In the Commons, Mr. MINTZ moved the second reading of the Birmingham Corporation Bill, which was opposed by Mr. DUGDALE, and on a division the motion was - rejected by a majority of 10. The Bill consequently was thrown out. In answer to a question from Mr. E. RICE, relative to the appointment of Commissioners on the Dover Har bour of Refuge, Sir ROBERT PEEL said he had that day signed six letters to naval officers, requesting them to act 'upon the Commission. Lord SANDON asked Lord ASHLEY to state what course he intended to pursue with regard to the Fac tories Btll. Lord ASHLEY said he would offer no oppo sition to the withdrawal of the Bill, but on the un derstanding that the Government would immediately introduce another Bill, and 'take the discussion on an early day after Easter. Sir .TAMES GRAHAM gave notice that on Friday he would move, that the Order of the Day for the House going into Committee on the Bill be discharged, and that he would then move for leave to bring in a new Bill. On the House agreeing to this course, he would move, that the Bill be read a second time on Friday, and printed, and that the second reading be fixed for an early day after Easter. The further consideration of the report on the County Coroners Bill was postponed till after Easter. A brief discussion took place on the Masters and Servants Bill, which was opposed by Mr. DUNCOMBE, Mr. FERRAND, and Mr. HumE, but it lead to no result. The second reading of this Bill, it would appear, is also to be postponed. Lord WoRSLEY, on account of ill health, postponed his motion on the Commons Inclosure Bill till the 24th of April, and the Ilouse adjourned at Six o'clock. Who has not heard of the " Song of the Shirt," which, if THOMAS Hoop had never written any other song, would have immortalised him. Who that has read it, can forget these lines— "Oh Gon! that bread should be so dear, And flesh and blood so cheap." In these two lines the whole question at issue be tween the Pro. Corn-law and the Anti-Corn-law supporters, is comprised. .Bread dear—labour cheap : the interest of the owners of the soil! promotee— that of the labodrer disregarded. RENT—RENT— RENT !—the motive power ; all other considerations made subservient to it. This is, alas, too true a picture of the present state of matters in England. It is a state of society which cannot be vindicated, which cannot be justified ; but which is, nevertheless, strictly the fact, strictly true, and " pity, indeed, 'tis true." 111 the philanthropy lavished upon the condition of ,the 10.bourin g classe3 in this country, is but mockery, so long - as that grand remedy for all the evils which the working classes have to endure, namely, the repeal of those laws which make corn dear, and restrict the employment of labour, remains untried. Bread cheap labour dear would be a - far more natural state of things, and a far more beneficial one, than the present. The " Song of the Shirt" might be made a text, from which humane legislators might hold forth ; and the misery which the poor feel, in the state of society that now exists, might be averted, if real philanthropy prevailed, in place of that spurious be nevolence which takes the place of genuine charity. The House of Commons will waste night after night in discussions as to the number of hours that the fac tory labourer shall work, regardless altogether of the time requisite for him who earns his money by piece work to labour, in order to procure the necessaries of life. .The dearer bread is made by artificial means, the longer time the labourer is compelled to work, in order to gaits the material for existence. And yet all the energies of Parliament are directed to limit the hours of labour, and at the same time to make it necessary for filo labourer to toil the longest possible time in order to procure bread for his family. The Anti-Corn-law League has done great things, but it has still greater achievements to accomplish before it brings the dictates of common sensito bear upon the legislation of this country. An eccentric, but not unamusing, article, appears in the Post of this morning, on the subject of " Mr. JonN CADE"--all Sir ROBERT PEEL respectfully calls that great practical philosopher —and his political principles. The object of our Contemporary is to show that, for the last hundred and fifty years and upwards, the House of COMMOBS has been, to all intents and purposes, a close follower in Can's footsteps, and that a pm digious number of his most zealous disciples may I still be found gracing the Conservative benches. "By virtue of its Constitution since the 'year 1688," says the Post, " the House of Commons has been a giant JACK CADE. Since that memorable period, the most valuable forms of property have, in truth, been stripped of all security by the direct agency of the House. Was CADE a revolutionist ? The constitution of St. Stephen's is the spawn of revolution. Did JACK CADE propose to confiscate the possessions of the rich ? Since 1688 the House has been chiefly occupied in pil laging the poor. In 1688 the Commons robbed the Crown of all the prerogatives of sovereignty. Subse quently they robbed the Crown of its possessions in land." It is in the two last sentences of this notable passage that our Contemporary's animus breaks out. He cannot forgive the House of Commons for its injustice and audacity in having ventured to inter fere with the sacred doctrine of—what POPE calls— " the right divine of kings to govern wrong." He is in arms to resent its tyranny in having dared to cashier JAMES 11. Though the matter is one of such long standing, yet the Post is just as irate as if he had himself been one of the leading organs of Absolutism in the year 1688: We suppose we shall next find him defending the encroachments of a TIBERICS and a CALIGULA on the rights of. the Roman senate and people ; or launching the heavy thunders of his indig nation at the head of the democratic DEMOSTHENES for having opposed himself to the despotism of PHILIP of Macedon. The Revolution of 1688 has long been a sore subject with our eccentric-minded*Contemporary. He sees nothing in it but a flagrant breach of good faith and just:ca on the part of the Leg'slature. He passes by, as a matter far beneath his lofty consideration, the no torious fact that JAMEs 11. was a violator of all the laws of the realm ; tffat he trampled upon liberty of conscience, treating the people just as if they were so many brute beasts to be dealt with according to his own sovereign will and pleasure ; that he promoted discord among the different religious sects in the community for the purpose of furthering his own fanatical views ; and that he was only deprived of his Crown when every other means of reclaiming him hadbeen tried and found utterly unavailing. Had this Royal tyrant—this gloomy, ferocious bigot, who, except in intellect, was a perfect. fac-simile of PHILIP IL, and whose nit turenever felt one redeeming touch of humanity ;—had this anointed vagabond been allowed to remain in unmo lested possession of his throne, the commonest rights of Englishmen would have had no existence but in fiction; Popery in its most disgusting and intolerant form, would have been the dominant religion of the country; other LATIMERS, and RIDLEYS, and CHARMERS would have been burned at Smithfield, and other BONNERS and GARDINERS would have been found to exult in their martyrdom. But our Contemporary can see nothing of all this ; in his purblind view JAMES the SECOND had a perfect right to do what he pleased with his subjects—to decimate them even, if it suited his caprice to do so ; and the House of Commons was bound in honour, common sense, justice, and law, slavishly to submit to the caprices of its Royal master. For having scornfully repudiated all idea of such base submissions in 1688, and for having, from that time to the present — more especially of late years—kept a watchful eye on the rights of the people, the House of commons is sneered at by our Contemporary as neither more nor less than an assembly of JACK CAPES I According to accounts from Madrid, of the 20th, the QUEEN, with her mother, was expected in that capital on the 23d. The Madrid journals bring no news of the slightest interest. and the intelligence from the pro vinces is nearly of the same character. In a Barcelona paper we find the following description of the executions which had taken place in that town :—" The execution of the conspirators was particularly solemn. The Con gregation of the Blood,' with the holy crucifix, assisted at the execution, which took place in the presence of an immense crown. Four men were shot." On the Madrid Bourse, the Three per Cents. were done at 351 for cash, and 361 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents, at 231 at 60 days. Most of the Paris papers contain articles on the re sults of the division which took place last Friday on Lord ASHLEY'S motion for shortening the hours of la bour, and, on the whole, discuss the important question at issue with moderation and impartiality. Even the Opposition writers throw aside their hostility to England when they see the general voice of the country roused in the cause of humanity, and Tories even preferring the interests of the poor to their political principles. In ad verting to the division the Courrier Francais says : " Nothing is more curious than what took place. The period of twelve hours, upheld by the Ministry, was re jected by 188 votes to 183, whilst, by a sort or compen sation, 188 votes to 181 rejected the period of ten hours, which had previously obtained a majority of 9. The House would have neither ten nor twelve, and it is not a caso where two negatives make an affirmative. This hesitation of the English Parliament is easily explained. Humanity declares that 12 hours' work exceeds the strength of human nature. Manufacturing and com mercial interests reply that a diminution of labour involves both a falling off of profit and a diminu tion of the general prosperity of the country. After having yielded to a movement of charity, they now cling to considerations of self-love and State reasons. It is not useless to show in what proportion these two sentiments were exhibited amongst the manufacturers. Out of 150 from Lanchashire, who sent a deputation to Sir J. GRAHAM, only 13 accepted the ten hours pro posed ; 17 would agree to eleven, and 120 called for the continuance of twelve hours' labour. They declare that even with twelve hours they are scarcely able to sustain the competition with the produce of America and Ger many ; if two hours be lopped off, the day would be in sufficient. Unfortunately, this consequence is only too probable ; several workmen declared to Lord ASHLEY that they would accept the change with terror. Would they not have the next day to repent it ? Such is, therefore, the state of the question between the work ing classes and the manufacturers—to the one less money to satisfy the most pressing necessities of life, to the others less profit. Work, then, your twelve hours ; wear out your feeble bodies with an over toil, which expects no old age ; be the devoted slaves of those in defatigable machines, which would stand still during your rest ; let the young generation be worn out in the service of those instruments of production, which crush, torture, destroy, like instruments of destruction and ruin ! War has its food for powder ; manufactures, peaceful as they are, have their food for machinery in that class of factory children decimated by a precocious conscription. However, it is not in vain that humanity raises her voice, for the words of Lord ASHLEY have roused England ; and a part of the English Press, let us render justice where it is due, examines the matter with courage." The National makes the following remarks on the subject : " With the present Constitution of England, there is no so lution possible for even a slight amelioration of the condition of the working classes. For what is the real question under discussion 1 To reduce by two hours a day's work, already very painful and very long. To give two hours' rest to women and children already worn out, to respond to the cries of a population which suffers and sinks, to satisfy those sen timents of humanity which always exist in the heart of even those nations where selfishness lias its most brilliant altars. Was thisso enormous a matter? And yet the whole manu facturing community takes alarm, and capitalists are in com motion. They speak of emigration, and cry out that there is a design of ruining manufactures. Profits and losses are calculated before the House of Commons, and it is asserted that this reform threatens the British Constitution. The speakers affirm, figures in hand, that these two hours taken away de prive the capitalist of the only profit of his production. The greatest interests of business are placed at stake, the duration of the English nation is attached to the measure, and the prospect of an irremediable misery for the wretches whom it is intended to. protect is pointed out I And the House, hesi tating and uncertain, decides and undecides in the same even ing, declaring that the present situation appears to it in tolerable, and that it can neither declare in favour of it, with out offending humanity, nor destroy or ameliorate it, without giving a shock to all the interests of manufactures. Are we then too severe, when we accuse the constitution of a - society where such results are officially stated in the face of the whole world ? And would to God that this frightful struggle between capital and labour was peculiar to Great'l3rituin ! But let any one look round him here, and cast his eyes for a moment on our own territory. We are well aware, and we declare it.with pride, that the odious abuses which the late discussion has brought to light in England, will not be met with here to the same degree. Thanks to our revolution thanks to the sentiments of equality spread amongst us, there are certain things Impossible in our country. But is there nothing to be done to render the condition of the labouring classes amongst us less wretched?" The Moniteur announces that by a Royal order, dated the 3d instant, on the report of the Minister of Marine and the Colonies, Rear-Admiral Laplace has been appointed to the command of the station of the Antilles, in place of Rear- Admiral Moges ; and Rear-Admiral Hamelin has been ap pointed to the command of the station of Oceania, and the western coasts of America, in place of Rear-Admiral Dupetit Thouars. By another Royal order, dated the 17th, Rear- Admiral Turpin is appointed Major-General of Marine at Toulon, in place of R ear -Ad m i ra l Hamelin. The following are additional extracts from the papers : "On the 27th ult. M. Durand, responsible editor of the Nation, was condemned by default to six months' impri sonment and a fine of 6,000 f., upon a process founded on articles published in that journal on the 28th of October, 28th and 30th of November, and 14th and 15th of December last, against the reigning dynasty. M. Durand having moved in arrest of judgment, and obtained a new trial, the case came to a hearing on its merits yesterday before the Court of Assizes. The result was a conviction IT the jury upon the articles of November and December, and his re-condemnation by the Couit to the same penalties—of six months' impri sonment, and a fine of 6,000 f. The National states, that— "A great number of Ministerial Deputies have quitted Faris since the vote on'the Secret Service Money. Every o pti on which could place the exiltence vf the Cabinet in danger is now decided, and nothing remains to prevent those men from returning home, who, when in Paris, arc not easily satisfied." Letters from Naples of the 17th inst. announce the arrest of Messrs. BOZELLI and DE AUGUSTIN'S, two dis tinguished men for their literary works, of M. CHARLES POEM°, the son of the celebrated Deputy and orator of the Neapolitan Parliament of 1820, and of two nephews of General PEPE. The Courrier Francais states that Lieutenant-General PIREE, who was lately superseded in the command of the 9th military division, having published the correspon dence that had passed between him and the Minister of War, had been ordered to repair to Lille, and constitute himself a prisoner for twci months in the military prison of that city.

Mr. O'Connell left London for Dublin, vitt Liverpool, by the five o'clock train of the London and Birmingham Railway, yesterday afternoon. He will attend a meeting at Liverpool this day, and then sail for Dublin without further delay. We are happy to state that the Hon. Gentleman leaves London in better health and spirits than when he came at the commencement of the session. Every arrangement has been made for the appeal to the House of Lords, and Sir Thomas Wilde, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Austin, and Mr. Sergeant Murphy, have been retained for the traversers. Some delay took place at the Home office, in allowing the usual license for these Queen's Counsel to appear for Mr. O'Connell, but it was at last conceded, and he will have the services of as strong a bar ascould be brought to bear in his behalf.

BUNN'S BENEFIT.—This evening Mr. Bunn takes his benefit at Drury-lane Theatre. Every preparation has been made to gratify the public taste, some of the best singers on the stage have been engaged, and a new divertisse ment, highly spoken of, will be produced on the occasion. Mr. Bunn is one of the best theatrical managers of the day, and we, therefore, hope that he will meet with cordial support from the play-going public. DRURY-LANE THEATRICAL FUND DIATIVPP —Yes terday the anniversary dinner of the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund, took place at the Freemasons' Tavern.

NAPLES, MARCH 14.—We have to inform you of a circumstance which has just taken place, and will have no slight influence in heightening our exchanges, and thus render them still worse in favour of paper. u the II th inst. a decree was given out, permitting the introduction of foreign corn into the kingdom, without exacting the duty . of importation, which amounted almost to a prohibition. This measure has been adopted by the Government in consequence of the urgent wants of the people, the last crop having proved very deficient both here and iu Sicily. A great many cargoes are exported from the neighbouring ports of Genoa, Leghorn, and. Marseilles. A DISTRACTED JOURNALIST. -- The Stockport Advertiser of last week, in speaking of the division on the Factory Bill, with much simpli ci ty con f esses i ts utter inability to take either one side or the other on the sh or t-ti me ques ti on in no will expect from us an adherence ei th er t o one party or the other, and also an ex pl a nation of the grounds upon a th o e ubti following ludicrous passage ;--u Ma n y o f our rea d ers, which such an adherence is justified. But, when every cir cumstance is taken into account, we feel assured that our friends will excuse us in withholding, upon this occasion, our judgment altogether. We find the Government itself dis agreeing in this complex and difficult matter ; we find our county Members divided—one voting one way, and the other the other; we find our borough Representatives so puzzled, that they have absented themselves altogether ; and surely we, who have friends upon both sides of the ques tion, cannot be expected to treat this matter of trading interest, in the same way that we should treat a political SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vubitir Optitton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. On Sunday evening the King and Queen of the French re ceived the Spanish and Neapolitan Ambassadors, and the Duchess de Serra Capriola, Colonel Duke d'Estissac, the Prince de Salm Kirbourg, the Count de la Tourette, Count Corbineau, Viscount de Caux, Baron and Baroness Wiker sloot, M. de Bacourt, the Dowager Princess de Wagram, MM. Richond des Brus, Mathieu (de l'Ardeche), Toye, de La baume, Farran, de Vatry, and Journaulx. The Mo - niteur contains a Royal ordonnance. raising M. Ga briel Delessert, the Prefect of Police, to the Peerage. On Tuesday the Minister of Finance laid before the Chamber of Deputies a Bill by which the Government propose some modifications of the Customs Act. One of these is to raise the import duty of machinery. The subscription for shares in the Paris and Strasburg Railway was to be opened on Wednesday at the offices of M. Ganneron, the Paris banker. Count Mole was to preside on the occasion. One-half the shares have been reserved for England. It was reported on the Paris Bourse that the Committee of the Chamber of Deputies on the Budget, had decided on recommending strongly to the Government to take steps for the conversion of the Five per Cents. in consequence of the rumour that stock fell from 122 f. 40c. to 121 f. 30c. • • The Moniteur states, that the Paris Savings' Bank re ceived on Sunday and Monday last deposits to the amount of 746,622 f., and paid during the same period 1,004,000 f. The panic among the depositors manifested by these facts is stated to be founded on apprehensions of a conversion of the Five per Cents. Accounts from Athens to the 12th announce that the King had signed the new Constitution. Accounts from Portugal, received through Spain, state that Almeida has surrendered, and that the Queen has par doned the 600 men that formed the garrison, allowing pass ports to be delivered to such as demanded them. A correspondent at Naples writes, March 14 Our fes tivities this winter have been much reduced, owing to the death of the King's sister. The Austrian, Russian, and Prussian Ministers gave splendid fetes, and, since Lent began, we have had some delightful musical parties at Lady Strachan's and Mrs. Ramsay's. The weather has been throughout the winter most beautiful, and several English yachts, as well as the Crusader, belonging to H.R.H. the Count de Syracuse, have made the Bay very animated. Several matches have taken place between the yachts of Mr. Delafield, Mr. Flemming, Mr. Berney, and Mr. Flemming, jun., but, with one or two exceptions, the Crusader has had the victory. A letter from Sombez states that on the 16th a young man named Games was shot dead, by a girl whom he had proposed to marry, but afterwards abandoned for another. She invited him to meet her in the evening, and, when he arrived at the place of rendezvous, she fired a fowling-piece at him. She has been put in confinement. The Hereditary Grand Duke of Russia arrived at Darm stadt, from St. Petersburgh, on the 21st. LAW AND POLICE. At the Westminster Sessions Sarah Trueman, aged 23, a young woman of prepossessing appearance, dressed in the first style of fashion, was indicted for stealing a satin shawl, of the value of 11. 15s. The jury returned a verdict of guilty ; and, the prosecutor, Mr. Milnes, of Parliament-street, having strongly recommended her to mercy, she was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour, except three weeks' solitary confinement. At Guildhall, James Perry, Benjamin Egleton, and Peter Jordan, were brought up, the former prisoner charged with having, as porter, robbed his employers, Messrs. Sutton and Co., Bow Church-yard, andthe latter two with having been the receivers. The Magistrates determined on committing, allowing bail for Jordan and Egleton, as receivers, 2001. each personally, and two sureties each in 100/. ; but the porter, as the principal, was at once committed. Robert Frazier alias Shillington, who has been in custody for some weeks on three distinct charges of stealing three va luable gold watches, was re-examined at Lambeth-street. Mr. Norton, in committijig the prisoner, remarked that it was lamentable to see a person who had been well brought up, and whose friends were highly respectable, in the situation the prisoner had placed himself. By a letter from his father, which was then before him (Mr. Norton); it appeared that he had not been driven to dishonesty from want, as his wants had been amply supplied ; and it seemed, also, that he was the first of a large family to bring shame and disgrace upon his friends. At the Thames Police-court, Henry Symons, the master of the schooner Clementina, from St. Michael's, now lying in the London Dock,• was brought before Mr. Brodenp, on a charge of stealing a coral necklace set with rubies, with a gold stfap, value 51., the property of Elizabeth Warburton. The case was proved, and the prisoner was committed for trial. At Worship-street, William Spurrell, alias Wigram, Mary Elizabeth Spurrell, his daughter, and James Martin, a well. dressed man, described as d law-writer, were finally brought up, charged oil suspicion of having fraudulently obtained pos session of a large quantity of haberdashery goods, of the esti mated value of 250/. Mr. 13roughton said, that after giving the matter the most mature consideration, he was of opinion that the case had not beep sufficiently made out to support an indictment. The prisopers were then discharged. COI7IM-X'.&SIIIONJILTILE. We understand that, according to present arrangements, her Majesty, accompanied by the Queen of the Belgians and the Royal suite, are expected to:leave Buckingham Palace on: Tuesday next, for Windsor Castle, for the Easter recess.

Mr. Murchison had his last soiree for the season, as Pres.- dent of the Geographical Society, yesterday evening, at his residence in Belgrave-square, on which occasion the suite of rooms were crowded with ladies and gentlemen distinguished for their rank, science, or literary attainments. Among those present were the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Ebrington, Lord Francis Egerton, Lord and Lady Colchester, the Belgian and American Ministers, Sir R. Westmacott, Sir George Duckett, &c. &c. The attention of the company was parti cularly directed to the magnificent vase of Aventurine, pre sented to Mr. Murchison by the Emperor of Russia, and two exquisitely-worked plateau of inlaid damask steel, a. gift from the administration of Russian mines, and executed at the manufactory at Slataoust, on the Oural Mountains. On Wednesday a quarterly general Court of the Governors of the Scottish Hospital was held at the hall of the Corpora tion, Crane-court, - Fleet-street. The Secretary read the mi nutes of the proceedings of the last quarter, from which it appeared that in January 2001. Os. had been distributed to 363 petitioners and pensioners ; in February, 2071. 145., to 371; and in March, 212/. 155., also to 371. He then informed the Court that the application made to Prince Albert, through the medium of the Duke of Sutherland, to request his Royal Highness to preside at the approaching festival of the Insti tution, had not been attended with success. Last evening a sermon was preached at St. Olave's Church, Old Jewry, by the Rev. Edward Bickersteth, on behalf of the Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest, recently erected in Chelsea. The Rev. Gentleman, in the course of his sermon, said that the statistical reports issued by the Regis trar-General showed that 59,025 deaths from pulmonary con sumption took place in England and Wales annually. The execution of John Lawrence, for the murder of Mr Solomons, is fixed for Saturday, the 6th of April. Yesterday several houses were disposed of by auction, on the line of the contemplated new street from Shoreditch Church to the London Docks. At this-pwitta the. intended metropolis improvements a large space of ground has been cleared away, comprising nearly the two streets between Flower and bean -street, Spitalfields, and High- street, White chapel, and which has been for some time in that situation. esterday a meeting of the Governors of St. Anne's So ciety was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, to receive the report of Mr. Alderman Johnson, the treasurer. It appeared that the asylum at Brixton now contains 150 boys and 80 girls, and that the town establishment provides for 60 additional children, making a total of 292, who are all boarded, clothed, and educated on the Madras system. IMPROVEMENT OF THE QUADRANT.-Within the last ten years several attempts have been made by the inha bitants of the Quadrant, to render the Quadrant as a street what it ought to be—one of the best streets at the West-end ; but hitherto all attempt's of this kind have proved futile, until at last the nuisances have become so enormous that the re spectable portion of the inhabitants have formed themselves into an association for their removal, and with every possible chance of success. Beadles have been appointed to peram bulate the Quadrant in green uniform, having warrants, as special constables, from the Commissioners of Police. This has already proved of great service in removing prostitutes, who have made the Quadrant a special rendezvous for years past, dog-fanciers, and well-known thieves. Active mea sures are now being taken to remove all the houses of ill fame in its immediate vicinity ; and, laSly, though not least, ' the billiard-houses, which are in a blaze of light every night, and all night, Sunday not excepted. The Commissioners of Police and the parochial authorities have promised to give every assistance they possess, so that there is every reason to believe that the Quadrant will still form a portion of the first street in the world. By the provisions of Lord Lincoln's Building.,Re gulation Bill, it is enacted that premises used for the manu facture of ignitable or dangerous materials shall niit be built within 50 feet from any other house or building; and that if any such business be now carried on in any situation within such distance, then, from the expiration of the period of 30 years next after th e p ass i ngo f thi s A c t, it shall not be lawful to continue to carry on such business in such situations. Also, that it shall not be lawful to erect buildings of the dwelling-house class within 50 feet of the premises used fo carrying on offensive or noxious trades, such as those o blood-boiler, bone-boiler fellmonger, soap-boiler, tallow melter, tripe-boiler, slaughterer of cattle, sheep, or horses. PrITSICIANe HALL—We observe that within the last few days workmen have been busily engaged in the de molition of the Physicians' Hall, George-street, preparatory to the erection of the splendid edifice which is intended to be raised on its site for the office of the Commercial Bank. We understand that a new hall for the Royal College of Physi cians is to be built in the centre of the eastern division of Queen-street,—Edinburgh Ob f vver, _ POLICE INTELLIGENCE, GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) Charles Reynolds, a well-dressed man, with a profusion of black hair and mustachios, was char ge d with robbing Mr. Softimos Miles, a watchmaker, residing at No. 8, Carter-lane, Doctors' Commons, of two silver watches. Mr. Miles stated that yesterday the prisoner came into his shop and asked to look at some watches. Witness shelved him several, and the prisoner chose one, but they could not agree about the price, and the prisoner then left the shop. On the same day he came again and agreed to pay 31. 7s. 6d. Witness offered to take the amount, and the prisoner produced the money in his hand, but before he gave it to witness he asked to see another watch in the window, which witness immediately put into his hand. The prisoner then threw down the money, jumbling the two watches together, and ran out of the shop. The prisoner, after running some distance, was captured in Bell-court, Doctors' Commons; and one of the watches, which he threw over a wall 14 feet high, was found, and the other he gave to the policeman. duplicate was found in the prisoner's 'possession of va rious articles, amounting to 51., which wen supposed to have been stolen. Alderman HUGHES remanded the prisoner till Saturday nex BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A cabman named Robert Steadman, was charged before Mr. Hall, with driving his cab over a young woman named Ca roline Nolan, and thereby endangering her life in Chancery lane. It appeared that the complainant was standing in the middle of the street in Chancery-lane, last night, talking to a man. The prisoner was driving his cab down the street, and before the complainant could get out of the way the cab wheel struck her and knocked her down. She was not, how ever, severely injured, but she was bruised by the fall. As soon as she got up she gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner in his defence said, he was driving at the ordinary pace .along the street, and he thought the young woman was out of the way. It was entirely her own fault that the cab struck her, inasmuch as she had ample time to get out of the way of the cab. M. HALL questioned the policeman, and he said the pri soner was going steadily along the street. He thought the complainant herself was to blame, for if she had exercised ordinary caution, the accident would not have happened. The complainant said she had not time to get out of the way. Mr. HALL said he did not think there was much blame to be attached to the cabman, and therefore he should discharge him. The complainant, however, if she thought fit to go on with the case, might have a summons against the prisoner. The complainant said she would consult her master upon the subject. The prisoner was then discharged. CLERICENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) James Pike, having the appearance of a mechanic, was charged with wilfully and maliciously destroying a portion of a fence in the Britannia-fields, Islington, the property of Mr. Rhodes. Police-constable 237 N deposed that, at a quarter to one o'clock that morning, he was on duty in the Britannia fields, when he saw the prisoner go up to the fence, and break three pales in three different places. Witness went up to him, and asked him why he did so. The prisoner denied the charge, and witness, thereupon was accompanying him to the spot to show the damage, when the prisoner ran away, and, after a long race, was stopped by two other constables. The fence was erected to enclose some private property belonging to Mr. Rhodes, which had been long trespassed upon by the public, and through which a footway ran. Mr. Bernard Murphy, in the employment of Mr. Rhodes, swore that the amount of damage done by the prisoner was 2s. 6d. The prisoner said he was in liquor on the previous night, and did not know what he was doing. He had a wife and family. The constable said, so far from being drunk, the prisoner was perfectly sober. The prisoner then said he regretted the commission of the offence. Mr. GREENWOOD said the laW was in a very imperfect state regarding cases like the present, where, though it was satis factorily proved that wilful and malicious damage had been done, the offender could only be fined in the amount of the damage; so that a person might do ever so much damage maliciously, and escape with impunity, provided he paid a certain sum of money. He must pay the amount of damage done, 2s. 6d. Murphy added that there was a disposition in the neigh bourhood among the lower classes to injure this fence, and it required the constant attendance of policemen on the spot to prevent its destruction. Martha Cunningham, a woman of notoriously bad charac-. ter, was charged with creating a disturbance at the Clerken well workhouse, and with being drunk. The prisoner went there drunk, and her conduct was most outrageous. She applied the filthiest language towards the master, said she was starving, and when Mr. Hairnet offered her lodging and food, she became more violent and abusive than before.—Sha was sentenced to seven . days' imprisonment. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) William Carr, William Haines, and John Buehham,. were charged before Mr. Cottingham with being engaged in the manufactory of illicit glass. Richard Pope, an Excise officer, stated that, having re ceived information that a considerable trade in illicit glass was being carried on at a house in Union-court, Maz-pond, he went there, accompanied by other officers, between eight and nine o'clock on the preceding night. They effected an entrance at the rear of the premises, and on rushing up stairs discovered a room on the first-floor fitted up with all the ap paratusfor making glass. The furnace was fully heated, working with three crucible; and there was found an immense number of glass articles. The three prisoners were taken in the room, after an ineffectual attempt to escape ; and when brought before the magistrate two of them were recognised as having been previously charged with the offence.—They were fined 30/. each, and in default of payment committed for three months. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, MARCH 23.—The Minister of Finance gives notice that the inscription made in virtue of ,the laws of 6th March for the loan, said - The voluntary con tributions, amount up to this day to no more than 20,479,930 florins to the loan, and of 272,511 in volun tary contributions. _ _ _ 13y alloyal• resolution this day the time for making inscriptions, which commenced on the 18th, and was to close on the 26th, is piolonged to Thursday, the 28th, when it will be finally closed. The extension of the time 'is given, because it appears that many persons are not sufficiently aware of the great advantages connected with the loan or contributions, and the G overnment trusts that if some more time is given, they will not fail to reap the advantages held out to them. Those who do not take this course will have to blame themselves for their neglect, and vt ill have no right to complain of the blunders which they will have imposed on themselves. ROTTERDAM, MARCH 24. —We are positively in formed that the Municipal Council of this city have subscribed for the large sum, of 90,000 florins in the Three per Cent. Loan. AMSTERDAM, MARCH 26.—The Handelsblad of to-day contains a very long article, most earnestly impressing its readers with. the duty of subscribing to the loan, and showing at the same time , the great advantages which they will reap by so doing, in comparison with the burden they will have to bear it' the loan should not be effected, as the tax on property would be the necessary consequence. The Court goes into morning for three weeks for the late King of Sweden. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, MARCH 23.—The King has put off for a few days his intended visit to England. The accounts which we receive of the effects of the late inundation are very distressing. The damage done by the overflowing at the Dyle is very great. The hurricane of the 10th and 11th of this month did much damage in several parts of the province of Brabant. BRUSSELS, MARCH 25.—His Royal Highness Prince Albert is expected at Ostend on Thursday. He will pass through Belgium on his way to Coburg, but will not come to Brussels. AUGSBURG, MARCH 21.—Letters from Gallicia and Mora via mention the discovery made by the Russian Custom-house officers of immense quantities of smuggled goods in several houses occupied by Jews, respecting which the most alarming accounts are said to have been sent to St. Petersburgh. It must be certified that this discovery comes very malapropos, and that the Russian Jews on the frontier run the risk of losing by this circumstance the feeling of compassion, and in terest in their fate, which was just beginning to be exerted both in Russia and in Europe.—Allgemeine Zeitung, March 22. MILITARY FLOGGING AT CIIATIIAM.—On Monday morning, the 25th inst., one of those disgusting exhibitions of corporal punishment in the army, was. inflicted on private Martin Webber, of the 57th Regiment of Foot, on Chatham lines, in the presence of 3,000 men, belonging to the Provi sional Battalion. The whole of these troops assembled on regimental parade in the square in front of the barracks, when the sentence of the district court-martial, held on the above prisoner last week, for threatening to shoot Captain Jackson, captain of the prisoner's depot, was promulgated. The troops. were-ofterworelsmsarelned off to the Spa battery, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel T. Edwin Kelly, when the prisoner was to undergo the sentence of receiving 150 lashes. The prisoner, after being pinioned fo the triangle, and receiving tfie firststroke of the lash, cried out " murder " most lustily I and at every other infliction of the lash his cries increased in force, and were heard at a considerable distance from the spot, and owing to the desperate struggling of the prisoner, the ropes that bound his arms to the triangle became loosened, and at the eleventh stroke, it was found necessary to tighten them ; the prisoner faintly begged " for mercy, and would be a good soldier, if his further punish ment was remitted." The prisoner again received twelve more stripes with the cat, when -it was ascertained to be necessary, by Dr. French, of the Ist West India Regiment, to stop all further punishment. The prisoner having gone off into a convulsive fit, his pulse having ceased to beat, and his face had turned quite black, he was immediately released from his bondage by four soldiers who laid him on his back on the grass, and it was several minutes before any anima tion could be observed ; he was afterwards removed to the hospital : out of 150 lashes the prisoner only received 23. He bears a most depraved character, and has been five years in the service. The prisoner has also threatened to murder Sergeant Phillips of the same regiment. - PROPOSED NATIONAL MONUMENT TO NEWTON.— Mr. Steele is reviving his long cherished project of the erec tion of a magnificent National Monument to Newton, which he originated eighteen •years ago, by a letter from his own college at Cambridge, and in promoting which he has had, within' the last seven years, two petitions presented from him' to Parliament. The first was presented by Lord Monteagle, when Chancellor of the Exchequer, the second by Mr. Hume. He revives the subject by a public letter to Lord Lincoln, the Chairman of the Committee for the.lmprovement of the Me trop2lis. VISIT OF THE DUCHESS OF KENT TO THE CON TINENT.-It is the intention of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent shortly to proceed to Paris, where she will sojourn a few days, en route for Switzerland, on a visit to her sister, who will pass some months there. The departure of her Royal Highness is postponed until the return of Prince Albert. —Post. THE THAMES TUNNEL.—Yesterday, the Fancy Fair, which was commenced on Monday, in the Thames Tunnel, was continued, but there was not so numerous an attendance as on the two previous days, The Tunnel was illuminated, and the shops decorated with evergreens and ribands, and all remained in the same state as on the first day. On Monday 10,178 peisons visited the Tunnel, on Tuesday 35,440, and on Wednesday 20,740, making altogether 66,367 persons, producing 2761. 10s. 7d. for the three days. PRICE or BREAD.—According .to the average price of wheat in the Edinburgh market, the 41b. loaf will now be sold at sevenpence-halfpenny ready money or if 1 paid within a mouth, and eightpence credit —Edinburgh Advertiser, MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NE WS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,500 bales, 1,000 of which were on speculation. The market was very dull, and prices were Ad. pe , lb. lower than on Saturday. An average business was done in Railways, at steady prices. Eastern Counties were 114, Edinburgh and Glasgow 64, Grand Junction 232, Dublin and Cashel s*, South Western Eights 4a, Manchester and Birmingham 47, Manchester and Leeds, 114, Paris and Lyons 24, South Eastern 37. Again we are without any colonial advices. The Continental advices do not possess the least interest, if we except a statement that a treaty of commerce had been completed between the 'Loll Verein and the United States, limited, however to certain specified articles. The informs= tion upon this topic—important, if true, most unquestionably —is very limited, and it is much questioned in well-informed circles. But, admitting that the news is only partially correct, how assiduous ought our Government to be in counteracting the injuries that must be inflicted on our commercial and manufacturing interests, by quietly allowing other and rival States to fraternise, through the medium of reciprocal treaties, and how much will Ministers have to answer for by upholding the corn-laws, the master-grievance and preventative, as respects an extension of demand for British fabrics in foreign markets. This is a subject thought deeply upon in the City among mercantile men, and is one . which, if the policy of Sir Robert Peel as to the corn-laws, be much longer continued, will have the sure effect of making his past and warm adherents, determined and lasting opponents. One reason for discrediting the report of the treaty alleged to have been concluded is, that it is supposed to be contrary to the engagements the United States have towards England, to admit us to equal privileges with other countries.

The Short Time Committee met this evening, and unanimously adopted the following memorial, together with a petition to Parliament on the subject : " TO HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY, VICTORIA, QUEEN OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. " The Memorial of the Lancashire Central Short Time Committee showeth,— ," That your Majesty's loyal subjects, representing the feelings and wishes of the operatives employed in the fac tories in the counties of Lancaster, have, during many years, sought in vain to obtain relief from a system of excessive and injurious labour for the women and young persons so em ployed. _ _ a That on Monday, the 18th of March, 1844, the Hon. the House of Commons, after mature deliberation and discussion, resolved that women and young persons ought not to be em ployed in factories for a greater length of time in one day, than ten hours. " That notwithstanding this humane and wise determina tion of the House of Commons, your Majesty's memorialists have reason to fear that the intentions of the Legislature may be defeated by the ill-advised perseverance in a course of cruelty and injustice of your Majesty's principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, who has avowed his inten tion of withholding all relief from oppressed women and chil dren, and has sought to effect his object by means most in sulting to the faithful representatives of your Majesty's loyal subjects in Parliament, and tending to degrade the high of fice bestowed on him by your Majesty. " That your memorialists therefore humbly pray that your Majesty will be graciously pleased forthwith to dimiss the Right Hon. Sir James Graham from your Majesty's councils, and your memorialists will ever pray for the health, happi ness, and long reign of your most gracious Majesty over a contented and prosperous people. " Signed on behalf of the Committee, " GEORGE HIGGINBOTTOINI, Chairman." ST. STEPHEN, WALBROOK. Yesterday a meeting of the parishioners of St. Stephen, Walbrook, was held in the Vestry-room, pursuant to adjourn ment from February last, at which time a vote of censure had been passed on Mr. Alderman Gibbs in reference to his accounts. The meeting was called for two o'clock, at which hour a number of the parishioners assembled round the church door, but finding it closed against. them, they ap ' plied to the sextoness, who informed them that she had received express instructions from the two churchwardens, Mr. Alderman Gibbs and Mr. Eddison, not to open the church to the parishioners. The parishioners, in company with Mr. Rock, Mr. Howett, Mr. Cunliffe, Mr. Flight, and others, then applied to the churchwardens of the united parishes of St. Stephen, Walbrook, and St. Benet, Shere hog, who instantly gave directions to admit the parishioners to the Vestry-room. Ingress having been effected, Mr. Rock was voted to the chair, and commented in severe terms on the renewed officious interference of Mr. Alder man Gibbs in again excluding the rate-payers from the vestry. He stated that the receipts of Mr. Alderman Gibbs for the parish rental during the past year had been 700/., but it appeared from the accounts of the Poor-law union that the parish on the 25th December last was 150/. 9s. 11d. in debt to the Commissioners of that union. It was now suggested, with a view to open the vestry of the parish, and to remove from it the four irresponsible persons who had pre sided over it for twenty-one years, that the ratepayers should endeavour to open the vestry under the Ist and 2d William IV., c. 60, commonly called Hobhouse's Act, and by which they would be enabled to elect twelve vestrymen from amongst the parishioners themselves. A requisition on the subject had been sent to Alderman Gibbs and Mr. Eddison, who stated, in reply, that " no declaration as to the adoption or non-adoption of the Ist and 2d William IV., c. 60, could be made or published by them, they having been advised by counsel that the provisions of the statute could not be acted upon in the state of things now existing in the parish." It now only remained with the parishioners to elect their own vestrymen on Easter next. Mr. Cunliffe, Mr. Flight, Mr. Howett, and others, addressed the meeting, and offered various suggestions with reference to the proposed elections, and ultimately a resolution was passed adjourning the vestry until Easter. THE SEPARATION SYSTEM IN WORKHOUSES.— The parochial authorities of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, have purchased a house adjoining the union, in Kingsland-road, in which they accommodate all the aged married paupers with apartments, so that they may assist each other. Hum..—On Monday the new graving dock was opened to the public. The works have been completed at the cost of about 10,000/. The first ship docked was the Ganges, Captain Blythe, 755 tons register.—Hull Packet. MELTON MOWBRAY. - This renowned sporting place is filling for the races.

Net The second performance of ancient music took place ,r„ night, under the direction of th e D u k e o f W e llington. "". ductor, Sir H. It. Bishop; Leader, Mr. - Loder ; Organ, Mr ' Lucas. The perfbrmances commenced, in a sublime m anner ' with a magnificent Sanctus by Mozart, which was finely per formed. Geminiani's concerto afforded Mr. Loder (who led for Mr. Ctamer, who was unwell) an opportunity of idis playing the dexterity of his bow h an d, i n th e allegro, which is by, no means easy of execu ti on. G em i n i a ni was" o ; at Lucca, in 1666 ; came to London in 1714, where be. passed many years. In 1761, h e wen t t o Dublin, wu e„,, F, he died the following year, age d n i ne ty-six. Dieh u t Hymn is a very sweet composition, with harp oblik.l played by Mr. T. Wright ; a semi-chorus of female vole!! had a charming effect. Handel's glorious chorus closed tir first part in the most effective manner. Martini's °went., which has been as popular as Kreutzer's Lodoiska, Was ger formed on this occasion after th e ma n ner o f the old ore he tras, ending with the slo w m o vemen t, th e ron do (with t s r oboe obligato) being omitted. I n a no t e i n serted by ' Henry Bishop in the concert books, it is stated that this 0 1; ture was composed in 1774. The selections from Glu ck Orfeo is one of the finest dramatic scenes that was ever ~e °/ ; posed, and Mr. Bennett acquitted hi mse lf mo st admirao., Orpheus, in the very difficult solos which he bad to some of them high enough fur the most acute alto voice; Plandel's fuse chorus was given with a prodigiously 03 , effect. Mozart's chorus f rom Id omen i o , w hi c h he consido w to be among his best productions, was awfully grand, the !f t ' . companiments being quite overwhelming in their effe,, Caldara's CUI7I Sancto Spiritu is a subli me composition, and brought brought to close a performance which e v idently afforded t a highest gratification to a brilliant assemblage of distingt ii ,! 4 . persons. The third concert will t a k e p l ace un der the tion of the Archbishop of York, on the 17th of April.
