, were the people to charge them still further, with the rankest hypocrisy in af fecting to be horror:-struck by the Carlow affair, when th e y themselves, in is very affair, are sinners of a fa r bl ac k er an d deeper die. For what was the tendency o f Mr. MAHER'S evidence !'efore the Bribery Committee last Session ? Why this, tita: thousands of Catholic families in the County of Car low, whose only crime was their independent spirit, were driven from their homes, o make way for pliant and obsequious Protestant voters ! In the discussion that comes on to-night, we hope this fact will not be lost sight of. Our subscribers, in various parts ()kite country, have written to us on the subject of Mr. D. W. HARVEY'S Railway motion in the House of ... Commons, on Friday last. Some express surprise that, as yet, we have taken no notice of this motion ; and others are impa tient to know how far we approve of the Hon. Gentle man's scheme for the appointment of a Select Com mittee to watch over, and report upon, all Bills for carrying lines of railway within seven miles of the Me tropolis. Our readers, we believe, will readily admit that an omission is of the least importance, 'when, in the opi nion of public journalists at least, the interests of the country arenotendangered. Remonstrances ought not to be delayed, because after a aiven time, and in the event of certain circumstances taking place, they become use less ; but the season for congratulation will bear post ponement ; nor is it without reason that the compli ments of the most tardy are often the most acceptable. If, therefore, amid a press of important Parliamentary matter, we have suffered Mr. D. W. HARVEY'S mo tion on Railways to pass without comment of any kind, our apology must be sought for in the fact, that Par liament decided, as we had hoped it would, upon this question. Had the House of Commons adopted the motion—or even evinced a disposition to do so—we Should at once have denounced it as fraught with danger to the country. And here we may as well confess that we are strongly Opposed to the principle of delegating excessive powers to a section of either House of Parliament. We are for no secret tribunals hedged in by privileges. We want n 6 Committees Of Public Seely. The people have some redress in cases of the invasion of their fiber- ties by a separate branch of the Legislature but the question is very different when their rights are tam pered with by small Sections of the Legislative body— screened from public view by the nature of their deli berations, protected by the ample shield of Parlia mentary privileges, and ever ready to avail themselves of such privileges, when the objects of just censure or merited exposure. Besides, we object to putting men into situations, in which the means of corruption, skil fully employed, may endanger the liberties of any por tion of the people. Bribery may be practiced in such a variety of ways—a corrupt influence may be exer cised so very indirectly, and yet so effectually, when the number to be gained over is exceedingly limited—that we would hesitate for a long time before admitting that powers which belong to the British Parliament should be entrusted to the exercise of any twelve or fourteen individuals, protected by the privileges, and yet screened from the public r esponsibility, of the second and third branches of the legislative body—namely, popular' opinion. With respect to the question of a Committee to watch over metropolitan Railway Bills, we agree in opinion with the Right Hon. the Member for Tam worth. We would extend no protection to London which we would deny to Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, or Dublin. The metropolis is quite as well able to protect itself as the great pro vincial towns of the United Kingdom are separately to protect themselves. We are for no local privileges— no rights of sanctuary against the claims of national commerce. Let it not be presumed however that we approve of every scheme which is set on foot for carrying on Railway projects, because we condemn the-plan of leaving them to be approved of or rejected by a select Committee of the House of Commons. On the con trary, many of them are mere bubbles, the bursting of which will involve hundreds of persons in absolute ruin. Of this description are most of the opposition lines of road—most of the plans for superseding lines already sanctioned by the Legislature, or in a state of considerable forwardness. In the same condemned list may be included lines for extremely short distances, incapable of further :extension —such as Railways from towns adjacent to the sea coast, to the beach or common landing place. But instances of this nature must be as obvious to the whole House of Commons as to a dozen or more of its members ; whereas the risks of undue influence are but as one to thirty. Where speculation is carried on to such an immense extent, it is morally impos sible that some of the projects should not fail ; but the only effectual remedy for such evils must be sought for in the prudence of the share-holders. There is no good which we enjoy which may not, by the per version of its uses, become an evil ; but are we to in fer from this, that it ought to be dispensed with al together ? The first care of Parliament should be to give every encouragement to the great lines for connecting the extremities of the kingdom with the metropolis ; the next to encourage the formation of such lines as will connect the trading and manufacturing districts. Thus, next to the Great Northern and Western lines of road, we should recommend to the notice of the House of Commons the plan for carrying a road , be tween the great co mmercial and manufacturing towns of Manchester and Leeds. Such projects as this we regard as vitally important to the trade of the country ; and besides, when finished, it will form a link in a chain which will connect the Irish sea with the German ocean. At the same time, in the construction of the most necessary lines of road, care should be taken to watch over, and protect to the utmost, the property of individuals. The wel fare of the country can never be promoted by acts of private wrong ; the body politic must suffer in the injury sustained by the least of its members. It will therefore form an important part of the duty of Parlia ment to restrain the random projects of mere specula tors ; to see that when two lines of road promise equal advantages, preference be given to that which is least likely to depopulate small towns already built, or even to involve the humblest innkeeper in ruin. With this view it might be proper to select the sites of many of the present turnpike roads for time construction of rail ways—many of them being of sufficient wideness to admit of a Railway on either side without impairing their present utility. All this, however, can be done without the appointment of a select Committee to watch . over and report upon Railway projects—without the establishment of a supreme junta, with powers adequate to the abrogation of the first principles of social justice. In the House of Commons last night, Mr. Po u- LETT SC ROPE moved for, and obtained, leave to bring in a Bill for the relief and employment of the desti tute poor in Ireland. This is the second motion which has been made on this subject since the opening of the present Session of Parliament ; nor does it appear from the Order Book, that they include a reference to half the Bills in preparation for the removal of Irish distress. Good intentions must always command re spect, but tivey Are not necessarily followed by wL acts. Pritenee vvoultl suavest that gentlemen who d eep ly sympathise with the sufferings endured by the destitute poor in Ireland, would rather unite with the Government in preparing a measure applicable to the whole country, than in loading the table of the House of Commons with crude ill-digested schemes, in most of which the head is led captive by the kindlier feelings of the heart, " In the Since the above was written, we have learned that the Tories were all yesterday busy in propagating a VIE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1856. multitude of councils there *is safety ;" but confu. sion inevitably follows a multitude of legislative enact ments. We are very far from desiring to have it in ferred that Sir R. MUSGRAVE and Mr. POULETT SCROPE have been actuated by other than the purest motives, and the most philanthropic sentiments, i►► making their respective motions on the subject of Irish distress. On the contrary, we consider that the views of both gentlemen entitle them to the gratitude of the people of Ireland, as well as to the respect of every right-minded man in this country. What we object to is the unnecessary introduction of Bills, which must give way to the measure which ,the 'Govern ment is preparing upon the same subject. What Ireland wants is a Poor Law—a single legislative Act —not a dozen of conflicting statutes. The Govern ment has given the strongest assurance of its deter initiation to ameliorate the condition cf the Irish poor, by a law which will be brought forward as soon as the Commissioners have made their Report. No*, one law is quite enough on the subject; and therefore we should recommend to those gentlemen whose Bills are about to be laid before Parliament, to wait till the Ministerial Bill is ready, and then see if they cannot engraft upon it all those sounder portions of their Bills, which the Law Officers of the Crown shall have overlooked or omitted. If the Government fear to act in the absence of further evidence on the subject of Irish distress, lest that by so acting a greater injury might be done to the country, we cannot perceive what rational grounds there can be for precipitancy on the part of individuals with far more limited means of information. -The Reform of the Irish Corporations is perhaps the most important of the many important questions which are to come under the consideration of Parlia ment during the present Session. It is not merely the destruction of the enormous abuses with which these Corporations Abound, that imparts to the subject an intense interest. No one—not even the most out rageous of the Tories—either pretends to deny the existence of the abuses, or has the face to stand up for their continuance. So hopeless indeed do the leaders of that perverse faction consider the preservation of these their favourite fortresses, that they have offered to raze them to the ground rather than run the risk of having them occupied by those who would render them a national benefit. This however is a compromise which cannot be ac cepted. Were Ireland to consent to the abolition of her Municiial institutions, she would seal her own de gradation, and justly forfeit both the sympathy and the respect of the whole world. No—lreland must now stand upon the point of honour. She must maintain at whatever hazard, her right to participate on equal terms, in the blessings of the British Constitution. Hav ing been incorporated with the British empire —form ing as she does,—or at least as she has been told she d oes _part and parcel of the empire, she must repel with disdain the insulting imputation which has been thrown upon her by SIR ROBERT Peel that she is not fit to stand by the side of England and Scotland—that her sons, though worthy to fight the battles of freedom, are unworthy to exercise the privi leges of freemen. Ireland, we repeat, cannot submit to this assumption of superiority over her, by those who have solemnly recognized her as an equal. It is true this equality has never yet been acknowledged but in words and parchments. We look in vain, through the history of the period which has elapsed since Ireland was united to Great Britain, for a solitary instance, i n the treatment of Ireland, in which her interests have been considered identical with those of England and Scotland. The moment is, however, now at hand, when, by the decision of the Municipal Corporation question, not this or that Tory Lord Lieutenant or Secretary, but the British Legislature must, before the world, either practically acknowledge, or practically repudiate, the principle that Irish and English inte rests are inseparably interwoven with each other. The whole of the Paris papers of Sunday have been received. In the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday no explanation took place on the subject of the Mi nistry. "It is necessary (says the Journal des Debats) that the king should know whether it is the will of the Chamber to satisfy the pretensions raised by the retirement of the Cabinet by a compromise, by a coalition, or if it does not rather return to the road which the majorities have followed for these five years, no matter with what men, provided they are 'found upright and sincere.' . According to the linpartial, the Ministerial inter regnum may be protracted for all the week, in conse quence of a new intrigue, the parties to which have an interest in putting off' the denou?ment. The Temps and the Courrier Francais are likewise of opinion that there may be considerable delay. M. MOLE again waited on the KING on Saturday evening : this is all .that is known of the progress of the Ministerial crisis. THE SUN EXPRESSES. (COPY.)

" THE S UN " NEWSPAPER. —On Friday morning last at 11 o'clock, an Express Edition of this paper arrived at the News room in this town, containing an account of the debate in the House of Commons up to seven o'clock on Thursday evening, which otherwise would not have reached this town till 12 o'clock on the next day.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. The Parliamentary campaign is at length opened. On Thursday afternoon his Majesty went in State from St. James's Palace, opened Parliament in person, and delivered his Royal speech, or rather that of his Ministers, which we received ex press before eight o'clock the following morning, a distance of nearly two hundred miles, performed in about sixteen hours, by the agent of The Sun evening London paper—an hour after we had it in type, and before ten it was printed and dis tributed to most of our readers and subscribers—an earnest.of the expedition we promise them upon all similar occasions, and should the Session be lengthened out, many scarcely less im portant may be anticipated. A second Express from The Sun Office reached Manchester at half-past ten o'clock last night. —Bolton Chronicle. " THE SUN" EXPRESS.-Though too late to be of any use to us in our last publication, we have to acknowledge the re ceipt on Friday forenoon, about eleven o'clock, of an express edition of The Sun newspaper, containing the debates on the address, in ten columns, down to a late period of the previous evening. We hope that these exertions will continue to com mand an increased amount of patronage.—Nottingham Review. On Friday morning last, about ten o'clock, we received an express edition of The Sun newspaper, containing ten columns of the debates of the previous evening, in both Houses of Parliament. The almost incredible efforts made by the con ductors of this paper, to forward the earliest information into the country, will no doubt be fully appreciated by our provin cial politicians.---Nottingham Journal. " TuE St.TN."—Ou Thursday forenoon we were favoured, per Mr: Wiley, with 'an Express Edition of The Sun, contain ing the King's Speech on the Opening of Parliament, by ten o'clock ; and soon after two with a later edition, containing the speeches of the movers and seconders of the Address in both Houses of Parliament, given at great length, and with a cor rectness we have not seen surpassed in newspaper reporting. The speech of our worthy Member, Mr. Parker, is evidently given verbatim. Such extraordinary exertions, we trust, will meet with corresponding support from the public.—Sheifield Iris. " TIIR SUN" EXPRESL—We have again to tender our thanks to Mr. Young, the enterprising proprietor of The Sun, for his praiseworthy exertions in forwarding, by express, copies of The Sun with the King's Speech. Our best thanks are also due to Messrs. Rutherglen and Co., and Mr. W. R. M'Phun, agents for The Sun, for their promptitude in supplying us with copies of the paper. The Express reached Glasgow about 20 minutes to 11 A.M., and thus anticipated the mail about three hours and a half.---Glasgow Evening Post. EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH.—We cannot suffer the oppor tunity to pass without making the expression of our thanks as well as astonishment at the speed with which Mr. Murdo Young, the spirited proprietor of The Sun newspaper, for warded to us, through the medium of Mr. Wiley of Sheffield, a copy of the King's Speech. This important document reached us at ten o'clock on Friday forenoon: and we were enabled to publish a second edition, containing his Majesty's Address, considerably before the arrival of the mails from the south. A second express reached us at three o'clock in the afternoon, and we were enabled also to publish a third edition, containing the debate on the Address up to nearly eight o'clock on the previous evening. The extraordinary dispatch in transmitting this intelligence is entitled to the highest praise, and has af forded the highest gratification.—Doncaster Gazette. Tun SUN EXPRESS.—Notwithstanding the fall of snow we received The Sun Express report at four o'clock in the after noon of Friday, comprising the whole of the Debate on the Address and Amendment, and the result of it in the house of Lords ; and, with the exception of Lord Palmerston's and Mr. O'Connell's speeches, and Mr. Shaw's observations, the entire of the debate upon both in the House of Commons. This—when we consider the quantity of matter reported, the state of the roads which might have deterred from, rather than retarded, the attempt to express in a given time, and the time in which that Express was performed—was extraordinary and deserving of all praise. We have had many opportuni ties of witnessing and giving testimony to the exertions of the conductors of The Sun, in transmitting, by express, impor tant Parliamentary proceedings ; and, it is a testimonial of credit most justly due to them, that they communicate their Express Reports to their provincial contemporaries, and to those in Scotland and Ireland, without reference to the poli tical opinions of any of them. This is a degree of fairness and impartiality, which we are pleased to have it in our power to acknowledge.—West Riding Herald. We are indebted to the spirited proprietors of The Sun for a very early copy of his Majesty's Speech. That speech was delivered, as our readers know, on Thursday afternoon, and at ten o'clock on Friday night, copies of The Sun, containing that document, reached Carlisle, anticipating the mail nearly seven hours. Immediately after the arrival of The Sun, ex presses were promptly dispatched to Glasgow and Edinburgh. However we may differ in politics with The Sun, it is only fair that we should give them credit for their vigilant exer tions, and we may here state that at a numerous party, held the s me evening, an unanimous vote of thanks was awarded to the Editor of that paper, for his efforts to ensure early intelligence to the readers of newspapers throughout the empire.—Carlisle Patriot. By delaying last week's impression for a post, we were enabled to avail ourselves of the Express Edition of The Sun, and give to our readers a full account of the opening of the Session of Parliament by the King in person, a copy of the Royal Speech, and a great part of the debate on the Address. —Carnarvon Herald. - - THE SUN EXPRESS.—We are indebted to the proprietors of the The Sun Paper for an Express Edition of that Paper, which reached us at two o'clock on Friday, above nineteen hours before we should have received it in the reg ular course by the mail, conta i n i ng t h e conc l us i on o f t h e deates in the House of Lords on the Address, and the proceedings in the House of Commons up to a late hour, which occupied ten closely printed columns. This is decidedly the best paper for early intelligence.—Derby Reporter. THE SUN EXPRESS.—In our hurry of tu;iness last Fri day, we omitted noticing the very great exertions of the Pro prietor of The . Sun newspaper in disseminating the IC ing's Speech, &c., with the opening of Parliament, on the previous evening (Thursday), the papers having been received by horse express, by way of Newark, 011erton, and Worksop, by ten o'clock on Friday morning, with the King's Speech : and a little after two on the same day, by a chaise and four, an ex press and later edition arrived, with the debates to the close in the Lords, and five extra columns (to the Second Edition) of th© debates in the Commous. Such exertions deserve the pa tronage of the public, which, we trust, will be amply ex tended.—Sheffield Mercury, Feb. 13. THE SUN EXPRESSES.—The spirited proprietor of The Sun has renewed his exertions to furnish to the country the most important of the Parliamentary proceedings some hours earlier than by the ordinary mail—thus we had the King's Speech yesterday morning by ten o'clock ; and at half-past two, Mr. Wiley arrived by Express, with the Second Edition of The Sun, containing the debates up to about twelve o'clock on Thursday night.—Sheifield Independent. By • the exertions of the Proprietors of The Sun, often exerted in similar cases, and by the polite attention of Mr: Rutherglen and Mr. M'Phun, their Agents in Glasgow, we were enabled, in a Second Edition of our last, to give his Majesty's Speech at the opening of Pa:liament.—Paisley Advertiser;'Fefr. 13. There is a report. on the Tuileries of a visit to the South of - France, which the KING, it is said, will make at the .beginning of the summer. His MA JESTY-will, it is rumoured, go first to Blaye, where he will embark for Bordeaux in a steam-boat. From Bor deaux he will go to Toulouse, and return to Paris by way of Montpellier, Nismes, Lyons, and Burgundy. Measures are already taken in anticipation of this journey. Persons well-informed add, that the depar ture of his MAJESTY will be preceded by the procla mation of a. general amnesty. So be it. THE NEW BARONETS.—In addition to the gentle men already mentioned as being about to have the dignity of Baronet conferred upon them, we understand that the following gentlemen are to be advanced to the same honour :—Lieute nant.;Colonel Henry Fairfax, the only sou. of the late Admi ral Sir William G. Fairfax, Knight Banneret, Captain of the flag-ship in the memorable battle of Camperdown ; Sir T.

KING'S BENCH-(THIS 1)1Y). ATTENDANCE OF• ATTOUNEYS At the sitting of the Court one of the solicitors engaged in the first case called, was not in attendance, and on his appear ance some time afterwards, Lerd Denman reprimanded him in very strong terms. The absence of the attorney might be the ruin of his client, and some time or-other he feared he should be called on to try an action to recover damages against a soli citor for neglect of his duty. SMITH 17. FAM.AR. Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK (with whom was Mr. Payne) stated the case. It was an action brought by the Clerk of Works to recover compensation for having been dismissed without due notice and proper cause. The connexion between the plaintiff and defendant commenced in consequence of an advertisement in the Times newspaper, in the month of July, 1831, for a person capable of surveying, measuring, snd super intending builders' work, and in the month of October follow ing, the plaintiff agreed t o act as Cl e rk of Works, at a salary of 1001. a-year. He remained in the defendant's employment, acting in that capacity, until the month of March following, when he was suddenly dismissed for refusing to carry a hopper head (that part of a water-pipe which is fixed to the top of the building) up a ladder, which was certainly no part of the duty of a Clerk of the Works. He had been nearly six months in the defen dant's employment,and one quarter's salary, °351., had been paid. Ile contended that when a yearly servant was dismissed without notice, he was entitled to at least a quarter's salary. One of the grounds of defence was, that the plaintiff was not competent, but the very fact of the defendant having employed Mr. Smith for nearly six months was a proof that he must have been fully competent to discharge the duty of Clerk of Works. He should now call witnesses to prove these facts, and he trusted the Jury would consider his client entitled to their verdict. Thomas Want—l am a bricklayer and builder. I have seen the plaintiff acting as Clerk of Works for the defendant, and I think him competent. Cross-examined by Mr. PLAT r.—The brick-work was done by me of the houses at Chiswick, and I was there two or three times a week. There is a sort of work called " pockets," which it hollow brick-work filled with rubbish. I can't say how many pockets I put in each house, but Mr. Farlar found fault with them, and they were altered. I do'nt know whether it was Smith's duty to know of these " pockets," and prevent their being made. There were pieces of wood inserted in the brick work. The tops of some of the door-ways were altered. There were ten houses altogether to be built. I saw a Mr. Blower giving directions there—he gave me directions two or three times. George Want--I am son to the last witness, and superin_ tended the works. I saw the plaintiff there acting as clerk of the works, and I think he was competent to discharge the duty. By Lord DENmAN—I don't think Smith knew any thing of the " pockets." It was his duty to oversee the works, but he might have been in another part of the building at the time. H. Payne, architect and surveyor—There are some situa tions in which "pockets" would not be detrimental to building. Lord DENMAN—Do you mean to say, Mr. Payne, that where a man contracts to put solid brick work, he is justified in putting rubbish ? It might as well be said that robbing a rich man of 101. was no injury to him—it certainly was not ; but we all know what the person who takes the money ought to be called. William Smith—l saw the plaintiff asting as clerk of works. He gave me directions, and I considered him competent. I told the defendant that I had seen the plaintiff's children taking away chips in baskets. That is generally done by persons em ployed upon a building. The wood taken away could be of no service in the building. William Bright—l am a civil engineer. I have known Mr. Smith for some months. From the plaintiff's mode of giving directions, from his sketches, and the general correctness of his opinions when employed at Fishmongers' Hall, I consider him perfectly competent to act as clerk of works. He was a journeyman carpenter at Fishmongers' Hall. James Vine and some other witnesses were afterwards exa mined to the same effect. Mr. PLATT then addressed the Jury for the defendant. He would show that the plaintiff had neglected his duty, and had permitted bad work and rubbish to be put in instead of the substantial brick-work which his employer bad contracted for. He should also prove, that besides the quarter's salary of 251., a sum of 181. 19s. had been tendered, and he was satisfied the Jury, after hearing all the facts of the case, would agree with him that that was all the plaintiff was fairly entitled to. Witnesses were examined, who proved that the work was imperfectly done, and that the plaintiff was in fault. One of them proved tendering 181. 19s. to the plaintiff, and another deposed, that on the plaintiff refusing to take the hopper head up the ladder, the defendant said to him, " Then you leave my employment directly." Lord DENMAN thought there must be a verdict for the plaintiff, as the defendant had overlooked his neglect of duty, and had dismissed him for not doing what was no part of his duty: The Jury found for the plaintiff 61, Is., whiol.,-wlth the 181. 19s. tendered, made a quarter's salary of 25/.

CITY, TWELVE ( CLOCK. Charleston papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to Jan. 20. We give the fol- lowing extracts : " FROM NASSAU.—The British schooner Anna, Captain Young, has arrived at this port in ten days from Nassau, and we have received the Nassau papers to the 6th inclusive. The Kingston papers received at Nassau state that the conduct of the apprentkes; in some districts, is orderly, and in others the reverse. The immigration of labourers and artizans is much encouraged. A ship which had previously brought out a great number from Germany had again arrived with 500 mare, go° hundred and thirty vessels passed the Stirrup Quay, B erry Island, from Nov. 24 to Dec. 25." A letter from Nassau adds, that the 180 Texean volunteers who were taken by an English man of war some time since, having committed piratical sets, their trial would take place in about eight days. " FLORIDA. —We learn from Mr. Forrester, passenger in the Mills, that the Indians were within fifteen miles of S 6, Au gustine, which was guarded when he left by only 70 mc., ca pable of bearing arms • and that had the L aJiilllS made a de scent upon it, there is little;dont.t but they would have suc ceeded in their attack. The succour, however, they would receive of troops and arms would render that place secure." AvarTINE, JAN. have just been favoured with an interview of an officer in the army, after the battle gained of the 31st ult. He states that 200 regulars and 30 volunteers were engaged, and the attack of the I ndians was desperate, A number of charges were made by our troops bef ore th e enemy gave way, and before they were finally routed. Our troops kept the ground three hours after the action, Our loss was fifty-six killed and wounded of the regular; and seven wounded of th e volunteers. The loss of the enemy is supposed to be 100 killed and wounded." MOBlLE.—Cotton :—The receipts of this article the present season have been very light, attributed mainly to the un willingness of the planters to enter the market at rates hitherto current; and the transactions of the week have been on a limited scale compared to the demand. An anxiety to purchase is evident, but owing to the small stock offered, particularly of good fair and good cottons, the sales have reached only about 5,000 bales. Prices have, however, advanced."

HENLEY-ON-THAMES, FEB. 15.—The friends of Municipal Reform will be gratified to hear of the complete triumph of public opinion, in favour of the measure, in the town of , Henley. A public meeting of the inhabitants had been held on the Ist of Febeuary to petition for Reform to their town, at which part of the resolutions were gone through, when the opponents of the measure (principally composed of members of the Corporation) finding their numbers unavailing, had re course to clamour ; and the Chairman being wholly unable to obtain order, was compelled to adjourn the meeting for the 15th. At the a , :journed meeting (this day) the friends of Liberal measures carried their cause through triumphantly, in spite of the ill-advised opposition of the Rector, (on pre vious occasions the friend of Reform measures) in utter con• tempt of the vapouring of the town-clerk, the sapient appeals of his deputy, and the indecent and violent personalities of various menthe rs of the Corporation, the resolutions were car ried by a considerable majority, and the petition is now in the course of signature. We trust, that upon its presentation to Parliament, due justice will he done to the petitioners ; and that a respectable and intelligent town like lienly will not long be under the domination of a self-elected body. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. feel it my duty to call the attention of the public to a system of most determined and atrocious villany prac tised against myself, which I believe to be totally without parallel. At the last General Election, I stood forward as one of the supporters of the Conservative party, and proposed Sir Thomas Cochrane as a candidate to represent 'Westminster in Parlia ment. I acted conscientiously, and without apprehension of the consequences : for, when before was it known in England, that the open expression of political principles, would be fol lowed by deadly and persevering animosity ? From that moment, however, to the present, I have been subjected to a cousse of assassin-like persecution. Anony mous letters have been daily distributed by all possible means, till at length many thousands have been put in circulation over every part of the kingdom ; at first attacking my credit, then accusing me and my Assistants in my business, as being con nected with most of the robberies and forgeries which have occurred in the metropolis ; at one time informing the Cus toms that I had smuggled goods in my house ; at another acquainting the police that I was a party to some nefarious transaction ; and at length attaining the utmost and most re volting boundary to which anonymous accusation can reach. Considerable rewards have been offered, as one mean's of dragging the intended assassin of my respectability and, peace to justice ; and I now make this app ea l t o t h e pu bli c, t h a t those who have received, or may receive, such letters, may be aware of 66 system of which such communications form & part, that no means may be left untried for bringing the of fender to that punishment he so justly merits, and that all honest men may join in crushing this most outrageous assault upon private character. JOHN BARIVISE. 29, St. Martin's-lane, Feb. 1836. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the LORDS' last night three petitions, complaining 0 agricultural distress, were presented ; Lord Wynford post poned his motion on the subject, which stood for this day, till Monday. The resolution to which the Commons had agreed, relative to the substitution of a good plain round hand, for the present black-letter engrossing, was laid on the Table. In the COMMONS' many petitions were presented in favour of Mr. Buckingham's claim to compensation. Petitions, also, complaining of agricultural distress, and praying, for inquiry, were presented. Mr. Pease presented a petition from a printer in Hull, complaining of the conduct of certain magistrates there. Mr. Wason g,ave notice that he will move that the evidence on the Carlow ,petitions be taken at the Bar of the House. Mr. Tooke moved that all Divorce Bills, in a certain stage, should be referred to a Select Committee, inst ea d of examining witnesses at the Bar of that House ; but, at the suggestion of Hon. Members, the motion was withdrawn. In consequence of Lord Mulgrave having set aside a Mr. Lee, who was about to be sworn in as Sheriff, Colonel Per ceval moved for a Return connected with the subject. Mr. Roebuck postponed his motion relative to Canada. The Hon. Gentleman then brought forward his motion for a Select Com mittee to inquire into the Administration of Justice in the Mauritius. A debate of some length arose. Sir George Grey spoke against ; Mr. Buller, Mr. Buxton, and Dr. Lushington in favour of, his motion, which, on a divi sion, was lost by a large majority (one hundred and fifty-eight). Mr. P. Scrope obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the relief and employment of the destitute poor of Ireland. Lord Mor path gave notice that it was the intention of Government to introduce a measure on the subject during the present session. Mr. Hume animadverted on the laws respecting Assessed Taxes; to the evils and inconveniences of which th e Hon. Member called the attention of the House. Returns of these taxes, and the surcharges made on them, were then moved for and ordered. Mr. C. Buller presented the petition (which will be found in another column) from A. Vigors, Esq., relating to the Carlow election, praying for a full inquiry, and that all who had acted illegally might b e p un i s h e d. Colonel Bruce and Mr. Hope said all they could against the statements con tained in the petition. It will be seen that the tables were turned by Colonel Vigor's testimony, and that disclosures, which cannot but be painful and most mortifying to c er tain opponents of Mr. O'Connell, were last night made public. The House was cleared for a division, but none took place. The petition was accordingly ordered to be printed. The House then adjourned, at about One, p.m. DESTRUCTION OF LORD NEWBOiItIUGII'S MANSION I N WALES. —The town and neighbourly Jo d o f Car narvon was thrown into considerable co9ternae io n on Wed' nesday night, between nine and ten, by the arrival of express messengers, stating that Glynllifon, the nol.;le mansion of Lord Newborough, situated about five miles from that town, was on fire. On arriving at the park, it via% evident that the mansion could not be saved ; the roof b:,.(1 fallen in, and the flames were bursting from ev eryvv%ldow. The la w n wag cove red with pil es o f costly ;urn:lure, pictures, pier-glasses, choice specimens of art antiquities, and books. The fire engines were then directed to preserving the arched cellars, and in that they Were successful. By an early hour in the morning, • the stately pile was completely gutted, and nothing left but the bare and blackened walls. At the time of the fire Lady Newborough was in the nursery with the nursemaid, putting the child t o -b e d , and the first incident whi c h a l arme d her La-- dysthip was the falling of th e ce ili ng i n the room above..--.
