From this day Advertisements will be received at THE SUN Of/ice up to Two o'Clock, and in serted without any extra charge. The extraor dinary speed of our Machinery, which prints at the rate of One Hundred Sheets per Minute, enables us to delay going to Press much later than other' Papers ; and this extension of time will, we trust, he found occasionally very convenient for those who may be delayed in getting Advertisements ready for the usual time of the Evening Papers going to Press. NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. Those who wish to obtain the latest Parliamentary News, should give orders, 'without delay, to their respective News-agents, to insure SECOND EDI TIONS OF TIIE SUN. A Second Edition will be given every Night during Parliament, containing the Debates in both Houses up to the Hour of Post; and upon all extraordinary occasions, EXPRESS Editions will, as usual, be forwarded all over the Kingdom. The circulation of TIrE SUN has breathy increased during the last year, upwards of Two HUNDRED THOUSAND Copies having been sold more than during the previous year.

Madrid journals to the 29th of December have been received, from which copious extracts are given in another part of The Sun. Their contents arc very important, and most gratifying to the friends of Con stitutional liberty. It will he seen that the project of law, voting confidence in the MENDIZABAL Admi nistration, received the sanction of a majority of the Committee ; and from the language of the opposition in the debate which took place upon it in the Chamber of Deputies on the 28tli ult., we are justified in pre suming that it will pass into a law without any alte ration, as far as regards the principle of the measure. M. MENDIZABAL is every day more and more a fa vourite with the inhabitants of Madrid. Even the Clergy begin.. to perceive the necessity of supporting him, and of warning their flocks against tit l e dangers of Carlist conspiracies. The intelligence from the North of Spain commu nicated in the Madrid journals just received is most cheering. The Carlists have suffered severely from the stormy state of the weather, and the want of clothing and provisions. Desertions among them are becoming very frequent ; not of individuals only, but of entire organized bodies. In fact, their condi tion is desperate. Without food, shelter, clothing, or protection from the law, and obliged to witness, the awful effects of famine in their little families, it is morally impossible that they should hold out in de fence of a principle, which .even if just they are too ignorant to comprehend. The family of the unfortunate RIEGo have ad dressed a declaration to the QUEEN-REGENT, thanking her in the most grateful terms for the Royal decree of the 31st of October, by which the heirs of that illus trious Chief had their former rank, honours, and pro perty, restored to them. We have received the Annual Report of the Com mittee of Deputies of the Protestant Dissenters to the General Meeting. We should have been happy, had our limits allowed us, to insert it entire, but, though drawn up with great conciseness, it is too long for the space which we can at present afford. The Report gives a succinct and interesting detail of the proceedings which have been adopted by the Com mittee during the past year, arising out of those poli tical events which more particularly affected Dissenting interests. The proposed grant of money from the Consolidated Fund for the purpose of building and endowing churches in Scotland, is mentioned in term s of strong condemnation, and the Deputies are reminded that " the time will soon arrive when the Dissenters of England and Scotland will expect them to redeem the pledge given to aid them, by evely constitutional means,: in opposing the impolitic scheme." The principle on which the grant is opposed is well expressed in the following resolution, which is one of a series passed by the Deputies at the time the question. was brought for ward in the House of Commons, and quoted in the Report before us :—" That whilst they would continue to manifest such liberality and zeal (in promoting reli gious objects), they are bound by their principles to disapprove and oppose the appropriation of the public revenue, and the consequent imposition of taxes in ' favour of any particular seer or religious denomination,. because such grants and taxation infringe that perfect' religious equality among all the members of the com munity which should ever exist, and to the violation of which they attribute the many and unjust grievances. of which they have vet to complain." The death of Mr. SMITH, the fearless and consis tent advocate of civil and religious liberty, during a long and active public life, is next alluded to. We ur.ite our sincere belief to that of the enlightened body over which he so long and so honourably presided, " that his name will long and justly be cherished as the persevering and dauntless enemy of ignorance, slavery, and war ; and as the advocate of liberal edu cation, of religious liberty, of popular rights, and Public Reform." After referring to the attack made upon the Dis senting body by the savage treatment of Mr. CHILDS of Bungay, who, our readers will recollect, was con fined among felons in Ipswich gaol, for not appearing in the Ecclesiastical Court to state why he demurred to the payment of a 17s. 6d. church-rate, the Com mittee express the satisfaction they have in being able " to inform the Meeting that his Majesty's Ministers are about to redeem their pledge, by early bringing before Parliament measures for their relief. They are now preparing two Bills, one for the Registration of Births, Marriages, and Deaths, and another for the Marriage of Dissenters, the contents of which will be communicated to the United Committee before their introduction into the House of Commons." The observations which the Committee make on the Marriage Bill, which Sir ROBERT PEEL threw as a sop to disarm the hostility of the Dissenters, are not very flattering to the clap-trap Administration : " As the acknowledgment of a wrong and the concession of a remedy by a party which has uniformly opposed both, it must produce some practical advantage. But, fortunately for the interests of our cause, the authors of this measure were not in power long enough to enable them to carry or complete it." Contrast this language with the expression of confi dence contained in the resolution - passed by the Body to whom the Report we have been considering was presented. " At the Meeting of the Deputation to whom the fore going Report was submitted, the following Resolution was unanimously adopted :--c That this Deputation entertain cordial confidence in the present Administration, whom they believe to be really devoted to the cause of Religious Li berty and Constitutional Reform ; and have no doubt that they will fulfil their promise, early in the next Session of Parliament, to bring forward measures for the relief of Dis senters, from several of the many and great grievances they yet endure. But this meeting are of opinion, that to encou rage his Majesty's Ministers in their proceedings, and to promote their efforts, it is desirable that Congregational Petitions to Parliament should be soon renewed from the metropolis, and all parts of England and Wales, urging the general relief of Dissenters ; and especially the enactment, without delay, of Bills, for a National Civil Registration of Blrtlas * ana, 1 :0410401--for amending the Marriage Laws as to Dissenters—and for the removal of Church Rates :—and that they also recommend Local Committees to correspond with Members of Parliament and obtain their support." This Resolution, coming as it does from the Re presentatives of the Dissenters, cannot fail to produce a most beneficial effect. It must be highly satisfactory and encouraging to his MAJESTY'S Ministers to see that, notwithstanding all the malignant attempts of the Tories to place them in an equivocal position with respect to the Dissenters, they stand as high as ever in the esteem and confidence of that great and influen tial portion of the community. Nor must we omit to bestow our warmest praise on the wisdom of the course which our dissenting brethren have pursued during the year that has closed ; as well as of that which is now recommended to their adoption by the Committee. We have just received a pamphlet, published by RIDGWAY, entitled " Create," which is in the form of a letter to the KING, and recommends the creation of not less than a hundred Peers, as being the safest and most practicable mode of carrying Reform into the House of Lords. The pamphlet is well written, by one who is evidently a sincere friend to Ministers, but, at the same time, no sycophant. Speaking of the pre sent Government, the author sensibly observes, " it is of course the fate of every Ministry to be violently attacked ; but there never perhaps was any so easily defended as the present, and for this reason—that all the opposition with which it is assailed, has concen trated itself into one loud brawl against the so-called alli ance with O'CONNELL; the coarse sound can really only claim attention by duration; its authors are not ambi tious men, they have been brought up with the homely encouragement, that all natural deficiency may be com pensated by industrious exertion ; that the finest ala baster may be perforated by the dropping of muddy water ; that the strongest cause may be undermined by the incessant application of the most feeble intel lects." This is forcibly put, though the allusion was scarcely worth making ; for even the Tories themselves arc becoming ashamed of their late vulgar clamour about the coalition of Ministers with O'CONNELL. The common-sense of the people has scared them into silence ; and having exhausted, for the present, their stock in trade of falsehoods, they arc now beginning, for want of better occupation, to bandy hard words with each other. The political character of the people is admirably hit off in this pamphlet ; and the title which the author bestows on the Tory majority of the House of Lords, namely, that they are the " Conscript Fathers of Crockford's," is a classical allusion applied in an apt, sarcastic spirit, worthy of Junius. The Paris papers of Tuesday convey to us the satis factory intelligence, that there is virtually an end to all differences between the Governments of the Tuil leries and Washington. The KING is entirely satisfied with the Message of the PRESIDENT. MM. TIIIERS, GUIZOT, and DE BROGLIE are likewise delighted with the explanations which the PRESIDENT gave of the offensive passages in his Message of the preceding year. We must do M. TIMERS the justice to admit that his views, on all questions of foreign policy, have been unexceptionabl e since his accession to office. He certainly gave the RING some sound advice ; but, un fortunately for himself and others, he is deficient in the art of giving good a d v i ce i n t h e on l y way i n which it can be acceptable to men of rank. He is too much of a pedant and a dancing -master, assumes too many offensive airs, and indulges in too many ridiculous grimaces, to communicate even the best views in such a way as to impress others of his own sincerity and ,their importance. Thus, we happen to know that he 'disapproved of the supine indifference of France with respect to the movements of Russia, both in the East, and in Poland ; that he remonstrated against the silence of France and England, when NICHOLAS ordered the most illustrious of the Poles into exile ; that he recommended an active intervention in Spain, and advised the KING to march a regular army into Navarre, with a view to crush the insurrection of the Carlists, before it could &cyclone itself ; and that at this moment nothing would give him more real pleasure than a war with Russia, having for its object the re-establishment of the nationality of Poland. Nor is this a secret at St. Petersburg. In fact, NESSELRODE . regards THIERS as the writer of the Articles in the Journal dos Debats, which gave such offence to the Autocrat, and this simply is the reason why such no- tice has been taken of them. TRIERS, with all his apparent levity, and real coxcombry, is a man of great information, and of generally sound political views. His greatest fault is that his vanity is stronger than his love of principle ; and hence, to retain his place at Court, he is ever read;• to make any sacrifice that the KING may demand of him. The French Chambers have not concluded the dis cussions on the addresses in answer to the Royal Speech on opening the session. We have the autho rity of Lord JOHN HAY, for stating that the Govern ment no longer winks at the left-handed assistance which the smugglers on the frontier gave to the Spanish insurgents. PARIS, JAN. s.—lt is announced that the Government will present the Budget for 1837 immediately after the vote on the Address. The following seem to be the principal laws that the Chamber of Deputies will have to discuss during the Ses sion :—The Municipal and Departmental Law ; Law on the Organisation of the Council of State ; Law on the new Organisation of the Court of Justice ; Law on Bounties and Lotteries ; Law on Secondary Instruction ; Law on the Responsibility of Ministers ; Law to regulate the mode of executing the Law on the Jury ; Law on the Duties of Customs. The question of the nationality of Poland has frequently been talked of, but now the following rather curious reports are circulated among the friends of the Ministeri. It appears that according to their usual tactics, the Ministry believing that it will not be possible to prevent something about Poland being said in the Address, and knowing be sides that the Chamber would never pass to the Order of the Day on the petition of the Poles, will not make the smallest opposition to the Chamber's inserting a phrase in the Address ; it has even been remarked that some Minis- terial Deputies have spoken to this effect in the Bureaux. —Tenzps. It was reported that the very pacific harangue of Count Appony in the name of the Diplomatic Body, had not been concocted between all the Ambassadors, and that it had even been disavowed by one of them. It is likely that this is not correct : immemorial usage, when the senior Ambassador at Paris is obliged to speak in the name of the Diplomatic Body, requires that he shall invite his col, leagues to a dinner ; there the note is drawn up in concert when it is approved by all the Ambassadors ; there never is any opposition, because all have been concerned in drawing up a document, which in the eye of the Diplomatist is oftne something more than a mere matter of etiquette.—Messa ger, Jan. 5.

Pet-pe tuelles, The German Papers received this morning contain an article from the Maine, dated the 29th ult., sneer ing at the efforts of the Liberals in every part of Ger many. This party, which, immediately after the French Revolution of 1830, presented a rather appalling spec tacle to the most illustrious and most potent Kinglings, PrincelinO, and Dukelings, who possess territories of some two or more dozens of acres in Germany, is now assailed with the most virulent rancour by the literary confessors and chaplains of these Lilliputian Sove reigns. The article from the Maine is a ppropriately followed by this announcement : " The booksellers and publishers, as well as the dealers in second-hand books, have lately received a prohibition to sell the lately printed works : The Revolution,' by Schafer, Mannheim, 1835, published by Hof ; The Mani festo of Reason, a Voice of the Times, in Letters to a Fair Mystic,' by Clement, published by Hamrnerick, Al tona, 1836 ; Contributions to the History of the Church in the 19th Century,' published by Holmann, Augsburg, 1836." Weshall not give ourselves the trouble of commenting upon these petty doings of the German Princes. Of themselves they are nothing, and can do nothing. They are the Punch and Judy of Russia and Prussia. By advices from Berlin we learn that various ob stacles have been thrown in the way of the Railway Companies by coach-contractors and others, much to the annoyance of the Government. The Brussels Papers state that the navigation of the Scheldt has been stopped in consequence of the thickness of the ice. BRUTALIZING.—The Hull Observer notices the gorge of a fellow known in Caistor by the nickname of Rumpsteaks. It appears that " a (respectable ?) miller engaged the man to kill a large fat pig, computed to to weigh 85 stones. On opening the animal a display of good things betokened as plain as could be a happy new year to the owner. Sammy Rumpsteak, being observed greedily to survey, and then to handle the kidney, which he thought weighed a pound, the natural sharpness of the owner judged he wanted to beg, and therefore gave it to him. Sammy rejoiced exceedingly thereat, and begged the favour of some pepper and salt, a little bread, and a pint of ale, with which he was readily supplied ; and, to the great surprise of a select party, for the trifling sum of six pence, he devoured the whole in its warm raw stale with canine rapacity in less than ten minutes ! In the course of the • day, his young companions raised a subscrip tion, and backed him to eat a quarter of a stone of raw bulqbeef, which Rumpsteak has consented to do ; and it is confidently reported in the town, that he has volun teered after the repast of the beef, to worry half a yard of tripe in less time than a dog, called Nero, can do ! These performances are expected to take place on the first day of April next ensuing. There will be no collection." [We are a little surprised that our respected Contemporary should notice acts so brutalizing, without holding up the cannibal and his supporters to execration.] Some French boats, recently arrived at Alderney from Cherbourg, bring the news that on Sunday night, the 20th ult., a large French ship, of five hund re d tons , was lost on a ridge of rocks about one mile to the eastward of a small island, near Cherbourg, called Pake , and all hands on board perished , with th exception of a sailor, a passenger, who swam to the aforesaid island, and thereby saved his life. The vessel in question belonged to the firm of Messrs. Manger and Co., of Cherbourg, and, melan choly to relate, Mr. Manger himself was on board at the time, and perished with the crew. The vessel had just been purchased at Havre-de-Grace, and was on her pas sage to Cherbourg._Comet.

The following letter has been received at Lloyds' this morn ing, from their agent at Peterhead, respecting the vessels beset in the ice at Davis' Straits, dated Jan. 3 " Sir—l am happy to state that the Grenville Bay, one of the whalers that was beset in the middle ice, is now off here. I have seen Captain Taylor, who was on shore getting some fresh provisions, and making arrangements for sending home those of his crew belonging to Orkney. He also has on board sixteen men, part of the crews of the ships Dordon, Mary Frances, and Lee. He reports that he got clear the 16th December, and that the Norfolk, of Berwick, got free three days previously, which vessel he expects is now in Ork ney. He drifted down 691 degress in Davis' Straits, and was driven into Hudson's St ra its by th e curr ent on the North side, and was again driven out by the current on the South side, round Bullon's Island, as far as 90 degrees on the Lab: adore Coast, where he got clear. At the time when he was re leased, be was driving S. E., and at a rate of twenty miles a day. He has been driven upwards of 600 miles inclosed in the ice. He last saw the Lady Jane on the 15th of Decem ber, in latitude 59 degrees, about five or six miles to the S.W. of the Grenville Bay, surrounded at the time by a deal of ice. When he last skv the Abram she was in lat. 62, bearing S. S. E. The Grenville Bay had about a month's provisions in full al lowance left. Captain Taylor got the half of the provisions of the Dordon, and agreed to take on board half the crew, but a less portion came to his ship. The Abram got a share of the provisions of the Dordon, and Captain Taylor thinks she has on board, including part of the crews of the lost vessels, about 100 men. I found it quite correct that the provisions of the Mary Frances were burnt along with the ship. The prac tice of setting fire to a ship on being lost or abandoned, ap pears to be very improper ; and surely the wilful destruction of provisions, if such custom exists, cannot be too severely repro bated, nor too soon put a stop to. Captain T. hopes that the Lady Jane and Abram would be liberated, but from the un certainty of the current, and the changing of ice, no accurate opinion could be formed how or when. I believe that the Grenville Bay has 3 fish, about 70 tons." THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 18:16- CORN AVERAGES. GENERAL AVERAGE PRICES OF BRITISH CORN, For the Week ended Jan.

(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. John Dyson was placed at the bar, charged with stealing 2,000 numbers of a publication called the " Weekly Visi tor," the property of the Society for the Diffusion of Chris tian Knowledge: The prisoner pleaded Guilty. James Paul, a bookseller, aged 32, was indicted for re ceiving the above, well knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. PHILIPS stated the case to the Jury, and Mr. CLARKSON called— John Britain, a holkseller, of Paternoster-row. He knew the Society's publication, called the " Weekly Visitor." It was published to the trade on the Monday and to the pub lic on Tuesday. On the 19th of December be found that it was being published to the trade on the Saturday after noon. He went to Paul's shop on that day, any saw a per son getting 400 of these pamphlets. They were taken from under the counter. Witness bought 27 of them as two dozen. The Society gave only 26. He wished to have them on Saturday, as he left town and did not return till late on Monday. He took them to the Society's office, in order to show that they were published so early. Cross-examined by Mr. DOANE—He paid 9d. for the two dozen, and got 27. He seldom gave 27 for two dozen, but he bad done so sometimes to oblige a customer. It was widely known in the trade that Mr. Paul published them on the Saturday, and he might have a profit by giving 27, but it was very small. There was a discount allowed when to the amount of 5/. was purchased. Re-examined—Had known Paul for 12 months. He lived two doors from the Society. James Pattie examined by Mr. PAYNE—Was a book seller in High-street, St. Giles's. Had been in the habit of selling the " Weekly Visitor." Used to buy them from the Society. He had done so from Paul for the last year. He was always allowed 27 to the two dozen. The publi cation at the Society's office was on the . Monday, but he frequently got them on the Saturday. On the Monday three weeks ago he went to Paul, and asked why he had not been supplied, as usual, on Saturday ? Mr. Paul said there had been a piece of work about their being published o *arty. Cross-examined.—Had sold 27 to the two dozen of some publications. John Davis, superintendant of the publication in ques tion.—John Dyson was a servant of his, and had ho autho rity to make out invoices or sell these pamphlets. These invoices he believed to be in Dyson's handwriting. All the money taken ought to be aceounted for to him ; and so far as he knew, he had not received any money upon the in voices produced. Cross-examined.—Dyson had been in his employment about six years. Everything was done in his name. The house was taken by him, and he was the agent of the So ciety, and responsible to them for all in the shop. The bills of parcels were all made out in his name. Several of these invoices were above 5/. Re-examined.—These bills of parcels were irregular, in asmuch as they had neither purchasers nor date. The Society invariably inserted these when the amount was 51. or upwards. Dyson had access to these invoices. Paul knew Dyson as their shopman. By the JUDGE.—Dyson was in the country warehouse, and he had no authority to do more than to make up country orders and pack them. If he was in the shop, he was out of his place. Paul must have known Dyson as a servant of the Society. T. Jaikes, superintendent of the binding department, went to Paul on the 21st of December, and said he under stood he (Paul) was in the habit of selling the " Visitor " on the Saturday, and he was very anxious to know how that was. Paul said he had bought 200 from the Society, and there were 100 among them dated Dec. 21. Witness asked what number of them were of that date, and he said about two dozen—not more. While he was in the shop, Dyson came in and asked whether his book was ready. Paul said no. Dyson had a paper in his hand. Witness went "to, him again, and said they could not make out how he could sell 16 dozen to one person and 12 dozen to another. He said it was very strange, almost impossible. But witness said he could prove that such was the ease. Mr. Lloyd, who was with witness, asked him if he knew Dyson ? He said he did, but had no business transactions with him. Paul said Dyson came to him for a novel. Was present at a search in Dyson's house, when some papers were found. In an examination of the stock he missed 1,100 of the Num bers for Dec. 21, and 1,100 of those for the 28th ; the va lue of them was 3s. per 100. Robert Theobald, assistant to Mr. Davis, said Britain hrouitt him twenty-seven " Visitors" on the 19th De cember, in order to shew him that they were published be fore the Society's time. In consequence, a message was sent to Paul on the Monday. He came to the office of the Society in the evening. He then said he had sent a lad to purchase two hundred of the previous week, and there happened to be fifty of the succeeding week in one of the bundles. He said he would produce the lad if pos sible ; but he did not know who he was. Witness told Paul that such was a very improbable story, and that two things were certain—the Society had been robbed, and that he had received the goods. He went away, and witness heard no more of the matter until the 29th December, when Paul came and said to him, " It is no use trying to keep this a secret any longer ; I have come to clear myself, and to show that I have paid for all I have had." He then produced twenty-seven invoices, which were written by Dyson. He, on being asked again how he paid for them, produced these two papers, and said he bad paid Dyson for them in his own shop. H e said he had not suspected any thing wrong till the 21st Dec. C r oss-examined —The prices in the invoices were all fair and full priceS, as charged by the Society. James Palmer, a clerk in the Bank of England, proved the handwriting of Paul to a paper found in Dyson's pocket. Witness was secretary to the Book Society of which Paul was a servant up to Dec., 1832. The papers mentioned in the case were then read by Mr. Clark—they were orders to Dyson from Paul for the several works. Mr. CLARKSON then proposed to call Mrs. Dyson. Mr. DOANE objected. He did not think that it was competent to make her a witness, as her husband was a party upon the Record before the Court. It was a joint indictment even though Dyson had pleaded guilty. The COURT held the objection valid. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE inquired whether Mr. Clarkson was prepared to strew that any of the 27 numbers produced bad been stolen by Dyson. Mr. CLARESON said he was not. Mr. Justice CoLutinGE then charged the jury for an ac quittal—they could not find a receiver guilty without the most clear evidence that the goods had been stolen, and though the principal here had pleaded guilty, still it was es sential that proof of the stealing of the identical things charged must be produced. Te Jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Mr. CLARKSON applied to have Paul detained till next Session. The Court said they could not do so. They must take the chance of finding him. Mr. CLARKSON then, on the part of the Society, most strongly recommended Dyson to the mercy of the Court. DUBLIN-TUESDAY. (icßom OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) " They that too much reverence Old Times, are a scorn to the new."—BAcoN. The attention directed by The . Sun of the 2d inst. to such of its Contemporaries as are be; , :inning to admit the triumph of liberal principles, has excited some amusement here. Not ten days since, those. consistent Journals that now deplore the weakness of their party, proclaimed the near approach of the day when Toryism was to be rein stated in the plenitude of its supremacy. The announce ment, to be sure, was generally regarded as an innocent mode of sustaining the hopes of the disappointed and despondent : yet there were many persons in this city, be sides the faction, who deemed a political movement, like that of November 1834, within the limits of probability. This class of persons, however, are now completely disabused of their hopes and apprehensions ; not more by the operation of Reform in the Corporate towns of England and Wales, than by the prostration of spirit manifested by the entire Tory Press. For, as you have observed, the querulous ex hortation of the old Times to its new supporters, amounts to a full confession of the weakness of the party to which that Journal recently devoted its indiscriminate and undis guised advocacy. The writer of this remembers a period_ when Englishmen boasted that there was among the News papers of London a leading Journal, whose interest it 'was to make known the feelings and opinions of the great body of the people of England, uninfluenced by the power or corruption of any party. But what a change " Tempor a inutantar," indeed. We hope no r es p ec t a ble portion of the public Press will continue to retrograde in the march of improvement. There may be differences of opinion, and honest convictions on either side of a great national and public question ; but the independent advocates on one side and the other ought always be able to sustain their views, and justify their conduct, without betraying that inconsis-. tency and vacillation which have become so clear and. evident to the public within the last fortnight. Those who did not know the extent to which the spirit of Reform had pervaded all the communities of the empire, ought not to commit themselves, by proclaiming what the lapse of a few days only might oblige them to contradict ; while those who (lid know the full extent of that spirit of Reform over the public mind, and knowing would conceal it, are con, victed by passing events which they must themselves record, of attempting a wilful imposture on the nation. AU this floundering and teq,4Yersation might be laughed at, if no other evil resulted from it than the shame and ridicule of its discovery ; but as long as faction is thus encouraged to delay the progress of national improvement, so long must. it continue to excite public indignation. These are the sentiments prevalent in Dublin since the arrival of tare last London news. • - In the meantime. that reaction which the Tories have been boasting of, is progressin g in an oppe site direction. The extraordinary conduct o f th e ascentancy faction in Ireland—in endeavouring to monopoliF,e the principle of the elective franchise, by persecuting these in whom it is natur ally and legally vested, as well as t:neir combination for such purposes—have greatly contr:outed to unite the Liberals of every class, persuasion, and shade of opinion. In fact, the " Registry Association" on Reform principles, is likely to become that great political engine . which its friends have contemplated. The number of adherents is daily encreasing. Almost all the respectable Whigs:oflreland who have had notice of its formation, have signified their willingness, to become members. A few Peers only have. declined,,on apcount of scruples which are creditable 'co their honour and principles. They declare their most anxiOus'wishes for Reform, • and their expectatiorvd of its progress in the institutions of this country ; but, t!oink they • ought not, as Peers, interfere with privileges peculiar to the people and their representatives. This is in the true spirit of Reform, and quite in keeping with those: more eleiated notions of policy by which the Whigs 'Aave ever been ac tuated—contrary to the dictates of a n'Lore narrow, selfish, and sordid interest—and contrary to t; 'ore example set them by those who have been corruptinu representatives, for the purpose of. the people and their the enjoyment of that mono of 'which th e y so l ong. h e ld securing to thems e l ve s Y ., . in a misgoverned country. The.-Cernmitte e of the Registry Association are circulating inffirtnation of the greatest im portance to the constituency of Ireland. They have ,had printed small books, or " manuals," containing all the in formation requisite for the people to know their rihts under the Reform A c t, an d i nstructing them how to register their votes. In a counts. 7,• where the electors have been treated as mere serfs, or political instruments in the hands of their landlords, alf.owed no their— and in many instances, no real ig..rtowledge of their actual rights—this instruction is absolutely necessary to enable them to exer cise the franchise 'conformably to the Reform Act. _ , Now.-4he hills in the neighbourhood of Ul verston have assumed their winter's garb---a copious supply of snow having fallen on Friday last.

BASTARDY.._.. -A novel and important point arising out of the new Poor Law, came under the consideration of the Blackburn magistrates last week. Mr. William Green wood appeared at the instance of the overseer of Clayton le-Dale, to show cause why he did not pay up the arrears due on an order in bastardy, made for the maintenanae of an illegitimate child, born-of a woman named Barton, be longing to Clayton-le-Dale, but living in Blackburn. It appeared that the order was made in the year 1832, and: that in the course of the present year the woman. had mai!. ried a person named Yates. The weekly sum granted ' o y the order had been paid up to the time of the marriage , ' but Mr. Greenw oo d re f use d to pay anything since th contending th a t h e was t h ereby exonerated. M at e cen t, r.. Back house appe a l e d on Isis behulf; an d di rected the attention of the Magistrates to the .57th clause o f th e Poor Lai,- Amend ment Act, by which it is provided that " every man who shall marry a woman having a child or children at the time of such marriage, whether , suelr child or children shall be legitimate. or illegitimate 'shall be liable to maintain' such child or children as a, part of his far:illy," and " that such child or children shall, for the py'rposes of the Act; be deemed a p ar t o f suc h h us b and ' s family accordingly ;" an d g he contend e d, th at as t h e order in question language, limit e d i n its oerat; was, b y i ts own p en to the time of the child being chargeable to the township of Clayton-le-Dale, and. as the marriage of the woman had, by the effect of the clause quoted, relieved the township from charge a bili ty , and removed the b ur d en to the husband, the liability of Mr. Greenwood was at end. The Magistrates seemed to can cur in this opinion but thought it was a doubtful p 0in.44 The because it did not appear what was to 'be done with the child in ease the husband was unable to maintain it. magistr a t es t h en said they would not interfere h•at the m o th er to pursue her own course. —Blackburs Gazette. leave A young l a dy f rom Galway, who entered . t h e Con vent at E nnis a few months since, a Protes, an re- mained o n a v i s i t to some female acquaintance, tant has recently conformed to the Roman Catholic Church, and, despite the remonstrances of her family, has avowed her resolution to, take the veil.—Limerick Chronicle.

The most important intelligence this morning is the arrival, off Peterhead, of another vessel from Davis' Straits —the Granville Bay. The ship Norfolk was clear, and probably has arrived by this time in one of our ports. The Abrani and Lady .lane were also expected to get clear of the ice. TILE FUNDS.

Consols for the Account, 9211 THE SULTAN'S THIRD SON.—The birth of thi " young Turk" has already been announced in the letter of our Constantinople correspondent. The Grand Seignior communicated this event to the Diplomatic Body by the following circular letter from the Reis Effendi, and this unusual step has made a great sensation at Pera :—" Most Noble and Most Honoured Sir, our dear Friend,—On Sunday, the 16th of the present moon of Schaban the Majestic, at 45 minutes past four, through the Divine grace, a Prince, of august health, of the pure and royal blood of my Lord, the most majestic, most terrible, most powerful, my benefactor and Emperor, who increases the s plendour of the throne of the Califat, and throws a lustre on the scat of Majesty and Royalty, has adorned the cradle of pomp, has put on the swaddling-clothes of exis tence and happiness, and has received the name of Niza mouddin (Regulator of Religion), which is a pledge of pros perity. Inasmuch as this highly joyful event has been an ❑ounced and communicated to the other pivots of the Em pire, the High Imperial will has required particularly that it should be also announced and communicated to the Re presentatives of the friendly Powers, who are sincerely attached to the Imperial person, the refuge of Majesty. In the firm persuasion that all the happy events which occur to the most glorious family of the Sovereign are, from the friendship which unites them, a cause of pleasure to your most respectable Sovereign, I have written this letter to announce this to you, and at the same time to assure you of the sincerity of the sentiments I bear towards you, my friend." TITIIES AND RENT.—Christmas Eve, a party of one hundred persons attacked the pound of Monaparson, within half a mile of Ballinamona, and four of Mallow, and liberated nine cows, distrainod for rent. Many of the party were armed with guns, and several shots were fired. On Saturday, as two bailiffs of the Rev. Mr. Williamson were serving processes for Composition Rent, at the same place, they were furiously attacked with sticks and stones, cut and wounded, and only saved by flight from being murdered by their lawless and inhuman assailants.—Linzeri c k Chronicle.

The prosecutor, who keeps a public-house in Church lane, Limebouse, heard a noise in his bar, and found the prisoner coming from the till with the money in his hand. He had seen the one shilling and sixpence in the till a few minutes previously. The prisoner had been on a former occasion committed to the House of Correction.—Guilty. The Learned SERGEANT sentenced him to seven years' transportation, with the understanding that he shall be sent to the ship, and taught a trade. This being the last case on the list, the Jury were then discharged. iciiEsT ER.—The papers, in reporting the re sult of the Corporation Elections, have stated that nine Tories and nine Liberals have been returned ; but this gives the public an incorrect idea of the matter. With the exception of the Radicals, who are Reformers, and who sprung into existence in advocating Reform when it was very unpopular with the higher classes, politics have had but little to do with the Parliamentary elections in Chiches ter. The parties should rather be called " Richmondites" and " Anti-Richmondites," than Tories or Whigs, Conser vatives or Destructives. The Orange are Richmondit es , always re a dy to vote for the D u k e o f Richmond's friend, while the Blues like to have a man of their own.—Brighton Guardian. SLEEP-WALKING.—On Tuesday evening, as Mr. Donnington, of Haberdashers'-row, Hoxton, was sitting by the fire-side, between ten and eleven o'clock, some one tapped against the window-shutters, when, to his astonish ment, lie found it to be his son, a boy about nine years of age, who had got out of bed in his sleep, lifted up the sash of his chamber window, nearly twelve feet from the ground, and descended into the street, without the least apparent injury. The account the boy gives i s , that he dreamed thugs', an old lady, who lives next door to his father's house, for whom he has been in the habit of going of errands, wanted him to fetch a pint of ale, and he was going to the public house in obedience to her request.
