(01 bernintt LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1844. Irt the Rouse of Lords, the Marquis of CLAN RICARVE gave notice of a motion for Friday, on the present state of the poor-law in Ireland. The Marquis of _NORMANDY moved for certain papers relative to the Irish constabulary force. His object was to expose that revolting and odious system commonly called the spy system, and which, he feared, existed now to a greater extent in Ireland than it had done for many years. The Noble Mar quis adduced numerous instances in which the police .had acted the part of spies. He then entered at imi'me length into the case of Mr. GREY, who held a a sVuation in the police, and who had been dismissed, shorty after the accession of the present Govern ment, for no reason, that he could see, but for fol lowing the advice of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. BRIMSTER. Lord WfianxcurrE defended the official authori ties in Ireland, and said, if the Noble Marquis per se‘vered in his motion, the papers would be produced. Alter some remarks from the Marquis of CLAN.. nicA EDE , the Earl of WICKLOW, and the Earl of w or ealLsEA, the motion was agreed to. Thc, Earl of MINTO moved for a return of the services of her MAJESTY'S ship Queen, built on a and lately sent out t o M alta, which new print he contends h.d not had a fair trial. The Earl (.'f jEADDINoIaS opposed th e mot i on, on the ground that the object , .f the Noble Earl was to throw blame on th e _Admiralty, without adduci ng sufficient reasons. After some routine busines.i, the House adjourned being a dies non in the till Friday ; Wednesday Lords, and the following day the Ascension. the In t tlie Commons, a new w rit was moved for j Kilmarnock district of burghs , i n room of Mr. On, STONE, dec eased. Mr. C HRI "STIE postponed for a fortnight his motion relative to the .universities of Oxford and Cambridge. In answer to , ;a question from an Hon. Member, Sir It. REEL said it , was not likely that the Irish Regis tration Bill w Dula: come on before the Whitsuntide holidays. Mr. S. CEA\ WYORD moved for leave to bring in a Bill to extend t he Parliamentary suffrage, and to se cure the free r epresentation of the people. Dr. BOWEIN 'G seconded the motion, and, on a divi sion, it was rej acted by a majority of 66. Mr. WATSON 4 moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the orders for compensation made by the LORD CHANCELLOR to the persons filling the offices of clerks of enrolments, riding clerks, six clerks, and many other clerks in Chancery, under an Act passed last session. He pointed out the large sums received by these parties for doing nothing, amounting, annually, to 78,0001., and mostly paid by the unfortunate suitors in Chancery. He contended that fees of this kind should be paid by the public at large, and not by the suitors. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL admitted that many of the statements made by Mr. WATSON were correct, and would not uphold the system as perfect ; but still the LORD CHANCELLOR was not to blame. If any party were to blame, it was the Legislature who had passed the Bill ; but he was not aware that any party was to blame. The Bill had not passed through Parliament, sub silentio ; it had been discussed by Mr. WARD, Mr. C. BULLER, and also by Mr. HumE, who stated that it was correct in its principles and details. He could not see any benefit to be derived by the appointment of a Select Committee, and he must, therefore, oppose the motion. After some discussion, in which Sir J. GRAHAM took part, the House divided, when the motion was rejected by a majority of 16. Sir D. NORREYS moved the appointment of a Select Committee on the Poor Relief (Ireland) Acts, on which Sir J. GRAHAM moved that the order be discharged, which was agreed to by a majority of 32. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at One o'clock. However violent and unconstitutional the proceed ings of the COSTA CABRAL Ministry in Portugal have lately become, we cannot refrain from expressing our gratification at the evidences which we perceive of an ameliorated tone and feeling in the mass of the Por tuguese population. The domiciliary visits, the vexa tious arrests, the seizures of private papers, the vio lation of letters by the authorised but most abject agents of a most contemptible Government, the suppression of all liberty of the press, the arbitrary confiscations of property, the treacherous kidnapping of individuals obnoxious to the miserable faction in power, and especially of the pro prietors and editors of journals that have signaligod their opposition to the tyrannical follies of the Court ; these are, undoubtedly, deplorable excesses. They bespeak the establishment in the capital of the Por tuguese Monarchy of a system of terror and brute force that must presently bring on a reaction terrible to the very institutions for the security of which these excesses have been, professedly, resorted to. The stability of the throne which they have been perpetrated in order to strengthen, will be shaken by that reaction, to its very foundations. The attachment of the Portuguese people to that Sovereign in whose behalf they have been invoked and vindicated, will he weakened and even annihilated by them. Yet all these viola tions of the Constitutional Charter of the kingdom, these outrages on public opinion, these insults and njuries upon a devoted and sensitive people, have been resented hitherto with varying success, but with a sparing of human blood most honourable to the na tion at large. This abstinence bespeaks a great ad vance in social and civil virtue in a people who have been too lightly ranked among the most vindictive of Europe. They had innumerable wrongs to com plain of at the hands of those in authority over them, from the Regency of Dom MIGUEL, in 1828, his speedy violation of the Charter of Dom PEDRO (of 1826), and his subsequent acts of political treachery and personal baseness, to the abortive attempts of the Duke of TERCEIRA and the Marshal SALDANHA to restore the Charter in 1837, and all the more recent troubles which have agitated the kingdom down to this period. To pass over all the exciting events of the " War of Liberation," from the sailing of Dom PEnao's squadron from Belleisle in February, 1832, and the taking of Oporto, its triumphant defence against MIGUEL, and the capture of the Miguelite fleet by our gallant NAPIER, to the death of Dom PEDRO; we perceive in the history of these convul sions an honourable contrast of Portuguese abstinence and forbearance, even in the season of success and vic tory, to the unbridled abandonment of Spain, within the same interval of time, to the brutal intoxication of that remorseless vengeance and insatiable appetite of blood which have so disgraced her national annals at all times, but never more so than within the last twenty years. If we recur to the history of that interval in both countries, how immeasurably greater do we discern the political, moral, and social guilt of Spain to have been than the delinquencies of Portugal. In the latter, the suppression of the Constitution by the late Joao VI., in 1828, was followed by sanguinary dis turbances, no doubt; and the insurrection of the Mar quis of CnAvEs at Lisbon in 1826 ; and all the duplicity and violence of the Miguelite faction, which, both before and after the arrival of the British troops at Lisbon under General CLINTON, in 1826-27, convulsed the whole kingdom with factions and cabals, were not unpro ductive of sanguinary feuds. But the insurrection in favour of Donna MARIA, of August, 1831, in which 300 lives were sacrificed, and the tumults of Lisbon in 1834, in which, perhaps, as many more were massacred, are the only salient examples of popular movement determining in wholesale slaughter, which we can recal to mind, independent of the more frightful and extensive, but " legitimate" (if we must so far com promise the rights of humanity to conventional opinion) casualties of the civil war that ravaged Por tugal from the departure of the British troops in 1828, to the expatriation of Dom MIGUEL, by his em barkation at Evora for Genoa, in 1834. But let us turn to Spain, and we must be horror-struck at the long catalogue of crime and revolt, blood and treason, which dates from the dissolution of the Cortes under the faithless and execrable FERDINAND VII. in 1823. Then, the scaffolds began to reek with the blood of patriotic and devoted Spaniards, worthy of a nobler fate. Then perished RIEGO ; and then commenced that struggle for the succession of CARLOS, and the disinheritance and dispossession of the QUEEN, which resulted in one of the most bloody and perfidious struggles recorded in history ; a struggle which leagued father against son, brother against brother , - which violated the ties of kindred, the sacredness of hospitality, the sanctuaries of religion, the obligations of oaths, the pledges of private honour. That civil war was a calamity which Portugal had equally to encounter with Spain ; but in Portugal it was never disgraced by that studied and demonlike aggravation of its horrors which rendered Spain and Spaniards the reproach of civilisation and the disgrace of Chris tendom. On either side were ranged master fiends who offered up, on every possible occasion, whole hecatombs of human victims in cold-blooded, wanton sacrifice. Their's were the laurels, plucked like fire brands, from burning villages, and desecrated churches. Prisoners led out to be murdered by sections, or set apart and maintained for awhile, in revelry and en joyment, only to be murdered afterwards, with more impressive effect (like the Mexican victims of the old Aztec sacrificial priests), amused the moody ferocity of ZUMALACARREGUE. The yet more infamous and atrocious MINA, having information that a whole detachment of Carlists, who had escaped from the field wherein he had defeated their comrades, had taken refuge in a particular quar ter of a town to which he had pursued them, de manded of their relatives that they should surrender to him these unhappy refugees within a given time. This infamy being declined, he actually set fire to the quarter, and the poor fellows were consumed in those lofty and ancient houses, in the highest chambers of which, wounded and famishing as they were, they had vainly barricaded themselves. Their fate of being burned to death they had not antici pated. The cowardly butcheries of MAROTo, the bloody retaliations of CABRERA, have within these few months, aye weeks, been rivalled, by r NAR v m ak R E E Z a , R ODIL, and that contemp tible ruff ian D E who " managed" the last butchery exercised on the prisoners taken at Gerona. In short, in Madrid alone , more blood has been shed in the course o f one emeute, than has been poured out, in a whole campaign, in Portugal. I n the latter country, contending parties, after the ter mination of their conflicts, have sat down in peace and good-will, returning into the ranks and occupa tions of private life, or abandoning, with hat w __ g race they might, the honours and emoluments of public service, of which the successful side has deprived them. In Spain, the sole alternative in the most sacred or the most sordid struggle—under circumstances of the greatest or the least justification of the cause embarked in—appears to be, complete success or im molation ;—on the one hand a savage and sanguinary triumph; on the other, ignominious death. Contrast, in short, the infamous avowal comprised in the re port of DE MEER to the Spanish Ministar at War, announcing the execution of the Gerona prisoners of war, with the conduct of the Portuguese authori ties in allowing the insurgent officers and garrison of Almeida to retire into Spain (the one appears in The Sun of the 4th, the other in The Sun of the Bth instant); and the more manly and civilised bearing of the Portuguese, as comparel with that of the Spa niards, must be at once admitted, to the great honour of the former. Two cases were heard at the Middlesex Sessions yesterday, which exhibit the justice and humanity of the Guardians of the Hackney and Lambeth Union workhouses in no very enviable light. The first case was that of ALFRED MATHEW, who pleaded guilty to having stolen two pounds weight of pork ; and when called on for his defence, alleged that dis tress had driven him to the commission of the act, that he had not a bed to lie on, and that on applying to his parish of Hackney for relief, he had received a ticket admitting him to the stone-yard to break stones, together with some bread, and had been told that he was never to apply for further re lief. The prisoner added—and his statement was not disproved—that he had formerly been en gaged in an extensive way of business, and had maintained his wife and three children in comfort and respectability ; but latterly misfortune after misfor tune had fallen on him, and "in a fit of desperation, created by the fact that his wife and children had been deprived of anything to eat for more than a day and a half, he committed the theft of which he had been ac cused." A policeman who had visited the poor man's abode, said that " there was not anything left in the room, and the family slept on the bare jpards. The prisoner had been obliged to part not only with his bed, but with nearly the whole of his children's clothes as well as his own. In fact, they were all in a state of the greatest distress." The magistrate, after commenting, in just and forcible terms, on the want of " mercy and consideration" evinced by the Hackney Board of Guardians, sentenced the poor fellow to a week's imprisonment, with hard labour. The second case was that of Jo.s: rlnnnurru, an nirl man, duty_ nn years of age, who was found guilty of having stolen a putty-knife, of the value of one shilling, and or dered to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for one month. It appeared, from his own statement—which, as' in the preceding case, was not contradicted—that, being unable to obtain a livelihood, he had gone into the Lambeth workhouse, and, after being there some time, was told by the Board of Guardians, in common with several other paupers, that they had been there long enough, and must therefore go out and work. He had, upon this intimation—we quote his own words—" said that he was very willing to work for his living, but he thought that an old man like himself had not much chance of obtaining an engagement. He had in former days kept a house in Lambeth, and had paid rent and taxes until mis fortuneshad compelled him to give up his establishment. When he left the workhouse, he received one shilling to carry him on his way, and, after wandering over a considerable portion of Surrey and Middlesex, in the vain hope of obtaining employment as a house painter —during which journeyings he had frequently gone forty-eight hours without a morsel of bread to eat— he reached the neighbourhood of Hanwell, where some persons, taking compassion on his exhausted state, gave him somethiug to drink ; it was not much, but took an immediate effect on him, in consequence of long fasting, so that, when he arrived at the prosecutor's house, the cravings of hunger, coupled with what he had drunk, drove him to the commission of the theft." Now it will be observed that in both these cases, the prisoners were the victims of misfortunes, to which all classes, the highest as well as the lowest, are liable ; there was no proof that either had ever been guilty of rash ness, negligence, or 'extravagance ; they were simply unfortunate, and being so, no one can deny that they were legitimate subjects for the kindly consideration of the Boards of Guardians of their respective parishes. In fact, the new poor-law—if we are to place any reliance on the philan thropic asseverations of its originators—was ex pressly intended to meet such cases as those which we have just been detailing, and to deal with them in .a lenient, charitable, and forbearing spirit. It is a law whose avowed object is to protect and cherish the pauper, made so, not by his own fault, but the iron pressure of circumstances; while it repu diates the claims of the idle, the dissolute, and the extravagant. And how has this object been followed up in the two instances before us ? Has it been carried out in a proper spirit ? Far otherwise. It has been wholly lost sight of, and ALFRED MATHEW and Joux GOODWIN have both been treated 1 as if they were unworthy to receive workhouse pro tection, as if, in fact, they were no better than lazy, incorrigible scamps, whose legitimate• destination is the treadmill. Even the years and grey hairs of the latter produce no effect on the in exorable Board of Guardians ; he is turned out of the work-house with as little ceremony as if he were a dog; and the natural consequence is that, driven to desperation by his circumstances, he, as well as ALFRED MATHEW, have recourse to theft. We do not defend their act; but this we will say, that they are much more to be pitied than blamed; and that the prime offenders have been the Hackney and Lambeth Union authorities, whose brutal inhumanity drove the prisoners to that state of reckless despera tion which induced the commission of theft. A month's imprisonment with hard labour, or the disci pline of the treadmill for a week or two, would do a prodigious deal:of good to some of these heartless, upstart Boards of Guardians, by quickening their discretion and discrimination, if not their sense of humanity. The accounts from Spain, which are to the 7th inst., hold out little prospect of peace or security for Spain. The new Cabinet leave the public in ignorance as to their plans of governmetit, but these may be guessed from the feelers put forth by their organs. The Heraldo, for instance, says that the principle of the NARVAEZ Ministry is legality, while the only principle of action is military despotism. After this statement about " legality," it then pro ceeds to state what course the Cabinet probably will pursue, which is simply this —to call the Cortes to gether, to register the unconstitutional acts committed by the BRAVO Ministry, and also to sanction a system of organic laws such as NARYAEZ and his party may consider necessary. If the Cortes obey these modest commands, they are afterwards to be dispensed with, all their work ofla w making being accomplished. If they refuse, they will be abrogated at once, so that either way their fate is sealed. Of this there can be little or no doubt, judging from articles in the Ministerial papers, both French and Spanish, as well as from the line of policy pursued by the various Cabinets since the downfal of ESPARTERO. In the meantime the Funds continue to fall, there is no money in the treasury, and the country is bankrupt. On the 7th the Three per Cents. had fallen to 28i foreash, 291 at sixty days ; and the Fives at 20 9-16 for cash, and 211 at sixty days. Some of the Paris papers, for want, probably, of domestic subjects of more importance, have lately been discussing the affairs of their neighbours. The Journal des Debals has an article of four columns, on the recal of Lord ELLENBOROUGH, and the appoint ment of his successor, which is not without in terest, as it shows the view taken by foreigners of the management of affairs in the vast British Em pire in the East. The Globe, another Ministerial paper, has an article on the Spanish Ministry, of rather an ominous character. M. GUIZOT, of course knows what is the intended policy of the new Cabinet, and that journal, which is said to be almost exclusively under his influence, intimates, in rather plain language, that there has been such a rapid suc cession of new Cabinets, and affairs have succeeded so ill under a Constitutional Government, that her Allies, including France among the rest, may begin to think that such a system is totally inapplicable in Spain. Tfie history of the seven last Cabinets, which had all been formed within the last year, is curious. " At the moment," says that journal, " when a new Cabinet mayine thas assumed the direction of affairs in new Cabinet has assumed the direction of affairs in Spa dthuerivnVo one y s Ceaabri,nien that unhappytswhiehhave country. sucoeeded each TThey aree other, seven in number, without including the Provisional Government installed at Barcelona under the Presi dency of General SERRANO. The first was the RODIL Cabinet, which was overturned on the 9th of May, 1843, and replaced by that cf M. LOPEZ, which lasted only ten days. Next came the Cabinet of GOMEZ BUENA, which lasted sixty-fi"e days. This was suc ceeded by the reconstitution of the LOPEZ Cabinet, which lasted four months. The fifth Cabinet was that of M. OLOZAGA, which kited, like that of RODIL, only ten days, and was replaced by that of GONZALEZ BRAVO, which had fifty-foar days' existence. We have now the seventh Cabinet, viz., that of General NARYAEZ. How long will this last ? Let us hope that Spain will at length 2omprehend that, of all countries, she has the greatest need of stability. Changes of Ministry, when too frequent, usually lead to anarchy in public afairs, but in Spain they present another danger ; they may cause her allies to think that the constitutional principle, so vigorous with them, is totally inapplicable to the Spanish nation." The following is an extract from the article in the other Ministerial journal, on the appointment of Sir HENRY HARDINGE, and the character of his pre- decessor : " The new Governor-General is held in high considera tion by all parties. He has been well characterised as the most proper man for carrying into execution the plans of others, perfectly comprehending what he undertakes, and under taking nothing but what he comprehends. This choice also indicates the policy which the English Government wishes to be adopted in India. It indicates an attempt at re-action against the system of invasion and aggrandisement by which Lord Ellenborough, like all his predecessors, suf fered himself to be carried away. Sir Henry Hardinge is a perfect contrast to Lord Ellenborough. He is prudent, reserved, and wise, as most men are who have long been engaged in service. His military career was chiefly under the orders of the Duke of Wellington, who has been the least adventurous general of the age. He, therefore, will never commence a war without absolute necessity, nor, consequently, engage the Government of India, and with it the mother country, in useless enterprises. It must at the same time be allowed, that Lord Ellenborough had his good qualities as well as his defects. In England he has been frequently the subject of personal ridicule, but no one could deny his having great capacity. Smiles were often raised against certain peculiarities of his toilet. His head of hair, for example, is quite a Parliamentary notoriety. With all this, however, no one has denied him remarkable intelli gence and great aptitude for business. Once in the East, in a sphere to a certain degree independent, he found his arms at freedom, and gave the rein to those wild imagina tions which he was abliged to curb in the circumscribed £rol of +h. House of Lords 11. .hown minsor capricious, fantastical, prodigal, but has always been fortunate; and, if he has net on all occasions had justice on his side, he has met with success, which the English value as highly in the East, and sometimes in the West. His imagination has given him boldness, and his boldness has brought with it promptitude of action, and determined resolution. During his administration, ten pitched battles have been fought, and, in the two years, the Anglo-Indian empire, already so vast, has been enlarged by the addition of entire provinces. It was evidently this dan gerous political aggrandisement that alarmed the Company; and, in order to keep this within bounds, it has sent to Cal cutta a man of cooler temperament and less vivid imagina tion. But events may disappoint the calculations of men, and Sir H. Hardinge may be compelled to follow the current, as, in spite of themselves, all his predecessors have been." There are fresh rumours in some of these papers of serious disturbances in Calabria, as well as in Sicily, but from all accounts they are greatly ex aggerated. The French Funds continued firm.

(EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.) ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. We have received by the steamer Acadia, which left New York on the Ist, papers of the 30th of April, being thirteen days later than by the lastpacket. The Tariff Bill and the Annexation of Texas, formed the principal topics of discussion both at Washington and New York. In the Senate, on the 24th, remonstrances against annexing Texas and amending the tariff were presented and referred, with a protest from the Legislature of Rhode Island, against the right of either House of Congress to interfere in the domestic concerns of that State. The subjoined letter from a correspondent of the New York Sun, dated Washington, April 28, gives the latest intelligence from Congress:— The House adjourned yesterday without definite action on the Tariff Bill. Mr. Van Buren's letter on annexation has appeared, and has received the approbation of Southern men generally, while Mr. Clay's letter is denounced by Southern Whigs. Mr. Van Buren is in favour of annexing Texas, whenever the Mexican claim is extinguished or relinquished. So is everybody, and I am utterly astounded at the position assumed by Mr. Clay. The Virginia election returns give the State to the Demo crats by a fair majority. The Whigs have gained five and lost two members of the State Legislative Delegation. The union of the Whigs and their old friends, the Tyler men, ap pears to have given two Whig Congress men—Goggin and Carter—in Tyler districts. Goggin is no doubt returned in Gilmer's district and Carter in Wise's. It seems to be settled , says another paper, th a t th ere of Repre senta ti ves i n f avour of adjourning onthe May. If not hi ng i s to b e i s donea majority Nvithth e i t n ar the ift ; house tt7h of etre a p pears to be little remain- ing to be finished. The Post -office Bill, first in im portance, is to be passed — appropriations for the ex penses of Government, and several minor points, remain to be adjusted, and we can then see no reason why Con gress should not adjourn at an early day, unless indeed events growing out of annexation should require a longer session. Another fight has taken place in the House of Repre sentatives, which is thus described in the New York Sun DISGRACEFUL SCENE TARIFF, IN .THE HOUSE— &n. WASRDIGTON, APRIL 23. A most disgraceful scene took place on the floor of the House of Representatives to-day. It grew out of a discus sion on the Tariff Bill, in Committee of the whole, and was the only business done. Mr. Wright of Indiana had the floor first this morning, an d d efen d ed the Bill. Mr. White (Whig), of Kentucky, replied to him, and went on to denounce the charge that Henry Clay had sold him self to J. Q. Adams, &c. After Mr. White had consumed his hour, Mr. Kennedy, of Indiana, remarked that the charges were all true. Mr. White rejoined that he had refuted them as far as his time permitted. Mr. Rath bun (Dem.) of N. Y , said the charges were trae, and would be proved. White, being thus contradicted, made a pass at Rathbun, and both clinched. The younger members all rushed to the conflict, and separated the combatants. While this conflict was raging inside the bar, one William S. Moore, a cripple, who has been here for several weeks to obtain a claim from Government, attempted to intrude within the House, was prevented, and discharged a pistol at Mr. M'Causlin, of Ohio, a Member. The ball missed the mark of the would-be assassin, and wounded an officer of the Capitol. Moore was taken into custody. The whole affair was referred to a Committee of five for investigation, with instructions to report a Bill for the punishment of offences committed within the House. At the solicitation of friends, Mr. Rathbun and Mr. White shook hands, amid the ap plause of the House. Thus that affair ended. Moore was !stained in custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House. The officer is not mortally wounded. The ball entered the thigh. His name is John L. Whirt. The Senate referred the Annexation Treaty to the Foreign Committee, and then read the Western Harbour Bill twice. , A Bill for the reduction of postage had been read a third time in the Senate, by a large majority, and there was no doubt that it would become law. American stock had been considerably depressed by the proposed annexation of Texas, but at the departure of the mail a favourable turn had taken place. COMMERCIAL NEWS. NEW YORK, APRIL 29.

CORN-EXCHANGE--WEDNESDAY. We had only a moderate supply of English Wheat, while the demand was tolerably steady, at full prices. In Foreign Wheat more business was doing, and Monday's sates were supported. Although the imports of foreign Barley continue large, the barley trade was steady, at full prices. The Malt trade was inactive, at late rates. Oats, Beans, and Peas were the turn higher. English. Irish.. Foreign ARRIVALS. 1 4 7 5, , I o ea q t. r.. Barley. qr.. 2 4 , ? 2, a x t ) 5.

The intended reduction of the rate of interest at present allowed by the Savings Banks continues to excite consider able discussion, and there are not a few who view with anxiety any measure likely to prove in jurious to the steady progress of that principle of economy and industry, which has hitherto exercised so powerful an influence on the moral habits of our least wealthy population. The idea is, that even at some sacri fice, an effort should be made to keep up the present interest, wherever the circumstances of the depositors can be ascertained to be such only as fairly to entitle them to the benefits of these valuable institutions. Perhaps, it has been suggested, there might be some arrangement for allowing the full existing rate to those having funds to a certain amount, say 70/., the reduced interest commencing at that point, because parties possessed of such a sum are presumed to have better opportunities for investment in the funds, or for otherwise employing their capital. The hint has also been thrown out for combining a plan of loan societies with the savings banks, and under efficient regulations this seems a feasible measure, as the profit derived from such a source could be made available to the support of the present rate of interest paid to the depositors, besides affording assistance to honest borrowers, not always in the largest proportion of those who obtain pecuniary advances. To a certain extent, mere private loan associations, are unable to lend upon fair terms, acting as they do upon the principle of making the good pay for the bad. Thus a loss of 50/. to 100/. is made up by the man of some little substance and of integrity, who does intend to pay. With all their vigilance private loan associations have frequent losses, and probably the higher ones, combining the life assurance with the lending department, are more exposed to them than the minor and less scrupulous con cerns. The question then occurs as to what means the savings banks would have of guarding against similar losses, and of more correctly ascertaining the character and circumstances of their borrowers. We should answer simply that the bulk, and if necessary, the whole of their loans would be to depositors, and so far there would be some guarantee for the frugality of the parties borrowing and of those becoming sureties. This, with other checks would most likely open a wide sphere of usefulness to the savings banks. The letters per Arcadia steamer are expected this after noon. The Stock Market is not quite so good, and a few sales in Consols have caused the prices to recede from 998 4 to 994 8. The Commissioners have taken 30,0001. at 994.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) Owen 111 1 Carthy was charged with assaulting police-con stable 195 G under the following circumstances : It appeared from the evidence that on the previous night, at eight o'clock, the constable took a person into custody in Red Lion-court, Saffron-hill, for creating a disturbance there. An immense crowd of disorderly characters assembled 400 or 500 persons. The policeman sprung his rattle and seven other constables came to his assistance. The con stables were proceeding with their prisoner when the pri soner and seven other persons seizing 195 G by different parts of his dress, dragged him fifty yards along the street. At length he was with much difficulty rescued by his brother constables, and the prisoner removed to the Bagnigge Wells station-house. Mr. COMBS inquired what sort of character the prisoner was ? Inspector Barton replied that he was an idle dissolute fellow, who constantly associated with very low characters. The prisoner was sober at the time of the occurrence. Mr. COMBE asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge, and having nothing to urge in extenuation, was sen tenced to seven days' imprisonment in the House of Correc tion without the power of relieving himself by the payment of fine. SPORTTING INELLIGENCE. GORHAMBURY RACES.—YESTERDAY. On previous occasions we have described the number of courses into which that part of Gorhambury Park appro priated to racing is subdivided; there are no less than six, of different lengths, and, unless in a season like the present, when every course in the kingdom is as hard as granite, are well adapted to test the capabilities of horses of every grade. Tht scenery, the picturesque style of "fitting up" the course, the facility with which by railway to Watford, and thence through a pretty country, the journey from the metropolis to the Park, may be performed in a couple of hours, and the de • termination of the noble owner of the property to give every possible effect to the new regulations with regard to de faulters for stakes and bets, have been the subject of well merited praise in former notices; we have therefore now only to observe that in the sport yesterday afternoon, the fashion of the company, and the courteous attentions of the stewards and their officers to their respective duties—everything was in keeping with the established character of the meeting. To conclude without a list of the principal visitors would be to neglect one of the most onerous of our duties. We must, therefore, in the first place give the names of the party at Gorhambury ; it consisted of the Duke of Rut land, Marquis of Exeter, Earl and Countess of Clarendon, Earl and Countess of Albemarle, Earl and Countess of Sefton, Earl and Countess of Craven, Lord and Lady Folkestone, Earl of Stradbroke, Lord Maidstone, Mr. S. Stanley, Mr. C. Greville, Mr. Gregory, Mr. F. Craven, &c. There were also present—Marquis of Worcester, the Earls of Chesterfield and. March ; Lords Macdonald, Glamis, A. Fitzclarence, W. Pow lett, E. Russell, Villiers, C. Manners ; Count Bathyany ; Sirs D. Baird, C. Cockerell, F. Goodricke, and W. Wynn ; Ho nourables R. Grimston, E. Grimston, G. Fitzroy, G. Anson, Stanley, Paulett ; Colonel Bouvene ; Messrs. Archdall, H. Blair, J. Stanley, Delme Radcliffe, Neville, Newton, S. Shelley, Portman, Higgins, Worrall, Bastard, Booth, Caven dish, Phillimore, Brand, Gardner, Payne, Batson, Jacques , Irwin, &c. The races commenced about half-past one, with The Craven Stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 20 added; 3 yrs, 6st 121 b ; 4 yrs, Bst 71b ; 5 yrs, 9st ; 6 yrs, and aged, 9st 21b. Cherry-tree Mile. (4 Subs.)

Physalis made running at a good pace, attended by Gaiety, the others laid up to their quarters ; they ran in this way to within half a distance of the chair, when Gaiety fell back, and Nat joining Physalis, got to her head a few strides from the chair, and won by half a neck. Hyr canian a respectable third. Produce Match, 50, one mile, 2 yrs old, Bst 51b each.—Mr. T. Theobald's Chemise, by Slane (F. Butler), beat Mr. S. Smith's St. Michael, by Calmuck. Chemise made her own running, and won by five lengths. The Gorhambury Handicap of 25 sovs. each, 15 ft., and 5 only if declared, with 50 added ; the second to save his stake. Stand Course. (51 Subs., 32 declared.) Lord G. Bentinck's the Devil-to-Pay, 3 yrs, sst., (Abdale) 1 Duke of Grafton's Cataract, 4 vrs, 7st 61b Lord Verulam's Robert de Goiham, 5 yrs, Bst 121 b The following also started, but were not placed :—Duke of Rutland's Hyrcanian, 4 yrs, 7st 101b—Lord Chesterfield's The Artful Dodger, 5 yrs, 7st 61b—Lord Caledon's Auld Lang syne, 4 yrs, 7st 41b—Captain Martyn's Emilian, 5 yrs, 7st 31b, Lord Warwick's Yardley, 4 yrs, 7st 21b—Mr. Prescott's Bosphorus, aged, 7st—Mr. Watson's Antidote, 4 yrs, Est 121 b --W. T. Walters's Emilie, 4 yrs, Est 71b. 6to 5 agst Devil to-Pay ; sto 1 agst Cataract ; 6to 1 agst Antidote ; 6to 1 Amehan ; 7 to 1 agst Yardley; 7 to 1 agst Robert de Gorham. The Devil made play at a good pace, followed by the Artful Dodger, Emilian third, and Robert de Gorham fourth, the lot running clear of the nick. This order was main tained with scarcely any change to the last turn, where Emilian passed the Artful Dodger, ran with the Devil-to-Pay to the T.Y.C. post, and was beaten. Robert de Gorham then took his ground at the Devil's quarters, Yardley following them, with Cataract at their heels; this formation continued within two distances of the chair, until the final change took place. Robert de Gorham was beaten, and Cataract became the Devil's next and last competitor. The run home was se close that it was not until Abdale called upon his horse, that he defeated his opponent, winning, not easily, by half a length. Robert de Gorham was a length behind Cataract, Hyrcanian fourth (a bad one), and the others so completely tailed off, that it would be idle to specify the order in which they passed the chair. The pace was good. This is the third great han dicap that the Goodwood three years old have won this year. The Pile Stakes of 20 son. each, h ft, with 20 added; for three yrs old ; colts Bst 71b, and fillies Bst 41b. Cherry tree mile, &c. (7 Subs.)

The first news that greeted us on reaching the course was that a letter had been received in the morning by Messrs. Weatherby, from Mr. Irwin, dated Dublin, declaring that Foig-a-ballagh would not start for the Derby. Mr. Irwin, who was on the course, informed us that this declaration was posted on Sunday from Ireland, and that he made it imme diately on receipt of a communication from Mr. Forth, that the horse was amiss. It is rather singular that the fact of an animal trained in Sussex being amiss should have been first made public by letter from Dublin, and that, after being almost a dead letter in the betting, he should have been backed at Tattersall's on Monday at 35 and 40 to 1.
