The Earl of RADNOR presented a petition from the county of Somerset, praying for the removal of all du ties on the necessaries of life, and a revision of the whole system of taxation. A few remarks, which the Noble Earl made on presenting the petition, led to a little discussion, in which Lord I'oRTMAN said he was an amphibious animal, and had taken part neither with the League nor the Anti-League. ne was, however, op- posed to a total repeal of the corn-laws, but did not ap prove of the sliding scale, and tru , ted that the contend ing parties would be disposed to meet upon his view of the question. After a few remarks from the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Duke of RicE:IoND denounced the proceedings of the League in strong terms. Some other Lords spoke on the subject, but as there was no motion before the House, the discussion led to no result. On the motion of Lord BROUGMAM, the Privy Counci, Appellate Jurisdiction Bill was referred to a Select Committee. A brief conversation ensued, relative to the new Houses of Parliament, from which it appeared that it would not be possible to fit up the houses with perma nent fittirgs by next session. In answer to a question from Lord LILFORD, relative to the Rev. Mr. .M.Litsx, The Bishop of PETERBOROUGH (Dr. Davys) said the Church Discipline Act prevented him from punishing any offence committed two years before, or out of the diocese. (What a humane act !) The reverend offender, however, had been prohibited from performing any ser vice in the diocese. The House adjourned at Half-past Seven. In the House of Commons, Mr. O'CONNELL gave no tice that, on an early day after the recess, he should move for leave to bring in aßill to define the law of conspiracy. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD gave notice that, on the second reading of the Commons' Inclosure Bill, he should move that it be read a second time on that day six months. In answer to a question from Mr. Escorr, Mr. Con- DEN said he would bring on his motion relative to the effects of protective duties this day. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the Report on the Three-and• a-Half per Cents. Annui ties Acts was brought up, and the resolutions were agreed to. On the Report of the Committee of Supply being brought up, Capt. BERNAL moved for a copy of any letter or correspondence which had taken place between the Secretary-at-War and the widow of Colonel Few- CETT, relative to the withholding of her pension. After giving a brief history of duelling, and mentioning some great names who had set the example to Colonel Few- CETT, he expressed a hope that the Right Hon. Gentle man would reverse his decision, and not visit the sins of the husband upon his widow. Sir HENRY HARDINGE, in reply, pointed out one or two cases in which pensions bad been refused under similar circumstances. The papers, however, would be produced ; but he could not kohl out any hopes that the pension would be granted, as there were many reasons for not acceding to it, which might not exist in other cases. Other Members fol lowed, and among them Sir CHARLES NAPIER, who made a good and amusing speech on the subject. The only remedy, he said, was to legalise duelling, and pass a law that all duels should be fought across a table ; that one pistol only should be loaded, and that the survivor should be hanged. The resolution was ultimately withdrawn. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EzellEquin, the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduction Bill was ordered to be read a second time this day, an d the House adjourned at Nine o'clock. A desultory conversation took place in the House of Lords, last night, on the subject of au anti-corn-law peti tion from the county of Somerset, in the course of which the Duke of WELLINGTON, anxious—as in the memorable ease of Mr.Husaisson's forced retirement from office—that there ‘‘ should b e no m i sta k e, " took t h e oppor t un ity of repeating his opinions on the subject of the present corn laws. As his language on this occasion was singularly emphatic and explicit, we quote his own words, as we Slid them in our Parliamentary report, for we foresee that they will give rise to much stringent comment at y the next meeting of the League :—All I can say is," observed the Noble and Gallant Duke, " I have not , at 10 changed my opinion on the subject of the petition which has this night been brought under consideration. I voted for the existing corn-law, and I earnestly recom mend your Lordships to leave it as it is. —(Cheers.) That is what I recommend to your Lordships, and to maintain the . system which it is the object of that corn law to carry into execution." Just in the same spirit in which his Grace here expresses himself respecting the bread-tax, he expressed himself in the memorable year 1830 respecting Reform. He entreated their Lordships to allow of no alteration in the constitution of the House of Commons ; the representation was as perfect as it could possibly be ; and therefore lie " earnestly re amended" that it should be left in this state of (rivalled perfection. And what was the con nue ce of his Grace's " earnest" entreaty ? Why this—that not four months afterwards a clamour .-~+'lAf SVP‘n t ~,~~ n' :~~~~! 1C: 1 4C/1 " - - 'arliamentary Reform rose from one end of the .c e.' ,-,., .. ~. :dom , t , o the t other; e a th nd, H notwiths f ta L ndin d g the Duke's s were com -4- a illaktd ,earn e st to consent to the Bill that deprived them for ever of ,their unconstitutional influence over the Commons ! Is it not just possible that his Grace's " earnest " en troatiLl respecting the corn-laws may be attended with THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENI NG, MARCH l2 , 1844. a like result ? and that it may provoke an indignant spirit throughout the country that may sweep the bread tax at once and for ever from the statute-book ? If we may judge from the past, we should infer that nothing was more likely than ,such an occurrence, and greatly should we be delighted to find that the Duke had become, however reluctantly and unconsciously, a second time our sterling benefactor. Of one thing his Grace may rest assured—namely, that it is no longer in his power, nor in that of any Minister of the Crown, to check the progress of the anti-corn-law agitation, no matter how " earnest" may be his convictions on the subject, nor how great his influence over the opinions and votes of their Lordships. The movement must pro ceed—the question must continue daily and weekly to gain an increased impetus, until it is brought to a satisfactory termination. It is not the passions merely of the people that are enlisted in the cause, but their judgment—their cool, deliberate, unprejudiced understanding. When, therefore, the Duke of RICHMOND accuses the League—as he did last night in the House of Lords—of appealing to the inflammable feelings of the multitude, he makes an accusation for which he has not the slightest warrant; for this great national confederacy has no need to resort to any such appeals; its object is rather to calm the passions of those to whom it addresses itself, for it is only during such calm that men's understanding stands a chance of being convinced. But the League, it seems, if we may credit the Noble Duke, not only does its ut most to rouse all the worst and stormiest feelings of the mob ; but, what is infinitely more inexcusable, it " is vulgar to the last degree." It is here the shoe pinches. His Grace of RICHMOND might possibly be induced to overlook its intemperate appeals to the masses ; but he cannot pardon its hopeless, unleavened vulgarity. It does not daintily mince its words, as gentlemen should do ; it does not wrap up the truth in an elegant courtly dis guise ; but speaks what it thinks in the first, plain, straight-forward language that comes uppermost. Moreover, it has no white-waistcoated, kid-gloved Exclusives among its members. It is com posed of men whose bow is far from perfection, and who are by no means diligent in sacrificing to the Graces. For these reasons his Grace, like Thwackum, in Tom Jones, thinks it his duty to " saddle" the League " with a judgment," and to proclaim to their Lordships, in accents of aristocratic disgust and dismay, his painful conviction that "it is vulgar to the last degree." We have often been curious to know what was the extreme point of vulgarity which it was possible for human nature to attain; and now we find, on the high authority of the Duke of RICHMOND, that the " last degree"—the ne plus ultra of the vulgar—consists in being a member of the League, and speaking home truths once a week at Covent-garden. 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 FewcETT 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 and the highest reputation, and had then but recently signalised his intrepidity and his military talent in some brilliant operations on the coast of China ; and that Lieutenant MUNR3 had risen by his own personal merit, from the humbleA ranks of his profession—and, we believe, in his own very distinguished regiment— to the honourable rank which he held in it, at the time of his fatal rencontre with Lieutenant-Colonel FAWCETT. The latter fell by the first—perhaps, by the only— shot which was fired. Great blame (we fear, it is impo,zsiblct 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 on', 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 MuNno. The seconds hail 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. And if we had not this guide, even, we might be disposed to eliminate some passages that would answer such a put pose, from the manly and affecting letter which Lieute nant Mumto, as it will be seen, has addressed to Mr. Tuomas DUNCOMBE, M.P., giving a detailed account of the circumstances oat of which his unhappy difference with the deceased arose. This letter is now very generally in the hands of the public. We do Lieutenant MUNRO no manlier of wrong in declining to deal with it as evidence, for that gentle man will sufficiently understand the legal principli, 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. DUNCOMEE 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 Dimino 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. MUNRO 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 MuNuo could not have passed over, without resort ing, in the usual way, to the opinions and guidance of persona) friends. On this fact (and we might be enti- tied, on Lieutenant Musuo'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 far, explanation) we must contend that the widow of Colonel FAwcErr 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." talßmutanne. they r " d T i h d e l not u r a u r s rl rush out" "in ptllaciiseuonn a Thursdayreasoning,br u- NevNe•erneinugn,retmheitt2in9gthly employed p J loy une ed la b st.' e r u he n n an ex t t m tw uN o ß d o ay in s consulting with officers in the y army Lieutenant oft te long service, of tried experience, o f un d oubted honour, of high and sound character. Their unanimous opinion was, that Lieutenant MUNRo had no a lt ernat i ve 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 soinsufferable as the Lieutenant had received." Even on the ground, Lieut. MUNRO asked Mr. GRANT whether nothing could be done to obviat e 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 lie 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 ol erwhohningnecessity—that Lieu tenant MUNRo 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 is Mrs. FAWCETT 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 it—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 DINGE and Sir R. PEEL which recognised, under the " circumstances reserved" by those authorities, the practice of duelling. Thus,—a great fuss 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. FAWCETT had selected for his second a very 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 " unat tached ;" 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 HowlcK 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 Howlcx we would willingly exert 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 dfference that had a few days 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 FAWCETT'S immovable resentment. It is clear Mr. MUNRO was cruelly insulted. It is clear that Colonel FAWCETT 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 hi; 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 HAR LUNGE were not qualified, from previous personal ad ventures, to sit in judgment on the guilt of duelling in I others. A Bill has been brought into the House of Commons for improving the Church Establishment in Scotland, by di joining and dividing extensive or populous parishes and erecting new parishes suited to the religious wants of the people. Anything like improvement in that excellent Church we hail with unmixed delight. It is the cheapest, and we may add, what is more to its credit, the most useful ecclesiastical institution in any part of the world ; and if its beneficial influence can be increased by any new Legislative act, all good men will rejoice in the result. In many parts of the country there are parishes of such a vast extent that the clergyman can not by the utmost exertion give religious instruction, or perhaps what is of more effect, show a good example, to his parishioners. Some of the Highland parishes extend from forty to sixty miles in length, the population is so thin and scattered that Dissenting clergymen could not find subsistence among them, and the consequence is they are left almost entirely without instruction. and what they get is of the very worst kind. They have no schools that are realty useful ; they have no church within their reach; they flock once or twice a-year, travelling fifteen or twenty miles, to the nearest church, to attend the Sacrament; but in this they per form neither a religious nor a moral duty, for one-half they hear they do not understand, and the other half only excites some wild fanatical ideas, which neither improve their morals nor give tlinri any correct no tions of religion. The Lord Advocate, therefore, de serves more credit for this Bill than for that which he put into the bands of Lord ABERDEEN last year, to ob viate the objections of the Non•lntrusionists ; but has he not begun at the wrong end? He seems to look upon clergymen as the only real instructors, and to have for gotten the most useful class in Scotland— the teachers of the rising generation. A minister, without a school master, is the most useless animal in existence ; yet in the whole of this Bill not the slightest allusion is made to parish schools. Of what use is it to send a minister among a people who are ignorant of the first rudiments of knowledge ? It is only casting seed on waste land which springs up and is choked by rank weeds. If Mr. M.NEILL had consulted any practical man on the subject, the answer would have been— " Begin with the beginning. Send schoolmasters among the people, who would be passing rich with forty pounds a year—lnstil into their minds some knowledge of reading, and writing, and arithmetic, and the history of their country, but on no other condition send a clergy man among them." Each clergyman is to receive 120 L a year, no great sum; but the question is whether it might not be better applied, and whether three school masters would not be a greater blessing than one clergyman. But even admitting the use of the Church Establishment, why not adhere to the old system, which has done so much for Scotland. It is quite an anomaly in that country to have a parish church without a pa rish school, and if the Bill is not materially altered in this respect, it will give no satisfaction either to Church men or laymen. But this measure is only in keeping with the Tory rage of the day. The cry is, not for more knowledge, more sound principles of right and wrong, more sound, religious, and moral doctrines but for more Church, as if a steeple and bells, and a sermon once a week would chace away ignorance, and make the community happy. In our opinion, all these para phernalia have the contrary effect. They are in tended to mislead the people for the interest of the Church, or make them subservient to State purposes. Church extension, by itself, is only a wild delusion or a wicked scheme, for enslaving the working classes. The political and religious principles of the men who shout loudest for' Mother Church " can leave no doubt as to their object. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) HA.YMAREETS.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) i !Eight young men, all in the workhouse garb, were charged before Mr. Traill with destroying their clothes in St. George's workhouse, and also with breaking open the bread-room. The defendants, with 17 others, were admitted into the workhouse as casual paupers on the preceding night. At an early hour in the morning a great noise and disturbance was heard in the ward they occupied, and on the porter going there he found the defendants in a state of nudity, and their garments in tatters scattered all over the place. The defendants, one and all, said they came up to London in quest of employment, but not getting any, they were re duced to destitution, and their clothes being in a dreadful condition fr•m vermin, they tore them up to get others in their stead. Mr. TRAILL pointed out to the defendants the absurdity of thus leaving their homes and roving to a strange place, where there were so many persons already out of work. He then committed the defendants for ten days each, a sentence with whieh they all seemed well pleased. Four men were charged with assaulting the landlady of the Guildford Barge, and also with attacking the police, when they went to the rescue of the female. The landlady, had a severe black eye from a blow by one of the defendants, for refusing to serve: him. When the police were called, the defendants made a determined attack upon them, tore their clothes, and committed other damage. The defendants were fined 3/. each, or in default of payment, committed for a month. COLONIAZ. SUGAR—The market for British Plantation is rather heavy, only about 150 hhds having been sold at barely previous rates. The public sales have consisted chiefly of 7,373 bags Mauritius and 2,752 bags Bengal (chiefly white) ; the whole of the former found buyers, but in most instances at rather lower prices. The greater part of the latter was taken in above the value, the remainder sold rather cheaper. Foßlitc:N.—There is no change to notice in the value of any of these descriptions ; the only business done privately con sists of a cargo of yellow Havannali (say 1,800 boxes of fair quality, considering the late period at which it was shipped), which has been sold afloat at 20s; holders, however, still re main firm, and purchases cannot be made at lbwer prices. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 753 hhds 3 tierces 276 bar rels, and there were taken for home consumption 930 hhds 98 tierces 86 barrels. The stock in the same places is 3,667 hhds 353 tierces 775 barrels.

" Who runs mayrectiL" rosezzavr. Owing to the severity of the weather the Paris mail of Sunday has not reached town. On Friday the King of the French presided at a Cabinet Council, which lasted for an hour. His Majesty afterwards took a ride in his carriage. The appeal of the National to the Cour Royale, against the decision of the Police Correctionnelle, by which the re sponsible editor was condemned to imprisonment, and ordered to pay a fine of 4,000£ and 6,000 f. damages, for a libel upon M. de Lespee, was heard on Friday. The judgment was confirmed. In a will bequeathing property to a large amount, respect ing which a suit is now pending before the Cour Royale, there is the following clause which, it appears, is not disputed : " My express desire being that none of the domestic animals which shall belong to me at my death shall be either sold or abandoned, I apply to the person who shall ha v e c h arge o f them the annual sum of 750£ for each horse, 150 f. for each dog, and 75f. for each cat, so long as th ey shall live." The .Armoricain of Brest, of the 7th states, that a telegra phic dispatch has just been received by the Maritime Prefect, to urge on the preparations for the departure of the Ariane, and to fit her up to receive an Admiral on board; her destina tion is supposed to be to Otaheite. A fire having on Thursday evening broken out in a chim ney o f N o . 16, Rue Poissonniere, M. Victor Lagrange, who was in the house, got on the roof to close the top of the chim ney with wet blankets, and thus stop the current of air. He succeeded perfectly, and the fire died, but as the unfortunate young man was descending his foot slipped, and he fell from the roof on the pavement below, a height of six stories. When taken up immediately after, he was dead. About ten minutes past two, on the morning of the 24th ult., an earthquake was felt at Barcelonetta. The sensation inundated. sburg(Pmi was like that produced by the passing of a heavily-laden waggon quickly over a paved road, and was sufficiently strong to rouse many of the inhabitants from their sleep. _A" Arad lette r dated 27th ult., says : g r . Y —n le morning of the 15th enormous blocks of ice from the Maros came down and accu mulated to a vast length on both sides the bridge. In the afternoon the water got over the embankments in several h fr as om be P en re places, and at the same time entered the town by t wo chan nels. The bells were rung and the drums beat in alarm. By night many of the streets were under water. On the 16th all the shops remained closed. At two in the afternoon of that day the ice below the bridge began to give way, and at five completely broke up acid dispersed. The waters of the Seine continue to subside, and it is ex pected that the river will have reached its ordinary level in four or five days. A considerable quantity of wine in the cellars at Bercv has been destroyed by the inundation, the vaults having in several cases given way and crushed in the LAW AND POLICE. Mr. Reed, of Ipswich, the owner of the Colina brig, which was stated to have been wilfully sunk off the coast of Holland according to an arrangement between him and the captain of that vessel, was bailed by two gentlemen at the Mansion house, in the sum of 5001. each, and his own surety to the amount of 1,0001., to appear for re-examination, when the witnesses shall have arrived. Captain Simpson, who was ap prehended by Daniel Forrester, remains in the Compter. The prosecution is at the instance of the Alliance Marine office, whose solicitors are Messrs. Pearce, Bolgar, Phillips, and Ilinckworth. Henry Smith Evans was brought up at the same office in the custody of Daniel Forrester, charged with having written two letters to Mr. Hutchinson, the Deputy-Chairman of the Stock Exchange, demanding by what authority the com plainant insulted him, and threatening, if satisfaction were not given, to post Mr. Hutchinson as a poltroon and a coward in the Exchange and in the Reform Club. He was required to find bail. _ _ Mrs. Earnshaw and Miss Wells, the lady shoplifters, who were lately charged with having stolen a gold watch, two gold pencil-cases, two finger-rings, and a brooch, and oth er articles, from the shops of various jewellers, were brought up at the Guildhall for further examination. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Humphreys attended on behalf of the prisoners,who con cealed their faces to weep, and seemed more sensible of their position than before. Mrs. Earnshaw, it is understood, had a fortune of 20,000/. when she was married, half of which was settled on herself and issue. They were remanded till the Ist of April. George Lawrence, a young man of respectable appearance, was committed from the same office, for robbing several jewellers' shops of watches. Sir Simon Clarke, Bart., residing at Oakhill, East Barnet, was charged at Marylebone, by Mr. May, Secretary to the National Animals' Friend Society, Exeter Hall and Mark lane, upon two summonses obtained against him, one of which was for cruelly ill-treating and torturing a horse, and the other for assaulting Henry Molder May, an officer belonging to the said Society. The cruelty consisted in driving a horse with a wound under its collar ; and the assault was the consequence of the officer's interference. The charge of assault was not pressed, but Sir Samuel was fined 40s. for the cruelty. COTTIRT- r.A.SHIONABILE. The Duke of Hamilton has quite recovered from the effects of his recent accident. The Marquis and Marchioness of Douglas are prolonging their stay at Holyrood House. The Dowager Lady Holland received a small party, on Sunday evening, in Great Stanhope-street.

The contemplated alliance between Lord Newport, M.P., eldest son of the Earl of Bradford, and the Hon. Miss Selina Forester, sister to the Countess of Chesterfield and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, is expected to be solemnised at the close of the present month or early in April. The wedding trousseau of the noble bride elect will, it is said, be superb. lionscELLAwmous. A meeting of parochial delegates was held on Monday, at the 3larylebone Court-house, for the purpose of taking into consideration the Bill now before Parliament for the Amend ment of the Poor-law Act. A series of resolutions condemn• iug the alleged interference of the proposed Bill with the af fairs o f parishes under local Acts, was passed, and a Com mittee appointed to wait upon Sir J. Graham on the subject. A statement has appeared in some West of England jour nals, that the packets are to be removed from Southampton to Plymouth. The place of rendezvous is named, and even the time of removal is stated to be in July next. There is no ground for such a statement, nor is it probable that any change will take place till the Railway from Exeter to Ply mouth is completed. The mail-box which was missing when the Overland Mail of last month arrived at the General Post-offica has since been received, and its contents delivered. During the last month the number of passengers between France and England, who embarked from and landed at Bou logne, amounted to 2,545. At Calais the number during the same period was 969. Of the 2,545 passing by Boulogne 1,882 crossed to and from Folkestone ; 263 to and from Dover ; and 400 direct to and from London. A in Tory paper asserts that th ere i s no truth i n the report that event of her Majest y ' s purc h as i ng a residence in the Isle of Wight, Government would introduce a Bill to Par liament, to dispose of the Pavilion at Brighton.

Robert Houlihan and Patrick Nunan, for the murder of Mr. Patrick Shine, are under sentence of execution at the county gaol of Limerick, on Friday next. LAW INTELLIGENCE HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenha m , Lord Campbell, and Lord Kenyon. THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT V. TAYLOR, NEELD, AND OTHERS. This case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decision of Lord Cottenham, when Lord Chancellor. The principal question in the case was, whether in the exchange of certain lands between the Duke of Beaufort and Mr. Neeld, a certain wood in Wiltshire, called Durnley Gorse, was in cluded ? The Noble Duke contended that it was not ; that his land-steward, Mr. Wedge, was not authorised by him to part will that portion of his laud, and that, there fore, he was not bound by his acts. On the other hand, it was contended that the acts of Mr. Widge were the acts of the Duke, and that he was bound to abide by them. The Vice-Chancellor of England, when the case came before him, was of opinion that the Duke was not bound by the acts of his land-steward, and ordered accordingly, and from that de cision the parties appealed to Lord Cottenham, then Lord Chancellor, who discharged the orders of the Court below, and from that decision the present appeal was brought.: The Solicitor-General, Mr. Loftus Lowndes, and Mr. Camp bell, were counsel for the appellants, and Mr. Bethell and Air. Parry appeared for Mr. Neeld. The arguments occupied their Lordships the whole of the day. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England did not sit in his Court :0-day, in consequence of Mr. Bethell being engaged in the house Of Lords. SHERIFF'S COURT.-(THIS DAY. (Before Under-Sheriff B(;RCIIELL and a Common Jury.) At the sitting of the Court this morning, the following un defended cases were disposed of. In each case verdicts for the plaintiffs were given :—lludson v. Murray, Shaw v. Wil liams, Spragg v. Atkinson, Taylor v . Burra g e, Y a r ndall v. Lass, Byrne v. Mills, Teddie v. Pratt. SECONDARIES'.--(THIS DAY.) (Before Secondary KENNEDY and a Common Jury.) DANN V. =MAINE. CAUTION TO TRADESMEN. -Mr. Medina, a solicitor, ap peared for the plaintiff, Mr. Thomas for the defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a ladies' shoe maker, residing in Charles-street, Soho, to recover from the defendant, a married woman, the sum of 31. Bs. 6d., for goods sold and delivered. The question was whether Mrs. Tremaine was a married woman or not, at the time the debt was in curred, and even supposing she was a married woman at the time, that under the peculiar circumstances in which the debt was incurred, the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict. Mr. faux, clerk to the parish of All Souls , Marylebone, produced the r eg i ster o f the marriage of the defendant to her husband, in the year 1831. They were married by license, she being a minor at the time. Mr. T. M. Watkins, Mrs. Tremaine's brother, proved several letters written by the defendant's husband, and ac knowledging the debt. Mrs. Tremaine was not living with her husband. He was at present residing, and. has resided for some time past, in New York. lie believed that he did not allow her anything for her maintenance, or for that of her children. Robert 13cli, an accountant, exa mined—He served a copy of the writ on the defendant, at her residence, 6, Randolph street, Camden -town. He gave her the writ, and she said, "I am a married woman now ; I have been married since I had the goods." Mr. Medina addressed the jury for the plaintiff, and con tended that, under the circumstances which had been de tailed in evidence, the plaintiff was entitled to their verdict. The SECONDARY differed from the view taken by the soli citor for the defendant. He admitted the case was one of considerable hardship to tradesmen, but they should ricer- CLERKENWELL-(THIS DAY.) _ A man named Fromey was charged with an assault, of a very violent and unprovoked character, on a poor woman, named Smith. The complainant was standing in Fox-court, Gray's Inn lane, when the prisoner struck her a violent blow on the jaw, from which she still felt great pain. He then at tempted to run away, but was taken into custody by Tate, an officer of the G division. Mr. COMBE fined the prisoner 10s., or ten days' imprison ment. Not having the money, he was locked up. The case had hardly been disposed of when the com plainant again came before the Magistrate, and said that the prisoner's mother had just threatened to " serve her out" in the passage of the Court. She declared she was in fear of her life. This testimony having been confirmed, Waddington, the gaoler, said that mother and son were two of the most disor derly characters in their neighbourhood, and that they had been frequently before the Court for misconduct. Mr. Conn ordered her to find bail, which not being able to procure, she was sent to keep her hopeful son company. MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) Robert Sivers, a lighterman, was charged by Mr. Collins, of 15 Wharf, Paddington, with embezzlement. Mr. Collins stated that he had hired the prisoner on Thurs day last to convey a boat full of ashes to a farmer at West Drayton, and paid him 21., out of which he paid 19s. for ton nage, the balance was to have paid the freight and other charges. The prisoner, however, did not convey the ashes as directed, but left them on the wharf, and went to a public house, where he got drunk, and commenced spending the money. He (the complainant) gave information to the po lice, and went to the Red Lion, accompanied by Callinghan, 134 D, when the prisoner said he would be d—d ere he would go to the station-house, and tried to throw the policeman on the ground, but found that he was overmatched (Callinghan is a powerful Irishman, all bone and sinew) and received a heavy fall. He would not have been so roughly handled, had not a mob of idle fellows and soldiers endeavoured to effect a rescue. While the prisoner was being taken to the station-house, he com menced a savage assault upon Callaghan and another con stable, Bishop, who came up to assist. He was eventually lodged in the station-house. Inspector Black said that there was a warrant out against the prisoner for an assault upon a policeman, in June last, but in consequence of his absence froni town, he could not be taken into custody. Mr. RAIVIANSON said he should decide the present case, and the warrant could stand over. The prisoner was fined 21. 103. for the assault on either constable, or in default of payment to be committed to prison. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.)

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRICAL Form—The annual celebration of the Covent-garden Theatrical Fund Festival took place yesterday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who had kindly condescended to attend and take the chair, was, from an attack of the gout, pre vented from being present, and in consequence his place was supplied by Lord W. Russell; who was supported by General Corfield, Sir J. Flower, Mr. Adolphus, Mr. Terry, Mr. Lewis, and other gentlemen more immediately known as patrons and supporters of the theatre. Nearly 200 gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner provided by Mr. Bacon, the pro prietor of the tavern, to whom it is but justice to say, that, as far as the appliances of " creature comforts" could aid the festivity and good feeling of the evening, nothing was want ing. There was in the galleries the usual show of female beauty to ornament and enliven the occasion. There was little speechifying, but to make amends for the dearth of eloquence there was some first-rate singing. The principal vocal performers were Mrs. Alfred Shaw, the Misses Pyne, Miss Rainforth, Mr. Harrison, and a list of vocalists, includ ing almost all the old and well-known public favourites who are to be met with on this occasion. The amount of the subscriptions was upwards of six hundred pounds, in cluding the annual contribution of her Majesty the Queen, and an anonymous contribution of fifty pounds, for a collection of passages from Shakespeare tending to promote religious feelings and practice. The usual loyal, patriotic, and professional toasts were drunk with the honours and fol lowed by appropriate songs and glees. The toast, "Success to the fund," having been drunk with three times three, Mr. Bartley rose and spoke the speech of the evening, in advocacy of the claims of the fund to public patronage, and in explanation of the manner in which the sums subscribed were expended. His speech was cheered at the conclusion in a manner demonstrative of the good feeling of his auditors. The Chairman left the room at half-past ten o'clock, but the company did not disperse till past eleven. INCENDIARISM ITT LONDON. —An attempt to set fire to the extensive premises of Messrs. Grissell and veto, of the York-road, Lambeth, took place on Friday se'nnight, but fortunately was discovered. Another attempt happened on last Friday night, and near the same spot. The West of England firemen with their engine from the Waterloo-road were soon in attendance, but fortunately the damage only amounted to about 201. The firm have determined in future to have a night fireman, so as, if possible, to protect their property. FIRE AT BARKING..--AR awful fire is now raging at the time of our going to press, at Barking, near Needham market, the flames of which may be distinctly seen from the town.

A fair speculative and trade demand was experienced for cotton at Liverpool yesterday at steady prices. Sales 5,500 bags, of which 2,000 were on speculation. A very large amount of business was done in Railway Stock :—Birming ham, 833 ; Chester and Holyhead, 63; Eastern Counties, 113 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 63 ; Grand Junction, 232 ; Great Western, 113 ; Hull and Selby, 613 ; Birmingham, 242 ; Brighton, 443 ; South Western, 83 ; Midland Counties, 94 ; Paris and Lyons, 21. 14s. ; South Eastern, 353 ; Ditto New, 36. It cannot be ascertained with any accuracy the amount of the dissents that have, as yet, been entered in the books now open at the Bank of England, opposing the plan of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the reduction of the interest upon the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. ; it being etiquette, we think, when en tries have really been made, for the Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank to communicate the fact to the Treasury. Our information of yesterday was strictly correct; as it was no breach of the etiquette referred to to say that no entries had been made. There have been some assents to the plan, as respects the Stock of 1818, and of dissents to the reduction of the interest in the other Securities embraced in the scheme of conversion. Probaby the real amount of dissentients will be communicated to the House of Commons this evening. However, the success of the plan is held to be all but certain among practical capitalists in the City. The subject has already lost much of its interest in the Stock Exchange, and for the reasons which we have just given, viz., the general opinion held that the conversion will be accomplished without any difficulty. There have not been any late arrivals of importance this morning. The Funds have been rather flat to-day. Consols at 983 to 983 for Money, and at 981 for Account. Exchequer Bills have realised 70s. to 725. premium, and India Bonds 88s. to 90s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 1023 to 1023. There is very little doing. The Com missioners have taken Consols at 983. The Foreign Market has been also a little flat, and we quote some of the stocks lower. Spanish Actives are 253 ; the Passives, 63 ; and the Three per Cents., 351 to 353. The proposed capitalisation of the arrears of interest on the Actives into a new Three per Cent. Stock, makes the market no better, as it is not likely Spain can yet pay so much with regularity. Portuguese Converted are 463 to 463 ; Mexiean have been down to 353 to 36 for the Actives, and to 143 to 143 for the Deferred. Colombian Stock has receded to 143 to 143. Peruvian, owing to the accounts from Lima of the disturbed state of the Republic, have dropped to 293 and 29. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are firm, at 57 to 573. There is not quite so much doing in Railway Shares, but they are well supported on the whole. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) 3 per Cent.

REMOVAL OF CoNvlcTs.---Early on Saturday morn ing a large number of convicts, under sentence of transporta tion, were removed from th e Millb an k prison and placed on board the Blundell and the London, recently commissioned as transport ships, and now lying off the Royal Arsenal, at Woolwich. The prisoners were conveyed down the river insteam-boats belonging to the Watermen's Company, un der guard of a detachment of the 58th Regiment, appointed to proceed with them to their, destination. The London (a fine vessel of 700 tons burden) takes out 250 of the lighter class of offenders, and is bound to Hobart Town. The Blun dell carries 210 of the worst class, her destination being the penal settlement of Norfolk Island. Both ships are expected to drop down . the river with the flood-tide this afternoon. It is currently reported that Government have it in contemplation to abolish convict labour in the Royal dock yards, and for the future to employ none but free men in the necessary works. The average weekly cast to the country of a convict employed in the dockyards is nearly double thft. for which free labour might be obtained. It ut not merety • the actual cost of the conv i c t' s f oo d an d c l o thing that has to be taken into consideration. They work in gangs ofl t e i n s t): 4 under an overlook r, receivea high wago , only two their movements. Add to tins, that where course Imesgary to hcep military guard constantly a watch ingare compelled to share the labour, and it will at 9117L st et, men may be required to perform any duty, the ere whol . e c g s al that if the economy of the question be conlq greatly in favour of the employment of fm a ld accrue frofq nothing of the other aclvant4Vs which WOP:ourers, to, say such a result. PETroxvinE PntsoN.— According to a return made to Parliament, the number of prisoners at present in the Pentouville Model Prison is 537. Since it was opened in December, 1842, three prisoners have been removed to Bethlehem Hospital on the ground of insanity, and still con, tinue insane. There are *law no inmates in the prison who are treated as labouring under hallucination, delusion, mad. UM, or a marked tendency to mental disease. o-- , r,kirryorT, trm r,,,r-ir • r.

JAMES'S THEATRE; FRENCH PLAYS. Madame Albert made her first appearance fo r the r 563 ,iiie, last evening, in the character of Marie, in the new s i s s t set La Camargo, ou 1' Opera en 1750. The scene in the fir e viv o is laid in a remote part of the province of Brittaq i l o ss, we find the Baron de Camargo, a poor yet proud n°, lo o. living with his son and daughter, in his ancient t tr i e vr The son would fain engage in commercial pursuits, t . e .i ' laot iot the ruined fortunes of the family, but the father lo d u sug i ; tet one moment tolerate such a degradation.

He offers his.ste".o9s to the Baron de Camargo, to provide for his clang: 10 e danseuse in the Academie Royal de Musique. Th e e , oto s starts at the mention of the word danseuse at firs" of the being assured that the danseuses of the Academie bpd de household of the King, and, consequently, that it t t s be AO' gradation to a lady of noble family to belong to,,etarlio demie, the Baron consents to the plan, and the Pa' ,19 off Marie with him to Paris.
