We agree with the Times that the present session of Parliament is opening under most portentous circum stances both at home and abroad ; but we do not agree with that Journal in ascribing these circumstances wholly to the conduct of Ministers. They have undoubtedly been long enough in office to be deeply responsible both for what has been done, and what has been neglected ; but the very principles of the Government they have had to ad minister, framed and adapted to past generations, and the , THE SUN, LONDON, TUF I SDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1839. severe opposition they have encountered, relieve them from some of the responsibility of the present, we think, alarming condition of the country. We do not use the word alarm ing from agreeing with the Times in opinion that the im mense changes which that Journal acknowledges, as we acknowledge, to be impending over society, are themselves alarming ; but we use it from a conviction that those who administer the affairs of nations are over anxious to govern ; they persist accordingly in struggling to maintain principles and systems which time has made obsolete, and so they set Government and society at variance, and lay the foundation for a tremendous conflict. They look too littlo beyond their political parties—they confine their view too much to Parliament and its enactments, and do not study enough the progress of society, of which Par liaments and laws, and Kings,"are only feeble off-sets. At no period since history began has .society been stationary, and as the great majority of all the changes in past time have contributed to lead forward improvement—have brought about in truth that great change in which the na tion prides itself, calling it civilization, we aro not alarmed at the future changes which the Times shadows forth ; but we are alarmed lest the idleness or ambition of our rulers, lest the pride and avarice of our clergy should make them cling with too much tenacity to institutions of which the utility has come to rn end, and so involve so ciety in great calamity. More mischief has obviously been inflicted: on mankind in times past by too much and by mis-government, than by the wildest liberty, and we anticipate more in future from the same causes. For example the leading Tories and the bulk of the clergy are just now extremely anxious to get the educa tion of the whole people placed under the controul of the Church. Betwixt the Church, however, and the Press there is little or no sympathy. The real in structors of the people are. the Newspapers. There is no kind of knowledge which they do not convey to the people ; and the new pretension of the priesthood is but the germ of a new quarrel between the essential teachers of society and the desire of those who have ruled in times past to maintain their dominion. We are not astonished that they should endeavour to preserve their empire over the mind, but that the Times, which denounces with such vehemence the similar efforts of the very similar priesthood of the Catholic Church, should labour to pro mote their object, is for us surpassing strange. Are party Journalists like Monarchs, incapable of learning ? It seems so, or otherwise the Times, which justly condemns the Anti-Christian Church of Rome, and justly op poses the usurpations of its Priesthood, would never lend itself to promote the same usurpations of the priesthood of the Anglican Church, who differ from those of the Church of Rome, only as a daughter differs from a mother. She is younger, and has cast off some of the vices of her aged parent, but the resemblance is still se strong that only a practised eye can discover any difference between them. What the Times says of the Church of Rome, we apply to the Church of England ; and seeing that it is yet powerful, and yet bends all its power to arrest the progress of society, we do, like the Times, look at the present as likely to be a very eventful Session of Parliament. Nor are our apprehensions of what it will end in les sened by noticing that there is already some signs of disa greement in the camp of the Corn-law abolitionists. Mr. HUMS does not assume to act a part of his own without some motive, and that motive is obviously not sa tisfaction with the Delegates. He may probably fancy himself slighted, as he is an old Corn-law Abolitionist, and has, in fact, never refrained from attacking the Corn_ laws ; but at a time like this the manufacturers, who have given the impulse to the movement, whose property is at stake, should be allowed to direct it ; and it is the business of all those who can promote their good cause to put their own personal feelings out of con sideration, and aid the manufacturers with all the means in their power. Mr. HUME is, we hope, too good a patriot to allow any such feelings to influence his discretion, or abate his zeal in the public cause. The Paris Journals of Sunday devote their columns to the circulation of all sorts of rumours connected with the dissolution of the Chambers, to the exJusion of these every day occurrences, which, under ordinary circumstances, form the staple of their intelligence. Of the Opposition Journals, Republican and Royalist, there is not one that does not predict danger to the Government from the present Constitutional appeal of the KING to the general sense of the electoral body. This may, or may not be true ; but if it be really the case, that every sudden dissolution of the Chambe r threatens to plunge France into the anarchy of a new Revolution, the French people have yet to learn the ele ments of the proper working of a truly Representative Go vernment. The combination formed by thP Deputies of the Opposition to oppose by every means in their power bribery and corruption in the Electoral Colleges is most creditable to them ; and instead of threatening the sta bility of the Throne, is really a patriotic effort to consolidate it. The KING has most to fear from Lis own corrupt influence in the Chamber than from any triumph on the part of the Opposition, provided its Chiefs under stand the principles of the form of'Government which they are seeking to establish. The following brief extracts from the paners include al they contain in the way of sews of any kink— The elections of the present Members of the Chamber of Deputies, took place on the 4th of November, 1837. Thus, they have he d their seats for only one year, two months, and twenty.sercn days. The Ses. sion or 1838, was six months and twenty-seven days; that of 1E39, interrupted by the dissolution, has been one month and te❑ days. Whence it appears that the Chamber of 1837, has sat in all, only right months and thirteen dais. General Cannel arrived at Cambray on the 31st ultimo. He came to take the command of the 2d and 9th Regiments of Curasiers, compos. ing the brigade under his orders. The General's first caare was to visit the barracks to see these two fine regiments. It would be impossible to paint his astonishment at finding only a few horses belonging to the train of artillery. It is possible the two regiments on their part are astonished that their General does not join them. While General Cannet is aentlby the Ministers to Cambray, the 9th Regiment of Cuirassiers is at Me. zieres. General Desaix arrived at Lisle on the 29th. General Bcycand was expected here on the 30th. Three companies of the 3d Regiment of Engineers, in the War Eitablishment, were reviewed on the 23d at Metz; and hence they are to go to the Belgian frontier. On the 29th Of January, a battalion of the 50th Regiment of the Line left Metz for Maubeuge ; another battalion of the same regiment was to proeced, on Tuesday last, to the same destination. The Moniker publishes an Ordnance of the 31st January, containing a great number of nominations in the judicial order. At this moment, when the lateness of the hour obliges us to go to press, the English Journals have not arrived.—ConstitutionneL THE FUNDS.-CLOSING PRICES BILITIS FUNDS.

OPENING ta , AitlA I A. IL TT. HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. This day, at Two o'clock, her MAJESTY went in state to the House of Lords, to open the Session of Parliament; and on her arrival delivered the following most gficious Speech from the Throne : MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, I rejoice to meet you again in Parliament. I am parti cularly desirous of recurring to your advice and assistance at a period when many matters of great importance demand your serious and deliberate attention. I continue to receive from Foreign Powers gratifying as surances of their desire to maintain with me the most friendly relations. I have concluded with the Emperor of Austria a Treaty of Commerce, which, I trust, will extend and improve the intercourse between my subjects and those of the Emperor. I have also concluded a Treaty of the same kind with the Sultan, calculated to place the commercial relations be tween my dominions and the Turkish Empire upon a better and more secure footing. I have directed copies of those Treaties to be laid before you. I have been engaged, in concert with Austria, France, Prussia, and Russia, in negociations, with a view to a final settlement of the differences between Holland and Belgium. A definitive treaty of peace, founded upon anterior ar rangements, which have been acceded to by both parties, has, in consequence, been proposed to the Dutch and Belgium Governments. I have the satisfaction to in form you that the Dutch Government has already sig nified to the Conference its acceptance of: that treaty, and I tit that a similar announcement from the Belgian Government will put an end to that disquietude which the present unsettled state of these affairs has necessarily pro duced. The warranty of the five Allied Powers, affords satisfac tory security for the preservation of peace. I lament the continuance of the civil war in Spain, which engages my anxious and undiminished attention. Differences which have arisen have occasioned the retire ment of my Minister from the Court of Teheran. I indulge, however, the hope of learning that a satisfactory adjustment of these differences will allow of the re-establishment of my relations with Persia upon their forme:- footing of friendship. Events connected with the same differences have inditeed the Governor-General of India to take measures for protecting British interests in that quarter of the world, and to enter into engagements, the fulfilment of which may render military operations necessary. For this pur pose such preparations have been made as may be sufficient to resist aggression from any quarter, and to maintain the integrity of my Eastern dominions. The Reform and Amendment of the Municipal Corpora tions of Ireland are essential to the interest of that part of my dominions. It is also urgent that you should apply yourselves to the prosecution and completion of those measures which have been recommended by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of England, for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the Established Church, and of confirming its hold upon the affection and respect of my people. The better enforcement of the law, and the more speedy a dministration of justice, are of the first importance to the welfare of the community ; and I feel assured that you will he anxious to devote yourselves to the examination of the measures which will be submitted to you for the pur pose of attaining these beneficial results. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, I have directed the annual Estimates to be prepared and laid before you. Adhering to the principles of economy, which it is my desire to enforce in every department of the State, I feel it my duty to recommend that adequate provision be made for the exigencies of the public service. 1 fully rely on your loyalty and patriotism to maintain the efficiency of those Establishments which are essential to the strength and se curity of the country. My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, It is with great satisfaction that I am enabled to inform you that, throughout the whole of my West Indian Pos sessions, the period fixed by law for the final and complete Emancipation of the Negroes has been anticipated by Acts of the Colonial Legislatures ; and that the transition from the temporary system of Apprenticeship to entire freedom has taken place without any disturbance of public order and tranquillity. Any measures which may be necessary, in order to give full effect to this great and beneficial change, wi►l, I have no doubt, receive your careful at tention. I have to acquaint you with deep concern that the province of Lower Canada has again been dis turbed by insurrection, and that hostile incursions have been made into Upper Canada by certain lawless inhabitants of the United States of North America. These violations of the public peace have been promptly suppressed by the valour of my forces and the loyalty of my Canadian subjects. The President of the United States has called upon the citizens of the Union to abstain from proceedings so incompatible with the friendly relations which subsist between Great Britain and the United States. I have directed full information upon all these matters to be laid before you, and I recommend the present state of these provinces to your serious consideration. I rely upon you to support my firm determination to maintain the authority of my Crown, and I trust that your wisdom will adopt such measures as will secure to those parts of my empire the benefit of internal tranquillity, and the full ad vantages of their •wn great natural resources. I have observed with pain the persevering efforts which have been made, in some parts of the country, to excite my subjects to disobedience and resistance to the law, and to recommend dangerops and illegal practices. For the counteraction of all such designs, I depend upon the effi cacy of the law, which it will be my duty to enforce— upon the good sense and right disposition of my people— upon their attachment to the principles of justice, and their abhorrence of violence and disorder. I confidently commit all these great interests to your wisdom, and I implore Almighty God to assist and prosper your counsels. JANET, OR A GLANCE AT HUMAN NATURE. BY THR AUTHOR OP MISREPRRSENTATION.—This is one of the best novels that have lately appeared, taking Miss Austin as a model. We believe the writer to be a young lady, but who ever he or she be the :work is one of superior merit. There are abundant proofs that the writer is a close observer of man kind and manners, :habitually reflective, and a good natured satirist. The probable nature of the story and its numerous incidents, and the excellence, as well as force, of its lessons, render the production valuable as well as interesting.— Monthly Rev . iety. Yesterday a public meeting was held at Crosby Hall, Bishopsgate-street, in aid of the funds of the Sailors' Home and Destitute Sailors' Asylum, Rear-Admiral Oliver in the chair. INVERNESS.—The weather during the most part of last week was very mild, more resembling the latter end of Spring than Winter ; but oa Saturday evening it set is for keen frost, and on Sunday, Monday, and yesterday, there were frequent falls of snow. There is a considerable depth of snow between Inverness and Dalwhinnie, as also on the Aberdeen road ; but the mails have kept their regular time of arrival.—lnverness Courier. EXPENSE or PROSECUTING YOUNG PERSONS. .—Mr. Anderton has given notice to the Court of Common Council, " That it be referred to the Administering Justice Committee, to ascertain and report to that Court the number and ages of persons not exceeding 17 years of age committed to the gaol of Newgato in the year 1838, to be tried at the Central Criminal Court ; from what places committed ; with the nature and amount of their offences, the result of their trials, or bills ignored, the sentences passed upon them, and the amount of the costs and expenses allowed to the prosecu tors and witnesses." Some material alteration with respect to young offenders has been long loudly called for. On the 17th ult. a decree of the Inquisition was published at Rome, putting to the index twelve works, among which we observed M. de Lamartine's " Chute d'un Ange," M. A. de Vidaillan's " Vie de Gregoire V 11.," and Doctor D. F. Strauss's " Life of Jesus." WHAT IS PORTER ?—A brewer named Hare, residing in Old Kent-roast, was yesterday fined 2001. by, the Magistwes of Union-hall ) for having mixed. copperas, opit.m, and other poisonous ingredients, with his beer. By a singular coincidence, the beer in question had been expressly prepared for a beer shop-keeper named Death. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, Fin. 4. Wind S.S.

LivenrooL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY.— There was a fair demand for Cotton on Saturday from the trade, and 3,000 bags were sold. To-day there has been a good inquiry both from the trade and speculators ; 4,000 bags were sold at full prices. Of these, 500 were on speculation ; 700 bags of which were Brazil, and the remainder American. Private letters have been received from Canton of the 31st August, which state that the proposals of the two Hong mar. chants had been accepted. Accounts from La Guayra to the 27th Nov. state that the Minister of Finance had taken bills for 3,000/. on the Co lonial Bank, and 1,8001. on Messrs. Barings, to be remitted to England on account of the Venezuelan portion of the Co lombian dividends on the Foreign Debt, and it was reported that further remittances would be sent monthly. ( From the St. Vincent Royal Gazette of Nov. 9.) " We most respectfully, but at the same time most earnestly, call his Excellency's attention to the state of the Negro grounds throughout the island. We have it from unques tionable authority, and from all quarters, that the Negroes aro taking every thing out of their grounds, and putting nothing in, and that if this system is pursued much longer, there will be a famine in the land in the course of a few months. We differ essentially, it is true, with his Excel lency in most matters, but believing him to have the interest of the Island at heart, we hope that he will not disregard the call now made, merely because it proceeds from us." THE FUNDS. We have very few arrivals this morning, consequently there is a dearth of intelligence. The chief topic of conversation this morning is the Queen's Speech, to be delivered this after noon, to both Houses of Parliament. According to report, there will be no allusion in it in respect to Spain or the Corn laws ; it notices in particular, the final result of the Con ference, with the signature of the King of Holland to the Protocol, but mentions little in respect to Belgium. In a few hours the whole of this important document will be before the public, whom we leave t o make their own comments. The speculators, as well as the public, are anxiously waiting for its appearance. Consols opened this morning at the quotations they closed at yesterday-924 -; Money, 92 for the Account. No speculations of consequence have taken place as yet, nor will therk , :be any until the Queen's Speech is published.

BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.-" JACK SIIEP PA RD." —Mr. Bentley was fortunate in having so able a successor to " Boa" in supplying the leading article of his Miscellany as the author of " Itookwood." Few works of fiction have ever been opened with so much spirit as Mr. Ainsworth's " Jack Sheppard." The scene, the per. sonages, and the incidents to which the leader finds himself rapidly introduced in its first chapters, are each and all so singular, as at once to seize upon his whale attention and interest, and sustain them in high excitement. The picture of that olden den of iniquity, " the Mint," with its labyrinthine complexity of lane, alley, and cud de sac, tottering its unrespectable antiquity, with its " master" vagabond and his train, swindlers and bankrupts, and broken roues, its whole race of bailifr.hating habitants, with its rogues and robbers, its Lqueskins and Jonathan Wilds (who was accomplished in the art " to Kimbaw a cove"), is executes' with a vividness of co louring perfectly masterly. The whole of this scene might well form a pendant to Sir Walter Scott's picture of Duke Ilmnphrey's domain in the days of James the First. Nor are the incidents which are brought to pass in this goodly locality, and before such goodly company, less striking. Our readers have, however, all probably formed a due estimate of both one and the other in the course of the last month. In his continuation for this month we find that Mr. Ainsworth has risen into a still higher vein of description. One of his new chapters gives a night scene on the Thames during a storm, which fairly deserves to be characterised as awful. Such a hur ricane did in reality occur in the early part of last century, and was not deemed unworthy the recording pen of Defoe. A contest be tween two boats, life and death being at stake, which takes place during this riverine tempest, as well as an attempt to evade the then dangers of London-bridge, with its cataracts below and its piled houses above, are incidents strikingly in keeping with this whole effort of conception, so marked by extraordinary imaginativeness. But Mr. Ainsworth must not proceed through his task in this highly-excited style. He has now fairly launched his two young heroes, Thames Darrell and Jack Shep pard; and he must allow them to proceed on their voyage of adven tures with some calm and sunshine to alternate with periods of darkness and hurricane.—Morning Herald. REPRESENTATION OF CARLOW.—We are happy to inform the electors of North Derbyshire, and the public generally, that our late worthy and talented Representative, Mr. Gisborne, is so far recovered from ill health, as to be in duced to come forward as a candidate for the representation of Carlow. in room of Mr. Maule, promoted to the vacant seat on the Bench. Mr. Gisborne will offer himself as soon as the writ is granted, which, in all probability will be issued on the Ist day of the ensuing Session. The Liberals will have cause to rejoice that a champion like Mr. Gisborne is still spared to assist in fighting the battle of Reform and Good Government; and our sincere desire is, that he may long continue to be of service to the cause. He must, however, take care that the " sword does not wear through the sheath."—North Derby shire Chronicle. Last night, at about half-past ten o'clock, the greater portion of the fire brigade were called out to a most destruc tive fire which broke out on the factory of Mr. William East laud, manufacturer of patent waterproof and japann«i leither, situated in Great George-street, Bermondsey, adjoining the extensive rope-sround of Mr. Richardson. Tho loss is exten sive, and Mr. hastland is not insured. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Charles Wiltshire, a rather respectable looking young man, was in dicted for having feloniously appropriated two sums of 51. 145. and 21., the property of Mr. Rutherford, a medical gentleman, in whose service he lived, at Ratcliffe Highway. Mr. PRENDERGAST was for the prosecution ; Mr. CLARKSON defended- From the evidence it appeared that a person who had employed the prosecutor bad in February last year paid to the prisoner the suns of 5/. 14s. due to prosecutor. Another patient of the prosecutor's also proved that he had paid to prisoner the sum of 21., which was owing to Mr. Rutherford. The prosecutor deposed that, towards the close of 1838, he inquired of the prisoner if the accounts above mentioned had been paid, and the prisoner replied that they had not; and had neither given him the money, nor had disclosed that he had received it. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—I offered, in a letter to the pri soner's sister, to give up the prosecution if he would give me the money. Before the accounts in question, prisoner had acknowledged the receipt of 201. for me ; and he gave me a Portuguese Bond for 401, which has since been returned to its right owner. A Mr. Home, who had heard the prisoner tell prosecutor that he had not received the accounts in question, gave evidence to that effect. Cross-examined—l proposed on prisoner's suggestion that tile 401. bond should be retained by prosecutor to satisfy the 20/. which prisoner acknowledged to have received, and any other sums in which he might be deficient. By the RECORDER—Prosecutor then knew of none other than the two sums alluded to. The officer who took prisoner into custody stated that prisoner said he had received money belonging to the prosecutor, but with no intention to defraud. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. CLARKSON addressed the Jury for the defence, submitting that'l the receipt of the Portuguese Bond the prosecutor had in fact consented to view the question as a mere civil transaction, and had taken the bond as an indemnity for all deficiencies. The Recounen said he was bound to tell the Jury that if they be hewed the evidence this was a very plain and straightforward rase. The Jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty—at the same time strongly recommending the prisoner to mercy on account Of the conduct of the prosecutor. The Recommit said lie could see nothing in the conduct of the prose cu' or, but that which was charitable. And to show that the Court did not at all coincide in the insinuation conveyed by the Jury, the e% pences of the prosecution would be allowed in full, though (in conse quence of some delay that had occurred through the absence of some of the witnesses) at first the Court had intended to allow no expences fo r this day. The RECORDER then sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction, for twelve calendar months; at the same time observing that offences of this kind had lately be come very numerous, and had rather been encouraged by too lenien t sentences ; and the Court had been influenced in inflicting that which they were not quite sure was not a too merciful one—from a considerati on of those who were dependent on the prisoner (who has a wife and family)• MURDER IN CORNWALL (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONMINT.) TRURO, Fen. 2.—A horrible murder has been committed Pr el; be past week at a small village named Trevarth, in the parish of eivsennaP' near Redruth, on an old woman, aged 66, named Lovely Lean, the. Arts of Jesse Lean, a miner and small farmer. In consequene of this, 2 . 1 well as several attempts at highway robbery that have been made 5n the immediate district, the whole neighbourhood is now n a state of the greatest excitement and alarm. Old Lean is a hard-working, careful old man, and his wife Wa s ,,,, penurious woman, and acted as purser with respect to her husba l t; earnings. In the course of the many years that they have been nasa l ': the old people had, between them, contrived to amass a considerable sum; and it is supposed that the well-known circumstance of its bel in the house had excited the cupidity of some one intimately acquaing s ' with the premises. The old people, It is said, did not lire very happily, owing to the sting/ habits of the deceased, and on that ground the old man was taken in to custody the first day alter the circumstance became known, but event°, soon transpired that removed all suspicion from him. It appears t hat on Tuesday evening last, the old man, who had been attending . b ° cattle, went in doors and found his wife and a neighbour with her ta l l some tea. He sat down, but had not been there many minutes Wort he heard the back door of the kitchen opened, and he called o u t " Who's there ?" Some person replied in a low tone of voice, W thet he could not tell whether it was a man or a boy, " Can you lend lae ; horse to-morrow ?" and the old man answered, " I don't know; W m . ') are you ?" The person made no reply, and the old maw, in conseque n :; went into the kitchen, where he found the door open, but no 0 """ there. He went out into the farm-yard, and saw a man going bef ore; upon which Lean called to him, " Why did you not stop, and let me l ee your face ?" The person ran directly off, and he saw no more of hi"; The old man then returned in, and agreed with his wife to rr n _l l their money from the usual hiding place, after which they went to be; On the following morning Lean got up about half-past five o'clock, t . !: his breakfast, and went to work at the mine, leaving his wife in u ` - ii Between nine and ten o'clock a miner, named John Oxford, camel., informed him that his wife was very ill. The old man mu ch; ,imm te went home, and found his wife lying in the bed bleeding very o and he said to her, "My dear, what is the matter with thee ?" an d said, " I am very bad." The old man, in his evidence before tee Coroner, said that he asked her if she had any recollection how she ns A e f so ; and she said, " Yes ; I h ear d t h e b ac k d oor open an d cre ak, heard the breath of some person, and soon after that the chamber d opened, and I saw a man come in, who hid his face, and his back II towards me. As soon as he came in," sh e sa id , "I received a ra nr tt blow ; then he knocked me out of my senses. When I cane to Wl ° I was out upon the floor." The poor woman was lying in a bed close by the room door, opened towards the bed's head, so that the murderer must have bac lL er into the room, and struck her with a club a back-handed blow, a s b o o check-bone was smashed. Ile must then have used some sharp sce oo d instrument, as the lobe of her left ear was nearly cut off, and °° s ,es made across the face to the forehead. There were also several ~he, in the lower part of the face and neck, so that the wonder is that . ; o f was not killed instantaneously. As it was, she survived in a stab perfect sensibility during the whole of Wednesday, when she died. On Friday an inquest was held before T. Carlyon, Esq., and 37, pectuble jury, at the Fox and Hounds, Gwennap, but the inquiry v"'" adjourned till Tuesday next. THE CIVIL WAR.
