No business was done in the House of Lords last evening; but Lord CAMPBELL made a few remarks on the affair of the Rev. Mr. MARSH, which show the case of Bishops. He said the Bishop of PETERBOROUGH on a former evening had stated that he could not interfere, because the offence had been committed out of his diocese, but on referring to an Act of Parlia ment he found that the Bishop could bring the case before the Court of Arches. The Bishop of PETERBOROUGH thanked the Learned Lord for the information, and excused him self for not carrying out the law to its full extent on the ground that the delinquent's mother resided at the parsonage, in a delicate state of health, and any agitation might have been fatal. The Bishop made some other remarks, which showed the most kindly disposition towards his frail brethren. He concluded by saying, that the greatest care was taken in examining the character and qualifications of the candidates for the sacred ministry. The House adjourned at an early hour. After the presentation of petitions in the Commons, Ca-ut. POLHILL gave notice, that on Mr. TURNER in troduning a Bill for the Abolition of he should move an amendment to the effect that the pre sent laws are sufficiently stringent. Mr. S. CRAWFORD gave notice, that on an early ( Jay after Easter, he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to extend the Parliamentary Suffrage. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex ctrEQunß the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities Bill, and the other, Bills connected with the reduction of the interest on the different Stocks, were read a third time and passed. Sir ROBERT INnias put several questions to Sir 11:MIERT PEET. about idolatry in India, and especially inquired whether steps had been taken to stop the pen sion to the idol of Juggernaut. si r Ron;,wr PEEL said, that on the arrival of the next Indian isJail he should be able to inform the Hon. Member for Oxford of the steps taken by the Government of India on the subject, and would lay all the correspondence before the House. After questions from Mr. BELLEW, relative to the exclusion of Roman Catholics from juries in Ireland, to which Lord ELIOT gave no satisftictorx answers, Mr. WALLACE put the six questions relative to railways, of which he had given notice, to Mr. GLADSTONE. They are briefly given in the Parlia mentary report, and it is needless to repeat them, or the answers, as they cannot be made shorter. We may infer, however, from the Right Hon. Member's : statement, that he is satisfied with the present system of railways. In answer to a question from Lord J. RUSSELL, Sir J. GRARAM said that, on Monday next he vcould give notice of the day when he would introduce a Bill relative to the Irish franchise. After some observations by Mr. ESCOTT, on the illegality of fees taken by clerks of the peace from defendants, in which Sir JAMES GRAHAM concurred, the House went into Committee on the Factories Bill. On the second clause being read, L or d ASHLEY moved an amendment, to limit the time of labour to ten hours in the day, and en tered at length into the hardships of the operatives in cotton manufactories. A long discussion ensued, w :hich was terminated by Mr. WAEnuitTom moving that the Chairman report progress. This motion was ag• Ned to; and, after disposing of the other busi ness on .the paper, the House adjourned at One o'Clock. As it is probat;le that, by this time, the remarkable speech of Mr. CoDD:on of Tuesday evening last, on moving " for a Select Committee to inquire into the e ft:lets produced upon the interests of tenant-farmers an d _farm -labourers by protective duties upon im ports:, will have been largely read and deliberated upon by t. lia public at large, and the agricultural in terest in pa. vticular..... ; we are induced to address our selves, again, to some of the more prominent among the multiplied topics which it embraced. It is out of no disparaging estimate of the very able speeches delivered on the same occasion by those who fol lowed the Honourable Member for Stockport, that we shall limit these observations to his address. The points to which we would now direct the attention of our readers, were so ably and succinctly put, and so cleverly argued by the Hon. Mover, that, after touch ing upon these, our limits would leave us no oppor tunity for enlarging upon the skill and intelligence with which his motion was seconded and enforced, To Mr. COBDEN every candid mind must concede the praise of having irresistibly demonstrated the propo sition involved in the terms of his motion. To have shown, then, (and despite the majority of 91 against the appointment of the Select Committee, we will venture to add) to the conviction of the House of Commons, that these protective duties upon imports, with reference more especially to corn, wool, and other agricultural produce, are at once illusory and prejudicial to the very interests they purport to protect —is successfully to have broken ground before the stronghold of monopoly and vicious legislation, from which it is indispensable to the welfare of the country to dislodge, forthwith, the powerful influ ences which have so long occupied it, to the detriment of our national prosperity. We are glad to observe that the Minister, upon whom the official duty devolved of opposing Mr. COBDEN (Mr. GLADSTONE himself would not term his own speech an answer), did all justice to its tone and spirit. These were, however, not more praise worthy than the matter which the Member for Stock port had concentrated in the illustrative facts and statistics on which he rested his motion. The speech, in any House of Commons differently constituted, — with any Administration of sounder political prin ciple and more enlarged judgment, than those to which it was delivered,—must have bespoken for it the con currence of all parties with whom mere party consi derations were still subsidiary and subordinate to the consideration of their country's good. A brief retrospect of the topics which this speech urged with most force, may suffice to prove that we are not claiming too much for it. Mr. COBDEN set out by honestly avowing that he meant to speak as the advocate of the agricultural interest especially. In that character, if the House would grant him the Committee for which he would move, he would show the utter fallacy of that fro tection, embodied in the duties he referred to, which, instead of being, as it purported to be, a benefit and an advantage to, was, in itself, a fallacy, and operated to the serious injury of, the tenant-farmer. Far from admitting that this so-ealled " protection" to our do mestic agriculture had ever worked properly or bene ficially to it, it had turned out, he maintained, from the first, a rank delusion. He then referred to the " first Corn-law" Committee oflBls ;—(a sort of con ventional error, this, which creeps, we perceive, into late corn-law discussions ; seeing that the " corn"- law on which the subsequent cora-trade-regulating statutes of the reigns of GEORGE 111. and GEORGE IV., were passed, was the 22d of CHARLES 11., passed in 1670). He showed that in the deliberations and report of that Committee of 1815, it was held that the British farmer could not obtain adequate protection, unless he got 80s. a quarter for his wheat. But in addition to the adoption of this principle into the legislation that ensued, he asked Mr.BENETT, of Wilt shire, whether it was not at that period a favourite theory with the landed interest, that wheat could not be profitably grown in this country until the farmer got 965. a quarter, or Bs. a bushel for it ? Her MA JESTY'S Government in 1844, however, were not will ing to concede a higher rate than 565. the quarter ; but before such a Committee as he called for, he would undertake to bring many old farmers who would state, that, after 1815, tenant farms had been valued after this assumed rate of 80s. for the quarter ; whereas it was declared and established in 1821, in the resolutions publicly agreed to by one of the sub sequently formed agricultural societies, that wheat was then realising no more than 435. Now the effect of the alterations made since the last corn-law of all, under the Government of Sir ROBBRT PEEL, had been this : on the ground assumed that the price of wheat must be 565. under the new protection, rents were fixed in reference to that rate. Let the Committee be appointed, and he would produce before- it an individual occupying his own land, who was rated in reference to this price— the selling actual price of wheat in the market being, at the same moment, only 475. the quarter. When this party complained of the wrong he suffered from being thus over-rated, he had the singular satisfaction of learning that the principle on which the rate had been laid was "probably" the Right Hon. Baronet's erroneous assumption of the price of corn under this " protecting" law. Thus far we have been much struck with the coincidence of Mr. COBDEN'S conclusions on the utter inefficiency of corn-law attempted pro tection, with those we had found in a little tract put forth by the Society for the Emancipa tion of Industry, entitled " An Appeal to Farmers and Landowners." The conclusions in both instances are alike; the statistics and the process of induction from them, though dissimilar and various, are not conflicting : and thus we may note a very remark able and important coincidence between the advo cates of a revision of our monetary system and the ad vocates for the repeal of our corn-law system. Indeed, when we came to Mr. COBDEN'S very powerful allusion to the apologetic plea of the Premier for in ability to control the profits of trade or the wages of labour, we ai'e free to own that we indulged, at first, in the hope that the Hon. Member for Stock port was about to visit, upon the same head, the more palpable delinquency of his inability to arrest the paralysing operation, on all the industrial energy of the kingdom, of the Currency Bill of 1819. For the results of that disastrous measure, the Right Honourable Baronet can plead, " in arrest of judgment," no present inability. His own per versity, his want of personal knowledge and ex perience, on the subject of that monetary system and all its relations—and his dogged refusal to let in the light of practical information and admitted sagacity upon the one-sided labours of his famous Committee— (although remonstrated with on these points by his own father, and others among the highest fiscal, financial, and mercantile authorities in Great Britain) ; precipitated all the mischiefs, the stagnations of trade, the panics of the money-market, and the con vulsions of commercial credit and confidence, which have since followed upon one another, at unequal, but at certainly-recurring intervals. " The Right Hon. Gentleman told me," said Mr. COBDEN, " he could not regulate the wages of the labourer, or the profits of the manufacturer or trader ;" and then the Hon. Member acutely asked " if he could not guarantee any fixed profits, how could the House possibly fix the price of agricultural com modities?" Nothing could be more forcible than the manner in which he applied this answer to rebuke the overweening notion which the House is apt to enter tainm e nt. of On the a same ui occasion,future of . reasoning e we of it s power to perform this impossible shallachieve ment. o p avail prove o v e how our selves asoning to incontestibly the establishment of a gold standard of value, which left the manufacturers equally with the farmers, without the power of adding gold or natural price of commodities, the • • element of cost which would have represented the taxation charge of producing those commodities was the primary and fatal cause of the subsequent—Ml but hopeless--derangement of the market of labour, and the fearful diminution of wages to an almost destitution-minimum. Madrid Journals of the Bth have been received, but they bring no news. Senor SALAMANCA, it was said, was about to set out for London, for the ostensible pur pese of paying off the arrears due to the Spanish Le gion, but in reality, to try his hand at " raising the wind" on the Stock Exchange. To the monied men, therefore we address a very useful piece of advice — "Rates attention a vos poches." The Three per Cents. were done at 30 for cash, and 301 at 60 days, and the Fives at 22i for cash, and 221 at 60 days. We regret to learn by accounts from Paris of Thurs day that the Spanish General RONCAU, by orders no doubt from NARVAEZ, had signalised the capture of Alicant by butchering many of the unhappy victims. It appears that BONET, the leader of the insurgents, had made a sortie from the town, but was unsuccessful, and was made prisoner with a number of his followers. BONET and twenty-five officers were immediately shot. 'I his mode of celebrating the return of queen CJIBISTINA to Spain is quite in keeping with the character of the nation. This, however, is not the way to settle the affairs of that distracted country ; and, judging from rumours on the Paris Bourse, which are generally believed, a re action had already taken place at Madrid, and during the absence of the QUEEN and her Captain-General an insurrection had broken out against the Government. The French Three per Cents. fell fully one per cent. On Wednesday they closed at 83f. 15c. The principal topic in the Paris papers is the policy pursued at Con stantinople by the British and French Ambassadors, in reference to the execution of Mussulmans for changing their creed. Both Sir STRATFORD CANNING and Baron DE BOURQUENEY have remonstrated in vain against this barbarous practice. They have since absented themselves from Court, and are probably waiting for fresh instruc tions to take some more decided step to bring the SULTAN, or rather his Ministers, to reason. The Liberal press generally praise the conduct of France and Eng land, and urge on M. GUIZOT and Lord ABERDEEN some decisive steps to defeat a new machination of Russia to embroil the affairs of Turkey, and thereby form a plea for military interference. " The news from Constantmople," says the Courricr Francais, "proves that a moral intervention is absolutely required on the part of every Government which has not taken up the determination of favouring the encroach ments of Russia. RIZA Paella is compromising the em pire and the young SULTAN, to the great joy of Russia, which is playing the part of conservative, in order to ruin everything. As to Austria, we have already characterised the Mttternichian diplomacy at Constantinople. It is a shame for Austria to league herself with prevaricating and sanguinary Ministers, when a question of humanity is treated of. We desire that the two Ambassadors of France and England may be Successful ; but nothing will be obtained but by a direct interview with the SULTAN, and the interest of civilisation authorises its re presentatives to use an energetic language—the only one which the Porte can at present comprehend." The lan guage of the National is equally energetic. We can easily understand the policy of Russia in this affair, but that of Austria is totally incomprehensible. The follow ing particulars, which appear in that journal, will be read with interest : " The intercourse of Christian Europe with Turkey is be coming strangely complicated. On one side, France and England, who proceed together this time, for the benefit. of civilisation, persist in demanding the abolition of this old law of the kingdom, by which two or three Mussulmans, converted to Christianity, have been put to death. On their side, the chiefs of the Mussulman reaction, now at the head of affairs, persist in upholding this law, andi causing it to be executed. If the news, which have come to hand from Con stantinople, through the German papers, be true, the Ambas sadors of France and England display in this conjuncture a rare and laudable energy. The Grand Vizier having re cently invited them, with the rest of the diplomatic body, to a grand dinner, M. de Bourqueney and Sir S. Canning, re fused to attend. The Ambassadors of Prussia, Sardinia, and Holland, acted with the same firmness ; they stayed away on account of mourning. The Russian Ambassador got himself represented by the chief Secretary of the Embassy, and the Austrian Internuncio thought fit to attend in person. This exception does little honour to Russia and Austria. But whatever may be the weakness of Austria, and the in trigues of Russia, we indulge in the hope that the Divan will be restrained by the perseverance of France and England in the cause of humanity, and that the two Powers. who boast of marching at the head of Christian civilisation, will not hesitate to reduce to compliance, even by force, a degraded Government." The Committee appointed to examine the elections of the five Legitimatist Members had reported, that four of them had been duly returned; but, as a protest had been made against the return of M. DE LARCY for Montpelier, further investigation was necessary. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY E-VENING,• MARCH 16, 1844. THE BOURSE-THURSDAY, MARCH 14. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

TEMPLETON'S ENTERTAINMENT Mr. Templeton concluded, on Wednesday evening last, his first series of musical entertainments, at the Music Hall, Store-street. Of the enthusiasm with which the numerous audience greeted the efforts of this accom plished artist for their entertainment, our readers may form some idea from the fact that during the course of the evening there were no less than seven encores. The entertainment on Wednesday consisted of selections from his two popular entertainments, on the subjects of Mary Queen of Scots and of Robert Burns. We were not before aware that Templeton is himself the creator of the spirit-stirring melody, " Put off, put off, and row with speed," which has always been one of the most at tractive portions of his Mary Queen of Scots. It is im possible to do justice to the manner in which lie gave this soul-stirring melody on Wednesday evening; and in King James's song, " There was a jolly beggar," he repre sented the gallant Prince to perfection. The contrast be tween the artificial scenes of the Court and the naive sim plicity of the cottage, was beautifully exemplified by the second part of the entertainment as compared with the first. The second part consisted of the beauties of Burns, and the " native wood-notes wild" of Scotia's greatest poet were warbled by Templeton with a truth to nature which has never been surpassed. How could Templeton be otherwise than great on such a theme ? The son of the poet's old schoolfellow—born and bred on that classic ground which Burns has immortalized— " Each simple air his mot 1; sung Placed on her knee, when helpless youpg, Still vibrates on his ear." Ire perfectly electrified the audience by his " Scots wha hae;" while the delicate and beautiful compliment conveyed to the ladies, in " Green grow the rushes, oh! " was never so completely brought out as it was by Tem pleton's treatment of this exquisite song. At the con elusion of the performances, Mr. Templeton announced that it was his intention, on Thursday, the 28th instant, to produce, at the Hanover-square Rooms, a new musical entertainment, entitled the " Lays of the Last of the Scottish Minstrels, Sir Walter Scott." THE OJIBBEWAY INDIANS AT THE THAMES TUN NEL—Yesterday (Friday) a curious display took place at the Thames Tunnel, which afforded a striking instance of the meeting of extremes—it was a procession of aboriginal men through a work which attests the highest grade of civilisation—a group of savages gazing with wonder on the latest triumph of engineering skill. About noon an omnibus drove up to the entrance of the Tunnel, laden with the Red men of the West, now sojourning for a time amongst us—the Ojibbeway Indians. The appearance of feathered heads, painted faces, bearskin garments, and mocasined legs, In the classic locality of " Wapping Old Stairs," created a general hubbub. Shops were deserted, tools and needles were thrown down, and a general rush attested that curiosity was in no wise wanting amongst the amphibious denizens of this aquatic neigh. bourhood. From the statement of the gentleman who accompanied them, Mr. C stlin, it appeared that these Canadian subjects of Queen Victoria had long expressed a strong wish to see this effort of the skill of the " pale faces "—a desire he was anxious to satisfy. The Indians passed into the shaft, and looked curiously over the balustrades of the winding stairs. They were five in number, with two squaws and a child. Upon reaching the level of the double archway, which forms a safe path across, but beneath the river, their expressions of surprise were strikingly characteristic—guttural ugh I ughs I attesting their satisfaction. They evidently regarded it as more wonderful than many of the more showy and glittering spectacles which their visit to the "old country" has offered for their admiration. With stately tread they marched through the arched avenue, the crowd pressing almost rudely upon them. When half way through they halted at a stall, where bright medallions, bearing the likeness of Mr. Brunel, were offered for sale, when the owner, Mr. Griffin, liberally gave each of these novel visitors specimens of the showy memorials. As the old chief of the party looked at the portrait of the engineer, the picture suggested the wide difference between man in the savage and in the civilised states. When the party reached the Surrey side, they proceeded a short way up the staircase, and one of the " braves" having received a duplicate medal, took it into his head to acknowledge the boisterous attention of the crowd below by throwing down in the midst the superfluous memento. A scramble ensued, which so much amused the whole party, that the first Indian's example was followed by all ; and Mr. Griffin coming forward with a copious supply of the shiny pieces of metal, a me. tallic shower ensued, which emulated the one told of in Danae's story. The humorous scene which then took place defies descrip tion. The scrambling among the dense crowd, some fifty or sixty of whom were seen in every variety of attitede, from the tiptoe of expectative position to the various phases of the tumble and somer. set, the shouting and hurraing, with some attempts at imitation of the cries of delight of the savages, formed altogether an animated tableau, in which it would be difficult to distinguish who were most delighted, the Indians, the crowd, or the more respectable portion of the spectators, including the ladies, several of whom (not the least pretty) pressed forward and shook hands very cordially with the red-skins. THE FREE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—A large pub ic meeting was held last night at the Wesleyan Chapel, Long lane, Southwark, for the purpose of receiving the deputation from the Free Church of Scotland, consisting of the Rev. Dr. Macke'. lar, late Moderator of the General Assembly, the Rev. Dr. Buchanan, and the Rev. A. K. Tweedie. Sir James Forrest, Bart., late Lord Provost of Edinburgh, was to have presided ; but owing to his sudden departure for Birmingham, where an im. portant meeting is to be held, Mr. Alexander Thompson occupied the chair. The Rev. Gentleman above-named addressed the meet. ing. The Rev. Dr. Mackellar observed that it had been said they had come to England as mendicants, and so they had, but not in the ordinary or offensive sense. Since June last they had erected 500 churches in Scotland, and some hundreds more were required. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, GREENWICH.—EDUCATION. —On Thursday evening, at the weekly meeting of the Board esarrdof Guardians, Mr. Powle brought forward a motion, " That best th edu o : lution of the 9d of August, ordering that twenty of the cated boys about twelve years of age, should be employed in the workshops, be rescinded, and that the regulations of the Poor.iaw during three requiring school instruction of the children, three of the working days, weekly, be adopted, or that some oth er equivalent arrangement be made in lists thereof . " Several of the guardians urged Mr. Powle to withdraw the motion. Mr. Powle said, it was a subject of such importance that he could not consent to do ro. All the guardians refused to support the moti on. Mr. Powle said, then, of course, the motion would drop for the present, but he certainly would bring the matter before a full Board. ANNOYANCE JURIES.—For the purpose of taking into consideration the means of bringing about an alteration4in the mode of carrying into effect the objects of the Act of Parlia ment relating to " weights and measures,'' a preliminary meeting was held on Wednesday night at the Windsor Castle Tavern, Long-acre, Mr. Marshall, grocer and tea-dealer, 20, Strand, in the chair. He said that during the 25 years he had been in business he had closely observed the prejudicial effects to trade produced by the system adapted of inspecting weights and measures under the Act of Parliament. He had experienced the inconvenience and &lay occasioned to his business by the manner in which the visits of this jury were conducted, and had been fined and held up to public obloquy for having one 41b. weight out of the many used by him in his daily trade, not more than one drachm short. Mr. Knight, the secretary, and several other persons, addressed the meeting, and urged the necessity of a speedy reformation in the system adopted by the above jury, and it was at length deter. mined on consulting their Members of Parliament on so important a subject. For this purpose a deputation of 18 gentlemen was then chosen ; and thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the Meeting adjourned, SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vttbitt etipinton.

The Augsburph Gazette states, from Constantinople, 21st ult., that the Earl of Aberdeen has sent a very strong note to the Divan on the subject of the recent religious prosecu tions, and has desired Sir Stratford Canning to demand a personal interview with the Sultan, if he should fail to obtain the desired guarantees from the Divan against further outrages.

The prisoner admitted that he signed the bank-book in the name of the complainant, the wife of the latter re questing him to do so ; but said that she received the money herself.

There is a rupture of the menenge rial artillery, with a considerable extravasation of blood be tween the skull and the membranes, to the extent of about 6 oz.

The Directors of the South Western Railway 4 4 v e had everything in readiness for the accommodatiPii of the royal party for some days past ; and as the C ourt i s now sojourning at Claremont, i t has been arranged to take th e rail at the Esher station, and proceed direct from thence to in ?Tallness t o cr t o h s e s B th l e ack so r e a n g t. le s is ev l e y r i a i l ig members of th e ae ßuckingliam Palace ye s t er d ay, and proceeded Household themldwwhere left by the two o'clock train to Esher, in order to be in attend ance on the Court during its sojourn at Claremont. The Queen's favourite ponies and phaeton were also conveyed by the same train to Esher for the use of her Majesty at Claremont, THE NEW ZEALAND COMPANY' —Yesterday a spe cial Court of Proprietors of the New Zealand Company was held at the Company's House, Br oad -street-buildings, for the purpose of taking into consideration the general state of the affairs of the Company, and for adopting such measures as might be deemed ex pedient. Joseph Soames, Esq., filled the chair. The Chairman regretted exeeedingly that the note which called the present meeting had been issued, because certain questions of immense consequence, between the Company and the Government, were still unsettled, and until the measure of protection were furnished by the Government, it would be impossible for the Company to lay before the shareholders and the public generally a statement of their affairs. He begged, however, from the want of communica tion with the Colonial Secretary, they would suspend passing any resolutions. Various events in New Zealand had occurred, by which the prospects and success of the country might be abated, but if sufficient protection were afforded by the British Government, little doubt could be entertained that it would become a flourishing , colony. A question was put by Mr. Currie to the Gover, - . 0 4 whether the emigrants from Scotland would be prote;;cod, as a great number of persons from that country had , determined to emigrate to New Zealand, and who had made great sacrifices to reach the colony ? the Chairman stated that it was impossible to answer the question, as there were so many persons from different parts of the country desirous of embarking fbr the colony but it was proposed to adjourn this meeting to the 29th, when he hoped to have received such information from the Colonial Secre. tory as would establish the interests of the Company beyond all doubt. The meeting adjourned to the 29th inst. FREE TRADE ' E NVELOPES.—WO have this week seen several specimens of an envelope for letters,designed to cir culate, without trouble, a constant remembrancer in favour of free trade, and especially ofunrestricted commerce in the prat necessary of life.
