GUIZOT has proposed—and his reforms 1 are not few—has been triumphantly carried through both Chambers. He has defeated every opposition to his policy, he has also carried with him the almost universal voice of his country ; while Sir ROBERT PEEL can carry nothing, can do nothing, and remains like the ass between two loads of hay. A Ministry like this cannot last. The English are an active people. They will go a-head, and cast off allegiance to a Government which seems determined to stand still, and, what is of more importance, has no fixed principles of action. One part of the Cabinet is hostile to the other. STANLEY, and RIPON, and GRAHAM, thwart PEEL in all his move ments ; and the Prime Minister of England, at the present moment, is possibly the roost helpless being in the United Kingdom. The Whigs did something —they introduced and carried many useful mea sures ; they unfortunately forgot the interests of their best supporters ; but, after all, they were an active, stirring race ; they kept the public mind alive to questions of great national importance, and were only deterred by the House of Lords from doing justice to the country. What has Sir ROBERT PEEL, with both Houses at his back, done ? He has reduced the duty on pickles, and corned beef, and live bullocks, and every grievance of which the country complains is yet to be redressed ! In the House of Lords the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill went through Committee, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Thursday. The House adjourned at Nine o'Clock. _ _ _ In the louse of Commons the Earl of MARCH moved the second reading of the Brighton and Chi chester Railway Bill. Colonel WYNDHAM and the Earl of ARUNDEL opposed the motion. A division took place, when the second reading was carried by a majority of 51. The Stratford and Thames Junction Railway Bill, the Cym Celyn and Blaina Iron Company Bill, and the Colchester and Harwich Railway Bill, were read a second time. On the motionthat the London and South-Western Railway Bill be read a second time, Mr. WALLACE objected to several clauses of the Bill, as they en abled the Company to act as wharfingers, custom house-agents, steam-boat proprietors, and in several tither capaoitios inconsistent with their duty nq rnil 'ay proprietors. Mr. LABOUCHERE thought the objection of Mr. 'WALLACE was well founded, but it might be taken into consideration on bringing up the Report. Mr. GLADSTONE concurred with the Hon. Member, and the Bill was read a second time. ment, and, probably, will be resisted for a session or two, but it must be ultimately carried, if the facts stated by certain of the journals be correct. From these it would appear that the Government duty far exceeds the amount received by the proprietors. The National gives the following statement on the subject :—" The tax is levied on the gross receipt, and not on the net revenue of a journal. Thus each subscriber of the Debats pays 364 f. a year, and of all the other papers 33f. a year. So that taking the whole revenue of the Debats to be 1,200,000 f., the State receives 550,000 f., or nearly one-half ; and admitting the whole receipt of the Siecle, a low-priced and widely circulated paper, to be 1,500,000 f., the State receives I,loo,ooo—more than two-thirds. It shows that out of the 80f. yearly subscription, the Debuts has only 43f. to pay for paper, printing, editing, interest of capital, &c., while the Siecle, whose annual subscrip tion amounts to 48f., retains only 15f. 15c. to pay the whole outlay of its administration." This includes the charge made at the post-office, which amounts to about 15f. a year, for each copy. The discussion is looked forward to with much interest, and as the motion will be supported by the public voice, it is probable the Chamber of De puties will turn upon their leaders, and imi tate our JACK CADE system of legislation. In a former Number we stated that a number of soldiers, belonging to the garrison of Paris, had been trans ported to Algiers for certain acts of insubordination. A provincial paper thus describes the treatment to which they were subjected in passing through the country :—" Several parties of soldiers belonging to the garrison of Paris, and who are sent to the dis ciplined battalions of Algeria, for having been im plicated in a pretended military conspiracy, have passed through Chalons in wagons, covered in such a way as to prevent their being seen. They are made to travel by double stages, and to sleep in the prisons, all communication with them being pro hibited." Never was there a more extraordinary :spectacle than the House of Commons presents at this moment as regards the Factory Bill. The Genius of inextri cable confusion pervades it. No Whig knows where to look for a brother Whig—no Tory for a brother Tory. The opponents of Government sit on the Treasury benches—and not a few of their supporters on that bleak, inhospitable side of the House where " loaves and fishes" are phenomena often heard of, but never met with. The effect produced on the spectator by this strange confounding of parties is the most startling and grotesque it is possible to con ceive. He sees a Member rise just behind Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and within a couple of inches of the Premier's coat-skirts, for the express purpose of denouncing the conduct of these two unhappy Baronets ; and 10, before he has time to recover his astonishment at this open act of mutiny, he sees another Member rise from the Opposition side, and de fend the Government with a spirit and earnestness beau tifully inconsistent with his locality! As artists would say, there is no keeping—no harmony in the House on this question of the Factory Bill. The lights and shades are all inextricably commingled. Where you look for one particular effect of colouring, you find another. If a gentleman would wish to get a notion of what " Chaos" must have been before the spirit of proportion moved over the face of the universe, we would advise him by all means to go down to the House of Commons on Friday next, when, thanks to Sir JAMES GRAHAM, he will stand a fair chance of seeing the "rudis indiges taque moles" of OVID very fairly and picturesquely exemplified. As for the theatres, they will of course be all deserted on this great night, for who would pay to see a farce represented at the Haymarket or elsewhere, when he can see gratis a much richer farce enacted on the floor of St. Stephens ? But we have no heart to continue this light vein, for the thoughts of poor Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S dilemma have just flashed across our recollection, and filled our bosom with dismay. The situation of this un lucky Baronet—who seems to be a born-genius for blunder—is indeed most pitiable; and he must have a harder heart than we can boast of, who can con template it without emotion. No position that we know of can be compared to it, except that of " 80-Peep," in the nursery-tale, who, it may be re membered, The Three per Cents. were quoted on Sunday at 83f. 15c. LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND BEER-SELLERS.—Ac cording to a return made to the House of Commons the total number of licensed victuallers in England and Wales is 57,698, in Scotland 15,449, and in Ireland 12,926. Those licensed to sell beer for the whole of England to be drunk on the premises amount to 31,227, while the number licensed to sell beer not to be drunk on the premises is only 4,252. In the United Kingdom, during the year ending October, 1843, the total quantity of malt consumed by brewers was 17,719,938 bushels, by victuallers 7,651,603, and by persons licensed to sell beer 3,158,860. The amount consumed in Scotland was 831,219 bushels, and in Ireland 1,010,054. ARTISTS' GENERAL BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. — The anniversary dinner of this charitable institution is announced to take place at the Freemasons' Tavern, on Saturday next, the 30th inst., and as the objects which this Charity has in view are of the most liberal and praiseworthy character, we feel that we need only allude to the fact, to insure a full attendance of the pa trons of Art at its anniversary dinner. LATER from the UNITED STATES LIVERPOOL, MONDAY Noox. The New York packet-ship, Patrick Henry, Captain Delano, arrived here this day, after an excellent voyage of eighteen-and-a-half days from New York, which port she left on the 6th instant, and brings papers of that date. The wind blowing fresh, she came up without being telegraphed, and we are indebted to Captain Delano for sending our papers ashore immediately. The news by this arrival is not important. Business in New York was dull. The Cotton market had further declined, and the disposition manifested to sell would, it was feared, lead to prices going down still lower. " Lost his sheep, And could'nt tell where to find them." Sir JAMES GRAHAM, too, has "lost his sheep," and, we fear we must add, that he " cannot tell where to find them." In vain he waits to hear their fond and faithful bleat from the benches immediately behind him ; one half of the flock has bolted, and the other half respond by nothing but a low, sulky, " baa," which carries anything but encouragement to the heart of their shepherd. But this is not the Ba ronet's worst grievance. He finds supporters start ing up amor►g the ranks of his enemies—the Whig lion lying down with the Tory lamb ; and these are the only phenomena wanting to complete his stupefaction, and wholly deprive him of that self possession and intelligence with which PROVIDENCE — no doubt for wise purposes—has somewhat sparingly endowed him. Poor Sir JAMES! No wonder his feelings get the better of his judgment, and induce him to couple Whig and Tory opponents together in the same category, and represent them as being neither more nor less than so many " JACK CADES." " JACK CADES !" The term is a strik ing one, and calls forth many pregnant histo rical recollections. JACK—or Mr. CADE, as Sir R. PEEL decorously calls him—was, it may be remem bered, a decided leveller, and among other little pe culiarities, he strenuously advocated the expediency of cutting off the heads of the official authorities. Now had JACK lived in these days, he would have been the first to " turn his back"—like Lord CASTLEREAGH—On his own doctrine, for a three years' experience of a PEEL Administra tion would have gone far to convince him that the process of decapitation would- be a super fluous one, inasmuch as our " official authorities" have no heads to cut off! Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S allusion to " JACK CADE" is, therefore, a most infelicitous one, for it immediately suggests a train of reflection to the reader by no means favourable to the sagacity of the present Government. It is a curious, and most diverting circumstance, connected with last night's debate, that the instant the reference to " JACK CADE" escaped Sir JAMES GRAHAM, it was received with a storm of indignation by all parties. Mr. FERRAND boiled over with passion, like an old maid's tea-kettle; Sir ROBERT INGLIS' honest, ruddy countenance waxed three times more erubescent ; and the Prime Mi nister, seeing no other way left of moderating the hurricane that now blew fiercely from all quarters of the House, cracked just such a set of jokes as their hearers are always expected to laugh at, when Pre miers condescend to crack them. That Sir ROBERT PEEL was eminently successful in his waggery we will not undertak, to say; indeed a conscientious regard for the sacred interests of truth compels us to assert that the reverse was the fact; for among the numerous other bright qualities with which bene ficent Nature has endowed him, certes she has not included those of wit and drollery. Without ex ception—and this is a strong term to use— without exception, we repeat, the Premier is about the dullest and heaviest wag we know of a and the only means we have of arriving at the fact that he has just cracked a joke, is by his own preli minary bursts of cachinnation which never fail to usher the frolicsome stranger into existence. Would it be deemed disrespectful or irreverent, if we were humbly to supplicate the Prime Minister of Great Britain henceforth not to laugh so loudly The papers still continue to give numerous details of the said accident on board the Princeton. The Presi dent, upon acquainting the House of Representatives officially with the melancholy event, whilst expressing his deep grief at the great loss of valuable lives sus tained by the country, said that no blame could attach to the commander or crew of the Princeton :—the acci dent was purely accidental. The President has ap pointed the Hon. J. Nelson, Attorney-General of United States, to the office of Secretary of State ; and Commo dore Warrington, Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, to that of Secretary, pro tempore. Both Mr. Daniel Webster and Mr. J. C. Calhoun are spoken of as likely to succeed Mr. Usher as Secretary the latter probably with some chance. The appointment is at the present time a very important one as the very first act of the new Secretary will be the negotiation of the Ore gon Territory question with our Plenipotentiary, Mr. Packenham, who bad just opened his views of the mat ter to Mr. Upshur, when that gentleman was so unfor tunately killed on board the Princeton. It is hardly likely that Mr. Webster would take the office under present aspects; but Mr. Calhoun, who has just merged his claim to the Presidency in those of Mr. Van Buren, will probably accept the office, if offered to him. Mr. M. MILNES gave notice of an amendment on lord PALMERSTON'S motion relative to the slave trade, to the effect that the mutual right of search was only temporary, and should be at all times under the con trol of the Governments who were parties to the treaty. Some other notices of motion were given, and ques tions put to the Government, which are briefly stated in the Parliamentary report. Colonel WOOD moved for leave to bring in a Bill to exempt lime from toll conveyed on any turnpike toad in Wales. Mr. HUME opposed the motion ; the 33i1l was intended only for the landlords, and he did ot see why they should enjoy such an exemption. ISir CHARLES MORGAN was also opposed to the mea sure. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he was decidedly opposed to the exemption, but he would not oppose the introduction of the Bill, as he thought it ought to printed and sent down to Wales, in order that the opinion of the people in that quarter might be ascer tained. On a division leave was given to bring in the 33111 by a majority of 26. Mr. HUTT moved that corn imported from British possessions in South Africa, India, and Australasia, Le subjected to the same duty as that paid on corn smported from Canada. The motion wag rejected by to majority of 70. Sir G. STAUNTON then made a motion for granting a pension to the survivors of the Sate Doctor MORRISON, for his services in China. After a lengthened discussion, the motion was with drawn, and the House adjourned at Eleven o'Clock. The Easter holidays commence next week, Par 3iament of course, is to be adjourned for the usual :period, great numbers of Members are already on the -wing to enjoy themselves at their country seats, and 'he public may therefore justly ask what their repre esentatives have done during two months. Questions sof vast importance should have been brought before aither the lazy House of Lords or the talking House 'of Commons ; but has there been one measure in -which the people can take the slightest interest in aroduced into either House ? While Ireland is xxvaning under oppressions which no other portion eufthe United Kingdom submitted to, which England tand Scotland resisted as one man, and which are a 'disgrace to the age, the "strong Ministry," it is true, sitiopt strong measures, but they are the measures of one despot. Troops are sent into Ireland, the best :friends of the country (for Mr. O ' CONNELL, with all }his faults, is her truest friend) are persecuted, juries acre packed, newspaper reporters are bribed, and every 'scheme is adopted by the High Church party to irritate that country against the Gover nment. No ktmedy is proposed for the evils which afflict Ireland, rnd which are unparalleled in any European State. :The Tories rejoice in punishment, and Ireland knows It well. But what have the Government, during these two months, done for England ? They have seduced the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. They Lave robbed certain fundholders of a portion of their rnmnties. Have they made any compensation ? Bave they proposed any measure which can alleviate /the burdens of the people ? The enormous duties on sugar, and corn, and tea, the articles chiefly consumed by the working - classes, are to re wain as they are, and while the poor are starving, the country gentlemen retire to their seats to enjoy the amusements of hunting an d racing. 4 system like this cannot prosper ; and we are glad to find that even one of the Tory party is so con vinced of the iniquity of the Government that he abakes off the dust of his feet against them. Last Session was emphatically called the "Do-nothing session," and the Government were named the " Do-nothing Government." Have they improved ? Was there ever such a miserable exhibition made by s weak Government as has been made under that Go vernment which boasts of the support of the Church, the wealth, and the intelligence of the country ? There is not one measure of the slightest interest which they have proposed or intend to carry. These high Conservatives sneer at the French Chambers, they sneer also at the French people; but what a roble contrast does France exhibit compared with England, in her Parliamentary legislation. Every and stormily at his own facetiousness ? Our supplication is urged from the kindliest motives, for conceive the confusion and anguish that would ensue, were the donor of that national boon, the Income tax, to be suddenly suffocated, like the Dutchman in WASHINGTON IRVIRG'S " History of New York," in an unsuccessful attempt to force a laugh at one of his own jokes! Madrid papers of the 18th have been received, but they bring no intelligence of the slightest interest. General RONCALI reached Carthagena on the 12th, when his advanced posts were within gun-shot of the town, and every preparation was made for the bom bardment. All the Ministers had arrived at Aran juez, to be present at the meeting of the QUEEN with her mother. The Three per Cent 3. were done at 341 for cash, and 351 at 60 days, being a rise of 1 in the first, and 11 in the last ; and the Five per Cents. at 23k at 60 days. Three Bills of considerable importance have been brought before the French Chamber of Deputies in Committee—one to prevent bribery and corruption at elections ; a second, to abolish the stamp duty on newspapers ; and, the third, to reduce the number of voters on any Bill before the Chamber from 230, now required by the standing orders, to 100. The Committees, by large majorities, sanctioned the intro duction of these measures. The abolition of the tax on newspapers, however, was opposed by the Govern- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 27, 1844. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. The Funds have been firm this afternoon, but there has not been quite so high a value realised for Consols, which closed at 98i 987,-. Exchequer Bills were without alteration. The Foreign Funds were rather animated. Spanish Five per Cents. touched 25* to I for Money, and 251 to I for Account. The Three per Cents. were 36 * to *; and the 1843 Coupons, to be capitalised, 30i to Mexican Bonds were worth 36 to i; and Colombian, 14/. Mexican Deferred Stock rose to 16 8 8. 'The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these :—Birmingham and Derby were 40 to 38k; Brighton, 58; Midland Counties, 10 to 91; North Mid land, 8i; South Eastern, 1314; and Great North of Eng land, I discount. Eastern Counties New, 5; Ditto Ex tension, 1; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 14 to 144; Great -Western Fifths, 7; Lancaster and Carlisle, 2i; Man chester and Leeds, 44f ; Norwich and Brandon, 41 ; South-Eastern Scrip, 12; and York and North Midland, Scarborough Branch, 18 premium. Colonial Bank Shares were 10* to 10 discount. London and West minster, 41 to 5; and Union of Australia, 8 to a prem. The following are the official returns of the exports of bullion for the week endin g Thursday last:— Silver bars to Hamburgh 46,800 oz. Rotterdam „ coin to Ditto Belgium New York Gold „ Ditto Port Philip 4901. The exchange on Hamburgh and Trieste did not look quite so good. On Paris and Antwerp it was steady. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The transactions in Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were again limited, only 2,000 bags having been sold. Purchases were made on rather easier terms, and the market had still a downward tendency. The sales comprised 300 Surat at M. to 44d. ; 150 Egyptian at 70. to 74d. ; 50 Pernambuco at 64d., and the rest American at sd. to 64d. per lb.—A fair business was done in Railways, but prices ra ther receded.

The supply of Cotton was coming forward with very considerable activity. The crop is estimated in round numbers at 1,700,000 bales. Spe culators for a rise were all at fault, the news from the country having been bad as to prices. Trade was steady. There are no advices of importance by the Patrick Henry, from Canada. After all it appears that the capitalists of this country are to be asked to advance further sums to the Spanish Treasury. Indeed, so sure does Senor Carrasco seem of raising a new loan that, in the budget, published in some of our Morning Contemporaries, an amount of revenue is absolutely set aside to provide for the interest of the fresh loan to be created. Under date of Madrid the 17th the following information upen this topic is given : " Senor Carraso has drawn up and handed to the British Minister a sort of eaporti of the affairs of Spain, intended to set forth her pretensions to such a state of credit as will give her a good footing with foreign nations, provided recourse should.be had to them to assist her with a new loan. " The tenor of this document may be thus described : ' Suppose that we strike out the annual charge of 249,000,000 reals for the interest of our debt, which it is useless to talk of paying ; suppose that all pronunciamentos are at an end ; sup pose that we can reduce our army, and strike off from next year's estimate of the Minister of War 140,000,000 reels — suppose, further, that I am allowed to remain in office to mature my plans, keep up the funds, and levy a new land-tax of 300,000,000 reels, then Spain will go on swimmingly , paying, as usual, 30,000,000 reals interest on the Three per Cents. • 20,000,000 for new capitalizations in progress , an d 30,000,000 more on the proposed loan, leaving in the trea sury a surplus of nearly 1,000,0001. sterling.' " After the experience that the public in this country (for the rieh and the middle classes in numbers have cause to repent buying Spanish Stock) have had of what Castilian honour' means, surprised indeed shall we be if Carrasco succeeds in gul ling the moneyed interest any longer. It is in fact a monstrous absurdity to suppose that Spain can with all the reductions and the increased revenues anticipated, pay even a reduced interest upon the internal and foreign debt, and have a surplus of income over expenditure of a million sterling. This we do know, that there are scarcely any men in the City to be found who will take the scrip of the proposed new loan. Those who do will act upon the principle of the fable of the " Fox and the Goat." The fox fell into a well ; the goat came to drink; and the former advised the latter to jump down (the water being low —as are the finances of Spain) and taste the refreshing beverage, which the goat having done, the wily fox used the back and horns of the befooled animal to escape from his predicament, leaving the goat in the lurch. So with those who would aid the Spanish Mi nister to raise a new loan in this country. Most assuredly, the public, who may follow them, will be dupes of those who are only anxious to get out of the well. A slight depression has taken place in the value of Stock to-day. For Money, the price of Consols, after touching 99, is now but 984 to 984. Consols for Account have remained at 984. The Commissioners took about 30,000/. Consols this morning at 984. The Three per Cents. of 1726, have been quoted at 974. For Exchequer Bills the premium has receded again to 68e. Bank Stock remains at 2004, and India Stock at 292. In Spanish Stock to-day the variations have been slight, The Actives have improved to 254 4, and the Three per Cents. for the Account to 364 4. For Portuguese Converted 464 has been paid. Dutch Stock has rallied a shade. Bra zilians have receded. Mexican Deferred have advanced to 16, but are now 4 per cent. lower ; and Venezuelan are at 114. Scarcely an average amount of business has been trans acted in the Railway Share Market to-day, and prices have but slightly varied. Provincial Bank of Ireland Shares have just realised 18, premium. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, MARCH 25.—There has been a very limited business done to-day, but prices are steady. Bolton and Preston, 304 ; Bristol and Exeter, 71 to 72 ; Dublin and Drogheda, 65 to 66 ; Manchester and Birming ham, 47 to 474; Manchester and Leeds, 115 to 116; Paris and Rouen, 364 to 364.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Public Optuton. " Who runs may read." FoBEIaN. The funeral of General Pajol took place on Saturday. At an early hour of the forenoon the house of the deceased General was filled with his friends and followers. Three battalions of infantry, a squadron of dragoons, and one of hussars, were stationed in the vicinity to form the escort, and groups of people began to form by ten o'clock in the streets in the neighbourhood. At a quarter past eleven o'clock the body was removed to the church of St. Louis (d'Antin), where mass was celebrated. At about half-past twelve, the religious ceremony being over, the coffin was placed on the hearse, and the procession proceeded to the cemetery of Pere la Chaise, following the Boulevards from that of the Madeleine to the Place de la Bastille. A con siderable number of Peers, Deputies, and general officers, followed in their carriages, and a battalion of the 71st In fantry closed the procession. The Bulletin del Exercito, a Madrid paper, contains the following :—" The plan of the authors of the conspiracy, recently discovered at Valencia, was to obtain by intrigue some regiments of cavalry, and when the whole population should have left the town to meet Queen Christina, to raise the cry of alarm, and seize her as a hostage. This project was discovered before it could be carried into execution. Some of the conspirators are arrested, and, from the zeal of the authorities of Valencia, we have no doubt that their accomplices will also be secured." The Journal des Chemins de Fer, alluding to the statement of an offer having been made to the French Government to provide capital for the execution of all the intended lines of railroad, says :—" Several journals have mentioned an offer made to the French Government by several banking-houses, of an advance of 500,000,00 0 f., for the execution of the rail roads. This proposition, of which the Journal des Chemins de Fer spoke first about a month ago, is made on the following conditions per cent. interest, a centime per kilometre for each ton of goods and each passenger, for 25 years, or half a centime for the circulation when above a thousand tons and 1,000 passengers. The reimbursement at par in 25 years from 1860.' A letter from St. Valery-sur-Somme gives an account of the loss of a foreign three-masted vessel, name Finella, but of what nation has not been learned. She was driven on shore off St. Quentin (Somme), and soon went to pieces. She was of 400 tons, and entirely in ballast. All the crew are believed to have been lost, as none have been heard of alive, and the bodies of two white men and a black, in sailors' clothes, have been found on the shore. The Ring of Sardinia, on the 4th inst., assisted by the Prince Royal and Duke Eugene de Carignan, laid the first foundation-stone of the intended colossal bridge over the Sesia at Vercelli. The Archbishop of Vercelli pronounced a benediction on the work, and in the evening the town was generally illuminated. The Toulonnais states that Vice-Admiral Baudin, the Maritime Prefect of Toulon, left that place on the 20th for Paris, and that a telegraphic dispatch had been received, ordering the Minerve frigate to be immediately got ready for sea. It is announced she is to receive an Admiral on board. For some days back a correspondence has been going on between M. V. Grandin and M. C. Laffitte, on the subject of electoral manoeuvres with which the latter is accused by M. Grandin, but denied by the other party. They have at last agreed to refer the matter to a jury of arbitration. The gen tlemen chosen by M. Grandin are MM. Odillon Barrot, Vivien, and d'Haussonville ' • M. C. Laffitte has chosen MM. Duprat, d'Haubersaert, and de Morny. LAW AND POLICE. At the Carmarthen assizes, on the 23d, John Jones, Evan Davies, John Davies, John Thomas, David Evans, Thomas Thomas, and another John Thomas, were charged with havin g burglariously broken and entered the dwelli n g house of one Daniel Harris, at Pontybenissar, on the 12th of August last, and with having stolen one sovereign, one shilling, and a promissory note therefrom. The case lasted a long time, and was terminated by the jury finding all the prisoners guilty. Mr. Alderman Wood, who sat at the Mansion-house in the early part of the day, said he had received a lette r from the Lord Mayor, which had been addressed to him by Mr. Wedge wood, the commissioner of hackney carriages, complaining of a decision which he had come to in the case of a man named Death, whom he had fined for acting as a conductor, he only having a waterman's badge. The worthy Alderman said that he had looked into the case again, and considering the word ing of the Act of Parliament and the evidence given upon the occasion, he saw no reason whatever for reversing the decision which he had given. At Union-hall, William Davis, who described himself as a surgeon, was charged with stealing a bullock's heart from a shop in the New-cut, and a further charge was pre ferred against him of attempting to commit saicide in the station-house. After hearing ev id enc e, Mr. Train said he had his Lopinion of the case ;'but, as the prisoner asserted his innocence, lie should send it before a jury, if the prisoner wished, but!if not, he should deal summarily with the charge. The pri soner requested that he might be allowed time to reflect which of the alternatives he would select, and, his wish being complied with, after an hour's cogitation, he rose up at the bar, and, addressing the magistrate, said his mind was made up, and that he preferred a summary punishment to a committal for trial. He was then sentenced to 21 days' imprisonment. A middle aged female, named Mary Farley, was placed within the felons' bar before Mr. Norton, at Lambeth-street, on a charge of murder, in having caused the death of George Farley, her infant son, aged eighteen months, and also with having attempted the additional crime of suicide by endan gering her own life. The prisoner admitted both charges, and said she had been so comfortably off in her time that the idea of being driven to a workhouse, and having her children se parated from her, and treated in so indifferent a manner, had driven her to such a state of distraction that death would have been a happy release to her, and she very much re gretted that she had been rescued from a situation which must in a few moments have terminated her earthly suffer ings. Mr. Norton remanded the prisoner for a future day, and desired that a note should be appended to the warrant that she should be taken particular care of. COURT—rasszoNanx.z. The Duke of Wellington, as director of the second concert of Ancient Music, will, to-day, give at Apsley-house, a dinner to a party of twelve, including the noble directors who have arrived in town.

The Marquis of Downshire, Earl of Hillsborough, and Lady Edwin Hill have left town, for Ipswich, to attend the funeral of Lord Wiliam Hill.

The nomination for the borough of Hastings will take place on Thursday, and the polling on Friday On Friday last the Liberal candidate, Mr. Moore, addressed a numerous meeting of the electors, Benjamin Smith, Esq., M.P., in the chair. On Saturday Mr. Moore addressed the far mers in the market-room. He was accompanied by . Mr. Smith, M.P., Mr. Elphinstone, M.P., Mr. Brotherton, jun., and Mr. Evans. Mr. Moore is making great progress in the good opinion of the electors. The Tories have not dared to hold one public meeting, and therefore Mr. Brisco's feelings on:many points of political interest are totally unknown to the great body of the electors. On Monday an aggregate meeting of the members of the medical profession was held in the large room of the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Mr. Ancell, in the chair, supported by Mr. Wakley, M.P., Dr. Carpue, Dr. Wilson, Dr. Lynch, Dr. Ayres, and a large body of the members of the Royal College of Surgeons, to form a National Medical Protection Assem bly, and to counteract the provisions of the charter recently granted by the Crown to the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons. Dr. Lynch read a statement of the finances of the Association, which, he was happy to state, amounted to 1001„ including 251. from Mr. Wakley. Resolutions constituting I the Association having been agreed to, and others, providing for a proper enrolment and registration of members carried, the meeting separated shortly before twelve o'clock. A public meeting of the friends of peace was held on Monday at the Grove House Tavern, Camberwell, for the pur pose of forming an auxiliary society for Camberwell and Peckham. Mr. Grims haw in the ch air. The m eetin g was addressed by the Rev. Mr. Richards, the Rev . J. Burnett, essrs.

BOTOLPH, B I SHOPSGATE.-011 turday forenoon, at ten o'clock, a vestry meeting of the parish of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, was held in the church, to make a church -rate ; also a rate for the support of the poor. The Rev. Dr. Russell, the Rector, in the chair. A four. penny rate for the charges on account of the church, having been agreed to, Mr. Smart, vestry clerk, stated the various items chargeable to the account of the poor-rate, which amounted to about 1,600/., and said that a tenpenny rate on a rental of 41,0001. would produce nearly 1,687/. A tenpenny rate was then agreed to. RAILWAY TRESPASS.—On Monday, a carter from the country was fined by Sheriff Skene in 5/. for trespassing on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway on the previous Saturday night. It appears that the man, who was tipsy, had been apprehended walking along the line from Kirkintolloch to Cowlairs, and that the night train had passed him on the way. It is certainly singular that heavy . fines require to be indicted on people for the purpose of more impressively warn • ing them to be careful of their own lives ! Had this man been eun over by the night train, on whom would the blame have rested Glasgow Post, , BANKRUPTS.
