SECOND EDITION. N*bienius ~-itiv. LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 25, 1844. The most convincing proof of the effects of the anti-corn-law agitation is to be found in the part which the farmers themselves are now taking against the corn-laws. When tenant-farmers come forward, as at the last League meeting at Covent-garden Theatre, and denounce the corn-laws as the cause of great injustice to the farmer, bringing practical ex perience to bear upon this question, and supporting theory, by their own personal knowledge of facts, can there be any doubt of the progress of free trade opinions? Two "bond fide real live tenant-farmers," as Mr. COBDEN described them, detailing the injury vhich the corn-laws inflict, upon the very class, for whose especial benefit the landlords tell us, they are designed, and claiming relief from that very protection which the so-called " farmers' friends" will insist upon keeping around them. Save me from my friends, is now the feeling of the tenant-farmer, and this expression of that feeling, publicly and openly, at the great League meetings is but the com ;mencement of a long train of evidence to confirm the testimony of two as practical and as truth-telling farmers as England can produce. There is yet another class of men who are, as the tonopolists labour to make them believe, interested in the continuance of the corn-laws—the farm-la bourers. Some of that much benefited class will, ere long, ss e trust, be found to describe to the vatbile the great mercies and kindnesses for which they are indebted to the corn-laws. To show the external appearance as to clothes and habiliments which the protection afforded to their labour enables them to assume—to prove by actual fact the amount ,Pceived by them for their protected labour, and to es i:ibit the actual remuneration received in hard coin for ti: at labour—to tell of the comfortable furniture which is to be found in their habitations, and the abundant supply of nutritious food, which their wives and children share with them, and to explain how " a hold peasantry, their country's pride," are vfl lued, comforted, esteemed, and assisted, by the agricultural protectionist, who aims at pro. clueing' so much good for the farm-labourer, as well as The tenant-farmer. And if the farm labourer, should show decayed and worn-out garments, as his best clothes—eight shillings a-week as his earnings—should speak of his mud-walled cottage of two rooms, as the only abode for his family of many children, with scant supply of furni ture and bedding —and should state, that the taste of o .;inal food is almost unknown to himself or c hatlren—can there be any doubt that if this be his con dition now, with the corn-laws, he could not be much w orse, without them? The mercury i s d own point, now—it could not go lower, th en . to starvas'ion The tena T i t-farmer wants no corn-laws ; b u t h e does w ant ste.qdY markets, and good customers, for his produce, and those he can only find at home. 'The corn-laws spoil iris market, by making his cus tomers poor, and unable to give that price, and con stole that quantity of his produce, which unrestricted conunerce, flourishing trade, and profitable employ ment would afford. The farm-labourer wants no corn-laws ; but he does want a fair rate of wages, constant employment, cheap provisions and clothing. The corn-laws de press the rate-' of wages by the uncertainty they cause in the markets ; P prevent employment by c h ec ki ng :improved cultivation of the land ; raise the price of T x)visions, and thus curtail his ability to find means -of purchasing the necessaries of life. The Monopolists still continue to hold their pro eorn-law meetings, but they excite little or no public interest—they attract no crowds —they collect no vast public subscriptions—and they adduce no new „arguments that will hear the test of even an ordinary f e .xamination. Though we hear of them haranguing th, lir dependents and tenant-farmers, now in this c o n, nty, and now in that, yet few, even of their own orgaos, pay much attention to what they say ; and their vmost indignant bursts €f eloquence against their poweital adversaries may be said, without exaggera tion, to make as little impression on the public mind as if they were so many direct arguments in favour of the five points of the Charter. How idiferent is the case when the League hold their !meclings at Covent-garden Theatre ! Though these meetings occur once in every seven days yet so far are they from becoming stale and weari some by such frequent repetition, that the public in terest Atached to them grows more lively every week; and vast crowds are constantly turned away from the doors of the theatre wherein they are held, disap pointed in their hopes of obtaining admission.. While the Monopolists, with Dukes and Lords, and Heaven knows how many wealthy landowners in their train, can scarcely find an audience in the provinces—ex cept, indeed, among their own immediate dependents, who dare not, however they might desire it, absent themselves the League cannot find the means of accommodating the hundreds who desire to attend their meetings, notwithstanding that those meetings are held weekly for the express pur pose of giving as many as possible an opportunity of hearing the arguments in favour of a system of free, unrestricted trade. We have been led to these re marks by the circumstance of a county meeting having just taken place in Roxburghshire, at which, though the Monopolists appear to have mustered in larger force than is usual with them, yet, so far as we can learn, infinitely fewer people were present than have attended any one meeting of the League at Covent Garden since the commencement of the session. The tone held at this gathering of the Roxburgh Monopolists was a singularly tame and subdued one, clearly indicating that the party feel by no means secure of their position, notwithstanding the recent declaration of the Government in their behalf. To be sure, Sir JOHN PRINGLE congra tulated his hearers on the manner in which Ministers had lately spoken out on the corn-law question; but there was not the slightest earnestness or exultation in his language, nor did the meeting seem to evince— if we may judge from the reports—the slightest feel ing on the subject. Lord POLWARTH, who followed the worthy Baronet, observed, by way of explaining the reasons why so many Monopolist gather ings, have recently been got up—" it may be necessary to reflect upon the circum stances now affecting the agricultural interest throughout the country at large. It is not that there is the slightest want of confidence in the people to wards the Government at the head of affairs; but it is because there is a body who have united for dis seminating their own views—a body who are actuated by views which, if not purely selfish, are certainly dictated by ignorance, and arise from those who hold them not being aware of the extent of mischief they are inculcating. But it is not only that they wish to spread that view throughout the country,but it is because they have openly promulgated that you, the tenantry, have coincided with them in - opinion. It is for that reason so many meetings have lately been held." To say nothing of the sheer absurdity of his Lordship taunting the League with being ignorant of the nature and working of the corn-laws—just as if those were not most likely to be best acquainted with the extent and character of an evil who have been among the deepest sufferers by it !—with what justice and propriety can his Lordship deny the fact, that the strong practical arguments of the League have made, within the last year, numerous proselytes among the English tenantry ? Have not Messrs. Con- DEN and BRIGHT, in the course of their recent visits to the agricultural provinces, found some of their warmest admirers among the farmers ? Have they not made eager converts even in Duke-ridden Bucks ; and even in Dorsetshire, under the very nose of Mr. BANKES, found many of the tenantry reading their pamphlets and circulars with the most diligent and respectful attention ? These things admit of no doubt—they are matters of public notoriety ; and equally indis putable is it—whatever the Monopolists, for obvious reasons, may choose to allege to the contrary—that many of our most enlightened farmers are daily be coming more and more convinced of the injustice and impolicy of the corn-laws. As the eventful day approaches, on which the ques tion of renewing the Charter of the Bank of England, —the conditions upon which such renewal shall be granted,—and the preliminary steps to be adopted by Government,—are to be discussed in Parliament, the public expect, with reasonable curiosity, some manifesto of the Premier's views and intentions upon the subject. Committees of London bankers, of joint-stock, and country bankers have hitherto vainly endeavoured to elicit, by various deputations admitted to conferences with the First Lord of the Treasury, his real purpose. All, that they could get from him has been—a profusion of his cold but bland common-places; unmeaning official intimations "that the Government is not yet committed to any parti cular course; that it will reserve its judgment until it shall have had an opportunity of hearing all which can be urged, on all sides, for or against the renewal, on the present terms enjoyed by the Corporation in question." What the " inclination of his opinion" (to use one of the odd but not ineffective phrases of poor Lord CASTLEREAGH) may be, is not matter, it seems, to be trusted as yet to the profane world. " Manet alts mente repostum." A report has got abroad, and a Morning Contemporary has almost vouched its official authenticity, that the Premier intends to crown his gigantic labours, of five-and twenty years ago, in paralysing the commer cial energies of this country, and all the main principles of our social development and pros perity, by recommending to the Legislature the total "repeal" and withdrawal of 11. and 21. bank notes throughout Scotland, and the establishment of a single bank of issue. We can make great allow ances for Sir ROBERT'S indignation at the provoking contumacy of the Scotch, in having not only suc cessfully resisted the discipline of his PROCUSTES-• bed-like standard of 1819 —upon which he lopped off, without mercy, the redundant proportions of English monetary prosperity; but—in having steadily extended all the operations, sustained the enterprise, and re warded the laborious processes of their agricultural industry, by upholding the anathematised small notes, and thereby avoided the frightful panics and desola lation of the great commercial crises which have, on three or four subsequent occasions, filled London with mourning and desolation, and diffused insolvency and discontent to the remotest corners of the land. The idea of a single bank of issue for a country like this —of such intrinsic wealth, with so enormous a mass of invested capital, and the daily operations of whose domestic intercourse, home trade, and foreign com merce, are represented by so vast a floating circula tion such an idea seems fraught with in herent absurdity. It is not the less consistent on that account, however, as one of the regulating principles of any scheme of currency that may be projected by the artificer of that glittering cheat— the gold standard legislation of 1819. We re-pub lished, last week, a portion of an article in the Bankers' Circular of the 16th ultimo, containing a well-deserved eulogium on the merits and services of that fine example of a first-rate English merchant and an upright public man, the late Mr. JEREMIAH IIARMAN :—" He it was," says the writer of the ar ticle in question, " who composed and tendered that celebrated remonstrance against the impending mis chief with which the Act of 1819 was charged, and which drew forth the undignified sneers of Lords GRENVILLE and LIVERPOOL, and Mr. ITUSKlSSON— presumptuous men, who dealt with a case of which they were totally ignorant, in defiance and contempt of the remonstrances of those who practically knew all." This premature determination of the case by such judges, on incomplete and unqualified testi mony-, formed the subject (we well remember) of the honest and manly protest against the currency mea sure, then about to be debated, which the father of the Premier, the first Sir ROBERT PEEL, pronounced in the House of Commons, on presenting the petition of the merchants and bankers of London against it. In alluding to the evidence taken before the Currency Committee, the late Sir R. PEEL said (May 24, 1819) —" The men best qualified to judge of the matter had not been consulted Looking at the re port, he had found only witnesses who were not likely to give the Government any information. The most able had been left out, not consulted, and totally disregarded." The Bankers' Circular, therefore, might justly have added the present Sir ROBERT PEEL to his " presumptuous" trio of surely the most unfortunate " money brokers" and " money changers" (Heaven knows !) who ever dealt with the whole scheme of a country's currency. Our Premier, too, was one of the economic philosophers of Lord LIVERPOOL'S school, which session after session arraigned the bounty of PROVIDENCE itself, by charging on " re dundant production and excessive harvests," those con vulsive and fatal derangements of our domestic pros perity, which were solely attributable to their em pirical, crotchetty, and reckless passion for drugging the country with their own pestilent nostrum. The country, like a stout yeoman-patient, was neve: better than when the State quacks of the day com- THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 25, 1844 . pelled him to swallow their " gilded pills." He was never worse than when his "system" had become thoroughly imbued with the pestilent medicine which had been forced upon him. If a man will only consider the state of our trade and commerce in the year 1818 ; the abundance of money circulated in the United Kingdom ; the re munerating prices obtained without difficulty for all descriptions of our manufactures; the fair wages earned by industrial labour in all its departments ; the scope given to the enterprise of capital, and its prodi gious energy of reproduction under the encouraging influence of the times ;—if he will only bear in mind the absurd fallacy of the assumptions founded by the bullionists on adverse foreign exchanges (which seven years before, Mr. HORNER had demonstrated, in a paper in the Edinburgh Review, might be no minally reported at 17 per cent. against this coun try, and yet be practically 7 per cent. in our favour*); if he will compare the buoyancy of private credit and public confidence, the ready advances and rapid returns of capital, and the generally thriving condi tion of all classes in the kingdom at the same period, with the disastrous fear, the distrust, and displace ment which have affected the owners and the owner ship of money and property since 1819-20 ;—if he will do this, we say, any man of ordinary reflection must find it all but impossible to justify the conduct of those who in 1819 ventured to pull down the whole monetary fabric under which, or with which, or by means of which (the distinction is immaterial), our unexampled previous prosperity had been ob tained. To so gratuitous an abandonment of the certain elements of present safety and steady and progressive elevation in the scale of national great ness, for an ambitious, but untried, unproved, and delusive theory of speculative finance a vision of impracticable adjustment between gold at a fixed unalterable price, and paper of very fluctuating quantity, according to the fluctuating quantity of all commodities, the value of which it was to represent —we are at a loss to find a parallel. Nothing short of the unfortunate Mr. COCKING'S suicidal determination to cut the company of Mr. GREEN, whose balloon had so agreeably buoyed him up, and to sail away in a newly-invented, never tested apparatus in which he committed him self—deaf to the remonstrances of his friends and well-wishers—to his untimely fate, can be properly compared to the Premier's desperate expedient of 1819. But he has had, at least, a happier fate than the not less obstinate aeronaut. Will he tempt ship wreck again by propounding "a single bank of issue ?" A project for one imperial wine and liquor store, from whence, only, bottles, Treasury corked, may be drawn for the consumption of all Great Britain, in all time to come—one legislative oven, destined to supply ex clusive batches of loaves (or statutes) for the refection of all her MAJESTY'S subjects—one national vat, into which the great brewings of BARCLAY and PERKINS, TRUMAN and BUXTON, and WHITBREAD and Co., must be all absorbed in a sort of " Three per Cent. ' Stock' Entire" for the universal consumption of the people—all or any of those projects would not be more practicable, or less ridiculous, than this pro posal to have but one bank of issue for the United Kingdom. It may be, however, that the Premier, who, like some of the Pharisaical ministers of CROMWELL, is a great " waiter upon PROVIDENCE," has not yet given his sanction to the preposterous design imputed to him by our Contemporary. It may be that he lies by, intending to avail himself of the best means which accident may present to him for retracing some of his steps from the fatal point to which they tended in 1819, for retrieving his future reputation, we will say, as a Minister, from the damage to which the working of his favourite measure has ever since subjected it. In this hope we shall address ourselves, in our next, to the consideration of Mr. JOHN GLAD STONE'S Letter to the Times, entitled " Considerations connected with the renewal of the Charter of the Band of England." * See Edinburgh Review for 1811, case of Colonial Exchanges. Madrid papers of the 17th have been received, and as usual contain some fresh tales of horror. At Alicant on the 12th and 13th three civilians were shot; and Senor GARRIDO, Secretary to the Political Chief, on being identified, was to undergo the same fate, 'or remaining at Alicant during the insurrection. A Barcelona journal of the 17th announces that a new conspiracy had been discovered in that city, and that the persons suspected of being engaged in it were to be tried by a court-martial, then sitting in the citadel. A letter adds that four had been capitally convicted and shot. Two other executions had taken place at Zamora. The Heraldo, a Madrid paper, publishes the fol lowing atrocious order of the day, issued on the 4th at Denasal, by the Commandant-General of the QUEEN'S troops in the Maeztrasgo " Any individual that shall be seized and convicted on evidence, however slight, of having attempted to induce a soldier or inhabitant tojoin the factions shall be shot. Shall also be shot any soldier that shall be found communicating with persons hostile to the Government of the Queen (whom God save !), and that shall be known to wish to join the enemy. Before he suffers death, his offence shall undergo a summary inquiry of not more than two hours, and he shall be allowed but three hours to prepare to die as a Christian." The Three per Cents. were done at 331- for cash, and 34 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 22i for cash, and 23 3-16 at 60 days. Most of the Paris papers have leading articles on the defeat of the English Ministry in the House of Com mons on Monday ; and as they bring no news of the slightest importance, we can find room for a few extracts from them on this "untoward event." " If we are not mistaken," says the Journal des Debuts, " this is the first time since its accession to power, that the Ministry of Sir ROBERT PEEL has found itself in a minority. It is certainly not the first time that it has met with serious opposition ; for, last year, it was obliged to yield to public opinion, and with. draw one of its most important measures—that con cerning the education of children in manufactories; but this is the first serious check it has received in the Parliament, and which all the influence of its chief was inadequate to prevent. At the same time, the question on which it had this majority of nine against it, had no really political or ministerial character ; and the Opposition, setting, in this respect, a good example, had the good taste to declare that it did not seek to make it a party triumph. On this occasion, the House presented the singular spectacle of at least one-half of the Ministerial Members voting against the Ministry, while a considerable number of its habitual adversaries divided with it. Lord ASHLEY is a decided Tory, but on all questions where it principle of humanity is involved he is to be found strenuously contending against the Government. He has successively brought for ward motions against the opium -trade, against the occupation of Sinde, and against the labour of children in the coal-mines. In this vote, therefore, there was a perfect change in the usual po sition of parties. The agriculturists took pride in voting for a measure which would make great modi fications in manufacturing labour ; it was also a tri umph for the philanthropic party, so strong in England, from the influence it has out of Parliament. This party, as we have more than once observed, has often proved itself more powerful than the Govern ment, and has dictated laws to the legislative body. It was this party that carried the emancipation of the ne groes, and caused the conclusion of the treaties on the right of search, which it still upholds. The vote we are now speaking or is a new example of its great influence." The Ministerial paper regards the defeat as only temporary, and expresses a conviction that on a second division Sir JAMES GRAHAM will obtain a consider able majority. The result of the debate on Friday, however, will undeceive the writer, and show French men that in the cause of humanity Englishmen can forget political ties. The Presse, alluding to the ob servations of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, says " There is both anger and pride in this short address. Accustomed to see all their opinions adopted by an imposing majority, the English Ministry cannot yet believe in their being beaten. They look on the vote of the House as a 'ilia.. understanding through surprise, a momentary act of aberra tion, which it cannot fail to immediately retract. In con sequence, they ask it to reflect before a new trial is had recourse to. The question is now to ascertain if the H ouse will consent to condemn itself—to exhibit the spectacle of a shameful tergiversation, in order to save the self-love of the 1v o shall Ministry, k o n r o w w h t h e il t s h e i n r aitfewwilldapyesrs;ist buti,nwhitastefivrselt may resolution. oce ur the vote just given will remain one of the most important of session,thepresentpoint of wlvieitehw.er„ r egarded in a political or a manufacturing The following are the remarks of the Constitutionnel on the subject : "The struggle between agriculture and manufactures has been going on for forty years in England. The advantage has almost, in all cases, remained with property, or the Tury party. However, within a certain period the situation of manufactures has become such, that changes in the consti tution of landed property appear inevitable. The Anti- Corn-law League is a formidable instrument in the hands of the Whig party, and although an association equally powerful to defend the interests of the soil is opposed to. it, the former, nevertheless, seems to exercise an influ ence which appears to presage a certain triumph. The corn-laws form the difficulty of the question ; favourable to the possessors of the soil, they are one of the causes of high wages, and of the distress of the working classes. Agriculture has just attacked manufactures on their own ground. If on the one side, said they, a diminution in the price of corn is insisted on, on the other the factory workmen must be relieved, and in consequence Lord Ashley proposed, in the debate on the Factory Bill, an amendment to reduce to ten hours, for women and children, the period of daily labour in the manufactories. This amend ment was adopted by a majority of nine, notwithstanding the efforts of Sir R. Peel, who insisted on the general interests of manufactures in their connection with foreign commerce. Sir Robert Peel thought it is duty to oppose Lord Ashley's amendment. Three Whig Ministers, and more than sixty Members generally opposed to him, voted with him. With out this support, taken altogether from a source independent of politics, the rout of the Minister would have been com plete. What is remarkable in this vote is that politics were removed to the second line, and that the defenders of the in terests at stake laid aside all other objects of consideration." The papers of Saturday have since been received. The only intelligence they contain relates to the plans of the Government for constructing new lines of rail road. This grand scheme is the passion of the day. According to the Journal des Debats the Government have determined to take immediate and active steps towards the completion of no less than five great lines of railroad—from Paris to Lyons, from Paris to Bor deaux through Tours, from Paris to Strasburg, from Paris to Nantes, and from Paris to the frontiers of Belgium ; to a branch to Boulogne, and another ,to Calais. These great undertakings will amount, to gether, to nearly 1,500 English miles. The Funds had fallen a Tittle, but no reason was assigned. The Five per Cents. closed at 1221. 50c., and the Threes at 83f. 10c. The prices of Railroad Shares also declined. The Strasburg and Basle Rail road fell to 272+; Orleans Shares closed at 905 ; Rouen at 912+ ; Havre, 690; Avignon, 7734 THE BOURSE-SATURDAY, MARCH 23. First Highest Lowest Lgat Price. Price. Price.

After the night charges were disposed of by Mr. Alderman Thomas Wood, who sat for the Lord Mayor, the prisoner was brought in about half-past one o'clock, when the Lord Mayor came and took his seat. The prisoner, who is a much better looking female than her sister, Mrs. Dorey, was dressed in a check gown, a blue plaid cloak, and black mourning bonnet. She was accommodated with a seat. Mr. Cotton, the chair man of the Bank of England, and several of the Directors, were present during the inquiry. •. Mr. Freshfield, having stated the nature of the charge, said, that to-day his only object was to give such evidence as would justify his Lordship to remand her. The LORD MAYOR having inquired ;if she had any profes sional adviser, the prisoner replied in the negative. Evidence, was then adduced as to the prisoner going to Doctors'-commons and the Bank, and representing herself as Einma Slack. The prisoner was then remanded until Saturday, when she will be brought up with the other prisoners, for the purpose of being committed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) Win. Reynolds, a powerful fellow, was charged with an aggravated assault on Wm. Smith, a private in the 2d batta lion of Grenadier Guards. The complainant said that as he was a married man he had permission to live out of barracks, and he was, therefore, going in company with his wife, late on S a t ur d a y even i ng t o pur chase what he required in Portman-market. Prisoner and and several others were standing at the corner of Church street ; and, on passing, he applied the epithet of - soldier to him (complainant), and another of a similar character to his wife. He remonstrated on the vile nature of his language, when the prisoner " butter him down, and while on the ground he was struck by him and his companions. Two constables comi9g up, the prisoner w as t a k en i n t o cus t o dy. The wife gave similar evidence, and the prisoner having no defence to make, was fined 20s. UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Sophia Mills, a young woman, in the service of Captain H am ilton, of the East India Company's service, residing at Nunhead, was charged before Mr. Traill with being con cerned in a burglary and robbery at her master's house. The Captain stated that on Monday night his house was broken into, the thieves having effected an entrance by cutting two circular pieces of wood ou t o f th e b ac k d oor with a centre-bit. They then entered th e rooms d own s tai rs , from which they succeeded in taking a gold watch, a mu sical snuff-box, and about two hundred cigars. The rob bery was not discovered until the following morning, and the prisoner being suspected, she was questioned and prevaricated so much that her master considered it neces sary to give her into custody. In the course of the inquiries made respecting the prisoner, it was found that she had given a fictitious character in obtaining the situation, and that on the night of the robbery sh e l e ft t h e b ac k ki tc h en i w i n d ow unfastened h such a way that would have rendered it an easy task for thieves to get into the house. Other cir cumstances of suspicion being excited against the prisoner, she was remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) James Trigg, alias " the Paddingt on D ustman, " we ll k nown to the police for many years past, was charged with robbing a young man named Thomas Bain, living at No. 13, Tower street, Westminster-road, of 3101. in Bank of England notes, and twenty-seven sovereigns, under the following circum stances : On Saturday last, the prosecutor, having the money in question, which had been left to him by a relative, in his possession, went into a public-house in the neighbourhood of Seven-dials, and while drinking there, fell in company with the prisoner. They continued drinking together for several hours, and at length they adjourned to another public house. the George, in Great Chapel-street, Soho, where they had more drink, and eventually the prisoner became overpowered by the liquor he had swallowed, and fell asleep. On awak ing, he discovered that he was minus his notes and gold ; the former were in a tin case, which was also taken with them. lie immediately gave information to the police, who, from the prisoner being so well known, succeeded in tracing him out and taking him into custody, between ten and eleven o'clock on Saturday night, in Little Harcourt-street, Mary lebone. In the meantime the tin case, containing the whole of the stolen notes, was found, thrown down the area of the house of Mr. Richardson of No. 78, Newman-street, Oxford-street; it was picked up by one of the female servants who imme diately gave it to her master. It is supposed that the pri soner (who is a very illiterate man) being drunk at the time did not discover that the case contained Bank notes, but supposing them only to be papers threw them away to pre vent their being found on him. The prisoner was remanded for the attendance of some witnesses. Only a few shillings was found on the prisoner when ap prehended, but he had purchased several articles of wearing apparel which he had on. QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) Joseph Magee, a bricklayer, and George Stafford, a sawyer, two young men, M were charged before r. Bond, the form er with fighting and creating a disturbance at Knightsbridge, and the latter with throwing stones and mud at the police, and otherwise obstructing them in the execution of their duty. John Jones, 37 B, said that between twelve and one o'clock on Sunday morning, he saw Magee fighting with another man, not in custody, in the High-road, Knightsbridge, and surrounded by a mob of two hundred persons, a great number of whom were shouting and making considerable disturbance. He tried to take Magee into custody, but, on attempting td do so, several persons attacked him, and prevented him from doing so. He sprang his rattle, and obtained the assistance of four other constables, who as sisted him in taking Magee into custody, who tore the coat of one of the officers, and was exceedingly violent in his be haviour. On their progress to the station-house the mob attacked the police, who were compelled to draw their staves in self-defence. Two of the police had their hats cat through by the missiles th rown at t h em . Stafford, with othe r per sons, who escap e d, th rew stones an d mud at the constabl es . Other policem en , who were called to Jones's assistance, corroborated his st a t emen t . In reply to the charge, Magee said he saw a mob opposite the Marquis of Granby, Knightsbridge ; he ran into the road to see what was the matter, and had only been there a few minutes when the policeman came up and said that he was one of the men who had keen fighting, and took him into cus tody. Magee complained that the police tore the clothes off his back, and that lie lost six shillings. Mr. BOND said that complaints were frequently made to him by persons brought before him, that their clothes were torn by the police, but that was no reason why a milder punishment should be inflicted upon them. If persons, by their own misconduct, rendered it necessary that the police should interfere to prevent them from doing themselves or other persons injury —and their conduct was so violent as to compel the police to use force—they (the police) were not to blame, but rather the parties themselves, who were the sole cause of any injuries which they might receive whilst in their custody. Staftbrd said he was merely amus ing himself by throwing pieces of mud at th e po li ce. The pieces were so small that he was sure no injury could result from them. They were fined 30s. each, or in default of payment, twenty one days' imprisonment.

The grand deputation of the Chamber, and a num ber of military men, were assembled at that hour at the Hotel du Rhin, Place Vendome, the residence of the de ceased, and accompanied the procession to the church. Count Pajol, whose death we announced. on Saturday, was 72 years of age, and had been in the army for 53 years. He was aide-de-camp of Kleber at the battle of Altenkirchen, who conferred on him the rank of chef-d'escadron on the field of battle. He was promoted to the grade of Colonel by Massena, at the battle of Zurich. His commission of General was dated from Austerlitz, and that of General of Division from Moscow. In I 830 he was appointed Commander of the first military division, which post he held for twelve years. During his long ca reer he was frequently wounded, and had sixteen horses killed under him. At Leipsic, in particular, a bomb baying burst under his horse's belly, he fell and broke .his left arm. It was by a sort of miracle that he escaped being killed ; and Napoleon, who witnessed the occurrence, thinking it im possible that the General could survive, exclaimed, " I sus tain a great loss which I shall not easily repair ; if Pajol should recover now, he must be destined never to die !"

DIXSCELL.A.NEOUS. meeting At a meeting of Protestant Operative Association, held at Dublin on Thursday evening, the following resOlution was adopted on the motion of the Rev. Tresham Gregg:—" That the universal outcry now made fur the overthrow of the Irish Church, together with the melancholy accounts from England, are all attributable to the Duke of Wellington and Sir R. Peel, who, when in 1829 they broke in upon the Con stitution of 1688, promised peace and security to the Church, as they still do, while in fact, assault, apprehension, and danger, are the result." Mr. Wm. Smith O'Brien is to be the chairman of the grand dinner to be given to Mr. O'Connell at Cork, on Easter Monday. It is stated that an entertainment, upon a splendid scale, is to be given to Mr. O'Connell in Dublin, immediately after his arrival from Cork. Wednesday, the 10th of April, has been named.

ANOTHER SUICIDE ON BLACKFRIARS-.ERIDGE.- CULPABLE CONDI:CT.—This " bridge of sighs" was this morning the scene of another act of self-destruction, in the person of a young woman, who, a short time after twelve o'clock, was observed to run down the eastern steps of the south side of the bridge and precipitate herself into the river, An alarm was immediately given, and one of the watermen with praiseworthy intrepidity rushed in after her and suc ceeded in catching hold of her cloak; this, however, gave way, and she disappeared. The waterman was now obliged to come into shallow water to recover his breath. He had no sooner done this than she again rose, and he immediately darted after and succeeded in bringing her ashore. She was then evidently alive. With the assistance of police-constable Speakman, 326, and another waterman, the poor creature was conveyed to Mr. Rose, surgeon, corner of Stam ford- street and Blackfriars-road, and after ringing and knock ing several times at the door, the young man, who had gone to bed, made his appearance, but they were informed that Mr. Rose was not at home, and were referred to Mr. Meymott, surgeon, No. 56, Stamford-street, where on arriving, they were directed to convey her to St. Thomas's Hospital. Thither they were obliged to proceed, but on the surgeons of that institution examining hei, life was pronounced to be extinct. The conduct of some persons in this case is highly reprehensible, as the deceased was not more than five minutes in the water, but nearly three quarters of an hour had elapsed before she was attended by a medical man. The person and dress of the deceased is described as follow ing, viz. :-24 years of age, five feet high,' dark hair and complexion. Dress, half-mourning cotton gown, cloth cardinal cloak with velvet collar, black silk bonnet, black stockings and shoes. Nothing was found upon her person which would lead to her identification. _ _ THE MONKEY'S TRICK.—Lord Teynham's French cook so trained a monkey as to make him useful in plucking his poultry and winged game for the spit. The m onkey was one day following his occupation at the open window of the ! us e , df a 7 n i nt d , back kitchen, and had just plucked one of a brace of . par : tridges, when a hawk pounced upon it and carried it off. Poor Pug was in a sad fright, well knowing the licking that awaited hitn. Nil desperandum, however,. was his motto.

We understand that it is the opinion of his medical attendants that he will not long survive, and that the brain is wasting away. One remarkable fact is related respecting him, that he frequently stands for an hour gazing at the sun, however bright that luminary may be.—Kentish Observer.

MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday : sales 3,000 bales, at former prices.—The trans actions in Railway Stock were tolerably numerous, but with out any rise in prices. Chester and Holyhead were 7t074 ; Eastern Counties, 111 ; Great Western, Half, 70 ; South- Western, 82i ; Manchester and Birmingham, 474'; Paris and Orleans, 35 ; Norwich and Brandon, 7 ; South Eastern, 36 ; Ditto New, 364 to 36g. The information which we gave on Saturday with respect to the assents and dissents to the scheme of the reduction of the interest upon the Three-and-a-Half per Cents., was sub stantially correct, and the opinion in well-informed circles— official details being yet kept secret—is, that the amount that will be required for those holders who do not agree with the plan will be considerably under a million sterling. A Morning Contemporary gives the dissents at only . about 60,0001, but an important omission is made in not giving the amount of assents as respects the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. of 1818, the amount of stock involved in which is about ten millions sterling. We believe the amount assented to is not far short of eight millions sterling; and when the residents abroad who are holders shall have time to send their instruc tions, no question is entertained but that a large amount of the deficiency will be made up. The elan, taken altogether, has been successful beyond all calculation. The concession made by Government with regard to goods imported from Peru, which have been bonded in this country bat twelve months, the auctioneduty upon which is not to be exacted, has been the subject of some conversation among mercantile men to-day. The reciprocal principle unquestion ably has been carried out to a full extent upon this occasion ; and it is to be hoped, that as regards other countries nearer home, the same good feeling may soon be exhibited "among those nations who claim friendly relations with Great BOtain. The West India mail brings rather later advices from Bar badoes ; and, indeed, in Jamaica, matters appear to have slightly improved. Rain had fallen in the former island to some extent. The Funds are very well supported, and in fact Consols have not been done under 981 to / for Money, the Govern ment broker having purchased at the highest rates for the Commissioners; and 98/ to for Account.

' There his been a very quiet market for Spanish Bonds, but the tone of prices is good, as the letter addressed by the Finance Minister to the Committee of Spanish bondholders is construed by some as rather favourable. For our own _part, however, we _ think we perceive in it, an obscure remark respecting a new loan The Active Stock is 251 to 4, and the Deferred 15 ; the Three per Cents. are nominally about 354 to 34.

Of the sur vivors, Rogers is the senior, having been born in 1762 ; be is, consequently, in his eighty-second year. He first distin, guished himself in the yogi' 1786, by an " Ode to Stiper• stition ;" his " Pleasures of Memory" did not appear till 1792. Wordsworth was born in 1770, awl is-in his seventy-fourth PAT ; Campbell, whose .4Pleasuree of Hope" appeared in 1799 (born in 1777), is in his seventy seventh ; and Wore, in his sixty-fourth, having been born in 1780.
