HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE TIUS DAY. Morning;.. 0 minutes after 10 I Evening .. 45 minutes aver 10. mørtiini ,mt LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1844. The House of Lords did not sit yesterday. Li the Commons, Mr. THORNELY presented peti titions from the carriers of Wolverhampton, Bilston, and other places, against the monopoly of railways. The SPEAKER informed the House that the agents for the petition against the return of Mr. BRUGES for Devizes, did not intend to prosecute it. The second reading of the Arches' Court Bill was postponed for a fortnight. On the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Commons Inclosure Act, Mr. S. CRAWFORD Inoreti that it be read that day six months. The Go •vernment, he said, had no just defence for this at tempt to violate the rights of the future poor of the country, nor fasten upon the country the expenses of this violation. Colonel SIBTHORP seconded the amendment, be cause in the Bill of the Noble Lord he could see no thing but a great wrong to the poor, a vast expense for secretaries, clerks, attorneys, and 140 clauses which it was difficult to understand. He objected also to the powers to be given to the lords of the manor. He was a lord of the manor, but would scorn to accept a bonus upon such terms. The speech of the Gallant Colonel was brief, but it contained much good sense, and expressed just sympathy for the poor, who were entirely at the mercy of the rich. Several Members said they would vote for the se • cond reading, in order that they might know what were the real objects ( f the Bill. Mr. AGLIONBY said there was not a clause in this Bill which did not give more protection to the poor than any Inclosure Bill which had yet passed. So that if every Inclosure Bill had robbed the poor (which is near the truth), the great merit of this Bill is, that it is not quite so bad as its predecessors. Mr. HUME was decidedly opposed to the Bill. It was a Bill to contract the recreations and enjoyments of the poor. Sir ROBERT PEEL concurred in many of the ob servations of Mr. HUME, and thought the House should look with great jealousy on such a project. In fact, no one spoke seriously in favour of the Bill, and on a division it was allowed to be read a second time, rather to see what its nature was than to sanc tion its object. On a division there were for the se cond reading 70, and against it 23. After some other business, of no importance, the House adjourned at Nine o'clock. The few sentences uttered by the Bishop of PETER- Boeotian, on Monday, relative to the control which Bishops have over their clergy, afford a miserable picture of the English Church. The advocates of the Episco pal system contend that a Church without a Bishop is not entitled to the name ; that the Scotch Presbyterians and the Swiss Calvinists, being out of the pale of the apostolical succession, are little better than heathens and infidels ; and that a dignitary with lawn sleeves, and a mitre and a crosier for his crest, is absolutely necessary t o prevent dissensions in the flack, and compel the shepherds to do their duty. Bishops we have always reg ar d e d as the most useless members of the Church visible, and as mere drones in the ecclesiastical community, who live on the pub lic bounty, without rendering any service for their vast incomes, and their still more vast patronage. The present state of the Church, including the commotions caused by the Puseyites, and the gross dereliction of duty by the inferior clergy, which are of such frequent occurrence, and whieh these ecclesiastical superintendents cannot counteract, is the best proof of the fact. Immoralities of the most offen sive description cannot be seen by the Bishop, if they are of two years standing, or if they have been com mitted out of his diocese. And, even if they have been committed within that time, and in that locality, an enormous expense must be incurred, and many years of litigation intervene, before the culprit can be visited with anything like condign punishment. The whole system is a mockery of religion. The priests, who at one time were all powerful, with the concurrence of the lay Lords, equally interested in such abuses, made laws only to screen their own class. They had a fellow feeling for one another, and the curate, and the rector, and the archdeacon, and bishop, laid their heads together, to get the greatest amount of publi c money, and the least amount of public punish •reut -for offences against the laws of GOD and man. Yet this is the Church that claims the privilege of .being the censor and teacher of the people, that would set itself above the State, and be governed only by laws which it impiously says arc of divine authority. Let us look at this wealthy Church in another point rif view. It was formed ostensibly for the pur pose of teaching the people. The Bishops call themselves the successors of the Apostles, who went about teaching and preaching, and work ing, too, for their daily bread. On what point is there the slightest resemblance ? Instead of teaching the people, the Episcopal Bench throw every obstacle in the way of useful instruction ; and the consequence is that our gaols are crowded with the =rot tunat e victims of ignorance, and the calendars of every assize exhibit long lists of men, women, and children, under the benign influences of the "Poor Man's Church," who cannot even read. Many of them have never heard of the most sacred names in the Scriptures, except when pronounced in blasphemous oaths ; they know no distinctions between right and wrong ; they are brought up and die as the beasts that perish ; while the men, that should instruct them in the ways of righteousness, are rioting in wealth, and using that wealth to obstruct the purposes for which they were appointed. " Out of their own mouths they are condemned." The demonstration made on Tuesday at Covent-garden Theatre, is an event of no ordinary occurrence, and cannot fail to be attended by important results. The object of the meeting was ostensibly to do honour to Mr. O'CONNELL, for the great services he has rendered to his country during a long and actibe life, and especially to express public sympathy for his conviction, obtained by means which neither English Judges nor English juries would sanction. These were the principal causes which collected such a vast multitude of persons, both in the middle and the higher ranks of life; but even these would not account for the hearty enthusiasm and the boisterous applause which welcomed the long-tried friend of Ire land. It was the wrongs of an oppressed, a gallant, and a generous nation, that moved the sympathies of English men, and, we rejoice to add, Englishwomen too ; it was the recollection that a country, which has produced some of the greatest men of the age, which has lavishly shed the blood of her people in avenging English wrongs, and maintaining the glory of Britain in every quarter of the globe, was, notwithstanding all her great services in the common cause, still treated as an outcast and an alien, and prohibited by a dominant party from partaking in all the rights and privileges to which they have the same indubitable claims with the rest of their countrymen. This was the mainspring of the vast and glorious move ment which will spread joy throughout Ireland, make a deep impression upon foreign States, and ulti mately lead to measures which neither religious bi gotry nor selfish class legislation can long gainsay. Mr. O'CONNELL justly said he did not accept the high honour conferred on him for the humble services he had performed, he accepted it in behalf of his afflicted coun • trymen, who had long struggled for their liberty, and who were determined, as one man, to obtain it, but with out shedding a drop of human blood; and they will ob tain it, when Englishmen and Scotchmen join them with a resolution like that displayed on Tuesday. Let not Mr. O'CONNELL and his countrymen despair. They have with them all the good and not a few of the great men of this country. They have what is more, a just cause— a sacred cause, and though their freedom by the in scrutable decrees of PROVIDENCE has been long delayed, the dawn of liberty has at last burst forth, and ere. long will reach the meridian day. Let them persevere in the same peaceable course, and before two years elapse the cry of " Justice to Ireland" will be re-echoed throughout every part of her MAJESTY'S dominions, and our beloved SOVEREIGN will obtain the wish dearest to her heart—the reconciliation of her loyal Irish subjects —the cordial and complete union of two countries that can be separated only by the destruction of both. Mr. ConnEN brought forward his motion on Tuesday in the House of Commons for a Select Committee to inquire into the effects of protective duties on imports on the interest of the tenant-farmers and farm labourers. His object, he said, in introducing this motion, was to show that protection, as it is called, instead of being beneficial, was in reality injurious to those who imagined that they were gainers by it, and this he was fully prepared to demonstrate on the evi dence of tenant-farmers themselves. The Member for Stockport is a close and searching reasoner, who wastes no time in superfluous declamation, or in conjuring up phantoms—as Tom Thumb did giants—for the purpose of battling with, and overthrowing, them ; and we know not that he ever exhibited his superior argumentative powers to greater advantage than he did last night. Fact after fact, each more striking—each more pungent than its predecessor— was poured forth with a profusion that seemed inex haustible ; and the inferences deduced from these stub born facts were such as could only have been gainsayed by men whose inveterate prejudices blocked up all the avenues to reason. Every prediction, observed Mr. COBDEN, that was now uttered with regard to corn, had been previously uttered by the Protectionists with re gard to wooL " But what was the result ?" asked the Hon. Member. " Did they lose all their sheep walks ? Had they no more mutton ? Were there no more sheep cots ? So far from this being the case, when wool was at the highest price, the largest quantity had been imported, and when it was at the lowest price, then the smallest quantity had been imported." Mr. GLADSTONE made an attempt to answer Mr. COBDEN'S nervous practical reasonings ; but acute, and skilful debater as he is, the task was too much for him. In some portions of his reply he gave us the idea of a man who was placed in a false position, and was speaking against his own internal convictions ; and this gave a certain vague ness and feebleness to his statements and hypotheses, which are by no means of common occurrence in his Parliamentary speeches. How puerile was his objection to the appointment of a Committee, on the score that it would unsettle the minds of the people, and paralyse those departments of trade and revenue to which its • inquiries had reference ! Precisely the same objection might be urged to the Irish Landlord-and-Tenant Commission, or any other great public inquiry. Nothing can tend more thoroughly to unsettle the minds of both landlords and tenants in Ire land than the investigation now in progress ; but who denies that it is called for—who denies that it is one of paramount necessity ? There never yet was a Committee appointed for a public object that the minds of some classes were not unsettled by it ,• yet Government has never been in the habit of allowing this consideration to stand in their way, when once they have decided on its appointment. Now, however, when it happens to serve their turn, it is brought in without the slightest hesita tion. In the course of the evening, by way of giving relief to the debate, and infusing into it a little sprinkling of Attic salt, Colonel SIBTHORP rose, and with that bril liant wit which is ever at his command, cracked not less than three jokes consecutively, on the subject of Mr. ConnEri and his white wand, as steward of the O'CON NELL dinner. The House laughed, but whether with the Gallant Colonel, or at him, we do not pretend to de termine ; enough to say it laughed, and that the Mem ber for Lincoln triumphantly succeeded in his ambitious efforts to excite the risible faculties of his audience. In the midst of much that captious critics might call irrelevant, one fact of importance was elicited in the course of his speech—and that fact is, that he never reads the Anti- Corn-law League Circular I He scorns even to give house-room to such a revolutionary, atheistical docu ment ! This, we repeat, is a fact of moment ; and if t do not give an awful shock to the patriotic sensibilities of the Member for Stockport, it will at least oc casion him some moments of uneasy meditation. But we are not without a longing hope that the Gallant Colonel—whom, after all, we respect for his frank and manly plain-speaking, however, we may smile at his political heresies—will relax in his present inveteracy of purpose ; read the obnoxious Circular with avidity, and, like another NICOMEDUS, sit reverently at the feet of that instructive GANALtzL, the Anti-Corn-law League. Few of our readers can have forgotten the melancholy circumstances of the duel which took place, in the be ginning of July last, between the late Lieutenant- Colonel FAWCETT and Lieutenant MUNRO of the Blues. It will be recollected that the combatants stood in the relation of brothers-in.law to each other ; that Lieut.- Colonel FAWCETT was an officer of great experience signa and on the i coast his of China n the highest r e p u t a ti on , an d h a d th en b u t recent l y ut li en s brilliantoperations iN eadnthiuintrepidity ha d r andsen his y smilitary o w e r; n s talento anda in so m merit,thateLie l from the humblest ran k s of his profession --and, we believe, in his own very distinguished regiment-- o E l 3 .r . honourable rank which he h e ld i n it, at the by ti oc to o f theh'l•ls. fatal rencontre with Lieutenant -Colonel F The latter fell by the first—perhaps,theAw n shot which was fired. Groat blame (we f ear , i t - -; impossible to deny) attaches to those who had, in the first place, to determine upon the character of the circumstances under which their opinions were solicited, primarily, as advisers, and their attendance on the ground, subsequently, as seconds ; great blame, both in the one capacity and the other. Before the principals went out, these gentlemen appear to have treated the affair without any reference to its own very special cir cumstances—and still less, as attaching its due degree of weight and importance to the near affinity of their prin cipals, who had married sisters. After the principals had met, the wounded and dying man was left, if we re member rightly, unattended to, and unwatched, except by the medical officer who had been brought to the field by Lieutenant Musato. The seconds had precipitately escaped. Here, of course, our retrospect of the facts of the duel must cease ; because nothing further has been elicited in any legal proceedings, through which the public have yet had cognisance of that melan choly transaction. But we have enough before us to judge of the merits of the discussion which took place, last night, in the House of Commons, on the mo tion of Captain BERNAL, " for the production of a copy of any correspondence respecting the refusal of the War office to allow a pension to Mrs. FAWCETT," the widow of the unfortunate officer who perished in the duel. Azi = • Nit( , N k..4 .. q111 440 , OS Dui -a t _ TEE SUN, LONDON, TRURSDAY MORNING, _MARCII: 14, 1844. if we had not this guide, even, we might be disposed to eliminate some passages that would answer such a pur pose, from the manly and affecting letter which Lieute nant MUNRO, as it will be seen, has addressed to Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE, M.P., giving a detailed account of the circumstances out of which his unhappy difference with the deceased arose. This letter is now very generally in the hands of the public. We do Lieutenant Mumto no manner of wrong in declining to deal with it as evidence, for that gentle man will sufficiently understand the legal principle, which precludes a statement that is purely ex parte (although that it is so may be, as in this instance, the unavoidable result of the facts) from being ac cepted for evidence, without further corroborative and legal testimony. But we are at full liberty to own that the letter has excited in us the deepest interest and sym pathy, and that it is well calculated to leave strong moral impressions on the mind of every reader, as to matters upon which it carries with it no legal proof. For ex ample ; taking the document as embodying the personal statement of Lieut. MUNRO, verified by his own signature, and vouched by the speech of Mr. DuNcoatna in Parlia ment, we may venture to assume, as admitted premises between those who may approve, and those who may protest against, the decision of Sir R. PEEL'S Govern ment in refusing to the bereaved widow the usual pension —first, that the quarrel between the deceased and Lieutenant MUNRO arose out of some worthless domestic differences ; and second, that the insult given was not offered by Lieutenant MINRO to Lieutenant-Colonel FAWCETT, but that it was put by the latter upon Lieu tenant MUNRO in the most angry, coarse, and offensive manner it was possible to conceive. A servant was in vited to become a witness of the insufferable affront, by the order of the Colonel "to keep the door open until Mr. MuNno was turned out of the house." Now it is enough for the argument we have to offer, if it be al lowed that this aggravated insult was one which Lieute nant Muriito could not have passed over, without resort ing, in the usual way, to the opinions and guidance of personal friends. On this fact (and we might be enti tled, on Lieutenant MUNRO'S authority, to add, fortified, as it is, by the circumstance of his having even subse quently requested, ,and offered to the Colonel opportu nities for, explanation) we must contend that the widow of Colonel FAWCETT was, from that moment, brought into a position, the issue of which was unavoidable on the part of her deceased husband, so long as he refused explanation or apology to Lieutenant MUNRO, and un controllable by any effort of her own. What are the grounds on which the Government deny her her pension ? None that can be taken to impeach her con duct. How far do they impugn that of the deceased ? Because, said the Right Hon. the Secretary-at• War, " there were no palliating circumstances. in a case where two brothers-in-law rushed out to shoot one another on account of differences which might have been settled easily in another manner." But they " did not rush out" in this unreasoning, bru tal manner. The quarrel took place on a Thursday evening, the 29th of June last. The next two days were unremittingly employed by Lieutenant MUNRO in consulting with officers in the army of long service, of tried experience, of undoubted honour, of high and sound character. Their unanimous opinion was, that Lieutenant MUNRO had no alternative but to call Colonel FAWCETT out. A general officer went further, and said "No officer holding her MAJESTY'S commission could exist un der an unretracted insult so insufferable as the Lieutenant had received." Even on the ground, Lieut. MUNRO asked Mr. GRANT whether nothing could be done to obviate the dreadful catastrophe which he seems to have antici pated ; but that gentleman told him that the Colonel had received him the day before in so violent and obstinate a manner, that all proposals of accommodation were useless. What was the real feeling of the Colonel him self may be inferred from the fact, that he had proposed to Mr. GRANT that the meeting should take place the day after the quarrel; but to this arrangement Mr. GRANT objected. It was, then, under these circum stances—under this overwholmingnecessity—that Lieu tenant Musno went out to fight Lieutenant-Colonel FAWCETT. What were the particulars, we now ask, in which Lieut.-Col. FAWCETT, in going out to meet him, so far transgressed the conventional rules, within which, it seems, officers in her MAJESTY'S service must take es pecial care to be shot, if they would not leave their widows and orphans in the thraldom of poverty, super added to the despair of their bereavement—that the Government deem themselves at liberty to refuse to Mrs. FavercETT the pension of a deceased field-officer? If the principle of the refusal were, that duelling is, in itself, a practice at once unchristian and unlawful, we could understand it. We might admit 4—with all our conviction of the melancholy truth that it is an ultimo ratio, to which, in too many instances of social feuds the re sort is inevitable. We might say, in reference to the immense advantages of putting down so hideous a rule, " waive all exceptions." The legal axiom "de minimis non curat lex," might justify us in overlooking (we do not say it would) the cruelty of individual cases of gross and unmerited outrage being allowed to pass unpunished by the law of honour, because of their not coming within the pale of municipal law. But in the House of Commons, exceptions were stoutly and gravely insisted on by Sir HENRY HAR BINGE and Sir R. PEEL which recognised, under the " circumstances reserved" by those authorities, the practice of duelling. Thus,—a great Aiss was made about some future regulations to be introduced into the Arti cles of War, for its repression among officers ; but the Secretary at War took great care to intimate " that they were not to extend to half-pay officers." A lax sort of morality this, to say the least, of which the elasticity is so great, that it can be made to coop in officers on active service, and let out officers on half pay ! Sir ROBERT PEEL'S objection was eminently characteristic of the man :-." Col. FAwcarr had selected for his second every young man, inferior to him in rank, years, and experience." Alas for the poor Colonel ! Had he cast about, and prevailed on some superannuated Equerry of—" the old days when GEORGE the THIRD was King"— as BYRON has it—could he have assumed one of the most plausible and most mysterious looks of the Premier himself, and gone out, under the auspices of some Nestor " unit*. tacked ;" then, indeed, Sir ROBERT would have reasoned, from the " respectable sanction," in presence of which he met his fate, the propriety of granting his widow the pension. Lord PALMERSTON, as usual with him in all practical questions, took the fair and manly view of the case. "As the Colonel was the challenged, and not the challenger," the pension should have been granted. Lord Howien took the higher and inexpugnable ground of the moral consistency which should have withheld Government from making an in vidious distinction in this case, whilst they countenanced the practice in others. With Lord Howica we would willingly ezert every energy to put down duelling altogether. Our wishes and our fears on this subject we have explained in former ar ticles, and shall not therefore here repeat. Still less are we disposed to enter into conjectural reasonings on what may have been the terrible " suspicions" operating, as hinted by Mr. MUNRO, on Colonel FAWCETT'S mind, on the nature of the domestic difference that had a few day previously arisen between them, but only broke out on the Thursday ; or on the degree of palliation, or even the justification, for aught we know, which might be sug gested for Colonel FsweErr's immovable resentment. It is clear Mr. Monsto was cruelly insulted. It is clear that Colonel FaweErr fell by his hand, in a duel which he had tried to avert. It is clear that the Colonel had rendered most eminent and heroic services to his country in the East. It is to us still in comprehensible why, or with what motive, of an official or public character, the pension is withheld from his widow. This, at least, is certain ; that the Duke of WELLINGTON, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Sir HENRY HA.R. DIRGE were not qualified, from previous personal ad ventures, to sit in judgment on the guilt of duelling in others. The accounts from Madrid are to the 4th inst., but they are as usual destitute of intelligence. Another dispatch had been received from General RONCALT, in which he attributes the small progress made in the siege of Alicant to the boisterous weather. The Three per Cents. were done at 30 3-16 for cash, and 30i at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 22} at 60 days. Long debates took place in the French Chamber of Deputies on two important questions—the rejection of M. CIIARLEB LAFITTE, who had been returned a second time for the town of Louviers, and the fortifications of Paris. A third election, of course, must be made, and from all accounts, the inhabitants will return the same Member by a larger majority. This contest between the Chamber and the electors, which is in many respects similar to the Mums' contest, has caused an excite ment both in the Chamber, and out of doors, difficult to describe. M. C. LAFITTE belongs to the Ministerial party. M. ARAGO began the discussion on the fortifica tions. He called them the palladium of Paris, but was opposed to their being mounted in time of peace. M. PAncHANs and other Ministers addressed the Chamber, when the question of discussing the law passed in 1841 was rejected by a large majority. The subscriptions for a sword to be presented to Admiral DUPETIT 'fuouAßs are still going on, and the slight punishment inflicted on tits 'boys of the Polytechnic School has only incited other boys to imitate the example, and even double the amount of subscription. According to accounts from Brest, uo doubt remains that Admiral DVPSTIT THOt7ARs is to be superseded forthwith.. Adpairal HAMELIN is mentioned as his successor. The Three per Cents. were quoted at TORTONI'S, on Sunday, at 82f. 80c. IMPORTANT NEWS FROM PARIS. The following intelligence was received on Monday by the French Government: — TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. " BAYONNE, MARCH 11. " Alicant and its garrison have risen against the chief, Bonet, who has taken to flight. The town and the fort are in the hands of the Royal troops." Accounts have been received in Paris announcing the death of the Duke of Angouleme. In the Committee on the Secret Service Money Bill, the President of the Council, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of the Interior, were heard ; and their explanations were consider e d sa ti s f ac t ory b y eight of the Commissioners out of nine. M. Guizot announced that Mr. Pritchard, the English Consul at Otaheite, had been recalled. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The total number of deaths during the week ending Saturday, 9th March, was 1,030, showing a decrease, as compared with the previous week, of 25, and being only 23 above the ave rage. There has been an increase in deaths from diseases of the lungs, the number being 375, while, in the week ending March 2, it was 366, average 330. In ' including measles, scarlatina,epidemic a s n m d a I c l p n o t contagious o a u nd s diseaseshopping ping cough, there is a de crease, as compared with the previous week, of 24 measles 32, average 19 ; scarlatina 40, average 25:; hooping-cough 43, average 42 ; small-pox 16, average 21. In nearly all the rest, with the exception of diseases in the lungs, there is a decrease. The following is the analysis of deaths under that head :—Bronchitis 37,- average 19 ; pneumonia 113, average 91 ; consump tion 150, average 146—total 375, average 330. Old age 63, average 88 ; violent deaths 12, average 25. Of the 16 persons who died of small. pox 11 had not been vaccinated. The analysis of deaths by violence is 4, from contusion, burns, and scalds 4, suicide 2, suffocation by meat 1, and 1 from a wound. The thermometer was lowest on the 6th, 24 3 degrees, and highest on the 9th, 38.2 degrees. In the register kept at the Greenwich Observatory, the mean height only of the barometer each day is given, so that we have no means from this table of ascertaining the great and rapid fluctuations which it has undergone during the last week.

SOHTNAIRPTON, MARCH 12, EIGHT P.M.—The Oriental Com. pany'a steam-packet Grcat Liverpool, Captain M'Cloud, arrived this afternoon from Alexandria at the Motherbank, after experiencing the most dreadful weather, such as prevented the possibility of any sailing vessel coming nearer. She left Alexandria on the 24th of February, where she was deiained fourteen hours and a half after the mails were on board, in consequence of the boiler springing a leak and stopping to repair. She has landed her mails, which will be dispatched by this night's mail. She brings home sixty-five passengers, including nineteen ladies, and twenty-eight children and servants, in all ninety-three. Ships lying at Alexandria—Her Majesty's ship Tyne, and several men.of.war belonging to his Highness Mehemet Ali. At Gibral. tar—Her Majesty's steamer Locust, and Company's ship Royal Tar. The Peninsulapacket Montrose, due yesterday, is hourly expected. SOUTHAMPTON, Maacts 12.—The Montrose Peninsular steamer arrived this morning at eight o'clock, bringing eight bags. The Montrose brings • 18 packages of specie and a large quantity of oranges. The Montrose experienced very bad weather, both out and home; this accounts for her arrival after her usual time. She brings no news of importance. JOURNEYMEN TAILORS' BENE VOLENT INSTITUTION. The anniversary dinner of the above most excellent institution took place at the Freemasons' Tavern, on Tuesday. Upwards of 250 supporters of the charity were present. Lord Ashley was to have taken the chair, but owing to pressing business in the House of Commons his Lordship was obliged to send an apolo getic letter. Mr. Walesby, Barrister-at Law, and De puty-Chairman of the Middlesex County Magistrates, presided. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk, the Learned Chairman passed a feeling and most elo quent eulogium on Lord Ashley's character, and re ferred to his Lordships' well-known philanthropic questions in terms which elicited from the crowded assembly the most rapturous applause. The health of the President, Mr. Stultz, who has devoted immense funds (we believe already above 14,000/0 to the benefit of the Institution, was received in the way - whieh it well deserves. " That excellent individual,' observed the Chairman, "had not bequeathed his •means for the sup port of the poor and needy waiting till the portal of the grave had rendered them to himself superfluous, neither had he, having exhausted the resources of luxury, fur nished merely what he was unable to enjoy but in the full vigour of manhood; he had appropriated to those who in this life could give him no recompense, a fortune which his own severe exertions were acquiring, and which he had the option of applying to his own self gratification." A variety of songs and glees were sung in a very spirited and effective manner by Messrs. Young, Machin, and other performers. Mr Toole officiated as toast-master, and discharged the office in a way which contributed much to the merriment of the evening. The company dispersed at about half past eleven o'clock. Upwards of 5201. was subscribed in the room during the evening. CITY OF LONDON SCHOOL. The Corporation having devoted the fine of 4001. paid some years ago by Mr. Thomas Tegg, the eminent book seller and publisher, to be excused from serving the office of Sheriff, towards the establishment of an exhibition to one of the Universities, for the benefit of pupils of the above school, Mr. Tegg has manifested his approval of such an appropria tion by recently snaking the important addition to the fluid of lOW., and in return for so distinguished an act of liberality, the Committee of the School have agreed that the exhibition shall in future be designated " The Tegg Scholarship, or Exhibition." Mr. Tegg has also accompanied his gift with a number of valuable books for the library of the school. The Corporation has lately caused one of the principal win dows in the building to be enriched by the insertion in stained glass of the armorial bearings of the following b ene f ac t ors o f i theth e school,i etlate sr James Saw, Bart., Mr. T egg , an d M r.

In addition to which an elegant statue will shortly be put up, w hi c h i s i n preparation by Mr. S. Nixon, of the original founder of the establishment, John Carpenter, Town Clerk of London in the reign of Henry VI., and one of the executors of the &mous Sir Richa*l Whittington. THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE. . At the meeting of the Corporation of London, for improving the approaches to London -bridge, held on Tuesday, the deputation ap pointed to confer with the Commissioners of Metropolitan Improve. ments on the question of obtaining further space at the east-end of the New Royal Exchange made their report. The deputation consisted of Mr. Ri c h ar d Lambert Jones, the Chairman of the Royal Exchange Committee, Mr. W. Lawrence, and Mr. Richard Taylor, attended by Mr. Tyrrell, the remembran. eer, and Mr. Tite, the architect of the new building It appeared that the deputation had had several interview, with the Commissioner's, and that they submitted their plans:or clues. Lions for those improvements. The first suggestion was to make an opening into Finch.lane, the same in character as that which was made in Fleet.street,called St. Bride's passage, but wider ; the width of the Finch-lane open ingee beingbetw P n m the shop. at sixty feet from h ouse to house, and thirty Net sholos. The second suggestion proposed the acme opening, but included the widening of the main street at the eut-end of- the !Change to sixty feet, instead of forty•sii feet six inches as at present. The third plan proposed the taking down of Finch.lane alto. 'ether, and the construction of a new street, seventy feet wide, at the east end of the 'Change in its place. All the plans contained a uggeation for widening Threadneedle.street. from the-Royal Ex. change up to Merchant Tailors' Hall. The application on the part of the Corporation was supported by a memorial from the merchant., bankers; brokers, and traders of the City. This memorial was signed by all thefirst. names in the City. _ . . In opposition to hirther improvement in this quorter s . Magdalen College appeared by their steward, Mr. Blagrove, and Mr. Sheriff Moon, t heir tenant. _ _ After hearing evidence from all these pirtiei, the Commis sioners, it appeared, determined that a more extended spase at the east end of the new Royal Exchange would greatly conduce to the effect of the building, and the convenience of those who might frequent it ; but that looking to the numerous and important claims upon any funds which might be provided by the Legislature for improvements in the metropolis, they could not feel justified in recommending to her Majesty, or to Parliament, that any ad vance of money from public sources, or from local taxation, should ►e made for this purpose. This determination appears to have produced bat one feeling in the City, which is that of universal regret that_ as opportunity has thus been lost which cannot occur again. - - ROYAL SOCIETY.—The lucrative and honourable appointment of Assistant-Secretary, vacant by the death of the late Mr. Robertson, has been filled up by Mr. Weld, the late Secretary of the Statistical Society. Phis latter situation has been filled by the appointment of Dr. - Richard King, the celebrated Polar traveller. THE ROMANCE or " CHATSWORTH," Edited by the Author of " Tremaine," and "De Vere."—The brilliant portraits which form so remarkable a feature in the new novel of "Chatsworth," will contribute not a little to the success which that work seems destined to attain, and though it is clear that no one of them can be fixed, with any show of fairness, on any of the living celebrities of the day, it is ' equally certain that not one among those sparkling sketches but will be attributed to at least half a dozen of people to each of whom some one feature of it may be supposed to apply. Which among our half-dozen most popular writers will not aspire t o b e t h oug ht the "Admirable Crichton of his day"—Mr. Reginald Beltravers--which of the half score of " Geniuses" in which our literature rejoices, will - not fancy himself (or his friends fancy it for him) typified in that cleverest of oddities, Mr. Tresvllian Thorns? and as for the " Lady Bab Brilli an t s " o f the literary and fashionable world —they so abound (i n every thing but the cleverness) that there will be no end t o th e c l a i m s upon the proprietorship of that portrait. Some of th e ot h ers being rather less acceptable, will probably n o t b e so eager ly ap p ro priated. THE PRO HIBITED C OMEDY .—A great sensation will doubtless b e created b y the article which appears in Colburn's New Monthly Maguzine for the present month, re lative to the prohibition, by the Lord Chamberlain , of the five act comedy entitled Richelieu in Lore; or, The Youth of Charles the First. It is observed, " This is a question which affects the freedom of literature at large—not merely stage literature. It affects the right of all English authors when any author is thus struck down, without trial, without being allowed to defend himself, without being allowed to amend his error, if any h a d been proved against. him , and ab ov e all , without the right of appeal. No man but an English dra matist can be thus t rea t e d i n E ng land. Well may the author of 'Richelieu' demand Is it just or unjust to put any citizen out of the p a l e o f the eonstitution, and into the power of an irresponsible and arbitrary tribunal ? Why should the drama be the only species of literature still marked with the brand of slavery ?' We repeat, this is a question which concerns all men of letters, and we ask them, will they submit to the in- Ilictlou of so *rant an injustice ?" SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Public Optuton. " TV/to runs may read." WOREXCIN.. The Paris mail of ilon7ll7llas been delayed by the boisterous weather in the Channel. Any political intelli gence brought by that of Saturday will be found briefly stated in the proper place. The floods were subsiding in Paris. The accounts from the south of France mention the occurrence of several disas ters throughout the country from the inundations. A student of medicine, aged twenty-one, was convicted on Saturday, and sentenced to death for murdering a lady7s years of age, at her residence, in one of the most populous streets of Paris, in broad daylight. LAW ANis POLICE. At Lambeth-street, George Seyforth, a sailor belonging to the Tory barque, was charged with smuggling 271bs. of tobacco. After hearing the evidence, Mr. Henry said he was bound to inflict a penalty of 100/. upon the prisoner, but he did not think the case was one which called for .so severe a punish ment, and he hoped that, upon a proper representation, the Commissioners of Customs would reduce the penalty to a nominal sum. Samuel Matthews, a well-dressed man, of military appear ance, was brought up at Union-hall for re-examination, charged with committing several robberies in different public-houses about town. Two cases were established against the prisoner, who denied his guilt; and Mr. Traill said that he should commit him for trial on the charges ad vanced against him, but that he would be brought up again on Friday next. At the Greenwich Police-court, a young man named Thomas Evans, a blacksmith, residing at Plumstead, was charged with having committed a capital assault on the per son of Sarah Gloster, a pretty-looking woman, aged 25. The crime, with unusual circumstances of heartlessness, was fully substantiated. Mr. Jeremy committed the prisoner for trial. At Hammersmith, Thomas Clark, a boy 10 years of age, was fined in the mitigated penalty of 501. for assisting . in the removal of a quantity of illicit spirits from a house in Peel street, Kensington Gravel-pits, where the officers of Excise found all the necessary apparatus for conducting an extensive illicit distillery. - At Aylesbury, on Monday, the Rev. William Day, Rector of Hawridge, aged thirty-six, was arraigned on an indictment found at the last assizes, and charging him with having maliciously maimed and wounded four sheep, the property of Joseph Weedon, at Hawridge, on the 19th June last. It appeared that the sheep had trespassed on the premises of the prisoner, who had secured them in his stable or yard, and wounded four of them, by cutting them in the flanks with a knife. Lord Abinger, haying briefly summed up the case to the jury, left it to them to say whether the prisoner was actuated by any malicious motive towards the prosecutor, or whether he had acted, however mistakenly, under an idea that he was in the exercise of a right. The jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. COURT-PASNIONA.I3 The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Royal children and a limited suite, are expected to leave Bucking ham Palace, on Saturday, for Claremont, where they will remain until Tuesday, and then return to town to enable the Queen to hold her second levee on Wednesday. Her Ma jesty received a small circle at dinner on Tuesday evening, to which Viscount Melbourne had the honour of receiving an invitation. The Duke and Duchess of Roxburgh and family are shortly expected at.Thomas's Hotel, from Fleurs Castle, near Kelso, having engaged apartments there for the season. The Duke of Newcastle has returned to Clumber Park, from Portman-square, until after the Easter reeess. The Marquis of Bute has left town for Cardiff Castle, his seat in Wales. _ _ The Earl and Countess of Sefton are expected to leave Croxteth Hall, for Belgrave-square, for the season, early in the ensuing month. The Earl of Zetland has returned to Aske Hall, near Richmond, from town. The Noble Earl and Countess come to Arlington-street for the season immediately after the Easter recess. The Earl of Ripon entertained the several members of the Cabinet at dinner yesterday, at his Lordship's residence in Upper Grosvenor-street. The Earl of Yarborough has left town for Brocklesby Hall, Lincolnshire, where the Noble Earl purposes to remain till the close of the hunting season. Earl Grey completeed his 80th year yesterday. Lord Beauvale is confined by an attack of gout to his man sion in Hyde Park-terrace, which prevented his Lordship from accepting the Royal invitation to dinner on Tuesday evening, at Buckingham Palace. MONE I AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Not the slighted movement occurred in the English Funds this afternoon, and we quote Consols still 981 to 4. The Unfunded Debt and the other investments re mained as in the morning. The arrival of the Paris mail made the Foreign Market rather more active, the chief movement being in Spanish Bonds, which were quoted higher on account of the taking of Alicant. The Five per Cents. brought 254 to 4; and the Three per Cents., 351 to 4. Portuguese Converted Bonds left off at 47. Brazilian were done at 82 to 814; Colombian, at 144 to ; Mexican Deferred, at 144 to 4 ; and Dutch New Five per Cents., at 1014 to . The a dditional transactions in Railway Shares have been these :—Birminsham and Gloucester were 17, and South Eastern 144 discount. Great Western were 36; Ditto Half, 194; cas ter and Carlisle, Quarter, 7 l 4 4: Guildford Junction. 1*; South Western, 404; Manchester and Leeds, 474; Midland ei and Eastern, 124 to 4; Paris and Orleans, 14 to 134; West London Thames Extension, 14 to 1; and York and North Midland, 724 premium. (From The San of Last Night.) There was a slight increase in the demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, and the sales were 5,000 bales, at steady prices. There was not so much doing in Railway Shares. Birmingham and Gloucester were 854 ; Chester and Holyhead, 64; Eastern Counties, 114 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 894.; Grandlunction, 233 ; South Western Eighths, 411; Man chester and Birmingliani, 44$ ; Ditto and, Leeds, 1154 ; Midland Counties, 92 ; North Midland Half, 47 ; Paris and Lyons, 21. 13s. 1 • Ditto and Rouen, 344; South Eastern, 35 ; Croydon, .161. 18s. 4d. ' Not much business has been transacted in the Funds this morning. Nothing has yet been permitted to transpire as to the amount of assents to the Conversion of the Three-and-a- Half per Cents. of 1818 to a 31. ss. Stock, or of dissents as respects the other funds bearing the former rate of interest at present. The opinion now is, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will 'carry out ' his whole scheme. without requiring one million sterling to pay off objectors. The value of the New Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities this morning has been firm at from 1024 to 1021 As to Consols, the rates Inoe finctuated only from 984 to 984 for the Acceunt, as well as foi• immediate transfers. The Com missioners bought this morning Consols at 984. Exchequer bills are 70s. to 71s. premium. The foreign investmens have been dull, Spanish Actives at 25 to 4, and the Three per Cents. at 04 to I.

Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been marked 57 to 571 In the Railway Shares business is much more limited to day, and prices are lower. The account will be settled to morrow, and this influences them. Birmingham, South Western, South Eastern, and Birmingham and gloucester, have been most affected.
