the head of th em e Government would realise the anticipations which he had formed. He admitted, as had been often stated, that the agricultural and manufacturing interests were blended —and that when one was benefited and alleviated, the other was also benefited and alleviated. Three years ago there was great distress in the manufacturing districts, and if the Go vernment held out to them this language, " We know you are in great distress, but that is not owing to the Govern ment, it is owing to disturbances in the affairs of America, and accidental causes. We therefore cannot relieve you, but we purpose to take the duty off malt, and though we de not directly benefit you, you will be benefited indirectly."—lf the Government held out such language to the manufacturers he thought the manufacturers would be justified in saying you do net use us well.—(Cheers.) The agriculturists were now in the condition the manufacturers were in then, and yet they were only relieved indirectly by re moving the taxes that pressed upon industry.—( Hear, hear. ) He did not agree with the Hon. Member for Northampton, or, as some had said, the Right Hon. Gentlemen would give them op. He believed that the Right Hon. Gentleman thought that agricultural distress was owing to temporary causes, and that if he thought it was owing to any serious evil, he would be ready to apply a legislative remedy to relieve it. Mr. COLLETT could not support the Right Hon. Gentle- Man the Member for Bath. It was too much the case with the Legislature heretofore, to make the poor man still poorer, and the rich man richer, but the measure of the Right Hon. Baronet went in an opposite direction. He highly approved of the remission of the taxes made by the Right Hon. Baronet. Mr. ROEBUCK replied. He said, that every person who !poke on his side of the House condemned the property and income-tax, with the exception of the Hon. Member for Ken dal, who condemned it however for three years, and wished it to be permanent. But every person declared that the tax would be permanent, and every person said he was opposed to a permanent property-tax, thereby he condemned the whole tax, and yet each and every one said he would vote for it. Mr. C. BULLER rose amidst loud cries of " Divide, divide." He said he would not occupy the House long. He was aware of the odd position in which they were placed who voted for the tax as pointed out by the Hon. Member for Bath. It seemed the universal opinion on his side of the House, with the exception of the - Hon. Member for Kendal, who thought they would get rid of an injustice by making it perpetual—( Hear, hear)—but, with that exception, it seemed to him that every person was of opinion that the income tax would be unbearable if it was to be con tinued as a permanent tax. Nothing could induce him to vote for the continuance of that tax, though he ad mitted it might be submitted to for a temporary purpose. After the debate to-night it would be alt insult to tell any one that this tax was to be regarded as anything but a permanent tax. He had never heard the temporary nature of the tax put forward in more faint terms than it had been by the Govern ment.—(Hear, hear.) He asked the House not to attend to the assurances of the Right Honourable Baronet, but k to say that the Budget was such that it was impossible to suppose that at the end of three years the lax would be taken off. The Right Hon. Baronet had gone so headlong into the subject this evening that it was to be supposed that they would have a most glorious revenue if they had no taxa tion at all.—(Cheers and laughter.) What was it that had caused the present favourable state of the country ? Why, two good harvests and a continuance of the American trade. He called upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer to stand up and insure two more good harvests and a continuance of the American trade.—( Cheers. ) If such an event was to take place, the country would still be prosperous. If they were for a permanent tax, they must support the pre sent measure, for they might depend upon it it would be so, and then it became them only to modify it, and make it as bearable as they could. He trusted that they would not be called upon to express their opinions by a division on the policy of an income-tax that night. After the debate of that night, he should nut consider himself concluded, but at perfect liberty to pursue any course he thought proper. He should support the amend ment of the Hon. ,Ismber for Bath. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Commit tee divided, when there appeared— Fur the amendment 55 Against it Majority...... --208 Mr. ROEBUCK said he would move that the provisions of the income-tax be extended to Ireland. Mr. SHELL said be congratulated the Hon, and Learned Gentleman on his abruptness, and he was glad that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had an opportunity of burking a speech in favour of conciliating Ireland. Lord HOWICK could not think the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was serious in this matter. • Mr. ROEBUCK was quite serious. Mr. CURTEIS said he thought the Chairman ought to re port 13iogress and ask leave to sit again. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER suggested the piepriety of at once coming to a decision on the matter. Mr. ROEBUCK did not think the House should be hurried on so important a matter. After a few words from Mr. WILLIAMS and Mr. SMYTHE, Sir ROBERT PEEL expressed his decided opposition to the imposition of an income-tax on Ireland—the stamp duty had been increased on the faith that the income-tax should not be imposed. Lord JOHN RUSSELL quite agreed in the observations of the Right Hon. Gentleman, and thought it was better to post pone the consideration of the matter to Wednesday next. He wished to know when the question of the sugar duties would be introduced. Sir R. PEEL was understood to say on Friday next. The House then resumed, and the Chairman reported pro gress and asked leave to sit again on Wednesday. DARTMOUTH ELECTION. The SPEAKER announced that the securities for prose cuting the petition against the return of Mr. Somes, for the borough of Dartmouth, had been completed.

The Lords met at Five o'clock. Lord CAMPBELL laid a Bill on the table to improve the administration of justice in Scotland. Lord BEAUMONT laid a Bill on the table for awarding compensation to the friends of persons killed by ac cident. A conversation then ensued on the subject of the railway department of the Board of Trade, in the course of which Lord BROUGHAM expressed his dissatisfaction with the constitution of the Board, and again alluded to the O'BRIEN affair, on which subject the Earl of DAL IIOUSIE refused to furnish any information, while the Duke of WELLINGTON bore his personal testimony to the high character of Mr, O'BRIEN. The House ad journed at six o'clock. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. Various petitions were presented, and among the no tices of moti on g i ven was one pt professions, t ra d es, and offibyees, Mr. fr o m R OEBUCK,the operat i on t exe I 1 3 llowicK ga ve r i se to a lengthened of Atheglunecstoim-ta question B Lo i r l d l. conversation on the subject of th e Railway Committee of the Board of Trade, in the course of which _ _ Sir G. CLERK refused to lay before the House any statement of the manner in which the different members of the Board had voted, on the ground of its being con trary to precedent. Mr. &a= said that suspicion would rest upon those who shut out the light ; and that if the House did not know all and everything, they would pay no attention whatever to the reports of that Board. Mr. WALLACE gave notice of a motion on the subject. Several other Members addressed the House, and, after a vindication of the Government by Sir R. PEEL, the subject dropped. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means, and the debate on the resolution for continuing the income-tax was resumed. Lord JoUN RUSSELL expressed his regret at the determination of the Government to retain the income• tax, which he imagined would, ere long, become per manent. He rejoiced to hear that the navy was to be increased. He approved of the removal of the duties from cotton and glass, but could not understand why the auction duty was given up. He thought it would have been better to take the duty off fire-insurances. The Noble Lord complained that no details had been furnished of the articles in which the increase had taken place in the customs duties. The Noble Lord, in allusion to the proposed alteration in the sugar duties, took occasion to go into the general question of protection, and admitted that protective duties should be withdrawn gradually and cautiously, rather than suddenly and abruptly. lie felt the impossibility, under existing circumstances, of withholding his assent from the proposition which the Chairman had in his hand ; but he should vote for it, with the hope that the income-tax would not be con verted into a permanent burden. Mr. ROEBUCK objected to the proposed plan of taxa tion as onerous, obnoxious, and mischievous, and con cluded by moving as an amendment to leave out of the resolution the words " professions, trades, and offices," not for the purpose of exempting them altogether, but of subjecting them to a regular system of taxation, such as he had described. A long and interesting discussion followed, which was wound up by _ _ _ Sir R. PEEL, who repeated his conviction that the country would be relieved in three years from the burden of the income-tax, and said that even if the ex periment should not meet his expectations, the benefit to the community would more than overpay the loss to the revenue. After which the Committee divided, when there ap peared:—For the amendment, 55 ; against it, 263 ; majority, 208. The House shortly afterwards adjourned, at Twenty minutes past One. The prospects of the House of Lords for the pre - sent session are truly deplorable. Regarding them as coadjutors of the Commons, and equally bound by duty to attend to the affairs of the community, the public must look with apathy on a body which rarely originates any measure of importance, and which has absolutely nothing to do till the commencement of the dog-days. But they are to be pitied chiefly for their own sake. Idleness is one of the greatest of calamities, and it is therefore painful to see their Lordships trotting down to the House, as if they were in urgent haste to commence business, and after hearing prayers, presenting two or three petitions, and getting up occasionally some amusing con versation, return as they came. It would be in finitely better to adjourn on the first day of the ses sion till after Easter, and attend to their estates in the provinces than to waste their time in empty show and mockery of legislation. The whole business announced for the session consists of a Bill on bail in error and an amendment to the Charitable Bequests Bill. These were announced by the Lord Chancel lor. The other law Lords have announced little, whether from the effects of the epidemic so con genial to the House, or from jealousy and a well grounded fear that if one starts a good measure, the others, true to their vocation, will fight against it till it is torn to pieces, we have no evidence to show. This is a lamentable waste of time, but that is the least evil, for when the Bills of the Commons come up in shoals, one half of them are thrown aside, many of the rest are sadly mutilated, and only a few occupy their Lordships' attention, because they have not time to do them justice. Last session, for instance, fifty two Bills came up in July, while not half the num ber, and these chiefly of minor importance, came up during the five preceding months, being in the pro portion of fifty to five. This is the more inexcusable, as there is one measure adverted to in her MAJESTY'S Speech which is peculiarly adapted to their Lordships House, adorned as it is with the Bench of Bishops. " The health of the inhabitants of large towns and populous districts in this part of the United King dom," said the QUEEN, " has been the subject of recent inquiry before a Commission, the report of which shall be immediately laid before you. It will be gratifying to me if the information and suggestions contained in that report shall enable you to devise the means of promoting the health and comfort of the poorer classes of my subjects." Her MAJESTY on pronouncing these sentences must have had the Bishops in view, and, no doubt, thought they would be much better employed in devising means to pro mote the comfort of her poorer subjects, than in reviving antiquated and Catholic practices, disturb ing the peace of families, throwing the Church into confusion, and endangering the best interests of the Protestant religion ; and, besides, who are so well fitted from experience, as Bishops, for relieving the distresses of the poor ? They have all been curates, and rectors, or vicars ; they, of course have mixed with the lower classes, visited them in their sickness and on their death-beds ; have inquired into their wants, and the causes of their sufferings; witnessed with pain the degradation and irreligion of the mind, caused by ignorance and poverty, and consequently acquired information ten times more valuable than could be obtained by a few paid Com missioners, who take many things on hearsay, and, at best, can give only a meagre outline of the melan choly causes of their depressed condition. This is a duty befitting a Bishop, and would form a noble contrast with that of those worldly-minded pre lates who consider the only object of their mis sion to the House of Lords is to look after their temporal and pecuniary affairs. Poverty and crime and infidelity are near neighbours. But for want of the very necessaries of life, and the miser able state of ignorance in which the lowest classes are left by their spiritual teachers, three-fourths of oar gaols would be empty, and our penal settlements abolished, yet Parliament goes on, year after year, in increasing the severity of punishments to which the Bishops give their assent, while, neither by their speeches as legislators, nor their deeds as the guar dians of the poor, do they show any disposition to avert crime by the only proper means—by destroying ignorance and relieving suffering. Would they adopt a different system, there are lay peers ready to assist them, and none more ready and willing than the Marquis of NORMANBY, who has humanely turned his attention to these subjects. We fear, however, that the idleness of their Lordships arises not from dire necessity, but the want of will, and that they will go on in the old monotonous system till an outbreak greater than that of the Reform Bill rouses them to a sense of their danger, and makes them again lay elaim to the title of " Tribunes of the people." was opposed to the Court, but obligei to yield. The Envoy still remained at Madrid, and it was believed would not leave for Rome till he saw the result. On the Bth the Three per Cents. closed at 32/, the Five per Cents. at 231, and the Debt without interest at 7i at 60 days. The Paris papers last week announced that a Mem ber of the Chamber of Peers, the Count DARU, it appears, had given notice of a motion for a Bill to check the present rage for speculation in railway schemes. On Saturday he brought the measure under the consideration of the House, when the Minister of Public Works said that he would support the general principles of the Bill, but it was a subject of such importance that the Government had resolved to introduce a Bill of their own. This is a preferable course, as the Minister of Public Works has access to information which a private individual cannot obtain. The main principles of Count DARU'i Bill met with the approbation of the Ministerial journals, while they admit that it has some very material defects. " What is the object of the Bill ?" says the Journal des Debats. "In the first place, to prevent as much as possible the formation of fictitious Companies, the object of which is jobbing, and not the creation of useful roads ; and, in the second place, to prevent abuses of confidence which may arise from persons who present but inadequate security becoming the depositaries of considerable suns, amounting, perhaps, to several millions, and thus placing strong temptations in the way of weak minds. This double object would be obtained if, on one hand, as the proposition suggests, the fund brought in by the founders amounted to one-fifth of the proposed capital, and if, •n the other hand, the sums paid in by the subscribers were immedi ately transferred from the hands of the founders to the Caisse des Depots et Consignations. These two mea sures constitute parts of the proposition. But since these two measures are sufficiently protective, of what use is the clause for preventing the opening of sub scriptions before the promulgation of the law for establishing the railroad ? The formation of a Com pany for any great undertaking, such for instance as the North railroad, or that of Lyons, each of which will require 150,000,000 francs, is not, in ordinary times, a matter so easily accomplished, as not to make it prudent to commence long beforehand. This clause would frequently obstruct legitimate specula tion, and by going beyond its object preventits being attained." The Globe is equally opposed to some of the clauses—for the best reason—that, in many instances, they would prevent the formation of important lines. That journal thus points out its defects : "Art. 1 prohibits opening a subscription for the execution of a railroad previously to the promulgation of the bill ordering the putting up to adjudication, or the direct concession of the works of the said line. This is to suppress the most efficient cause of the determination of Government in the presentation of railway bills. The Bordeaux line would be still on paper, if several serious companies had not determined the presentation of the bill. At pre sent, in particular, that the Government appears de• cided to leave the execution of all the works to companies, there can be no doubt that the previous formation of com panies calls forth the presentation of the bills. There will be many lines, and particularly branches, the execution of which the Government will adjourn, if one or several companies are not ready to undertake them. It is to take away the initiative from private speculation, to stop the move ment of men's minds and capital towards railroads. And why is all this? To prevent jobbing in promises. But you do not prevent it, when the bill deciding the execution of the line is promulgated. Is it less gambling after than before? If jobbing in promises is culpable before the bill is pro mulgated, why should it not be so after? Before and after, the company delivering the shares is ignorant if it shall execute the line; and the jobbers in promises, in the two cases, play a game of chance. Art. 4 requires that the first call of each subscription shall not be below the fifth of the nominal value of the shares subscribed for. That, again, is a prescription which does not attain its object, and which is bad, because it doubles the inactive and unproductive capi tal. Undoubtedly M. Darn wished to keep away small capi talists, and speculators not possessing the nominal value of the share, and who only subscribe to sell again immediately, in order to profit by the premium on the promise ; but then, and to be logical, it is the payment of the whole ♦alue of the share which ought to be demanded. The payment of two-tenths, in place of one-tenth, will not stop speculators, for the difficulties of payment are scarcely felt until the fourth or fifth-tenth. The payment of a fifth, in place of a tenth, will not therefore prevent the interference of jobbers, and, as we said just now, it will double the sum of the in active capital, which will go and sleep in the strong-box of the bankers, or in the Caisse des Depots et Consignations. To sum up, M. Daru's proposition does not appear to us a happy one. It is a good intention, which would be more fatal to railroads than a bad one." The journals still continue their remarks on the state of the Ministry, and the probable consequences of the ballot on the Secret Service Money Bill, but we find nothing new in their remarks. We learn from Berlin that the opening of the General Prussian Diet took place on the 9th instant. The Cologne Gazette observes that the whole of the Deputies were present, expecting to find in the speech on the occasion some allusion to the rumoured inten tion of giving a Constitution to Prussia. No allu sion of the kind, however, was made.

THE BUDGET. We have just received, through Mr. B.

We are indebted to a second edition of The Sun news paper for the means of promply supplying, in another page, a full report of Sir Robert Peers important finan cial statement in the House of Commons last night.

We, are indebted for a lengthened report, nearly nine columns, which was published in a late edition of The Sun of yesterday evening, and transmitted by extraordi nary express to Newcastle, where copies were received by Mr. Horn, of Market-street, at seven minuts past eleven o'clock this morning.—Newearife Journal. The foregoing report is abridged from a full report in the third edition of The Sun of last night, to the ex press of whose enterprising publisher we are indebted for it an hour and a half before our own arrived.—Bir mingham Pilo a The Bedford Mercury published a fifth edition, con tained a summary of the Budget, on Saturday morning, from the report of the Evening Sun, received that morn ing by post. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING•—AII happily success ful—having arrived at six o'clock at Westland-row, Dublin—dispatched to near 80 news rooms and provin cial papers, whose publication would suit. The excite ment was, I think, hardly so great even during the Re form Bill, and I hope it will tell with due effect. Madrid journals of the 9th instant have been re ceived. On the Bth the Senate took into considera tion the Clergy Dotation Bill, which is likely to give rise to important results. The Government, under the influence of the QUEEN-MOTHER, who is under the influence of the PorE, are evidently resolved to take some daring'step with regard to Church property. Before the discussion commenced, the Minister of Finance, Senor Mos, said the Government had re commended to her Majesty to suspend the sales, with the ultimate view of restoring the un sold portion of the Church lands as soon as cir cumstances would permit. That period had now arrived, and he therefore gave notice that he would shortly bring in a Bill to that effect. This uneasinessat h n e n o u n c e m Spanish i e n n t t ut , h ne voogye publict h from e r mind, •i l t t h na t i n h e d,e hasseus d p d e c e c i n aaul lsryee caused a u m r n o n of great g those who had become purchasers, for a belief pre vails that the PorE will not grant the demands of Queen CHRISTINA, unless the whole property sold, as well as unsold, is restored to the Church. The Opposition journals are strongly opposed to the scheme. " The declaration of the Finance Minister," says the Tiempo, " little surprised us, because it was evident when Ministers ordered the suspension of the sale of the clerical property, that they intended to restore it to its original owners. On that account we withdrew our support from the Cabinet the moment we perceived the course it meant to pursue. We were not deceived respecting its inten tions. In exchange for the property of the clergy the Government will offer us a concordat. It appears to it - us t that tha sacrifice." theconc ThdateE mighteodel com have been m o e b r t e a i i: is who s equally hostile, and it is said NARITA= on this point MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. There has been a re-action this afternoon in the value of the Public Securities. Consols have been 99i for Money, and 99i for Account, being per eent. lower. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. were 103# ; and the Three per Cents., 1004- to par. Bank Stock has been 2121 ; and India Stock, 283 to. The value of Foreign Stocks was slightly influenced by the decline in Consols. Spanish Five per Cents. were 27; 1 , ; and the Three per Cents., 404. Mexican Bonds were 35i ; Colombian, 14 to k ; Peruvian, 304 to 31 ; Russian, 1194; and Belgian, Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1011.

There are not any arrivals of consequence in the City to-day. It will have been seen by the readers of The Sun that a new Assurance Company has been started, under the especial patronage of her Majesty, with the title of the "Royal Naval. Military, East India, and General Life Assurance Company." The importance of associations of this description, founded, too, upon the most secure basis—i. e. public opinion— must in the long run be of incalculable benefit to society. The aid of the Government actuary, Mr. John Finlaison, is in itself a tower of strength to advance the interests of the society. It may be proper to state that, with the exception of two or three points, the financial exposé of the Premier has, upon mature consideration, given increased satisfaction to the commercial Masses. The quotations of Consols have been somewhat heavy this morning. For the Account the rate has ruled from 99%, buyers and sellers, and for transfer to-morrow at from 99% % ; the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been pretty firm at 10334 to %. Bank Stock has rallied again to 212 1 , ; and India Stock to 283. The premium on Exchequer-bills has receded a shade, viz., to 545. The business in the Foreign Funds has been slight, and the changes in the prices few. The Scrip of the new French Loan has been quoted at 3 / prem. ; Dutch Four per Cents. at a fall to 98% ; Spanish Three per Cents. to 41% ; the Five per Cents. to 28% ; and the Portuguese Converted to 58 3 %. In the other Foreign Stocks scarcely any alteration has taken place to-day. In the market for the Railway Shares, a vast amount of business has been transacted this morning, and, in general, at advanced prices.

THE THEATRES. FRENCH PLAYS-ST. JAMES'S. M. Frederick Lemaitre and Mademoiselle Clarisse com menced an engagement at this theatre last evening. The piece chosen for their debut was the domestic drama, La Dame de St. Tropez, which has run for upwards of ahundred nights at the Porte St. Martin, in Paris, and could Frederick Lemaitre prolong his stay among us, we have no doubt but that La Damc de St. Tropez would have an equally long run here. In this piece, which is a dramatic version of the story of Madame Laffarge, Frederick Lemaitre acts the part of Georges Maurice (the Laffarge of the real history), and great as we knew him to be (his Robert Ma caire, for instance, must be in the recollection of all play-goers) we had no idea that he was so transcendently great as he has shown himself by his delinea tion of the character of Georges Maurice. The scene is laid in the year 1781, at a time when class feelings and class ha treds were at their height in France. Hortense (Mdlle. Clarisse) is the daughter of a poor proud noble, whose estates are mortgaged for more than their value to George Maurice, a rich roturier, who has been the architect of his own fortune. Georges forgives him the debt, and asks the hand of Hor tense in marriage. The Count refuses, but Hortense, al ' though she dearly loves another, accepts him out of grati tuda, and they are married. On their road to St. Tropez, the residence of Maurice, they stop at a country Inn. There is a young man there, who has been laid up with sickness for many weeks—and Hortense recognises her lover, Charles Dellbeyme. They meet, she tells him she is married ; and writing a letter without direction, which she leaves to be given to him, rejoins her husband, and urges their instant departure. Maurice observes her manner, and questions her. She is agitated, but still all obedience and duty to his wishes. The horrid truth at once flashes upon him—she has married him out of gratitude not out of love. They arrive at St. Tropez. Antoine, his cousin and heir, a low, vulgar villain, takes every opportunity of insulting Hor tense, while Maurice endeavours by the most tender attentions to win her affections. Madame Langlois, a friend from Paris, visits her, observes her melancholy, and speaks to Maurice on the subject. Maurice opens his whole heart to her, and she promises to aid him in his en deavours to gain his wife's affections. The acting of Le maitre in this scene was chastely and beautifully pathetic. It went right to the heart. Charles Dellbeyme, it appears, had left the Inn at the same time that Hortense and Maurice had quitted it, and accordingly did not get her letter which the innkeeper forwards to St. Tropez, and which gets into the hands of Antoine, who loses no time in endeavour ing to rouse feelings of jealousy in the breast of Maurice, and who in confirmation of his slanders against Hortense, which are at first treated with contempt, produces this letter, In a fury of rage Maurice taxes Hortense with her crime, produces the letter, and swears vengeance on her and on her lover. This terrific scene was magnificently given by Lemaitre and Mademoiselle Clarisse, and the drop-scene fell at the conclusion of the third act amidst most enthusiastic applause. It appears that Charles Dellbeyme has been in the habit of receiving sup plies from an unknown benefactor. This unknown is Maurice, who having unwittingly killed his father feels it a duty to support the son. Maurice gives to Antoine a sum of money to take to Charles, and then makes a will be queathing all his property to Antoine's son. The will made, Antoine conceives the diabolical scheme of poisoning Mau rice. Maurice is taken ill. Hortense attends him day and night, and prepares all his medicines with her own hands. Still he gets worse. Hortense has gone to church to pray for his recovery—he is left alone—his physician enters, accom panied by another physician, a stranger. The medicine which had beer prepared for him by Hortense, is brought in by Antoine's wife. It is analysed. It is found to contain poison, and the wretched Hortense, on her return, is accused of being a poisoner. She demands to see her accuser, the new physician is brought in. It is her lover, Charles Dellbeyme. They rush into each other's arms. The look of horror with which Le maitre beheld this scene was perfectly sublime. Maurice is on his death-bed—he calls Hortense to him and forgives her, urging her to fly from justice. Con vinced of her own innocence he refuses and rushes out to give orders for her own arrest, in order to vindicate herself. Antoine enters, and Maurice raises him self from his bed, and sits at his dressing-table. His medi cine is on a table opposite, and on looking into the glass Maurice sees Antoine, whose back is turned to him, mixing poison in the cup. He dashes the cup from his hand, and at the alarm Hortense and Charles Dellbeyme enter, accompanied by the physician and domestics of the household. In the presence of all, he declares his wife's innocence; and, exhausted by the effort, dies, having previously placed the hand of Hortense in that of Charles Dellbeyme. Nothing could exceed the pathos and the beauty which Lemaitre in fused into the character of Maurice. The audible sobs of his auditors bore witness to his powers. The acting of Ma demoiselle Clarisse, as the innocent wrongly-suspected wife, was most heartrending. Both were called for at the fall of the curtain, and received with a perfect tumult of applause. The house was crowded with the elite of fashion. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, FEB. 17.—Wind, moderate breeze from S. to S.E., fine clear weather. DEAL, FEB. 15, A.M.—Wind N.W., 16. . P.M.

Mr. Edwin• Forrest, the American tragedian, appeared here last evening for the first time in the character of Othello. Mr. Forrest is certainly much improved since he was last amongst us. It is evident that he has studied his author and that he thoroighly understands him. There was a subdued tenderness in his delineation of the earlier scenes which was in excellent taste, and seldom have we heard the address to the senate more beautifully, or more correctly declaimed. The celebrated jealousy scene in the third act was most effectively given—from that moment a change came over him—the impassioned nature of the swarthy African burst through all restraint, and he was no longer a Veactiais, but a true child of the desert—with whom revenge is virtue. As a whole, his Othello is a vigorous and intensely powerful piece of acting, and he well deserved the applause which was bestowed upon him most lavishly. Graham's lago was excellent, and Miss Cushman's Emilia was very fine. Mrs. Stirling was the Desdemona, and most interestingly did she delineate the character of " the gentle lady married to the Moor." The play is admirably got up and excellently put on the stage. The principal performers received the usual honours of the call at the fall of the curtain, and were much and deservedly applauded. There was some confusion created just at half-price by an alarm of fire. The alarm however turned out to be, unfounded, and on receiving an assurance to that effect from the management, the audience remained quietly in their places. The house was a bumper. TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY. The room was well attended, and business, although sluggish in the early part of the day, improved towards evening, and on the whole was tolerably brisk at the undermentioned prices . CHESTER CUP. 8 to 1 agst Mr. Irwin's lot 9 to I apt Mr. Jaques's Semiseria 16 to 1 agst Mr. A. Johnstone's The Era 18 to 1 agst Mr. A. Johnstone's Obscurity—taken 22 to 1 agst Mr. W. Scott's Cataract—taken 25 to 1 agst Mr. H. Stebbings's Celeste—taken' 25 to 1 agst Mr. Gully's St. Lawrence—taken 25 to 1 agst Duke of Richmond's Strathspey—taken 25 to 1 agst Mr. Parry's Zanoni—taken 35 to 1 agst Mr. Bell's Winesour 30 to 1 agst Mr. Scott's Agriculture—taken 33 to 1 agst Mr. Irwin's Pride of Kildare 33 to 1 agst Lord George Bentinck's Pug 33 to 1 agst Mr. Williamson's Extempore 45 to 1 agst Mr. Osbaldeston's Sorella 50 to 1 agst Mr. Isaac Day's Seaport 50 to 1 agst Mr. Parry's Master of tho Rolls filly 2,000 to 35 agst Mr. Davies's Yheomun ac Knuc—taken 1,000 to 15 agst Mr. Irwin's Foigh• a-ballagh—taken 1,000 to 15 agst Mr. J. Day's Portrait—taken 1,000 to 15 agst Mr. Coleman's Devil's Dust—taken 1,000 to 15 agst Mr. Skerratt's Intrepid. With the exception of Pug and Pride of Kildare, who were entirely out of favour, every horse comprised in the above return was backed ; the investments, however, were of mo derate amount, and the alterations few and insignificant. We ought to mention that a commission to lay against Semi seria to the amount of 60/. was executed at 12 to 1, but with only a momentary influence on her position, as no one would bet more than 9 to 1 at the close. DERBY. 10 to 1 agst Mr. Greville's Alarm—taken and after wards offered 13 to 1 agst Colonel Peel's Cubweb colt—taken 14 to 1 agst Colonel Anson's Kedger 16 to 1 agst Lord Stradbroke's Idas—taken 18 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Pam 22 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Newsmonger—taken 30 to 1 agst Mr. St. Paul's Mentor—taken 30 to 1 agst Lord Glasgow's Miss Whip colt—taken 30 to 1 agst Mr. Mostyn's Pantasa 33 to 1 agst Mr. Gully's Old England—taken 35 to 1 agst Mr. A. W. Hill's Ironmaster (all in)—tak. 40 to 1 agst Mr. Stanley's Minikin colt—taken 40 to 1 agst Mr. A. Johnstone's Annandale 50 to 1 agst Mr. Jaques's Anti-Repealer—taken 2000 to 35 agst Lord Eglinton's Lycurgus—taken 1000 to 15 agst Mr. Irwin's Connaught Ranger—taken 1000 to 15 agst Mr. Coleman's Young Eclipse—taken 1000 to 15 agst Mr. Lintott's Cabin Boy—taken 10 to 1 agst Mentor, Pantasa, and Old England—taken. An increased disposition to back Newsmonger was the only noticeable feature in the speculations on this race; the price quoted shows an improvement of three points. All the lead ing favourites were backed, and so many inquiries were made about Mentor,lPantasa, and the Miss Whip colt, that we con fidently expect to see them cut a more prominent figure in the returns. 1,000 to 25 was taken, in three or four places, about the Minikin colt; the same, and 50 to 1, in fifties, about Annandale ; 1,000 to 20, two or three times, about Anti- Repealer; 1,000 to 15 each about Connaught Ranger, Young Eclipse, and Cabin Boy ; 20 to 1 was taken about the Iron master, with a qualification, and 35 to 1 all in. The question of qualification remains in abeyance. LIVERPOOL STEEPLE CHASE. _ _ 6 to 1 agst Knight Templar—taken. Mr. Hibburd, the Clerk of the Course at Ascot Heath, was on Saturday last appointed starter at Newmarket in the room of Mr. Perren. Mr. Hibburd's firmness and long expe rience in all the details of the race-course, will enable him to prevent the irregularities that excited so much disapproba tion at the last October Meeting, and are not unlikely to lead to his appointment to a similar office at Epsom, Doncaster, and other great meetings. Manchester Betting.—For 10 to 1 agst Lancashire Witch winning the three events mentioned in yesterday's paper, read 100 to 1. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE ON RAILWAYS. The following circular is issued by the authorised pub. lishers of the Mznchester Weekly Share List : " Whoever reads Lord Dalhousie's speech on the delivery of the report of the Board of Trade to the House of Lords, must see and understand clearly that the arrangements for conducting the railway sehemes put before it, and the general management in all respects, have been as well and as ho nourably conducted as it was possible to expect ; and that all errors or mistakes arising from the conduct of indi vidual speculators, rest entirely with themselves ; for it is notorious that the great influx of new schemes has brought forward a host of the very worst class of capitalists, as share speculators, putting themselves before the public in every equivocal form to hurry on a crisis that bids fair to wind up with very extensive disaster. If the rule recorded in the oldest book—a book in every one's possession —be of any value, the present is a fit period to respect it—' He that buildeth bis house with other men's money, is like one that gathereth to himself stones for the tomb of his burial." The safest prin ciple for all interests, and to avoid dangerous and unruly speculations in scrip shares, will be for Parliament in future to prohibit their circulation, by compelling subscribers to new projects to keep the bankers' receipts till an Act is got, or re jected. When got, the holder of the receipt being the real partner, becomes registered, and has his registered certifi cates delivered to him, with which he may trade as he pleases, with the best safety to the public and himself. If an application for an Act be rejected, the Directors should be forced to return to the subscribers, on their presentation of the bankers' receipt, the divisable part that remains after the account is made up, and thus end all further liability ; other wise the litigation and delay that may be set up will fritter away the fund to the hist " The ga►nbling on foot at all the places wuere suave busi ness has any away, is now prevailing to an unusual and frightful extent, and cells fvr the most prudent caution, gt, Manchester we have two rooms for conducting share li v e ness ; and notwithstanding the influx of brokers 0 11 e t re d public Exchange, their dealings with each other is rend be so very inconvenient to the mercantile community, as to to unreasonable and unnecessary annoyance, requiring be. regulation should it not immediately subside; for after tboe, lists for the day are printed at five o'clock, the business. ; share dealing is carried on in the public Exchange till tb. latest hour of its close, and the published lists are thus r, dered in a degree misleading or valueless to the interestea In such matters.
