IStVIL LONDON : MONDAY, MARCH 25, IL'39. The whole of the Paris Journals of Saturday have be en received. They confirm the accounts published in the Papers of Friday, relative to the breaking up of the n ew' Ministerial combination. Gleams of a new light have be en t h rown on the causes of the dissolution. The uourrier Franais states, that while the negotiations be i!ltwteeerneottlirseKlNG and S O U L T were pending-, a constant was kept up among the Ambassadors of Russia Austria, Prussia, and Holland ; and it began to be suspected from the midnight interviews of Count D'ArPoNT, the Austrian Ambassa dor, with the KING, that the positive leaning of TurEn.s and SOULT to England bad more to do with the delay in the formation of the Cabinet titan either the Bel gbian or Spanish policy of the new Administration. The r aria correspondent of a Morning Contemporary makes the following statement upon this head, to which we ar e Well dispos e d t o g i v e considerable cre dit ; will The portion of the British public who follow this affair to 4: k , what are the difficulties that present themselves 13 riti e, formation of a Ministry for France ? The , entire th e 84 Public are interested in the reply. The failure o t atteM pts to reconstruct the Cabinet were not owing o b o u : il d io i rl ffe t r ence respecting the Presidency of the Council,._ t he Presidency ar. of the Chamber of Deputies, by or to the Spanish question. The real bonaoul On u r s n e " of n the difference was the leaning of Marshal and a M. Thiers towards England, and of the King towards Russia. Th e King acquiesced in the article of the programme Which went to deprive him of the Presidency of the -! "ncil. In the contemplated change of conduct respect ing Spain, his Majesty made some difficulties, but would Ul timately have given way. The Presidency of the Cham ber of Deputies was not the King's concern (as he himself Sta ted). but that of the Chamber; nevertheless it was on that point he seized in order to upset the whole proceeding. His Majesty has either committed himself, or been so far committed by others with Russia, that he cannot retract, and M. Thiers and Marshal Soult are as decidedly friendly to England, and fully impressed with the necessity of main taining the British connexion. " This statement may be doubted or disbelieved, or sneered at—that is not my affair, but I repeat that it is correct. The authority on which I communicate it is un questionable. " It was reported on the Bourse to-day that the King would open the Chambers on the 26th instant, with the Mole Cabinet, and the funds rose it, consequence. The rumour now prevalent there (and I believe the truth) is, that Session will he opened by Commission ; the Commis sioners to be Count Montalivet, M. Bar,he, and General B ernard. There will, of course, be no speech. The King we ar e further informed, will choose his Ministry from that f f _ ar l) of the Chamber which shall succeed in electing one of - **,„., r uswib ers to the Presidency." b t , 4 , 1 _ 111 8 highly important statement is partially confirmed d' a ' e a substance of an article from the .2Vational of Sat ur thpy'gritten in answer to a paragraph which appeared in ,: i 4j ebnis of the day preceding.

MARCH 23.—The Senate, at the opening of its sitting, had a very romarkable speech a :de Bit)liev in favour of the accentance of the treaty. The words of the Hon. Senator received the approbation even of his adver saries, and will have a real influence on the debate. M. de Bousies raised an incidental question. He thought that the Government infringed the prerogatives of the Senate by submitting to its acceptance a project of law (that relative to modifications of the teriff of customs for the province of Luxemburg), which prejudged the treaty of peace. He moved that it should be withdrawn till the Senate had pronounced its opinion respecting the treaty of peace. The motion was got rid of by passing to the order of the day. The following Members spoke : For the treaty, Messrs. de Biolley, Baron Dubois, de Pelichy, \Vanteis de Bouchout. Against the treaty, Messrs. Vanderheyden, de \Vauthier, de Bousies. At the moment of our writing, M. Lefebvre- Mourit is exciting the merriment of the Senate by his numerous jokes and puns in support of his vote against the acceptance. Yesterday the King received M. Raikem, President of the Chamber of Representatives. His Majcstv transacted business with the Minister of the Interior and Foreign Affairs. A letter from Diest of the 21st gives an account of a ter rible duel en the morning of that day, at ten o'clock, be tween a Captain of Lancers and a Captain of Chasseurs. They fought with the sabre. They were both so deperately wounded, that there is little hope of saving them. We have, indeed, heard that one of them is dead.

Seyssel (A) 2OOO —2OOO ...2000 ...~00~ Mr. HoasmeN has given notice of a motion on the subject of Impressment; and preparatory to that is to move this evening, for a Return of the number of Officers, Men, and Tenders, employed in the Impress ment Service, in the years 1810, 1811, 1812, 1813, 1814 ; the stations at which they were employed ; the number of men impressed ; and the expense incurred at each station during those years. Also a Return of the number of deserters from the Royal Navy in each year from 1790 to 1839. We know not whether these returns will he granted, but if they are not, if they are withheld, on any pretext whatever, we shall conclude that the Admiralty officials are thoroughly sensible that those returns will convince the public that impressment is as cruel as it is unjust. If produced, they will probably convict the Members, of former Admiralty Boards, ei ther of the most gross ignorance ol' the effects of impress ment ; or, knowing them, of wilful perseverance in an abo mi-nable and disgraceful system of tyranny after they had been made aware that it was as injurious to the public service as it was revolting to the feelings of humanity. The object of Mr. HORSMAN'S motion we take to be the ascertaining the cost of impressment, the number of men it abstracted from the public defence, and the still greater number it caused to desert. With these ele ments, and the number of men impressed, the country will have some of the statistics of impressment laid before it, arid be enabled to form a judgment of its utility. During the war, we believe, there were some eight or ten stations at which press-grangs were regu larly maintained, and they must have employed on an average, we conjecture, more than a hundred men, or the crew of a sloop of war. There were, moreover, some four or six Tenders continually passing from port to port, carrying impressed men from one to another, the crews of which, including the Marines to keep the impressed men in safety, could not have amounted to less than 150 men more abstracted from the public defence, on account of impressment, or the complement of a 20-gun ship. In our estimation, however, this number is only a very small portion of the hands which impressment caused to be employed in looking after men whom it was thought expedient to treat as felons. The expense of cur gaols is a subject of bitter complaint to our country gentlemen, and can they suppose that the goals for keeping the bulk of the seamen, treated as criminals, and more numerous than the felons of the country, were not also very costly ? At every naval station, such as Portsmouth, Plymouth, the Nore, and at some mer chant ports, such as Liverpool, London, etc., ships were always lying called guard ships, or receiving ships, or Tenders, of which the principal use was to serve as goals for impressed men. Their lower deck ports were generally fitted up with strong iron gratings, through which, panting for fresh air and for liberty, the future gallant defenders of their coun try sat, eagerly, but almost hopelessly, watching for any means of escape. There in the stench of close pent up and congregated human beings, exposed to quasi pesti lence, the spirit of the impressed man was subdued by sickness ; he frequectly volunteered that he might es cape from the noisome dungeon; and was always glad to he sent into active service in a sea-going ship from the horrible prison of the guardship. Now the statistics of impressment will not be completed unless the number of men and officers always employed in those ships, and their cost, which, as floating, gaols are enormously extra. vagani, will be found no small sum, be also laid before the public. Moreover, in our opinion, the chief object in embarking a body of soldiers on board our ships always was too keep the impressed men in obedience. The Marines were the allies of the officers in suppressing_ mutiny. They were the instruments and auxiliaries of a flagrant system of tyranny. Whatever, therefore, may have been the number of Marines actually on shore during the war, and we believe it was about one-third of the whole corps, must be considered as men ab stracted from the defence of the country by impress ment ; and whatever might have been the expense of the whole corps of Marines, more than would have hired the services of a number of seamen, equal to the Marines, actually embarked, ought, in our judgment, to be chaeeed against the impressment, and the statis tics of this act of national injustice will not be ceotnpleted unless such a return be also laid before Parliament. Moreover, every body knows that the number of officers in the Navy is enormously and disproportion ately great, in comparison to the number of our ships ; but every body is not aware that a great portion of that useless surplus, and all their vast cost, is to he charged to impressment. To keep the impressed men in order, to look after them and contr A o l u is l d t i h ii e p m m , en a large numb er of' young gentlemen, as was taken on board each ship. After wasting their youth in the service, and becoming unfit to pursue any other business, they had a claim on the country, and were in due season promoted. and afterwards placed on the Half-pay list, never again to be employed. We know not how the surplus number of officers which has been caused by impressment could be ascertained, but without ascertaining it the statistics of impressment will not be complete. ,We recommend the subject, how ever, to Mr. HORSMAN'S notice, and it may be made to tell in a debate if it cannot be tabulated in a return. We would remind him and the public too, prepara tory to his discussion on impressment, which now, in consequence of the backwardness of men to enter the Navy, is a subject of painful interest, that there never has been any want of volunteers for officers in the Navy, or any great want of men for the Marine corps, who never are, like the seamen, subjected to im pressment. But as both those classes share all the danger and difficulties of a sea life with the com mon seaman, it is demonstrated that nothing has ever prevented the country from having as many volunteer seamen as it could pay and employ, but its short-sighted system of brutal injustice. Impressment stigmatizes the naval service as something horrible, and makes it universally shunned. We cordially wish Mr. HORS MAN, therefore, success in his efforts to throw light on its workings, and ultimately to abolish it. We published, on Thursday, an excellent letter, signed " Some Seamen," in which, amongst other mat ter, the tyranny of some officers is adverted to. Their tyranny grows from impressment. The officers do but carry out the principle adopted by the law, and are not unfrequently made tyrants by the necessity of subduing refractory or mutinous men. The free use of the cat is the necessary adjunct of the press-gang. If Mr. HORSEMAN wishes to harrow up the feelings of the public by scenes of cruelty, unmatchable except in the history of the " middle passage," he should move that the logs and journals of some of our crack ships should e u r number of returns" men, what proportion and the be laid before th e H ouse . H e s h ou ld ca ll , too, f or the weekly ain r,ia t during some period, punishments as , that he might as- publicmen n t e s e bore to t othe mtbewonder that our Navy was avoided like a pestilence, when it was proved that in some ships flogging was almost as frequent as the men's meals. The records of those disgraceful and even horrible scenes cannot per haps, be recovered, but without them the moral statis tics of impressment will never be completed. Let us, in one word, say that the last war with the United States was chiefly caused by our persisting in our right of search, to recover our seamen. Now, the cost and well-merited naval disgrace of that con test the consequences of impressment, seem to us its proper climax, and ought to induce the whole country to denounce it as one of the most mischievous acts of which any Government was ever guilty. The Tory Papers recommend that during the Easter holidays addresses and petitions should be got up in all parts of the country against the Irish policy of Mi nisters, to ensure their defeat if possible on the motion which Lord JOHN RUSSELL iS to make after Easter. It will be incumbent, therefore,' on the Liberal party, and particularly incumbent on the people of Ireland, who have known the benefits of Lord MULGP.AVE'S mild and impartial rule, to strengthen the hands of the tlrinisters by counter addresses and petitions. e have no wish to see them defeated on this question, for that would be the triumph of bigotry. It cannot be overlooked that the prime mover in the ;natter in the House of Peers was an Orange leader, ;Ind one of the chiefs of the bigoted party. The true ground on which the Minis try is to be assailed is its want of deference to the Church of Ireland. Had it been the zealous ally of M‘GHEE and Co. the Tories would have forgiven it all its sins, but its refusal to countenance and sup• port all the abuses of the Irish Church Establishment is an unpardonable offence. As it is to be assailed on the ground by all the bigots and all the patrons of the abuses that are perpetrated in the name of religion, all the friends of Church Reform ought to give it a cordial support. For our part we know notling which so much re quires now to be opposed and defeated as the Church party. Turn which way we will, we find, what the Times, when it was on the right side, called too much Church. The Church stands in the way of the Corn-laws being repealed. Sir JAMES GRAHAM actually described the intention to repeal them, while the Tithe Commutation Act was retaineA, as a piece of gross fraud. The Church prevents rational freedom and good Government in Ireland. For the sake of the Church municipal institutions have been denied it, and, for the sake of the Church, a full share of civil privileges and of the electoral franchise is studiously withheld from it. The Church prohibits the amuse ments, and so sours the disposition, of the people ; it impedes their business and their freedom, and con- I signs them to poverty and discontent. The Church, by its exorbitant claims, has excited animosity in almost every parish of the empire, and we can have little hope of either peace or freedom till the enormous claims of the Church be abated. A curious instance of the arrogance of the Church is to be found in a pamphlet, entitled " An Appeal to the Bishop Of WINCHESTER, Visitor of Trinity Col lege, Oxford, &c., by G. R. M. WARD, A.M." This gentleman makes an appeal to the Bishop against the decision of the Fellows relative to himself, and com plains that the Bishop giveS him no answer ; that the Church always judges without hearing evidence, and never condescends to (rive an account of its proceedings to its victims. D r . HAMPDEN, WC remember, com plained of such conduct in the Archbishop of CANTERBURY ; but Dr. HAMPDEN, according to Mr. WARD, is so infected with the principles of the Clergy, that he himself has acted in the same way. The fol lowing is Mr. WARD'S account of this curious matter : The Primate of all England and Metropolitan backs the bigots of Oxford in running down their Regius Pro fessor of Divinity, and his Grace himself denounces him, behind his back, in the House of Lords. How have I offended ? asks the much.wronged Professor. What are ihe specific charges against me, that I may answer them ? The Primate of all England and Metropolitan has become dumb as a fish. You have denounced me before the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford, writes Mr. Lancaster to this same Professor: What is my crime? " I have received the letter; that is all :" quoth, in his own turn, the Pro fessor. His fingers arc paralyzed on the instant, and fur ther answer makes lie none. • • • • • Mr. Lancaster preaches a sermon, and plies the verbera linyure lustify on the Regius Professor; for where, if not in a pulpit, is preacher to tell primitive truth, according to his lights, and shame the gainsayers ? Still, if he passes the bounds of propriety, there is an University Statute, such as it is, for his own correction. Dr. Hhmp den thought that he had so transgressed. and therefore picks up the Statute- Book, goes to our Vice. Chancellor, slims him chapter and section, and demands enforcement of the law, by the law's administrator. What should fol. low ? Here is a judge, an assumed offence, an accuser : the next step, of course, an ignoramus might have thought, would be to summon the defendant. By no means, in Oxford. Papists, Socinians, Nothingarians, Infidels, and other Dissenters, are abroad, seeking what Church delinquents they may devour; and besides, inqui sitors have an inbred aversion from noise and disturbance. So what does our Vice-Chancellor actual, but take unto himself four other spirits of the self-same kidney, the Vice- Chancellor elect, and two more Heads of Houses inclu sive, and cabals with them, and obtains their engagement, never again to appoint Mr. Lancaster to preach from . St. Mary's pulpit before the University Meanwhile Mr. Lancaster knows nothing either of Dr. Hampden's charge or his own condemnation. Five weeks pass, and every common room in the University, all the Masters of Arts in the place, and probably very many far afield, besides all the younger men who trouble themselves, in the lowest degree, with the doings of dons, are aware of the offence, and its punishment. One mortal only is all unadvised—the prejudged delinquent himself : dedecus ipse dornus sciet ultimus. When at last he does hear of his doom, he demands the particulars of his crime, and an accusation, and a hearing before the legitimate tribunal. From the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, to Mr. Bursar of Queen's College, not one of the five cabal less will accommodate him in either way. Dr. Hampden will not open his lips, nor handle the pen of a ready writer. Now, when such is the conduct of the most liberal Of the Churchmen, what is to be expected from the most bigotted ? In fact, the whole of the establish ment, from the head to the feet, from the Arch bishop of Canterbury to the college beadle, is one great system of rigid, monkish, inquisitorial subordination— a remnant of Popery, admirably adapted to a despotism, but totally foreign to the genius of a free country. This system of Church government is to be upheld by petitions and addresses against the Ministers ; and this system of Church government is that which the Liberal party are now called on to oppose, by supporting the Ministers against the attack of Lord RoDE and his friends. The Echo de L'Orient publishes a letter from Con stantinople of the 13th ult., which states that through the powerful mediation of the Court of Russia the Shah of Persia has been prevailed upon 'to grant a pardon and a pension of 40,000 florins to his two nephews, for some time resident in the Turkish capital, who bad joined in the conspiracy of the other Princes of the blood for his dethronement. In consideration of this pension they are to abstain from future treasonable practices, and, by their own desire, are to fix their resi dence at Teflis. That the mission of M. Franchini to Persia, had direct reference to this affair, was the gene ral impression at Constantinople. It is easy to perceive the deep design which Russia has in thus cheaply securing the devotion to her interests of two of the numerous claimants for the Sovereignty of Persia. Through their agency she can easily sow dissensions in the Shah's Councils ; and, should he prove untractable, she will be in a condition, by setting up another claimant for the Crown, to harass him with civil wars, and thus, either by fraud or violence, persevere in pushing her eastern frontier nearer and nearer to Teheran. No doubt the menac ing attitude assumed by England in the East, and the decided tone in which our Ambassador judged it proper to make known the views of this Government to the Shah, greatly influenced the resolutions of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. When the unfriendly disposition of the Shah towards England was first ascertained, there were public writers in this country who scrupled not to recommend the setting up of a competitor for the Musnud in the person of one of the Persian Princes who resided for some time in London. We then de nounced this Machiavelian policy as unworthy of Eng land, and, notwithstanding the advantages which Rus sia may expect to reap from it, we denounce it still as most detestable. To make the right of a Sovereign to the allegiance of his subjects contingent upon his ob servance of good faith towards foreign independent States, would he to introduce a most pernicious prin ciple into the law of nations. It may be urged that the claims of the competitors for the Crown of Persia are even stronger, according to the laws of regular suc cession, than those of the reigning Sovereign. To this we answer, that all that can be repeated upon this head was pleaded by the exiled Princes themselves before the Ministers of England and Russia, and yet their claims were disallowed, and the reigning Shah recognised as the rightful Sovereign of Persia by those Ministers and their respective Governments. If injury be done us we are powerful enough to right our selves without having recourse to the barbarous policy of seeking to kindle a civil war even in art enemy's country. The " true end of war," says GROTIUS, " is peace," but if this detestable policy were adopted, the real aim and object of war would be the disorgani zation of civil society. Every prospect of the formation of a Coalition Ca binet in France, including M. TIMERS as Minister of Foreign Affairs, appeared at an end on Friday. When every difficulty seemed removed, the KING, with the Ordinances for the appointment of the Ministry before him, and one of them signed and counter-signed, re sumed all at once his old position; defended his policy since his accession ; declared that there should be no change in the system pursued towards Spain by Count MOLE ; and that the Cabinet must pledge itself to oppose the election of M. ODILLoN BARROT to the Presidency of the Chamber. M. TRIERS replied to the KING by an instant resignation, which he repeated in a letter to his MAJESTY ; so that all expectations of his forming any part of the new Ministry were regarded on Friday as completely at an end. The example of TRIERS was followed by SAUZET, DUFAURE, PASSY, and DUPERRE; leaving only SOULT, HUMANN, and DUPIN, to form the nucleus of a new Ministry—a triumvirate, who could not command, by their personal influence, twenty votes in the Chamber. Our readers will have observed in our advertising columns, the establishment of the London and Westminster Mutual Life Assurance Society, under the patronage of the Marquis of WESTMIN STER, which seems to bid fair, both from the re spectability of its Direction and the utility of the objects it embraces, to take a prominent stand amongst the existing Societies. We have thought it right, as public journalists, frequently to notice Institutions of this kind, from a consciousness of the benefits which the public may derive from them, especially from those so framed as to place their advantages within the reach of the Working Classes, and there is no Society which does this to a greater extent than the London and Westminster. The principle of the Society, as appears from the Pro spectus before us, is mutual; by which mode the assured reciprocally assure each other, and all the profits are to be divided amongst those who adopt mutual assurance.

QUACKERY.—As a quack practitioner, on Lud gate-hill, was standing at his door, a regular bred physician passed, who had learning and abilities, but not the success in his practice which he deserved. " How comes it," says he to the quack, " that you, without education, skill, or the least knowledge of the science, are enabled to live in the style you do? You keep your town house and your country house, while I, allowed to possess some knowledge, have neither, and can scarcely pick up a subsistence." " Why, look ye," 'said the quack, " how many people do you think have passed us since you asked me the question ?" Why," answered the doctor, "perhaps a hundred." " And how many out of that hundred, think you, possess common sense ?" " Possibly, one," answered the doctor. " Then," said the quack, " that one comes to you ; and I take care to get the other ninety-nine." CHURCH RATES COMPRONfISED.—At a vestry meeting at Chelmsford, for the purpose of passing a Church-rate, the Dissenters opposed the motion, when the following accommodation of the question took place. Nine gentlemen were appointed a Committee to examine into the religious principles of the inhabitants of the parish, with power to make out a list of all those who are members of Dissenting congregations, and to excuse such from the payment of the Church-rate.--Chelmsford Chronicle. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 25, 1839. this mode of assurance ; it will grant Policies with out the assured undertaking any responsibility. The business of the Society embraces the newer features of Life-Assurance, namely, Deferred Annuities, to be enjoyed after arriving at a given age, the party becoming entitled thereto by convenient periodical payments ; other facilities, such as Loans, &c., are also included in the plan. Its engagements are . guaranteed by a temporary Capital, paying interest at the rate of 5/..per cent. per annum to the subscribers, who are entitled besides to a certain share of the profits; and this of itself would seem to present no unfa vourable opportunity for the employment of money. Looking at the whole of the plan, we think it only a matter of justice to say that the London and West minster Mutual Life Assurance Society, under pru dent management; which we have no doubt it will have, will prove not only a useful but also a pros perous undertaking. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Arrivals this morning, 2 French, 2 Ostend mails ; also mails from Lisbon and Gibraltar, by the Londonderry— sailed from Gibraltar March 14, Lisbon March 18, Vigo March 20.

Her Majesty the Queen Dowager ;lotted, on Wednesday last, her Majesty's ship Rodney, 92 guns, and was received with a Royal salute, fired from all the ships of the squa. dron. Captain Hyde Parker attended her Majesty to every part of that splendid ship. We are happy to announce that her Majesty's sojourn in Malta through a mild winter has been very beneficial to her health. Her Majesty's Steam R e.e Termcs, arrived here on the Ist from Alexandria, bringing despatches from India, and the mails with dates from Bombay to the 20th Jan., the de spatches were shipped for Marseilles to be conveyed to l'. gland.—On Friday last, the Duke of Buccleugh arrived Lt.; in his Yacht, he was accompanied by Lord Emlyn, Lady Deering, Sir William and Lady Geary, and Mr. Lid dell; the Duke is on the point of departure fbr Naples. Singapore Papers received to the 14th December. The Amelia, from Batavia, arrived yesterday, bringing us a Java Courant-of the 24th ult., but it contains no in telligence of interest. By the arrival yesterday of the Hero, from Siam, the Market for British import s cont i nue d favourable. Pro duce was scarce, and a number of Bombay and other ves sels in port waiting for the new Sugars, of which the coin ing crop was expected to be abundant, but it was thought the price would open high, as about 45,000 parcels would be required to load the vessels then at Bangkok. There have been several arrivals since our last from China, the latest being the Water Witch, which arrived here yesterday morning. Our latest Papers are of the 27th, and our private advices of the 29th. The particulars of the Market, which, however, remained with scarce any change, will be found in the Commercial report of the Canton Price Current. EUROPEAN GOODS. Beer, Wine, and Spirits.—A heavy stock in wood, which continues unsaleable, owing to the want of empty bottles. Marine and Oilman Stores.—Anchors and chain cables of small size saleable; large size seldom wanted. Sail Canvas.—Good English still wanted. Cotton Goods.—Plain, printed, and coloured, no im portations since our last, and the demand during the week has been rather dull. The description of plain goods mostly wanted are common qualities of cambrics, madda pollams, long cloths, and grey shirting, of which there are few in the market, while middling and fine qualities are in little request, and the market well supplied. Prints of all descriptions continue dull. Turkey red cloth in fair demand, but at low prices. Twist.—Grey mules improving, and stock much reduced. Woollens.—Camblets no demand. Bernbazetts.—Scarlet wanted. Gunpowder.—ln less request, but stock small. Penang Papers, received to the 11th November. There have been no arrivals during the week from any of the presidencies, although the Heroine has been for some time expected. The Lisbon mail brings accounts that the Minister of Finance has declared in the Cedes, that no less than thirteen months' pay are due to the troops in the second military district, as many to those in the third, seventeen months to those in the fourth, ten months to those in the fifth, sixteen months to those in the seventh, and fourteen months to those in the eighth, but there are not more than 4,000 men in these provinces. The troops in the Lisbon district have nothing due to them —they amount to above three thousand men. The Dublin Paper, received this morning, has an ar rival from New Brunswick Post-office. ARRIVAL FROM NEW BRUNSWICK. " We are favoured by a mercantile friend with a file of St. John's Journals to the 24th, being several days later than the accounts from those provinces received through the New York Journals. The St John's Courier, of the 2rd, contains long details of military movements and ar rangements, general orders, from the Lieut.-Governor, for the enrolment and marching of the militia. There is, in fact, every indication that Sir John Harvey was preparing himself for the alternative of actual hostili• ties. ARoyal Gazette Extraordinary published at Frede ricton on the 21st, contains an Act passed by the Legisla ture to amend the Militia Law, with respect to farming of the several companies of Artillery, and sea fencibles, with battalions, &c. The St John's Courier, in reference to the quarrel with Maine, says, that the commencement of hostilities must be dated from the moment the Americans - make an infringe. merit on the territory, which has always been under the controul and jurisdiction of Britain, and over which the United States have never exercised any authority. The 69th Regiment had embarked at Halifax for New Brunswick. The letters overland from India received this morning are not of a later date than previously received, via Mar seilles. The Lisbon mail does not bring any important news, with the exception that the Government ecffers wants re plenishing.

" We conclude that there is some plot or other, hidden under the affectation of wounded pride, which was exhi bited by Ministers on Friday I"—Morning Post of this Day. Go, sound an alarm through square and street, Bid the Church-bells toll, and the muffled drums beat ; Send heralds abroad, and tell each town-crier To shout, like a Stentor, " Thieves !" " Murder 1" and '' Fire !" " Thieves"—because the vile Whiggish tvights, Have a scheme to despoil us of all our rights; " Murder"—because they're determined to burke Whoever opposes their handy work ; And " Fire"—because 'tis their ardent desire ( The monsters 1) to set the Thames on fire ! 1 Yes, they've a Plot—a horrible Plot, To ruin us all, though we know it not; To hang the Tories by couples, slack ! On the Palace-yard lamp-posts, back to back ; To impale Joe Hume (this will make him stare) On the railings in front of Bryanstone-square; To hocus each Irish Priest so frisky, By mixing pure laudanum with his whiskey ; To seize on the Bishops by way of fun, And ancint them with " forty stripes save one," In case their Lordships, as often they've done, At a delicate crisis, should cut and run; And when they have done all the mischief they can, To give up, as the principal part of their plan, Old England, bound hand and foot, to Dan I Such is the Plot which, horrid to speak, Will be ripe for action on Easter week ; 'Twas fully revealed to my shuddering sense By a Whigling himself, in confidence; And the tidings have made me such fear evince, That I've been in hysterics ever since ! METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. The Times of this morning contains a leading article on the debate on the Army Estimates, which took place in the Commons on Friday night. This article is penned in a most querulous, hypochondriacal, and sets out in the fol lowing triste, manner :—" A man of the least foresight and observation has only to look round him, and then ask him self from what quarter of the habitable globe it is that em barrassments of the most perplexing character do not appear to thicken for the British Empire, and evils the most appalling to impend over its tranquillity, foreign and domestic." Our Contemporary then goes on to say; —" And in what capacity is England at this moment to support a war? The entire augmentation proposed by Lord Howick, now under the actual existence of hostilities in the East and West, will do no more, when completed, than bring up the British Army to the amount determined upon by the Duke of Wellington's Ministry as the peace establishment of the Empire for 1829, and which was the real force kept on foot during Lord Grey's Administra tion." The Morning Chronicle has an elaborate leading article, whose object is to point out the necessity of union among all classes of Reformers, so that they may struggle in good fellowship together, for the attainment of Household Suf frage, the Ballot, and Triennial Parliaments. " The fruits of the Reform Bill," observes our Contemporary, " have ceased to satisfy any large class, except those of Anti- Reformers. No party—no fraction of a party can take its stand on the finality of the Reform Bill, and reasonably ex pect either to exercise any influence over the people, or to achieve any good for the people." The Chronicle then goes on to say :—" The time is ripe for union. Batted hopes—insulted petitioners—almost insurgent multitudes— the feebleness of Government—the insolence of faction— impaired resources, threatening prospects, experiences, and warnings—all demand of us to be united and prevail ; or to take each petty section its own petty and separate course, and so betray a cause which we have not virtue to uphold." The Morning Post, alluding to Lord John Russell's speech in the Commons, on Friday night, remarks as fol lows :—" An impression hat gained ground since Satur day, that Ministers have at last become frightened at the situation to which they have brought the affairs of this country, and are now rather inclined than otherwise to abandon the affairs of Government, which they find alto gether beyond their p owers o f success f u l management. We think that the circumstances of the case give some ground for these speculations ; but we find it very difficult to believe that the present Ministers have any wish to re sign, or any intention of doing so, until they are actually driven from the situations they are so incompetent to fill." The Morning Advertiser remarks in the course of a loading article on Jewish disabilities :—" We understand that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has signified to some of the leading members of the Jewish persuasion, that it is his intention, during the present Session, again to bring forward his Bill for the Abolition of the Civil Disabilities of Jews. This is very honorable to the Right Hon. Gen- I em an. " The Morning Herald, speaking of the Navy Estimates, which come on again for discussion to-night in the Com mons, says :—" The state of the country is beyond prece dent alarming, No persoi can peruse the masterly state ments contained in the speech of Sir Henry Hardinge on Friday, without feeling that the military power of England is altogether inadequate to the purposes of national self defence. False notions of economy have led to this pe rilous state of things.!' NAVAL INTE LLIGE NC E. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) The Edinburgh and Cornwallis, of 74 guns each, ar rived at Havannah from Vera Cruz on the 26th January. The Stag frigate left Rio de Janeiro for Rio Plate, on the 15th of January; the Calliope, 28, and Wizard, 10, were at Rio Janeiro on the 22d of January. The Medea steamer and Charybdis brig of war were at Bermuda on the 17th of January. The Castor, 36, has quitted her station off the coast of Spain, in the neighbourhood of Barcelona, having been relieved by the Carysfort, 28, assisted by the Jaseur, 18.

Harvey to his command in the West Indies. Captain John Parker is to be his Flag Captain, and T. Triphook, Esq., his Secretary. It is understood that the Winchester is to be fitted for the flag of Sir Thomas Harvey. The Zebra, 18, Commander Stopford, sailed on Sunday for Lisbon and the Mediterranean ; as did also the Marquis of Hastings, with convicts, for Van Diemen's Land. Sir Graham Moore will relieve Lord A. Beauclerk, as Commander-in-Chief at Plymouth, on the Ist of May, with Captain Eden as Flag Captain, and Joseph Edye, Esq., now with Sir P. Durham, as his Secretary. The launch of the Royal Sovereign, of 110 guns, is postponed till the Ist of May; it is not certain that her Majesty will be present. The following men-of-war were lying at Malta on the 16th instant :—Princess Charlotte, Ceylon, Rodney. Asia, Vanguard, Bellerophon, Hastings, Talavera, Castor, Tal bot, Harlequin, Scorpion, Beacon surveying vessel, Magpie cutter, and Confiance steamer. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 21.—The Boreas, Dutch corvette, sailed last Saturday for the Texel ; and the Scylla, 16, Hon. Joseph Denman, arrived from Lisbon; she has since come into harbour to be paid off.

THEATRES. HER MAJESTY' STHEA TRE, The Opera on Saturday was better attended than on any of the preceding nights. Most of the seats in the pit were occupied at an early hour, and, though it was at no time crowded, the company increased in numbers, and, we are glad to say, in quality also, as the performance proceeded, Many an empty box might be counted in the first part of the evening, but their number had much diminished when the ballet commenced, though we did not observe that their contents exhibited any notable accession of fashion. Of the performances we have not much to say in addition to [our late remarks. Madonoiselle,Herminie Eisler is, we understand, expected at Brussels on the close of her engagement at her Majesty's Theatre. The unrivalled Taglioni left Warsaw on the 6th instant for Vienna, where she was to stay a month, and thence proceed by Paris to England. Towards the end of August the Sylphide is to return to St. Petersburgh. Though preparations had been made for her reception, the Queen did not honour the opera with her presence on Saturday. It was not be fore the ballet had commenced that all hopes ceased of beholding her Gracious Majesty. 0 DRU.RY-LANE. Mr. Van Amburgh took his benefit on Saturday evening, and, with it, his leave of a London audience. The house was crowded in e ver y part. Th e per f ormances of the evening commenced with Barnett's opera of Farinelli, in which Mr. Balfe sang with his usual animation, taste, and science, and with more melody and power than on most oc casions ; nor did his exertions fail to call forth frequent as well as enthusiastic and long -continued plaudits. After the opera was over the menagerie of wild animals was pre sented to the spectators. The repetition of these exploits far 113 nights continuously at Drury-Lane, and some time before at Astley's, has reduced the animals to a state of obedience that is quite marvellous.' Asa finale to an agree able evening nothing could have been more acceptable than the comic ballet of The Little Hunchback. The curtain fell amidst shouts of laughter, and the evening passed off altogether as pleasantly as possible, considering that the excited multitude had come to bid a favourite actor fare well. ADELPHI. This theatre closed for the season on Saturday evening. The performances consisted of the revival of the old piece Victorine, in which Mrs. Yates acquired a deservedly high reputation, the dramatic adaptation of the repulsive and vulgar exaggeration of Oliver Twist, the jumping of Jim Crow, the Monkeys, and various other exhibitions. In the course of the evening Mr. Yates came forward and pro nounced the valedictory address. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CROXTON PARK RACES, THURSDAY.

Table showing the ex-duty price of West India-Sugar in Mine. ng.lane, and comparing the same against that of foreign sugars : London, March 23, 1839. Per cwt. The last Gazette quotes the average price of British Plantation Muscovado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at ... 375. 100 The actual quantity sold frem the 12th to the 19th of March, on which the above price is computed, con. sisted of 9,652 cwts., or 690 hhds. Muscovado Sugars raised by free labour on foreign plan tations, may be bought this week at from 235. to 255. per cwt., being about 14s. per cwt. less than the ave rage price of West India Sugar. The reports in circulation that the last mail from Jamaica had brought accounts of an unfavourable character, both as regarded the political feeling of the colony, and the continued indolence of the negroes, induced buyers to come forward freely on Tuesday and Wednesday, and about 1,400 hhds. were disposed of at an advance, in some instances, of 2s. per cwt. This disposition to purchase Sugar on the Thursday experienced a check, from the tenour of certain documents published at the ' request of Mr. Sturge, (see " The Sun" of the 21st inst). The Papers deny entirely the ac curacy of the charges promulgated both here, and in Jamaica, by the West Indians against the industry of the black population—and moreover they lead to the conclusion that, although the crop of Sugar may be exported from Jamaica later this year than usual, yet, from the fertile and wholesome appearance of the plantations, and the steady industry of the blacks throughout the island, the crops will yield an average weight of sugar. Under these circumstances, the tran. sactions in Mincing-lane yesterday, and the day before, consisted principally of the resales of Sugars bought some time since of the importers. These second sales of Sugar indicate a re-action in prices—an expectation in which we participate—for little doubt exists that when the information communicated by Mr. Sturge shall have circulated throughout the country, a flatness will ensue, and holders of Sugar will experience difficulty imeffecting sales, un less at a considerable reduction from the present quotations. There are no sales to report of Refined Sugar for exportation. COFFEF..—The duty protecting West India Coffee against the competition of Foreign, is equivalent to 250 per cent. ad valorem.

THE LATE MURDEROUS OUTRAGE ON A WlFE.—Since our last, Sarah Whitaker, the unfortunate woman who was assailed by her husband with an axe, has gone on well, and has now a fair chance of recovery. Her wretched husband, who had been remanded until yesterday, was then brought up at the New Bailey. He was dressed in an old black coat and fustian trowsers, without neckcloth, and had a dirty appearance. Ile was pale, but appeared to be little if at all affected. Mr. Smith, the house-surgeon at the Infirmary, stated, that he considered the prisoner's wife to be still in considerable danger. The prisoner was then remanded till Wednesday next. He did not speak a single word.—Manchcster Guardian.

The troops in the Lisbon district have netteng due to them, and they amount to about 3,000 men. Tl;e 0 4 . puty Leonel Tavaus having moved that the Minister at War be desired to equalise the payment of the various co.' of the army with all possible expedition, that is to say, to let them all be paid up to the same day, the Minister of Finance, in the absence of his colleagues, declared the', such a thing could not be done, because, if the garrison of Lisbon did not continue to be punctually paid, 4' they would rise against the Government." The Pseputies Jose Estevao and M. A. Vasconcellos made serree cutting remarks, in consequence of the unguarded. txpressiam to which his Excellency gave utterance, sn touch so that the latter declared it to be his intention to resign on the next day. No sooner did this become known in our Meney Market than the prices of public securities experienced a fall of from 3to 4 percent., and no time was lost in getting ' up a petition of the merchants, most numerously, signed, praying her Majesty not to ac ce pt th e threatened resign,. tion, which being presented by a deputation of five gentle- men, was most graciously received, and a reply given to tiee i effect, " that her Majesty's opinions coincided with these of the petitioners respecting " a Government to which the country owes so much." Of course, this means that the Queen has approved of the manner in which her Ministet s have carried on the Administration of the country, at which the ultra- Septcmhrist party feel highly indignaet. The project of law for regulating the mode to be here after adopted in the levying the decium tax was submitted: to the sanction of the Cortes, and, having the full concur rence of the respectable Minister of Finance, was approved of. The ten reis per alquier of wheat, levied by the Cern Board on the exportation of that article, will be discontinued in conformity to a project of law submitted on Saturday, but I regret to say that another was presented to the erne- mittee named to report on th e su bj ect, recommending that ,t. the extra duties of 120 reis per arrobe of rice, 100 reis on cocoa, 200 reis on coffee, 200 reis on fish oils, 400 reis on balsam copaiba, 200 reis on salt fish, or 4s. per ccvt., 250 reis on white sugar, and 120 reis on bron n sugar, &c., which have been lately imposed, in virtue of the decree of 31st of October, should be continued for the present; aril I fear it will pass into a law, in which event the consump. tion of those articles will experience a still further dimses tion.—Morning Post. MANCHESTER and BIRMENGI;Ai EXTENSION RAILWAY. (From the Manchester Courier.) We last week briefly noticed the quibbliiir- and vexa tious opposition which has been so long carried on agqiest the Railway Bill, and, in another eolunin, vie have cited case which occurred on Tuesday. After a month's cot.- test about ti ifles, before the " Committee•on pe!iton." at an enormous expense, it is expected that the Bill will to reported to the Selcct Committee on Standing Orders previous to the recess, and that their decision will be given immediately after the Easter holidays. When we consider that the Railway, now claimed by the towns of Manchester and Stockport, and by other importiant commercial communities, is no new sch,m, that a sum of about 100,0001. has been deposited ia the Bank of England as a guarantee that its promoters are in earnest ; that the notices to landowners cud riecti piers, ariil the lodgments of plans and sections required by the /kw " Standing Orders," are such as to re::,•cr it almost impossible that any one having property on the line should be ignorant of the manner in whiith his interests may be affected; and that out of.nearly 400 nUri• compliances with the " orders" alleged by the ititereA: and would-be monopolist opponents of the measure,- they have only been able to establish b e tw een t hi rty and and those of a most unimportant character, we cann:,:: ;or a moment anticipate that a body of upright, sound-judging men of business, will allow the Bill to be rf.l2ctc l it on the very threshold of inquiry, but that ti will, at the same time that they adequately protect the inte rests of the landowner, permit the promoters of the measure fairly to state their case to a Conireittee on merits. As to those merits, we shall, on future ttecaslonG, be prepared to express our opinion; at present we will merely remark, that a rejection of the 13i:I, without 1U in quiry, will prove must unsatisfactory to a'l panics except the monopolists. For the last thr,:e years the quesi.i,.in involved in the present undertaking has been agit.►:eu, that question is, whether Manchester is entitled to and quickest communication, by ►ailway, with the r u polis; and, in our opinion, it ought now to b:' principle. However, we await the judgment of the "8; lect Committee" with perfect confidence. MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGIMII EXTENSION RAILWAY.— We are glad to hear that in the face of the extrtiordina rl and unfair oppcsition set up against the Extension Line, th,. cause of its projectors is progressing rapidly before the o, era .. mittee on Standing Orders, and that the Lill Will e the Select Committee immediately after Eager, fa order to show the sort of opposition with which tiee Exteestou people have to contend, we will just give Ar, outline of a case that occurred on Tuesday; By the Standing OlcL of the House of Commons, it is required that a copy of the plan, sections, and reference of a Railway, so far as re lates to each parish through which the line passes, shall be deposited with the parish eleik of each such parish on or be fore the Ist of April. Among the SSO allegations ag,:inst the promoters of the Extension Bill, were some to the that in several parishes the deposits had not been made. One of the allegations related to the parish of Stafford, and to substantiate it the parish clerk was called as a witness. fie stated, in the most positive 'tanner, that those documents re quired to'be deposited on or before the Ist of April, had not been delivered until May or June. His own receipt for them, dated the 31st of .March, and bearing his own signature, pri;duced; another receipt (for the deposit required, by the Lords' orders, to be mad e a t t h e en d of the year), only siLre was also produced; but in th e teet h of these documents, I ( Ze avowed positively that the April deposit was not made until the time above named. He was closely eross.examined, both by the committee and by Mr. Hayward, for the pro moters, but he stuck doggedly to his text. To rebut this barefaced testimony, whicu would never have been receiv4d by a properly constituted tribunal, in the face of the man's own handwriting (it being contrary to all rule to allow a man to stultify and falsify his own acts), the promoters call e d the person who made the deposit, who stated rnnst ee. tinctly that the:deposit was made on Saturda:— the of March, the day named in the receipt, and that though the form of receipt was drawn out by hie), he read it to the man before he signed it ; that he opened acid showed him the papers he was leaving with him, and that he paid him his fee, and he stated various circumstances to fix the day and hour beyond all possibility of doubt. Mr. Bell, a respectable surgeon, who accompaaied him, confirmed him strongly in all pavticulars. And Mr. Atkinson, an accountant, and Mr. —, anoti.r person of undoubted credit, stated facts , as to the subse quent deposits, which proved that the man could not pos. sibly have confounded one transaction with another, but that he must have been guilty in his statement either of the most flagrant wickedness, or of such stupidity as diqtr:! him for his office. Ile stated, for example, in res,raid to th r deposit of some standing orders (which, for recurity'i: sake, was made after the deposit strictly required), that the parts depositing had sent for him to an inn, whet, it (dearly tie peered that, though probably the man had been at . e:e;es tavern on the evening in question, the person had go;. ;f. him at his house, and (though the hour was an e l viy. in the evening) had called him out of bed. The Cretnnet tee at once decided against the objection, and i,, all the other cases of a similar nature,where the attertie dt , as in this case, would have been to set up men to nee;euve their nen handwriting, decided that they could 1101 her a..y further objections founded on such questionable testimony. MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals last week were tolerably good of all sorts of Eng lish grain, except wheat, which was amply compensated by a very large quantity of Foreign, and there was much bray:llk,, in the trade generally. The fresh supplies of most descriptions of corn were small, with little disposition on the p art of the buy ers to do business. English and F ore i gn wheat sold slowly at. a decline of from 2s to 3s per quarter; barley maintained its for mer value. Old beans met a dull trade at last quotations ; new were is per quarter lower. Pease and oats sold slowly at last price. Flour very dull at last quotation. PRICES ON BOARD OF gin?
