YORK-SATURDAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—There are political as well as religious zealots ; and when a particular crotchet seizes the brain of either, every other consideration must be conceded to their favourite dogma. In the Address of Mr. Wakley to the public on the subject of " Newspaper Stamps," there is a warmth of temperature exhibited, mixed up with acrimonious allu sions to certain Hon. Members whom he designates '° treacherous " friends to the cause they profess to advo cate, and which allusions are as unjust as they are ungene rous. Is it possible that Mr. Wakley can conce ive that the present Ministry are " treacherous" in their profes s io ns of .a desire to give a full and gene ral circulation to political information, and that their proposition for the continuance of a penny stamp, is the damn in g fact that proves their hollowness ? If such be the notion of Mr. Wakley, I would tell that gentleman he evinces a want of fairness and candour towards others by no means honourable to a man of discrimination and integrity of principle. I mean by " integrity of principle," to extend to others what you are desirous should be conceded to yourself—namely, truth and sincerity in your declarations, without the suspicion of any flimsy covering or lurking treachery behind. Mr. Wakley is pleased with the thought that the vote on the question of Stamp, or- no Stamp, is placed in such a position that there cannot be any blinking of the question—that the real f riends of a free, untaxed Press, may be known from the treacherous professed friends of that measure. Of so much importance does Mr. Wakley make the duty or tax of a penny on a Newspaper, that if the House permit it to be imposed, " the welfare and peace of the people" will be endangered by it—his words are, in the form of a Petition be recommends, that they are fully impressed with a belief that "an unstamped Press is essential to the welfare and peace of the people bclonging to a free State." I don't know, Sir, what you may think of this ; but to me it is most pitiable twaddle. What ?—the peace and welfare of the people of England to be affected by a tax on a Newspaper of one penny, the sole object of which duty is to pay the expense of transmitting those vehicles of knowledge throughout the United Kingdom. Is it possible that Mr. Wakley can be serious in his apprehensions—or is it rather to be considered what is called a " clap-trap" for another election 2 The Honourable 'Nlember must pardon me ; but, as be-is so ready to impute motives to others, which they repudiate, those others may suspect that he himself is not actuated by motives perfectly remote from personal considerations. I do hope that Mr. Spring Rice will see the propriety of deducting 25 per cent. from the penny, that the papers may be sold at 4d. That, I think, is desirable. I shall be very much pleased to see Mr. Wakley advo cating the cause of truth as its respects cases denominated libels—that is to say, nothing shall be denominated a libel that can be proved to be true. I mean this in the most extended sense, that, whether the affair related pertains to individuals in public or private life, if the affair be true as to facts, the crime of libel shall not apply. I am, Sir, your's respectfully, OBSERVATOR. I'tIUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF LONDON. Yesterday the Committee of the whole Court upon the Municipal Corporation of the City of London, assembled at the Guildhall, for the purpose of discussing the remain ing propositions suggested by the Peerolsers for the conside ration of the Com Missioners, William Pritchard, Esq., in the Chair. The subject particularly related to the reform of the Court itself. ELECTION OF COMMON COUNCILMEN. Upon the motion of Mr. CHARLES PEARSON, it was un animously agreed that the common councilmen should be annually elected in wards. Mr: HALL then moved that the present number of 240 should be reduced to 160 ; a number which, he contended, would most efficiently' perform all the duties of the Cor poration. Mr. R. TAYLOR seconded the proposition. Mr. ANDERTON moved, in the absence of Sir Peter Laurie, who had given notice of the amendment, that the number should be continued at 240. Mr. FLETCHER was decidedly against any material dimi nution of the number of the members. Mr. HALE could see no, use in continuing so large a number of common councilmen. After a few words from Messrs. Bower, Heppe% Fisher, Baylis, and R. Taylor, the original motion was negatived, and ' Mr. FLETCHER moved that " there should be no mate rial diMinution in the members of the Common Council." Mr. CHARLES•PEARSON moved as an amendment that the number of Common Councilmen ought to be reduced to 120, provided the election of Aldermen could be ren dered periodical according to the proposition already agreed to by the Committee. It was idle to expect that Parlia ment or the citizens could tolerate the continuance of such a cumbrous and expensive piece of machinery as a Com mon Council of 240 members, whilst the largest number assigned to any other Corporation was 48. Without the reduction of the number of the Common Councilmen all efforts to accomplish retrenchment in the expenditure would be in vain. After some further discussion, Mr. Pearson's amend ment was negatived, as were five or six others of a similar tendency. It was at length agreed that the number sEould not be less than 200.—The Court then adjourned. IRELAND. WRITS OF REBELLION.—The Leinster Express (an Orange paper) gives an account of proceedings so out rageous, brutal, an despotic, that we can with difficulty believe that such s nes can have been enacted in a ci vilized country. Eight families, according to the account, were forced out of their beds at dead of night, their houses broken into, their doors smashed to atoms ! Here is a process for the recovery of Tithes. Six gentlemen-farmers were seized on, dragged along the country for eleven hours at night, and then lodged in the common jail. The report concludes thus :—" A Mr. Reddy was the next they took, but finding him in a very delicate state of health they did not remove him ; they then searched several houses, but did not succeed until they came to Mr. Henry's, whom they arrested without the slightest opposition, and brought with them. Mr. Patrick Ryan, of Inch Castle, was the next on the list who refused to admit them, but they soon overcame his unwillingness by breaking in the door with their sledges, and captured him. It being at this time nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, they did not go further, put their prisoners on a jaunting-car, and drove them into Athy jaol, where they still remain. A good many of their friends accompanied them to the town of Athy, and were evidently enraged at witnessing the committal of some of those who were the very head and front' of the tithe con spiracy. They are all strollg farmers and very respectable men. The little agitators of Athy may take a lesson from this—at least those who have anythinc , to lose by an oppo sition to the law. The party were out for twelve hours, and could not have traversed less than twenty-five miles." A letter dated 16th of March, from Athy, published in the Freeman of Monday, confirms the report of the out rages committed by the midnight marauders there. DUBLIN SOCIETY.—The last letter which Mr. Drum mond wrote to the Society was after a debate ordered to be placed on the minutes. In the Society's answer, time for consideration is asked. His Excellency intimated pretty plainly that the large grant hitherto voted would not be proposed by the Government. The conduct of the servants of the visiters at the Duchess of Kent's banquet on Saturday is said to have been most flagitious ; and their conflict with the police such as could only emanate from persons accustomed to an audacious disre gard of all control and decency. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—On Monday morning, about 11 o'clock, as a man named Jenkins, in the employ of Mr. Bryant, of Oxford-street, was exercising a pair of spirited young horses in a break, on passing along Little Borlow street, contiguous to Marylebone Police Office, the animals suddenly took fright at a youth who was bowling his hoop, and after several desperate plunges, dashed forward on to the foot pavement with irresistible force. The wheel of the ve hicle c oming in contact with the story post of t he house No. 10, shattered it to pieces, carrying away several feet of the brickwork, and shaking the building in such a manner as to cause considerable alarm among the inmates, one of whom had just entered and shut the door. By the violence of the shock the unfortunate driver above named was precipitated from his elevated position on to the pavement, and had his skull fractured and his left leg badly broken in two places. He was conveyed to Middlesex Hospitable in this deplorable conditi on , where he remains without hope of recovery. The horses were with difficulty stopped without doing further mis chief. The break was shattered to pieces. MILITARY CHALLENGE.—TheEspanolof Madrid contains a letter from Don Fernando Fernandez Cordova (brother of Gen era l C or d ova ), dated Lizaso , Februar y 26, to Don Joaquin Elio, a Colonel in the Carlist army, whereby the former accepts a challenge proposed by the l atter, to fight with an equal nu m b er of men, with the permission of General Cordova. And in order to show the superiority of the Queen's troops, with the authorit yl ie of his brother,chal lenges the Carlist Colone a l ga t an engagement with 300 cavalry of the Queen's troops and d oo chosen Lancers of the enemy's. With 16 battalionsst cavalry; cavalry he will meet 20 battalions of Carlists and 50 n e, , 600 and with 23 bat talions of the Queen's troops, cavalry, vho ar l i e d 4 pieces of artillery, he will fight on open ground the whole forces of the Queen's enemies united, in the four provinces, which, 4l accord ing to the Carlist official accounts, amount 'to battalions and 1,000 cavalry, with several pieces of artilley. should have thought the o pp ortunities to fi g ht had beren.Ve Nsuffi ciently abundant in the North of Spain to render special challenges useless. It wo uld be more p rofitable to act than to bluster. Suchfu l furronades are sufficiently characteristi c of the men who have recourse to them. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

The absence of Lord JOIIN RUSSELL prevented Mr. WAKLEY from bringing forward his motion for the Repeal of the Septennial Act last night. Had it been the intention of Ministers to oppose the motion, we question whether a Member of the Cabinet would have pleaded such a plea in justification of postpone ment. Be this as it may, Ministers have not yet committed themselves ; and, before doing so, we regard it as our duty to remind them, that any opposition to the principle of the abridgement of the duration of Parliaments, will be deemed, on their part, an act of political apostacy. The leaders of the Cabinet have obtained a lasting celebrity for the decisiveness of their opinions upon this subject ; and the season for carrying these opinions into hill effect is most propitious. We know that the Whigs have been taunted with having passed the Septennial Act, which but for them never would have had an existence. We do not blame them for passing it—we blame them for not repealing it, when the circumstances which rendered the passing of it necessary to the peaceable accession of the House of Bruns wick to the Throne of these realms had passed away. Those who are acquainted with the history of the last years of ANNE'S reign, must know that the QUEEN did all in her power to effect the accession of her bro ther upon her own demise ; and that the Septennial Act was passed for the express purpose of keeping the Tories, then the devoted adherents of the PRETENDER, out of Parliament. It suited the temper of those times to extol the popular enthusiasm in favour of the House of Brunswick, and to represent the House of Stuart as detested by all but a few discontented intriguing Peers. But such was not the truth ; and in reality, but for the timely passing of the Septennial Act, it is very possible that GEORGE I. would have died Elec tor of Hanover, instead of adding to his hereditary honours the regality of Great Britain and Ireland. The passing of the Septennial Act was certainly a violent stretch of Parliamentary power, and could only be justified by absolute necessity. But before the accession of the House of STUART it was not the long duration of Parliaments, but the absence of Parliaments, that was apprehended as dangerous by the people. So early as the reign of EDWARD 111, an Act was passed (4 Ed. 111., c. 14), by which it is ordained and appointed " that Par liaments shall be holden every year, or oftener, if need be"—the absence of a Parliament and not the duration of its sitting being then the only evil appre hended. The first Bill for Triennial Parliaments was passed in 1641. By that Act—one of the most judi cious of the Long Parliament—it was provided and ordained that every Parliament was to be ipso facto dissolved at the expiration of three years from the commencement of its Session, unless actually sitting at the time, and then on its first adjournment or pro rogation. The Keeper of the Great Seal was to take an oath to issue writs for a new Parliament within three years from the dissolution of the last, under pain of disability to hold his office, and such other punish ment as the Commons might adjudge him to. In the event of his non-compliance, the Peers were to as semble and issue writs to the Sheriffs ; and should their Lordships neglect to do so, after a certain number of days, it was lawful for the Electors to meet of their own accord, and choose Representatives, who were to possess the same powers and privileges, to all intents and purposes, as if chosen in compliance with the Chancellor's writ. It will be easily perceived, . that the expedients here laid down to ensure the meeting of Parliament, are levelled against the arbitrary exaction of ship-money, and other imposts levied without con sent of the Commons ; and that the abuses which they proposed to remedy can never again distract the peace, and peril the security, of this country. It is not a little singular that the Parliament which passed this Act continued to sit without intermission for thirteen years, and in the end was dissolved by violence ! It is not surprising that the Restoration swept away every trace of the salutary measures passed during the first two years of the Long Parliament. In the ex THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1836, lity 1 "—as our contemporary the Times quaintly has it. DON CARLOS, too, set out on an ex cursion on the 14th, but having reached Elorrio, he pitched his tent, resolved not to move further till the fine weather. Of the British Legion we have heard nothing since the account of their being snowed up in Vittoria. PARIS, MARCH 21.-( From the Journal du Commerce.) — We learn by letters from Vienna, that the Aulic Council of War manifests much activity, and its sittings are very frequent. Persons who are well informed say, that it is in contemplation to increase the number of the fortresses in the East of the Austrian Empire, and to repair the ancient fortifications. After the . revolution of July, measures for the protection of the Wes tern frontier in particular were taken, and great military works raised at Linz. Since the affairs of the East have drawn the attention of the Cabinet of Vienna, it thinks it necessary to secure its frontiers on that side. It is also announced that an army of 60,000 men will be assembled in that part of the empire where the frontiers of Hungary, Galicia, and Transylvania meet, and that the command of it will be given to General Radetzki, one of the most experienced of the Austrian Gene rals, and who enjoys high favour in consequence of his im provements in the army and in Italy. Troops are already on their march to their appointed stations. Another change mentioned in the letters is, that instead of abiding by the system of reciprocal surveillance, and sending the Hungarians to Italy, and the Italians to Hungary, the troops will serve in their own country. It is possible that the affairs of the East may lead to serious embarrassments ; and where a country is to be defended against a foreign enemy it is best to employ native troops. This military enforcement has given rise to a report a Vienna that the Austrians may perhaps occupy Bosnia ; bu there is nothing to confirm this news. The approaching con elusion of a loan for 100,000,000 florins was still spoken of and the negociation was said to be in a state of great for wardness FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, MARCH 21.

MENDIZABAL remains Mi nister of Finance, but it is not stated whether he retains the Presidency, or has given it up to M. STURIZ. W e have received German Papers of the latest dates. They represent the great Northern Powers as making preparations for war ! However, we are not apprehensive, as Lord PALMERSTON and - Louis PHILIPPE are pledged to maintain the peace of Eu rope. Under such guardianship England and France can have nothing to fear. Mr. PETER BORTHWICK brought forward his long threatened motion on the Mauritius last night—with a view, we suppose,- - tu - prevent - the — Houte from pro ceeding with more pressing and important business— at least we can assign no other reason for his conduct ; for his motion was by no means of an urgent nature, and might very safely have been postponed for a few nights. Sir R. PEEL, however, appeared to think otherwise ; and accordingly urged the Hon. Member to persevere, paying him, at the same time, by way of inducement, sundry small compliments on his " for bearance," which may serve to console him for the apathy with which his prosy speech was listened to by a drowsy House. In the deplorable condition, as re spects both numbers and energy, to which the Tory party is just now reduced, we do not wonder at Sir R. PEEL, as head of that party, essaying the complimentary ; for many a Waverer, like BORTIIWICK, has ere now been caught by a few adroit and honeyed phrases. No Reformer, however, will grudge him the acquisition of such a prize as PETER ; it being notorious that PETER is one of those dry sticks to whom Mr. MACKINNON aptly alluded the other day, as abounding among the Tories. Throw a net, any hour you please, across the Strand, and we will lay a wager that at the very first bawl, you shall catch a dozen better speakers than PETER. We avail ourselves of the p os tponement of the dis cussion on the Tithe Commutation Bill, to make a few remarks which have been suggested to us by certain objections urged against the measure. We do not participate either in the alarm expressed by some, or the doubts thrown out by others, of our Contempo raries, as to the effects to be produced by the Bill, should it be carried forward without altering its main principle. That there are great difficulties in the way of a final settlement cannot be denied—how could it be otherwise where conflicting interests are to be ad justed ? It is, perhaps, not the least of these difficul ties, that the great majority of those who have to deter mine the question at issue, are too deeply interested in the result, to approach it with that Calmness and im partiality which are necessary to an equitable and satisfactory decision. The landowners, and those who adopt their views, are dissatisfied with the principle which the Bill lays do - Ism for converting Tithe into a rent charge. It is totally inadmissible, they say, that the average value of Tithes for the last seven years should be taken as the measure of a burden to be permanently fixed on the land, because the land may not in future be so productive as it has been heretofore, and because the prices of agricultural produce having been higher during these seven years than they are at present, or are ever likely to be again, the rate of commutation is unjust to the landowner. The titheowner is reminded of the fluctuating nature and precarious tenure of his pro perty, and admonished of the necessity of making some sacrifice, in order to render his Tithe more secure. Now, in all this there is an imposing sound, and little else. Does the tithe-owner in reality make no sacri fice ? What are the undisputed rights which he pos sesses at present ? Does any one deny that he is en titled to the tenth part of the produce of all the land in England, which either now is, or may hereafter be, brought under cultivation ? He is, in future, to have no interest in any land, except that which at p resent pays Tithe. From all the benefit which he might de rive from improved modes of husbandry, increased out lay of capital on land, and the cultivation of lands not now under the plough, he is entirely and for ever cut o f ; and in addition to the forfeiture of all these pro spective advantages, he gives up from one-fourth to two-fifths of the amount of his present claims. Yet he is called upon to make sacrifices ! Let us next see how the land-owner is affected. The Bill proposes that the tithe paid (luring the last sev en years shall be valued at the average price during this period, and that this value shall be converted into an equivalent quantity of grain, according to the average price to the same period, which quantity of grain is really the rent charge to be fixed on the land. The landowner objects to this on account of the high price of agricultural produce. Now, this is the first time we ever heard such a complaint from the mouth of a landlord, and, we must say, it comes with a very bad grace from such a quarter. The universal cry among the landholders for many years past has been, that prices have been ruinously low ; but it seems when it suits their purpose, or (which is the same thing) when they think it does so, these ruinously low prices can become ruinously high. It is an enviable privi lege to be allowed to blow hot and cold with the same breath. But the truth is, that the higher the price of grain has been during the last seven years, the better will it be for the landowner in the commutation. The Tithe,lit must be observed, is first valued in money, and this money is converted into a certain number of bushels of wheat, barley, and oats, as a rent charge. Now, it is evident that the dearer these articles are, the smaller will be the number of bushels of them which the money value of the Tithe will purchase, and consequently the smaller the rent charge fixed upon the land. As far as the Tithe con sists of wheat, barley, and oats, the commodities of which the rent-charge is to consist, it will make no difference whether prices have been high or low—but when other articles have to be commuted, the high price of grain is altogether in favour of the landlord. We had intended to notice some of the other objec tions which have been made by ;the landlords ; but we have been obliged, by want of room, to reserve our observations for to-morrow. DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.) The Committee met this morning at the usual hour, when the second objection, taken by Mr. Austen yesterday, namely, that there was no demand made by the contractor of the Pipe Water Tax, was argued by counsel on both sides. Mr. Harrison addressed the Committee for the petitioners, and Mr. Austen was heard in reply. After which the Committee retired, but had not come to any deci sion on the point when our reporter left. cess of its joy the nation forgot that these measures contained the most excellent guarantees for its inde pendence, if prudently exercised ; and thus our liberties were again exposed to the caprice of tyranny. The Revolution of 1688 opened all men's eyes to these dangers ; and the question of Triennial Par liaments was once more revived. HALLAM, in his Constitutional History, thus details the reasons which induced Parliament to insist on the passing of that measure : " The enormous duration of seventeen years, for which CHARLES 11. protracted his second Parliament, turned the thoughts of all who desired improvements in the Constitution towards some limitation on a pre rogative which had not hitherto been' thus abused. Not only the continuance of the same House of Com mons during such a period destroyed the connection between the people and their representatives, and laid open the latter, without responsibility, to the corrup tion which was hardly denied to prevail ; but the pri vilege of exemption from civil process made needy and worthless men secure against their creditors, and de sirous of a seat in Parliament as a complete safeguard to fraud and injustice. The term of three years ap peared sufficient to establish a controul of the electoral over the representative body, without recurring to the ancient and inconvenient scheme of Annual Parlia ments, which men, enamoured of a still more popular form of Government than our own, were eager to recommend. A Bill for this purpose was brought into the House of Lords in Dec., 1689, but lost by the proro gation. It passed both Houses early in 1693, the Whigs -generally supporting, and the Tories opposing it ; but on this, as on many other great questions of this reign, the two parties were not so regularly arrayed against' each other as on points of a more personal na ture. To this Bill the KING refused his assent—an exercise of prerogative which no ordinary circumstances can reconcile, either with prudence, or with a consti tutional administration of Government. But the Com mons, as it was easy to foresee, did not abandon so important a measure. A similar Bill received the Royal Assent in November, 1694. By the Triennial Bill it was simply provided that every Parliament should cease and determine within three years from its meeting. The clause contained in the Act of CHARLES 11. against the intermission of Parliaments for more than three years is repeated ; but it was not thought necessary to revive the somewhat violent, and perhaps impracticable provisions by which the Act of 1641 had secured their meeting—it being evident that even annual Sessions might now be relied upon as indispen sable to the machine of, Government. This annual assembling of Parliament was rendered necessary, in the first place, by the strict appropriation of the re venue' according to votes of Supply. It was secured, next, by passing the Mutiny Bill, under which the army is held together, and subjected to military disci pline for a short term, seldom or never exceeding twelve months. These are the two effectual securities against military power—that no pay can be issued to the loops without a previous authorization by the Commons in a Committee of Supply, and by both Houses in an Act of Appropriation : and that no officer or soldier can be punished for disobedience, or any Court-martial held, without the annual re-enact ment of the Mutiny Bill. Thus it is strictly true that, if the KING were not to summon Parliament every year, his army would cease to have a legal exis tence ; and the refusal of either House to concur in the Munity Bill, would at once wrest the sword out of his grasp. By the Bill of Rights it is declared un lawful to keep any forces in time of peace, without consent of Parliament. This consent, by an invariable and wholesome usage, is given only from year to year ; and its necessity may be considered, perhaps, the most powerful of those causes which have transferred so much, even of the executive power, into the manage ment of the two Houses of Parliament." Thus the Whigs were no less the authors of the Triennial Bill than of the Septennial Act ; and as it cannot be denied that the latter was called for at the time of its passing, by the dangers which threatened the country, they ate only culpable in having hitherto neglected every opportunity of repealing it. In 1773 the Common Council and Livery of London addressed a circular to the electors throughout the country, calling upon them to vote for no Member who would not pledge himself to support the substitution of Annual or Triennial Parliaments, for Septennial. Buy the rotten Borough system was then in so flourishing a state that the Reformers had no chance of success. The Tories had the power in their own hands, and therefore saw no reason for periling it by the removal of an abuse with which they never failed to tax the Whigs. It is contended that the Septennial Act is more a nominal than a teal grievance ; inasmuch Parliaments, on an average, do not sit longer than four years. This, to a certain extent, is correct ; but a number of gross abuses, even in the exercise of the prerogative, result from the power of Parliament to sit for seven years. Thus, whenever a new Parliament evinces any disposition to check the career of an obstinate Minis ter, his only hope is in a dissolution ; and thus the country is plunged into a whirlpool of political excite ment, and candidates are ruined by accumulated ex penses : whereas, if Parliament were subject to disso lution at the expiration of three years, no such capri cious exercise of the prerogative would be recommended by any Minister. While upon this point we think it right to observe, that a clause ought to be in serted in the Triennial Bill, subjecting all future Ministers to certain heavy responsibilities who u N e v s o t u io ld n advise his MAJESTY to dissolve Parliament , with out better grounds for such a proceeding than a desire to remain in office. In fact, the ci asa d toiss u how far M in i o n v is e t r e y rs in w st e a r n e cjou,sotiuhfigedt to be referred, recommendingin ol the commencement of the next Session, to a Committee of the whole House. The interim between this and the next bringing on of the question in May, ought to be employed by the Re formers in pouring in petitions for the repeal of the Sep tennial Act. The Town Councils, in particular, ought to bestir themselves. W ith Triennial Pa r liaments, puri fied Corporations, and a Reform Bill, we may bid de fiance to despotism in every shape. We copy from the Chronicle of this mornin g , in our " Spirit of the Journals, be given. an article o n t h e at tempt which Russia is now making to d estroy the trade of Western Europe with Wallachia an d Mol davia, to which too much atte ntion cannot h: ven. It will be seen that Russia seek s to effect t his , like every o ther act of aggression and treache r y , by a pr e t ext as hollow as it is malignant --namely, the establishment of quarantine harbours on the Danube. The Paris Journals of Monday, the whole o f which we have just received, do not contain any intelligence of importance. They comment upon the debates in the British Parliament on the civil war in Spain ; but their conjectures are neither new nor interestin g to the great bulk of our readers. The advices from Bayonne are to the 18th, and represent CORDOVA and EGUIA, the former at -the head of 20,000 men, the latter commanding 28 battalions , as en g a g ed in wat ching each other's movements! Of course their arm s w ill be only di rec ted against stragglers and old women, —fit foes for such generals.

At 12 o'clock the Chairman, STANLEY CLARKE, Esq, ac companied by most of the Directors, entered, and informed the Court that it was made Special for the purpose of confirm ing the additions made to the Bye-Laws at the Court held on the 16th of December, by which it was ordered that all pro tests of the Directors against the proceedings of the Board of Controul should be laid before the first Court of Proprietors, held after the conclusion of the business, with which the pro tests were connected—and which also ordered all notices of motions to be advertised, in two or more London Papers, three days before the Court day. The question was put, and the additions were confirmed. The papers which had been presented to Parliament since the last Court were laid on the table. The CHAIRMAN then informed the Court that it was one of the half-yearly ones, held in pursuance of the Charter. As no further business offered he moved that the Court do now ad journ.—The question was put and carried. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY IN THE MATTER OF LADY KIRKWALL, A LUNATIC. This was a petition for the confirmation of the Master's Report, appointing her Ladyship's eldest son, Lord Orkney, committee of the estate ; and the Hon. Captain Fitzmaurice, the younger son of Lady Kirkwall, committee of the person of her Ladyship. The petition also prayed for a special enquiry for the purpose of ascertaining what had become of her Ladyship's income since the period at which her Lady ship was found a lunatic, as the whole of her relations and friends were totally unacquainted with what had become of it. The petition also prayed for an enquiry into certain money transactions, also with reference to certain actions that bad been brought for the recovery of various sums of money, and also with respect to the transactions that had taken place be tween her Ladyship and the solicitor who had conducted the late commission. The LORD CHANCELLOR made the orders as prayed. The MASTER of the ROLLS was occupied the whole morning with unopposed petitions, and his Honour the VICE-CHAN CELLOR with unopposed cause petitions. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CI7'YT TWELVE O'CLOCK. - - - . Our arrivals this morning are the French mails ; and ship letters from China, St. Helena, Bahia, Calcutta, Madras, and from the Cape of Good Hope. Canton papers to the 18th November have been received at the North and South American Coffee House. We perceive, by a note in one of them , that it is intended to celebrate the freedom of the Press in India by an annual feast. The following letter appears from the Hong merchants ; " We respectfully report that on the 15th day of th e 9th moon, (4th November) we received an edict f rom th e Governor, to be transmitted to each foreign merchant, di recting that the ships of the foreign merchants, of every nation, are permitted, by a regulation of the Celestial Dy nasty, to come to the open market of Canton. This permis sion flows only from the Celestial favour, and all foreigners should respectfully obey the restraining laws. They are not allowed to take their ships to the coasts of other provinces, wandering about, disorderly, planning lucky and extraordinary means of gain." (After this follows a long edict.) COMMERCIAL REMARKS. (From the Canton Price Current of Nov. 17.) IMPORTS. COTTON.—Under a very dull market, prices have expe rienced a further decline, more particularly in Bombay staple : and the sales of the week have not exceeded 2,000 bales of every description. Cotton Yarn has suffered a slight decline in price, and few purchases at present. OPIUM.—The arrival of the Water Witch, and the expec tation of other arrivals, with a supply of the drug, has pro duced a complete stagnation in our market, and our quotations are merely nominal, with every prospect of a considerable decline. WOOLLENS.—A few sales have been made, but at reduced rates. The Madras Papers of the 29th November state that the weather was very favourable, and the monsoon had passed off in a less annoying manner than for many years previously. The Governor of Madras had left that Presidency for the Neilgherries for the benefit of his health. Halley's comet was visible at Madras ; the clearness of the atmosphere rendered it a beautiful object. Shumsoodeen, who was one of the parties implicated in the murder at Delhi, has been executed. THE FUNDS. Consols opened this morning at the leaving off prices of yes terday, 91g 1 for the Account, and 914- -8- for Money, with little doing as yet. Exchequer Bills, 20 22 ; India Bonds, 5 7. In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active Bonds are not so good this morning as they left off yesterday, at 461--at pre sent they are 45i 1 ; Passive, 141 15 ; Deferred, 211 ; 22 Portuguese, 701 804 ; Three per Cents., 50/ / ; Columbian 311 32 ; Mexican, 3 5 1; Dutch Two ad a Half per Cents. t• HALF-PAST ONE, (From the Cape of Good Hope Papers of January 16.) Accounts from the New Provinces are satisfactory. We hear that Colonel Smith receives every necessary assistance from the ex-Chiefs, now Magistrates, and others, to bring the perpetrators of crime to punishment, and that the usual reserve of the Caffers, when summoned to his presence, daily wears off. The Pattati speak out freely, and give their opinions as readily as to their own people. This day (the 7th) a great meeting is to be held of all the Amapattati heads of Kruals and Chiefs,for the purpose of ex plaining the mode of procedure in all criminal cases, and va rious other matters closely connected with the interests and welfare of the new subjects. Accounts have been received from Canton, of 22d Nov., stating that a great fire took place within the walls of the city, and that 1,500 houses have been consumed. No damage was done to the English. The Chinese suffered the barbarians (British) to enter the walls to assist in extinguishing the fire. Cmisols have continued during the morning at 91i for for the Account, and for Money, 91i ; Exchequer Bills, 20 22 ; India Bonds, 4 6. In the Foreign Market Spanish Active Bonds continue heavy. Although we have no further, nor so late intelligence from Madrid as received yesterday from that capital, they are 451 ; Passive, 14,1 15 ; Portuguese, 79i 80 ; Three per Cents. 501; Columbian, 31i ; Mexican, 35 ; Dutch Two and a Half per Cents., 56f.

THREE 0' Cl. 0 CR, Lord Brougharn's house, in Berkeley-square, has been got ready for his reception, his Lordship being expected to arrive this week from Brougham Hall. He intends to visit Mr. Coke, and one or two other friends, on his route to town, so that he will avoid the fatigue of a rapid journey from Westmorland. His general health is better, and in his looks he is much improved since his departure from town. At the request of the Duchess of Kent and the Princes s Victoria, the Commissioners of `roods and Forests . have giv en or d ers t o have the green -h ouse Kensington -gar (lens put into repair. This nob le building, which was origina lly erected by George the Seco nd for a banqueting_room, h as b een allowed to f a ll into a dilapidated condition, after having been used as a conservatory for many years. It is now intended to convert it into a ball-room. We have just seen a Portfolio containing a variety of en gravings from designs furnished by many of our most p?' pular artists, among whom we may mention Jenkins, Parris, Chalon, and Miss Sharpe. From a painting b y Jenkins' entitled the " Enraged Antiquary," Dean has made a very clever engraving, which is most efficiently wrought out in all its details. The figure of the Antiquary, who is direct ing his daughter's attention to a variety of articles of v ertu, which have been thrown down and broken by her youngeer sister, whose little head just appears above the wreck , 1 , full of ease and spirit ; but the expression of the old man countenance is not sufficiently characteristic o f spleen and vexation. He takes things too easily, which was by his means the case with the Laird of Monkbarns, when has nephew's dog Ponto occasioned him a similar annoyance, by throwing down his pet 'Egyptian vase. The group in g , however, of the different figures in the picture, w hich ar e fault' numerous, without crowding the canvass, is with out a The " Countess of Blessington" is a half-length portrait by Chalon, but judging from others that we have seen, scarcely does justice to the beauty of the fair original. The" Sls^. ters" is a very lovely groupe by Hayter, engraved 011. - line by Thompson. The " Secret Discovered," by Mi ss Sharpe, is clever, but somewhat deficient in expression. The young lady, who is detected with her lover' s p ortrait in her possession, and the old one who has detected her, wea r too much an aspect of cold indifference. On the whole, this collection of engravings is an interesting one. STUDIES OF READS. These studies, which are every way suited to the eaPt v city of a young beginner, are from the pencil of Miss Louis a Corbaux. One or two of the heads are remarkable fo r bold expression, and all are correc t in drawing. The series, which we suppose will be continued, is published by Tilt, of Fleet-stret. KING'S THEATRE. Bellini's opera of Beatrice di Tenda was produced la!t night on these boards. It is, in manner and matter , rather ha r11il,: tative of Anna Bolena, and in every respect an inferior lico,an Beatrice is the consort of Fillippo Visconti, Duke of Mil ran t lo whom she had elevated to the ducal throne. He is a ty_f towards his subjects, and at once unfaithful to and jeaus his wife and benefactress. The melancholy into whi ch his nn his kindness, and the complaints of her people, throw her, ja,.; l ° ~,-, eyes the proof of a guilty passion for a Venetian Noble--vr,ie bello.—The plot is a most intricate web. Orombello loves tl • Duchess—Agnes del Maino loves Orombello, and Nessnttis loves Agnes del Maino. Agnes, finding that the D u ich her rival, foments secretly the suspicions of the Duke, w h en . are confirmed by the surprisal of Orombello and Bea trice gaged in a moonlight tete d tete, which had occurred throug; the former's intruding rashly on his mistress. T he c°llbser quence is, the trial and judgment of Beatrice, as well as e , supposed paramour.

He cannot lo tragic, or move tragically. Mrs. Seguin was vespectable.thi, the part of Agnes. The opera went off, we need not sat, ry l out exciting any very warm feeling in its auditory, either ova i ls way or the other. Her Majesty, with Prince Philippsthal ar other Illustrious foreigners, honoured the theatre with her is sence. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent was also her box, having with her the young Prince of Portugal. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, MARCH 22.—Wind W.
