It was proposed also that all persons possessing a freehold inheritance of 51. clear yearly value, should have votes. He believed the. effect of these measures would be a considerable increase in the number of respectable voters in the counties. After entering into several other details, the Noble Lord announced that he would lay the Bill on the table this day, so that Members might have ample time to consider its provisions before it came on for THE NEW SWEDISH NOVEL.

EASTER MONDAY, APRIL 8. Tne RE-OPENING of ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHI THEATRE of A las (under the management and sole proprietor. ship of Mr. BATTY), with its Treble Rotation of Equestrian and Dramatic Spectacles, and unequalled Scenes of the Circle, and Batty's Matchless Stud of beautiful Horses, Fairy Ponies, &c. Mr. Batty, in announcing the Re-opening of Astley's for the se cond season of his management, begs respectfully to acquaint the Nobility, Gentry, and public that, encouraged by the flattering success during the past year, and finding the Theatre not suffi. czently commodious for its numerous patrons, he entered into an extensive arrangement with Messrs. Haward and Nixon, the emi nent builders of Lambeth, for the re-constructing on a magnificent and novel principle, the whole of the interior of the Theatre, which has been rebuilt, dress boxes enlarged, upper boxes Widened, and pit and galleries extensively improved. Fourteen glass lustres are added, and a Grecian dome ceiling, with entirely new splendid classic decorations, and gorgeous apppointnients, which, with the first-rate talent to be offered, he presumes cannot fail of obtaining that support so liberally bestowed on his endeavours during the last season.

Morning ... 5.5 minutes after 0 I Evening 17 minutes after 1. discussion. Mr. MORE OTEBRALL, though admitting that the Noble Lord had conceded every principle against which his party had contended, had yet fallen far short of what was required. If his statement was correct, the 25,000 votes which he proposed to give by the 301. clause would prove to be nothing at all. The Bill, too, would place the tenants more than ever under the power of the landlords, and a fran chise of that kind would be the greatest curse that could be inflicted on Ireland. Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought the introduction of the 301. tenant clause was very objectionable, for it would only give more power to the landlords. He was glad that a Si. clause had been proposed, and only regretted that there was not a 40s. freehold franchise. Certain changes proposed by the Noble Lord he considered would be beneficial. A great number of other Members spoke on the question, but generally refrained from giving a de cided opinion till they had read the Bill. Leave was given to bring in the Bill. Lord JOHN RUSSELL put some questions to Sir ROBERT PEEL relative to a Bill before the other House for the appointment of a judge to preside over the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The Right Hon. Baronet said the Bill would be brought before the House in the due course of busi ness, when the Noble Lord would have an opportunity of discussing it. He might at the same time state that it had been brought into the Lords independent of the Government. The House then went into Committee of Supply, when a number of miscellaneous estimates were agreed to. Tha other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at One o'Clock. It was truly observed by JEREMY BENTHAM, that " in England all other particular interests are over borne and crushed by one great particular interest, called the agricultural interest." To this one great interest all others are made subservient, all others pay homage; and the precept, " render unto CESAR the things that are CiESAR'S," is no guide as to the undue and unjust regards exacted for it. To raise the price of bread by means of the corn-laws--to in crease the annual amount of rent in consequence of the additional price that bread corn brings—are deemed fair and proper means of paying tribute to the agricultural interest. To control and restrain the hours of labour, so as to make the rate of wages rise in proportion to the insufficiency of the demand, and thus to effect an increase of wages in proportion with the increased price of bread, is also deemed worthy of English legislation to attempt. Direct extortion from the pockets of every other class is practised and sanctioned, solely for the purpose, and with the intent, of obtaining for the agricultural in terest, prices for produce, and rent for land, beyond any that justice or equity would give. What absurd principles actuate our legislators when they give way to this one-sided system, called protection, this real robbery ; and what ridiculous notions of the way to bring about their own good, are entertained by the friends of the agriculturists, when they seek to benefit them by such means. The only true mode of encouraging the growth of corn at home is to increase the demand ; which can only be done by an increased population, with abundant ability to buy, and with the power to pay, well and freely, for what they consume. Monopoly produces scarcity of provision, dearness of price, uncertainty. of supply; it cramps the trade of the country, decreases the demand for labour, lowers the rate of wages, prevents the poor man from purchasing his fair proportion of food, and imposes barriers to marriage and to the increase of the population of the country. What a mistaken plan of bringing good to their friends do they adopt. And our Legislators shall debate, night after night, whether ten or twelve hours' labour shall be the maximum of human endurance as to toil—whilst the power of enduring starvation, and the period for which it can be borne, shall never be even alluded to. They make and maintain corn-laws, which compel additional hours of labour to procure food, and yet they seek to restrain the working for that very time which by their own enactments they have rendered labour necessary. Starvation by Act of Parliament, or excessive toil, is the doctrine of the corn-laws ; restricted labour, and restricted food, that of the Factories Regulation Act. Was ever such monstrous absurdity heard of? Could it be believed that in the nineteenth century, the principles which guide the English Parliament shall he, when stripped of their covering, mere pretexts for raising rent, by causing artificial scarcity, and giving a protection to the landlords, at the expense of every other class of society ? Could it be believed that a nation of shopkeepers, as the man called us who knew well where the strength of England lay ; who knew that it lay in her trade, in her commerce, and not in her agricultural productions—for her agricul ture must flourish through her trade, not her trade through her• agriculture—would sit so quietly down under such laws as the corn-laws ? And yet, but for the efforts of the Anti-Corn-law League, the country would have sat down quiescent, and those laws might have been suffered to remain on the book, which at some future period of English history will be pointed out, as instances of partial legislation, worthy only of the very darkest ages. An interesting article appears in the last Number of the Edinburgh Review, just published, on the subject of the Marquis DE CUSTINE'S "Russia," a work which has lately attracted a considerable share of public attention. In this article numerous references are made to conversations which the author held with the Emperor NICHOLAS on matters relating to the present state of his dominions, and also to a certain memorable event in his life which took place at the period of his accession to the throne. It is well known that on the death of ALEXANDER, and the abdication of CONSTANTINE which immediately fol lowed, a dangerous revolt, which had been nine years preparing, broke out in the army, and was only sup pressed by the prompt and energetic) interference of NICHOLAS. As the CZAR is said to be exceedingly susceptible of flattery on this point, the Marquis, who was aware of his weak side, paid him sev era l delicate compliments—which none can pay so well as a Frenchman—to which his Imperial MAJESTY vouchsafed the following reply :—" You mistake : I did nothing extraordinary. I said to the soldiers 're turn to your ranks,' and as they defiled T before which oreme, t'—all I cried, ' On your knees —all ob ey ed. Trade e ad r e m s i e n fe ed e s m tr y o s n e g l f to o v a d s e , a that th. h I ammo m m t o h m a n e k n f t before u lfor th the success I had, but I am not proud of it, for I had no merit in the matter." With this answer the Reviewer is delighted, and warmly pronounces it to be "very honest and becoming." Its modesty—and even this is equivocal—i s more remarkable than its honesty, for not the whole truth, but only a fragment of it is related, and that portion is adroitly selected which tells most in favour of the E 'mus. From his MAJESTY'S statement it would appear —more espe cially from the significant words, "that which made me feel strong was, that the moment befor e I had resigned myself to death"—it would appear, we say, from these words, that NICHOLAS had himself sup pressed in person the revolt, at the imminent hazard of his life. But this was not the fact. 'We remember reading, some time since, a document drawn up on the i spot by a military officer, who was himself at St. Petersburgh when the insurrection broke out, who witnessed the commencement of the outbreak, and heard from trust-worthy authorities the whole cir cumstances connected with it. His statement ex actly tallies with that of the EMPEROR, so far as relates to the fact of the latter having gone among the insurgent troops and insisted on their returning to their allegiance; but this material point is omitted in the latter'.':. account—aarnely, that he confined himogi to mere remeastrauceo ; and , the instant it was found absolutely necessary to fire on the rebels, and bring up artillery against them, he abandoned the scene of action, and contented himself with issuing orders and receiving intelligence from his officers, at a safe distance from the theatre of the massacre. His allusion, therefore, to his having " resigned himself to death " is a mere gasconade, for he took special care that no random shot or desperate blow of an insurgent sabre should reach his Imperial person. We do not deny that he showed a certain degree of moral courage on the occasion, and by his timely presence among the conspiring regiments, before either party had proceeded to extremities) induced some of them to abandon their purpose i but physical courage was wholly wanting, for when the affair assumed a serious and sanguinary as pect, then, the EMPEROR of All the Russias was nowhere to be found on the scene Of action ! In another of the Impeiial conversations quoted by the Reviewer, we find the following re marks :—" They know me very little (observed Nicholas) who reproach me with ambition. Far from seeking to enlarge our territory, I would wish to contract, as much as possible, round myself the popu lation of the wh o l e o f Russia. Toimprove the con dition of the Russians is a far better thing than to aggrandise myself." Magnanimous sentiments these, but, alas ! how little are they in accordance with the known acts of the Royal speaker ! What but ambition and a thirst for personal aggrandisement, induced NICHOLAS to hurry his armies across the Balkan, and reduce Turkey to the lowest state of prostration — to send PASKEVITCH against the frontier provinces of Persia, and compel the SHAH to surrender a portion of his dominions—to set underhand intrigues actively at work at Herat and Khelat—above all, what but a selfish lust of power still induces the Est- FEROR to dispatch army after army against the Circassians, whose only offence is, that they prefer a life of independence to one of abject submission to a foreign State which has not, even the shadow of a claim on their allegiance ? We mention these things, because it has been the fashion, among travellers of late—Lord LONDONDERRY, by the-bye, is a great offender in this respect—to heap the most fulsome panegyrics upon the Emperor of Russia., and perversely shut their eyes to the fact that he is at heart a confirmed tyrant, who deserves rather the censure than the approbation of freemen Intelligence from Lisbon to the 26th ult. has been received. Affairs seem to be in a very unsettled state, and loud complaints are made on all hands against the CABRAL Ministry. A petition to the QUEa for their removal had been drawn up, and signed by three ex-Ministers, but as her MAJESTY declined to have an interview with Count LAVRADIO, the nobleman appointed to present it, the document was delivered to the KING• Almeida still held out ; indeed no measures had commenced for the reduction of the place, and it is not at all improbable that before that event takes place CABRAL and his colleagues may be dismissed. The Cardinal Patriarch, it is said, protests against all CABRAL'S proceedings, but the QUEEN refuses to listen to his advice, and her obsti nacy is very generally blamed. Madrid papers of the 25th ult. announce that on that day the auction for the tobacco contract took place. The Finance Minister presided at the adjudi cation, when, after a spirited contest, it was awarded to Senor SALAMANCA, at the price of 110,040,000 reals, or about 1,100,4001. On the same day the funeral of ARGUELLES took place, when vast numbers followed his remains to the tomb. The grand levee fixed for that day had been countermanded, and the Bourse still remained closed. The Paris papers bring no additional intelligence respecting the disturbances in Italy, but generally anticipate, though on what grounds they do not state, that the attempts at insurrection will be sup pressed without the aid of foreign Powers. As re gards the affairs of Romagna, we believe there is not the slightest chance for such a result. The discus sions in the Chambers, on Saturday, were generally without interest. In the Committees M. DE ST. PRIEST brought forward his motion on Post-office reform, and moved that the subject be taken into consideration. This was strongly opposed by the Finance Minister, but without effect, and the ques tion was therefore to be referred to the entire Chamber. The motion of M. GrA.RNIER PAGES, relative to the conversion of the Five per Cent. Stock, was to be taken into consideration on the 2d. The Three per Cents. were done on Sunday al 83f. sc. LATER FROM the UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING. The fine packet-ship Virginian, Captain Allen, arrived here this afternoon from New York, whence she sailed on the 11th ultimo—five days after the last arrival. In a commercial point of view the news is encouraging. The price of legitimate stocks was steady, with an up ward tendency, and those of a " fancy" character, as they are styled on the other side, were also in request. Business was brisk, and money was abundant. Not the least encouraging feature of the commercial news is, the utter explosion of the attempt to bolster up the price of cotton beyond its real value. One of the speculators who " burnt his fingers " in the operation, had failed to the extent of 250,000 dollars, others were expected to follow, and the trade—the speculative part of it —was in a state of consternation and confusion. The price of the article itself, irrespective of these disasters, was re ceding at New Orleans, and the same result had taken place at New York. - A new Tariff Bill had been introduced into the House of Representatives, in some degree s i m il ar to t h e one introduced by Mr. Clay, in 1832, equalising much more than does the present tariff, the duties from this coun try. It is doubtful whether it will pass. The hostile position of the Senate and the House of Representatives, would leave any measure of the kind, passed by the one House, to be rejected by the other. Mr. Calhoun, one of the foremost of American poli ticians, had accepted, under Mr. Tyler, the office of Secretary of State, vacant by the death of the former Secretary, who was killed on board the Princeton. This will not make much, if any, difference, in the relative position of the candidates for the Presidency, as it ap pears to be understood that Mr. Van Buren is to be the next democratic candidate. THE AMERICAN MARKETS. The spring trade is capital, and promises to be larger than for the last seven years. The western and southern mer. - chants have brought on plenty of money to pay off old scores. Money is abundant at 4 per cent., but stocks are a little on the . decline, except Pennsylvania, which, for the reasons before stated, keep up. The last sales in the city on Saturday were-Pennsylvania Fives, 70 ; Sixes, 724. We re gret to state that a large cotton house has failed in New York, for nearly 300,000 dolls. ; the principal sufferers are at Georgia and a few New York banks. The staple still de clines, say .4 to 1 cent, since the arrival of the last steamer. The sales are dull and small, buyers holding off as much as they can, until further advices arrive from England. The present crop is esti ma t e d by a bl e men at 1,850,000 b ales. Exported since the Ist of September last, 445,552 bales; same time last year, 1,016,442.

The folloWing telegraphic dispatch was received at Paris on Monday afternoon TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. "MALTA, MARCH 20. " The Indian Mail of the Ist March adds nothing to the events of Gwalior, but the return of the army within the British territory, with the artillery and other contributions obtained from that State, and the formation of the subsidiary contingent to be commanded by British officers. " The news front China, which is dated the 12th of • January, is purely commercial." The French papers of this morning contain no news of any interest. Nothing of any moment doing in the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon, and no changes of any consequence in the prices of the French Funds.—Post. Lord ABERDEEN, last night, in presenting certain papers relative to China, said he was happy to state that the connexion between Great Britain and China was now placed on the most satisfactory footing; and at the same time paid a high compliment to Sir HENRY POTTINGER, for his energy and talents in bringing affairs to such a happy conclusion. The Noble Lord regretted that ill-health compelled him to leave his important situation and return to England. Lord BEAUMONT called the attention of the - House to the unsatisfactory commercial relations between England and the Porte, and painted out the dis advantages under which the English merchant la boured under the late treaty. Russia had gained great advantages by it. Lord ABERDEEN said instructions had been sent from St. Petersburgh to the Russian Consul, to ne gotiate a treaty with the Turkish Government, on the basis of the British treaty. • The Ecclesiastical Courts Bill was read a third time, -when the House adjourned. In the Commons, after the presentation of peti tions, Mr. BARING WALL gave notice that after Easter he would move for the appointment of a -Select Committee relative to the building of the Houses of Parliament. Mr. CoupEx gave notice of a motion for a Select Committee, to inquire into the effect of protective duties on national industry. In answer to a question from Mr. TaELAwxy, .relative to the affairs of Canada, Lord STANLEY said no Administration had, according to the latest accounts, been formed by Sir CHARLES METcaLrE ; and it would be better to defer laying on the table any papers relative to the late transactions, until some definite result was known. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in answer to a question from Mr. DIVETT, said he would bring on the budget on Monday, the 15th inst. Lord JOHN RUSSELL expressed a hope that the Giovernment would, before the recess, announce what Bills they intended to bring in immediately after Eager. In answer to a question from Mr. GISBORNE, Sir ROBERT PEEL said he would bring the Bank Charter under the consideration of the House immediately after the recess ; but he must till then decline enter ing into particulars. Lord ELIOT moved for leave to bring in a Bill for amending the registration of voters for Members of Parliament in Ireland. The Noble Lord, in a long speech, detailed the alterations proposed, which are very numerous and complicated, and of which it would be difficult to give an intelligible outline. One of the clauses of the Bill proposes to render the Irish law conformable to the English and Scotch law, and to require . that there shall , be a clear yearly value over and above all rents and charges. 1c admitted, at the same time, that the propo ze a change would have the effe. - A of diatutacigsaug two. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 2, 1844. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND putiltr Optitton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Paris Siècle in reference to the visit of Prince Albert to his native country says :—" It is generally believed that his Royal Highness will convey to Berlin the apologies of her Britannic Majesty, who will not be able to return, as she had promised, the gracious visit paid her by the King of Prussia. It is an opinion prevailing in certain political drawing-rooms that Prince Albert will negotiate a meeting in England be tween the King of Prussia, the Emperor Nicholas, and the King of the French. It is even said that the Czar will pass through France, and even Paris, on his return to his domi nions. None of these rumours will, perhaps, prove true, but we must notice them, because they circulate with a certain authority " On Saturday, the King of the French, accompanied by Colonel de Chabannes and the Marquis de Strada, left the Tuilleries for Versailles, and on his way remained about an hour at Saint Cloud: After visiting several of the galleries at Versailles he returned at seven o'clock. In the evening, their Majesties received a very large party. The Siecle states that a bill is shortly to be introduced for a railway from Paris to Strasburgh, on terms similar to those proposed for the Bordeaux and the Lyons' lines. The Journal of the Two Sicilies confirms the statement of the insurrection at Cosenza, in Calabria, and states that it was speedily suppressed. The bands of robbers who uttered poli tical cries were dispersed by the gendarmes, and several of them were shot. The eminent academician, Luigi Canonica, has just died at Milan, at the age of 77. He was the architect of the Royal palaces at Milan and Monza, as well as of numerous superb buildings in the northern Italian cities. Monza is situated eight miles west of Milan, and is celebrated for its treasures Of Catholic relics, and was for many centuries the resting place of the iron crown of Lombardy. Charlemagne was crowned there with it in 774; as were the Emperors of Ger many in subsequent ages, and Bonaparte followed this ex ample in 1805. • The Pontifical Academy of Fine Arts of St. Luke's, at Rome, has recently elected the Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy (C. R. Cockerell, Esq.) a "Member of Merit" of their body, in the place of the Cavalier Ferdinando I 3 ousignore, chief architect of the King of Sardinia, lately deceased. The Pontifical Academy associates honorary members ad libitum, but the " Members of Merit" are limited to twenty. The next grand Rhine musical festival is to take place this 'year at Cologne.

At the Liverpool assizes, William Bethell was indicted for uttering a forged bill of exchange for 1711. 75., with intent to defraud William Maddock. In another count the intent was laid to be to defraud Messrs. John and Thomas Johnson. He was found. guilty, and transported for fifteen years. At the same assizes, Ann Rothwell was indicted for the wilful murder of her child Edwin, at. Oldham, on the 29th of December last, by administering to him a quantity of lauda- num. She was acquitted. At the assizes at Norwich, John Knowles, sen., and John Knowles, jun. were indict e d, th e l a tt er f or f e l on i ous l y sett i ng fire to a dwelling -house and some corn-stacks, &c., with in tent to.defraud the Noiwich Union Insurance Company, and the former for procuring .him to commit that felony. They were both found guilty, and transported for fifteen years. Mr. William Read, the owner of the brig Colina, and Cap tain Simpson, the master of that vessel, were brought up be fore the Lord Mayor and Sir John Pirie, Bart., at the Man sion -house, for re-exami na ti on upon a c h arge of having con spired together to sink the said brig for the purpose of defrauding the Alliance Marine Insurance Company, with whom the vessel was insured. They were again remanded on the application of Mr. Clarkson till Saturday next. An application was made at the same court, by a Mr. Wells, for some relaxation in the manner in which Mr. Bar nard Gregory is treated in Newgate, where he is confined under a sentence for libel. The Lord Mayor said the matter should be inquired into. COURT—FASHIONABLE.

FUNERAL OP THE COUNTESS or UXBRIDGE.--The interment of the late much-lamented Countess of 'Uxbridge took place at Lichfield, on Saturday last, in the family vault attached to the cathedral of that ancient city, surrounded by a numerous assemblage of sorrowing friends. The body had been previously removed from his Lordship's town residence, and from the time of its arrival at Lichfiekl, on Friday, to a late hour in the evening, l a y i n sta te, in the room , appropriately arranged for its reception. The coffin was covered with crimson Genoa velvet, r i c hly ornamented, and the more re spectable part of the inhabitants were admitted. The proces sion began to move preci se ly at half-past eleven o'clock. The assemblage of pe rsons w as very great to witness the mournful scene, whose sympathies were strongly excited as the cortege approached the venerable pile. The hearse, drawn by six horses, with velvet coverings and feathers, was followed by five mourning coaches, eac h drawn by four horses, contain ing the Earl of Uxbridge (chief mourner), the Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Paget, Colonel Bagot, Bishop of Oxford, Rev.

The demand for British woollens is stated to be very satis factory. Cotton fabrics, however, are said to be accumulat ing rather rapidly, the exports not having by any means - been received to the amount expected. A Manchester circular re ceived this morning, states that there is a decided change for the worse in the markets there ; both for goods. and yarns, prices were lower. The letters from New York, received this morning, notice the fact.that a cotton speculator there had failed for nearly 300,000 dollars, and many more were ex pected to follow. This must have an injurious influence on the prices of the staple here, but the manufacturer, as well as the consumer will be benefited by the breaking up of one of the most extensive combinations to raise prices that has occurred for some years :—" The re - sults of speculation begin to make their appearance. The crisis has arrived sooner than anticipated. The cause of this sudden collapse is, not that the business was carried to an enormous extent, but in consequence of the feeble basis such operations were founded on. The currency will not admit of . these illegitimate transactions. It is sufficient to conduct safely and profitably the regular movements of trade, and any species of business out of the regular channel, can find no support. This fact is strikingly illustrated in the late cotton excitement. It is estimated that the stock of cotton in this market, in the hands of speculators, reaches full 160,000 bales, which at fifty dollars per bale amounts to 8.000,000 dollars. The supply of this staple has depreciated in value within the past two weeks full 1,000,000 dollars. Of the stock of cotton in this market, abont 100,000 bales are in first hands on Southern account for which drafts have been accepted, and which have been discounted at the banks in Wall-street. The balance, say 60,000 bales, is held by speculators in this market. The drafts drawn by the owners' of the cotton at the south, who ' ship it to this port, are negotiated through the southern banks, whose endorsement they receive. A planter in Georgia, having a crop of 500 bales, ships to a factor here; he immediately makes a draft on the factor at short sight. This draft conies north through the bank located in the vicinity of the planter's residence, and is presented for ac ceptance, rn after which it is discounted by th e southern bank. When it nearly reaches maturity, it is sent on to a bank in this city for collection, and drawn for before due, the bank here taking for security the endorsement of the Southern bank. This regular routine keeps the bank at the South constantly supplied with funds to carry on these operations. The capital necessary for this business is, in fact, all drawn from this city. These move ments are not interrupted until some of the acceptances are protested for non-payment at the counters of our banks. The moment such an event occurs, the holders look to the parties that made the original discount for payment, and the specu lations drop to the ground. A very large failure took place to-day. An extensive operator in cotton could not meet his acceptances, and stopped payment for about 280,000 dollars. This is the first break-down—others must follow in the same course. It is the inevitable result of such inflations as have characterised the movements in cotton for some time past. It is only about three months since the first symptoms of specu lations in cotton were visible. Within that short period, the bubble has reached a head, and exploded. With a crop several thousand bales below that of last year, with a demand for the raw material for actual consumption much larger than has been known for years, with a general revival in all branches of business, and the greatest abundance of money, we see the crisis of cotton speeulations brought about in three short months." In the commercial accounts there are but few items of interest, as respects the demand and supply of British manufactures. From Canada we learn, that the continuation of public works already commenced, and the opening of others in contemplation, were matters which occupied the earnest attention of Sir_ Charles Metcalfe. It was calculated that in this way 3,000,0001. will be expended in the aggregate. A fine field will thus be opened for the employment of emigrants who are about to proceed from the mother country. We are informed that a great and a valuable addition to the population of Canada is expected to be made this year, in the persons of comparatively wealthy agriculturists from Ireland and Scot land, as well as from England. The purchases of the Commissioners this morning amounted to 30,000/. Consols, for which they paid 991. This is now the value for Money as well as for the Account. The amount o f business done in other respects is small. The New Three and-a- Half per Cent's. have been at 1021 4; Exchequer Bills have advanced to 70s. 725. premium ; and the New South Sea Annuities to 97i. The information received from Madrid as to the tobacco contract, and upon such favourable terms to the Treasury, led to many speculations for an advance in the Spanish Funds this morning,- The Three per Cents. have improved from 37* to 38i, and-the Actives from 24 to 26i. A slight improvement has taken place in Dutch and Mexican Bonds. Old Portuguese Five per Cents. have been sold just now at 80. Brazilian have been purchased at 80i ex div. The fluctuations in the market fur Railway Shares have been slight, and not much business up to the present hour reported. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

ANOTIIER ATTACK ON A BRIGHTON POLICE OFFICER.-The magistrates of the Brighton bench were engaged several hours yesterday, in investigating a charge against a man named Eli Markwick, of attacking a police man named Huggett. It appeared in evidence that, about half-past twelve o'clock; on Saturday night, the policetnan found the prisoner making a great disturbance at the door of the Fox public-house, in Southover-street, and endeavoured to get him home quietly. The prisoner went away; but the landlord, knowing that his customer was likely to return, asked the policeman to remain for a short time. The policeman accordingly remained for a few minutes, when the prisoner returned, and the policeman having gone a few steps to meet him, he drew a broom-stick from behind him, and belaboured him over the head and body in a ferocious manner, till the landlord went to his re lease. The prisoner was found shortly afterwards crouched near the spot with the stick under his arm, and was conveyed to the Town• hall. On his way there he expressed a hope that the man would die, and that several of the police ought to be served in the same manner as Solomon. The police- man's hat, which was protected and strengthened by leather, was broken through by the blows, and Mr. C. Burrows, a surgeon, expressed his belief that, but for the hat, the blows would probably have been fatal. He stands remanded for a week. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH OF A THIMBLE-RIGGER. —On Thursday, John Jones, on his return from Nanty g l o , where he had - been selling stockings, fell in with a party of thimble- riggers, near Brynich-bridge, and being induced to try his luck, speedily lost half- a-crown. Not deterred by this, he took out of his pocket two sovereigns and twenty shillings, intending to adventure again, when the man who held the board, and whose name is unknown, struck the money out of his hand, and picking it up, made off with his companions. Jones followed, and at length got his cash re turned ; but the man who had rebbed him soon afterwards fell down and expired in the road. His companions tried.to recover him by giving water, &c., but afterwards left him,- saying that they knew nothing of him. On a post mortem examination, the body presented the appearances usually caused by habits of intemperance, and it is probable that death was occasioned by over-exertion in running. Verdict at the inquest, held by Thomas Batt, Esq., of Brecon, "Died by the visitation of God."—Shrewsbury Chronicle. ETON COLLEGE.—The following rule, relating to the admission of pupils to this ancient seat of learning, is now strictly enforced :—" No boy can be admitted of Eton School if he have attained his 15th year; nor will the pre sent lower master admit a boy in his department if he be not under 13 years of age." TWERTON.—During the last two or three years workmen have been eng ed in sinking a sh a ft, i n se arch of coal, on the estate of C. Wilkins, Esq., of Twerton, and last week the proprietor was rewarded for his enterprise by cutting into a vein of coal, said to be of good quality. The circum stance was hailed with joy by the villagers, and a merry peal of bells from the parish church announced the important dis covery. The fact is also regarded with great interest in Bath, as, from the close contiguity of the newly-discovered mine, coals will, of course be rendered to the public at a cheaper rate than heretofore.—Somerset County Gazette. Mr. Joseph- Skinner, a respectable man, about 65 years of age, died a few days ago on the passage from Greenock to t his port, while opposite the Isle of Man. His' death was caused by the bursting of a blood-vessel, the result of extreme sea sickness.—Liverpool Chronicle. During the last few months, there have been many more than the usual number of deaths of persons who had arrived at a very old age recorded in the newspapers. Among others, Mrs. 'Wilson, a native of Ireland, died here a few days ago, at the great age of 105 years. The fact of her having attained this period is certified by several benevolent gentle men who have long taken an interest in her welfare. She was married, at the age of 19, to Mr. Wilson, who was then grdener to an Irish Bishop, named Harvey.—Greenock Advertiser. Winn WircncitArr.—A few weeks ago, the cot tage of a labourer in the village of Martin, near Great Bedwin, Wilts, was robbed of 65., and strange to say, the-robber was discovered by means of a " cunning man," who was to deprive• the thief of both his eyes and one of his hands. •The ordeal was to bring the suspected parties before a looking-gla's's, Ind the real culprit, alarmed at the process, contested the rob= bay, and restored the money....Bh ra .Tburna t. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. • (THIS DAY.) John Brown, a powerful young man, who described himself as a gentleman's ser van t ou t o f place,-but Who, is. well, known. to the police of the di s t r i c t as t h e associate of notorious' thieves, was placed at the bar on the following charge : James Edward Turner, a young man of respectable appear ance, who had received a tremendous blow over the left eye, and whose face was otherwise frightfully contused, stat e d , that he resided at No. 17, Henrietta-street, Cavendish square, and was a clerk in a mercantile house. Between two and three o'clock this morning, as he was passing along Oxford-street on his way home, having been out to an even ing party, he was induced to enter the Spread Eagle public. house, at the corner of Woodst oc k- s t ree t, B on d- street, and call for some refreshment. There were several disorderly persons, and amongst them was the prisoner, standing at the bar, and they having passed some very blackguard remarks relative to witness, he was hastily leaving the house, when some person knocked his .hat over his eyes, He was then violently assaulted by two or three of thew). He defended himself as well as he could, but one of the party, whom, he had a strong conviction was the prisoner, seized him behind by the cravat he wore and nearly strangled him, and then struck him in the face. Witness got out of the house at last, but the prisoner, after following him about 200 yards; rushed upon him and struck him the very severe blow on the eye he had the mark of. A policeman coming up at the in stant, the prisoner was given into custody. Witness after wards discovered that he had been robbed of his silk cravat, and about 16s. iu silver which he had received at the bar in change for a sovereign. His diamond breast pin had also been stolen, and his upper coat was torn to pieces. The prisoner said he was taking the complainant's part, and denied striking him. Mr. MALTBY seemed to be of opinion that the prisoner could not be connected with the robbery, but fined him 40s. for the assault, or 14 days' imprisonment. The prisoner has been three times previously fined at this Court fur similar assaults. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) A young lad named Cleave was charged with breaking a pane of glass in the Holborn Union Workhouse. Benjamin Barlow, the porter, deposed that he admitted the prisoner into the workhouse on the previous night, on his application as a destitute person. He told the prisoner that he was required by the Act of Parliament, in return for his bed and breakfast to work four hours, to which he made no other reply than that he must leave the workhouse early. This morning he refused to do the work assigned him, de clining his breakfast which was offered him at the same time. He was told he must work, and half a pound of coir was, presented to him,- but instead of doing so he broke a pane of _ _ _ Mr. 'COMB E (to the boy)—Why don't you do the four hours' work ? The prisoner replied that he had obtained work froth a tradesman at Bs. a week, and that he did not like to stop. Mr. COMBE told him the Act of Parliament required the performance of the task. If he would go back to the work house he should have his breakfast and then let him pick the yarn. The boy promised compliance and the worthy magistrate discharged him. A woman named Connor, one of the worst specimens of her sex, was charged with robbing a gentleman of 15s. She robbed the gentleman in Gray's Inn-lane on the previous night, and he gave her into custody. At the station-house the policeman saw her attempting to swallow something, and seized her by the throat; she struggled violently; two other officers seized her, and a fourth introducing a key be tween her teeth opened her mouth, and took out three half crowns, which she had attempted to swallow.—The prosecu tor declined to come forward, and she was discharged. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Three able-bodied men were charged with stealing a quartern loaf; from the shop of a baker, at Walworth. The prisoners walked into the shop, and one of them took a quartern loaf, and, breaking it, divided it between his two - companions, and they commenced eating it as they went along, but being followed, were given into custody. The baker stated that, of late, he had been robbed of a great quantity of bread, under similar circumstances, and had, therefore, determined on giving the prisoners into custody. The prisoners, when questioned, said that they had come up from the country in quest of work, but not succeeding, they were driven to the utmost distress, and that hunger, and that alone, prompted them to take the bread. Mr. TRAILL committed th e p r i soners f or fourteen days. UNGRATEFUL ROBBERY.— William Rose was charged with stealing a quantity of lead, the property of Mr. Buckridge, a builder in Lambeth. It appeared that the complainant, who is brother-in-law to the prisoner, has been confined from illness for some days. On the preceding night the prisoner was seen coming out- of his premises with a quantity of lead, an d . b e i ng stopped and. taken to the complainant's house, it was then ascertained that the prisoner had procured a skeleton key, with which he. entered the premises, and had taken the lead without the knowledge of the owner. The prisoner was remanded, the MAGISTRATE remarking Ind it was such a case as should be sent for trial. • LLOYD'S SHIPPING.--(THIS DAY.)

STEAM PRIGATES.—When we observe the unceas ing activity which is displayed by the French Government in the construction of a steam navy, the armament ef',our steam frigates becomes a subject of the deepest interest. At present, the batteries of our steam frigates do not appear to be at all proportionate to their size and cost. For instance, the Terrible, which is hulloing at Deptford, will measure about 1,800 tons; her length will be 226 feet; and she will cost, first and last, the expense of her engines included, about 90,000/. ; nor does it seem that she could well be constructed for less money. She will be a splendid ship, her engines will be of 800-horse power, and yet she will only carry six guns. We have rated the total expense of building and fitting her out at 90,000/., because her engines are contracted for at a cost of 40,2001. ; and her other expenses, from the style of her construction, which is first-rate, cannot 1)e estimated at less than 50,0001. The reason of her armament being so dispro portionate to her size and cost is obvious. The weight of her engines is 500 tons, and she is to carry 800 tons of coals; and thus about 540 tons only will be left for guns, stores, ammuni tion, water, &c. The remedy for this evil is nut easily to be discovered. When steam frigates are employed as single ships, or in distant voyages, the case appears to be remedi less. But when steam frigates are designed to be component parts of a Mediterranean or Channel fleet, it should seem that they ought to be of a different construction, and to have greater capacities for sailing, so as to be able to accompany the squadron without using their engines ; and whilst their steam-engines should be of equal power, they should carry only 200 tons of coals, and 30 or 36 guns of very heavy ca libre. In the event of a great naval engagement their steam would thus be just as serviceable as if they had 800 tons of coals on board, for few naval engagements last more than one or tw6 days; and they would, thus armed, be very for midable ships in general action, where the great object is to cripple each of the enemy's ships in the shortest possible time. If coal-reservoirs be deemed advisable, a few of our 42-gun frigates might be used for this purpose, and carry each of them 500 tons of coals, and accompany the fleet. The sub ject is well worthy of the serious consideration of the Board of Admiralty. At present our largest steam frigates do not carry a larger armament than that which the razeed Dteda-, ins is designed to carry, viz., two very heavy pivot 42- pounders, and 14 heavy guns, probably 68-pounders of 65 cwt.—Naval and Military Gazette. THE LATE EARL OF L oxsnaLE.--The funeral pro cesssion of the late Earl of Lonsdale arrived at Lancaster at an early hour on Thursday morning. It left Lancaster in the course of the day, and arrived at the Royal Oak, Bur ton, where it remained the night. Early on Friday morn ing the procession left Burton, on its way to Lowther Castle, and passed through Kendal about, eight o'clock. The re mains of his Lordship were consigned to their last resting place in the family mausoleum in the church of Lowther yesterday. On his death-bed his Lordship stated to those about him, that he Wished his funeral to be conducted pri vatelr. ROYAL ACADEMY BALL.—Her Majesty havi ng been graciously pl ease d to notify her command that the annual fancy dress b a ll f or t h e b enefit of the mm Royal Academy Of Music shall take place, under her especial patronage, on Friday, the 31st of May, at the Hanover-square Rooms, as usual: it is to be hoped that the arrangements for the season will not clash with such a national object, and that no rival benefits will be announced, the day for the ball being fixed thus early to prevent any disagreeable competition. WILLS AND ADMINISTRATIONS , - Foving wills and taking out letters of administration, there is a shameful practice and a great hardship. If a deceased person leaves personalty in two, three, or no matter how - many dioceses, probate of will or letters of a dministtittion must betaken out in each diocese, whereas it ought tO s be in one Only, and which ought to be whereVer most convenient to the executors or administrators.
