The robbery was- effected by three men, who were hanging about the house for some time, and of whom he had received a quantity of silver, for which he returned gold, and having occasion to go to the cellar a short time afterwards the robbery was effected.

Morning .. 23 minutes after 2 1 Evening •• 41 minutes after 2. single commissioner, if well chosen, would supply all that is wanted as regards trade, and at the same time throw valuable light upon the natnral history and state of society in the whole region ; although it might be well that, in the first place, his attention should be more especially directed to the principal ports in Sumatra, Borneo, Celebes, and the Soloo Archipelago. Now we have no doubt that the necessity of an intermediate station for her trade with China will be at least as sensibly felt by France as her want of such a station for her Levant trade. Will she be less indifferent to national rights in supplying this deficiency in the one case, than she showed herself to be in the other ? If the credulity of English statesmanship be still as plastic as it was in 1830, and again in 1834, French duplicity may play over again, with equal success, the game in which it so completely finessed the Ca binet of St. James's—touching, first, the conquest ; and, secondly, the permanent occupation of Algiers. On both occasions our Foreign Minister was wilfully or preposterously blind to intentions that were univer sally seen through by the common sense of the Eng lish people. When the expedition of General (no iv Marshal) BOURMONT, in 1830, to demand satisfaction for so.ne insults to the French flag, terminated in the deposition of the DEY, and the overthrow and extinc- tion of that Turco-African Government, it was apparent to Englishmen in every part of the king dom—except the little precinct of Downing-street— that a permanent establishment in the Mediterra nean was the real object of this French aggression. A degree of natural uneasiness and distrust was created in the public mind, and especially among the commercial community. Remonstrances were ad dressed to the Government, and in Parliament on several occasions the attention of Ministers was directed to the suspicious character of the transaction. Four years rolled on, in the course of which our Foreign department perpetually assuring all inquirers " that there was no design on the part of the French to retain the Algerine territory," was being utterly bamboozled by that shameless duplicity to which a French Minister unscrupulously resorts, whenever there is a coup d'etat to be effected, the results of which are likely to be of magnitude sufficient to warrant to Frenchmen the experiment. At the end of May, 1834, the declaration of the French Mi nistry (in the teeth of the solemn assurance w hich had just before been given to ours, in the name of the KING, to the contrary) confirmed the apprehensions of the British public and the infatuation of the British Ministry. The French Government coolly " pro nounced" for permanent occupation, and it was found that the moment for preventive negotiation was passed. That the French have since bungled and mismanaged their conquest is only in the usual course of their inaptness at colonial organisation ; but it might have been imagined that such a lesson of poli tical perfidy would not have been soon forgotten.. To judge, however, by the little sensation hitherto excited by the announced design they have of occupying the Soloo Islands, we are afraid that we shall be little better prepared to counteract this movement on the Indian ocaan, than we unfortunately were to neutral ize their movement in the Levant. Our readers, who will, perhaps, from the considera tions above premised, concur with us in our estimate of the positive value of Manilla, and its enormously enhanced value in relation to the Soloo Islands, will participate also in the apprehension with which we regard the possible result of their occupation of the Soloo territory, in an exchange with the Spanish Government, under some pretext or other, for Manilla. That would be, indeed, a change of pro prietorship by no means to be desired. But when we recollect the paramount, absolute; and all-efficien influence of the French Cabinet on the Court and Councils of Spain, we must not close our eyes to that contingency even. And who shall say that other and higher considerations would deter the French Cabinet from seizing so advantageous an opportunity of Oriental aggrandisement, should it once present itself? Let us hope the Soloo question will not quite escape the present notice of her MAJESTY'S Government. Mr. HOME has given notice that on Friday next he will move a call of the House. The attendance of Mem bers in Committees, independent of other Parliamentary duties, has become so fatiguing, owing to the vast number of railways and private Bills, that a more equal division of labour is found absolutely necessary, and a very general feeling was expressed on ➢londay of the hardship that certain representatives should be com pelled to do all the drudgery of Parliament, while not fewer than one hundred Members were absent without leave, and enjoying rustic felicity during the most busy period of the session. Lord CASTLEREAGH, concurring with others in such sentiments, asked whether the House was prepared to order the Sergeant-at-Arms to be sent over to Ireland, to bring in custody those Honourable Members who had not attended Parliament this session ; and the reply was, on the part of Lord G. SOMERSET, that he should be prepared, in the case of every Member, whether connected with England, Ireland, or Scotland, who did not attend when summoned, to move that he be committed to the custody of the Sergeant•at-Arms. This question will, therefore, be brought to an issue, and it will be curious to see what influence the order will have on the Irish absentees. Probably some of them will set the resolution at defiance. In Ireland it is no uncommon occurrence for an officer with a judge's warrant, or other warrants equally peremp tory, to be kept at bay. for weeks, and finally compelled to retire with defeat. Will the Speaker's warrant in this instance be treated with more respect ? Mr. O'CONNELL and a great portion of his tail have wilfully absented themselves from the House of Commons; they regard the Legislature as totally useless for Irish purposes, and it is extremely probable that they will carry out perhaps a preconcerted plan, and avoid the warrant. But, besides, it will re quire a small army of officers to capture the recreant Members—some will escape to the fastnesses of the west or south, others will hide themselves in Dublin ; and supposing that each Member is endued with the obstinate spirit and resolution of Ceaus WiLsoN, ten officers far each fugitive would be barely sufficient. Some twenty or thirty representatives have deserted their post, so that a force of at least two hundred men would be required to carry on this game of Member hunting, even supposing the peasantry to remain neutral. Still-hunting was nothing to this. But to look at the subject in a serious light, the public cannot fail to view Mr. O'CosNELL'a conduct in a very unfavourable light. Certain parties, it is true, have exhibited an uncharitable spirit in reference to the Maynooth grant, but that is no fault of the House of Commons or the Government. Never did Members perform their duty so nobly towards Ireland as the ma jority on that question, including Whigs, Tories, and Radical Reformers, all of whom have sacrificed great interests for the sake of principle and rendering justice to Ireland. The least that Mr. O'CoNsELL can do is to assist them in this noble purpose. Does he wish to strengthen a conviction entertained by some of his political enemies, and refuse to lend his powerful aid in forwarding mea • sures which may render agitation unnecessary ? The first and most natural emotion excited by an overwhelming calamity like that which has just occurred at Yarmouth, through the fall of an iron suspension• bridge, is naturally one of profound regret fur so vast a number of our fellow-creatures and countrymen, sud denly, and in a moment, as it were, of unheeding fes tivity, swept off the stage of human existence! The next impress-sun produced by so awful a catastrophe as this sacrifice of more than 100 lives, in little more than as many seconds, is one of profound sympathy for the be reaved survivors of these ill-fated victims, who, in the relations of wives, sons, daughters, husbands, have lost their natural friends or protoctors, their guar dians or parents. The considerations, however, which connect themselves with so frightful and extensive a dis aster, are too solemn for a more enlarged discussion in this place. We turn, therefore, from the irretrievable destruction of life to the precautions which the demands of future security so imperatively require to be adopted in testing the stability of all public works, structures, and edifices, upon or about which masses of the people are l'kely at any time to be congregated. It would be strange, indeed, were this horrible causualty to be allowed to pass out of the public remembrance without furnishing a salutary as well as memorable lesson, in the first place, to those who undertake such constructions; in the second to the au thority and principals, municipal or other, by whom they are employed. Is it possible to give more force and point however to such a lesson than are communicated by some of the incidents connected with this deplor a bl e acc id ent ? We do not happen to be aware of o t r he w d e i i m gh e t ns o io f n t s he o c f ha th i n is s, suspension- d br in id g g - e, ,o: the size or the link s , the total length of the bridge, the dis tance between the extreme points of suspension, or the aggregate weight of metal employed. But it would seem, that at the moment preceding its breaking through or down—that is when the greatest number of spectators was upon it—there were not above four hundred persons assembled, and of these a large proportion were probably youths and children. Sup pose there had been five hundred adults of the average weight of twelve stone each ; their united pressure on the bridge would have been but thirty-seven tons. It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the material, the design, or the construction of this bridge, must have been faulty to a most extraordinary extent. We should be extremely sorry to prejudge the cause of a misfortune which must so soon become the subject of legal inquiry. The matter is still open, no doubt, to the proof, for aught we know to the contrary, that it was the result a una voidable causes not within the control, nor, necessarily. within the cognisance or calculations of the areliii(ct, the engineer, or the contractor, or of the surv, yor, er Committee who may have approved and reported upon both the design and execution of the bridge. 13ut let us take the fact to be so; and even on that most favourable assumption how powerful a case is made out for the esta blishment of some responsible jurisdiction—some Na tional Commission of scientific and practical men, who shall be invested with the important trust of minutely examining and severely testing every work of this kind before the proprietary or di rection shall be at liberty to open it to the public. It is really remarkable that but a few weeks have elapsed since the fatal falling in of part of a railway bridge at Ashton ; and, if we remember rightly, within a very brief period indeed, this same town of Yarmouth has been signalised by two other fatal accidents. In the first, the centering of an archway being struck too soon, the super incumbent masonry gave way, the master-builder nar rowly escaping with his life, his foreman being killed on the spot ; in the second, under circumstances not very dissimilar, the same master-builder being himself killed on the spot, tt,gether with one of his labourers. Surely, had the works in question been previously inspected by duly qualified persons, having no further interest in the matter but to make such report as should be consistent with their own reputation, veracity, and standing, pre fes:ional or official, there is every human probability that these sad con sequences would not have ensued. If for a moment we picture a case nearer home, we are absolutely ap palled at the bare imagination of what might have hap pened on Thursday last, when Hungerford Suspension bridge was first thrown open. In the course of the day its total length of fourteen hundred feet was crossed by at least twenty-five thousand people. But on its ex treme centre breadth of six hundred feet from tower to tower, there were collected, at one period, not less than one thousand people. What would have been the effect of bad construction, defective material, or untested de sign, in that instance ? Averse as we are, on general principles, to the inter vention of the Government on suspension-bridges or railroads, the first duty of that Government, it must be allowed, is to provide for the personal safety of the QUEEN'S subjects ; and if the Commission we speak of were to be composed, one-half of private, the other of Government engineers—the latter to be remunerated by the Minister, the former by the county or the district—the main objection to its constitu tion would be removed. And, indeed, up to this extent, we should as much advocate the interference of Government as we should deprecate such interference beyond it. But the Government itself, as in its whole legislation on money and on railroads, is always prone to commit the error of exceeding the mark, which they would do so beneficially for the public to pause at. And, with all respect for the Premier, we cannot help saj ing that if, instead of indulging his morbid horror of private " speculation," which is the soul of all mereln tile enterprise and greatness, he would limit his legisla tion to avoid positive, tangible evil to the public, h, would make the just d4tinction he has so tnischievou* missed in the two cases we refer to, of leaving pivot! capital to pursue its own evolutions, so long as these do not infringe on the public convenience or welfare. Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have been received, but we find no news in them of the slightest interest. On that day the Three per Cents. closed at 35i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 26 1-16 ; and the Debt without interest at 84 for cash, and 9f at 60 days. The French Chamber of Deputies on Saturday brought the discussion on the Jesuit question to a con clusion, by adopting the following. resolution proposed by M. TRIERS :—" The Chamber, relying on the Go vernment for the execution of the laws of the Stat", passes to the order of the day." The result appeared to give great satisfaction, not only to the Ministry, but the great majority of the Chamber, for in a House con sisting of four hundred, not more than forty Members opposed it—these consisting chiefly ef Legitimatists and Members of the extreme Left. After M. BERRYER had finished his speech in the early part of the day, the Attorney-General, M. IlEneeT, followed, and took nearly the same view of the case as M. TRIERS, but de nounced the Jesuits in still stronger terms. The exist ence France, as an unlicensed con gregation, oftl he said, uas an evil, and contrary to the law. The Jesuits he regarded as the most con the lib er ti es o f F rance . : taut enemies of the two dangerousthe an ee d u m re o e s e t " The laws against them," co nc l u d e d the speaker, " exist and are efficacious ; wisdom, revolutions, perhaps, counsels that they be allowed to sleep for I time, for peace is better than war, and persuasion better than force ; but if peace be no longer possible, and persuasion fruitless, the laws, I repeat, exist, and ought to be executed.' M. DE LAMARTINE spoke next but amidst constant interrup tions. His eloquence was all thrown away, for no one would listen to arguments for the separation of Church and State, and in favour of the Jesuits. The Marquis DE Li ROCHEJAQUELIN had ne better success, and the feeling in the Chamber left no doubt whatever that unless the Government , put down these intriguing reli gious politicians, the representatives of the people will do it for them. M. Tin Flus, on finding that his motion met with the approbation of the Government, again brifly addressed the Chamber in these words After the declaration of M. Martin (du Nord), I think we have come pretty nearly to an understanding. I shall state my opinion. There are laws of the State incontestible, uncontested— uncontested, at least, by the Government, by me, or by a great portion of the Members of this Chamber. In consequence of cir cumstances these laws remained unexecuted. The circumsttances have changed, and it has become urgent that the laws should be applied. Nevertheless, the Government charged with their exert'. tion ought to have the latitude which is necessary for that purpose. It has had recourse to the spiritual authority. I approve of that proceeding, but upon one condition. It is this, that whatever may be the result of the negotiations with that authority (an authority which I respeet, but to which I would not submit the laws of my country), the laws shall be put in execution. On this condition the Minister of Public Worship and myself agree in opinion. This is au admission that the laws exist, and that the application of them is necessary, and it is well understood that should the negotiations with the spiritual authority be unsuccessful, that application of the laws will take place." On Monday the Chamber was to take into considera• tion the Bill for arming the fortifications of Paris. Three amendments had been announced, and it ii.s generally believed that one of them, which is to the following effect, would be adopted :—" Paris shall not be placed in a state of defence but in virtue of a law, and the arming of the fortifications shall not take place until after war shall have been de clared." The papers announce that on the cele bration of the KING'S fete at Lyons a deplorable accident happened on one of the bridges. The crowd, eager to see the fireworks, had rushed forward in a mass to obtain good places, when eight persons were trampled to death. No business was done_at Paris in the public funds on Sunday.

R ACE or M AN V . floasE.—On Monday a considerable number of th e spor ting fraternity mot at the Three Cats public-house, at Acton-bottom, to witness the singular and novel match perf orme d, wh i ch was f o r Mountjoy (the well.known London pedestrian) to contend against Mr. Co unsellor ' s hors e. The terms of the contest w ere t h a t Mountjoy should hop on one leg 75 yards, and the horse to g a ll o p 150 ya rds, the first in to be the winner. The stakes were 101. aside. In the betting department there was a good deal of speculation. The necessary preliminaries being arranged, the competitors came to the starting scratch, and Mountjoy, taking his position in advance of the horse, leaving 75 yards to the winning post, the signal was given, and away they went, Mountjoy hopping with great dexterity, and the horse was quickly in a gallop. The biped having stole a march upon his quadruped opponent, all efforts of the jockey were unsuccessful, and Mountjoy came in the winner. FATAL ACCIDENT BY MACIIINERY.—MANCHES TER, SATURDAY.— Monday a moat melancholy and fatal accident occurred at Messrs. Y a t es ' m i ll, common ly called the Bee Hive Mill, Jersey-street, in thi s t own. It a ppears that on the morning of yesterday, a female, about 23 years o f age, named Elizabeth Elliot, went into the mill in s earc h of emp l o yment, which she had beets promised. On entering the room in which she was to have been employed, her clothes w ere caught b y a n upright shaft going at the time at the rate of 100 revolut i ons a minute. She was instantly "lapped" round the shaft, and several min utes elapsed before the engine could be stopped to extricate her. The shaft is situate within a few inches of th e wall, so t hat with each revolution she was da-hed against the w a ll . She wa s dreadfully mutilated and quite dead when taken down, In the evening an inquest was held before Mr. Chapman and a respectable jury, when a verdict of ' Accidental death" was returned.

Lord STANLEY took the opportunity of the presen tation of a petition by the Earl of Devon, on the subject of the Land Commissioners (Ireland) Report, to assure the House that the recommendations of the commissioners were under the attentive consideration of the Govern ment; and that a Bill on the subject of giving compensa tion to the tenant fur any improvement he might have made on the land, was in a state of forwardness, and would be laid on the table shortly after the recess. Lord BROUGHAM gave notice that he should move that a certain Railway Bill which had passed the House of Commons, notwithstanding 300 breaches of the Standing Orders, should be referred to the Standing Orders Committee when it came before their Lordships. A short conversation ensued, which led to no result ; after which the Noble Lord presented a petition from the inhabitants of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, complaining of the conduct of Mr. Michael Gibbs, and praying for a re vision of thqlawsregulating vestries. The Auction Duties Bill, the Sugar Excise Duties Bill, and the Colonial Passengers Bill were respectively read a third time. The Privy Council Appellate Jurisdiction Bill passed through Committee, and the House adjourned. The House of Commons did not sit. For some weeks past the French journals, and more especially those which usually affect to be well in - formed upon the intentions of the French Govern ment, have been putting out those minute but signi ficant paragraphs which may be called the "antenna" of journalism—the feelers of that policy of which they are the organs—and these feelers point to the intended occupation of a part or the whole of the group of the Soloo islands, at one extremity of the Great Indian Archipelago. Our attention was arrested by the first " protrusion" of these feelers, and we thought it would not be long ere the action was repeated. In another ten days, cur expectation was realised. The object had now assumed a more definite form. Whether because no notice had been taken of the former demonstration by the English journals, or in the English Parliament, we cannot say, but the ob ject was more boldly defined to be the "seizure" of the Soloo islands. And last week we encountered some speculations in the same journals as to the par ties to whom this expedition and the direction of its proceedings would probably be confided. There can be little doubt that, in due time, on some one of those fine mornings—nothing daunted by the failure of their hope in grasping the Marquesas by a coup-de main, and establishing themselves in Otaheite under false pretences—we shall hear of our neighbours having domiciled themselves on some island of the Soloo cluster (not on the whole, as some of our Parisian brethren surmise, with more of territorial appetite than geographical ac curacy.) But the importance of a position there, coupled with the anxiety and vigilance they have shown to avail themselves of the opportunity afforded by our successes in China to establish com mercial relations with that empire, they have not, as in the cases of the Marquesas and Otaheite, exaggerated. It is much to be dreaded that the importance of their intention is grievously underrated by this country, or rather by that miserably incompetent branch of the Government which so ruinously administers its Colonial possessions. On former occasions we have devoted some articles to show with what suicidal folly a Tory Government—after we had conquered Java, and in a brief posses. sion of three years, given freedom to its people, their industry, and its vast commerce, so that in re venue, as well as in natural products, it had become, under our rule, the richest of all the eastern islands— we restored, without compensation or guarantee of any kind, Java to the Dutch. We have shown how scandalously the Dutch have since, and, to this day, evaded, and violated, the terms of the treaty of 1824, after we had, with almost equal childishness, agreed to their own construction of those terms. At least, let us profit by the example we have had of Dutch cupidity, and, since there seems no likelihood of our regaining Java, negotiate, immediately, with the Go vernment of Holland, who have interests in that distant region, and the native princes who exercise hereditary dominion there, for a position in the Soloo groupe also. This is a better, and every way more respectable a course than seizing clandestinely, and backed by an overwhelming force, on the lands of defenceless savages. The geographical and commercial import ance of the Soloo islands, always very great, has become infinitely enhanced by the extension of our mercantile establishments, and our intercourse with China. Two years ago, a ♦ery able writer in the Indian News, in a paper admirable for its various and valuable statistics of the Indian Archipelago, wrote thus prophetically :—" But the supineness of Great Britain, with regard to the splendid Indian Archipe lago, is quite inexplicable. Even Singapore we owe not to the Government, but to an individual, for it was with great reluctance that Sir STAbi• FORD RAFFLES was permitted to create this valuable entrepot; and at the present mo ment, when Manilla, from its propinquity to China, promises —or rather, threatens —to be- come one of the most important settlements in the Eastern Seas, we have not even a Consul there, to look after our trade, and report to Government at home !" Have we any Consul there now We doubt it; though this question was suggested so far back as April, 1843. We recollect that, at the close of the last session, when Mr. GLansToxE's notable scheme for admitting Manilla sugar under discrimi nating duties, to evade its free-labour production, was being forced through the House of Commons in spite of its often predicted (and its now often proved) futility, the Premier attempted to conciliate objectors by the announcement of some magnificent plan for sending out sala ried agents to Manilla, among other foreign sta tions, qualified to test and report upon the qualities of the sugars to be admitted into our home market. We nfer, though we cannot speak positively, at this moment, that we have no Consular agent at Manilla. " Our Gallic neighbours " (continues this writer in the same spirit of prescience) "are more on the alert, although with not a tithe of the cause ; and we learn from a private source that the French Consul is a per son of great talent and shrewdness. As for the Ameri cans they never sleep. Without a foot of land in the Archipelago, and without manufactures for barter, they are yet the busiest traders in these seas. An ac credited agent of Congress is perpetually roaming among the islands, and a Yankee frigate is never far distant where their flag requires protection." Three words suffice to explain the facility and impunity with which the Americans can thus break through the Dutch prohibitory system, when we do not. They are not hampered by the blunders of Lord CASTLEREAGII'S restitution-folly of 1814, nor the disgraceful and self-imposed disabilities of the treaty of 1824. But we recur to the conclusion of the paper we have quoted for au incidental notice of the Soloo Islands that is calculated to give a casual, but striking notion of the admirable position of those islands, and the relations of that of Manilla to them. " Let a British Consul," he says, " be established at Manilla to watch the progress of events which, under the new relations of China with Europe, may, at no distant day, render that settlement the most important entrepot on the Eastern seas, and finally let the Government take steps to acquire a knowledge of the extent and present state of the general trade of these valuable islands, the duties chargeable at the several parts, and the impediments which exist in the way of British commerce."—(How much, may we parenthetically inquire, of this sort of information is really in possession of the Foreign or Colonial office, or the Board of Control, at this moment ?)—" A SUMMARY OF NEWS AND publtt Optuton. " Who runs may read." POILEIGIV. The French Court, it is understood, will leave the Tuileries next week for Neuilly, where they will reside for the season. The Commerce says, M. Guiz.,t's duties of office arc distributed among three substitutes, General holds levees, M. De Barante does the laborious work, and M. Duchatel signs documents. The Overland Mail brings news from Bombay to the lst of April, China to the 7th of February, Calcutta to the 21st, and Madras to the 29d of March. The expediticn commanded by Sir Charles Napier, against the refractory tribes on the borders of Sinde, has been completely suc. Gessful. The confusion in the Punjaub is greater than ever, and the Bri. fish troops, which have assembled in large numbers in the nergh bourhood of Ferozepore, will probAly be invited to interfere to re store order and drive back Akbar Khan, who threatens Peshawur. The Grand Council of Berne, on the 28th ult., voted an indemnity of 105,000 francs to be paid to Lucerne for the Bernese prisoners, who are still in the power of that canton. The Grand Council of Argovia had also voted not only in favour of an indemnity of 300,000 francs to Lucerne for their 600 prisoners, but an amnesty for all political offences committed by the Catholic party in Argovia in 1841, on account of which many persons were still under punish. ment or in banishment. ;..• - ,...-1 , ..-:, , ,: - ..:‘,1 , •;,-., - i.

At Guildhall John Glover was re-examined before Aldermen Humphery, Kelly, and Johnson, upon an information exhibited by the Solicitor of the Customs for assisting and being concerned in carrying and conveying thirty-five pounds of tobacco, unshipped from a vessel, customs and other duties not being first paid, whereby he had forfeited 1001. After a lengthened investigation the Aldermen inflicted a fine of 1001. At Lambeth, Edward Armstrong, a mechanic, was charged with deserting his wife and three children, and leaving them chargeable to Lambeth parish. He was committed to prison for fourteen days' hard labour. William Ferguson, who has been before committed from queen. square for annoying the Hon. R. Fitzgibbon, was charged with repeating the offence. Mr. Bond said that there was not the slightest excuse for defendant's conduct, in continually annoying Colonel Fitzgibbon In this way. He must call upon defendant to enter into his own recognisances of 201., and one respectable per son its 101., to keep the peace towards complainant for the next three months.—Defendant was then locked up. COURT—PASHIODLELEME. The Archbishop of Dublin and family have left town for a short sojourn at Tunbridge Wells. The Earl of Harrowby continues in rather a feeble state of health. The Nob.e Earl was well enough on Monday to take a carriage airing. Lady Augusta Fitzelarence and Miss Frederica Fitzclarence have left the Burlington Hotel, and taken possession of their new residence in Arlington-street. Earl and Countess Amherst are passing the season at Knowle. park, near Sevenoaks. Viscount and Viscountess Holmesdaie and family are expected at the Noble Earl's mansion, in Grosvenor. street, in the course of the ensuing week, from Montreal, Kent. The Earl of Glasgow has left town for the north. Lieut. Howard Featherstonhaugh, Aide de. Camp to his Excel. lency Lord Heytesbury, has, arrived at the Army and Navy Club St. James's-square, from Dublin. The Earl of Clancaity has left town for his seat, Garbally-park, near Ballinasloe. Viscount St. Vincent has arrived at the Clarendon Hotel, from his seat in Staffordshire. Sir George Warrender has taken a mansion in Upper Berkeley street, for the season. The Earl of Cardigan's new purchase, the Reindeer yacht, is fitting out at Lymington for summer cruising. IVIISCEZZANLO OS. A deputation from the operative jewellers of Birmingham has arrived in town for the purpose of presenting to her Majesty and Prince Albert some unique and elegant specimens of cunning craftsmanship in that department of mechanical art. The articles intended for the Queen consist of an armlet, a brooch, a pair of ear.drops, and a cestus buckle ; those for Prince Albert consist of a watch-chain, seal, and key. These peel less bfjous are of great value, not so much in respect to the gold and gems of which they are composed as for the artistic skill that produced them. These rare specimens of British ingenuity will be accompanied by respectful and loyal addresses, setting forth the grounds upon which they are respectfully offered. The artists pray that her Ma jesty may graciously be pleased to accept and wear these humble offerings, as the example thus set by the Sovereign may promote the revival of this branch of native industry, now in a depressed condition ; while it is hoped that the patronage bestowed upon the fine arts by the Prince Consort may be extended to that higher branch of mechanical att. In the execution of these elegant or. naments, 22 different trades were employed. Shortly after midnight on Wednesday last a fire was dis covered raging in the house of Mr. Payne, a baker in Faversham, and in an adjoining house occupied by a person named Sims. On an alarm being given, the occupants of both houses were speedily got out, but a servant girl of Mr. Payne, it appears, had returned to the house for something to c-ver her, and was suffocated by the smoke. The body was found in the morning but slightly burned. Upon inquiries bring made by the agent for the insurance companies, and other official persons, Sims, the occupant of the house adjoining that of Mr. Payne, was taken into custody on a charge of setting fire to the premises. A coroner's inquest was held yesterday on the body of the servant girl, and was adj3urned fur further evidence. The grand dress morning performance, which is announced to take place on the 19th inst., in favour of the distressed needle. women, is likely to be attended with complete success. Amongst the patronesses are their Graces the Duchesses of Norfolk, Su therland, and Bedford; as also the Marchioness of Abercorn, the Countesses of Sefton and Kenmare, and the Ladies Aylmer, §tpley, Campbell, &c. The following is the answer of Mr. Macaulay to another remon. strance from some of his constituents against his vote on the May. nooth Bill :—" I have no apologies or retractations to make. I have done what I believed, and believe, to be right. I have op. posed tryself manfully to a great popular delusion. I shall continue to do so. I knew from the first what the penalty was; and I shall cheerfully pay it." On Monday the sale of the fifth portion of the library of the late Duke of Sussex, after lasting twelve days, was concluded at Messrs. Evans' rooms in Pall-mall. The number of lots disposed of was 2,956. The sum they realised amounted to near 2,5001. The sixth and concluding portion of the sale will shortly take place. The General Steam Navigation Company's favourite maii.packet Princess Royal, Captain Gibbs, which arrived in the river on Mon. day from Hamburgh, accomplished the passage in a little above fifty hours, against a head wind and heavy sea. WEST IN DIES. SOUTHAMPOW, MAY 5. The Clyde, Captain Symonds, arrived at half-past nine, P.

On Freight-466,635 dollars, 1761. British coin, 150 oz. gold dust, 691 os. of silver, 93 scrons of cochineal, 13 serons of jalap, 300 os. of plata brueta. She also brings 72 passengers and 13 invalids, amongst whom are—His Excellency P. P. de Oliver, from Vera Cruz, Spanish Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Mexico ; the Hon. Mr. Dolan, Speaker of the House of Assembly at St. Vincent; the Hon. Mr. Claxton, Attorney-General at St. Kitt's. The Ex-President General Santa Anna was still imprisoned in the fortress of San Carlos de Perote. Two of the ministers of the Supreme Court of Justice had been down there to take his deposi tion, and had returned to Mexico after executing their commis sion. The general opinion in the city was that he would be con demned to death, but that the sentence would not be carried into effect, and in lieu of it he would be banished the country for ever. All his property had been sequestrated by the Government, and will probably be confiscated, with the exception of the estate Mango de Clavo, near Vera Cruz, which was bought with the dowry of his former wife, and belongs to his children. It is believed that the present Government cannot hold out long, and that the old federal party will get into power. Gower Farias, formerly President, and who had been banished for some years, has returned to the country, and may probably be elevated to the Presidency. MONEY and t;OMMLRCIAL NEWS.

The advices by the West India Mail are of a satisfactory character, and there is a generally promising statement as to the weather and the crops in Jamaica and the other leading islands. The labouring classes were conducting themselves with propriety, and affording indubitable evi dence of the superiority of the inducement to freedom over the coercion of slavery, by working steadily and continuously. It is true there are instances of occasional ebullition of feeling among them ; but are such confined to coloured populations only? The supplies of sugar from several of the islands will be large, and the shipments were much forwarder than usual. In fact, the large quantity already received in the port of London will attest this. Matters in Hayti are evidently in a satisfactory position, and there appears to have been some apprehension of a re newed outbreak. The letters by the Overland mail not being yet delivered, we are only enabled to state that the published accounts are considered to be satisfactory.

The robbery was effected by three men who were hanging about the house for some time, and of whom he received a quantity of silver, for which he returned gold, and having occasion to go to the cellar a short time afterwards, the robbery was effected. He unfortunately exhibited hi; cash-box at the time of givit g change, which the thieves took note of, and having left it in the bar parlour in his absence, secured it, and got safe off. In the course of yesterday Mr. Turner received pare of the contents of the cash-box by the post (which ap pears to have been posted at Kiiiplandl, containing va rious receipts, vouchers, &c., and a cheque on Nlessrs. Junes, Lloyd, and Co., which, by the-bye, the thieves were too careful to present. From the manner in which the robbery was effected there is no doubt it had been planned for some time past. The police, however, an on the alert, and as they are known, and can be easily identified, every exertion will be made to bring them to justice. ROBBERY AT THE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION,— Monday information was received at the dieerent police stations that a small phrenological ivory head, the teeth of which were set in gold; a small ivory bust, on a pillar, of her Majesty, with a thermometer, and a set of Ashe's mineral teeth, set in gold, were stolen, on the Ist inst., from the west balcony room of the Royal Polytechnic Institution, the property of the Directors. Suspicion is attached to a man and a woman, who carried a child in her arms, and who left the establishment in a cab. The man was described about thirty.five years of age, nearly six feet high, his mouth being a little distorted, and dressed in a shabby black frock coat and trousers ; and the female rather stout, and also shabb:ly dressed.

Yesterday forenoon considerable excitement prevailed on the centre of Waterloo.bridg in consequence of a man, named Edward Armstrong, of Eaton-street, New-cut, making a most desperate attempt to commit suicide. It appears that he had absconded from his home for some time, leaving his wife and family chargeable to the parish of Lambeth. Information was forwarded on Saturday to the parochial officers at the workhouse, who directed Dunn, the officer, to proceed to Drury-lane, where he was residing. Dunn suCceeded in taking him into custody, and when on the middle of Waterloo-bridge, he ran into one of the recesses on the western side, and attempted to leap over the balustrades ; but before he could get over, Dunn seized his le. s, and with assistance dragged him back again. He was removed to the workhouse, and, -SilthisitltltlY to the Lambeth rolice : court, is henningto44ll.o COURT e ECCITI. P.
