PROVINCE OF CANADA. Treasury Chambers, April 7, 1845. Whereas, by an Act passed in the sixth year of her Majesty's reign, intituled "An Act for guaranteeing the Payment of the Interest ou a Loan of 1,500,0001, to be raised by the Province of Canada," her Majesty was empowered to guarantee the payment of the Inte rest on any Loan, to any amount, not exceeding 1,500,0001., which might be raised for the service of the Province of Canada, under any Act to be passed by the Legislature of the said Province, in the manner and under the conditions in the said Act mentioned; — And whereas, by an Act of the Legislature of the Province of Canada, intituled "An Act to authorise the raising, by way of Loan, in England, the sum of 1,500,0001. sterling, for the Construction and Com pletion of certain Public Works in Canada," her Ma jesty is empowered to borrow, with the guarantee aforesaid, the said sum of 1,500,0001. And whereas her Majesty has been pleased, by war rant, to appoint any three or more of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, to borrow, by debentures, such sums as may be from time to time required for the service of tho said Province, not exceeding in the whole the said sum of 1,500,0001; — This is to give Notice, that the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury will be ready to dispose of Debenture , or Bonds, to the am milt of 200,0001.; and that Tenders for the purchase of the same, addressed to the Secretary to the Treasury, el ith the words " Tender for Canada Debentures " written on the outside, will be received at the Treasury, at any time previously to Two o'clock in the afternoon on Fr:day next, the 11th of April. The Tenders must state at length the sums proposed to be paid for each 1001. contained in the Debentures, with the name and address of the party. No Tender will be accepted for any sum less than 5,0001. The Bonds will be redeemable at the expiration of Twenty Years from the Ist of April, 1845, and will bear interest from the said Ist of April, 1845, until re deemed, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly at the Bank of England, on the Ist day of October and Ist day of April. The Bonds will be made out in sums of 500/. each. One-half of the sum tendered and accepted will be payable at the Bank of England, on Tuesday, the 22d day of April, instant, when a scrip receipt for the same will be given to the party, and on the payment of the other half, on or before Tuesday the 6th day of May, 1845, the Debentures will be delivered. The Tenders will be opened in the presence of the Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, and of any of the parties tendering, who may attend for that purpose at the Treasury, on Friday next, at Two o'clock : and previously to the opening of the Tenders, the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury will place in the hands of the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England, a sealed paper, containing the lowest price per cent., which their Lordships would feel that they would be justified in receiving for the Debentures. The Tenders will be all opened at the same time, when a list will be made of them, and a preference will be given successively to the highest Tenders above the price in the sealed paper ; and if such Tenders should in theis aggregate exceed the amount of 200,0001., the excess above that amount will be struck off the least advanta geous of those Tenders. In the case of equality of Tenders, in respect of the premium per cent., and their amounting together to more than the suns required, the amount of debentures will be divided in proportion to the amount of Tenders. Notice will be given to the party or parties whose Tenders are accepted, and they will be requested to at tend at the Treasury at an appointed time, to sign the contract for the debentures.

The PROPRIETORS of the WEEKLY DISPATCH, ever foremost Ln furnishing full details of important events, and desirous of meeting the views of an anxious Public, purpose giving the fidlest particulars relating to the TRIAL of THOMAS HENRY HOCE.ER, for the HORRIBLE MURDER of Mr. DELARUE at Hampstead, and in order that every incident may be fully reported, the " DISPATCH" of NEXT SUNDAY, April 13, will be accompanied by Four Extra Pages, as a SUPPLEMENT, and will consequently contain a most copious and interesting account of all the proceedings. THE WEEKLY DISPATCH, by fearlessly advocating popular rights, has acquired the title of THE PEOPLE'S LEADING JOURNAL, and obtained a circulation unprecedented in the history of Newspapers. Sensible of this im portant position, and being desirous of maintaining it, the Proprietors intend, on and after SATURDAY, the 20th of APRIL, to publish an Edition which will leave London by the Saturday morning early Railway Trains, so that the " Dispatch " may reach places at a dis tance of 200 or 250 miles from the Metropolis in the afternoon and evening of the same day. This Edition will contain the London Markets of the week, including those which are held on Friday, together with every interesting occurrence up to the last moment of publication ; also the spirited letters of PUBLICOLA, CAUSTIC, and CENSORIUS, and frequent original Poems by ELIZA COOK. Orders will be received for this popular journal by every News Agent in the Kingdom, and by Mr. Wood, at the " Dispatch" office, 139, Fleet-street, London. Subscribers who wish to avail themselves of this arrangement, are requested to notify immediately, to the respective Agents who supply them, their desire to be furnished with the early Edition. Now ready, in 3 vols., with Plates, price 31s. 6d. bound. THE HISTORY OF MAR GAR E T CATC HPOLE, A SUFFOLK GIRL. " Truth is stranger than fiction. We have here a veritable his tory, with incidents more startling and extraordinary than are to be found in any romance with which we are acquainted."—Norfolk Chronicle. Henry Colburn, Publisher 13, Great Marlborough-street. THIRD EDITION OF ~ THE SUN." ire have received many complaints from Subscribers who are frequently disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is Will further aggravated by an extra charge of a haVpenny (the Post :trice fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition. !Yds Edition contains the Latest News: Parliamentary Debates up to a 4isarter 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, tkc. d-c.—The Betting at Tattersall's on Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds — The Proceedings 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 TvrEtvz novas IN ADVANCE, a matter of importance Cs those who want early intelligence. In those places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night, the "MORNING SUN," containing 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 maul neglect is experienced, ice recommend parties to write to " The Sun" office, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their representations.

The official returns of the Revenue for the year and quarter, ending on Saturday, the sth inst., like those of the preceding year and quarter, are highly satisfactory. In all the principal departments, with the solitary exception of the Property-tax, there is a considerable increase on the year. In the Crown Lands and Miscellaneous there is a decrease, but the revenue from these sources is of an uncertain and (accidental character, and forms no test whatever of the trade, commerce, and wealth of the country. At one season, for instance, Sycee silver, varying from half a million to a million sterling, is received and classed under the head of Miscellaneous ; at an other not a penny is paid into the Exchequer; and the Crown Lands vary in a similar manner, though not to such an extent. The following are the items of increase on the year :—Customs, 718,602/. ; Excise, 344,784/. ; Stamps, 242,8001.; Taxes, 25,2751.; and Post-office, 57,0001. The de crease is : Property-tax, 252,439/. ; Crown Lands, 22,500/. ; and Miscellaneous, 67,183/. ; thus showing an increase on the year, including im prest and other moneys, and repayments of advances, of 1,752,7881., and a decrease of 342,062/., leaving for the year a total increase of 1,410,7261. The increase on the quarter is equally satisfactory, notwithstanding a decrease in the Customs to the amount of 201,9411 This may be attributed entirely to the anticipated new tariff, as the least possible quantity of articles paying Customs duty would be taken out of bond till the reduction and abolition of duties would come into operation. In the Property-tax there is also a decrease on the quarter, amounting to 87,148/., and 30,0001. for Crown Lands—making a total of 319,0891., while in other departments the increase for ,the quarter is— Excise, 64,7961.; Stamps, 103,4501.; Taxes, 1,2601.; Post-office, 4,0001., and Miscellaneous, 373,724/.; Total, with imprest and.other moneys, and repayment of advances, 891,2541., leaving an increase on the qusrter of 572,1651. It thus appears, that with all the reductions in the Customs already in operation, the revenue of that department still goes on increasing, as well as the revenue of the Excise, the Post-office, and the Taxes ; and we may, therefore, confidently trust that when trade is left still more free by the abolition of duties on at least 400 different import articles, with the reductions'of duty on glass, auctions, &c., the result will be the same. The next half year, however, will be looked forward to with great in terest. The new system will by that time have a fair trial, and we fondly cherish the hope that the monopolists will then see by the result the errors of their policy, and support the reforming Minister in putting an end to all exorbitant and ruinous duties. The debate in the House of Lords, on Friday evening last, was of a character, an interest, an importance far, indeed, above the average of the discussions in that assembly. It may wall onffice for a text to the future historian, who would trace the history of our past financial policy to the results exhibited in our present fiscal condition. It might have sufficed for a salutary discouragement to Sir R. PEEL — had the forms and Standing Orders of Par- liamentary business permitted the business of taxa tion to be originated in the Upper instead of the Lower House—when he first contemplated the proposi tion, in 1842, of the property and income-tax. Such a case, in our opinion, has been made out by two of the highest authorities in the Lords against the prin ciple, and to demonstrate the practical injustice of a measure that we have had such frequent occasion to denounce in all its bearings, as to leave it no matter of doubt that, had it been addressed to a House of Commons not controlled by a slavish Ministerial majority, but able and willing to act upon their o wn consc i ent i ous conv i c ti ons , the effect would have been to rescue the country from the position in which the event of Friday last has left her. The Income-tax Bill has passed a third reading in the Lords ' • t a oen ndd‘ly.e, are now s a ddl e d—Ministers do not attempt permanently, although ostensibly for a very limited term—with one of the most disgrace ful and oppressi ve burdens eve r Pied l a ‘ n r d e f b r y ee n p o eo m pl e e a , n i s n i t n h t e e t n h d irt t i o eth im ye ar taoee t o a ir ROBER T PEEL, upon a great profound into peace. B ER su supreme h e e PEEL, who has himself worked h l is u way offici‘l power from the ranks of the people , would willingly af fl ict them with any visitation either oppressive or disgraceful. It is the instinctive mo rality of Ministers, as well as of most " Mammalia," not to eat one another. Dogs do not prey upen dogs ; and one cannot imagine a man of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S associations and sympathies disposed to devour the commonalty. But a man may take any line of road that is to be found in the vast country of political experiment, and yet ar rive at the very point which his course has been most carefully shaped to avoid. Giving Sir ROBERT PEEL full credit for good intentions, we fear that they TER SUN ) LONDON, MONDAY EVP,NI'N'nr, APRIL 7, lea, which was planted in their way with six pieces of cannon. The soldiers of Lucerne, however, showed so little courage, I that they were soon put to flight. The column W:IS to ice a,..;ain attacked in the same manner, and twice beat the enemy back. without cauiing him much loss, it is true, since he always contrived to keep himself at a respectful distance. The vanguard of the column has arrived at Zofinguen, but the main body is still engaged. As to the second column, no one knows what has become of it ; but it is presumed that it has retired into the Canton of Berne." Tho Zurich Gazette of the 2d confirms the intern gence : " The Government received yesterday evening from 1,-a -cerne the bulletin of the State Gazette, with the following details. On the 31st ult. the conflict was suspended until the following day. Yesterday the fight recommenced on the heights which surround the town. The invaders were re pulsed, and left 600 men on the field of battle. Several offi cers and soldiers were taken prisoners. The contingents of Obwalden and Niedwalden (900 strong) displayed great courage on the bridge of Emme. In the evening troops arrived from Zug. and took part in the conflict, as did also a battalion of infantry and two companies of arequebusiers from Uri. The troops of Lucerne had three killed and several wounded. Some persons who have arrived from Lucerne infor in us that the volunteers who had been made prisoners by the troops of Lucerne have been cruelly treated. A great num ber of them were massacred by the soldiers without any at tempt being made by the officers to prevent it. The hos pitals are filled with wounded. Eight pieces of cannon and several ammunition waggons were taken from the volun teers. Although the free corps had been repulsed on seve ral points, they had succeeded in opening the road to Lu cerne on the night of the 31st ult., but after the arrival of the contingents of Uri and Zug, they were attacked and forced to retreat. It is said that the Councillor Bauman has been killed, and Dr. Knobel taken or wounded. Colonel Donatz has arrived here, and assumed the command of the federal army, part of which will march toward Russaud, the frontier of Argaud." The route appears to have been complete. The vo lunteers fled in all directions to their respective homes. On the 4th no further movements had taken place. The Extraordinary Diet is convoked with the least possible delay, and was expected to meet on the sth inst. M. KRUDENER, the Russian Envoy in Switzerland, addressed on the 27th ult. a note to the President of the Diet, in similar terms to those of the other foreign States. His Excellency thus concludes : hive not brought him into any better or more fortunate position—(we mean always fur the nation) — than this. To return, however, to the debate of Friday, we find two speeches reported that are most remark able for their common-place character, and their utter want of - force and efficiency ; and two, as much distinguished, on the other hand, by the sound ness of their views, the perspicuity of their state ments, the neatness of their argument, and the sagacity of their deductions. In the former category we must rank the speeches of the Earl of RIPON and Lord STANLEY ; in the latter our readers will have already classed those of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE and Lord ASHBURTON. The speech of Lord Raross, on proposing the third reading of the Bill, we cannot help describing as every way beneath the occasion. The Noble Earl did not seem to imagine that any extraordinary painstaking was necessary to vindicate to the Peers the very extra ordinary impost which his colleagues had committed themselves to the course of propounding for a further term of experimenton the public forbearance or apathy. His address was accordingly much below even the ordi nary run of downright official mediocrity and prosing common-place. Lord STANLEY'S auxiliary demon stration, although relieved by a few touches of that constitutional vivacity which not even the heavy artillery of figures can repress, was yet as feeble and unfortunate as his efforts on such service are ever sure to be. He established the case of hardship with regard to those whose com plaints he seemed to think were without foundation ; and he damaged the defences, such as they were, which his leader, Lord RIPON, had set up for the pro priety of the tax and its continuance. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE completely routed the whole array of argument which had been brought into the field to maintain the principle of that tax. Lord ASHBURTON Still more effectually demolished the positions upon which the defence of its practical working had been at - tempted. The result, however, of the evening was, that the Ministerial movement was accomplished. The former of these Peers observed, with great force, that on former occasions this obnoxious scheme had been advocated on grounds far more intelligible than any which Sir R. PEEL had yet attempted to assign. When, at the close of the war of 1815, Lord LIVERPOOL invoked the Parliament to continue the then existing property-tax, he did so on the plea that it was necessary he should have the means of winding up the expenses of that war to meet the burdens of which it had been expressly imposed. But the House of Commons indignantly resisted his appeal, and the tax was at once extinguished. Two other grounds on which the tax had now been defended were, that it was necessary to be raised in order to pay the interest on the public debt, and to enable Government to keep faith with the public creditor ; and again, that it was a means of raising the revenue above all other means of direct taxation. In exhibiting the fallacy of both these assumptions, Lord LANSDOWNE showed that Sir ROBERT PEEL had never bean in a condition to plead such an exigency as the former inferred; and he dis puted very forcibly the soundness of any theory which turned upon direct taxation in dealing with income. A more intelligent exposition of sound financial principles than that comprised in Lord LANSDOWNE'S address it has not been our fortune to peruse. The mode in which he played off the solemn protest of the Sir ROBERT PEEL of 1840, in his penultimate stage of opposition against the suggestion of an income-tax by the Government of that, day, to snake good a deficiency of income, against the equally solemn appeals of the Sir Ro- RERT PEEL, in the zenith of official power, in 1845, was capital—it was turning the enemy's guns upon himself after the most approved tactics of the Premier himself. But in the speech of Lord ASHBURTON, the extensive practical knowledge, the acute observa tion, and the experienced judgment of one of the ablest authorities that can be invoked on such a question, we find not only a clear detail of the actual operation of the Income-tax on various classes upon whom it is levied—of its injustice, inequality, and oppression ; but also the causes of the necessity which whether truly or falsely, have been relied upon to justify the resort to it. We are gratified to find, that Lord ASHBURTON has thus strongly and distinctly recorded his objections to the tax in question on grounds both of principle and of expediency. The most important point established in his argument appears to be, that in all the thirty years of peace, since 1815, little or nothing has been done towards the reduction of the principal of the debt. This omission he flatly charges as a normal error in the financial policy of the present Administra tion, as well as in that of its predecessors. He shows that the vaunted financial operations of Chancellors of the Exchequer have been limited to reducing the mere rate of interest, not the sum,of our enormous debt, which he identifies with the main principle of whatever weakness is occasionally experienced in the working of our Government and the excessive inconveniences awl embarrassments to which public and private credit have been occasionally exposed, without any apparent adequate cause for such convulsions. In the event of a war we must have recourse, notwith standing our unexampled condition of public prospe rity, to borrowing, and that borrowing, from the neglect of diminishing the capital of the debt, we could not manage except on terms that would be sig nally disadvantageous. There may be little chance of his Lorship carrying with him a majority of his countrymen in the favour with which he affects to regard the institution and operation of a Sinking Fund ; but we are quite certain that that majority would concur with us in desiring to see the philo sophy of finance, as expounded by Lord LANSDOWNE exemplified in a practical administration of the na tional resources, and a management of the national liabilities on the bases suggested by Lord ASH.. BURTON. !' Ft V E W S. "You will not mistake the nature and spirit of the obser vations which I have the honour to submit to you.

My Government has directed me, Monsieur le President, to lay expressly before the eyes of the authorities and parties in Switzerland, the manner in which this affair ought to be looked at, and particularly to point out the deplorable conse quences which must result from it, if better councils, and more in conformity with legal order and justice, and respond ing better to the sentiments which ought to exist between the Confederal Slates, should not prevail in your country. I fulfil a painful duty. but in the motives which have imposed it on me, there is no other intention on the part of my august Sovereign, the Emperor, than to render Switzerland attentive to the dangers which she is incurring, end, if it be still pos -1 sible, to preserve her from them." The Peninsular and Mediterranean mails have been received, but they bring no news of importance. The dates are Cairo, March 19 ; Gibraltar, 29; and Cadiz, 30 ; Lisbon, April 1. The Viceroy of EGYPT arrived at Cairo on the 12th from his tour in Upper Egypt. IBRAIHM PACUA has been dan gerously ill, but is now better.

The Gazette of the latter date publishes an arrangement with the Bank of San Fernando for the ad vance of 180,000,000 reals to be applied to the wants of the State during April, May, and June, at the rate of sixty millions per month. The security upon which the credit is given tor the month of April c3nsists of public effects, producing at the current price from twelve to fifteen millions in cash, and twenty millions in deliga tions upon quicksilver.

The Paris papers are chiefly accupied with the affairs of Switzerland, which excite much interest. Both Chambers met on Saturday. The Peers were still occu pied in discussing the Colonial . Bill relative to the state of slavery, but had come to no vote on the question of emancipation. In the Chamber of Deputies, an addi tional Tariff Bill was under consideration. The new law fur raising the duty on oleaginous seeds had created great dissastisfaction at At arseilles. At a general meeting of the oil manufactureri , it was unanimously resolved that, in consequence of the ruinous measure lately passed by the Chamber of De puties, respecting the import duty on sesame, it was im possible to carry on their business ; and that, conse quently, their mills should be stopped, their workmen discharged, and that all the manufacturers without ex ception should go immediately up to Paris, and appeal to the Chamber of Peers against the decision of the Deputies. The Bill for arming the fortifications of Paris con tinues to meet witb opposition. About seventy officers of the National Guard have petitioned against it, and the list is daily increasing. The Ministry, however, have resolved to check this attempt at insubordina tion. On the report of General JAQUEMINOT, the Commandant of that corps, the officers who signed the protest against the arming of the fortifications are to be brought before a Court of Discipline, and they are, in the meantime, suspended from their functions.

First llt s h.t Lowest Last ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The accounts from Switzerland, which are to the 4th instant, are highly important. We stated on Saturday, on the authority of the Journal des Debuts, that the vo lunteers and the refugees from Lucerne had attacked that town on the Ist of April, and, after losing from 800 to 1,000 men, had obtained possession of the place. The intelligence respecting the great loss of life unfor tunately turns out to be true, but the assailants failing in their attacks, were put to flight by the Lucerne troops under General SONNENBERG, and completely routed with the loss of their artillery. An official bulletin, published by the Government of Lucerne, dated the Ist instant, announces the defeat of the free corps, who had left more than 600 men on the field of battle before the gates. A letter from Berne, dated April 2, gives the following account of this lamentable affair : " The corps francs have been completely beaten. General Sonnenberg allowed them to advance till they got close to Lucerne, the suburbs of which place had been hastily forti fied. lle their attacked them with three companies of the Carabineers of Unterwalden, who at once threw the advanc ing columns into confusion, and, after completely putting them to the rout, it succeeded in capturing the whole of the artillery, and a large number of horses. The inhabitants of the country, who had allowed the corps francs to pass through their districts unmolested, had risen en masse in the rear of the corps francs. The troops from Argau, which had started from Zotinguen, but had not advanced so far as the others, succeeded in effecting a retreat, carrying two cannon along with them. The number of men killed and wounded is calculated at a thousand, but this is merely a guess, as the official accounts are not yet published." Price. Price. Price. Price.

A part of the expedition has just returned, and we have obtained the following details from an eye witness, who came in with the first column. The expedition set out in the night of Sunday. When at three leagues from Zofinguen they were attacked by a battalion con cealed in the forest. The riflemen soon beat them off. They , continued to advance in good order, but under continual as saults, as far as Ettiswyl, where they were joined by a column that came from Berne. At Russwyl the army divided ; one column moving on towards the principal bridge over the Emme, and the other went to the right, and passed the Emme at Wortheastein. It appears that there was some neglect in keeping up the communication between !the two corps, and that hence arose all their disasters. The left column, which has returned, reached the Emme-bridge about six o clock. It was known that this bridge had been fortified and under mined, and that every other measure for its defence had been taken. Consequently the column halted as soon as it came within view of the bridge. Without being impeded by tke battery, which opened, and kept up an incessant fire, or by the shots of the riflemen placed in ambush behind trees, shrubs, and other shelter, the leader ordered 100 of his rifle men to ford the river, and they did so without any great loss. On reaching the other side of the water the riflemen cleared the bridge, and the Lucerne soldiers were driven in confusion back into the town. The bridge, which had been broken down, was soon restored, and the column which had advanced towards the town took post on the height above it, after having cleared them of the sharp-shooters who had endeavoured to defend them. Here they waited for ac counts of the other column. Night bad now come on, and the invading troops began to be discouraged, the whole c o o p Lra e g d e u t p h ( e m ir t ro be e m n,. column, having been marching and fighting for twenty-four hours, without scarcely any respite, was exhausted with fa tigue.

The mail train left York a few minutes later than its time (half-past six o'clock), as a great. number of passengers were waiting to proc eed by it. It had two engines attached t o it, an d proceeded at a rapid rate. When it reached Burton Salmon, the Hull and Selby train was just moving forward, but had scarcely left the station. The manager at the station states that he was engaged with needful arrangements, expecting the Hull train, and had not had time t o s h ow any signal to the next train, which, being ten m i nutes b efore its time, h e did not then expect. The driver of th e Y or k train w hi s tled very loudly for a man, said to be Mr. Hewitt, French Consul at Hull, left York in the un f ortunate smashed coup e, b u t had. for what reason he scarc e l y knew, got out of it, and enter ed another carriage at th e Tad.mster station, and thus sa ved his life. The passengers in the second-class carriage, which mounted the carriage truck, were considerably bruised, but no life was lost, and no bones appea r to h ave b e en broken, which indeed seems almost mi racu l ous. The runawa y eng ine stopped only when the steam and v.ater were exhausted. It passed Nor wanton at a speed supposed to be about sixty miles an hour, and from this station an engine was sent in pursuit. The York train was put back a s f ar a s Milford, when it got upon the up rails, and was put upon i ts proper t rac k a short dis tance above Burton Salmon, and passed the disabled Hull train, and reached Masborough in safety about half-past ten o'clock.—Sheffield Independ en t.

The House sat to-day for the first time to hear appeals since the termination of the Easter recess. The Peers pre sent were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Cot teeham, Lord Langdale, and Lord Campbell. ROBERT ALLEN (A PAUPER) 'V. MTHERSON, TOSXRXNS, AND THOMAS ALLEN. The arguments of this appeal from the decision of the Lord Chancellor, reversing a judgment of the Master of the Rolls, which were only partly heard before the Easter recess, were resumed this morning at eleven o'clock. The case is one of a rather singular nature, and the facts may be thus stated :—John Allen, of Highbury-place, Islington, by his will, dated 11th December, 1834, gave and bequeathed differ ent sums of money to various relatives, of whom the plaintiff was one. By the will he appointed M‘Pherson and Tomkins his executors. He afterwards made nine codicils to his will. The fourth codicil was in the following words :--" Whereas I am desirous in the event of my daughter Susannah Evans dying in the lifetime of her husband, George Evans, to in crease the provisions hereinafter made for the undermentioned persons : I hereby give and bequeath to Susannah Allen, daughter of my late nephew, Thomas Allen, 3,000/. ; Thomas Allen and Robert (the plaintiff), sons of the said Thomas Allen, 2 , 0001 . each ; and to John Allen , son of my n e p hew, Charles Allen, the sum of 2,000/. ; the same moneys to be paid as soon as conveniently after my decease, in ad dition to the legacies hereinbefore mentioned." The testator, by his sixth codicil, dated the 22d of March, 1837, gave and bequeathed to the plaintiff one-fourth of the clear residue of his estate and effects, to and for his own use and benefit. By his seventh codicil the tes tator appointed William Allen (one of the defendants) to be a trustee and executor with his former trustees and execu tors. The testator, by his ninth and last codicil, dated the 3d of October, 1837, after revoking the legacies given by his will and codicils to and in trust for his nephew, Charles Allen, and his children, and the child or children of his deceased nephew, Thomas Allen, declared that they should take no further or other benefit under his will, or any codicil or codicils thereto, save and except as therein mentioned; and he thereby gave unto trustees, therein named, the sum of 1,000/. sterling, upon trust to invest the same, and to receive the dividends, and pay the same unto his nephew, Charles Allen, and his wife, during their lives, and the life of the survivor of them, and after wards to fall into and form part of his residue. And the testator thereby gave and bequeathed unto Nathaniel Bart lett, Susannah Evans, and illiam Allen (one of the de fendants), the sum of 4001. sterling, upon trust, to invest the same in their names, or in the name of the survivor of them, and to pay the same unto Susannah Allen, at such time as she might marry with consent of the said trustees, or the sur vivor of them, or at such time as the said trustees might think proper. And after bequeathing the sum of 300/. to Thomas Allen for his own use and benefit, he thereby directed his ex ecutors, as soon as convenient after bis decease, to purchase and invest in the names of Nathaniel Bartlett, Susannah Evans, and the defendant,William Allen, the sum of 8001. Three per Cent. Consolidated Annuities, for them to receive the dividends there of, and to pay the same by equal weekly instalments unto the plaintiff, during his life, or until he should attempt to sell, or otherwise dispose of the same, and in such case, he declared that the same should fall into the residue of his personal estate. The testator died on the 28th of November, 1837, leaving his nephew, Charles Allen, and his children, and the plaintiff, and Susannah Allen, and Thomas Allen, the chil dren of Thomas Allen deceased, another nephew of the testa tor, him surviving The will and nine codicils were proved defendrnts, Richard MlPherson, Samuel Tomkins, and William Allen, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. The bill stated that the testator was born in 1760, at East Chinnock, Somersetshire, and that at the date of his will he had acquired a fortune of almost 80,000/. as a wholesale provision merchant at Queenhithe. The bill then stated that the testator had cohabited for many years with one Mary Butler, and that during such cohabi tation be had one son by her, the defendant William Allen ; that he afterwards intermarried with her, and that Susannah Allen, afterwatds Susannah Evans, the wife of George Evans, two of the defendants, was the only child of the marriage. The bill further stated that about the year 1824 a separation took place between the defendants Susannah Evans and George Evans, and that Susannah Evans lived with the tes tator thenceforth up to the time of his death. The bill then alleged, that the mind and intellects of the testator, during the latter months of his life, became generally weak, and that he was incapable of managing his own affairs ; that during this time his daughter, Susannah Evans, obtained an absolute power and control over him ; and that in this state of things, having been in formed of the contents of the sixth codicil, she formed a scheme to avail herself of her influence, and in execution of that scheme, she caused a written report of several matters prejudicial to the plaintiff and the rest of his family to be presented to the testator ; that the report was read to the testator; and that the defendant, William Allen, afterwards took it to the solicitor of the testator, who immediately pre • pared the ninth codicil, which was executed the same even ing. The bill then proceeded to state transactions with various circumstances, tending to show that the testator had always manifested a great interest in his native place, East Cbinnock, and in the welfare of the plaintiff, and the other members of his family who lived there ; that he had fre quently expressed himself favourably inclined towards the plaintiff personally and by letter; and that in March, 1837, shortly before the execution of the sixth codicil, the testator assured the plaintiff, and his brother, Thomas Allen, that he had handsomely provided for them. The bill then charged, that the affection of the testator was unabated towards the plaintiff until the defendants, Susannah Evans and William Allen, caused the fraudulent and untrue report to be made to the testator; and that, by such fraudulent and untrue report only, the testator was prevailed upon to execute his ninth codicil, and that be signed it without the contents having been read over to him. The bill then stated that the plaintiff had ineffectually attempted to prevent probate of the ninth codicil in the Ecclesiastical Court, but that lie was confined to the objection which affected the said will and codicils, as an entire testamentary instrument; and it prayed a declaration that the plaintiff was entitled to the several bequests and legacies given to or intended for hint by the testator, in and by his will and other codicils, or anv or either of them, -without revocation thereof by the ninth codicil; and that the defendants, Richard M'Pherson, Samuel Tom king, and William Allen, or Susannah Evans, are or is trus tees or trustee of or to the extent of such bequests and lega cies for the plaintiff ; that an account might be taken of all the personal estate and effects of the testator, possessed by the defendants, or any or either of them, or -any or either of their application thereof; and that the proportion to which the plaintiff might be declared entitled in the legacy of 4,0001. bequeathed by the testator in his will to the plaintiff, and Susannah Allen and Thomas Allen, might be paid the plaintiff out of such estate ; and that the legacy of 2,0001. in the fourth codicil, in case the defendant Susannah Evans should die in the lifetime of her husband, might be invested in the names of trustees fur his benefit, and that the clear residue might be ascertained, and one-third paid and transferred to the plaintiff for his use and benefit. The defendants, Richard M`Pherson, Samuel Tom kins, and William Allen, put in a general demurrer to the bill and the whole of the discovery—first, for want of equity ; and, secondly, for want of parties, because the plaintif f had not made Nathaniel Bartlett a party to the bill, or pray ed process against him . The Master of the Rolls overruled the demurrer, and the respondents appealed against his decision to the Lord Chancellor, who reversed it en the 11th of Nov., 1842. The present was an appeal against that reversal. Mr. KINDERSLEY, before the recess, was heard on the part of the appellant ; and to-day Mr. J. RUSSELL and Mr. J. TURNER were heard fur the re spondents. (The arguments were not concluded when our Evening Edition went to press.) CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY ) The Lord Chancellor did not sit to-day, in consequence of having to attend the House of Lords. The Master of the Rolls having been requested by the Lord Chancellor to attend the House of Lords, did not sit iu his Court to-day. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (13: fore the VICIL-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England, this being :he first seal, sat in his Court in Lincoln's Inn, and took 'no tions to-day, none of which were of interest to the public. (Before the Vice• Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE. ) ELLIS V. GOOD,,ON. His HONOUR having disposed of this lengthy case, which related to West India property, proceeded to hear motions, and having nothing further to proceed with, rose shortly , after twelve o'clock. (Before the Vice-Chancellor WronAm.) His HoNoun gave judgment in Mayhew v. Edwards, and afterwards heard motions, it being the first seal. Mr. William Baker, merchant and general dealer, residing at Oundle, in the county of Northampton, appeared on the summons of Mr. Thomas Thorpton, in the same county ➢lr. Nyas, who appeared for Mr Baker, took an objection to the terms of the summons served on the defendant, inasmuch as it did not contain a proper description of his business and residence. After a short argument, the Learned Commissioner decided the objection to be good, and ordered the defendant to be discharged, the Court allowing him costs. IN RE HENRY STIMSON. This bankrupt, Mr. Henry Stimson, late farmer and publican, at Hockham, in the county of Rutland, cams up for his final order. The granting of the order was op posed by Mr. Boydell, who appeared for Mr. Blackburn, wine merchant, one of the creditors. The defendant was sub jected to a long examination, gone into with the object of showing that the bankrupt had contracted this debt without any reasonable prospect of paying it, and after he had made an assignment of his property to another party ; also that he vexatiously defended an action for the recovery of the same, thus adding a considerable amount of costs to the original debt. - _ . His HONOUR decided that there were not sufficient grounds for the objection, and granted the defendant his final order. Lt HE THOMAS FRENCH. The party in this case, an insolvent, and described in his schedule as a straw-plat dealer, appeared on his petition for the protection of the Court. This was his final examination, and he was opposed by Mr. Sturgeon, on behalf of the prin cipal creditors. The insolvent resides at Redburn, near St. Albans, in the county of Hertford, where the debts were contracted. The insolvent had but recently gone to live there, and gave himself out in the neighbourhood as a man of substance, and kept several dogs, with which he was in the regular habit of sporting. These appearances induced the tradesmen of Redburn to give him credit, the defendant having repeatedly . represented himself as possessed of consi derable money in the funds, which was not the fact. At the very time that he had applied for the protection of that Court he was going about the town flourishing a 1,0001. note, which turned out to be a flash one, and offering to lend money, the object being to obtain goods by these fraudulent representations. The opposition was made on the ground that the petitioning creditors had been induced to supply goods by these means, the impression being that he was a gentleman. Evidence was tendered in support of theseallegations, when His Hoxoun stated that sufficient had been advanced to induce him to refuse the final order.—The case was then ad journed sine die. INJURIES BY A Cow.—Mr. and Mrs. Hnyte, the large cowkeepers of Pentonville, who were so dreadfully in jured by a cow on Monday last, are fast recovering. It is untrue that they were both tossed in the air, and that a labourer in their employ stuck the prongs of a pitchfork in its eyes and ears. Mr. Hoyte only was tossed, but both were trampled and gored by the infuriated beast. Mrs. Hoyte had three of her ribs broken, and her left arm dislocated, while Mr. Hoyte received some severe injuries on his back and neck, but not of so serious a character as was stated. If the COW had not had crooked horns there is no doubt but both would have been killed on the spot, and their bodies dreadfully mangled.

The calendar is unusually heavy, there being no less than 224 names down for trial. Two of these cases are for mur der: one of them being Thomas Henry locker, who is doubly indicted—first, " for the wilful murder of James Delarue ;" and secondly, for " a robbery on James Delarue, and steal ing one watch, one ring, and 12 sovereigns, his goods and moneys, and immediately before said robbery wounding said James Delarue." The second murder is that of an infant child by its mother, Ann Pendry. There are two cases of bigamy, five of burglary, two of cutting and wounding, three of forging and uttering forged instruments, seven of house breaking and larceny, two of sheep-stealing, and one of rob bery from the Post-office. Robert Bannister, the draper of Portsea, who, it will be remembered, was brought in custody from the island of Madeira, stands indicted for unlawfully , obtaining goods with intent to cheat certain of his cre ditors. The remaining offences are of a minor charac ter. Of the total calendar London furnishes 57 prisoners, Middlesex 108, Essex 8, and Kent 22. A considerable addi tion will no doubt be made before the end of the week, and among the names added will be that of Joseph Connor, com mitted on Saturday from Bow-street, for the wilful murder of Mary Brothers, in George-street, St. Giles's. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The REcouDast proceeded to charge them as follows : Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,—Something more than the ordinary interval that generally prevails between these ses sions having occurred, we have in consequence an increased number of charges in the present calendar. It contains 224 indictments; but I understand that 16 additional prisoners have been committed since that calendar was printed, thus making a total of 240 indictments. You are not, however, to suppose that there are 240 prisoners; there are, probably, not more than 172 ; several of them have been committed for the same alleged offence, but charged on different counts. The number of prisoners on the calendar will, no doubt, receive some addition in the progress of your labours throughout the week. A great number of cases of minor importance have been transferred to the jurisdiction of the Middlesex magis trates, under the direction of the functionary nominated As sistant-Judge of the Session, but as these cases are of the least complex character their withdrawal from the face of the calendar will not, in any great degree, lighten your labours, or shorten the term of your attendance to these duties. lam sorry to say that there is nothing very encouraging in the general aspect of this calendar. Crimes of the greatest enormity are presented, and among others there are two cases of murder, which have already attracted but too much of the public notice, through the medium of the press. I am most anxious that your minds should be divested of all prejudices imbibed from anything heard or read without these walls, and that your attention should be strictly directed to the facts of the cases as they shall be laid before you. Ido net mean to say that the publication of these cases should have the effect of pre j udicing your minds, but you have to ascertain, without reference to anything that may have passed elsewhere, whether them is sufficient evidence to constitute a charge against the parties. The cases to which I advert are so no torious as to render any particular allusion to them wholly unnecessary. I mean the case of murder committed at Hampstead, and that more recently perpetrated in the pa, isti of St. Giles's, in which latter case the prisoner was only committed on Saturday. Gentlemen, I do not think I should be advancing the interests of public jus • tice were I to refer to the evidence. or to make any com ment upon the evidence taken in either of those cases. The facts will appear before you, and you will have to judge ac cording to the evidence; at the same time I feel it is my duty to say, that as regards vour peculiar province I can en tertain no doubt that you will come to the proper conclusion in both these cases. As soon as it shall be proved to your satisfaction that the murder has been committed by some one, and the facts lead you to infer that the accused is the party, then it is incumbent upon bhn to prove his innocence. The law upon the subject is very brief and pointed. The fact of the commission of the offence by some one having been first proved, the question of his innocence must be satisfactorily proved by the prisoner. The law presumes that murder is founded in malice unless the contrary appears in the facts of the case. Now, the rule as laid down by the law and prac tice iu reference to malice is this. The law by the term malice holds that the effect had been intended , wickedlyde priving a fellow-creature of life, and the fact that such killing has taken place under certain circumstances carries a plain indication of a heart regardless of social duties and indifferent to the commands of all law. It; therefore, you find that the party charged in the indictment destroys life under peculiar circumstances, it is perfectly reasonable that the proof of jus tification should rest with the same individual. lou will rea dily understand that cases may occur where death may arise from violence, in which no higher verdict than that of man slaughter or justifiable homicide can be recorded. I mention that nierelv to explain my argument, and not because it has any applicability to these cases. There is also a case of infanticide, where a young woman is charged with destroy . - ing her infant at the time of birth. On this subject there is annexed a condition by Act of Parliament applicable I think to this case. It orders an inquiry as to whether there are circumstances indicative of a determination to destroylife, or whether the purpose has been that only of concealment of birth. There may be circumstances which indicate in some measure that the woman charged is the cause of the death of the child by some act of hers, but in order to bring her under the operation of the law on the charge of murder, it must be proved that that death was wilfully intended, and caused by some wilful act. If a woman delivers herself of a child, and by secret burying endeavours to conceal the fact of the birth, she is liable to imprisonment, with or without hard labour, in any of her Majesty's gaols, for a term not exceeding two years, and thus you will be enabled by the discretionary powers allowed you, where the party is indicted for murder, and where the evidence will not carry that indictment out, to re turn a true bill for the concealement of the birth. I think that that discretion may be wisely exercised in this case, for with the exception of a trifling mark upon the head, there is nothing to indicate that any violence has been used to the infant. That mark is also simply accounted for by the very peculiar circumstances attending the birth; and on looking at the depositions, it does appear to me to be the most slender case possible to support a charge of murder. There are also charges in the calendar of child-stealing ; of attempts to rob from the person ; of receiving stolen goods ; of housebreaking ; of forgery ; of uttering counterfeit coin ; and, in fact, crimes of all shades and character, and with which criminal courts are but too conversant. Let us, then, rest entirely on thatters of fact. I do not think that you require to be particularly instructed upon them. Gentlemen, I am sure, in dismissing you to your duties, that you will allow no unnecessary delay, at the same titt,e that you give every case that grave and earnest attention it merits. The grand jury was then dismissed, and the petit jury sworn in. ONE CLOSING . IMES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced 3 per Cent.

Mr. GREENWOOD observed, in relation to a case connected with Spa-fields burial-ground, which was dismissed at this Court on Saturday, and which appeared in The Sun of this morning, from a legal informality, that the technical fault was not attributable to that Court. nor to any person con nected with it. The complaining parties brought the docu ments before the magistrate, whose duts it was to sign them, and the parties must stand or fall by their validity or inva lidity. Sometimes he (the magistrate) signed some hun dreds of dOcuments in a day, and it was manifestly impos sible that he could revise e..eb, even if such were his pro vince, which he denied.

The returns of the Quarter's Revenue as published, in general terms are considered as most satisfactory, especially as respects the Customs and Excise; but as to the aug mentation of the Post-office revenues we do not think that the increase. solar as it goes, is worth that high degree ofcommenda tion paid to this branch of the revenue by some ofour Contempo raries. It is the farthest from our Intention to say a word against the new system of postage as brought forward, and so suc cessfully carried out under the auspices of Mr. Rowland Hill. But there have been accessions to the Post office revenue which cannot be expected to continue. We allude to the immense mass of letters sent for applications for shares in the new railway and other companies which have been started in the last quarter. We have it on undoubted authority that there were 36,000 letters sent through the Post-office, all being applications for shares in a recently formed railway concern. We have accounts to-day from Buenos Ayres to the 25th of January. The Legislature had beon opened, and Rosas in his address enters most fully into the affairs of th, Re. public ; and a pretty fair picture is drawn of the state of its condition. A political feeling against America appears to be in the ascendant. There has been an Increase of ;business in the Money Market to-day. There have been private transfers made in all these stocks, which have been for some weeks closed, pre paratory to the payment of the quarterly dividend.
