Morniffg 4P LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1844, time, was told by the Board of Guardians, in common with several other paupers, that they had been there long enough, and must therefore go out and work. lie had, upon this intimation—we quote his own words—" said that he was very willing to work for his living, but he thought that an old man like himself had not much chance of obtaining an engagement. He had in former days kept a house in Lambeth, and had paid rent and taxes until mis fortunes had compelled him to give up his establishment When he left the workhouse, he received one shilling to carry him on his way, and, after wandering over a considerable portion of Surrey and Middlesex, in the vain hope of obtaining employment as a house painter —during which journeyings he had frequently gone forty-eight hours without a morsel of bread to eat— he reached the neighbourhood of Hanwell, where some pers6s, taking compassion on his exhausted state, gave him somethiug to drink ; it was not much but took an immediate effect on him, in consequence of long fasting, so that, when he arrived at the prosecutor's house, the cravings of hunger coupled with what he had drunk, drove him to the commission of the theft." Now it will be observed that in both these cases, the prisoners were the victims of misfortunes, to which all classes, the highest as well as the lowest, are liable ; there was no proof that either had ever been guilty of rash ness, negligence, or extravagance; they were simply unfortunate, and being so, n 5 one can deny that they were legitimate subjects for the kindly consideration of the Boards of Guardians of their respective parishes. In fact, the new poor-law—if we are to place any reliance on the philan thropic asseverations of its originators—was ex pressly intended to meet such cases as those which we have just been detailing, and to deal with them in a lenient, charitable, and forbearing spirit. It is a law whose avowed object is to protect and cherish the pauper, made so, not by his own fault, but the iron pressure of circumstances; while it repu diates the claims of the idle, the dissolute, and the extravagant. And how has this object been followed up in the two instances before us ? Has it been carried out in a proper spirit? Far otherwise. It has been wholly lost sight of, and ALFRED MATHEW and JOHN GOODWIN have both been treated as if they were unworthy to receive workhouse pro tection, as if, in fact, they were no better than lazy, incorrigible scamps, whose legitimate destination is the treadmill. Even the years and grey hairs of the latter produce no efftct on the in exorable Board of Guardians ; he is turned out of the work-house with as little ceremony as if he were a dog; and the natural consequence is that, driven to desperation by his circumstances, he, as well as ALFRED MATHEW, have recourse to theft. We do not defend their act; but thil we will say, that they are much more to be pitied than blamed; and that the prime offenders have been the Hackney and Lambeth Union authorities, whose brutal inhumanity drove the prisoners to that state of reckless despera tion which induced the commission of theft. A month's imprisonment with hard labour, or the disci pline of the treadmill for a week or two, would do a prodigious deal:of good to some of these heartless, upstart Boards of Guardians, by quickening their discretion and discrimination, if not their sense of humanity. A case which was brought on Monday, before the Sitting Magistrate for the Clerkenwell district, calls for a few words of animadversion. It related to the misconduct of one of the New Police Force. From whatever cause the fact may arise, it is the fact—that a considerable section of this well-paid constabulary have lately been earning a disgraceful notoriety for all kinds of scandalous misconduct. We have strong misgivings that a yet more numerous body of offenders, of the same cloth—between the timidity of individuals who are afraid to appear as complainants or witnesses against them, and the somewhat over strained leniency of certain magistrates towards those officials when brought before them as culprits—is concealed from public reprobation. In the course of a very few weeks we have had one police-officer de nounced for giving information to, and being bribed by, keepers of houses.of ill fame ; others for indecent and violent behaviour ; not a few for intoxication ; another for a robbery committed on a comrade, by ransacking the pockets of his trowsers while he thought him asleep ; and on Monday a policeman was charged with an outrageous assault on a brother constable, er " officer," as they be-dub one another. It is really high time that the morale of this force should be rigidly inspected and revised. Indeed—regard being had to the extremely liberal scale of their pay, ac commodation, and indulgences—for, of all these, they are the recipients—any offences against decorum or morality, any breaches of the peace or violation of the law, on their part, so far from being screened or lightly visited by the justice, under whose cognizance such instances of misconduct may come, ought to be most uncompromisingly dealt with, and punished accordingly. Any one who remembers the very numerous cases that are, from time to time, occur ing of scandalous behaviour in this "corps," will con cur with us in thinking that there is no class of the metropolitan population which, in reference to its limited numbers, supplies a larger average quota of candidater for offensive notoriety than the metropoli tan police. We have always borne a willing testimony to their general usefulness, and—until AA ithin these two or three years—their general good conduct; but, of late, some individuals among them are constantly exciting public indignation by the excesses proved against them. In the criminal courts they are rebuked by counsel and judges, for over-officious and mischievous meddling between parties—tampering with witnesses —prompting evidence, or unduly obtaining it by im proper promises, &c. On duty, they are justly re proached with the pruriency of their attentions to servant girls and nursery maids, and a consistent ne gligence of the public thoroughfares, and the removing of the bad characters who infest them. We have wit nessed, ourselves, in the newly opened Trafalgar square, the impunity which, for some days, they ex tended to the idle and noisy vagrants, of ages from fifteen to twenty, who climbed over, and ran along, and defaced the parapets of the terrace, and polluted, with all sorts of rubbish and dirt, the water in the basins of the fountains ; at the same time they ex pelled, with boisterous and most unnecessary harsh ness and insolence, a very little group of unoffending children, who were seated about the square. It was only on a personal remonstrance' being addressed to him, that one of the A division desisted from this process of worrying the little girls, and betook him self to abating the nuisance of the ruffianism which was going on at his elbow. In short, we see constant complaints of tt proneness to bullying, or the neglect or the misconception of their duty, on the part of the police, to an ,extent which is becoming thu subject of very general and grave complaint. constabl es The case b roug h t forward on Monday was of this kind. A poli ce . of th e G division (whoe name is suppressed in the report s ) d epose d t h at be tween nine and ten o ' c l oc k on the previous he evening, he had found one Jolt's ANDREWS "creating distur bance" with five or six females at C ow cross that desired ANDREWS to desist, but that the man became only the more violent, struck him on the breast two or three times, and was only secured and taken to the station-house with the aid of another policemen, whose assistance this "letter G" was obliged to invoke. But, " mark how plain a tale" was to " set him down." This we give in the language of the report.:--. The prisoner solemnly denied having struck the officer; . he was talking to some female acquaintances , when the police- The ,House of Commons met at 'the usual hour, and, after a number of petitions had been presented, an Hon. Member moved that the lionie be counted, and, as only thirty-four Members, were : present, the House adjourned. Two cases were heard at . the Middlesex Sessions on Tuesday, which exhibit the justice and humanity of the Guardians of the Hackney and Lambeth Union workhouses in no very enviable light. The first Case was that of ALFRED MATHEW, who pl ea d e d guilty to having stolen two punds weight of pork ; and when called on for his defence, alleged that dis tress had driven him to the commission of the act, that he had not a bed to lie on, and that on applying to his parish of Hackney for relief, he had received a ticket admitting him to the stone-yard to break stones, together with some bread, and had been told that he was never to apply for further re- The prisoner added—and his statement as not disproved—that he had formerly been en gaged in an extensive way of business, and had maintained hii.:wlfe and three Children in comfort and r tu es n p eh t b d i , f l a it i y ien ' em ,, isfortune after misfor tiietizey wif in an a d fit of desperation, created by h'at his chi/dien had been deprived of anything to eat fo e r more than a day and a half, he committed the theft of which he had been ac- i man came up, and pushed him away.

It carries with it its own confirmation, and its own com ment. We will only observe that whereas poor JOHN ANDREWS is discharged, after a night's locking up, and the brutal treatment described, having been him self the victim and not the offender, he gets no redress fGr such an infamous outrage. Letter G, "the name less one," who is the offender and not the victim in the case—who adds to the scandal of his "drunken and . bullying" deportment the mean subterfuge of a false deposition, is told by Mr. LONG that he does not " much believe him," and is recommended for a report upon his conduct to the Commissioners. We suppose it is about an equal chance whether this report be made or not. Now, something must be done in the shape of better discipline, and securities for better behaviour, in this very costly force. A. little of the systematic attention paid to the dressing and getting up of their clothes should be devoted to a rigorous and impartial scrutiny into their deportment, and offences such as we have referred to should be punished, on proof, by instant dismissal, in the first place. At present, in too large a class of cases, they as little resemble keepers of the peace in the discharge of their duties, as they do sol diers in their bearing or movements. They ought to know that carrying a baton and making a diurnal re port to the superintendent or inspector, will no more sufficiently qualify them for their employment, than stand-up collars, and worsted braiding, and glazed hats will give them that "air military" which they all ludicrously affect—in defiance of impracticable legs, unsorted feet, and that grotesque awkwardness which are the characterics of so many among them! A. connected, intelligible, and faithful , statistical memoir of the principal elements,. of, hei material power and political strength s s almost , a debt , of in struction which the LegislatUre of Great. Britain owes: to posterity. Our advance in all the arts of peace and war, prodigious as this has - been, and directly in strumental in establishing us in our present pOsition of paramount influence, authority, and force among all the nations of the world, is but a common-place reputation by the side of that nobler renown which we shall have achieved by the stupendous results of that spirit of discovery which we have fostered and protected in all the branches of moral and physical science, of philosophic investigation, of political go vernment, and civil polity. In reference to each and all of these subjects we shall have left landmarks to guide, and provided havens to shelter, those who shall be our successors in future ages, in following out the same good works. Among the evidences of unwearied industry, and of an enlightened liberality, in ascertaining with scientific accuracy, and illus trating, by all the aids of trigonometric and hydro graphical surveys, the topography of these islands, none will probably be deemed more remarkable or found more useful and important than those surveys which have been conducted, of late years, under the superintendence of one branch of our ordnance service. Of the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain," how ever, admirable as it is in the conception of its plan, the details of its management, and the manner of its execution, the publication of the maps, charts, &c., seems to halt somewhat unaccountably. We are not unaware of a portion of the difficulties which have protracted its progress to completion. The necessity of producing it, after certain portions of it had ap peared, on one common scale, raised formidable diffi culties in dealing with other portions still to be pub lished, or to which subsequent discovery and.expe rience had shown that the adoption of an altered and enlarged scale would have been most advisable. Again, in the outset of this vast undertaking the ex pediency of incorporating into the construction of the maps, the indications, and district, and boundary lines of a geological survey, which might have been conducted contemporaneously with the superficial one, had been overlooked. In a later period of the work this geological survey has been undertaken by order of the Government, and so far as the public have yet had the benefit of the data and information col lected by it, they have reason to be highly gratified with the mass of invaluable facts and phenomena which has been thus accumulated. A further diffi culty, of course, occurs, as to the earlier maps of the Ordnance series for Great Britain, touching the mode of communicating to them the same geological fea tures which, we trust, will 'claim everybody's admira tion in the more recent maps. Then, there are the several claims of the mining counties of the south west and western districts of the island, and of the northern and Scotch counties, to be pourtrayed on a much larger scale than the Government have laid down as that which shall be common to all the other countries. There are, undoubtedly, perplexing pre tensions ; but where they are not conceded they can scarcely be allowed in accounting for the delay which has attended the consummation of this great national work. The votes of Parliament on account of it have been, moreover, continuous and most liberal; so that we may speedily look, we trust, for the final execution of the maps, and some general explanatory Memoir to accompany them. The utility of such a memoir it would be, we suppose, quite a supereroga tory labour to enforce. Without it, the value of their labours, who have had the practical conduct of this , surrey, can never be adequately appreciated. With it, that value will be enhanced a hundred-fold to the present generation and to posterity. Of such a "Memoir" as we suggest, a good ex emplar is supplied in the recently published " Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the facts relating to the Ordnance Memoir of Ireland," including Minutes of Evidence, Appendix, &c. From the " Memorandum" by Sir R. PEEL, prefixed to the report, it appears that the Right Hon. Baronet referred in June, 1843, to these Commissioners, a certain paper or representation which had been delivered to him by a deputation of noblemen, gentlemen, resi dents, and proprietors of estates in Ireland; that a similar representation had been addressed to the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland by the Council of the Royal Irish Academy ; and that the principal points to which the Premier directed the especial attention of the parties to whom he deputed the inquiry (namely, J. YOUNG, Esq., M.P., Captain BOLDER°, M.P., and Lord ADARE), were the twelve enumerated in his memorandum. These points regarded the nature of the general information previously collected respect ing the geology, natural history, and statistics of Ire land ; its collection, arrangement, Collectors ; the money taken for the safe custody of the MS. volumes comprehending such information ; 'present state and future progress of the geological survey commenced in Ireland; the digestion of a memoir for each county of Ireland, connected with its statistics, history, and antiquities, &c. We perceive that the minutes of the evidence taken by the Commissioners arrange them selves under no less than forty-two heads ; of which, the following are the most important;—Agriculture, Antiquities, Botany, Census, Contouring, Drainage, Economic Section, Education, Fossils, Geological Surveys (French and English) of various districts, County Histories and Inquisitions,. Maps, Museums, Railroads, Registration of Births, Deaths, and Mar riages, Statistics, Topography, Triangulation, and Geology. We have been thus particular in our abstract, because such an enumeration powerfully sug gests the extreme variety ,of their topics, their bear ing, and their interest, which a memoir, illustrative of the Ordnance survey of Great Britain, adapted to our moral, physical, and social condition in the present times, could an devoted,could not fail to embrace. Such a work would indispensableto the text-book purposes in n the e e library onono noifc a n any institution d statistical instruction: §uc . fian institution, organised on popular principles, would ultimately produce an incalculable amount of public benefit by the informa tion it would diffuse, by the curiosity it would excite, the intelligence it would awaken, and the accessions to an economic knowledge it would inevitably develope. The accounts from Spain, which are to the 7th inst., hold out little prospect of peace or security for Spain. The new Cabinet leave the public in ignorance as to their plans of government, but these may be guessed from the feelers put forth by their organs. The Heraldo, fur instance, says that the principle of the NARVAEZ Ministry is legality, while the only principle of action is military despotism. After this statement about " legality," it then pro ceeds to state what course the Cabinet probably will pursue, which is simply this—to call the Cortes to gether, to register the unconstitutional acts committed by the BRAVO Ministry, and also to sanction a system of organic laws such as NARVAEZ and his party may consider necessary. If • the Cortes obey these modest commands, they are afterwards to be dispensed with, all their work oflaw making being accomplished. If they refuse, they will be abrogated at once, so that either way their fate is sealed. Of this there can be little or no doubt, judging from articles in the Ministerial papers, both French and Spanish, as well as from the line of policy pursued by the various Cabinets since the downfal of ESPARTERO. In the meantime the Funds continue to fall, there is no money in the treasury► and the country is bankrupt. On the 7th the Three per Cents. had fallen to 281 for cash, 29i at sixty days ; and the Fives at 20 9-16 for cash, and 21} at sixty days. Some of the Paris papers, for want, probably, of domestic subjects of more importance, have latoly been discussing the affairs of their neighbours. The Journal des L)ebals has an article of four columns, on the recal of Lord ELLENBOROUGII, and the appoint ment of his successor, which is not without in terest, as it shows the view taken by foreigners of the management of affairs in the vast British Em pire in the East. The Globe, another Ministerial paper, has an article on the Spanish Ministry, of rather an ominous character. M. GUIZOT, of course knows what is the intended policy of the new Cabinet, and that journal, which is said to be almost exclusively under his influence, intimates, in rather plain language, that there has been such a rapid suc cession of new Cabinets, and affairs have succeeded so ill under a Constitutional Government, that her Allies, including France among the rest, may begin to think that such a system is totally inapplicable in Spain. The history of the seven last Cabinets, which had all been formed within the last year, is curious. "At the moment," says that journal, " when a new Cabinet has assumed the direction of affairs in Spain, it may not be uninteresting to recal to mind the various Cabinets which have succeeded each other, during one year, in that unhappy country. They are seven in number, without including the Provisional Government installed at Barcelona under the Presi dency of General SERRANO. The first was the RODIL Cabinet, which was overturned on the 9th of May, 1843, and replaced by that of M. LOPEZ, which lasted only ten days. Next came the Cabinet of GOMEZ BUENA, which lasted sixty-five days. I his was suc ceeded by the reconstitution of the LOPEZ Cabinet, which lasted four months. The fifth Cabinet was that of M. OLOZAGA, which lasted, like that of RODIL, only ten days, and was replaced by that of GONZALEZ BRAvo, which had fifty-four days' existence. We have now the seventh Cabinet, viz., that of General NARVAEZ. How lung Will this last ? Let us hope that Spain will at length comprehend that, of all countries, she has the greatest neel of stability. Changes of Ministry, when too frequent, usually lead to anarchy in public affairs, but in Spain they present another danger ; they may cause her allies to think that the constitutional principle, so vigorous with them, is totally inapplicable to the Spanish nation." The following is an extract from the article in the other Ministerial journal, on the appointment of Sir HENRY HARDINGE, and the character of his pre- THE StIN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 16, 1844. decessor : " The new Governor-General is held in high considera tion by all parties. He has been well characterised as the most proper man for carrying into execution the plans of others, perfectly comprehending what he undertakes, and under taking nothing but what he comprehends. This choice also indicates the policy which the English Government wishes to be adopted in India. It indicates an attempt at re-action against the system of invasion and aggrandisement by which Lord Ellenborough, like all his predecessors, suf fered himself to be carried away. Sir Henry Hardinge is a perfect contrast to Lord Ellenborough. He is prudent, reserved, and wise, as most men are who have long been engaged in service. His military career was chiefly under the orders of the Duke of Wellington, who has been the least adventurous general of the age. He, therefore, will never commence a war without absolute necessity, nor, consequently, t ngage the Government of India, and with it the mother country, in useless enterprises. It must at the same time be allowed, tint Lord Ellenborough had his good qualities as well as his defects. In England he has been frequently the subject of personal ridicule, but no one could deny his having great capacity. Smiles were often raised against certain peculiarities of his toilet. His head of hair, for example, is quite a Parliamentary notoriety. With all this, however, no one has denied him remarkable intelli gence and great aptitude for business. Once in the East, in a sphere to a certain degree independent, he found his arms at freedom, and gave the rein to those wild imagina tions which he was abliged to curb iii the circumscribed field of the House of Lords. He has shown himself capricious, fantastical, prodigal, but has always been fortunate; and, if he has not oil all occasions had justice on his side, he has met with success, which the English value as highly in the East, and sometimes in the West. His imagination has given him boldness, and his boldness has brought with it promptitude of action, and determined resolution. During his administration, ten pitched battles have been fought, and;- in the two years, the Anglo-Indian empire, already so vast, has been enlarged by the addition of entire provinces. It was evidently this dan gerous political aggrandisement that alarmed the Company; and, in order to keep this within bounds, it has sent to Cal cutta a man of cooler temperament and less vivid imagina tion. But events may disappoint the calculations of men, and Sir H. Hardinge may be compelled to follow the current, as, in spite of themselves, all his predecessors have been." There are fresh rumours in some of these papers of serious disturbances in Calabria, as well as in Si c ily, but from all accounts they are greatly ex aggerated. The French Funds continued firm. On Monday the Three per Cents. closed at 84f. 40c.; the Fives at 122 i. 35c. THE BOURSE—MONDAY, MAY 13. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

Another fight has taken place in the House of Repre sentatives, which is thus described in the New York Sun:— DISGRACEFUL SCENE IN ,THE HOUSE— TARIFF, &c. WASHINGTON, APRIL 23. A most disgraceful scene took place on the floor of the House of Representatives to-day. It grew out of a discus sion on the Tariff Bill, in Committee of the whole, and was the only business done. Mr. Wright of Indiana had the fl xir first this morning, and defended the Bill. Mr. White (Whig), of Kentucky, replied to him, and went on to denounce the charge that Henry Clay had sold him self to J. Q. Adams, &c. After Mr. White had consumed his hour, Mr. Kennedy, of Indiana, remarked that the charges were all true. Mr. White rejoined that he had refuted them as far as his time permitted. Mr. Rath bun (Dem.) of N. Y , said the charges were true, and would be proved. White, being thus contradicted, made a pass at Rathbun, and both clinched. The younger members all rushed to the conflict, and separated the combatants. While this conflict was raging inside the bar, one William S. Moore, a cripple, who has been here for several weeks to obtain a claim from Government, attempted to intrude within the House, was prevented, and discharged a pistol at Mr. M'Causlin, of Ohio, a Member. The ball missed the mark of the would-be assassin, and wounded an officer of the Capitol. Moore was taken into custody. The whole affair was referred to a Committee of five for investigation, with instructions to report a Bill for the punishmeu* of offences committed within the House. At the solicitation of friends, Mrs Rathbun and Mr. White shook hands, amid the ap plause of the House. Thus that affair ended. Moore was retained In custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House. The officer is not mortally wounded. The ball entered the thigh. His name is John L. Whirt. The Senate referred the Annexation Treaty to the Foreign Committee, and then read the Western Harbour Bill twice. A. Bill for the reduction of postage had been read a third time in the Senate, by a large majority, and there was no doubt that it would become law. American stock had been considerably depressed by the proposed annexation of Texas, but at the departure of the mail a favourable turn had taken place. COMMERCIAL NEWS. NEW YORK, Arm, AO.

FOR Titx CONVENTION.—A large number of persons, dele gates from the other States as well as many of our citizens, left the city this morning in the cars fur Baltimore. We strongly recommend to the best attention of our readers a succinct and very able communication, in another part of our columns, exhibiting a con trasted view of the arguments on which the main pr')positions in the Government " Resolutions" rela tive to the bases of a renewed charter to the Bank of England, are grounded, and of the principles upon which the opponents of the Government "scheme," as therein embodied, rest their opposition to the views ainounced by Sir Robert Peel on this question. Our Correspondent clearly shows that the analogy be tween the cases of a Government issuing paper and a Government issuing coin, on which Sir Robert re lied so much, is not simply untenable, but a very absurd fallacy. Ile is not less happy in demon strating that the danger of over-issues attaches ne cessarily to the Bank of England, even under the modified system of management suggested by the Government " Resolutions;" but that, from the ab sence of the causes which involve this necessity, as to the Bank of England, such danger is not to be ap prehended, and in the nature of things could not arise from, the provincial, private, and joint-stock banks.

ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. We have received by the steamer Acadia, which left New York on the Ist, papers of the 30th of April, being thirteen days later than by the last packet. The Tariff Bill and the Annexation of Texas, formed the principal topics of discussion both at Washington and New York. In the Senate, on the 24th, remonstrances against annexing Texas and amending the tariff were presented and referred, with a protest from the Legislature of Rhode Island, against the right of either House of Congress to interfere in the domestic concerns of that State. The subjoined letter, from a correspondent of the• /Veto York Sun, dated Washington, April 28, gives the latest intelligence from Congress:— The House adjourned yesterday without definite action on the Tariff Bill. Mr. Van Buren's letter on annexation has appeared, and has received the approbation of Southern men generally, while Mr. Clay's letter is denounced by Southern Whigs. Mr. Van Buren is in favour of annexing Texas, whenever the Mexican claim is extinguished or relinquished. SO is everybody, and I am utterly astounded at the position assumed by Mr. Clay. The Virginia election returns give the State to the Demo crats by a fair majority. The Whigs have gained five and lost two members of the State Legislative Delegation. The union of the Whigs and their old friends, the Tyler men, ap pears to have given two Whig Congress men—Goggin and Carter—in Tyler districts. Goggin is no doubt returned Gilmer's district and Carter in Wise's. It seems to be settled, says another paper, that there is a majority in the House of Representatives in favour of adjourning on the 27th of May. If nothing is to be done with the tariff, there appears to be little remain ing to be finished. The Post-of f ice Bill, first in im portance,. is to be passed—appropriations for the ex. penses of Government, and several minor points, remain to be adjusted, and we can then see no reason why Cot.

We hear that Baroness Lehzen, ci-decant lady at tendant on her Majesty when Princess Victoria, is residing with her relatives in Germany, and is not expected to return to England, the Queen having, it is said, settled a liberal annuity on the Baroness, who was so many years attached to the household of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent.

DEATH OF SIR JOHN LOWTHER, BART.—The de mise of this highly respected and venerable Baronet, took plate on Monday last, at Swillington Hall, near Leeds, his principal residence. He was the son of the Rev. Sir William Lowther, Bart., Rector of Swillington, and Ann, his wife, a descendant of the ancient family of the Zouches ; was born in April, 1759, and had consequently just completed his 85th year. On the 4th September, 1790, he married Lady Eliza. beth Fane, seco nd daughter of John, the ninth Earl of West moreland,by whom he had three sons and three daughters, but one of the latter died an infant, and another in 1812. Sir John was next brother to the late excellent Earl of Lons dale, whom he strongly resembled, both in features and per sonal disposition. his baronetcy dates from the year 1824. The successor to his title and estates is his eldest son, John Henry (born March 23, 1793 ) , one of the Members for the City of York—now, of course, Sir John Henry Lowther, Bart. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—A shocking accident oc curred at Blenheim Palace on Tuesday. News arrived in the afternoon of the birth of a son by the Marchioness of Bland ford. Some cannon in the park were fired off in honour of the event, when a young man named Henry Summer, who was employed in discharging one of the guns, proceeded to reload the same without unfortunately having cleaned it ; having put in the charge, it ignited from some fire left in the gun, at once exploded, and blew off both his hands. He was as speedily as possible brought to the Radcliffe Infirmary, Ox ford, where . ev,ery , attention is being paid him, but with very slight hopes of his surviving many days. His age is 25, and lie has a wife and two children. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Pubitt Optnton. " Who rune may read." rosizzaw. The King of the French, with the Queen and the rest eof the Royal Family, were expected to remove on Tuesday from the Tuileries to Neuilly for the season. It is stated in. a Rouen paper, that his Majesty was shortly to proceed to the Chateau d'Eu. The works for the camp near Metz have been commenced. During the manoeuvres to be performed by the troops who are to be encamped, the Duke de Nemours will, it is said, re side at the chateau in the environs of Metz. During the last month, the consumption of . meat in Paris was 6,759 oxen, 1,146 cows, 6,344 calves, and 36,498 sheep, being 1,088 oxen, 986 calves, and 2,619 sheep more, and 197 cows less, than in April, 1843. This increase, which is very considerable, must be atti ibuted to the great influx of stran gers into the capital. The Duke de Glucksberg, first secretary to the French Em- . bassy at Madrid, who for some time past has been in Paris on leave of absence, arrived on the Bth at Bourdeaux, ex route for Spain. Count Bresson, it is said, only waits the return of the Duke to Madrid to leave that capital. Captain Mortier, of the 3d regiment of artillery, nephew of Marshal Mortier, who fell a victim to the infernal machine of Fieschi, was killed a short time ago in Africa, by a gunner of his own regiment, named Chautan, who discharged a mus ket at him, when within a very short distance. Chautan has been arrested at the camp of Oled Barock. The last accounts from Rive de Gier are more satisfactory, several pits being again at work. The Constitutionnel states from Madrid that accounts of an unpleasant nature continued to arrive from the Maeztrazgo, in the kingdom of Valencia. The Carlists had already had several conflicts with the troops, in one of which a Colonel Muriel had perished, and several villages were completely at the mercy of the insurgents. Bands of brigands also are said to infest Andalusia and the province of Burgos. According to a letter from Ciudad Rodrigo, dated the 3d, the Count de Bomfim, together with his party, which con sisted of three colonels, six commandants, seventy officers, forty men (the greater part sergeants), and twenty peasants, arrived in that town on the 30th, and were sent off on the following day for Soria, which is to be the depot for the re-. fugees of Almeida. A month's pay of 20,000 reels was given for the travelling expenses. LAW AND POLICE. _ _ _ At the Middlesex Sessions, Joseph Ambery, a boy 10 years of age, was indicted for stealing cigars from a tobacconist's shop in Camden-town. The case having gone to the jury, they called for the cigars, and upon inspecting them, it was found that they were cheroots and not cigars. Mr. Prender gast remarked that he defended a prisoner who was indicted some time since at the Old Bailey for stealing cigars, but was acquitted under a similar informality in the indictment. The Chairman, on these grounds, ordered the jury to acquit the prisoner. At Queen-square, a very smartly-dressed young man, wbe gave his name Charles Francis Kay, was brought before the magistrate, charged with begging. The charge having been proved, Mr. Bond said a person of his dress and appearance could have no possible excuse for begging, although a per son driven by poverty and starvation might ; nor could de fendant plead ignorance of the law, as he had been before committed. He had grossly imposed upon the public, and he should therefore commit him for one month, as 14 days appeared to have no effect upon him. Mr. William Morris, landlord of the Two Spies, King street, St. Giles's, was charged with having permitted drunkenness in his house against the tenor of his license. Mr. Childs, who appeared for the defence, urged on the Ma gistrate the extreme respectability of the house, which had been kept for seven years by his client without the slightest complaint. He should be able to prove that the men were turned out when they became violent, and that every means was used to keep the house respectable. Mr. Jardine agreed that there was no proof under the Act in this case, indeed, it was otherwise, for there was proof that the landlord behaYed most properly in clearing his house. He dismissed the In formation. A precisely similar information was heard against Mr. Cooper, the landloyd of the Three Tuns, Houghton-street, Clare-market, but it being clearly proved that all possible means were used to clear the house, Mr. Jardine also dis missed the information. COU&T ---rastuotrAszaa. Her Majesty and Prince Albert are expected to re turn to Buckingham Palace this day from Claremont. According to, present arrangements the Court will again be at Claremont on Saturday; and remain until Monday, the day at present fixedl fert, - the Royal visit to Norris Castle and Osborne Hoirie, Ile of Wight. Thea,kinnar,ball at Alinack's for the benefit of the Poles, will tiiiiy - eit - 09 on a scale of unusual grandeur. The Lady Patronesses COmmittee met for the first time on Tuesday. There were present . her Ladyship, the Duchess of Leinster, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Marchioness of Sligo, the Countess - of Tankerville, Viscountess Palmerston, Lady Caroline Sanford, Lady Norreys, and the Hon. Mrs. Leicester Stanhope. It was decided that the ball should be a fancy; or full dress ball, thus leaving it optional to those attending it to wear the usual ball attire, or' td indulge their fancy. The ball is to take place at Willis's Rooms on Monday, June 10. Lord and Lady Leigh have left Portman-square for Cam bridge, in consequence of an accident that has happened to their son, who has had a very severe fall from his horse. Lord (lonbrook, Mr- Hope, and the Earl of Tyrconnell have taken marine villas at Cowes, for the forth Coming aquatic season. The Hon. Charles Spencer Cowper entertained Viscount Alelbourne and a select party, at dinner,. at his new man sion, in Upper Brook-street, formerly occupied by the late Duke of Argyll. The Madrigal Society, of which Major-General Lord Sal toun is President, will give their next dinner to- morrow evening. The annual meeting of the Society for promoting the re ligious principles of , the Reformation was held on Tuesday at the Hanover. square Rooms. From the report it appeared that the operations of the Society were much more extensive and successful than at any former period. They had stereo typed the work entitled Fifty Reasons for. becoming a Re formed Catholic;" they had distributed during the year 25,000 tracts, gratis, and sold at their office at reduced prices about 40,000 more. The total amount of receipts was 1,0841., and the total expenditure 1,0761. The Home Missionary Society held its annual meeting at Exeter-hall, Mr. C. Hindley, M.P., in the chair. The report stated that the number of missionaries retained by the society was 70, assistants 74, with about 50,000 hearers. There were 216 Sunday schools, with 2,000 teachers, and 14,500 scholars. The receipts of the past year amounted to 7,3371., the payments to 9,1751., being an excess of 1,838/. above the regular income, but the deficiency has been made up out of a legacy of 3,700/., which had fallen into the Society under the will of the late Mr. Hill. The Court-martial, which had been sitting at Chatham barracks, with the exception of one day, ever since the 6th instant, for the trial of Sergeant-Major Milance, of the 12th Lancers, concluded its labours on Monday. On Satur •day the prisoner began his defence, which he read. Major Gibson, the Judge-Advocate, waived his right to reply, and the inquiry thus terminated. The prisoner produced: testi monials of the highest nature from Colonel Stawell and the officers of the 12th Lancers, in which the prisoner has been twenty-eight years, and eighteen years Sergeant-Major. The finding of the Court will not of course be known until it has been confirmed at head-quarters. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, MAY 13.—The Java papers to the 30th of December last year, have been received. The following are extracts : " BATAVIA, DEC. 22.—0 n the 18th of this month, in the afternoon, a fire broke out in a house at Tyangoer, which re duced 254 houses and warehouses to ashes. We have not heard that any lives were lost. " BATAVIA ' DEC. 29.—We have received further accounts of the Dutch ship the Anna and Eliza, Captain Drent, which, on its voyage from Japan to this port, was obliged to put into Hong-Kong damaged. We hear that the cargo had been landed, and did not appear to have suffered any injury. " BORNEO.—The Friend of China of the 2d of November, announces that the Young, Queen schooner, Captain Hart, and the brig Anne, Capt. Lewis, had sailed on the 28th of October from Hong-Kong, bound to Borneo. The expedition was fitted out at the expense of Mr. Erskine Murray, who has the command, and is on board the Young Queen. The object is to endeavour to open a communication with the chiefs in hopes of obtaining some land to found a colony in one of the most fertile parts of that great, island, which at present is almost unknown to us." KOLHORN, MAY 11.—The workmen employed in the dikes struck for an increase of wages, and though no acts of violence were committed, it was thought advisable to send some troops to be employed in case of need. To-day they returned to their work after the military had been called out, and they were summoned either to return to their work at the wages last agreed upon, or to take their discharge. All have pre ferred returning to work. Three of the ringleaders, however, were arrested and sent under escort to Alkmaar. DUTCH FUNDS.—AIIaTERDAM, MAY 13. &lenes. Rills.

BRIGHTON, MAY 14.—Admiral Duff and Sir E. Deering left Brighton, for Dieppe, on Sunday, by the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Magnet. The same packet returned on Monday evening, from Dieppe, with several persons of distinction on board, among whom were Lady Beauchamp, Colonel Jordan, Captain Smith, &c. The passage from Dieppe was a most delightful one, and occupied little more than six hours. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT PUTNEY-BRIDGE. —Tuesday afternoon Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., coroner, held an inquest at the Swan public-house, Fulham, Middlesex, on the body of Mr. Archer Croft Ryland, aged 20 years, who was drowned in the river Thames on the evening of Wednes day last, the Bth inst., under the following distressing circum stances :—lt appeared that the deceased, who resided in Cleave-lane, Ctunberwell, was the eldest son of Mr. Ryland, the barrister, and held a situation in the Registrar-General's office, Somerset-house. On the evening of Wednesday last he hired a boat for the purpose of having a row up the river. He was alone, and, as he returned through Putney-bridge, he found himself broadside on one of the piers of the bridge before he was aware he was so near. He immediately put out his hand to endeavour to clear the boat from the pier, but his doing so upset the wherry, and he was immediately immersed in the water, and, after holding up his hands for a feW moments for assistance, he sank and never rose again. Several boats were promptly upon the spot, and commenced dragging for the unfortunate young gentleman; but, al though every effort Vas made to find the body that evening and during the next day, it was not discovered until turned up by one of the steamers on Monday last, about 200 yards from the spot where the accident took place, and, being got ashote, was conveyed to the above house. The jury, being satisfied that no one was to blame in the sad affair, returned a verdict of " Accidentally drowned." Tun COLD WATER CURE.—The ordinary punish ment at the Boston House of Correction is a shower bath. The offender is placed in a very narrow box, with a collar round his neck, and three or four barrels of ice-cold water are poured over him in succession; it as said that it cows and subdues the most refractory.

Theintended reduction of the rate of interest .at Pli er allowed by the Savings Banlrs continues to excite ce1 1 ,. / N i e i able discussion, and there are not a few 1113 ° i l l• with anxiety any • measure likely to ,PrO re - le of jurious to the steady' • progress of that pfuwta to economy and industry, which , has hitherto f.exel'eh°7l, 2 ls; powerful an influence on ,the moral habits of fo lf c sr wealthy population.

The hint has 01 %00 thrown out for combining a plan of loan societies 1 ,1 .0 0 s savings banks, and under e ffi cient regulations this sc ti rce feasible measure, as the profit derived. frOm such 3 , S a te of could be made available to the support of the' present ! t ool interest paid to the depositors, besides affording at t is iort oi to honest borrowers, not always in the largest proinrear , those, who obtain pecuniary advances. To a certain n fart ° mere private loan associations, are unable td lend v riuciPl ° , terms, acting as they do npon the less of making the good pay for the bad. Thus s .dis oise° 501. to 1001. is made up by the man of some little 5 71 and of integrity, who does intend to pay. With 0 Ai rs' vigilance private loan associations have frequent 10 50 . 1 0 6 probably the higher ones, combining the life a xe tO with the lending department, are more e%P°s7coir them than the minor and less scrupulous obi cerns. The question then occurs as_ to what ineLu'inlilo, savings banks would have of guarding against !,,ipa losses, and of more correctly ascertaining the characTioll circumstances of their borrowers. We should answer 51;,„00 that the bulk, and if necessary, thewhole of their loau9l",.fot be to depositors, and so far there would be some gua r3e ,,A `' ia the frugality of the parties borrowing and of those he c o' sureties.
