Com pelled to abandon this party slander, the Monopolists next endeavoured to raise a vulgar prejudice against Mr. BRowN, on the score that he was an American ; but this assertion, too, they were under the humi liating necessity of retracting, for- it was proved, beyond the possibility of contradiction, that he was " an Irishman, and a man of business and in tegrity in every respect, who for a long series of years had stood at the head of the trade of Liverpool." If we notice these absurd calumnies, it is not from any importance they possess—for they are so utterly con temptible that it was scarcely worth Mr. GARDNER ' S While to attempt their refutation—but because they are characteristic of the Conservative nature, because they show to what low, petty devices this degraded party will have recourse, in order to accomplish any end which it may ha?e much at heart. But, despite all its electioneering chicanery, truth, and justice, and common sense will prevail, and Mr. BROWN will be returned the free-trade Member -for South Lanca shire. In proposing the monopolist candidate, Mr. ENTWISLE, Colonel TEMPEST observed that " he was a gentleman of sound, constitutional princi ples, who had greatly distinguished himself at the University—a sure presage that he would be en abled properly to represent their great arid important interests in Parliament." Of all the egregious non sequiturs we ever heard, this is, without exception, the richest and most ridiculous. What has the classical and mathematical knowledge, which is almost exclu sively in request at our Universities, to do with the commercial, matter-of-fact knowledge indispensable to a man who aspires to represent the most mercantile community in the empire ? Does it follow, as a necessary consequence, that because Mr. ENT WISTLE may have been a first class man at Oxford, or a senior wrangler at Cambridge, he should fully understand all the complicated details of trade, and be able to give adequate expression in Parliament to the wants and wishes of that important manufacturing district for which it is the object of his ambition to be returned ? Will his familiar acquain tance with the tongues of Greece and Rome furnish him with arguments on the subject of the Import or Export Duties; or his knowledge of Euclid and Algebra enable him successfully to reply to a speech of Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT on the Sugar Ques tion ? With quite as much propriety Colonel TEMPEST might have inferred that Mr. DISRAELI would make the best possible representative for south Lancashire, because he has just honourably distin guished himself in the world of letters by his brilliant tale of " Coningsby !" Mr. ENTWISLE, who, unlike the rival candidate, seemed sadly at a loss for some thing to say worth listening to, praised the present Ministers in a style that bore all the appearance of the most cutting irony ; and, among other financial achievements on which he congratulated them, spe cially pointed out that delectable impost, the income tax. " No doubt," he said, " they had resorted to an income-tax, but urgent cases required severe remedies, and he was ready to contend that that tax was a good one, urgently called for by the necessities of the times." Of course, as Mr. ENTWISLE is such a decided advocate for this light and delicate impost, he will—upon the principle that one cannot have too much of a good thing—vote for its continuance when the three years for which it was to be in existence have expired ; and we, therefore, warn betimes the electors of South Lancashire how they return to Parliament a man who openly and de liberately professes his admiration of a tax which is inquisitorial in its nature—unjust and partial in its operation—and utterly indefensible in every respect. main, he discharged with exemplary correctness, that fl we are grieved to direct attention to what we shall ever consider the vindictive, coarse, and cruel perti nacity with which the KING either originated, or per mitted others to originate, the measures which had for their avowed object to bring about a separation be tween his Royal Highness and his wife. The mar riage, we have seen, had been celebrated at Rome by a Mr. GUNN, a clergyman in holy orders of the Church of England, according to the forms, cere monies, and ritual of that Church. In the end of September, 1793, the illustrious couple arrived in England. His Royal Highness, still apprehensive of the displeasure of the KING, had observed a careful silence on the fact of his marriage, so far as any public avowal of it in this country was con cerned. The condition of Lady AUGUSTA, however, now rendered it expedient that a further recognition of it should take place here; and they were re-mar ried, by banns, in the church of St. George, Hanover square. The entry of this marriage was accidentally seen by a Nobleman, who reported it to the KING ; and the Duke was sent abroad by his order. Some time afterwards, :on his Royal Highness being at tacked with dangerous illness at Berlin, Lady AUGUSTA repaired thither to nurse her husband ; but was speedily required to quit that capital. On the return of the Duke to this country, he resided for some time with Lady AUGUSTA, in Lower Grosvenor-street ; but he was on terms ofsuch estrange ment from the Royal Family, that he was again induced to visit the Continent, and they never met again. Her Ladyship, exposed to the most cruel privations, was treated with all severity, threatened with the penalties of a praemunire, irritated by the apparent neglect and coldness of her Royal partner, and ignorant of the efforts he was really making to procure her recognition. What followed is all summed up in this statement of counsel : " Some time afterwards proposals were forwarded to her, through Lord Grenville" (who, we may observe by the way, ought to have torn up such a commission before the Royal face, instead of condescending to be its organ), " to settle 4,000/. a year on her, on certain conditions, such as giving up the Royal livery; and the lady, smarting under the circumstances already detailed, accepted these proposals. The claimant, however, was then, and always had been the object of his father's affection, who addressed him in terms of as warm affection as were ever used by parent towards his children. The Prince, too, desired that the son should succeed to all his honours. In his will, where he made the Prince of Wales, afterwards George IV., and the Duke of York his exe cutors, he urged them in the strongest manner to maintain the interests and rights of his son ; and even after being fully made acquainted with the provisions of the Royal Mar riage Act, the Prince still asserted the legitimacy of his son, and looked on him as entitled to succeed to his own titles and honours." One of those solemn appeals to the judgment of the House of Lords (sitting in a Committee of Privileges), which always seem to excite in Englishmen, without reference to ranks, politics, or parties, a profound in terest, was on Thursday last opened by counsel, on behalf of an individual whose private virtues and try ing position have long earned for him the sympathy and respect of his countrymen. Sir AUGUSTUS D'EsTE, claimant to the Dukedom of Sussex, Barony of Ark low, Earldom of Inverness, and other the honours, titles, and baronies of his late father, his Royal High ness the Duke of SUSSEX, deceased, was represented by Sir THOM 4.S WILDE, Mr. ERIE, Q.C., and Mr. JAMES WILDE ; and the first-named of these gentle. men addressed their Lordships in a speech as much distinguished by its constitutional doctrine and sound law, as for the much rarer excellence of strong com mon sense which pervaded it. If to these advantages in the opening of his counsel, we may add the equity of Sir AUGUSTUS D'EsTE's claim, derived from the sanction of all the formalities which the marriage of his noble mother had clearly received according to the laws of GOD and man,—all the peculiar and romantic confirmation which attaches to that ceremony in the written record of both parties to it—a record in which its intention, force, good faith, and validity, are confessed and attested by each, in language of the most solemn adjuration to the Divine Creator that could be em ployed on the most sacred occasions of invoking Him, —we are tempted to say that the case of the claimant must be irresistible. But we will here refer the reader to our abstract of the proceedings before the Committee of Privileges for the letters of the Lady AUGUSTA MURRAY—abounding as these do in pas sages of the most intense affection for her Royal Con sort—of professions of duty expressed with a happy force of combined dignity and meekness ; and to the correspondence of his late Royal Highness himself, breathing throughout the most unaffected and anxious tenderness for her whom in that document, which, when he prepared it, he supposed to be his "last will and testament," in its solemn injunctions on his Royal brothers, namely, his Royal Highness the late Duke of YORK and his Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, afterwards GEORGE IV., and subsequently in his letter to Lord ERSKINE, he studiously and repeat edly declares to be, and designates as, his " dear wife," " to whom he had been solemnly and duly married ;" married, as his late Royal Highness recites in his will, dated September, 15, 1799, " on the 4th day of April, 1792, at the city of Rome, and in the inn commonly known by the name of Sarmiento, where my afore said wife then resided with her mother, Lady Dim- MORE, and her sister, Lady VIRGINIA MURRAY ; and also that, for greater security, and not from any ap prehension of the first being insufficient, I again per formed the ceremony of marriage with my said wife at the parish church of St. George, Hanover-square, in the county of Middlesex, by virtue of banns pub lished in the said church, on the sth day of Decem ber, in the year of our LORD, 1793." So that, up to this point, nothing seems to have beeli wanting, wherein—by any specialty of his own act and deed— in the most deliberate, formal, unreserved spirit of acknowledgment, the late Duke of SUSSEX could admit the fact and the verification of his marriage We now arrive at the remarkable evidences to the solicitude of the Duke of SUSSEX to record his volun tary disclaimer of the license which a sentence of the Ecclesiastical Courts might, at first, have appeared to give him, to repudiate his connexion and disavow its offspring. But, on the contrary, he thus empha tically adheres to the legitimation of both the one and the other. In the will, already mentioned, he writes— ! _ " Notwithstanding a decree has since passed the Court of Doctors' Commons to declare my marriage unlawful and void, yet I feel myself still not less bound by every obliga tion of law, conscience, and honour, to consider her as my lawful and undoubted wife in every respect as if that decree had never taken place. And that I consider, and ever shall acknowledge our son, Augustus Frederick, who was born after both these marriages, as my true, legitimate, and lawful son." Nor is this all, for in another will, made in 1800, he appointed the Prince of WALES and the Duke of YORK as his executors, and entreated them to maintain the just rights of his son. 'We need not dwell upon the disgraceful _ resort which was had to the Royal Marriage Act ; to the sentence (above alluded to) which was pronounced under its enactments in the Spiritual Courts; nor to the facts that attended the passing of the Divorce Bill founded thereon. But let us recur to the origin of the Royal Marriage Act. It passed in 1772. In 1771, the KING (GEORGE III.), brother to the Duke of GLOUCESTER, had married the widow of Earl LDEGRATE, formerly his Majesty's preceptor, and the Duke of CUMBERLAND, uncle to the KING, had married the fair widow of HORTON. Each of these marriages gave great offence to GEORGE III.; and at his instigation, this Bill of Restrictions upon the marriages of the Royal Family of England was intro duced into Parliament, and hurried into a law in defiance alike of the usual forms and decorum of Parliamentary precedent, and the ordinary decorum with which such a question ought ever to be entertained. It was, at once, an indication of, and a peace-offering to, the KING'S dis pleasure. " You do not go so far," said Lord CAMP BELL, on Thursday last, to Sir THOMAS . WILDE, "as some of the Lords who dissented from the Bill, and declared that it was against the constitution, and, theugh passed in Parliament, could not have the force of law." "In consequence of this Bill," says HAYDN, "none of the descendants of GEORGE IL, unless of foreign birth, can enter into the matrimonial state under the age of twenty-five, unless with the consent of : the KING : and at and after that age, the consent of , Parliament is necessary to render the marriage val l id." Sir THOMAS WILDE ably argued that this was an Act creating an incapacity. " The law would therefore look to that incapacity with a jealous eye— limiting it in every particular; and, unless they Con strUed the Act in the most loose manner possible they could not bring it to operate against the plaintiff." The Act embodied everything that called for strictness of Construction. It created incapacity—it limited a natural right—it inflicted forfeiture and created crime, and therefore wai to be construed according to the rules of the utmost strirtness. He did not mean to deny the power of the Legislature to act upon British subjects anywhere, but the rul of the common law, in regard to these laws creating forfeitures, was not to extend them beyond the British terri tory, but to confine their operations to deeds done in the British territory, and the British territory only." But -Sir THOMAS'S concluding argument was founded on a dictum of the great Lord STOWELL'S, which completely shatters to pieces the whole of the constructive plea upon which it has been sought to bring the case of this memorable marriage between the late Duke of SUSSEX and Lady AUGUSTA MUR RAY within the scope of the Royal Marriage Act. Het has shown that clause 1 limited the operation of the i Act to marriages " solemnised within the British territory." • Then, as to clause 2 The last clause equally supported the views he had laid down ; and he contended that the terms of the Act itself, and the principles of construction applied to it, bore him out in the meaning which he attached to it—that its 'provisions could not be extended beyond the British territory and theiefore did not apply to the marriage of which his client was the issue. The provisions of this Act did not extend to Ireland, and this marriage was therefore valid in Ireland. Now the principle which was recognised by the English law was, that the ler loci contractus should be the standard whereby the validity of contracts were judged." In short, " the,rule of all countries is that a mar riage is good, if it was good according to the law or custom of the place where it was celebrated." The principle is not alone that of our ascertained decisions in the law Courts of England, but obtains universally in those of other countries," &c. So much, then, for the facts and the law of this case ; from whence it will, we trust, manifestly ap pear to their Lordships that the marriage of the late Duke of Susszx and Lady AUGUSTA MURRAY was good, and ought to have been affirmed ; that the Royal Marriage Act cannot be made to apply to it; that the legitimacy of the two children of this con nection, Sir AtrousTus D'EsTE and his sister, is proved beyond all doubt, suspicion, or difficulty. But we cannot here offer Sir AUGUSTUS IVESTE with the Lady AUGUSTA MURRAY, second daughter of our hearty and most cordial good wishes for his the then Earl of DUNMORE ; or set beyond the reach of success, without adding that his exemplary modera cavil and dispute his own subsequent confession to it. tion, prudence and forbearance, give him a still But his Royal Highness's father, King GEORGE stronger claim than these legal presumptions in (whose notions of the irresponsible, unreasoning na- his favour to the proud honours of his Royal ture of the paternal authority; and of the blind, un- Father.

The following telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne was received on Thursday by the French Govern ment:— " BAYONNE, NAY 23. " The two Queens and the Infanta left Madrid for Barcelona on the morning of the 20th. General NARYAEZ accompanies them." We find by the Madrid papers of the 17th, the Spanish Three per Cents. had risen nearly two per cent., owing to some statements put forth by the new Finance Minister, in which he gives assurances that he will use every exertion to restore public credit, and pay the next dividend with the utmost punc tuality. It appears, also, that he had received an ad vance of cash from the Bank of St. Ferdinand at six per cent. interest. On the 17th the Three per Cents. were quoted at 254 for cash, and 30 at 60 . days ; and the Five per Cents. at 201 for 'call), tihdol it 60.:dilys., The pamphlet of the Prince DB JOINVILLE forms the only topic of the slightest interest in the Paris journals. The Constitutionnel, the Presse, the Com merce, and several other papers, reply in rather bitter terms to the article in the Journal des Dobats on the subject, but we find nothing in this war of words which can attract public attention here. It appears from private letters that the Prince has taken great offence at the remarks made by the Government, and had even complained of them to the KING. His MAJESTY, however, did not seem inclined to grant any redress. Some altercation took place as to the expediency and prudence of publishing such a work, and ended by the Prince declaring that he would absent himself for a time from Neuilly : indeed it is officially announced that he left Paris on Wednes day for Compiegne. _ _ . The Special Committee appointed by the Chamber of Deputies to examine the demand for an extra ordinary credit relative to Algeria, has just had its report distributed to the Chamber. The Committee, iu conformity with the decision of the Chamber last year, approves of the system of occupation proposed by Marshal SOULT in the preceding session. This system consists in taking as a permanent military line the cen tral line of the Tel, starting from Tlemcen and pro ; cfeding by Mascara, the valley of the Cheliff, Miliana, Medeuh, Setif, and Constantina. The Committee, hbyteYer, expressed its regret at seeing this line of oc ctipation extended, by the creation of permanent ports established on the skirts of the little desert, at Boghar, Teniet-el-Had, Tiaret, Saida, and Sabdou, which the governor -General desires to make centres of Euro pkan civilisation, and in consequence it proposes to tile Chamber a reduction of 10,000 francs on the sum rlquired for the establishment of those new posts. • The French Funds have again advanced. On alursday, the Three per Cents. closed at 8 4f. 85 c., d the Fives at 122 f. 25c.

A. man called at his house. and requested to look at the apartments, there being a bill in the window of " apartments to be let, unfurnished." Upon seeing them he expressed his satisfaction, gave a reference, and said he would leave 2s. 6d. as a small deposit. He thereupon ten-. dered a ss. piece, and a half - crow n was g iven in exchan g e, upon which he immediately said, "I suppose you will furnish them nicely ?" and_upon his being told (as of course he already knew from the bill) that the apartments were unfurnished, he saldithey would not do, and returned a bad half-crown in lieu or the one he had received, took his ss. piece, and imme diately,l,ft the house, EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF FALSE WEIGHTS AND Micasuaite, 7 -Qn Friday morning Mr. Reynolds, the inspector for weight - ind'measures for the eastern district of the me " tropolis, made some extensive seizures in the neighbourhood of the Eagle Tavern, Eagle-street, and Westmorland-place ; also in Britannia-street, and parts adjacent.

In the evening their Ma sties received General and Madame de Cubieres , G eneral - Baron Deponthon, the Marquis de Pange, the Count d'Elchegoyn, Baron LeLrgne d'ldeville, and the Duchess de Talleyrand. The Prince de Joinville left Paris on Wednesday for Compiegne. Baron de Krudener, the Russian Ambassador in Switzer land, has arrived in Paris from Berlin. The funeral obsequies of Vice-Admiral Lalande were cele brated on Wednesday at the church of St. Louis d'Antin. After the religious ceremony in the church the body was taken for interment to the cemetery of Pere La Chaise. General ' Lalande, the brother of the deceased, acted as chief mourner, and was lii - Onediately followed by the grand deputation of the Chamber - of Deputies, numerous friends of the deceased, amongst whom were M Thiers, M. de Cubieres, &c., and se veral naval officers of different ranbik The Courrier Francais states, that eight railroad bills are at present submitted to the consideration of the Chamber of Deputies. Several companies are formed for the supply of the rails and materiel. Shares have been subscribed for, and are even now selling at a premium. Presidents, directors, and administrators, are appointed, and are well remunerated. In fact, all is ready but the 700,000,000 or 800,000,000 to be furnished by the Treasury. M. Humann, with his Alsacian frankness, spoke of the railroad bill as a great electoral juggle. M. Lacave Laplagne is more discreet. The ,Queen of Saxony is expected at Munich in the course of next week, on a visit to the Queen of Bavaria, after which her Majesty intends repairing to Berlin, to pay a visit to the Royal family of Prussia. We hear that his Majesty the King of Saxony and suite are expected to pass . through Brussels on Monday next, en route to this. country: ,On the eveningiofttos.l7th, a fishing-smack, belonging to Panne, in the communeof-Adinkerke (Belgium), was upset in a heavy squalVabolit" 150 metres from the sea dike, near that village, and six out of eight men, composing the crew, unfortunately drowned. The master contrived, by laying hold of an oar, to keep himself above water until rescued by the exertions of some people from the shore. An old man, whose two sons were on board the boat, on hearing of the ca tastrophe, fell down dead ; one of his sons escaped immediate death, but was taken up in a very alarming state. A letter from Athens states, that the members of the Holy Synod of that city had, in the first instance, refused to take the oath to the Constitution ; but that M. Mavrocordato, the President of the Council of Ministers, having declared that if they did not take the oath within the space of twenty-four hears he would dissolve the Synod andproceed to a new elec tion, all the bishops obeyed the injunction. MAW AND POLICZ. In the Court of Common Pleas Messrs. Ellis and Hicks. parish officers of Clerkenwell, obtained a rule for a new trial of the case in which a verdict was given against them with beavfdamages, for confining for a short time the person of a Mr. Elliott, an attorney and a lunatic. The grounds of the application were, that the verdict was against evidence, and tli;it. the damages were excessive. The Lord Mayor held a conference at the Mansion House with Mr. Goldham, the clerk of Billingsgate market, on the means of preventing the fearful overcrowding of passengers on board the Greenwich steamers that may be expected during the coming fair. There is every reason to fear some terrible catastrophe, accompanied with great loss of life, in consequence of the enm mous traffic on the River, and the overcrowded state of the boats, into which the public rush with a heedless disregard of their own safety, amounting almost to insanity. Cautionary placards to the masters of the boats are to be distributed, but the power of the civic authorities to repress the evil is very imperfect. Mr. Reeve, a pawnbroker, in Redcross-street, Cripplegate, was charged at Guildhall with haying taken threepence in terest for the loan of three shillings for four months, instead of twopence-halfpenny, the proper interest, if the calculation be made not month by month, but for the whole number of days ; and not to the nearest farthing, or fourths of a penny, but to the tenth of a penny, a nicety required to be observed by pawnbrokers, according to a legal decision of Lord Den man. The complaint was lodged by a common informer, whose evidence was found so unworthy of belief, that the summons was dismissed, and he himself turned out of the Court. Martin Noed, gold-lapper, of St. John's-square, Clerken• well, was charged at Clerkenwell police-office, by Martin Noed, his son, a fine-looking, intelligent boy,. between 12 and 13 years of age, with having cruelly assaulted him. The parish officers of Clerkenwell were in attendance to prosecute the case. The evidence disclosed a shocking course of vin dictive and causeless brutality on the part of the father. Mr. Greenwood committed tke prisoner ti take his trial at the Middlesex Sessions, intimating that he would accept bail for his appearance, himself in 1001., and two sureties in 501. each. A young man of very respectable appearance, who gave his name Daniel Wright, but refused to state where lie re sided, was, together with a showily -dressed female, named Sarah Cox, charged at Marylebene with having, by means of a forged cheque, uttered by him, obtained 3901. from the banking-house ol Sir Claude Scott and Co.,Cavendish-square, and the latter on suspicion of being an accessory after the fact. Wright was remanded, but the female was discharged. Carl Christoph Kipp, second cabin steward of the Batavier steamer, appeared at Lambeth-street, to answer to an infor mation charging him with smuggling 221bs. of foreign ma nufactured tobacco, for which he was liable to a penalty of 100/. He was convicted in the full penalty, and ordered to be imprisoned till it should be paid. Two fashionably-dressed men, named Daniel Rodriguez, alias Rogers, said to be a Portuguese Jew, and Charles Ste wart, aScotchman, were charged at Worship-street with bur glariously breaking into the, premises of Mr. Peter Hay, a jeweller and watchmaker, in Leith-street, Edinburgh, and carrying off plate, jewellery, and watches, of the value of more than 1,5001, A reward had been offered for the appre hension of the parties committing the robbery, and the Ma gistrate being satisfied as to their being the men, remanded them for a week. COMM —PASTECONABLZ. At Windsor the bells of the Royal Chapel of St. George and the parish church rung merry peals in honour of the Queen's birthday at intervals, from an early hour in the morning until the close of the day. At one o'clock a royal salute was tired frost the borough ordnance. There was a public dinner at the Royal Adelaide Hotel, and in the evening the houses of the Royal tradesmen were illuminated. The Duke and Duchess of Argyll and Lady Emma Camp bell are expected to arrive in Connaught-place West, early in the ensuing month, from Naples. The Duke - of Devonshire left Devonshire House on Friday morning, for Bolton Abbey, the Noble Duke's seat in York shire. His Grace returns to town after the holidays. The Marquis Conyngham, the Earl of Tyrconnel, Capt. C. N. Williams, Mr. Smith Pigot, Mr. Meiklam, &c., have ordered their respective yachts to be got ready for sea at Cowes, where many'of the yacht squadron have already ar rived at the station. The Countess de St. Aulaire, we hear, quits the French Embassy early in June for Paris, in order to pass some months in France. His Excellency does not contemplate -leaving this country on temporary absence before August. Countess Cadogan and Ladies Augusta and Honoria Cado gan arrived at the family residence, in Piccadilly, late on Thursday' night from Italy. The Noble Earl, shortly before the Countess and daughters left Rome, departed for Naples, and purposed making a hasty tour through Sicily. He is ex pected home in the course of next week. The Earl of Lichfield, who has been again suffering from gout at Graefenberg, is convalescent. MISCELLANEOUS. On Friday forenoon a numerous meeting of the copyholders and resident gentry of the manor of Hampstead took place at the Parochial Committee- rooms, New End, for the purpose of considering the provisions of a Bill recently introducted into Parliament for the purpose of enabling Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, the lord of the manor, to effect the sale of certain lands, the result of which would be the destruction and in closure of Hampstead-heath. Mr. S. Hoare, the banker, was in the chair. After some brief observations from Mr. Hoare, the Rev. Mr. Burgh, and others, a petition to Parliament against the Bill was adopted, and a Committee was appointed to oppose the measure in every stage. The Dowager-Countess of - Essex has enlivened the beau monde by a series of dramatic entertainments, at her Lady ship's residence, in Belgrave-square. On Thursday last, and on the previous Thursday, there was a representation, on each occasion about 100 fashionables assembling to witness the performances. The nomination of candidates for South Lancashire took place at Newton on Friday, when a poll was demanded on the part of Mr. Brown. The poll will commence this morn ing. and close to-morrow afternoon. The Bill before Parliament (brought in by Mr. Stafford O'Brien and Mr. Beckett Denison) for prohibiting the hold ing of vestries in paish churches, provides that vestries shall not be held in churches, but in some other convenient place, to be named by a vestry meeting, to be hired or rented by the parish. All proceedings contrary to this to be null and void. It appears from a Parliamentary return just printed that the amount of duty on patent medicines, in the ten years ending on the sth January, 1844, was on an average nearly 30,0001. a year. Since the commencement of last winter, scarcely a week has passed without the commission of one or more incendiary outrages in Suffolk. Many have been attended with serious loss of . property, and all, from the derangement of husbandry operations, must lessen the demand for labour. In the month of May these horrible crimes seem to be on the increase. Several associations are in the course of formation for the pro tection of property against incendiaries. NATIrAti3ENEFIT SOCIETY and MUTUAL INSURANCE INSTITUTION FOR THE MIDDLE - CLASSES. The new Currency measure and the Bill for future Joint - stock Companies, while they will have the highly desirable effect of checking mushroom projects and projectors, will pro- . mote sound and honest undertakings fur the public good, or the good of particular classei, the Institution which is low in the course of formation, under the title of , " The Tradesman's and General Mutual Life Insurance Institution, and National Benefit Society," appears from the prospectus to be calculated to effect a great desideratum for the middle classes. We have often wondered Why the principle of benefit societies has not been appliedln persons and families, a step above mere work ing men. 'That - the ' .system of Troviding for sickness, and other evihilo which "alt flesh is heir," bas been, in spite of monstrous druvrticks; eminently advantageous, is proved by its contimied: popularity and almost universal application among the. onerati4 classes . ; yet in how Many . cases is tha t system rendered unavailable, or positively pernicious, owing to the present clefectsZ., According to the plan now sue;- guested for tradesmen:lnd Ohersd limited means, there ct.n be no drunkenness, as there mill ie neither weekly, monthl y, nor annual orgies; andfss ,for*shamming Abraham" to g et hold 'of "thefunds, the Petty esti zouly cheat himself, for all payments are to be made , out of his own particular invest ments. In the Insurance department, as this is to bfi a mutual office, no person can be profited save the memt ers themselves—there are no hungry shareholders to seize annual dividends, often out of the very capital, s 6 .as to raise• the price of shares, with which they part, leaving the ultiu mate buyer,' and the original assured, swindled and, peril aps, ruined alike. Altogether this appears to be a sound and use ful Joint-stock Company (for it is one) of modern ti mes. "Measures, however, without men," as Lord Bacon i iays, "are dead images." We shall look with some solicitor le to see the names associated with this national undertaking . It requires no pompous patrons as decoy ducks, inasmue h as there can be no plunder—honesty and energy will di all ; and from whit we have heard, we entertain no doubt that neither will be found wanting. SERIOUS ROBBERY. LIVERPOOL, THUR MAY EVENING.—The out-door clerk of the Royal, Bank of )t.iver pool was robbed, in the .course of to-day, of notes o the amount of 1,5001., which he had just obtained fro m the Branch Bank of England, and it is suipposed that he ha d been watched from there.

Good policy this, and per fectly safe too. The decrease in the amount of the immense stock of bullion is too insignificant to attract attention. Foreign grain is, however, coming in freely, and this will require specie in liquidation to some extent, probably before the harvest, to the extent of a million sterling or over. A brisk market has prevailed for most of the Stocks to day. Consols for Money, and the Account have been at 994 a, and Reduced Annuities at 981. Bank Stock has marked 1984 for the Account, and 198 for Money. Exche quer Bills are at 745. 72.. premium. India stock at 2854, and the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1024 a A shade of improvement must be quoted in the Foreign Market. Spanish Three per Cents. have been sold at 354, and the Five per Cents. at 241. The Dutch Five per Cents. are at 1004 ; Austrian, at 1134 ; Chilian, Deferred, at 544 ; and Mexican, at 31.11 . The principal feature in the Railway Share Market, is a fall in the London and Birmingham to 123 premium. In the other Shares the alterations have been slight this morning. Santiago de Cuba Shares have receded to 414 premium ; Bolanos Scrip has been sold at 7, the United Mexican Mines at 4, and Union Bank of London Shares at 124, or 24 pre mium the share.

DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, MAY 22.—The King arrived at Brus sels this afternoon, at half-past five o'clock, end im mediately went to Lacken. The King of Saxony is to leave Dresden on the 25th, and to arrive at Brussels on the 27th. A German journal announces, on the authority of recent accounts from St. Petersburgh, that the Em peror Nicholas will go, at the beginning of July, to Carlsbad, where there will be important negotiations. A French Ministerial journal contains this state ment in the following terms :—" The Emperor of Russia, the Emperor of Austria, and the King of Prussia are to go to Carlsbad at the end of the month of June. The storm which raged on Sunday night did con siderable damage in several parts of the country about Namur. The crops have suffered severely ; whole fields are laid, since which there have been high winds and incessant rain ; and there is reason to fear great disasters. The Chamiser continued the debate on the several questions put by M. Dumortier, and by the Minister of the Interior. It decided, Ist. That differential duties shall be established in favour of the flag and the place or origin. - 2d, That, with some exceptions, they shall be for the first year only half on certain raw materials. 3d. That the productions of Asia, Africa, and America coming to Belgium, direct from the place where they are produced, and under the flag of the countries to which they belong, or from which they come, shall be admitted on the same terms as under the Belgian flag, when that flag shall be treated in those cases on the same footing as the national flag, and that to establish this reciprocity, which shall not exist of right, nothing more shall be necessary than a decision of the Government. MAY 23.—T0-day the Chamber decided in the affirmative, three questions relative to the entrepots moved by the Minister of the interior. Ist. Teat there shall be an intermediate category for certain articles coming from the place where they are produced on this side of Cape Horn, and of the Cape of Good Hope. 2d. That there shall be an assimilation to articles coming from the place where they are produced for certain articles coming from the entrepOts beyond Cape Horn. 3d. The same assimilation for certain articles com ing from the entrepOts beyond the Cape of Good Hope. A confused discussion then arose on the question of the European entrepots, and then M. Delfosse asked that the question should be put whether exceptions should be made in favour of the Dutch entrepots. The Minister of the Interior declared, that if that question were to be discussed, he should demand a secret convention. The question was then decided in the affirmative, as it had been moved by the Minister, that is to say, that there shall be for an indefinite term an exception in favour of the entrepOts of the Mediterranean, the Baltic, and Holland, on certain articles to be hereinafter specified. The application to be discussed in a Secret Committee. To-morrow the Chamber will commence the dis cussion of the tariff. AMSTERDAM, MAY 22.—We learn from the Hague, that the Commissioners for the projected railway be tween Maestricht and Aix-la• Chapelle have arrived at the Hague, in order to learn from his Excellency, the Minister of Finance, whether they. may hope to obtain the Royal license required for undertakings of this nature. It appears that the 'subscription of the capital necessary for the purpose is full, and there fore that the Government would not have to add to the fund; but the Company_ which undertakes to construct and work this railway wishes that the State should cede to it, for a certain number of years (ninety it is said), the coal-mines of Kerkrade, in the Duchy of Limburg, belonging to the State, as a guarantee for a minimum of interest; at the expira tion of that time the State would recover the posses sion of its mines, and the railway would become the public property.—Neeive .Rotterdamsche Courant. TUE HAGUE, MAY 24.—His Excellency the Mi nister of Finance has communicated to the States- General the result of the subscription to the voluntary loan, and the gratuitous donations decreed by virtue of the law of the 6th of March last. The first in stalment on the eighth part of the 1:17,0.00,00f. would amount to 14,087,5000 f.. 25c. The sum actually paid in, up to the 18th of May, inclusive, is 28,815,370 florins. PETERSEURGH ' MAY I.—The Emperor has issued an Ukase which (as already in the. Guards), the punishment of the bastinado is prohibited in the whole army, except in case of extraordinary criminality, and that, id such cases, the punishment is not to be inflicted at the discretion of the colonel of the regi ment, but by virtue of a sentence pronounced by a court-martial. Those persons who act against those orders are to be severely punished.
