NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. The THIRD EDITION of THE SUN of LAST (Monday) EVENING contained — A Report of the Proceedings before the Railway Committees of the Houses of Commons. The Betting at Tattersall's up to Six o'Clock. Parliamentary Intelligence, containing a full Report of the Proceedings of both Houses up to a Quarter before Seven o'clock. THIRD EDITION OF « THE SUN.' We have received many complaints from Sub scribers who are frequently disappointed in not re ceiving the Third Edition. The fault rests entirely with the news agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is still further aggra vated by an extra charge:of a halfpenny (the post office fee) being made for not supplying the latest or Third Edition. This Edition contains the latest news : Parliamentary Debates up to a quarter to Seven— The Gazettes on Tuesday and Friday—together with the Prices Current of all the markets, as well as official prices of Shares in Railways, &c., &c.—The Betting at Tattersall's on Monday and Thursday— The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds—The Pro ceedings in Railway Committees up to the close— and all other news arriving in London, after three o'clock in the afternoon, when the Second or Evening Edition goes to press. In distant parts of the country the Third Edition contains news twelve hours in advance, a matter of importance to those who want early intelligence. In those places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night, the " MORNING Sun," con taining all the debates, &c., &c , will answer best, and subscribers can suit themselves accordingly. Respectable agents will always supply the proper paper ; but where any wilful neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to The Sun office, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their representations.

Ina/Win Aitit. LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1845. The House of Lords sat at Five o'clock. Among the petitions presented were several from different parts of Scotland, deprecating any alteration in the Scottish system of currency. After a short conversation on the present method of rating property to local assessments. Lord CAMPBELL laid a Bill on the table for abolish ing deodands. The Noble Lord entered into a long and learned explanation of the present state of the law on this subject, which he characterised as foolish and absurd, and a clog upon the administration of justice. The LORD CHANCELLOR did not oppose the intro duction of the Bill, but as it concerned the revenues of the Crown, the consent of the Crown would be necessary to be obtained before passing the measure; and as it was a Bill which referred to money, he doubted whether it ought not to be introduced first into the other House of Parliament. Lord CAstrnELL replied, and the Bill was laid on ;he table. The Earl of DALHOUSIE laid on the table the re port of the Railway Committee of the Board of Trade, with respect to the Manchester and Leeds and other railways, which gave rise to a short conversation on the subject of the manner in which the Committee performed their functions. After which their Lord ships adjourned. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. Several Railway Bills were introduced, and various petitions presented. The Committee on the Dartmouth Election Petition was fixed for the 3d of March. Among the notices of motion was one by Mr. J. BARCLAY, for the allowance to all manufacturers of glass of a drawback for the stock on hand. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, in answer to Mr. WODEHOUSE, s' ated that it was not the intention of the Government to make any difference as far as the sugar duties were concerned, between persons who bonded sugar in warehouses, and those who, in consequence of not having the facilities of bonding were obliged to keep large stocks on hand. The Right Hon. Gentleman stated in a subsequent part of the evening, that he would say on Wednesday what course he intended to take as to fixing a day when the alterations were to be carried into effect. On the order of the day for the House going into a Committee of Ways and Means on the subject of the sugar duties, Mr. MILNER GIBSON moved, as an amendment, the following resolution :—" That no arrangement of the sugar duties will be satisfactory and per manent which does not involve an equalisation of duty on foreign and colonial sugar." He quoted the resolution of Lord SANDON in 1843, as a precedent for proposing an abstract resolution on this subject, and then proceeded to show the impolicy and injustice of imposing taxation on the community, not for the benefit of the Ex chequer, but for that of certain favoured individuals, and denied that any of our colonial sugar producers had a just claim to a differential duty. With regard to the complaint of the deficiency of labour in the West Indies, that might be remedied by the intro duction of machinery, and by giving the labourers an interest in their work. Mr. EWART seconded the motion. Mr. JAMES, as a West India proprietor, felt grate ful to the Government for their proposition, and opposed the resolution as tending to encourage the slave trade. Mr. RICARDO supported the resolution. There were nineteen different sorts of sugar, and he would defy the Government to define accurately what those differences were. How for instance would they di:2- tinguish between clayed and unclayed sugar? Much greater sacrifices had been made by the English con sumer than by the West Indian proprietor, and the latter had no claim to protection. Sir G. CLERK admitted that protection might be carried too far, but taking into consideration the peculiar circutnstances of the West Indian proprietors, he thought they were fully entitled to the protection which it was proposed to give them. The Right Hon. Gentleman then went into a lengthened defence of the policy of our colonial system—attributed the present depressed state of the West Indian interest to the total want of capital in the islands—and concluded by taunting the supporters of the motion with the absence of the leaders of the Whig party. Mr. VILLIERS asked, as the high price of labour had been given as a reason for continuing protection to West India sugar, why it was continued to sugar from the East Indies, where the price of labour was twopence a day ? and why, if the discounte nancing of slavery was the ground for continuing protection, any difference was made_between Java or Manilla and British colonial sugar ? He denied that the distress of the West Indies had been caused by the abolition of slavery. Mr. W. MILES defended the Wrest India interest. Lord Howicx, in an argumentative speech, re plete with statistical details, supported the motion. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. COBDEN, Mr. CARDWELL, and Mr. BRIGHT, after which a division took place, and Mr. M. GinsoN's amendment was rejected by a majority of 127, the numbers being for the amend ment 84, against it 211. The House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock. We have been so often under great obligations to Mr. HUME for his useful and persevering labours in bringing within the knowledge, and within the reach of the public at large, the most important documents and returns that can illustrate the domestic, financial, and foreign administration of the affairs of this em pire, that we are less surprised than gratified by the recent promulgation of a paper (No. 49, of the pre. sent session—House of Commons), entitled " Colo nies, Population, Trade, &c." which is docketed with the Honourable Member's name. It is impossible to peruse this return without very strong convictions of the immense responsibilities that attach to the ex tended influence, authority, commerce, and wealth that are derived to the mother country through its colonial dominions. The return, to which we now allude, sets forth in terms of the order of the House, " the date at which each colony or foreign possession of the British Crown was captured, ceded, or settled, the number of population, and whether having legis lative assemblies, or governed by orders of the Queen in Council ; stating, also, value of exports and imports, number and tonnage of vessels entered in wards and cleared outwards in each colony, in the year 1842." If " DAVID " HUME could have ar rived, by any process of anticipation, at the interesting results which, about a century after his time, were to be promulgated to the world in this paper, through the instrumentality of his namesake, the great historian's generous, though unsuccessful apology for the STUART Sovereigns would have derived no inconsiderable aid and force from a recapitulation of some of these dates of colo nial settlements. This remark derives additional importance, perhaps, from the fact that a sufficient de gree of credit has never been conceded to the successor of ELIZABETH for the sagacity and forecast with which he examined, discussed, and even projected great schemes of trans-atlantic colonization. His ideas on this national question were in some respects, it wouldlbe easy to show, far beyond the lights which most of his contemporaries, whether princes or subjects, had y e t acqu i red. On matters of th i s kind, moreover, JAMES was inspired with a and a c ourage i n en and difficulties that constancy of purp ose , countering discouragement s strongly contrasted with the general irresolution, timidity, and feebleness of his cbaracter. Almost th e last hours of his life—or certainly the last days of his existence—were devoted, in the privacy of his closet at TRH SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNLga, FEBRUARY 25 1 1845. Theobalds, to the implement of his grand design for the settlement of Nova Scotia, which had re mained from 1479 until the royal grant to the ALEXANDERS, in 1622, an unproductive, because un improved, discovery. Nevis, Montserrat, Antigua, and the Bahamas, were all settled during the reign of CHARLES I. Jamaica capitulated to the heroic repre sentative of CROMWELL, in 1655. The settlement of Tortola and that of the Anguillas, in the West Indies, in 1666, and the cession of St. Helena by the Dutch, in 1673, are among the few redeeming illus trations of the reign of CHARLES 11. It appears that the total population of our colonies in North America—namely, the two Canadas, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, Prince Ed ward's Island, and Newfoundland, amounts to 1,621,000 souls : the imports from these colonies into the United Kingdom, to 1,391,2551. annually : our exports thither, from the United Kingdom, to 4,445,5201. Yearly tonnage entered inwards (United Kingdom), 540,448; ships, 1,552. Tonnage out wards, 445,472 ; ships, 1,329. Of our 19 West India Colonies (Antigua, Barbadoes, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Kitt's, Nevis, St• Lucia, St. Vincent, Tobago, Tortola, the Anguillas' Trinidad, Bahamas, Bermudas, British Guiana, and Honduras), the population is 901,082 ; our imports thence into the United Kingdom 6,015,7651.; our exports thither 5,376,521/. Number of ships entered inwards, United Kingdom, 714, tonnage 191,688 ; cleared outwards 806 ships, tonnage 261,344. Of these other colonies, &c.—(namely, Gibraltar, Malta, Gozo, Cape of Good Hope, Sierra Leone, or the Gold Coast, Gambia, Ceylon, Mauritius, New South Wales, Van Dieman's Land, Western Australia, South Australia, New Zealand, Falkland Islands, St. Helena, and Hong-Kong)—the population is 2,152,101 ; the annual imports thence into this king dom, 3,087,999/. ; our exports thither, 7,496,62 8 / 4 ton nage inwards, United Kingdom, 128,500, ships 522 ; outwards, tonnage 911,000, ships 3,077. What noble bases are here, for the commercial opulence, the com mercial marine, the naval power, and the permanent grandeur of a maritime empire like our own, con nected as it thus is with the extremest limits of our globe—(putting utterly out of view ;our 100,000,000 of Continental-Asiatic subjects or tributaries, and the vast commercial and political relations we have with them)—with an aggregate colonial population of 4,674,000; an aggregate of imports of 10,495,0001.; of exports of 17,318,000/. ; and the employ of a total tonnage inwards of 860,729, and 2,788 ships ; out wards, 911,032 tonnage, and 3,077 ships ! This is, indeed, empire on a grand scale, and, we trust, main tained with a degree of proportionate benefit to the destinies of mankind. public all the phases of the affair; and he should never have reached the result yThich had been obtained. The visit to Windsor had been alluded to ; that moment was, in fact, favourable to the negotiation, and it was then pushed forward with vigour ; but after that period it had been retarded by the dispersion of the English Cabinet. — (Laughter on the Left.) He was astonished at the hilarity of Hun. Members. Nothing was more naturd than what he had said. It was necessary for the English Cabinet to deli berate, and they did not assemble until the 9:h January, and this was the cause of the delay, not in the negotiation, but in its conclusion.—(Hear, hear.) Some surprise had been ex pressed at not finding in the official dispatch may mention of an argument which he had declared his intention of using —the temporary character of the conventions—which had been recognised by Lord Palmerston himself; the Hon. M. Billault would, however, permit him to say that all the docu ments had not been produced.—t Exclamations from the Left.) If every document relative to negotiations were to be pro duced, it would be impossible to terminate anything.—(Ap probistion.) The negotiation had never, therefore, been abandoned ; it had merely been suspended i.‘t intervals, when it would have been impolitic to have pressed them forward. So much for the form ; now for the question itself. The right of search was inefficient for the suppression of the slave trade, and compromised the friendly relations between the two countries ; these were the two arguments he had used for its removal. It was due to the honour of Franca not to let it be thought that she was indifferent to the sup pression of the slave trade ; anti it was necessary - that the English Cabinet and the English people should be convinced that the right of search had become inefficacious to attain that end, and that other means more likely to succeed, and less dangerous, might be found. The English Cabine,t had declared that they attached no other interest to the exercise of that right than the suppression of the traffic. Two do cuments had been printed, and, notwithstanding the pub licity that had already been given to them, he must be per mitted to read them to the Chamber, in order to prove the sincerity of the Government in what it had done, and it would then be seen whether it could be again accused of charlatanism.—(Approbation.) The Honourable Minister here read a dispatch, addressed by him to the Count do Jarnac, requesting him to call the attention of Lord Aberdeen to the subject of the right of search, and pointing out the powerful motives which induced him to desire that some other mode of suppression of the slave trade might be devised in its stead. The Chamber (continued the Hon, Minister) would thus see that the question was clearly put. It was not a mere modification of the treaties of 1831 and 1833 that was asked for, but a new plan to be substituted for the right of search. The Hon. Minister then read the answer of the Earl of Aberdeen, stating the willingness of the Eng lish Government to substitute for the right of search any other mode which might on examination be found equally efficacious for the suppression of the slave trade. The lion. M. Billault (continued the Minister of Foreign Aflairs) ap peared to believe that no other means had been suggested, but he was mistaken; several plans had been examined and discussed, but it would require time to determine on such an important question. The Chamber would thus see that the negotiations had been actively carried on, and the question plainly [put. He should now come to the Parliamentary question. The discussion on the Address he maintained did not show that the confidence of the majority in the :Cabinet had been shaken; five questions had been put before the Chamber, and four votes had given a strong majority to the Cabinet, and on one question alone had the majo rity in the opinion of the Cabinet, though not according to the strict rules of representative Government, been found in sufficient. The Government, in introducing the Bill under discussion, had stated that their private opinions and inclina tions had prompted them to retire from office, but that they bad nevertheless remained, because, as long as the party to which they had the honour to belong felt itself able to uphold their common policy, they would not abandon it.—(Approba thin.) If that great party had appeared to them in the slightest way divided they should on the instant have retired : they considered it, however, their duty and their honour not to retire, and to attempt a fresh trial, and they persisted in the idea that their conduct was sensible and virile.—(Assent.) It had been said that a strong majority was necessary for a Government, and that they did not possess such a one—that their power was weakened. He could prove to the Cham ber that the most important thin,;s had been done by very small majorities; 'even a change in the Crown of Eng land had been effected under such a circumstance. The real opponents of the Government had declared that they sought not for power; that declaration had been made by M. 0. Barrot and by M. niers ; M. Billault alone had not done so.--(General laughter.) From that, it would appear that they were not in the true and regular condition of a representative Government. What would occur, did they suppose, if the present Cabinet retired from power? That there would not be a conquering power on the benches of the Chamber, but simply a protective power and a protected one. —(Hear, hear.) l es, there would be a protected power seeking everywhere for strength—in fact, begging its daily bread.—(Sensation.) That situation would not be one altogether novel ; such a one had been already seen ; but, he would ask, was it in such a case that force could be expected for the Government, and dignity for the country. He could comprehend that the Opposition—the real and great Opposi tion— which believed that it could not at present honourably arrive at power, should accept this situation, for it had some little profits to derive from it.—(Laughter.) Every one had seen, in the course of the late discussions, how much the question had been canvassed, as to the probability of the policy of the present Cabinet being changed. He could tell them that it would beyond a doubt be changed—elkanged too little and too much—too much to suit the Conservative party and too little to please the Left.—(Hear, hear.) That the Opposition should be satisfied with this situation he could easily comprehend; but that men, anxious to have a strong Government, should consent to accept such a state of things he would not believe—yet this was what was proposed to them at present. The Cabinet was convinced that the policy which it had pursued for the last four years was useful and honourable both at home and abroad; and the Chamber. during that period, had been of the same opinion. The great question was about to be decided. If the Chamber decided against the Cabinet, it would at once retire from power. However the decision might be, they might be assured of this, that the Cabinet would not change their opinion—the Chamber knew that that could not take place.—(lronical laughter on the Left.) No man's opinions were changed by the votes of the Chamber. If the opinion of the majority should happen to be against the Ministry, he would say, let the new experiment be made, and the country would a second time see how much an uncertain and advent urous policy pro tected by the Opposition would be worth.—(Loud cheers.) - After some remarks from M. ODILON BARROT, amidst the greatest noise and confusion, the ballot was taken, when there was a majority of 24 for Ministers.

The medical bulletin of the 18th announces that her MAJESTY and the Infanta are going on well. Three days of rejoicing with illuminations are decreed to celebrate the event. The intelligence of a political character is entirely destitute of interest. Accounts from Switzerland to the 18th instant an nounce that the occurrences at Lausanne have induced the different cantons of Switzerland to take measures for insuring their internal tranquillity. The Grand Council of the Valais has called out the landsturin, and voted a credit of 200,000 f. The sentiments of the Deputies of this canton are in conformity with those of the Deputies of Lucerne. At Zurich the Vorort has embodied two battalions of infantry, a squadron of cavalry, a company of carabineers, and a company of artillery. The cantons of St. Gall, Thurgau, and Schaffhousen have been recommended to call out their contingents. These troops are assembled by the Vorort to protect the Diet. At the same time the Vorort has delegated M. ZEUNDER and M. SULZER to Arau and Berne, to watch the movements of the free corps. The Deputies of Glaris have received instructions to demand the expulsion of the Jesuits, as well as those of Tessin. Bale town has voted in an opposite sense. Priburg has voted that the affair of the Jesuits is purely cantonal, and not within the jurisdiction of the Diet. This canton has not acceded to the invita tion made to Lucerne to send away the Jesuits._ By a letter from Geneva, of the 18th, we learn that the Government of that canton, although Pro testant, and opposed to the encroachments of the Jesuits, has refused to concur with the Radical party in means for compelling the canton of Lucerne to re voke its decisions. Geneva was tranquil at the date of this letter. Madrid journals of the 15th and 16th inst. have been received. On the 15:h, the royal assent had been given to the Bill for converting into Consolidated Three per Cents. the credits proceeding from contracts in anticipation of Funds, of Treasury Bonds, of In scriptions in the Centralised Floating Debt, of bills drawn on the Treasury of Havannah, according to the terms and at the rate established by the royal decrees of the 26th of June, 13th of September, and 9th of October of the last year. On the 16th, tha Government presented a Bill to the Cortes, for the restitution of the whole of the unsold national property. Letters from Bayonne announce that a serious military conspiracy had been discovered at Vittoria, and up wards of forty persons had been arrested. The Phare de Bayonne says, the movement is in favour of ESPARTERO ; but this is extremely improbable. Want of pay is a more likely cause. On the Madrid Bourse, on the 15th, the Three per Cents. closed at 33 for cash, and 331 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 24 1-16 at 60 days ; and the Coupons at 261 at 60 days. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the de bate and comments on the Secret Service Money Bill, but we do not find much in them interesting to an English reader. The principal speeches made on Friday were by M. BILLAULT and M. GUIZOT. The ostensible leader of the Opposition, for M. TIIIERS tries to keep in the back ground, said the great question was not whether the Cabinet possessed the confidence of the Chamber, for on that point there could be no doubt, but whether on their ejection their successors could obtain it. In the discussion on the Address the great questions of foreign policy had been duly considered, and by the vote of the Chamber they had been condemned. Had anything occurred, he asked, to change the position of the Ministry sinee their de feat? Nothing whatever. The question therefore was to ascertain if the interests of the country were to be sacrificed to the Cabinet, or the Cabinet to the true interests of France. The Cabinet was wounded to death. It was no longer in possession of any influ ence abroad—it was perfectly powerless to carry out any negotiation with foreign States. Such was the general position of the Cabinet; and if details were sought out, they would only prove the truth of his assertions. The diplomatic affairs of France ought to be directed with a firm hand, if success was to be looked for—it was, in fact, impossible to do anything with foreign Powers, as soon as they were obliged to entertain fears that any treaty concluded with a Ministry one day might be torn up next day by the Chambers. In the same manner as the present situa tion of the Cabinet rendered diplomatic negotiations impossible, so it presented serious impediments to all improvement and progress at home—to all develop ment of manufactures and commerce. He then ad verted to the old worn-out subject, the right of search—declared that the Minister of Foreign Affairs on that point, as well as many others, had deceived the Chamber, and the documents recently pub lished in London showed that the Cabinet had not conformed to votes repeatedly and solemnly given. He adduced other proofs of the incom petency of the Ministry, and concluded by call ing upon the Chamber to refuse a vote of con fidence. From the speech of BILLAULT and BARROT, the only speakers of the slightest importance, it was really evident that if the Cabinet had resigned there was no compact party to occupy their place. M. GUIZoT made a suitable speech in reply, to M. BlLLamr, of which the following is a brief outline : " With regard to the negotiations connected with the right of search, he was really surprised to hear the Hon. Deputy who had just spoken reproduce remarks which had lately appeared in some of the public journals. Did the Hon. Deputy suppose that, in a negotiation, when no official dis patches appeared, the affair was net being carried on ? Did he believe that an affair thus managed could ever arrive at a conc:usion ? Official documents were the termination of negotiations, and not the negotiations themselves. They were carried on by private correspondence and verbal con versation, and it was not until things were brought to some kind of accord that they were put in the shape of official dispatches. The question alluded to had been for more than two years the subject of negotiations carrying on through the medium of their Ambassador to London, and the result has been the subject of an offiCial dispatch. He should, however, have compromised the dignity of the cJuntry, and the success of the negotiation, if he had made Strathspey was in demand at an improved figure, and several eights and nines to one were takeA about Mr. Irwin's lot. The betting, except in the instances mentioned, and in the appearance of Ould Ireland at 40, and Yheomun-ac-Knuc at 50 to 1, both taken freely, exhibits no striking features. In the course of the afternoon several bets were laid at some thing above the market price ; amongst these were 2,600 to 200 agst Semiseria, 2,009 to 100 agst Strathspey, 1,500 to 50 agst Winesour, and 5,000 to 50 agst The Dean.

POST-OFFICE IRREGULARITIES.—It was mentioned pub licly in the Subscription-room yesterday afternoon, that two or three instances have occurred in which letters, written by parties to their agents or friends at Manchester, have been opened before they got to their destination. We presume the matter will be inquired into, but, in the meantime, we would suggest the propriety of using more caution in sealing them than is usually observed at " the corner." LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, Feb. 24. The House sat to-day to hear writs of error and appeals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lord Campbell. HATFIELD V. PHILLIPS. This case stood on their Lordships' paper to be argued upon a writ of error, but upon the case being called on it was arranged that it should be argued before the judges, after they had returned from their circuits. RICKARD V. TILE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. This appeal was adjourned to to-morrow, in consequence the absence of ➢lr. Wakefield, the leading Counsel for the appellant. The Learned Gentleman was in attendance in the early part of the day, but left under the impression that the first case would occupy the whole day. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Feb. 24. The Vice-Chancellor of England took causes to-day, none of which were of any interest. HORRIBLE MURDER and. HIGH WA Y RUBBERY. LATEST PARTICULARS. SUNDAY NlGHT.—Shortly after eight o'clock yesterday (Sunday morning) the remains of the murdered man, which still lie at the Yorkshire Gray public-house, at Hampstead, were identified by Mr. Kitchner, baker, of Whittlebury street, Euston-square, as those of Mr. James De La Rue, a professor of music, occupying apartments in his house, and supposed to be a relative to the eminent card manufacturers of that name. Mr. Kitchner states that the unfortunate gentleman left his home on Friday evening, about a quarter before six o'clock, stating that he was going to keep some appointment which he had made. On his departure he was observed, as usual, to have in his possession a silver hunting watch attached to a gold watch-guard. He also wore two valeable rings on his right hand, and on this being stated to Mr. Hunt, the constable of Hampstead, the glove found was pro duced, and the right hand of the deceased was also exa mined. The glove was split down the centre, and had been torn off by the assassins, and the marks occasioned by the pressure of the rings were still visible on the fingers of the right hand. Mr. Kitchner also states that he never knew the deceased gentleman to go out without a considerable sum of money in his pocket. . It appears that the murdered man, who is but twenty eight years of age, had for some period been acquainted with a young woman, with whom, according to a letter found in his possession, he was in the habit of having occasional meetings in the neighbourhood of the locality where he met his tragical end. It has already been announced that an en velope was found upon him addressed "J. Cooper, Esq., Hampstead-road." In this envelope was found a letter signed, "Caroline," which addressed him as "My dear James," and in which the writer intimated that she was pregnant by him, and solicited an interview at their usual spot. Mr. Kitchner states ilia he has been aware of the fact that letters have been left for the deceased at a shop within a few doors of his house, addressed, '° J. Cooper, Esq. ;" that they have always been delivered by hand; and it has been ascertained that the letter found, which bears no postmark, was left for the deceased on the morning of Friday. Shortly before seven o'clock on Friday evening the mur dered man was seen in company with the girl in question, whose name and connexions are known, and who, much to her credit, voluntarily came forward as soon as she became acquainted with the dreadful occurrence. They were seen together in the neighbourhood of the Swiss Cottage, and she was observed to leave him, taking her direction towards the Regent's-park. Mr. Hilton, a baker of West-end, who was serving his customers on the road, saw the deceased take the path towards the stile where he was found murdered, and in ten minutes after heard the crie I, which he communicated to Mr. Kilburn, and which led to the discovery of the body. At first it was supposed that a portion of the stile close to which the murder was perpetrated was made use of as the means of destruction, in consequence of its being found broken, but it is known to have been broken for some considerable period. It is gratifying to state, that by the exertions of the police, aided by the local authorities, a clue has been obtained to the perpetrators of the horrid deed; but, of course, the particulars are withheld, as their publication might tend materially to defeat the ends of justice. The following circumstances, however, ought to be stated in connexion with the matter, as they may in some measure tend to alleviate public ex citement. About a quarter before seven ceclock three men, dressed as half-labourers, half-mechanics, entered the George I public-house, near Pond-street, and, having had some gin, one of them accosted the postman ft he George is the district post-office), and wanted to sell him a hone for sharpening a razor, but on his declining to purchase they uttered some abusive language and went out. The landlord of the George states that in about two minutes after this lie went out, and on proceeding up the town was accosted by the same three men, who begged alms of him, but he told them he had no money, and passed on. It must be observed that the post man remarked that " He shouldn't wonder if they heard of something in the neighbourhood before morning," and this being impressed on the landlord's mind, he watched the three men, and saw them go down Bellsize-lane towards the spot where the murder was committed. He had not gone far before he was overtaken by a carpenter named Smith, living at Hampstead, who said he had been stopped by three men answering their description, and who demanded his watch and money, but on his showing them he had neither allowed him to pass. The landlord of the George states that lie went into the Black Boy, and in about three quarters of an hour after he had seen the three men in question he saw, on arriving in Heath. street, the police going with a stretcher to fetch the deceased, who, he was told, had shot himself. These circumstances leave no doubt that the three men alluded to were the murderers, and the hone in all probability was the instrument with which the wounds on the back of the head were inflicted. During yesterday, notwithstanding the unpleasant state of the weather, hundreds of persons visited the scene of this outrage, and the Yorkshire Gray was also thronged with visitors. Mr. Wakley, the coroner, was early informed of the sad catastrophe, and in the first instance issued his warrant for a post nwrtem examination, but the cause of death was so ap parent that the warrant has been withdrawn. The inquest will take place this day. CORONER'S INQUEST. Mr. Wakley and Mr. G. I. Mills, the Coroner and Deputy Coroner for the county of Middlesex, with a jury of the most respectable householders in the vicinity, held an in quest yesterday at the Yorkshire Grey, Hampstead, on view of the body of James Delarue, a teacher of the piano forte, living at 55, Whittlebury-street, Euston-square, whose body was discovered on the Friday evening in a footpath leading from Haverstock to Primrose-hill. The jury met at ten o'clock, and having been sworn, The deceased's brother was called in. He had identified the body, and was asked whether he had any idea of any one who meditated injury to the deceased., He answered in the negative. The ques tion was repeated, the Coroner at the same time cau tioning Mr. Delarue not to mention the name, and citing an instance where the murderer himself had been in the room, and having every information, had been enabled to escape. Mr.. Delarue said that he was quite unable to fix on any one as likely to commit such a deed. Police-constable 304 S said, that receiving informa tion of cries of " Murder" having been heard whilst on duty on Haverstock-hill, he ran into the Haverstock field, but did not find any cause for the outcries. He then ran through Bellsize- lane into the road opposite the George public-house, when he met Sergeant Fletcher, who accom panied him again to the Haverstock-field, in the west corner of which they found the body of deceased. He was lying against a wall, which formed an acute angle with a wooden railing. There were marks of bloody fingers on the railing, , and two pools of blood upon the ground. - He found the hat at some distance from the body, which was afterwards brought to this house. His coat was wide open ; no part of his clothes were torn. (The unfortunate gentle man's hat was shown to the Coroner. It was broken in several places as if from severe blows.) He found in his left-hand pocket some keys, snuff-box, and paper, with some writing on it, and a letter.—[The letter was handed to the Coroner. We understand the purport of the letter to be, that the writer (Caroline) requests Mr. Delarue to meet her at the place where they had spent so many half-hours together, as she had something of the first importance to communicate.] He observed a large pool of blood on the ground, his shirt was covered with the same, as was also the railings near him. Went there the following morning and found no weapon of any kind near the place. Sergeant Fletcher, 24 S, knew no more of the transaction than that deposed to by the last witness. John Kitchener, baker, 55, Whittlebury-street, took the house of which deceased was formerly landlord, about three years ago, and deceased lodged in the house since. Saw him on Friday last week. Did not know any one who threatened to injure him. The brother of deceased was asked if he (the deceased) had a watch and chain, and he answered in the affimative. The Coroner asked him if he knew the maker's name, and the question was also answered in the affirmative. The Co roner told him not to mention it, as it might put the guilty parties on their guard. Susan Kitchener—Lives with her brother. Mr. Delarue lodged with them. Saw him on Friday evening at half-past six, in the back parlour. He had on his hat and wrapper coat, and said he was going out. lie did not say where he was going, but lie told her to keep the fire in. He had a watch and gold chain. Saw it on Friday morning. The CORONER here expressed a wish that the room should be cleared, as he wished to consult with the police as to the best mode of tracing the guilty parties. After the public was admitted, it was stated that the inquest had been adjourned, but no definite period was fixed, in order to give time to the police to trace the particulars connected with this equally mysterious and diabolical murder. When the Court was cleared of strangers, we understand that the following (and our information is pretty correct) was the purport of the evidence adduced : Mr. Smith, carpenter, of Hampstead, stated that a few minutes before the unfortunate deceased must have passed, he was walking along Bellsize-lane, when he was met by three men, dressed as labourers, who demanded his watch and money. He proved to them that he had neither, and way permitted to go on. At an after period, Mr. Symonds , of Norfolk Cottage, De vonshire-hill, was stopped by three men, corresponding in SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Pubftt pinton. " Who r las may re•al." FOREIGN. The adjourned discussion upon tho Secret Service Bill commenced on Friday by a speech from M.,ly against the Bill. He was replied to by M. Liadieres, who was interrupted by M. Thiers in a most extraor dinary manner, the latter exclaiming that it was the King who was the first to set the example of singing the MarseiVaise. M. Boudet proposed that the sum demanded be reduced by 25,0001. The Count d'Haussonville combated the amendment, which was supported by N. Billault, in a violent speech, who was met by M. Guizot, to whom Odillon Barret replied. At seven o'clock, the close of the debate upon the amendment was called for, when the nominal appoal was made, and the question of confidence implied in the amendment was put to the vote, when there appeared—For the amendment, 205 ; against it, 229—majority for Ministerf,24. The Cham ber then proceeded to vote upon the original preposition fora million of francs; when there api3ared—For, 217; against, 41—majority for Ministers, 176. The Opposi tion left after the vote on the amendment, as they did when beaten on the address. The Chamber rose at eight o'clock. On Thursday evening the King of the French received the Pope's Nuncio, Prince Pignatelli, M. Rossi, Peer of France, Barons de Barante and de Bourqueney, and M. Bouny, Director of the Indirect Taxes. The Director-General of the French Post-office has pub lished an official notification of the establishment of mail from London to Calcutta on the 24th of every month (ex cept when the 24th falls on a Sunday, when it will leave on the following day), and stating that it will pass through Paris on the night of the 25th. The Marquis de Ferriere, First Secretary to the Embassy to China, has arrived in Paris with the treaty of commerce signed at Whampoa by M. de Lagrene and the Chinese Pleni potentiary. M. de Ferriere, in order to avoid the performance of quarantine at Toulon, came by the English packet from Alexandria to Southampton, and thence into France by Havre, thus shortening his journey by five or six days. Possibly this may open the eyes of the French Government on the beauties of quarantine and passports. Accounts from Athens, of the 2d, state that the Greek Mi nistry was daily gaining strength, and that tranquillity pre vailed throughout the country. The funeral obsequies of Admiral Gregg were celebrated at St. Petersburgh on the 6th with much pomp. The Grand Dukes Alexander, Michael and Constantine were present. A letter from Lucerne, of the 13th, in the New Zurich Gazette, states that 72 persons have been condemned to various punishments for the part they took in the late rebel lion, and that nearly 1,200 others are under prosecution. Marchal, the author, M. Cauville, the publisher, and M. Blondeau, the printer, of a libellous pamphlet, entitled La Famille d'Orleans, have been condemned in default by the Court of Assizes, and sentenced each to five years' imprison ment, and a fine of 10,000 f. Immediately after the judg ment Marchal was arrested on a warrant charging him with fraud. It is said that M. Berryer and M. Cremieux both successively declined appearing as counsel for Marchal, on account of the nature of the work, which had before been condemned in 1835. COURT-FASHXONABLE. The Duke of Buckingham has left Buckingham House for Stowe. His Grace presides on the 25th at the Conservative Association dinner, at the Town-hall, Buckingham. The Marquis of Chandos, Sir Thomas Fremantle, Bart., M.P., and Sir J. Chetwode, Bart., M.P., act as stewards on the occasion. The Duke of Wellington's contemplated banquet to the judges and members of the bar, at Strathfieldsaye, on Wed nesday next, is necessarily postponed, owing to the death of his brother. _ _ _ Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland and Lady Augusta Powlett intend to remain at Raby Castle till after Easter, when they will proceed to St. James's-square, London, for the season. The Marquis of Northampton has left town for Torquay. The Earl of St. Germans left Dover-street at the close of last week to visit Lord Eliot, his eldest son, who has entered Oxford University. The Noble Earl afterwards proceeds to join the Countess and the Ladies Eliot at Port Eliot, Corn wall, where the family purpose sojourning until after the Easter recess, when the Noble Earl and Countess come to town for the season. The Earl of Aberdeen has issued cards for a grand dinner party, at Argyll House, on the sth of March. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Stanley, and most of the leading Peers are invited. MISCELLANEOUS. The electors of Finsbury are about to testify their marked disapprobation of the insult offered to their representative, Mr. T. Duncombe, by Sir James Graham, in respect to the opening of the Hon. Member's letters ; and also to condemn the conduct of the Home Secretary in refusing to give any satisfactory- explanation on the subject. The Secretary at War has decided upon the erection of five experimental military prisons, to which superintendents, selected from the half-pay list, are to be immediately ap pointed, at a salary, in the majority of cases, of 2001. per annum. THE THEATRES. HAYMARKET. A new and original comedy in three acts, so styled in the bills, entitled, The Sheriff of the County, from the pen of our old friend Peake, was produced here last night, with the most deserved success. In the olden time, when there were such things as three-act farces, this would most probably have been called a farce, but we will not dispute about names— farce or comedy, it is a most agreeable, lively, bustling affair, and kept the audience in a constant titter for more than two hours, and Peake may boast that he has done more than Majesty itself can do, created a high sheriff who does not, either by himself or his deputy, cause a moment's heart ache to a single individual. Mr. Hollylodge (Mr. W. Farron) the high sheriff of the county, is the most amusing of officials—a retired country gentleman, devoted to his garden and his poultry-yard. He eschews notoriety —he seeks retirementhoW comes it then that Mr. Hollylodge is made high sheriff of the county ? Mr. Hollylodge has awife (Mrs.:Glover), bustling, ambitious, purse-proud, to whom her neighbour, Lady Winkleworth (Mrs. W. Clifford), a high-bred aristocrat, is even as Mrs. Grundy was to Dame Asl►field, and Mrs. Hollylodge has a brother, Smirker (Mr. Strickland), a shrewd country attorney, who has an itching palm fur the few which fall to the lot of deputy-sheriff. " What would Lady Winkleworth say if I were the lady of the sheriff of the county?" quoth Mrs. Hollylodge. " What sums could I not realise if I were deputy. sheriff," calculates Mr. Smirker, and accordingly Smirker goes to London, and by intriguing with the subor dinates in office, manages to get his brother•►n-law nomi nated sheriff of the county. Poor Mr. Hollylodge stands in the last category of Falstaff's men of honour, and equally to his surprise and his annoyance, hears of the .honour which has been thrust upon him. At first, he is inclined to pay the fine, but as Smirker kindly undertakes to perform all the duties of the office, in fact, to be the factotum, Hollylodge, much t f the delight of the ladies, consents to serve. The whole house is in a bustle; Nonpareil (Mr. Webster), who has been footman to three Lord Mayors, is brought down from town to drill the servants, Andrew ( Mr. 11. Widdicombe) a plain clodpole, and Pansy (Mr. Buckstone), a gardener, much addicted to the study of the History of England, and who is particularly anxious to know whether Jane Shore would be a proper person to undertake the office of governess in a respectable family. Banners are painted ; new carriages are built; splendid liver►eries are ordered, one of which is donned by the high sheriff himself, as his official costume, much to the amazement of Lady 'Winkle worth and the confusion of Mrs. Hollylodge. Par ties are given, and the high sheriff is completely put out of his way, and is in the high road to misery in conse quenee, when, fortunately, the intrigue of Smirker is dis covered. Smirker himself ►s struck off the rolls. Hollylodge is superseded, much to h►s own comfort; and the husband of Lady Winkleworth is appointed in his stead, much to the discomfort of Mrs. Holl3 lodge. These are excellent ma terials for the production of fun, and Peake has worked them up with the hand of a master. Puns, some excellently good, some ludicrously bad, but none indifferent, are bandied about in all directions. Hits at the prevailing follies of the day—all of which tell—occasional flashes of genuine wit, and frequent bursts of the most hearty and unctuous humour. abound in this very amusing piece, in the composition of which Mr. Peake seems to have con sulted the taste of all classes, for there is a sentimental un derplot, in which a young soldier is sentenced to death for having struck his superior officer, who had been offering an insult to his (the soldier's) sister. The soldier and the sister turn out to be the nephew and niece of the high sheriff, and of course the soldier is pardoned. The piece was evidently written for the Haymarket company. Peake has taken the measure of each member of it concerned in the production of the comedy, and has exactly fitted every individual. The comedy, therefore, goes adm►rably. The ;lase en scene is per fect, and at the conclusion it was announced for repetition every evening amidst the loud applause of a crowded house. ADELPBJ. Mr. Morton is the most indefatigable of farce writers. He seems recently to have taken a vast liking to infantile heroes : A short time since he produced Young Englund, at the Hay market ; and last night he produced a farce at the Adelphi, which he might have called Young Jamaica, but which he does call Mother and Child are Doing Well. In the Young England, Buckstone is the victim of the " horrid child." In Mother and Child aye Doing Well, Wright is the unhappy individual who is called upon to take arms against a sea of troubles, brought on by having a mysterious infant forced into his arms. Of the two we think the sorrows of Wright are the more amusing. His Felix Huffy is admirable. He is a Cheapside grocer, suddenly transported to Jamaica, who cannot for the life of him see why he should not do exactly the same thing, at exactly the same times, between the tropics that he did in London ; and who, haying heard a negro speak of the mudder and the piccaninny, has awful misgivings as to whether he has not been unwittingly made the depository of a dreadful secret relating to some mysterious murder perpetrated in Piccadilly. Then the child is brought and left with him in a mysterious way—secrets of divers sorts are half-confided to him by divers persons of whom he knows nothing—until at last he is obliged to adopt a series of numbers, such as secret number one confided by mysterious stranger number one; and even with the help of the numbers he gets involved in inextrica• ble confusion. There was a rich and unctuous stolidity about Wright's personation of this' character, which reminded us strongly of Liston. He has more of the quiet Listonian humour about him than any actor at present upon the stage. He was called for at the conclusion, and announced the piece for repetition in a strange sort of mysterious confiden • teal way, that set the House in a roar. The House was crammed.

Mae MAJESTY AND THE ISLE OF WIGHT.--We are not without confident expectation that the Queen will still continue to pay her annual visits to Brighton, and we form this opinion upon authority that we are assured cannot be questioned. Her Majesty, it is known, made a purchase of Osborne House, in the Isle of Wight, with its park and a portion only of the demesne, last year, of Lady Isabella Blackford, conditionally that she was to have the benefit of one year's experience, and then have the option of declining it upon plying one thousand pounds. :This period will ter minate early in May. In the meantime, her Majesty has already signified to Lady Blackford, through her solicitor, that it is not her intention to become the purchaser ; the reason (as it is conjectured only) b ein g that it is not altoge ther so full of accommodation as her very large establishment would require. This statement will receive positive confir mation from the fact that her Ladyship has already in structed Mr. George Robins to sell Osborne House, with the ornamental park and extensive gi ounds, together with the large domain, which is distributed into pleasure farms around it, and that the auction will speedily be announced to take place in the month of June. The purchase money to have been paid by her Majesty for the mansion and park and a farm or two connected with this delightful property was twenty-eight thousand pounds.—,Brighton Herald, FeV, 24. dress to the description given by Mr. Smith, who reque- ; him to purchase a hone, and, finding some hesitation 011t4; part, compelled him by threats to do so. This w as in to_ very same path in which the body of Mr. Delarue 11,1. found. His impression is that the men were dressed as rail way labourers or navigators generally are. The principal matter of inquiry during the secret Pr„?: ceedings was to moertain how far the evidence in the Pre, lodging would connect the female whom it was sur posed he had met by appointment, with the supposed • derers. The police said that the privacy of the deet7, gentleman's papers proved nothing. Evidence was cert . given of certain prints, which the constable considered wg'Zl indecent (we have heard an inspector term a Baccha nte, Poussin, which had once figured in a Police- court , indeceot c; and of 101. in gold, as also letters, part of a correslO ide/ 00 d with a young lady in a boarding school in the neig hbourb of Hampstead, supposed to be one of his pupils. f The CORONER, at some length, spoke of the necessity' 0 reward being offered for the apprehension of the murderer. and the jury, coinciding in ths views of the Coron er, dreldr re a memorial, which he (Mr. Wakley) undertook shoo' delivered into the hands of the Secretary of State at the Y W J earliest opportunity. of The excitement that prevailed in the neighb ourhoo d Hampstead may be inferred from the fact that c on Eider. sums were offered by curious gentlemen" for th e priTu, eb" of being summoned on the jury.
