Morning .. 13 minutes after 3 I Evening .. 32 minutes after 3, Ant LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1844. The LORD CHANCELLOR last evening communi cated her MAJESTY'S answer to the address presented by the House on Saturday. Lord BROUGHAM said considerable anxiety pre vailed among persons who wished for the abolition of the Slave Trade, in consequence of reports respecting negotiations which were going on between France and England on the treaty of 1830 and 1833, and he would, therefore, be glad to hear from the Foreign Secretary any statement on the subject that might be consistent with his public duty. Lord ABERDEEN said negotiations were going on; but the House might rest assured that nothing would be done which could in any way impair the means of suppression of the abominable traffic in slaves. The Duke of WELLINGTON stated, in reference to a motion of Earl FITZIVILLIAM, that he would offer no opposition to a return relative to the military and police in Ireland. He trusted, however, the Noble Earl would forbear all reference to recent events in Ireland. Earl ..rnzwiLuAm expressed his concurrence in the views of the Noble Duke, and the returns were ordered. Lord NORMANUT postponed his motion, on the state of Ireland, till Tuesday the 13th. The LORD CHANCELLOR informed the House that he had received- a letter from Admiral PARKER, acknowledging the tote of thanks agreed to by their Lordships, for the gallant conduct of the British naval force engaged in the operations in China. Lord MINTo thought some further mark of her MAJESTY'S approbation should have been conferred on Admiral PARKER, when, after a few words from the Earl of HADDINGTON, Lord BROUGHAM said it was most unconstitutional to interfere with the pre rogative of the Crown. 41. brief discussion then took place on the Duke of RICHMOND'S Bill relative to betting on public sports, which was referred to a Select Committee. Lord MONTEAGLE gave notice, that he should move for certain returns on Tuesday (this day) from the Bank of England, and the House adjourned at Six o'Clock. In the Commons, on the motion of Mr. STRUT?, a Select Committee on petitions for private Bills was appointed.. The names of the Members will be found in the Parliamentary report. In answer to a question from Sir C. RAPIER re lative to the establishment of military posts by the United States on the Oregon territory, Sir R. PEI. said he had no other information than that which the Gallant Officer had. In answer to:another question from Mr. PATTISON, relative to any alteration in the sugar duties this session, the Right Hon. Baronet said the Hon. Gen tleman was the youngest Member in the House, and that alone could justify him in putting such a question. In answer to dthird question from Lord JOHN Rus- SELL, respecting the Oregon territory, Sir ROBERT PEEL said that some progress towards an arrangement had been already made, and the British Minister who had gone out had very full instructions on the subject. In answer to a fourth question from Mr. HAWES relative to the Post-office, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not see any necessity for the renewal of the Post-office Committee. With regard to a paragraph in a morning paper stating that the whole of the revenue of the Post-office was to be ap plied to carry out certain improvements in that esta blishment, there was not the slightest authority for supposing that it emanated from the Government. Lord JEEMYN presented her MAJESTY'S answer to the address. • Mr. BLEWITT said a report prevailed that her MA JESTY was in debt, or in the Parliamentary phrase, that a deficiency of the civil list had occurred, and that there would be an application to Parliament on the subject. Sir ROBERT PEEL said he was sorry to hear any Member of the House give credence to such a ru mour. It was entirely destitute of foundation. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in answer to a question from Captain PECHELL, said he was afraid the report of the Census Commissioners could not be laid before Parliament this session. Lord LINCOLN said, in answer to a question from Captain BERNAL, that the erection of the Nelson Monument in Trafalgar-square, was under the management of a Committee, but the other works were under the direction of the officer of the Woods and Forests. Mr. GLADSTONE moved for a Select Committee to consider the Standing Orders relating to Railways, and to consider whether any and what new provisions should be introduced into new Railway Bills. A number of Members spoke, but as the discussion was not long and the subject is of the first importance, we refer our readers to the Report. The motion was agreed to. On the motion of Mr. GLADSTONE a Select Com mittee was appointed to inquire into the Merchant Seamen's Fund. After some routine business, the House adjourned at Seven o'Clock. A few words which fell from Dr. BOWRING in the course of his speech on the late outbreak of the Irish Attorney-General, in the discussion on Friday, deserves consideration. After speaking of the causes which have led to the present excited state of popular feeling in Ireland, and which have induced a very large and extensive party in that country to advocate the repeal of the legislative union, as a panacea for their miseries, the Hon. and Learned Member proceeded to press forward the lesson which this state of things suggests, in reference to questions which lie nearer home than even Irish commotion. " The more," re marked the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, "he saw of our present mode of government, the greater was his conviction that local legislation was required. And when he saw how little the Legislature had done for Wales, how little for Scotland, how little for Ireland ; when he observed how much ignorance of the real wants of the people prevailed amongst the Members of that House, he could not help becoming more and more convinced of the great need there was for local legislation." This appears to us a most important reflection. At present, indeed, we are only. menaced with a - division of the British empire from one quarter -of its ter= ritory, and we trust that that menace is far too im potent to prevail. We believe, indeed, that if only proper measures are taken that fatale separation may never occur. The union of the two countries may even be consolidated by means of a wise, liberal, and enlightene line of policy, such as the present disastrc:-..: sLa' 4tiairs suggests. But there is another alternative, .1 we tremble for the peace and prosperity of the empire while an in fatuated Ministry have it in their power to resort to it. By spurning all remedial measures as needless — by regarding Ireland as permanently tranquillised through physical force—by continuing to treat her population as they have been treated, as helotes to this country, " aliens in blood, language, and religion," from ourselves—by maintaining a hateful intolerance towards the religion of seven-eighths of the population —by denying them, as we do at this very day, the protection of equal laws—by conduct such as this, a Ministry may and will jeopardise the union between this country and Ireland. What is going on in Ireland is pregnant with most important counsel as to what is taking place in other parts of the empire. Why Ireland dislikes her rulers is evident. She has no confidence in them. She has witnessed their shameful disregard of justice. She has had too convincing evidence of their indifference to her prosperity. Carry forward the investigation nearer home. Men are men all the world over. The same passions actuate the human breast in all climes and under every modification of society. A hatred of injustice is as instinctive in the Russian serf as it is in the Swiss free man. Natural dictates may be for the time quelled, but they never can be wholly eradicated. Will the people of the remainder of the British Empire for ever submit to partial legislation, to legislation conceived in ignorance, and therefore carried out into oppres sion ? Will Welshmen — will Scotchmen—will En glishmen for ever endure that their wrongs should go on accumulating ? It will be replied, they have done so, why may they not continue? We point to Ireland, and ask, how is it that a nation, resolute, brave, and intelligent as she is, has suffered centuries of op pression without resistance, deferring the day of her redemption till the cup of her w oes has run over, and the only answer which suggests, itself is derived from the forbearance and long suffering of man. But there is a period to all things, and thel, limit beyond which tyrants may not trample on die privileges of their slaves may be near at hand. It is worth the while of legislators to look for it before it has arrived. We have perused,—as matter of routine duty, rather than from any expectation of enlightening our selves or others by such perusali—the usual " Stand ing Orders" of the House of Con imons, in their usual printed form among the " Votes:and Proceedings" of Friday last. There they are, as :they have been, year after year,for the last 60 or 70 year s. most sententiously announced, most technically word ed, and with solemn gravity propounding constitutional axioms which are violated every week in the year, -without even decent pretences to concealment, and wiith impunity as cer tain as the visits of Sir R. Pox L's income-tax col lectors. Thus the world is seri lously apprised that the House bath " Resolved--Th at it is a high in fringement of the liberties an d privileges of the Commons of the United Kingdoi n, for any Lord of Parliament, or other Peer or Pll ;late, not being a Peer of Ireland at the time elected, aJ I not having declined to serve for any county, city, or borough of Great Britain, to concern himself in:the. election of Members to serve for the Commons in Parliament." The Tory journals supply the illustration_ of the practical work ing of this " order," and the Oppositicin jour nals confirm that illustrati on, by the contro versy—not yet quite cos leel—about the un toward return of Mr. BRI.Gitl for the city of Durham. " We have beaten ,you," (cry the Liberals and the Whigs) " on your own si tcred ground. All the Church and Tory interest - that used to be suc cessfully enlisted for •the ret - arn. of the thick-and thin-going Lord DUNGANNO.Iir, 1 ave failed against our Anti-Corn-law League ult ra, Mr. BRIGHT:' " True," respond the discoinfin 2d Conservatives— " but your success is owing- on ly to defection in our own camp." This defmtit m is an admitted fact between both parties ;. ; and when asked wherein it consists, the answer et .mmon to both is— that my Lord LONDONDERBY, hav ing taken offence (as he is very apt to do) at some ) previous slight, real or imaginary (which his Lordship is nervously acute in detecting), in neglecting to coin ult him about the choice of a former candidate (an ab. 3tinence implying more wisdom than one would readily ascribe to the ci-devant constituents of Loyd Du, wommoN), "the Gallant Marquis declined to exert his influence with his numerous tenantry, tradesmen, &c., in the prebendal city." Can any commen tary more strongly demonstrate the general rule of violating the "Standing Order" we are now adverting to than this admitted exception Y It is evident that in Durham (and the case is the same in some hundred other places) Peers of the realm do, customarily and notoriously, " concern themselves in the election of Members to serve for the Commons." This " Standing Order," then, in the shape of a " Resolution," has about as much moral reality or effect, in discountenancing the prac tices it is levelled at, as the stone corbels at the doors of the Treasury in intimidating the "men of silk" who defraud the public revenue ;—or the sculptured gothic effigy of the treasure plunderer en the entrance into the old Exchequer Chamber of Westminster Hall, in deterring such delinquencies as forgeries of Exchequer Bills. Then we find, in virtue of No. 33, that the Ser geant-at-Arms is strictly enjoined, "from time to time," to " take into his custody any stranger or strangers that he shall see, or be informed of to be in the House or gallery, while the House, or any Committee of the whole House, is sitting. No per son so taken to be discharged out of custody without special order of the House." Again, specially " Ordered, that no Member of this House do pre sume to bring into it any stranger whilst the House is sitting." Now, let us see how this "order" is ob served in practice every day throughout the session. In the first place, there are three galleries besides those for the resort of Members. One, calculated to contain about 100 persons, is appropriated every even ing to parties introduced, each by a written order —not " special" of " the House," but—of any indi vidual Member. A second, of less capacity and more eligibly placed, is devoted to parties introduced under order of the Speaker himself, by their names having been previously entered on the Speaker's list. A third is the Reporter's Gallery, filled every clay of the session, from the commencement to the end of the House's proceedings, by the gentlemen who contri bute the reports to the London papers. Each and all of these. galleries are occupied entirely by "strangers." Thus,--first the Members in their indi vidual capacity ; secondly, the Speaker in his ; lastly, the doorkeepers under the sanction of the Speaker,— are each and all of them daily, notoriously, and openly violators of this " Standing Order." But the impunity with which the Sergeant-at-Arms neglects the injunction of these " orders " is still more amazing. That he may have no plea of inadvertency or ignorance, he is not allowed to acquit his responsibility by one irruption into the gallery ; he is " from time to time" to take unhappy strangers into his safe keeping for their intrusion. Neither shall he plead that be "has not seen " such parties, for he must perform his duty if he be even " informed" of their presence. Therefore, unless the Sergeant habitually turns his back upon—the Order of the House and the galleries—so as not to see at all; —he cannot "from time to time" do what he is en joined to do. Unless he be as wilfully deaf, as he is technically blind, he must not hear when information touching such offenders is given to him. Unless the public be contented, and their interests consulted, by these barefaced infractions and contempt of Parlia mentary orders, the•orders must be periodically re newed, with all the solemnities that can consecrate dead letters ! Such things are no batter than tom fooleries in the year of grace 1844. The accounts from Madrid are to the 28th ult. The Gazette contains a decree for organising a Royal bank at Madrid, under the name of tke "Bank of ISABEL II." In the Eco del Commercio is the fol lowing. extract of a letter from Alicant :—" The Government have determined to institute an inquiry into the cause of the insolvency of the British Mining COmpany in that City, which had been directed ex clusively by British subjects, having at their head the British Consul, WARINa. In the month of April last ; it was stated that the profits made by the Com pany had amounted to an enormous sum, equal to 61 per cent. on the capital subscribed, all of which had since disappeared." _ The Three per Cents. were done on the 27th at 27 cash, and 27 3-16 at 60 days, and the Fives at '2O for the 15th of March. We have received the Paris papers of the 2d and 3d inst. Beth Chambers met on Friday. In the Chamber of Deputies, in announcing the death of General BERTRAND, the faithful companion of NA POLEON in his adversity, M. DE BRICQUE VILLE said, " his loss will be keenly felt by all well-thinking men. We have now a duty to fulfil—to unite his ashes to those of the Emperor. The Chamber, in so doing, will perform an act for which France will feel grateful. It is only just to bring together in the tomb two men whom history will not disunite. I appeal, therefore, to the Chamber to deliberate on the means of satis fying this desire, common, I think, to us all: With your permission, I shall draw up a proposition on the subject, and present it regularly." The motion was adopted by acclamation. In the Chamber of Peers the Minister of Public Instruction (M. VILLEMAIN) introduced a bill on secondary instruction. If we may judge from the papers it will meet with great op position on the part of the Church and its supporters. 'The Journal des Debats adverts to it in favourable terms. " The principal question," it states "is frankly and literally and liberally solved, agreably to the promise of the Charter; but it is solved at the same time with all the prudence and reserve which incorrigible passions and turbulent pretension have rendered necessary. The liberty of instruction is proclaimed; the right of families recognised ; but the right of the State is scrupulously reserved ; the action and authority of the Government are guaranteed by the conditions, formalities, and se curities required of the directors of private schools. We remarked that those guarantees were more corn - plete and more rigorous in the new project of law , than in the one submitted three years ago to the Chamber of Deputies. We shall not undertake to justify in that respect the present project of law ; the occurrences of the last three years sufficiently account for the additional guarantees which the Government has thought proper to demand of those who claim, with a view and a tone known to all, the right of concurring with the Uni versity in the education of future generations. Such is the bearing of the clause, in virtue of which every candidate pretending to the direction of a private seminary of education, is obliged to affirm that he belongs to no congregation unauthorised' by the laws." It is viewed, however, in a very different 'light by the High Church party, as we learn from the following rabid attack made .on it by their organ, the Univers :—" The odious con ' tends for precedence with the absurd. It is a law against liberty; it is the most completely injurious and perfidious monopoly of the present times. The University wishes to supply all the professors, to nominate all the judges, to burthen all the budgets, and thus force the dissemination of its doctrines. If such a laW be established, then there will be an end to religion and to liberty; the Charter will become a fallacy—the Church a slave. We will not seek to characterise the consciences of those who can submit to this debasement. • The project comes from M. VILLEMAIN ; his name is stamped on every line." Intelligence was received at Paris on Satur day of the death of Donna CARLOTTA, wife of Don FRANCESCO DE PAULA, which took place at Madrid on the 29th ultimo. She had a severe attack of measles, which terminated fatally on the third day. She was sister of the King of NA PLES, and consequently of Queen CHRISTINA and the Duchess of BERRY. Her death will cause much scir, and some revolutions, too, in political circles at Ma drid. She was in her 34th year. The resignation of M. SALVANDT formed the great topic of conversation at Paris, from the personal interest which the ICING took in the division respecting the London pilgrims. Report says that LOUIS PHILIPPE, in an interview with the ex-ambassador, laid his hand on the grand cross of the Legion of • Honour which -SALVANDY wore, and , said—" I did not gii:e you that to vote against my dynasty." Cu the 'subject the Debate says : " A report was current.. three, daS'S, agoi.that on Monday evening, on leaving the Palace of the Tuileries, after a pri • vats conversation with the King,.M. de Salvandy sent to his Majesty his resignation of the embassy at Turin. This fact is true. On Thursday it wAs.stated, first, that M. de Sal.; vandy was disposed to withrirrnw.his Fsiguat ion, and secondly, that he would shortly Kt ; out on . his return to his post.

Count Mortier is appointed Ambassador at Turin, and is replaced in the embassy at Berne by the Count de Pontois." The French budget for the year 1845 is calculated at 1,276,000,000 E, about fifty-one • millions sterling.' The Minister for Public Works demands an increase of 2,717,000 f. for the repair of high roads, rivers, &c. The budget of the Minister of War presents a reduction of 2,000,000 f. for the service of the in terior, and of 74,000 f. for Algeria. The budget of the Minister of Marine is 143,734 E less than .that of the present year. The reduction in the service of the different administratiOns amounts to more than 13,000,000 f.

WINDSOR, MONDAY. — Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert have remained in privacy during the day. The Ladies and Gentlemen of the. Royal suite have not quitted the Castle. The Archbishop of Canterbury had an interview with Lord Stanley yesterday, at the Colonial-office. A deputation, consisting of Mr. Glyn, Chairman of the London and Birmingham Railway Company, Mr. Baxendale, and several other gentlemen connected with Railways, had an interview with the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone yesterday, at the Office of the Board of Trade. Captain James Clark Ross, Royal Navy, had an in terview yeSterday with Lord Stanley. Sir Robert Peel had an interview with the Duko of Wellington yesterday, at the office of the Commander in -Chief, Horse Guards. Earl Jermyn, M.P., Treasurer of her Majesty's House hold, transacted business yesterday afternoon at the Home-office. Sir James Graham had an interview with Lord Wharncliffe yesterday, at the Council-office. Mr. Ogden had an interview with Lord Stanley yes terday at the Colonial-office. Dispatches were received yesterday afternoon, at the Colonial-office, from the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and also for the Governors of Malta and Gibraltar. The Judicial Committee of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council sat yesterday, at the Council office. The Lords present were the Master of the Rolls, Lord Brougham, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall. Sir E. Ryan at as a Privy Councillor. Mr. Charles Buller and Mr. Jackson were heard for the appellant on an appeal from the Court of Sudder Dewanny Adawlut at Bombay, " Juswunt Singh Jee Übby v. Jet Singh Jee." Mr. Wigram, Queen's Counsel, Mr. Lloyd, and Mr. E. F. Moore, appeared for the respondent. The Master of the Rolls gave judgment on the part of their Lordships, dismissing the appeal with costs. The Court then rose. ADELPHI THEATRE. A dramatic version of Charles Dickens's Christmas Carol was produced at this theatre last evening, with the most complete success. All the incidents in the " Carol" are preserved, and are presented in a series of tableaux, which are most efficiently got up. Mr. Fizziwig's ball, which closed the first stave or act, was excellently managed, and vociferously encored. 0. Smith was Scrooge, the miser, and certainly his Scrooge is one of the most artistical things we have ever seen. He enters thoroughly into the spirit of his author throughout. In the earlier scenes, as the sordid, calculating, money-getting hunx —the hater of every innocent amusement—he was, indeed, the man of the frozen heart ; and then, at the close, when he discovers that even money may be bought too dearly, that all his avarice is but folly, or something worse, that there is a happiness beyond what money can purchase, and determines to make that happiness his, by making those about him happy —when his heart thaws, and the remembrances of the better feelings of his youth come crowding on his memory, there was a mellowness, a warmth, a hearti ness, a pathos about his acting which we never re member to have observed in him before, and for the possession of which we had never given him credit. His Scrooge is a first-rate piece of acting, and it is worth a visit to this theatre to see that alone. The other characters were all well supported. Wright's Bob Crutchit, the half-starved clerk, was admirable—his look, his manner, his dress, his atti tudes, all were in keeping. Nothing could be better than Bob's Christmas family dinner party. Mrs. Crutchit (excellently acted by Mrs. )N . Mathews), Peter, Martha, and though last, not least, poor little ' Tiny Tim, a ll were there, and all were h appy . Ti ny Tim was beautifully acted by little Miss Maynard. This child is exceedingly talented; there is a truth to nature in!her delineation of this most interesting charac ter, a quiet intensity of feeling which she could never have acquired from teaching. The mise en scene of the piece is beyond all praise, and it will doubtless have a long run. 0. Smith was called for at the fall of the curtain, and when he retired there were loud calls for 'Wright, who also made his appearance, lead ing on little Miss Maynard. They were both loudly applauded. The house was exceedingly well filled. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERsALL's—YEsTERDAy. CHESTER CUP. 14 to 1 agst Mr. Collett's Cattonite—taken 15 to 1 agst Mr. W.

The extraordinary number of acceptances for the above event offer the best compliment the handicapper can receive, and will, beyond doubt, make it a leading feature in the spe culations at the Corner. Already does our list contain several names hitherto strange to the London market, at the same time that it exhibits some striking alterations amongst the esta blished favourites. Sir Robert, it will be seen, has succumbed to the opposition, and is no longer " premier," Cattonite, backed by his owner, having taken his place, with Merry Andrew as second in command, and strongly fancied. The Prior receded to 18. to 1, but left off with backers. Of the other horses mentioned above, Jamie Forest, Martyr, and Tacita appeared to have the strongest parties.

We have some hesitation in quoting Leander's price : 14 to 1 was taken to a considerable amount, and a point less by two or three parties at the same time ; however, a speculator who had laid the larger odds, was expressing his readiness to go on at the same figure. 18 to 1 was laid agst Orlando —3O to 1 to 3001. agst Cockamaroo-600 to 30 agst Voltri -33 to 1 (afterwards offered)-1,000 to 30 and 2,000 to 55 agst Apprentice, and several bets agst outsiders.

The Coinmerce says that the Cabinet has at length deter.; mined to bring forward the dotation question. It adds, .that the King considers the question as one of vital iiuportance to his dynasty, and that, should it be rejected, *he will dis solve the Chamber and appeal to the country.

A Court. mourning for his late Royal Highness the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, will, it is expected, be published in the Gazette this evening. The State apartments at Windsor Castle were closed to the public by command of her Majesty, in consequence of the lamented demise of his Serene Highness the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha. Viscount Melbourne, since his return to town-from Brockett Hall, has been suffering from indisposition arising from a cold. The Noble Viscount was considerably better yesterday. Lord and Lady Beauvale arrived in town on Saturday, from Panshanger. Viscount and Viscountess Jocelyn continue at Panshanger, with Earl and Countess Cowper, till the 12th inst., when the Viscountess comes to town to enter on her duties as Lady in - Waiting on her Majesty. The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, accompanied by Lord Bernard and Lady Mary Howard, leave town on their return to Arundel Castle, at the close of the week. The Duke and Duchess of Argyll and Lady Emma Camp bell, who are passing the winter at Rome, intend to leave that city at the close of the month, for Naples, and to return to England early in May.

Mr. Sotheron, late Member for Devizes, has announced himself a candidate for North Wilts, in the room of the late • Sir F. Burdett, and Mr. Ludlow Bridges, in the same :in terest has issued an address to the electors of the borough, claiming their suffrages. They are not, however, to be allowed to walk over the ground, as Mr. Sotheron is to be opposed for the county by Mr. Edridge, of Bath, and Mr. Bridges, by , Mr. C. Temple, Q.C., on the part of the Liberals. The nomination for the borough is fixed for Tuesday, the 6th inst., and that for the county for Monday the 12th. The heavy falls of snow in different parts of the country appear to have thrown considerable impediments in the way of railroad travelling in some instances : but the application of the plough and brooms have been found remarkably efficient in clearing off the snow so as to enable the trains to proceed. At an early hour on Thursday morning, the cutlery works kiown as the Soho-wheel, Sheffield, were destroyed by fire The estimated loss is 800/., and there is too much reason to fear that it has been caused by an incendiary. The Government, it is said, has appointed Mr. Carr, solici tor of Excise in Scotland, to be solicitor of Excise in Eng land, in the place of Mr. Dehany, who has been compelled to resign that lucrative office from ill health. This office had been filled for many years by the father of Mr. Carr.• The organisation of the pensioners in Ireland is rapidly going forward. More than 8,000 are already enrolled. The Royal Asiatic Society met on Saturday, at their rooms in Grafton-street, Professor Wilson in the Chair. There were present the Earl of Auckland; Sir E. Colebrooke, Bart., Hon. - Holt Mackenzie, Major Oliphant, Dr. Phillimere, and others. The annual meeting of the Agricultural Association of Buckinghamshire was held at Aylesbury on Saturday. The members afterwards dined together, the Duke of Buckingham in . the chair. About eighty sat down to dinner. The Duke, in returning thanks for his health being drunk, said, in refe rence to the corn-laws, " If gentlemen would only carefully peruse what Sir Robert Peel, as the head of the Government, had said upon the subject, there would be no difficutly in ascertaining what Ministers really meant."—(Cheers.) Rumour says it is the immediate intention of the Duke of Richmond, Viscount Ingestre, M.P. ; Philip Pusey, Esq., M.P., and others, to form a metropolitan Society for the Pro tection of British Agriculture, in order to rival the League. In the course of last week Anti-League meetings were held at Lincoln, Amersham, Bucks, Cambridge, Wetherbv, Yorkshire, and Peebles, Scotland. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have promul gated an order that no tobacco is to be issued to seamen or marines on board ship, while in port, in consequence of the enormous extent to which smuggling in that article has lately been carried on.

BETTING ON THE BENCH.-At the Middlesex Ses sions on Saturday, in a case in which Ann Haggerty and Mary Ann Fitzgerald were defendants, and Louisa Buckworth was complainant, for an assault, it was alleged that complaimant's husband had been poisoned by her, in consequence of giving him too much salad oil. The defendants were the sisters of the deceased, and committed the assault complained of. It turned out to be a regular Irish row, and the defendants, in default of bail, were committed. Sir Peter Laurie, pending the altercation in Court, offered to bet the Recorder fifty guineas to five that the parties would settle the matter over a glass of gin.—The Recorder gravely replied, that he did not know of such a thing as betting on the bench.—John Bull. Lady Taunton, widow of the late Justice Sir W. Taunton, died at her seat, Eweline House , Oxfordshire , on Monday last, in her 71st year. GREAT' STORM AT DERBY.—During Monday night last the wind blew a perfect hurricane at Derby, with occasional heavy showers of rain. On the following night the wind was very boisterous, and we had a complete medley of winter and summer weather—hail, rain, snow, wind, and thunder and lightning. The thunder-storm commenced between four and five o'clock ; the lightning was terrific ; the first clap of thunder followed the flash instantaneously, and the peal was awfully grand. The thunder-storm was suc ceeded by a heavy fall of snow. We have heard not of any particular damage being sustained.—Derby Reporter. ANTEDILUVIAN REMAINS.—A few days since se veral elephants' tusks were discovered in the gravel near Cainscross, one measuring seven and a half feet in length, together with a few bones and teeth. The depth at which these remains were found is nearly twenty feet from the sur face, and although they must have been buried many thou sand years, yet the exterior appearance of the ivory has un dergone but little alteration. An able practical c'iemist of the neighbourhood has submitted a portion to chemical ex amination, and finds the earthy matters existing in the same proportions as in the ivory of the present era; but, as might be auticipated, it was destitute of all organ i c matter.—Chel tenham Examiner. IttiONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, MONDAY EVENING. The Funds maintained the improvement of the morning up to the termination of business, Consols being last marked 97i to both for Money and Time. Exchequer Bills did not vary, nor was • there any alteration in the heavy docks. In the Foreign Marrket, however, there was a further movement upwards, Spanish Fives reaching 24 to * ; the Deferred, 13 ft; and the Three per Cents., 394 to Venezuela were 39i ; Columbian ex-Venezuela, 124 to 12 3-3ds ; and Buenos Ayres, 344 to J. Mexican Actives improved to 344 ; and Belgian to 1064. The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these :—Birmingham and Derby were 39 ; Brighton, 44 to ; Greenwich Preference, 14 ; and Bristol and Exeter par to discount.

(From The Sun of List Night.) ,In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a fair busi ness was done, at firm prices. Sales, 7,000 bales—viz., 200 Surat, at 40. to 41d. ; 40 Eg - yptian, at 84d ; and the rest American, at sid. to 61d.—The Share Market closed firm.

There are not any Colonial arrivals this morning, and the delivery of .the morning mails was very late, owing to the heavy falls of snow that have taken place. The letters from the manufacturing districts continue to read satisfactorily, as respects the prospects of trade. The slight increase that has been made in the issues of notes by the Directors of the Bank of England, as appears by the returns referred to on Saturday, tends to demonstrate, however, that the deinand for accommodation at the bank and its branches in various parts of the countfy, have not been by any means so considerable as was anti cipated. No doubt great caution in this respect continues to be observed by the Court of Directors, the more so as the mania for speculation in cotton, in railways, and in mining shares appears to be rapidly on the increase. There is an opinion prevalent, .that before the middle of the.year, the Bank will possess a sum in bullion not far short of 20 millions sterling. By every arrival from. South America, large remittances arc expected to be received for some time to come, and at the present moment there is scarcely any demand for ex portation. The orders for foreign grain, in anticipation of short crops in this country, do not at the present moment demand the slightest attention. It is true, that about a month or six weeks back, there were many who anticipated a large importatation in the spring, but the high rate that at present rules, and which is likely to con tinue, checks, in .no immaterial degree, the . furor that at the time we haVe' referred to prevailed in favour of speculations in foreign grain. At any rate, the Directors of the Bank of England are now in a po sition to answer demands upon theni; for the exportation .of the precious metals, to the extent of four or five millions sterling, without there being the least necessity for putting on the screw. A firm market his ruled for the British Securities to-day.. Consols for Money and Account have advanced; the former from 97; to 97k, and the latter from 971 to 97k. At the present time prices are scarcely so high. The Commissioners bought about 10,0001. Consols at 971 The Reduced Three per Cents. have fluctuated only from 98 and 98t. A quota tion is given for the New Five per tents. namely, 132.. It is some time since any transaction 'occurred in this Stock, and their prices were very considerably loWer, if our memory serves correctly.. Bank Stock was last quoted on Saturday at• 193 k, but now sales cannot be effected above 192. Exchequer Bills remain at 675., 695. premium, and India Bonds at 82s. premium. An improvoment must be noticed in most of the Foreign Bonds this morning. Austrian Five per Cents. were worth 115 ; Belgian, 106 ; Dutch Five per Cents. 101a*: Portuguese. Converted, 48 ; the Old Five per Cents. 75k ; the Spanish Actives have risen from 23 to 23k a, and the Three pet Cents. from 31; to 32; ; Mexican' and Portuguese Stocks are a trifle higher than they were on Saturday. • A very varied market has prevailed for Railway Shares to-day. The most important • features are a rise in the London • and : Bitmingham Shares to 144 premium ; and .in the ; "Gieat lire*rn to 38 premium.

The Journal des Debats observes, that it appears from the account published • by the Governor of the Bank of France that the increasing business which appeated to be progressive for some years past, has, during the veal. 1843, been sud denly arrested without the existence of any of those causes which too frequently paralyze ctmmerce. The reduction during the year 1843 may be termed considerable, as it amounts to 185,000,000' out of 1,268,000,000. The only rea son which can be adduced for this reduction is; that more commercial bargains have been concluded for cash in conse quence of the abundance of capital. The following is the comparison between the amount of bills discounted during the year 1843 and the two preceding years :—The commer cial bills 'discounted during the year 1843 amounted to 771,500,000 f., in 1842 to 944,000,000 f, and in .1841 to to 886,000,000 f. The amount of cash advanced by the. Bank on canal shares amounted in the year 1843 to 13,000,000 f., and in 1842 to 17,000,000 f. Cash advanced on Governinent stock amounted in the year . 1843 to 26,000,000 f., in 1842 to 35,000,000 f. Cash advanced on bullion amounted in the year 1843 to 25,000,000 E, in 1841 to 93,000,000 f. In fine, the sum total advanced to the Paris merchants during the year • 1843 amounted •to 1,083,000,000 f., instead of 1,268,000,000 f as in 1842, and 1,21 9 ,000,000 f. in 1841.. The amount ofcommercial bills dis counted in the ten branch banks established at Angouleme f Besancon, Caen, Chateauroux, Clermont Ferrand, Grenoble, Montpellier, Rheims, Saint Etienne, and St. Quentin, in creased in the year 1843 to 240,000,000, from 230,000,000 id 1842, and 186,000,000 in the year 1841. "It must -be ad mitted," adds the Debuts, " that the circulation of Bank notes is the weak point of the Bank of Fiance. The average circulation in Paris during the year 1843 was 230,000,000 f. The bullion in reserve, however, composed principally of cash belonging to the Treasury and to private individuals - , amounted to 226,000,000 f. Thus the Bank issues just as- much paper as it has cash in its cellars—that is to say, that the ad vantage which accrues to society as far as regards circulation is precisely null. If the Bank of Paris issued notes as low as 100 f. in place of 500 f, and if the Treasury, as in England, would receive those notes in payment of taxes, this reduction in the amount of the notes issued would not expose the Bank to any danger, as those notes would always have a free circu lation. DEATH OF LADY PENNEL GRANT OF GRANT.—We regret to record the demise of Lad d Fennel Grant of Grant, sister of the Right Hon. the Earl of Seafield, who expired at West-park, near Elgin, on Saturday, the 27th ult. 'Lady Grant inherited, in a high degree, the amiable and virtuous dispositions of her noble family. Retired and unobtrusive in her habits, her chief enjoyment consisted in the'exereisa of social virtues and Christian benevolence. Her memory will be long cherished and venerated by all who knew her, for to know her was to love and respect her.—lnverness Paper.

CURIOUS MARRIAGE.--Last week, a clock-maker, residing in this city, up o n wh ose cou ntenance might be traced the march of time, and a female, who was about his equal in years, presented themselves in the church of St. Cuthbert, for the purpose of being united in the holy bonds of matrimony, under the following singular circumstanced It seems, from the statement of our correspondent, that they had " —l'ng sync" been married in " bonnie Scotland," accord ing to the rites observed by the church of that country, and having lately unfortunately di sc overed that the minister was suspended at the time the gordion knot" was tied, they de termined, in order to allay their qualms of conscience, to ap pear a second time before the altar of hymen, and accord ingly, on the above occasion, • they effectually riveton them. ted those bonds which they supposed h ad hung too loosely up --York Courant. LITETt A TITRE. THE BROTHERS. 3 Volt. CoMorn, London, 1844. The civil wars of the Fronde, the most inconsistent, mismanaged, and puerile of any recorded in modern history, in which neither party seemed to be in ear nest, or to have the slightest c:nfidence in the wisdom and justice, of their cause; the principal le a d e rs, anti among them that overrated 'character, the Prince of Conde, changing sides just as often as suited their convenience, as though the,war was a mere holiday • pastime—these childish civil dissensions form the subject of the tale before us, and having stated this, we need hardly add that the, incidents are supposed to have taken place- in France during the regency of Anne of Ausffia and her wily Minister, Cardinal Mazarin. The hexo is a young Englishman, of good family, by name Henry Mornington, who, having lost all his possessions and many of his relations, during the great civil war in England, goes , over to France as a military adventurer, and obtains .an ap pointment as chef d' escadron in the army raised by the 'court party against the Frondeurs. While' tra velling to join his division through a remote woodland district, he is suddenly alarmed by the cries of dis tress uttered in a female voice, and hurrying u p to the spot whence. the •sound proceeds, he finds a carriage overturned in the highway, close to Which a beautiful young girl is standing, wringing her hands, and e*hibit ing tokens of the ,deepest affliction ; while, at few yards distance, two men, who happen to b e brothers, are fighting with all the fury of desperation, and be fore the English traveller can separate them, they fall mortally wounded by each other's swords. Theladyr `being thus left alone, and 4efenceless, is escorted by Mornington to a neighbouring convent, where he soon learns, from her own lips, the sad story of her life-- how she was an orphan, but heiress to large entates• and how, in consequence, she was courted by the two sons of her guardian, neither of whom she liked, and who, being distrustful of each other, one of them had resolved on carrying her off, and marrying her, in spite of herself, but being overtaken by the other on the road, a mortal battle had taken place between the two brothers. On hearing this painful narrative, Mornington, feeling for the wholly unprotected state of the Lady Isabel, makes an offer at once of 'hie hand, which she unhesitatingly accepts, and they are privately mar r i e d, a t n i ght, in t h e - c hapel of the convent. Immediately afterwards, however, the bridegroom is compelled to set forward to join his regiment, and scarcely is he gone, with the promise of a speedy return, than Isabel her self is tarred off by a party of ruffians, and, after un dergoing'a world of romantic adventures, is festored . to Mornington, with which auspicious event the story concludes. There is no want. of exciting incident in the story, but its principal recommendations are its battle scenes, which are pourtrayed with all that vigour and picturesque skill which we admired in the Author's first work, " Oliver Cromwell." I,Va know' no novelist of the day—not even Mr., Lover..--wh!,' imparts such life and spirit to hi s d ecr i p ti on s battles, as 'Mr. Herbert ; but when he attempts t°,. bring forth the nicer points of characte r , h e Onus' invariably fails, his various personages, with scarcely one exception, being deficient in individuality. ' THE BUILDER. We have here the fourth part of a new week', magazine which, as its title sufficiently indicates9,.. l devoted almost exclusi v ely t o arc hit ec t ura l subjec't and is illiistrated by a variety of appropriate engra l ," ings, executed, for the most part, with ver y passabl e CHRISTIAN'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
