X ",i• ettnina ~~ LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 16, 185 Mr. LAWLESS moved the adjournment of the debate— s motion which was Fupporteti by Mr. MOORR. Lord J. RUSSELL otjeuted to the further adjournment of the &bate, wnich was negatived, upon a division, by 359 againq 46. Mr. it Fox that moved the adjournment of the House whercul.on Lord J. RUSSELL consented to the debate being ad journed until this day. Tt e other motions having been tone through, the House adjourned at a Qadrter to Two o'clock. The debate on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill has been again adjourned. It was not the principle of the measure that was in question That had been affirmed by an overwh?lrniug majority on the second reading of the Bill, it was simply on the question " that the Speaker do now leave the chair," in order to go into Committee to consider the details of the Bill, that further discussion was demanded. It could not truly be asserted that the case had not pre viously been sufficiently canvassed, or that its nature was not clearly understood. It has, in fact, hitherto been the measure of the session, and it bids fair to be the sole monu ment of legis'ative labour during the Annus Mira bilis, 1851—the year of the Great Exhibition. It has been debated during thirteen working nights. Every member of the Lida Brigade has had an oppor tunity or explaining his views and opinions on the sub ject at least half a dozen times. We believe it would be impossible now to bring forward any new argument at all bearing on the topic, and yet we find a minority of 40—who must have clearly seen the feeling of the House when the first division disclosed a ma jority of 813 against the motion for adjournment— persisting in repeated motions to the same effect, and thus grossly abusing the power placed in their hands for a very different purpose, in order to offer a factious obstruction to what they well know must eventually become the law of the land, either in its present or in a more stringent form. This system of obstruction has at length become a perfect nuisance. It is absolutely intolerable that when there is so much to be done, and the time for doing it is so very limited, so many valuable days should be wasted through the undue observance of those rules which, though framed in a proper spirit for the pre veUtion of certain evils, have been so far perverted from their original purpose as to render the remedy far worse than the disease it was intended to cure. During the present week we have on Monday had the House adjourned without making any practical pro gress on the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill. On Tuesday the entire day was wasted in consequence of forty Members not being in attendance when the SPEAKER should have taken the chair ; and again Thursday has been lost in a similar mode to Monday, and on the very same topic. We must, therefore, once more call for a Committee of Inquiry on the standing orders with a view to their revision. The progress of legis lation must be expedited if we wish to achieve any practical amelioration in the existing laws, and the sooner the preliminary inquiries are entered upon the better. The time of the country must not again be misapplied and frittered away as it has been too fre quently of late years, and more especially since the commencement of the present Parliamentary cam paign. Unless the Guild of Literature be conducted throughout in a spirit of liberality proportioned to that by which its promoters appear to have been ori ginally actuated, it had better never have been pro jected. From its very outset we have accorded to the enterprise a support as earnest as it was spontaneous and unconditional. Immediately the undertaking be came subjected to the derision of one atrabilious calumniavr, we hastened to protest against a proceed ing so tit generous towards men who were, according to our belief, iefiaenced exclusively by feelings of nip gled b-nevolence and inagnatninity. Our confidence we are ready to acknowledge was implicit in the largeness of scope desirable upon every similar occaiion ; and we felt satis fied that no proket of a nature so pecu liarly beneficent in is purpose, and noble in its character, could be degraded into a parade of charity on the part of a mere clique for the enter tainment of a mere coterie, however select or illus trious. Unfortunately, we are already beginning to re cognise the dissipation of that day-dream which we have been cherishing with such preposterous cre clalty, and this, moreover, in spite of all that bas been uttered in a sinister manner to its disparagement. What we trusted might have proved under proper tend:d rU Z management an enterprise worthy of the send -111%1'4 in which it originated, and not altogether promote, is alreadygreat cbaeugsienainigt to wasasauimne up for the gatirt.of to itself th e ,„ . that half-a-doze:4°n an exclusive entertainment, got of a narrow eircie, to the end hour upon the sta egefiatlemen may strut their little evy t tia r i the amusement of the Court it must bneic:oenleassesed and their own ification. an any cir cumstancesthat an amateur per formance, in ninety_ triehme s h o o ll i t o . f . every hundred, is no th ing less than a rate And fatuous absurdity. there fore, would the lamentable character demonstration be enhanced, if we the QUEEN and her attendant / the spectators, and some of the More display of delibe nobles of can any' su ch particularly • _e_ of the living cultivators of lit erature among di mag ineamo moat disti! among the lucklesa group of the dramatis p ersona. Whether it may have been with a view to restrict the possibility of criticism, or, on the other band, to impart to the proceedings a miserable semblance of aristo. cratic exclusiveness, it appears that the conductors of the undertaking have assumed to themselves the pri vilege o f distributing among their literary contem poraries insults o f a rat h er g ratuitous description, heightened, moreover, by an affectation of couftesy and. the w Pro Ile of_ a bribe, pre sume it was imagine d - that a v e ry natural fee lug of badig h . a by . which. we tion could be propitiated. Inateid The Lords met last evening at Five, and after the transaction of some routine business adjourned. In the Commons the adjourned debate on the Eccle siastical Titles Bill was resumed by Mr. SCULLY, who expressed his conviction that the Government intended to enforce the provisions of the Bill, and would not let it remain, like the clause in the Act of 1829, a mer e brutuin fulmels. Mr. Wxoc.PnossNit denied that the Quzzx's prero gative had been attacked by the See of Rome. Mr. CAMPBELL thought it would be better to reserve further cialcussion until the House should be in Com mittee. Mr. TRELAWNY and Mr. P. HOWARD opposed the Bill. The LORD ADVOCATE isid that the people of Scot land felt the dt (pest ir.digriatiun at the attempt to re orgatrze a Charon which had been in abeyance for three cen tu. The language of the rescript was like that of a conqueror, and it was necessary to organize measures of dfteneo ' , gamin such an aggre4sion. Mr. REYNOLDS coubidered the use - of the word toles. tion, when used by one British subj•-ct to another, as most otf. Lyve. Be denied the existence of &,ny Euro- Lean conspiracy, because had any sun existed it must have been known to the Roman Catholic prelates of Ireland. 1 ~, air. WHITESIDE, in a first speech, defended the Bill, in which the Prot ebttants of his country, be said, took a deep in!erest. The relations of this country and Ireland towards the POPS Were at this moment of a peculiar and almost unprecedented nature. He had reminded the English p-ople of the happy dais they had enjoy, d when JAMES Was upon the throne, and he bad announced his deter mination to reunite England to the Sourish Church. Describing the recent proceedings of the Court of Rome towards Ireland, esp , cially with reference to the col leges —every step of which, he observed, required the attention of the House—Mr. WHITESIDS accused the POl.ll of doing an unexampled act in the appointment of Archbishop CULLEN, in order to acquire a domination over the It.}man Catholics of Ireland. and to govern them according to his will and that of the Propagßnda, He then adverted to the next step, the assembling of the Synod of Thurles—an extraordinary transaction, he said, and illegal throughout, for it was convened under the edict of the POPE, with the view of putting in circu lation the Papal reseripts. In connexion with these pro cEediegs, he °barged Lord CLARENDON with not up holding and enforcing the law, thereby offering en couragement to Papal encroachment; and he concluded with an animated reply to the speeches of Mr. BRIGHT and Mr. KEOGH. LONDON. PnIDAY -P,VENTNer• MAY To 1146 L as in literature, arrogating to themselves the authority belonging only to the accumulated voice of those illustrious authors wbo might each be regarded as the facile princeps of his generation. Henceforth we shall continue to regard the Guild with undiminished feelings of solicitude for its prosperity, however much we may consider the press as baying been gratuitously ia suited by its promoters, or however much we do unquestionably look upon the management of the enterprise as injurious to the interests and deroga- ;ory to the- character of literature. Whenever we can by possibility discover opportunities for pro. moting the cause of this among other benevolent in. stitutions we shall endeavour to avail ourselves of through the medium of our diurnal broadsheet, though at the same time we cast aside as altogether preposterous the notion of being coaxed into—com placency by free admissions to public performances. Based as the proposed institution will be upon a groundwork of magnanimous generosity, we shall rejoice to promote its interests hereafter by our a vocacy as cordially as we have striven to do so heretofore, notwithstanding that ill-becoming arrogance of the committee, which has induced them to act thus ungraciously and ungracefully to a considerable section of public journalists. Ready we shall ever be to express our indignation at those who may venture upon acts of gratuitous insult and ingratitude (howsoever largely they may plume themselves upon their importance), but equally ready also to subserve, to the utmost of our ability, any pr,ject of theirs which may appear to us de serving of encouragement, especially one as humane in its purpose as the Guild of Art and Literature. Retribution sooner or later descends upon any ruler who dares to adventure deliberately upon a path of mis-government. History has proclaimed this in a thousand instances from the beginning. It will continue until the end announcing the same inexora ble sentence. For examples of its veracity we need scarcely even turn a retrospective glance towards the records of antiquity. The truth is emblazoned in unmistakeable characters upon the scroll of the diur nal annalist: contemporary events assure us of the inevitable downfall of the upholders of tyranny in every clime and under every circumstance ; and the account of their adverse fate is given from time to time in the chequered columns of journalism. During a very narrow interval from the present moment we have seen the vengeance wreaked upon some of the most puissant princes in Christendom by that veritable Nemesis the energetic mass of the popula tion. In France the lesson was afforded by the first and last of the Orleans dynasty. In Austria the same ,warning was articulated by the movement which degraded FERDINAND from imperial pomp to a despicable and dishonourable obscurity. Now-a-days we are listening to the enuncia tion of the same terrible decree—a decree rendered audible by the intelligence received periodically from the shores of Portugal. There, in spite of innume rable portents r,f the destiny awaiting her maladmi nistration, DONNA. MARIA DA GLORIA has blindly persisted is that lanw-ntable system of favouritism which has so long proved ruinous to the members of the house of BRAGANZA. One might reasonably have expected that the narrow escape of the Queen of PORTUGAL, in 1847, from the chances of en ignomi nious expulsion, and a consequently involuntary de thronement, that her MAJESTY would have recognized at length the fu;ly of persisting in a course so detri mental to her own interests and so infuriating to the multitude. It would appear, however, that the impunity vouchsafed to the royal councils upon that occasion, by the unjustifiable in terference of the Spanish and British Govern ments, only tended to confirm her belief in the wisdom of her ill-considered policy, inducing her,• shortly atter the pacification of the kingdom, to sum mon once more to the conduct of affairs that most despised sad detested of all European statesmen, the notorious chieftain of the race of CABRAL, better known by his title as the Count DE THOMAR. For a long while past the chagrin of the nation at that pre posterous re-elevatioii has been more and more glaringly developed. From the manifestation made at intervals throughout the various provinces of Portugal it was sufficiently perceptible that the then existing position of things could not be very long preserved, but that ultimately a potent, If not wholly irresistible, movement of a reactionary character must be adventured upon by the malcon tentg. That movement, long anticipated and loudly foretold, at length co nmenced under the auspices of the noblest administrstor in the land, Field-Marshal the Duke of SALDA avii4t. People cannot already have forgotten the viol; isitu des which awaited that illus trious s o ldi er at tile :first outbreak of the present r evolution. Th ey cartnot l ose s i g h t o f t h e extraor dinary cir curastances u oder which the veteran leader of the P o pulace was suddenly tra ns f o r me d f rom an a pp are ntly ruined a n d outcast adventure r i nto the master of Portugal ! snd the vindicator of the rights of the Portuguese. ,The metamorphosis was too re markable and resple n dent not to have arrested the attention of the multit urle, enkindling their hopes and inflaming their imagin, ation. Since the abrupt as kd astonishing transformation here referred to, tbel pagross of, events has bets o f carr ying out the project in a. manger calculated to secure the favourable regard of all per sons indiscriminately, the ver'y reverse has been ac complished by the fact of the committee milking certain uncalled •for and invidious distinctions. We speak not of slighting those who have spontaneously encouraged the undertaking, whereas a petty sop is proffered at the very same moment to its assailants ; but we allude to the indelicacy of forwarding to our selves the following singular communication : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. "Dear Sir,—lt is much to , be regretted that in clnsrquence of the limited space of the saloon in Devon shire House, in which Sir E. Bulwer Lytton's new comedy is to be performed, we are prevented from for warding to you a ticket to witness the performance, it having been found impossible to invite more than the editors of the morning newspapers. " When the publio performances are given in a more spacious theatre, we shall have much pleasure in in viting yourself and friend to be present. "I am, dear Sir, yours, &c., " " W. H. WILLS, H onorar y S eere t a ry." Guild of Literature and Art, 10, Lancaster-place, Strand, 13th May, 1851." The indecorum of this letter we cannot but regard as altogether too glaring to require any comment by way of elucidation. Our cordial sympathies, we may be permitted to observe, were yielded to the project of the Guild of Literature as originally sug gested by Sir Bunwta LITTON, without any demand for their articulation, and without any other incite ment whatever beyond that arising from our spoil. taneous pleasure at its proposal. Yet it would appear that the committee have gone out of their way to ac knowledge this earnest advocacy of their ideas by thrusting an invidious selection upon our notice, and accompanying this with a petty and insulting promise of future consideration. We can only comprehend any proceeding like the foregoing upon the supposi tion that the gentlemen alluded to have fallen rather erroneously into the belief that they are pe culiarly and emphatically the collective representatives of English literature, and as such empowered to deal at pleasure either insults or compliments among their contemporaries with the rigour of Jonsson and the voice of BOANERGES. Against a belief of this some what extravagant kind we must be permitted, how ever, to enter our exception. For, although in one amateur we recognise a novelist of extraordinary genius, in another a drama tist of singular ability, in another a poetical com mentator of large and even splendid capacities, we nevertheless cannot lose a remembrance that other men, still surviving, of rare and admirable powers are among the number of those who adorn the annals of our contemporary literature—men who have added in many instances not less, and, in some few instances, even greater lustre to letters in their nume rous and diversified departments. Together with these recollections, we bear also in mind that our profession, as a systematic cultivation of knowledge, is likely to be marred very considerably by allowing any project like the one in question to degenerate into the movement of a clique - rather than of an entire com munity. Political reforms of anything like value or importance can scarcely, we opine, be brought about by three tailors of Tooley •street, calling themselves the people of England. Neither, we imagine, can an un dertaking like the present be satisfactorily guided in its development by - a score of amateur actors, however gifted they may chance to be in histrionics as wel equally rapid, if not equally beyond expectation. According to the latest intelligence received from . the Peninstilithe Gun party has been worsted in every particular, the Command in Chief of the army having heti), in fact, resigned by the King-Consort, and the resignation of that dignity formally accepted by the Queen-Regnant. Regnant her MAZE sT Y can only be regarded pro tempore, :he bauble of sovereignty slipping even now swiftly from her unconstitutional grasp. Not withstanding the formidable situation of affairs, it would seem that the capital still preserved an aspect of tranquility, although disturbances were anticipated by the citizens of Lisbon immediately upon the arrival of SALDANRA, an event expected to take place not later than the lath instant. Propitious as every thing relating to the movement in Portugal may have hirherto seemed to the personal friends and adherents of its veteran originator, it is nevertheless apparent to most persons by this time that be will find consider able difficulty in carrying out his views of reform entirely to his satisfaction. His sagacious judgment seems to have bowed already to the necessity of his position, concessions of a large kind having been made by him to the leaders and champions of the Septem bristas. Among other things, he bas been compelled to ally himself ministerially with Joss PASBOS, ore of the principal upholders of that faction —accounts from Lisbon variously assigning the Presidency of the new Cabinet to PASoOS and to SALDAIIIIA. Little doubt, exists, however, any longer that the rule of MARIA DA GLORIA is definitively doomed to a very speedy termination. The majority begin to direct their regard almost unanimously towards one of her MAJESTY'S children as her most probable suc cessor. In Dom PEDRO—to be called the Fifth in the event of his coronation—the people seem to re cognise some guarantee for the restoration of the rights originally secured to them by the Constitution. For as yet the young Prince is but a stripling, and might consequently be moulded in that form, the mere ideal of which excited a certain enthusiasm in the mind of the great BOLINGBROKE. However oc currences may turn out, it is undeniable that Por _ - tugal possesses at this moment an opportunity, the proper employment of which may be the means of securing to herself the enjoyment of a protracted era of prosperity. With the people of Portugal, therefore, and especially with the Duke of SALDANHA, their veteran commander, reposes an awful and most momentous responsibility—the responsibility of con • ducting to a perfectly satisfactory issue the present social and political revolution. If the patriotic chieftains of the movement do not under-estimate the importance of that responsibility, or if, on the other hand, they do not in some measure miscalculate its tendencies, the success of the movement of 1851 may compensate for the failure of the preceding our break of 1847, and SALDANUA may prove. a more fortunate leader of hi, race thin LAMARTIINE of the French, or KOSSUTH of the Hungarians. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) ;Before the LORD CHIEF BARON and n Common Jury DOE DEM. CALToN V PULLAN. This was an action in ejectment to recover possession of a house. lir. Barstow appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Pearce for the defendant. Mr. BARSTOW, in sta,ing the case to the jury, said the plain t . fl, Mr. Calton, woo was a gentleman of i nc h-- pendent, property. owned a house in Connaught-terrace, In the E igware-road, which he let to a person of the name of Brenan on a lease of 21 years, at a yearly rtntel of 751, which was to be payable quart Brenan negl.cted to continue his payments, and ulti mately left the house, previously assigning over the fade to the defendant, an elderly ludY, w ho took possession of the premises. She also refused to pay any rent, and th., iandlurd wa, unable to put in a distress, as the trout door was always kept cleat d, and the only means of communication with the inmates was through the iron grating of the arcs. The Learned Counsel adverted to the practice, now very common, of persons remaining in hutis,s without paying soy rent, for the purpose or inducing landlords to give them a bonus to leave, rather than incur the expense of a suit of ejectment. and said the plaintiff in the present case, in a spirit of liberality, had offert.d the defendant loot, to quit the premises, but that she positively retuned to do su unless she re ceiaed a larger sum. Here a lady. in rather ancient attire, whose face was shrouded in a huge bonnet, started up from one of the hack rows, and, amidst much laughter, announced that she was the uufortuuate d.lenditot, and indignantly denied the isiainuation of the Learned Counsel; adding, the house had cost her a great deal of money, and that she hop. d the jury would do her jestiee. Ir. PEARCZ corroborated the statement of his client, and said he was Feely to agree to a verdict, it the plain• dff woul.i adhere to his orgiral offer of 100/. Mr. Ittitsrw said as the plaintiff had been compelled to bring this action, l would object to give so large a sum, but being unxiuts to act fairly to the lady, be was ready to make her a present of 501. on condition that Ohe would at once give up possession. Lord CABIPRELL tholi F ht that was a very liberal offer, for, if Mr. Barstow was enabled to prove his opening statement, there c.,uld be no doubt the plaintiff would be waif led to a verdict. Af-er some turther discussion a vordict for 501, was taken by consent of the parties, the money to be paid on obtaining possession tf the premises. SECONDARIES'. -(THIS DAY.)

PITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yeStcrdafive re esti mated at 10.000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for export and 2,000 on spectilatiun. The mks. comprised about 8,000 American, chiefly at 6ifi.; 800 Perlman and Maratibani at 7i:i. to 80., 400 Egyptian at 6id. to girl., ivid 800 Surat at 3i,i. to 4id,. per lb. The market closed firmly with a moderate supply of American, and prices compvred with Friday's rates are 4. lower for American, and all other kinds id. to id.—The market for Railway Shares was flat, and prices at the close were considerably lower. The amount of business transacted in colonial and foreign produce this week has been large, but holders have met the buyers in respect to the prices of many articles. Coffee has not come into greater favour, but Sugar has been extensively dealt in, and at very full prices. Sine descriptions of Spices have been cheaper. Cotton is much depressed. Indigo has gone off heavily at the public sales. Wool opens rather briskly. The lash accounts from America inform us that the Bark of the United States has not yet actual up its af fair s, and millions upon milliclas of its claims upon indi viduals are in a state of litigation and liquidation. In 1837, the banks held a more powerful position in the financial world than at this moment. Then every one wanting a loan went to some bank, and obtained it. The banks then alm os t mono p o li se d th e loaning of money ; but now the case is entirely different. The ac cumulation of capital in the h an d s o f privateindividuals has created a large number of private bankers, who do an immense business in the way of discounting commercial paper, and it is the impri ssiou this!, in Wall-street alone, ten to fifteen millions of paper is floating about between individual' , or private bankers, independent of the in corporated banks of that vicinity, in every way. From the same source we have an estimat , l of the public and private iuile.4tetiness 4 .which, although neces sarily based upon imperfect data, is probably near the truth : 1837. ...." General and State Go veruments Cities and counties, debts Railroad and Canal Companies, debts Bank luaus 30,000,000 75,000,000 Total As to the banks generally of the United States, they are stated to have now a capi:al of 227,600,000 dollars against 290.000,000 dollars in 1837. Their specie amounts to 48 against 37 millions of dollars, and their circulation to 155 against 149 millions. The number of backs is 871 against 788. The result of the efforts made by the Lyons and Avignon and Bordeaux and Cette shareholders to pro tect their " caution" money has been the formation of a committee, and it is hoped there will be an amicable arrangement with the parties who seek to obtain a new and independent concession. Nevertheless the safety of the shareholders consists in their continued mud strenu ous co-operation with the committee. A sum exceeding 800,0001. is at stake, and this is an amount of national importance. Many individuals have subscribed several thousand pounds. In the Amsterdam Stock Market on the 14th inst. there was no c;•ant;e in prices, and very !kite was done. Dutch Two- atid-a-Halt per Cents. were 571. At Hamburgh last Tuesday the rate of exchange on London was will 13 3. The English Funds have been steady and there have been several transfers. Consols have realised 07 to for Money, and 974 for Acuount. Cash has again been in demand for the Share settlement, and Exche quer• bills have been heavy 45s to 465 premium. Bank Stock is firm at 210 to,. 211. India Stock has net been higher than 259: The NON Three-and-s-Qaarter per Cents. are 974 to 4. The price of the French reutes comes lower trom Paris after the previous improvement, but political affairs are lookil upon with favour. Foreign Securities have been variable, this being the settling day. Spanish Five per Cents. have realised 20k 4, and the Passive have risen to 6. The Ministers are expected to have an excellent majority. Portuguese Four _per Cents. have been quoted 324 to 334, being ratheilower. Mexican Bonds have been quoted 354 to 4. Brazil Stock is at 884, sniff Vencztiela at 33 to 4. Peruvian Deterred has been quoted 36i to 374. Dutch Two-and-a. Half per Cents. are 591 4; and sian Four-tincl.a-Half per Cents., 100 to look. Railway Shares have recovered a little from the ex treme depression of yesterday, but are still compara tively depressed. The Liverpool failures iu the Cotton Market have caused shares to be sold, for the purpose of raising money. Console ••• • 6 ... Ditto Account, June 10 ... QUARTER TO THREE 971 ...

O n ge t t i ng a b out m i dway he mou e,'" the seat in one o f th e recesses and got over t ed wall. One of the L on d on F ire Brigade men, nam e" Hinter, who was proce e di ng t owards the floating engine.d6 go on duty, seeing that the man contemplated NW° rushed forward, accerapanie by two or three other peesoett in the hope of preventing hi m f rom destroying ' hirtre:6" The fireman, at the risk of losing his own climbed over the wall, and the men who yore near held one of his arms, while he, with the oth er, succeeded in grasping the h an d o f the unfortunate rra., i_' He held him up in thi s s t a t e f or some time, but his weir' was so great that it w as i m p oss ibl e f or him to pull him ot He called for som e one on t h e b r id ge to get a rope to 1 05 under the man's arms, but before that could be accomplieb7 the weight of th e p oor f e ll ow near l y exhausted him, ec,,, being unable to keep hi s h o ld an y l onger the man fell into the river beneath and immediately disappeared. Boats vie! instantly put off from the steamlxat-pier, and the rife' dragged near the spot where the deceased had fallen, but the body could not be found. Who the unfortunate deceased was is at present unknown. From his dress he appeared to have been a labouring man or journeyman bricklayer. Teo much praise cannot be given to the fireman, who thus 0 heroically risked his life in endeavouring to save a fellose creature, for had the men on the other side of the buttress of the bridge for one instant relinquished their hold of hio ne must have been pulled by the weight of the suicide into the river along with him. Intelligence has been received from the Civil Coin' missioner of the Seychelles Islands to the effect that there is an a most inexhaustible supply of guano in that region. These island, about thirty iu number, are a group resting' 00 sand and coral in the Indian Ocean, northeast of Mods gasear, between 3 deg. and 5 deg. south latitude, and 5 5 deg. and 56 deg. east longitude, and were formally ceded to England, together with Mauritius, in 1815. No particulars have yet been given regarding the quality or precise locality of the guano which has been discovered, but if it should at all approach the Peruvian in its chemical properties, it May prove of immense importance not only to the agricultura l interests of Great Britain, but indirectly to the promotion also of the prosperity of Natal and Mauritius, as well as to the much-desired extension of commerce with Madagasca r ', Its situation, howev er , near t h e equator and in the m id s t of the ocean (the African continent being distant about 8 0 ° miles), would lead to the supposition that those peetil i° conditions of climate which have operated in favour of the Peruvian guano may be in a great measure wanting, and that hence its nature is inferior. F 110•: aro) Loss of LIFE IN RATCLIFF-HIGLIWAT. — ' Yeste-dav morning at an early hour the premises of Itcr• Joseph Lawson, No. 6, Vine-place, Broad-street, Ratcl:o4 were perceived to be on fire. As soon as the fire was borne; what got under, a room was entered, when it was fount , that Mr. Lawson was burned is a most frightful manner over the whole of his body. A medical gentleman '9l O immediately sent for, who promptly attended ; but during the brief interval that elapsed, the unfortunate sufferer expired. Owing to the exertions of the inhabitants, the fire was confined to that part of the premises in which it begun, but the furniture therein was destroyed, and the lower part of the house severely damaged by water. The unfortunate deceased was in the receipt of an annual pen sion from the Trinity House, and it is stated that he took his quarter's mo n ey the day preceding his melancholy death. He was described as being a very sober man, but invariably smoked a pipe of tobacco of a night i n b e d to re lieve him of the asthma. From the fact of a pipe being found near the bed, there is no doubt but that was the m. of the outbreak. GREAT CENTRAL GAB CONBIIIWERB COMPANT..-' Yesterday the Committee on this bill, to incorporate the Great Central Gas Consumers Company, met for the first time. Mr. Sergeant Wraugham, Q.C., and M r . wil ds ap peared i n support of the Bill; and Mr. Talbot, Q.C., sad Hope against it. Considerable discussion took place se to the locus standi of the city gas companies, and of the Paving Commissioners and merchants and traders petition ing against the Bill. Eventually, on the room being cleared. the Committee decided in favour of the locus standi of the parties. Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, in a speech of considera ble length, then opened the case. recapitulating the principal fbatures of the measure as set forth in the Committee of last session, when the company, he said, was thought to be one that et a facts? not iwended tc b e carr i ed out.

The company would not have been compelled to ex pend n'arty so much as this had it not been for the expen sive Parliamentary contests in which they had been in volved, and they moreover were in a position next month on the present amount of consumption to 5 per cent., and retain a surplus in addition. Mr. Croll, the company's engi• neer, and Mr. Dakin, the chairman of the company, were examined as to the general position of the company's affairs, and in corroboration of the statements by counsel, and the Committee adjourned to this day at 12 o'clock.

" Sir,—Your letter, dated the 29th ult., was onlitffalivered yesterday. Yourseland forty-seven other eleet.ra therein state that you and they have been thrown into able state of suprise and dismay, having been informed ff my intention to bring a meo sal e into the House in farour'of the Roman Catholics, and opposed to that of Lord John Russell.' Upon this information you are pleased to demand the imme diate resignation of my seat. " Now, although I deeply regret the shock that your nerves and religious sensibilities seem to have sustained, yet as I never undertook to make myself responsible tor every rumour that might reach you, you will excpse me, when I inform you, that as the borough of Finsbury con sists of at least fifteen thousand electors, I, Protestant as am, cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty to do the mere bidding of forty-eight. However, I have this consolation to offer you, that as a general election cannot be far distant, when, should my health be sufficiently - re-established to justify me in askinv, a sixth time, for a renewal of that con fidence with which Finsbury has ever honoured me, yourself, and the forry-seven other requisitionists will have the desired opportunity of choosing (as yo u eloquently describe him) that gentleman who fe e l s it his duty to advocate your wishes as true Protestants and sup. porters of a Protestant Constitution.'
