THIRD EDITION OF « THE SUN." —..dip....--- Irs have received many complaintsfrom Subscribers who are frequently disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en tirely With the Jews-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injueice to his customer. This injustice is still further aggravated by an extra charge of a haypenny (the Post e filee fee) being made for nor supp!ying the latest or Third Edition. This Edition contains.the Latest :Yews: Parliamentary Debates up to a QUarter to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together with the " Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Wicks Prices of Shares in Railthays, dc.—The Betting at Tattersall's on Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds -77w Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the close—and all other news arriving in London al :sr three o'clock in the afternoon, when the Second or Evening Edition goes to press. In distant parts of the country, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE HOURS 4 , ADVANCE, a limper of importance to those who want early intelligence. In those places where the evening rived arrires in the middle of the night, the " MORNING SUN," containing AU. the Debates, &c. &c., spill answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly. Respectable Agents trill always supply the proper paper; but where any wilful neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " The Sun" office, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their representations.

(LATIr - ntl LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1845. whose object is the destruction of domestic institutions existing in other sections—institutions which existed at the adoption of the constitution." Would any honest man believe that this stout Republican, who I freely invokes the blessing of GOD upon his adini • nistration, and talks glibly of the mercy of PRovt- DENCE, was in these set phrases disguising se atrocious a practice as negro slavery, and excusing, ' in .this boasted ark of human liberty, forsooth, the damning pollution of wholesale, natural slave-trading? Why, we shall look to the next overland mail for a me morial to the Governor-General of India from the per secuted " Thugs" of Mysore or Rajhpootana, pray ing that their highly respectable " institutions" may not be put down, in compliance with the wishes of other " sections" of the Penersales. But this hypo crisy is of a piece with the colouring at tempted to be given to the Texas affair. " The Republic of Texas has made known her desire to come into our Union —to form a part of our confederacy, &c. Fortunately for the truth, President TYLER had " made known " the " desire of our confederacy" to filch and kidnap Texas from Mexico at any hazard; and it will require a better casuist than J. K. roue to show that it was not the United States' Government which took the initiative in the matter, and resorted to such means for the at tainment of its object, as will for ever 'elect infamy on that Government, and, in all probability, at no distant period, dissolve this perfidy-cemented " Union." We know that. in Washington a man taking office would sometimes, wi bout scruple, commit himself to parties who had avowed in the heat of party and elec tion contests very extravagant designs, but we never did expect to find a President prepared to maintain from his official chair, as courses to which his Govern ment would feel itself pledged, the wildest and most monstrous fallacies that had ever been spouted to credulous mobs from municipal hustings. Of this kind, however, was his grave reiteration of the over and again exploded notorious fallacy that Texts had ever formed part of the Federal Union. But really the most impassable medium we have ever heard of is a new PRESIDENT'S conscience. It is impervidus to any given set of recollections which might inconve niently disorganize a preconceived statement shaped to a particular end. But recollections, on the other hand, wl.ich if they escaped would blow away the whole effect of such a statement, it smothers " sub ino pectere." The PRESIDENT, talking compla cently of the enterprise which American citizens have shown, under the auspices of their free Go vernment, in exploring the wi!d countries about the banks of the Mississippi and the Missouri, says, " The titles of numerous Indian tribes to vast tracts of country have been extinguished." Why did he pause at that point, and forbear to touch upon the " tribes of Indians," as well as their "titles," ex tinguished by the exterminating operations of the force employed by the United States ? But enough of this sorry composition, in that character. The inferences it suggests are of a nature so grave, that we cannot trust ourselves to follow them out to the point they seem to tend to, lest we should seem to ,desire rather to insist upon than to mitigate the mischievous construction which pro jects thus crudely enunciated are tiectesarily liable to. If the political morality upon which it is sought to justify the annexation of Texas, were to be acquiesced in by this country, we cannot see how we could dispute its application to Mexico. Does the.. PRESIDENT imagine that the United States ss ill he permitted to absorb into their Federa tion the Empire of the Aztecks? If Great Britain could be induced to tolerate the execution of the de: signs of the States on the Oregon territory, with what reason could she resist the incidental passion that the model republic will assuredly conceive for the pos session of Canada ? If the PRESIDENT finds Texas on the southern boundary with such happy pre dispositions to join the Union, wia he be at any loss to discover similar longings equally evident in Ca nada on the northern frontier ? But be the intended future march of territorial avarice what it may, it must be stopped in these first steps of its actual pro gress. We begin greatly to fear that the moral foible of the natural character of America, her intolerable passion for boiscrous vaunting, must be checked by something more than a great moral lesson. But how ever much we shall deplore the necessity, whenever that may arrive, we have nothing, thank God, to fear for the result. It \via be the felicity of Great Bri tain to put forth her irresistible, power in the most disastrous issue that may follow these portentous indications, in vindicating the triumph of her un sullied character and her indefeasible ri6hts, authority, and possessions. The inaugaral address of the new Pre:if - lent of the United States contains some passages that should not be allowed to pass unnoticed at the period of their first promulgation to the British Public. In the rapid notice we have already taken of this document, such passages have been, perhaps, too lightly touched upon, not to make it desirable to subject them to a more particular notice, before dismissing the paper from our view. It is but too probable that the " Ad dress," however humble its pretensions as a State Paper, tried by our European standard of political criticism, may hereafter be found to possess an ad ventitious value and notoriety, from its shadowing forth of events that are in rapid progress to develop ment, to which its intrinsic merits would never en title it. done at Saint Maur, where they are establishing two arsenals, a manufacture of arms, a foundry, ke. The Chambers have consented to some forts supporting the fortifications of Paris, but they have never dreamed of placing Paris under the guns of a great fortress, and of stationing at that fortress an army beyond the reach of the people and laws; yet this is what has been d no at Vincennes." The National, one of the original supporters of the measure, joins in the cry, and calls upon the whole population of France to re sist a scheme for overawing the friends of liberty. The Courrier Francais can attribute this act of the Ministry only to insanity. This question, it is an ticipated, will excite war discussions in the Chamber of Deputies, but in vain. They have sanctioned the measure ; it is one of the hobbies of the " Chateau," and besides it would be utterly absurd to erect forts without guns. The discussion in the Chambers on railway c.ompanies and the Customs Bill were still going otb, but they possess no interest to the English reader. The accounts from Switzerland, of the 24th inst., are not favourable. The country is in a very excited state, both from the spirit displayed by the free corps and the attitude taken by the neighbouring powers. The Basle Gazette states that Switzerland is threatened either with a civil war or a foreign intervention, and all the battalions of the canton of Lucerne were sum moned to arms on the 23d. Orders, also, had been given for reinforcing the Austrian troops in the Tyrol in the event of a civil war breaking out. The following is the intelligence from Argau, dated March 23: - "Important events seem to be impending. Last week the free corps were convoked in all the districts where there were any. They have been organised into com panies, and have received orders to keep ready to march on the first signal given them. The officers have been appointed. festerday orders were given by the Com mittee to the Chiefs of the Communes to provide vehicles for the conveyance of the free corps to a rendezvous, and, perhaps, fur the conveyance of the wounded. The free corps have thirty-eight pieces of ordnance at their disp-s4l. It is affirmed that they are commanded by a Lieutenant-Colonel, sty led in spector of the cantonal militia. Despite, however, the effort made by influential persons to increase th e effec tire force of the free corps in our canton, their numbers will not amount to above twelve hundred men. The in cursion into the canton of Lucerne is fixed for the 26th or 27th of tiiis ink r th. Eight hundred men from Lu cerne were yesterday expected at Sursee." The Paris Constitutionnel, which is supposed to re ceive correct infamation from head-quarters, says : " I cannot," says Mr. Porx, " disguise the diffi dence with which I am about to enter on the dis charge of my official duties." This mealy nzouthedness is really pretty well for the head magistrate of a Republican Government, who proceeds to announce such schemes of territorial spoliation, and to become the apologist of such wholesale aggressive encroach ments on the rights of independent States, as have probably never been publicly preached since the days in which SAroR or GENGHIS KHAN used to exhibit the ferocious courtesy of dispatching heralds to the remote monarchs whose dominions it had occurred to the mighty conqueror (after the fashion in which similar projects suggest themselves to JAMES K. PoLK) that it would be highly expedient to unite to his own—on what day of what month and year, and in what city of the world, they would do well to be prepared to surrender their sceptres and their lives into the hands of the all-conquering King of the Kings of the Universe. This diffident gentle man, accordingly, begins with a measure for taking from Mexico, against her consent, a portion of her dominions, about as large as Great Britain, and an nexing it, contrary to the protests of its own de facto Government, recognised by " J. K. I'." himself as an "independent one," to the overgrown dominions of the Union. He proceeds, in a parenthesis, to assume for granted—insdefiance of history and fact, prior right of discovery, and stipulations of treaties—and with about as little recognition of the purposes and objects of the British Minister, Mr. PAKENHAM'S mission on the subject, as his predecessor had shown of the reclama tions and protests of the Mexican Mini3ter against the fraudulent attempt upon Texas—to assume forgranted the title of the United States " to the country of the Oregon," as " clear and unquestionable." Such an impudent perversion of facts could never have entered the mind of a State officer who had not, from the habit of dealing with, for, and in slaves, acquired the had habit of supposing it unnecessary to consider what amount of qualifying truth ought to be infused into any statements he might vouchsafe to make. As to the annexation of Texas, it had been clearly. shown, as we remarked in a former article, by the best authorities in the American Councils, that the project was contrary to the federal Constitution —a positive in fringement of express and declaratory articles in that instrument. Mr. POLE, who is of that faction among his countrymen who are for " going the whole hog," throws that ugly recollection overboard, and sets up a false colour in its steal. " It will be his first care," he observes, " to administer the Government in the true spirit of that instrument, and to assume no power not expressly granted or clearly implied in its terms." This was already done to his hands by that very honest person, Mr. Joni TYLER ; and he adopts an.l gives operation to TYLER'S act. We pass over the large demands he makes upon the good na. , ture or simplicity of mankind, for all credit to the manifold practical as well as theoretical excellences of the form of government enjoyed by the subjects of the Union. These paper virtues' have been for some time past at a considerable discount in all other parts of the world, like the Pennsylvanian bonds; and we see no likelihood of J. K. POLK'S patting them on any better footing, as to foreign circulation, than had been effected by J. TILER. " In some sections of our country," says Mr. Posaa, " it is a source to me of deep regret to observe that misguid e d 'personshave occasiolially indulged in schemes and agitations " The news received from Switzerland wculd seem to give warning 'of grave events. The Government of the canton of Lucerne, of this canton subject fur more than three months to a system of terror, of which there has been no example in that part of the world, ap pears a prey to a feverish excitement, and rushes into extreme means, thinking to supply by violence the elements of life which are wanting to it. It only re strains itself through fear of foreign intervention, in ease of a domestic struggle. On their side, the populations of liberal Switzerland, which form the immense ma jority of the nation, support with difficulty the tone adopted in certain diplomatic notes. They Is ould pro bably have submitted without too much of jection to an adjournment, seeing the impotency of the Diet to decide the Jesuit question at present ; but they are exasperated by this intervention to such a degree, that on many points it is impossible to restrain the expression of their discontent ; so that it may be said that all the steps taken by the Powers to prevent, as they say, the popular out- Creak, have only served to accelerate it. The men who enjoy the confidence of the nation, such as the Avoyer Neuhaus, of Berne, M. Wieland, of Arau, and M. Drury, of Lausanne, exert all their influer ce to re strain the resentment of the masses. What has raised to its height the indignation of the Liberal party it M. de Metternich's note, less violent in form than M. Guizot's, but not at ottom less offensive.. We understand that the Prussian Minister has just taken, with the President, a simi'ar step to that of his col leagues. Thus, tiers is only wanting in the concert of representatives, of which Switzerland is the object, the co-operation of Russia. It is nevertheless possible, ac cording to shat our correspondent writes us word, that the crisis, which appears inevitable, may be confined to the overthrow of the unnatural state of things which prevails at Lucerne, and that the question of the Jesuits, the sole cause of the state of disorder in which Switzer hind is p'unged, may at last receive a solution by the change of the vote of this canton in the Diet. In the midst of the grave circumstances which agitate Switzer land, M. de Pontois quitted Zurich on the 23d, to repair to Paris, where he comes, no doubt, for directions."

TOTAL ABOLITION OF CUSTOMS AND OTHER DUES AT AUCKLAND, NEW 'ZEALAND.

The Bill presented to the French Chamber of De puties by Marshal SOULT, requiring a vote of 17,750,0001'. to provide guns for the fortifications of Paris, has raised a violent outcry from rearly all the OppoAtion journals, but the time for such a display of patriothin has gone by. Most of these papers cordiz.lly supported the plan when M. TLIERS' party raised the war-cry against England; they now find themselves sadly mistoken, and exclaim against mea sures of their own seeking. The Commerce, how ever, is au exception. If we remember right, it has been constantly opposed to these fortresses, and may therefore show that its anticipations were well founded. " Extensive barracks," it says, " are about to be erected in the very capital, which will convert each bastion into a citadel - im pregnable to the citizens. In raising the forts the Chambers never intended perpetually to concentrate round Paris the greatest militavy estab lishment in the kingdom, or to collect there all the attirail of au army; yet this is what is about to be THE SUN, LONDON, SATURD A Y EVENING, MARCH 29, 1845.

Henri Thoma , , a young mnn, who stated himself to be a sailor, living in Charles -street, Hampstead-road, was charged with burgliriouhly breaking out of the dwelling house of James Smith, Esq , of No. 14, Soho square, rving stul. n therein► a quantity of plate, and wearing ap • - Johanna Callaghan, servant to Mr. S,Lith, stated that about eight o'clock last evening the prisoner brought a note, addressed to her master, which she tuck to him tip' stairs, leaving the prisoner standing in the hail, waiting for an answer. Having received one from Mr. Smith, he went away, but returned again in a short time, and asked leave to wait in the hall, as a gentleman would call there in a few minutes respecting the note he had brought. Witness c nsen:ed to his remaining there, and went down stalls. Shortly aft( rwards she noticed that he was not in the hall, and concluded he had gone away. It however ap peared that he had managed to secrete himself in one of the apartments in the house, and remained there all night. .13,-tween five and six o'clock this morning, as she was coming down stairs, she thought she heard the footsteps of same one in the passage Lad ing to the street-door, and on hastening there saw the prisoner in the act of going out at the door. He shut it after him, and, on her opening it, she found him on the step, putting on a pair of her master's boots. He had also a coat belonging to her master on his arm, and a bundle tied up in a silk handkerchief. She seized hold of him, but he broke from her, and set off running. Although she was only half-dressed she pursued him for a considerable distance, calling " Stop thief !" and at length he was suizA by police constable No. 118 of the C divisicn. The hurdle was found to contain two frock coats, five silver gravy spoons, two silver forks, four silver soup lades, and two silver tea-spoons, Mr. Smith's property, and which he had taken from different parts of the house. Mr. Smith said the note the prisoner brought pur ported to be from a person he knew nothing of, respect ing some publications, and was evidently a ruse to get into the house. The prisoner made no defence, and was committed for ,rial at the Central Criminal Court. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was not brisk.

SUICIDE OF A MAN TIIROUG II THE BAD TEMPER OF ins WlFE.—Yesterday Mr. Wm. Carter held an in quest at the Waterloo Arms, George-street, Cam berwell, on the body of James Edward Crowe, aged 31, general dealer, of No. 4, Waterloo-street, close by. Mr. John Godbold, baker, Manchester terrace, Liverpool-road, Islington ' said that he had been intimately acquainted with deceased for some time past. About a week since he called upon wit ness, when he complained, with tears in his eyes, of his wife's ill-usage. The deceased had frequently recited acts of cruelty on the part of his wife towards him. On one occasion he observed that his hands were blistered, and that his face was marked, which the deceased said had been done by his wife during a fit of passion with a red hot poker. Such ens her violent temper, that during her confinement, deceased informed witness that she had had; within one month, no fewer than four separate nurses. Witness did not think deceased was in em barrassed circumstances, but his opinion was that his mind had become impaired through the violence of his wife. Joseph Leach, a lodger in the house of deceased, said that on Wednesday morning last, about eight o'clock, on passing through the back kitchen, be saw deceased hanging by the neck, with a rope which was fastened to a gas-pipe in the wall. Verdict- 7 'f That the deceased destoyed himself during a fit of mental de rangement." FINSBURY BANK FOR SAVINGS.—The managers of this Institution held their 28th annual melting at their board-room in Sekforde-street, on Friday last, Mr. Eli Baylie, trustee, in the chair. The auditor's accounts for the past year were presented and approved, and showed, on the 30th of November last, a capital of 185,3561., and an increase in the year of 18,990/. The number of deposits was 14,530—an increase over previous years of 1,595 ; the number of new accounts, 2,336—an increase of 283 ; the number of accounts open, 7,230—an increase of 907; the in terest received from Government, 6,6291.—an increase of 750/. The amounts received and paid were both larger than in any former year. The interest now i payable to depositors is 31. per cent. per annum, and notwithstanding this reduction of interest f.om 31. Bs. per cent., the capital has since increased to upwnrds of 190,000/. The average number of persons attending this savings bank on receipt nights during the past year was two hundred and ninety, of which number forty-six attended to open new accounts. The annuity department has in its second year made considerable progress, the sums paid for them having increased from 2,2751. in 1843, to 5,2231. in 1944; total, 7,498/. The provisions of the new Act (7 and 8 Victoria, cap. 83), extending the amount of these annuities from 201. to SOL, and allowing a husband and wife each to have one, will, no doubt, tend to its further increase ; but the great advantages allowed by Government to the purchasers cf these peculiar annuities (granted under Act 3 William IV., cap. 14) is now restricted to parties rot possessed of 150!. per annum. Since the accommodations of the bank have been extended the business has very much increased in all its departments, and the average addition to the savings-bank capital of the fast two years has exceeded by nearly 12,500!. per annum that of the twelve previous years—a progress kept pace with by some other banks, and in part accounted for by the knowledge the indus trious classes now have, that Government security, en tirely of capital, whenever required, and also entire freedom from the income-tax, are the lending features of this *tad all similar institutions. SHIPWRECK ON THE GOODWIN SANDS.—A meet ing of the Commissioners of Salvage of the port of Deal took place on the 27th instant, at the office of Mr. George Mercer, their registrar, to inquire into the circumstances attending the saving of the lives of the captain, crew, and passengers of the ship John Knox, homeward-bound • East Indiaman, wrecked on the Goodwin Sands on the night of the 22d inst., in a heavy gale of wind, by that veteran George Philpot, and his hardy crew, in the lugger Industry, of Deal, at the imminent risk of their lives, thus adding another act of daring intrepidity to the many already performed by that celebrated boatman. The captain of the John Knox, who was present, bore his grateful testimony to the exertions of the Deal m , ,n, and stated that in his opinion no boatmen. in the re orld would have come alongside the ship at that moment except the Deal men, and that but for their assistance the lives of all must have been sacri ficed. The Commisioners immediately forwarded a statement of the facts to the Lords of the Treasury, strongly recommending the men to their Lordships' favourable consideration fur some special iernnueretion. DEATII Or SIR HERBERT (JAKELEY.—We are sorry to announce the death of Sir Herbert Oakeley, Bart, Archdeacon of Colchester, Dean of 13oeking, and Prebendary of St. Paul's, which took place at Patteson's Hotel, in Lower Brook-street, on Thursday morning, the 27th instant.

Sir Herbert was born in 1791, and in 1826 married Atholl Alurray, daughter of Lord Charles Aynsley, and niece of the late Duke of Atholl. He survived this amiable lady cnly fourteen months. He is succeeded in the Baronetcy . by his eldest son Charles William Atholl, who was born in 1828. ANOTHER EXPEDITION TO NIGER.

His proceedings in th e , r ,ble suit of this object are both interesting and vs: 11- le to medie al science. In his first voyage to.
