The Premier's remarkable faculty of saying sen tentious nothings with a gravity which almost disarms the suspicion and mocks the experience of those who hear him oftenest and know him best, has not often been more strongly exemplified than in his answer, on Thursday night last, to a question from Mr. MA CAULAY, on the subject of the Right lion. Baronet's intentions w ith regard to the Small Note Circulation of Scotland. That answer was the most elaborate array of many words to conceal half a fraction of one idea that we have ever seen in print. But we are far from undervaluing Sir ROBERT'S ingenuity so much as to imagine that this was an unartificial dis- PlaY• On the contrary, we think it was a very able mode of extricating himself out of the springe which ha d been set to catch him, unawares, at an answer. It sounded, for the first stntencc or so, so like an answer-ab out -to-be-given, that e ven Mr. 111ACAITLAY'S extraordinarypowersandf quick perception may we ll have been Stagge re d , ionic fatiius illusion that d o a r c two momenta, by the ned bef ore hi m , as if i t moments were a reply. T wo of bewilderment another l t d h e e r r m eon Order r • e r o e f enoug h. Th e S pea k er calledon the Day, and the cheat had vanisian,d e could not berecalled. Yet we agree w i t h ' N, ' ir of the money article in the Ti mes , that carefulobeserlation of • might detect, through the st u di e d ambiguity the Premier's language, a foregon e conclusion arrived at touching "the doom" of the small bank -notes of Scotland (and of Ireland). Like Mr. MACAULAY'S, our present business is with the: Scotch circulation o nly. Now we differ, lobo ccelo, from the Contempo. rare we have just referred to, both in our estimate of the value of the existing system on which that cir culation is based, and in the degree of apprehension with which we regard the new experiment about to be ventured upon by Sir ROBERT PEEL. It is really to be regretted, in our opinion, that Sit' —OBERT has no political prochaiit alai, who, in virtue of that rela tion to him, might apply for, and obtain from her MAJESTY, or her MAJESTY'S Cabinet, an effective inhibition, a controlling or restraining power, to withheld him from damage and waste to the fortunes ‘" '4 and interests of the empire:which have been - confided to his keeping. It is to be feared, however, that were Lord MELVILLE, or Sir GEORGE CLERK, or Lord DUNFERMLINE, himself, even, on behalf of themselves and all Scotland, as parties to their suit, to bring such a plea to the foot of the throne, he would be dismissed as not coming before it with clean hands. The moneyed interest of Scotland has weakened and damnified the powerful case it would otherwise have to urge against being drugged by Sir ROBERT PEEL'S nostrum through the fact of its having been, if not a particeps criminis, an apathetic looker-on when the same visitation was inflicted on the currency of this country by his notorious " complement " of the measure of 1819, last year. We assiduously warned the Scottish people that their turn would come next. The English nation has been operated upon, and neither Scotland nor Irelanl, we are told, can now escape the same fate. Thus it is that JUNIUS it justified " what is fact to-day becomes preceden' to-morrow." But our sympathies are still with Scot land in her coming trial ; and we expect her to offer a firm, an unwavering, a "no-compromise," a com bined, cordial, sustained, and, therefore, triumphant opposition to the mischievous meddling of our High Tamworth Currency Doctor. Let the Scotch repre. sentatives take warning by the listlessness, the indo lence, the infatuation, and the apathy of their English colleagues ; show a firm front from the first day the Premier displays his battle (the 14th inst.), and by maintaining it unyielding, resolute, and prompt at all times for action, they may be sure of vanquishing a Minister whose progress has been at all times iden tified with concessions to principles that he has at some former period or other loudly declaimed against. We have, in several former articles, demonstrated the unparalled advance—the steady, unfluctuating improvement—of Scotland, in agricultural and manu facturing production—in the diffusion of competency among the middling—and her demand for industrial labour• for the lower—classes of her community ; in the encouragement she has been hitherto enabled to afford to a system of husbandry, the most enterpris ing, economical, and incessant—altogether, perhaps, the most perfect—to be found in the world—and to the corresponding scale in which the moral conduct and education of her people have been raised. All these important movements have been coincident with, and in a main degree attributable to, that happy and intelligible system of currency which she has now enjoyed for about 150 years. That system has sur vived the shock of two great popular rebellions, many wars, many adverse seasons. It was unmoved by, and almost insensible to, the monetary earthquake of 1825-26, and utterly unscathed by later convulsions, the sad evidences of the fatal empiricism which had been practised here in 1819, and is once more in pesti lent activity in 1844 and 1845. Scotland was permitted to retain her small bank-note circulation, whilst pri• vate and commercial credit in this part of the kingdom was paralyzed for want of such aid. Scotland continued to advance in commercial importance, in political weight, in social happiness, in moral greatness ; for her steps in these noble destinations were never impeded by the obstructive fetters and golden manacles of an unexpar.sive, con tracted, costly, and unadaptable metallic currency. The banking and monetary system of Scotland has kept on in an unbroken march of improvement and importance, extending to industry its fair wages, to trade its fair markets and returns, to capital and pro perty the means of representation and evolution ; to all mercantile dealings, security and confidence. In England the reverse of such a system—a theoretical fallacy forced into practical working by injudicious Acts of Parliament—a gold standard currency, as it is called—has cramped the energies of commerce, con tracted the representation, and taxed, in the most arbitrary manner, the transfer of property and capital, thrown doss n industrial wages below the lowest subsistence scale, lowered the prices of our highly-taxed products to the level of the quasi un taxed products of continental industry, sappi d our commercial credit, largely impaired our manufactur ing superiority, and disorganized private credit to its very foundations. It has accumulated capital in huge masses in a few hands ; its inevitable tendency is to preclude its distribution into the hands of the many. These masses are unproductive, as to any of the ordinary and legitimate branches of trade ; they are all powerful in the faculty of accumulation when embarked in the enormous operations of reckless monopolies,—or unscrupuious gambling in public funds and enterprises, native cr foreign. They are so much of the specific volume of the life-blood of the Commonwealth abstracted from its system, perhaps in fused into others,—never again transmitted, in healthy action and regular distribution, through its own. Under this PEEL system, certain classes, composing the cre ditor as well as the realised capital interest, are infi nitely benefited ; the other classes, comprising the debtor and the industrial interest, are infinitely pre judiced. The annuitant, the fundholder, the mort gagee, being empowered and enabled to receive and pay in gold at a fixed rate or standard of value, purchase to the best advantage—that is, at gold or natural prices. The debtor on an old mortgage, the manufacturer, the artisan, the man who wants to convert property or labour into money, buys this money at the dearest price. The one to discharge his engagements, the other to acquire his subsistence, pays in the first case far more than he ever received on. account of them ; in the second, far more than his reduced wages and his heavy taxation make equitable or even tolerable. Pauperism, therefore, increases throughout the radius of our system ; the plethora of capital enlarges itself at a few isolated spots within it. The extremities de cline and die; the centre preternaturally fattens and corrupts. Domestic trade languishes, domestic in dustry declines from its twin-like connexion with trade. The condition of the one necessarily reacts upon the other. With a revenue of fifty-four millions for the last year, with a surplus, at the close of it, of income over ex penditure of 3,356,0001., with an actual balance in the Exchequer of 6,254,000/. on the 9th of January, 1815, we have scores of thousands of famishing, un employed artizans, with hundreds of thousands of destitute paupers, and millions of pounds of annual poor-rate to pay for their maintenance. This is so under our present currency system, and the evil goes on increasing. It wAs NOT so before Sir ROBERT PEEL was permitted, in 1819, to put upon the statute book his two-sided Bill—a Bill of infinite aggrandise ment to the private capitalist, of incalculable mischief to the national welfare and resources. Let Scotland regard this picture of our gold standard system and its consequences ;—and contemplate, in contrast, that hich exhibits her own happy and instructive history under the system common to both countries, from 1797 to 1819. If she considers the gigantic efforts we made under the latter, and the brilliant triumphs which rewarded our confidence in it with the most signal saccess and opulence ever recorded in history, and if she will then look at our social declension and misery since 1822, she will assuredly and firmly resist, and cast from her the fatal millstone which the Premier is obviously bent upon tying round her neck. It is somewhat curious to observe in how different a manner a French Ministry and an English Premier regard the important business of providing, on the coasts of the country whose affairs they respectively preside over, harbours of refuge. A morning Con temporary very well observed, a day or two ago, on this subject (to which it will he in the recollection of our readers we have our.selves repeatedly entreated the grave attention of the public), that " The French Chambers have been discussing the pro priety of preparing fortified breakwaters to shelter armed steamers upon that portion of their coast opposite our shores, and have voted money for their erection; whiie English Commissioners have recommended the construction of harbours of refuge in our Channel, wherein our mercantile marine may find protection from the storm in peace, and fro-n hostile cruisers in war. Each nation is acting wisely in its generation, for the most effectual means to prevent war consist in pre parations for it." s trutting these harbours of refuge at various parts of our extended coast-line, without delay. His Grace demonstrated the very imminent jeopardy to which, in the defect of such defences, the whole trade of this metropolis and port, homeward or outward bound, must always be subject in the estuary of the Thames, in the event of hostilities with a Continental power. About the m•►nth of August last, if we remember rightly, his Grace again bore testimony to the paramount importance of improving the port of Dover to a very considerable extent, and converting it into a harbour of refuge for the accommodation •trd rendezvous of our steam navy, as well as of our commercial marine. The report of the last Com mission, signed by professional authorities of such minence as Admiral Sir BYAM MARTIN, G.C.8.; I.dmiral DUNDAS j Mr. COLQUIIOUN, Captain WASH :NGTON ; the very celebrated Engineer, Mr. J. tVaLKEn, &c., not only amply confirmed the judg nent and testimony of the Duke, but specified the corks necessary to be executed, the site and the scale won which they should be constructed, and the pro• )ab:e amount at which their cost might be estimated. But Sir ROBERT PEEL, who has not hesitated to nffict upon the country the odious Income-tax, in irder to maintain that dashing " surplus of Revenue," which all his hopes of political canonization now :epose, is little inclined —it seems— to spare 2,500,000/. ''or a department of the pu'Jlic service from which he •an secure so small an addition to the sum of his Parliamentary influence, as the extension, strengthen ing, deepening, and improvement of Dover Harbour. He could not conceal his irritation at being questioned by the Member for Dover on so distasteful a subject. Re—innocent man !—after his little apprenticeship in official and public business of thirty years,—he " really did not know by what means *he public got access to documents which were not, for a time at !east, intended to be circulated." Between the two extremes of a galvanic telegraph and the fast carts of the London Parcels Delivery Company, Sir ROBERT cannot even figure to himself ;he possibility of a swift process of communication between the penetralia of Downing-street, and the sanctum sanctorwn of a London newspaper-office. Re declared, with a grave face, that " He had not *he slightest idea through what channel these docu ments were obtained, but somehow or other the news oapers continually managed to get hold of them." — (A laugh.) He did not venture to say he had never heard of such things being done in his time, but " He could only regret that a document which had been confidentially prepared for the Government alone should have been published to the world." With all respect for Sir ROBERT, this species of red-tape prudery is very unworthy of him. The French Government do not appear so nervously sensitive on such subjects. They know, very well, that such affairs cannot be gone into, now-a-days, without a certain peril of publicity, however much publicity, under many conditions of circumstances, may be to be deprecated. But for an English Prime Minister, in 1845, to talk as if he " really " expected that a document which must have been to some extent with in the cognisance of many Members of Parliament, not Members of the Government, could be withheld for any length of time from the knowledge of the pub lic,—of that constituency which now exercises so much vigilance over, and requires so much vigilance from, its representatives—is foolish affectation. But now let us see how the Minister of the greatest nation of Europe, the most extensive maritime power in the world, can balance, hesitate, and finally sit down " promising nothing—doing nothing—hoping no thing,"—when the amount of the cost is set against the construction of public works pronounced by the highest military, naval, and civil authorities in the -mpire to be indispensable to our preservation, our in dependence, our honour, our existence. In the first place, the report, is " really " found to be worthy of every consideration. But then—nothing has been done, nor seems likely to be done, in consequence of it. "In answer to the Hon. Gentleman's question, he could assure him that the report had occupied the most serious attention of her Majesty's Ministers. To the opinions of the wry distinguished officers who had formed that Commission great weight would naturally be attached." We should hardly think Mr. RICE, or his Dover friends, will attach much value to so very pccific an undertaking as this :—" And the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. RICE) might depend upon it, that a subject of such vast national importance should not fail to receive the most anxious consideration upon the part of her Majesty's Government." For what is Sir ROBERT'S own view of the probabilities that any practical result will follow ? Just the most unfavourable one that can be imagined. The notion of an expenditure that will knock down his financial surplus, despite of the income-tax screw for raiing it to the highest attainable pitch, drives him into ecsta cies of economical alarms, that are as pathetic as if they came from WINIFRED JENKrNs. "At the same time, he (Sir R. PEEL) felt that the cost of carrying out their recommendations would be very great in deed. Take, for instance, the case of Dover alone, there would be a sum required of not less than 2,500,000/." So, again : " In measures of such vast importance, and involving such a very large outlay of money, the greatest conside ration was necessary on the part of the Executive. The Commissioners had divided their recommendations into classes, in which they stated that the carrying out of their suggestions as to Dover stood first, Portland second, Seaford third. They then gave a general esti mate of expense, which, however, could not be entirely relied upon, and which, as he had before stated, would require for Dover alone no less a sum than 2,500,0001. The experience of the expense already incurred at Holy head would cause him (Sir R. Peel) to be sure of his expenses before he entered upon any important works of the kind ; but inquiries were still being pursued." Now, let it be observed, in all this, not a word to impugn the vital, national, urgent, paramount ne• cessity for those new defences and this harbour of re fuge at Dover. Only the expense of 2,500,000/. a Prime Minister cannot get over that. He feels it is incumbent upon him to experience a sort of choking at the bare idea. " The experience derived from the cost already incurred at Holyhead is a warning to him." He will not, off-hand, engage in any more costly public works. And so he throws overboard, naming no day for taking them in again —holding out no hope of ever doing anything for them at all —Dover, Seaford, Portland, in succession. And what then ? Why, with an inconsistency, a violation of prii.ciples and pledges announced but the moment before—absolutely startling even in Sir ROBERT PEEL —he coolly announces, as to that " Holyhead," the charges already paid for which have taught him the frugal severity he has been so didactic upon when other ports were in question.—" Now, with respect to one of the ports mentioned by the Commissioners— he meant llolyhead—the recommendations made by them would be at once carried into efect, for the im portance of the intercourse between Ireland and this country required that this should be the case.—(Hear, hear.) But upon the other recommendations of the report, Government had not yet come to any decision." The mot de l'enigme is too evident here, and the mystery of Sir ROBERT'S non sequitur is solved at a glance. "Ireland has been always my greatest difficulty," said he, on a memorable occasion, a long time ago. So she is still. Sir ROBERT cannot open the Exchequer to make Dover what it ought to be for the salvation of this country, in the event of hos tilities with France, which may break out at any moment ; but he will do so at once to curry favour with his Irish supporters and the Irish people at large. No portion of the English press has more consistently or ardently vindicated the just claims and rights of the Irish people than our own journal; but we pro test against postponing, sine die, the national works essential at Dover, to the further improvement of Holyhead, at a vast expense, in addition to the im moderate sums already devoted to it, and on the Minister's single plea of the superior importance of still further facilitating the communication between England and Ireland. Is it the simple fact that he wishes to propitiate Irish support on the one hand, and prefers the Holyhead works because they will so mu c h less diminish his surplus than the Dover works, on the other ? In our opinion he has seldom more egre giously or palpably committed himself; and we trust and hope that Parliament will insist on the recom mendations of the Committee's Report in favour of Dover being fully, promptly, and honestly carried into effect. Sir ROBERT PEEL, if we may judge of his in tentions on the subject from a speech which he de livered on 'Wednesday evening, has not yet made up his mind on any one point enforced in the report of his own Commissioners. The French Chambers, we see, have already voted the money for the new break waters and forts that are called for by similar exigencies on their part, to those on our's which gave rise to the Commission, of whose labours we lately published the very valuable results. So long ago as the spring or summer of 1843, the Duke of 'IrELLINGTON had impressed upon a Parliamentary Committee, in his emphatic way, the very great urgency of erecting block houses and other fortified posts, more particularly on our southern shores, and of con- Madrid journals of the Ist inst. have been received. The return of CASTELLO-T-AYENSA, the Spanish en voy at Rome, had created some surprise in the capi tal, as it was genera ll y b elieved he had failed in his mission to procure the POPE'S acknowledgment of tr , ,, 1'• • lb, r Nie:r ._ T", fit ir+ r. AF, v n A. 4 ` _ll% • Y. THE SL N, LONDON. MON - - - Queen ISABELLA. This, it appears, is to a certain extent true, as the Court of Rome, before the recog ❑ition, demands that all the unsold Church lands shall be restored to the clergy. The envoy not having powers to that extent, has returned for instructions, and will again proceed to Rime in a fortnight. CANTER°, formerly Minis:er of Finance, had returned to Madrid. On the Ist inst. the Three per Cent 3. closed at 33 for cash, and 33i for GO days; the Five per Cents. at 24 at 60 days, and the Coupons at 26 for the 28th of March. The Paris papers are occupied with some curious discussions and results in the Chamber of Deputies, and with remarks on the debates in the English Par liament on the QUEEN'S Speech. The old saying, "They manage affairs differently in France" was never better, nor more ludicrously illustrated than on a motion brought forward in the Chamber of De puties on the 6th. M. LHERBETTE introduced a etill relative to the appointment of public functionaries, the object of which is thus stated in the first clause— that "no person should be admitted into a Govern• ment situation unless he had proved his fitness to fill it by a special or public examination, a diploma in one of the faculties, or a contours, the form of exa mination being decided by royal ordinance.'' After a brief discussion this clause was adopted by a large majority, and the four remain ing clauses received equal support, yet when the question was put, that the Bill be adopted, and the sense of the House was taken by ballot, the majority was converted into a minority— there being for the Bill, 157, and against, 156 ; ma • jority against it, 1. The Bill consequently was lost. The result excited some sensation in the Chamber next day. M. ST. PRIEST brought forward his mo tion for the reduction of postage on letters, and the result was equally remarkable. Ile proposed to fix, from January 1, 1846, a uniform tax of six sous for all letters carried more than forty kilometres (about twenty-five English miles), and four sous for all shorter distances. M. MoNIER DE LA SIZERANNE proposed as an amendment that the postage of all letters act weighing more than a quarter of an ounce, for whatever distance, should be only four sous. After a discussion, in which this amendment was strongly opposed by the Minister of Finance, the Chamber adopted it by a majority of one, the numbers being 130 to 129. On Saturday the discussion was resumed, and the two remaining clauses were adopted, but when the whole Bill was tested by the ballot, it was also rejected, the numbers for it being 170, and against 170, and as an absolute majority of 171 was required, the President announced that the Bill was lost. On the same day Colonel DE BRICQUEVILLE moved that the remains of General BERTRAND be laid near those of NAPOLEON, in the Hotel des Invalides. The mo tion was unanimously agreed to, with the addition that those of Duaoc should be equally honoured. We find little of interest in the remarks of the lepers on the debates in Parliament, though the contrast between those of the Ministerial and Opposition jour nals is curious. The Journal des Debats says:—" It is with as much astonishment as regret that we see a man so enlightened and so high-minded as Lord J. RUSSELL employing his talents and influence in de preciating the work of peace so happily accomplished by the two Governments. It has been generally re marked that his speech was steepsd in bitterness to a degree altogether unusual with him. The leader of the Opposition did not, it is true, condemn the con clusion of the Otaheite affe!r, and joined with the rest of the world in rejoicing at the preservation of peace, but he severely criticised the manner in which the negotiations were conducted, and the appointment of Commissioners for revising the treaties on the right of search. Sir R. PEEL gave a most complete answer to this attack; he called upon Lord J. RUSSELL to make specific motions on which the House might categorically declare its sentiments on both questions. The papers relating to the right of search were to be laid before the House on Wednesday, and therefore it is probable that a day will be fixed for discussing this question. We cannot, naturally, express any surprise at the language of Lord PALMERSTON. All that the Oppo sition here has urged against M. GuizoT was even more acrimoniously advanced by him against Lord Aberdeen. his Lordship attempted to prove that England had been outraged and humiliated, as M. BILLAULT and others have endeavoured to establish that France has been outraged and humiliated—and with just h doiiotsv as ishev a e rau nto . the success ourselves of the ac cusa ti ons l a i d b y Lord PAL MERSTON against e same the British W Government,e ments in favour of the val ue o f t h e results obtained by the French Government. Neither of the two Cabinets wishes to triumph over the other. Both have accomplished in concert an honourable task ; both have made secondary considerations subordinate to the great and permanent interests of the general peace and civilization ; and each of the simultaneous attacks, of which both have been objects, reciprocally destroys the other." The Constilutionnel, on the other hand, pays the Opposition a high compliment. "The speakers," it says, " and principally those of the Whig Opposition , express themselves in terms most hono u r a bl e t o th e French nation, and the political parties into which our Chambers are divided. We have not found in one of their speeches any of those stale calumnies that used to be cast upon the pretended war party. Henceforth in England, as well as in France, the mal-address and weaknesses of M. GUIZOT may be condemned, without driving the two countries into a war with each other. The high-toned speech with which M. TIIIERS opened in our Chamber the debate on the Address, has exercised a happy influence on both sides of the Channel . ; he enli g ht ene d t h e statesmen, and silenced the declaimers." not entrusted with the franchise for their own benefit or the benefit of their landlords or employers, but for the good of the whole community. _ Having just seen a list of so many electors pledged to my Honourable Friend and opponent, and being convinced that it would require a larger sum of money to contest the Divi sion than a candidate shauld be called on to expend at any time, and particularly towards the close of a Parliaaicir., T at once withdraw fr,m the contest, retitimin; my vv . trin,!A thanks to the gentlemen and yeomen who have so zealauki interested themselves in our common cause, and remaining ever, Gentlemen, your faithful friend, W. L. SALLISBITRY TRELAWNY. Harewood, Saturday, Feb. 8, 1845. NATIONAL DEBT.--Accounts have just been issued from the National Debt• office, showing the results of operations undertaken from 1822 to 1844, for re ducing the charge on the debt, and the terms on which the reduction has been made. The total an nual interest saved during that period amounts to 3,051,8001. Also, accounts of thuunredeemed public debt, from 1817 to 1844, and the amount of un funded debt in Exchequer -bills, from which it appears that in 1817 the capital of the unredeemed Funded Debt was 796,200,191/., and the enntutl charge 29,842,014/ ; while in 1844 the former was 772,169,0921., and the latter 28,516,882/. The amount of capital in Exchequer•hills in 1817 was 44,650,3001., and the interest 2,173,9271., while in 1844 they were respectively 18,407,300/., and 594,0511. We have this week to record the death of Mr. Andrew Franklin, of Tavistock-street, Covent-garden, in his 90th year.. Near seventy years since Mr. Franklin com menced his literary labours in connexion with the Morn ing Post newspaper. and subsequently joined the Morning Advertiser, where he continued till old age compelled him, a few years since, to relinquish his editorial duties and retire into private life, taking with him the respect and esteem of all who had the pleasure of his acquaint ance. FALL OF Show.—The weather within the last few days has been excessively cold. For several nights the thermometer has been many degrees below freezin?, and on Sunday morning it had fallen to 21. In the course of last night there was a fall of snow which covered the ground for several inches in depth. The temperature is now more mild, but it still snows heavily, with an ap pearance of continuance. THIS DAY'S NEWS. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR sat in Lincoln's Inn• hall to-day, and took motions, it being the first seal after Hilary Term. This was the first day of his Lordship's sittings since the last day of term. 1 7 10GARTII'S PICTURE OF PAUL BEFORE FESTUS. This invaluable painting, by that great master Hogarth, and which has adorned Lincoln's Inn-hall for so many years, has been removed from its long resting-.place over the judg ment-seat, in order to be placed up in the New Hall now in the course of erection, and very near its completion. The Lord Chancellor took his seat shortly after eleven o'clock. LN THE CASE OF FRANK, A LUNATIC. This case stood on the paper to-day to be spoke to in the minutes. The case came before the Court sometime since upon petition, praying that a certain sum that had been paid might be reimbursed, in order to satisfy a solicitor's bill. On the case coming on, the Court pronounced its order, but the parties not agreeing as to the minutes of the order, it stood on the paper to be spoke to to-day. After some short discussion, the Court finally settled the decree. HILLS v. CROLE. Mr. WAKEFIELD replied to-day in this part-heard appeal motion, and The LORD CILINCELLOR postponed his judgment. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(T-iIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco after Term.) THE BARON DE BODE V. THE QUEEN. The arguments in this case were resumed this morning by Mr. Kelly, who, on the part of the Crown, contended that there was not a single instance to be found in which a petition of right was brought against the Crown for a pecuniary de mand—that such a form of proceeding could only be had re course to in the case of land or land and chattels, and that, !yen supposing a petition of riglist wee the proper remedy, it could not be brought for unliquidated damages. There was no probability of the case being brought to a conclusion to-day. EXCHEQUER.--(THIS DAY.) (Before the Lord CHIEIe BARON and a Special Jury.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. REILLY. This was an information filed by the Attorney-General to recover penalties alleged to have been incurred by removing goods on which the duty had not been paid at the Custom house, and by fraudulently collusion for that purpose with the importer and the servants of the wharfinger. Theinfor mation contained four counts. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Jervis. and Mr Wilde appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Humfrey for the defendant. It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution that the defendant, being a carman, was in the habit of carting goods for Messrs. Cordingley and Co , importers of silks and French goods, in Paternoster-x.(lv. When Messrs. Cordingley intended their goods to _pay duty, they were in the habit of marking them U C, on other occasions they marked them AK. In October, 1840, the defendant brought a bill of lading to a persen named Goold, an agent for him, to pass the sight entry for some goods im ported in the name of Madame Metzler, by the City of Bou logne steamer, from Boulogne. Mr.Goold not being a licensed agent, employed a Mr. Arnott to do it for him, and through these parties the goods were passed. The defendant was seen to be interfere in the transaction through all its stages, in the sight en:ry, the perfect entry, the landing, and the payment of the duty. The main feature of the fraud in question was, that a large cane, occupying 26 feet, and containing two cases, having been landed, the larger one was set aside and the smaller one only brought forward to be charged with duty. The single penalty for which the Crown went was 772/. 16s. The case was proceeding when we went to press. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prins.) Three special jury cases, and one common jury case of no importance, were disposed of in little more than an hour, and the Court rose at half•past eleven o'clock. The France thus animadverts on the inconsistency exhibited by the Chamber of Deputies on two im portant propositions : " We proceed from astonishment to astonish men t, an d th e representa ti ve go vernment is a see-saw whi c h an a t om causes to incline n ow to one side, and again to the other. The day before yesterday, the proposition relative to func tionaries was rejected by a majority of one ; and, y es t er d ay , post-office reform, contained in an amendment of M. Monier de la Sizeranne, was adopted by a majority of one. Perhaps to-day another ballot will abolish that of yes terday. We are in the reign of the half minus one , and this one, which gives the law, can at its pleasure overturn Ministries, and adopt or reject propositions. There may be in the Chamber thus divided, a man, an unknown, as powerful as Bonaparte and the Com mittee of public safety. The Chamber cannot any longer, after these two days, proceed seriously. Votes and ballots are nothing more than a mystification. What. ought to be the value of those reforms adopted or rejected by a ma jority of one ? Propositions are incomplete, ill-combined, and they prove abortive ; the Chamber is floating, unde cided, and weary, before it has fought. Is it the fault of the Chamber ? Is it the fault of the propositions ? How is this hesitating, irresolute position to be got out of ? By a dissolution of the Chamber, or a Ministerial crisis. The first means appears to us alone to possess any efficacy." CRIMINAL COURT.-THIS DAY.) OLD COUR7. PERJURY.—Williana A. Kennett, a young man of gentle manly appearance, was indicted for perjury. Mr. Doane was for the prosecution; Mr. Clarkson, with Mr. Bodkin, appeared fur the defence. The evidence in the case showed that the defendant's bro ther and another person were connected with a Loan Society in St. Pancras, to which one James Potter acted in the ca pacity of secretary. On the 30th of February last year, a person named Watts applied for a loan of 304 and produced as security two men, Spriggins and Adams. The propietors of the Society objected to the security produced, and a third name, White, was mentioned. The two first-named securities, and the principal, Watts, signed that night, and the secretary being incapable, either from ab sence or intoxication, of witnessing the signature, the de fendant signed the bill. On the succeeding day White signed, and the money was handed over to Watts. The re payments to this society not having been kept up, an action was brought in the Sheriff's Court, and the defendant having there sworn that he had seen Watts sign his name, it was alleged that in taking this oath he had been guilty of perjury. The jury were ably addressed by Mr. Clarkson, who called a number of witnesses, and they gave the defendant a first rate character. One witness, White, the third security, was called on the part of the prosecution, to prove that the name of Watts was not upon the bill when his (White's) was appended. The witness on his cross-examination, however, contradicted him self in every important particular. Mr. CLARKSON (to the jury)—Can you credit this witness; and yet it is upon such evidence that it is sought to ruin the character of the young man standing before you. The Learned Counsel made some further observations having reference to the last witness, when he, in a state of great ex citement, again re-entered the witness-box. Witness—What is that you say, Sir? lamto be believed on my oath—believed before you, Sir. Mr. CLAnksox continued, though frequently interrupted, to address the jury, but his remarks were of so bitingly sarcastic a character, that the wrath of the unfortunate listener in the box fairly exploded, by his giving the Learned Counsel the lie direct. The RECORDER severely reprimanded him, and said, that in the event of such another indiscretion, he should be com mitted to prison. The Recorder then summed up, and The jury at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and said that Mr. Kennett's character was wholly unimpeached. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) This being the first seal aftet Hilary Term, his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took motions to day, none of which possessed any points of interest to the public.

We regret this; but in the present state of parties, what honest Liberal will spend money for a seat in the House of Commons? _ Gentlemen,—My - ------ - struggle through a long life has been to obtain for the pe o pl e a f ree, f u ll, a nd fair representation in the Commons House.

(Before Mr. COMMISSIONER BULLOCK and Mr. ALDERMAN COPELAND ). William Stannard, aged 19, was indicted for unlawfully and carnally knowing Elizabeth Appleton, a child under twelve years of age. A second count charged him with a common assault. The prisoner had pleaded that he was not guilty. _ . The facts of the case disclosed an amount of profligacy rare:y heard in a court of justice. The brother of the child, the child herself, and the prisoner, all slept, and used in common one room in a street in Seven Dials. The child slept in the same bed with the prisoner and her brother, by his (the brother's) direction. She swore that the prisoner had twice committed the offence charged against him, but admitted, on being questioned by the prisoner, :that a man some time before: bad taken her into a cart, and committed a like offence. The disclosure of these facts excited much disgust and astonish ment amongst all present. After much deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of— Not Guilty. Thomas Dunlop, a respectably-dressed young man, was indicted for obtaining a quarter of a dozen of shirts, value 95., by means of false representation, from Messrs. Porson and Co., of St. Paul's-churchyard. There not being sufficient evidence to substantiate the charge, and an excellent character being given to the pri soner, the jury Acquitted him. BOW-STREET.—(TIIIS DAY.) Henry Thompson, was charged by Alexander Crow, a licensed waterman, at the cab-stand opposite the Lyceum Theatre, Strand, with officiating without a license on Satur day evening, at the box entrance of the above theatre, to the Injury of himself and the other regular watermen on the stand. The defendant was seen to open several cab doors during the evenin I, and to receive money, and though warned of the illegality of his conduct he still persisted. At last he was given into custody by the complainant, in order if possi ble to put an end to the practice, as more than a dozen others were in the habit nightly of doing the same thing. Mr. HALL said that the defendant had rendered himself liable to a penalty of 5/., or two months' imprisonment with hard labour. He would, however, as this was the first of fence, mitigate the fine, with the intimation that if the offence was repeated the full penalty would be enforced, as it was necessary to protect the regular licensed watermen, else no respectable party would be got to officiate in that capa city. The defendant was fined 205., or fifteen days' im prisonment. Patrick Crawley, a ferocious looking Irishman was placed in the dock charged with committing a gross assault upon a young man named Vincent, and his mother, an aged woman, of nearly 70 years, as they were walking up Portugal-street, during yesterday afternoon (Sunday). The defendant, it appears, was beastly drunk, and seized both complainants with his two arms, something in the style in which the great American bear is represented to hug his prey. The young man of course resisted his embraces, when the de fendant resorted to blows, struck him over the face with his fist, then threw the old woman on the ground, and kicked her. She was very much bruised. The priz-ocr in def:rwp 4 -,3 had N. , 01 t ttAnt +.:(rf Szt u e ~c't to break the pledge. In (;ousyquence he became so drunk that he did not know what he was doing„ anti had no recol lection of committing the assault for W11K9,4,14 stood charged. —He was fined 405., or twenty-one days' invprlsonment. CLERKENWELI4.—(TIIis:- DAY.) One of those impostors that throng the streets. seekilg alms by every mode of supplication, was brought before the Magistrate, charged with begging—his name is Farad!. Police-constable 172 N, deposed that the fellow being drunk on Saturday evening, went about High-street, stop ping everybody he met, and seeking alms. One gentleman he asked for a penny, and when refused asked him if he would " stand a pint of beer ?" The gentleman refused, and the prisoner then went into several shops, not craving, but demanding money. One shopkeeper, Mr. Prentice, refused to give him army money, and the prisoner immediately asked hint if he would have some money from hint. The constable swore that several people told hint that many tradesmen had been much alarmed by him. ..... The prisoner told a rambling story about misfortunes on a voyage from Liverpool, which had about the same semblance to truth as that of Sinbad, the sailor. He said his wife was in the neighbourhood, and Mr. GaEnswoon remanded him, that the veracity of his statement might be inquired into. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS CORN-EXCIIAN GE-MONDAY. The past week's arrivals of English Wheat have been con siderably less than this day se'nnight. Of most other kinds of Grain the receipts were by no means larger. Fresh :up only a limited quantity of Wheat of home produce was re ceived from Essex, Kent, and Cambridgeshire, yet the stands were on the whole partly supplied wish samples. Fine qualities of both red and white commanded a steady sale, at prices - fully equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight, while in most other kinds a fair amount of business was doing, at late rates. The show of free Foreign Wheat was small, but generally speaking holders were firm. A few sales took place in Barley under locks, but all other bonded Grain was a mere drug. The show of Barley was, on the whole, extensive, yet there was an improved inquiry for that article, the quotations of which were supported in every instance. Notwithstanding the returns show a large arrival of Malt, the supply here to-day was by no means extensive. The best season• made parcels were in fair request at full prices, but in other kinds comparatively little was doing. The supply of Oats was only moderate ; most kinds sold steadily at fully last week's currencies. Beans, Peas, and Flour rather inactive, but not cheaper. The same may be said of most kinds of seeds.

"" Since this' day se'nnight another large importation o. foreign stock has taken place, it having consisted of 165 Beasts and 205 Sheep, into London, together with 50 Oxen and Cows and 90 Sheep at Hull, all from Holland, forming a total import of not less than 510 head. Our readers will per ceive that this is the largest arrival that has been reported during any week since the new Tariff has been in operation, and completely justifies the observations which we offered under this head on Monday last. As respects the quality of the Beasts, there was nothing calling for particular observa tion, though there were some really valuable ani mals amongst them ; but in the Sheep there was a decided.iwrprovement. The show of foreign stock here this morning amounted to 70 Beasts, and 130 Sheep. The former sold at from 12/. to 18/. ; the latter, 30s to 42s per head. With Beasts from our own districts we were tolerably well supplied. The Beef trade, arising in a great measure from the dead markets being heavily supplied with country meat, was in a very sluggish state, and last week's quotations were with difficultysupported. However the finest. Scots found buyers at from 3s 10a to 4s per 8 lbs., yet a clearance was not effected. The bullock droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire were composed of 1,400 . Scots and homebreds ; while, from the northern grazing districts we received 250 short- horns ; from the western and midland districts, 600 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; fr om o th er parts of England, 500 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 200 homebred and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were on the increase. Prime old Downs with difficulty maintained their last week's prices; and all other breeds were 20 per 81bs lower, with a heavy demand. Calves were in limited supply, and steady inquiry, at late rates. Pigs were in request, and prices were again supported. There were on sale about 1,500 shorn Sheep, and 120 Lambs. 24s to 29s • .... 2541 32s ..... 21s —s •• . 20s .—s 5.1‘j.04 . N c,),rviAtl6l4.k.:l IA 14 P. % f t S CITY, QUARTER TO TIIREE.

There is no new feature in this market. The demand con• tinues good, as is manifest by the deliveries—these are 4,000 casks more since the Ist of January, compared with the cor responding period last year. The market being cleared of the New South Wales Tallow, and nothing pressing except some inferior descriptions of Russia and South America, our prices are well supported.
