The fault rests en tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is • still further aggravated by an extra charge of a halfpenny (the Poet *rice fee) being made for no supplying the latest or Third Edition. . This Edition contains the Latest Ness: Parliamentary Debates up to a Quarter to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together with the Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Oficial Prices of Shares in Railways, &c. ec.—The Betting at Tattersall's on Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds — The Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the close—and all other ' news arriving in London after three o'clock in the afternoon, when the Second or Evening Edition goes to press.

Frn those places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night, the "MORNING SUN," containing ALL the Debates, &c. dec., will answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly.

The Earl of ELLENBOROMII expressed his obligation to the Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord BROIMHABL The matter dropped and the Bill passed through Committee. The Property-tax Bill was read a second time, on the understanding that a discussion should take place on the third reading. The House of Commons met at Twelve. The amended report on the Railway Clauses Con solidation Bill was brought up. On the 17th clause, giving certain powers to the Admiralty to pull down railway works that obstructed the navigation or defence of the coast, Mr. Hewn moved, as an amendment, that the Admi ralty should go before the Parliamentary Committee of Merits. On a division, however, the clause was rejected, the numbers being—For the Amendment, 4 ; Against it, 37 ;—Majority against it, 33. The remainder of the clauses were agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time on Wednesday, at twelve. The report on the Land Clauses Consolidation Bill was agreed to. The Land Clauses Consolidation (Scotland) Bill passed through Committee, and the House adjourned to Five o'clock. _ _ _ The Companies Clauses Consolidation Bill passed hrough Committee, and their Lordships adjourned. On the re-assembling of the House, the Jewish Relief Bill was, on the motion of Sir R PEEL, read a first time, and the second reading was axed for the 7th of April Lord ASHLEY postponed the second reading of his Bill relating to labour in calico print-works until the 2d of April. The second reading of the Law of Settlement Amend ment Act was postponed to th• 14th of April. The House of Lords met at Five o'Clock. The Consolidated Fund Bill was read a third time and passed. The Earl of RADNOR introduced a Bill to amend the Law of Bastardy. Sir R. PEEL announced that the two first measures relating to Ireland which he should bring forward were those relating to the College of Maynooth and to Acade mical Education. In answer to Mr. HASTIE, Sir B. PEEL stated that the Government intended to renew the Act for grinding corn in bond. Mr. WA LEY gave notice of a motion on the subject of opening Mr. DUNCOMBE'S letters for the first supply day after Easter. On the motion that the Speaker do leave the Chair to go into Committee on the Customs' Bill, Mr. W. MILES moved the following resolution as an amendment—" That in the application of surplus revenue towards relieving the burthens of the country, by reduc tion or remission of taxation, due regard should be had to the necessity of affording relief to the agricultural in terest." The motion having been seconded by Lord MARCH, Sir JAMES GRAHAM addressed the House at considerable length, and concluded by declaring his intention to op pose the motion. Mr. NEWDIGATE, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. ESCOTT, Lord WORSLEY, Mr. D'IsRAELT, and several other Honourable Members then addressed the House, and were followed by Sir ROBERT PEEL. The House then divided, and the motion of Mr. MILES was re jected by a majority of 136. The House then went into Committee on the Customs Duties Act, and after several items had been agreed to, the House adjourned at a Quarter-past Two o'clock. tion of M. MURET DR BORT, that they will be signally defeated. Theßureaux had elected a Committee to con sider and report on the Bill, and of the nine Members chosen, only one M. DE TRACY was opposed to it. All the rest were in favour of immediate conversion. The Deputies appointed to form the Committee are MM. PERIER (Ain), BENOIST, AGUES, FOULD, LESTIBOUDOIS, BAUDE, RINCAU, RIHOUET, and DE TRACY. Several Mem bers, though formerly opposed to the measure,had come for war Ito support it. M. DELASSERT, one of that class said the question must be settled one way or the other; he thought the adoption of the proposition of M. Muasr DE BORT would be desirable as regarded the country, the Legislature, and even the holders of stock them selves : and he considered the present as fa vourable an opportunity of carrying the mea• sure as any other. M. MORNY was against the principle of conversion, but if it was to be done at all, the sooner the better. The compromise had been made between the Conservatives and the Opposition on the Bill relative to voting in arrondissements, and twenty-five francs of direct taxes, in place of fifty, as ori ginally proposed, had been fixed as the amount necessary to give a vote. The Bureaux were also engaged in examin ing M. LEDRU ROLLIN'S proposition to abolish the pro perty qualification necessary to hold a seat in the Chamber, and to allow a daily stipend to each De puty. It was energitically opposed in all the bureaux, and eventually rejected, eight bureaux being against it, and only one in its favour. A Committee had been appointed to consider and report on the Bill brought in by M. REMUSAT, relative to public function aries sitting in the Chamber. Five of the Members are in its favour, and four against it. A motion was also made by M. DE MONTLAVILLE for the total abolition of the duty on newspapers, and, after some discussion, referred to the Committee. That Committee had proposed to reduce the present duty to 4 centimes per sheet, for all journals and pe riodical publications appearing in the departments of the Seine, the Seine-et-Marne, the Seine-et-Oise, and all arrondissements containing a town of 50,000 souls ; and to 3 centimes for all journals published elsewhere. This proposition is generally opposed by the Paris journals. England is called a free country. Liberal institutions have been established for centuries, the law protects the poor as well as the rich, a man's house is his castle, justice is even-handed, the Habeas Corpus Act secures all against imprisonment without trial ; these and twenty other set phrases are constantly in the mouths of senators and politicians, while in reality there is not a country in the world where the eyes of justice are so open, where the law-makers are so favoured and the poor are so utterly destitute of protection. A certain class of senators every session seem to exult and riot in discovering some new scheme for improving public morality, while their only object, if these contemptible beings have any object at all, is to oppress the poor and the unrepresented. The rage this session is to shut up all public-houses on Sunday. Great numbers of petitions have already been presented to this effect, they are still pouring is, and come in such numbers, and are presented by Members with such eager zeal, that a stranger would suppose that drinking beer on a Sunday is the most heinous crime. But even this remedy is not enough. Sunday travelling by steam is also to be put down ; and Mr. PLussrrau, on whose shoulders the mantle of Sir ANDREW AGNEW has fallen, is exerting himself to rival and even outstrip that Pha risaical and, happily, defunct legislator, in making in roads upon the established customs, the innocent amuse ments, and the only recreations of the poor. No opposi tion is made to to these wicked schemes. They evidently come from high quarters—from the country clergy, the squires, the justices of peace, and the selfish landlords, who would not only monopolise wealth, but happiness aad comfort. If a labouring man is not allowed to take refreshment on a Sunday—if he is not to visit his friends, to spend the only day he has to him self in rational employment and amusement, what is he to do Y Most of his class are without education, thanks to our wealthy Church ! They have little enjoyment in books, even if they can read ; they may go to Church, hear a sermon from a Puseyite clergyman in a surplice, listen to the prayer for the Church militant, and see money collected while the offertory is recited, but what . is to become of them afterwards ? Would it not be better to chain them up at once, like wild beests, than curtail—nay, destroy—every source of harmless gra tification, and render the Loan's day the moat mi serable day even of their painful week of labour ? The Home Secretary, who is supposed to watch over the morals of the community, has set his face against this tyrannical interference, and some two years ago said he saw no harm in taking cakes and ale at a road-side inn on a Sunday forenoon ; but this session he is silent, while these attempts are made to bring the lower classes down to the very depths of degradation. The party, too, he has to contend with are indefatigable—they are also unscrupulous—they manufacture petitions, clothe their wicked policy in the garb of religion, and by per severance may accomplish their object. Forgetting the Divine doctrines of the Book which they constantly hold up as the guide of their conduct, they neglect the education of the poor, and trust only to punishments, to coercive acts, to imprisonment, and death. Never was any class of beings so cruelly treated as the poor of England, by men who call themselves their re presentatives ; and no argument could be brought forward by the Chartists, so strong and so irrefragable, as this constant meddling with the rational amuse ments of the people, who have none to take their part. Sir ANDREW AGNEW however has been defeated—nay, disowned by his religious countrymen—the Member for Kent and his bigoted colleagues may try to follow is his footsteps, but if there is any spirit left in Englishmen, or any virtuous spirit in the English press, they also shall meet with the same just retribution.

The Duke of BUCCLEUCH moved the appointment of a Select Committee to consider the state of the Parochial Schoolmasters of Scotland, which was agreed to. In answer to a question of the Earl of Illwro, on the subject of the publication by Government of the papers of Captain Ross, relating to the recent Antarctic Voyage of Discovery, The Duke of WELLINGTON said he had not considered the subject, but that the Government would be willing to give the most complete information on the subject. The House then went into Committee on the Deo dands Bill. While the Bill was in Committee, the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, in consequence of something that fell from Lord. CAMPBELL, said that he was ready at any moment to defend his conduct from the aspersions of any man, great or small, noble or mean, who chose to attack it, and that he only wished what had been said in his ahseace might be repeated in his presence. Lord BROUGHAM begged to assure the Noble Earl, that whenever he had been assailed in his absence, he had been defended by the Duke of WELLINGTON, and The accounts from Zurich are to the 11th inst. On that day the Diet was chiefly occupied with a debate on a general amnesty for those engaged in the late disturb ances, when the question was referred to a Committee. The Diet next entered upon the decree of Lucerne, on the subject of the estates and property of the persons involved in the late events ; but in each of these ques tions no decision could be come to for want of a sufficient number of members, and there being no more business before the Diet, it adjourned sine die. According to the latest intelligence, all apprehensions of civil war or any serious disturbance had ceased. The cantons in general are too poor to maintain extraordi nary troops, and most of those raised for the occasion have been disbanded. The disciples of the Jesuits, how ever, are still violent against the Protestants. The New Zurich Gazitte publishes an account of a review which took place at Fribourg, a Catholic canton. The Chief Baillie addressed the landsturm in a furious speech, in which he used the fol lowing words :—" Those who are not for the Jesuits are against them and against holy religion ; the faithful who meet such ought to rip them up and finish them, and the Jesuit fathers accord to them absolution beforehand, Berne wants to overthrow our churches, and Protestantise Switzerland." The same journal contradicts the charge against Berne and adds :—" The Catholic cantons most ardent for civil war are beginning already to cool, be cause of the burden of supporting troops, which they cannot afford to pay. It is on this account that the poor little cantons of Schwytz, Uri, and Unterwalden, have already shown a disposition to back out of the quarrel. We now find that Lucerne, the foremost in the fight, is in a similar predicament. The news from that canton is to the 10th. At that time the troops were disbanding, only four companies being retained both for town and country. So drained had the State been that they were obliged to have recourse to the issue of bonds. If the Committee of the Diet only act with ordinary prudence the thirst for civil war will expire of itself." The American packet Hibernia arrived at Liverpool yesterday morning. She brings New York papers to the Ist March. The Bill for the annexation of Texas was still under consideration in the Senate. The New York Tribune, a paper adverse to annexation, says :—" It is close work," and expresses its fears that the decision of the Senate will be adverse to the interests of peace and freedom; adding :—" The Presicent elect is the master spirit of the Texas intrigue, and is concentrating his immense power and patronage wholly on this point." It seems to be the general opinion that the Oregon Bill cannot pass the Senate without material amendment. It appears that the British Government bas offered to leave the matter relating to the possession of the Oregon territory to the arbitration of any disinterested European power, to be named by the United States. The Wash ington correspondent of the Tribune says :—" I believe Oregon will be allowed to lie over another summer. The Bill has answered its purpose by helping Texas through. It is quite likely that the Bill to make States of lowa and Florida will likewise fail for want of time." Madrid Journals of the 9th have been received, but they bring no news. On the preceding day the three per Cents. were quoted at 35, and the Fives closed at 26k, both at sixty days. We learn from the Paris papers that a large majority of the Chamber of Deputies are in favour of the imme diate conversion of the Five per Cent. Stock, and it is not at all improbable, if the Ministry should resist the rno- THE STJN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 16 1 ma. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, MONDAY EVIIING.

On Thursday, the King of the French, attended by General Friant, the Count de Strada, and two orderly officers, left the Tuileries, at three o'clock, for Saint Cloud, where he remained till five, and then returned. In the evening, their Majesties received the British Ambassador, the Portuguese and Tuscan Ministers, Counts Merlin and de Brigode, Peers of France, Admiral Baron de la Susse, and the Baron de Bougainville. Snow began to fall in Paris on Saturday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, and continued heavily throughout the day. The Univers says—" Up to the 10th inst., nine archbishops and nearly forty bishops had signified their approval of the pastoral letter of Cardinal de Ronald, conderuring M. Dupin's work. It is probable that at present the number is increased." The Moniteur Parisien contradicts from authority the statement that N. de Rothschild had purchased estates of Prince Puckler Muskau. The funeral of M. Dujarrier, who was killed in the duel with M. Beauvallon, took place on Friday at two o'clock. The hearse, drawn by four horses, was followed by a very long train of mourners, consisting of the family and friends of the deceased, to the cemetery of Montmartre, all on foot and uncovered. The pall was borne by MM. de Balzac, Alexandre Dumas, Wry, and Emile Girardin, the latter of whom delivered an impressive oration over the grave. It appears by a letter from Naples that, in the early part of the last month, several shocks of earthquake were felt in various parts of Calabria, but they were not attended with any disaster. Considerable injury, however, was done by a storm on the 3d, on the coast near Gallipoli and Otranto. A letter from Stockholm, of the 21st ult., states that the municipality of that capital has come to a unanimous resolution to erect in it an equestrian statue in bronze of the late King Charles John, the model of which is to come from the hands of Schwanthaler, the celebrated sculptor of Munich. The great cattle-show at Poissy will be held on Wednes day next. At one o'clock will take place the sale of the bulls, cows, and heifers of the Durham breed from the expe rimental farm of Du Pin. The Duke de Nemours, it is said, has intimated his intention of presiding at the distribution of the prizes, and in the evening there will be a grand dinner of distinguished agriculturists, at which the Minister of Com merce and Agriculture will preside. A trial of the electrical telegraph took place on Tuesday, on the part of the Orleans line lying between the terminus at Paris and Ivry, and was perfectly satisfactory. The Com pany, it is said, intend immediately prolonging the apparatus to Juvisy. COURT-FASHIONABLE. Sir James and Lady Graham entertained the Duke de Broglie, the Count de St. Aulaire, Count Pollon, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Brougham, the Earl and Countess of Lin coln, the Right Hon. W. E. and Mrs. Gladstone, Lord John Manners, Lady Dufferin, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Sheridan, Mr. G. Hope, and a distinguished circle, at dinner, on Saturday last, at the Right Hon. Baronet's house, in Hill-street. The Earl of Ellenborough had a dinner party on the same evening, at the Noble Earl's residence in Charles-street, Berkeley-square, when Lord Granville Somerset, Lord Fitz roy Somerset, Sir John Macdonald, Sir Thomas Herbert, Sir George Clerk, the Right Hon. George Dawson, the Right Hon. J. C. Herries, Viscount Jocelyn, Colonel Cluny, Colonel Cureton, the Hon. William Bingham Baring, Mr. Bonham, Colonel Seward, &c., were present. The Right Hon Thomas Grenville's dinner party, in Hamilton-place, was attended by Lord and Lady Mahon, the Earl of Clare, Lady Davy, Sir R. H. Inglis, Bart., the Hon. George and Lady Louisa Fortescue, Lord and Lady Dalmeny Mr. S. Rogers, tic. The infant son and heir of the Marquis and Marchioness of Douglas will take the title of Earl of Angus, being one of the Earldoms possessed by his noble grandfather, the Duke of Hamilton. Viscount Melbourne leaves town in a few days for Brockett Hall, Herts, for the Easter recess, where Lord and Lady Beauvale, and a select party, will assemble. The Noble Viscount will be absent from town about three weeks. Viscount Morpeth left town on Saturday, for Castle Howard, the seat of the Earl of Carlisle, in Yorkshire. Lord Cottenham has purchased the spacious mansion of the late Sir Bethel Codrington, in Park-lane, and the edifice is undergoing re- embellishment, previous to its occupancy by the Noble and Learned Baron and family. 'The Duke de Broglie arrived on Saturday evening, at the French embassy in Manchester-square, and we understal.d he will remain with Count St. Aulaire, the French Ambas sados, during his sojourn in this country. MISCELLANEOUS. Late on Friday afternoon two petitions were forwarded to Sir James Graham, praying that her Majesty would be pleased to spare the life of the convict Tapping. One. has emanated front a few private individuals, well-known for their humane efforts, and the other is from the relatives of the deceased. On Saturday morning, about six o'clock, as police-consta ble Hudson, of the K division, was about to enter the station house, at Bow, it being his turn to go on duty, he was seized with a fit of coughing, in the course of which a quantity of blood flowed from his month. He was led into the yard, and supported by two policemen, the blood, at the time, stream ing out of his mouth. In a few minutes life ce4sed to exist from the loss of blood. Mr. Eliot Yorke, one of the representatives of Cambridge shire, will meet his constituents next Tuesday, at Newmar ket, to discuss with them the present state of agriculture, and the effects of the late changes in the corn-laws and the tariff. The farmers attribute their present depression to Sir Robert Peel's measures. Mr. Yorke denies that Sir Robert Peel's measures have anything to do with the depression ; and hereupon issue is joined. Somewhat more than two years since the Rev. Bryan King, rector of St. George's in the East, introduced certain changes into the church service, which'proved so distasteful to the pa rishioners, that on the 6th ult. a requisition was forwarded to the Rev. Gentleman, through Mr. Howell, the vestry. clerk, complaining of changes so wholly novel, and earnestly entreating a restoration of the form of worship which existed aefore the Rev. Gentleman became rector of the parish. To this requisition, which was signed by the churchwardens, overseers, and nearly 200 parishioners, the Rev. Rector re plied that he could not conscientiously comply with their request, and that, "he darQd not do so upon any earthly consideration." SeveraLother communications passed on the subject, but though the tone was amicable, the replies of the Rev. Gentleman did not prove by any means satisfactory to the requisition of the parishioners, and the result was, that a placard has been sent forth for a meeting. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Her Majesty honoured the Italian Opera with her pre sence on Saturday evening. The performances were the opera of Ernani and the new ballet of &Wine, both of which increase in popularity on every representation. The quintette in the second act of El nani was rap turously encored, as was the terzetto at the conclusion of the opera. Her Majesty, who arrived at the commence ment of the second act of the opera, remained until nearly the conclusion of the ballet. The house was crowded by a fashionable audience from the very com mencement of the performances. As we imagined would be the case, the merits of Verdi are becoming daily better understood and appreciated in this coun try. His works suit the atmosphere for which they have been composed ; and as their melodies become familiar to the opera visitant, so will. they increase iu favour. The principal airs in Ernani are beginning to resound in the drawing-room, and when this is the case, the pros pects of a new composer are golden indeed. In a word, Verdi has touched the fancy of fashionable England, and he has nothing to do now but to swim, as long as he can, with the tide. The reputation of the day is all that cou cerns him, and that he is likely to achieve. The appearance of her Majesty's Theatre on Saturday night was as brilliant as we ever remember to have seen it, and as unlike what it used to be in the slovenly times before Easter as it is possible to conceive. The Queen, attended by the Prince, and a large party of ladies (who no doubt are duly chronicled by the industrious Court newsman) was present, and there was a magnificent dis play of aristocracy and fashion. Her Majesty stayed the whole of the opera, and also during a portion of the ballet, which had the desirable effect of preventing delays and consequently of avoiding unseemly encroachments upon the Sabbath. With the opera the Royal party appeared to be much pleased: and it could not well be otherwise, for it was capitally sung—with all those advantages re sulting from an improved mechanical knowledge, and on the part of the prima donna, Madame Rita Borio, with an accession of effect necessarik coming from mended confidence and increased self-reliance. This lady has fulfilled all the prognostics which were entertained in her favour on her first appearance. Consirherahly less em barras,ed, she no w sings with great brilliancy and power, and with but few failures—even when her vocal flights (as in her first cavatina) are bold and hazardous. She always executes in a musician-like style, as if her edu cational exercises had been conducted upon sound disciplinarian principles; and if she is not destined to shine in so distinctive a manner as she does at present when Grisi is by her side, she will prove an adjunct immeasurably superior to any of the second-rate aitites who have in recent years had prominent introductions. She will turn out an excellent reserve —a substitute of useful efficiency when the manager is in a strait—when ill-temper is playing inconve nient tricks, and when ominous-looking certificates are handed in from Dr. Wardrop. Signor Botelli is also thriving in estimation. He is not unimpeachable as to intonation, which sometimes fails him when he strains his voice in " high places ;" but he is, altogether, a bar ritone singer capable of good service, and his presence, like that of Madame Rita Borio, will no doubt often be considered a useful fact as the season advances. Mo riani and Fornasari sang with their usual skill and good address ; but although the fine tenor voice of the former is heard in Ernani in all its ringing fulness, and is endued by the singer with wondrous passion and in tensity, the character is on the whole ineffective, from causes incident to itself. The vehemence of this artist is both impressive and imposing, but his voice will evi dently bear but little emphatic stress : it is apt to get flat in passages of great exertion, a tendency which time and labour will not mend. There were several encores during the evening, and every disposition to encourage the singers and to show favour to the opera. The con certed pieces improve upon acquaintance, many felicitous points, from which the overtaxed attention was diverted on the first night, being observable. The ballet of Eoline is an admirable vehicle for the performances of Mdlle. Lucille Grahn, whose elegance of manner, ease, and feminine gracefulness, are seen in it to perfection. It may be doubtful whether any pas de caractere was ever more effective than the " Maxourka d'Extase." In this, Lucille Grahn comes out as a great pantomimic artist, manifesting an intelligence and apti tude, as well as a poetical feeling, likely to win the highest kind of repute. The composition of the pas is ingenious and characteristic. The fiend tempts the un willing Dryad to dance. She is animated by an unna tural energy, which relaxes at eech successive touch of the malicious Gnome, who catches her in his arms as she whirls ipsily before him ; she recoils convulsively as his evil fingers press and collapse her heart, until, be wildered and paralysed by his insidious power, she sinks down motionless at his feet. All this is described with consummate skill. Perrot's personation of the Gnome is a finished bit of demonianism : the glance of his eye is fiendish, and the poor Dryad, all lightheartedness and innocence, seems to be benumbed as she comes under its withering influence. The dancing of Mademoiselle Grahn is remarkable for its firmness : it is not wonderfulthere are me of the vigorous bounds of Cerite, nor the twinkling impossibi lities of Fanny Elssler, but there is the neatness of the latter and the general impulse of the former. The new danseuse, Mdlle. Weiss, is a painstaking person, and flies across the stage in a suit of blue muslin, with a strength and a determination not often seen in a coryphee. She is an athletic of no mean power ; but her vigour is not very bewitching. If the evolutions of the four young ladies who assist her in the pas de cinq were abbreviated, or expunged altogether, it would be a boon for which most people would express gratitude. Let us again write a word in praise of the scenery, and the effects peculiar to it, which reflect no little credit upon Mr. Marshall and his co-operators. The forest scene with its shadowy tenantry of sprites and Dryads is a masterpiece of its kind, and is worth coy templating as the embodyment of a pretty and poetical fancy. The spot seems a veritable haunt of fairies ; and when the troop of Dryads emerge from the huliow trunks where they have been hidden, and gambol fully under the leafy canopy which shelters teem, the effect is delicate and enchanting. On Saturday night a casualty happened which sadly perplexed the poetry of the scene. Several huge trees were torn up viotently by the roots, disclosing certain ungainly pieces of car penter's work evidently not intended fir the e eof her Majesty or her lieges. Windlasses were heard to groan, and hot interjections from the lips of infuriated stage managers flew from side to side. The little Dryads peeped pitifully from their sanctuaries in the foliage overhead, and wondered how the disreption of their pa ternal oaks would end ; but the rebellious canvas, which was curiously cobbled up in mid air, suddenly swung heavily down, and the trees took to their rooti again— to the intense satisfaction of everybody both on and off the stage. Amongst those present were her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by Vis countess Canning. the Hon. Miss Stanley, Hen. Miss Hamilton, the Earl of Hardwicke, Sir E. Bowater, the Hon. Colonel Grey, and Colonel Drummond ; the Duchess of Cambridge, tie Duke and Duchess of Meek lenburgh St-elite, accompanied by Count Kielmansegge and Baron Dedel, and attended by Baron Knesebeck ; the Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden and party ; the Queen Dowager's box was occupied by Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar and Lord and Lady Wharncliffe ; the Duke of Montrose, the Duchess of Hamilton, Baron and Baroness Brunnow, Count Esterhazy, the Marquis of Worcester, the Earls of Lonsdale, Cardigan, Munster, Falmouth ; the Countess of Harrington ; Lords Ayl mer, Foley, Somerton, Cantalupe, Ernest Bruce, Nugent, Adolphus Fitzclarence, Ranelagh ; Ladies Shawe Stewart, Rendlesham, Augusta Went worth, Meux.

Addams gave his usual lecture on astronomy, at the Adelphi Theatre. The lecturer, in the course of the evening, alluded to the approaching transit of, Mer cury, which, as well as the other subjects treated of, was illustrated by large transparent and moving scenery The whole concluded with the exhibition of a magnifi cent vertical orrery. The lecture, which was most in teresting, was exceedingly well attended. AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNI LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING, SIX O'CLOCK. The following are extracts from the papers brought by this arrival : DEATH OF Asuan ROBBINS.—We learn by the Providence Journal that the honourable and venerable Asher Robbins died at 'Newport, on Sunday evening last, at the advanced age of eighty-eight. He was a most distinguished citizen of Rhode Island, and was equally the ob ject of esteem and respect for the purity of his per sonal character and the eminent usefulness of his public ser vices. He was for fourteen years the representative of his State in the Senate of the United States," of which body," as the Journal justly says, " his profound learning, his iipe scholarship, and his classical eloquence, made him a dis tinguished member." FIRE.—The alarm of fire last night, between ten and eleven o'clock, proceeded from the steam-boat Gazelle, plying be tween this and Piermont, in connexion with the Erie Rail • road, lying at the foot. of Duane-street, which was much da maged' before the flames were extinguished. The fire in Brooklyn last night, about eleven o'clock, was No. 61, Fulton street, Occupied below by John Herbert, as a grocery. and up stairs by Mr. Shaw's tailor shop, and law yers' offices; the upper part was destroyed, and the gro cery completely deluged by water. Mr. Prazier's stove ma nufactory, at 59, caught fire, but was put out without much damage. Moamoss —The Warsaw (Ill) Signal says that the Mor mons at Nauvoo are in a state bordering on starvation, and yet hundreds are flocking thither. FRESHET IN THE CONNECTICUT.—The recent warm weather and the rains have caused a very considerable rise in the Connecticut. "On Saturday night," says the aorrant. " the water at Hartford rose about eighteen inches, and was, on Sunday evening, sixteen feet above low-water mark. On Monday it rose about twelve inches more. The ice above the bridge made a move, but soon stopped again. The ice is said to remain firm at Pratt's Ferry below. Below Rocky 011, some six or seven miles above Middletown, the river is said to be open. There is little doubt that in a short time the navigation \sill be open to Hartford." PURE MILE AND RICH CREAM.—One of the blessings con ferred upon this city by the Erie Railroad, is the inexhaustible supply of purest milk and cream which it for ever secures this city at reasonable prices. In our columns to day will be found an advertisement from the Orange County ilk Association, to which we invite attention. The Post-office Bill has passed in Committee of the whole, in the House of Representatives, with only one amendment of any consequence ; the rates are fixed at five cents under, and ten over, three hundred miles. This will doubtless pass the House and be at once concurred in by the Senate. The mail bag stolen at Albany has been found. Part of the letters only had been opened, and it is ascertained that none of them contained anthing of value. The Governor of Connecticut has appointed Friday, the 21st of March, as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, in that State. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, FEB. 26.

The Committee a , ,setnbled at Eleven yesterday, and imme diately proceeded to business. The first witness called was .John James, who produced a deed purporting to be a %fleas,. Mr. Robson, Solicitor to the Admiralty, sworn—Saw a letter from Mr. Somes's solicitor to the Admiralty in De cember last. Got an order from Mr. S 3 dney Herbert in re ference to that letter, and took the necessary steps to cause the transfer of Mr. Somes's contract to Messrs. Joseph and Frederick Somes. Applied at their bankers', and fiaund the answer satisfactory, and so reported to the Admiralty. (This witness proved the several other documents necessary to validate the transfer.) Cross-examined by Mr. Sers,eant WRANG lAM —Tim deed was executed on the 20th of December . 1844. - Mr. John Henry Lescomb, shipowner, sworn —Has . 0115 ship in which Mr. Some:i has a .hare; but bus several that to has no share in. Ail wituess's accounts, &c., come &rough Mr. Somes's office. Mr. Edward Saxton, solicitor to Mr. Somes, sworn—ls re lated to Mr. Somes by marriage. The next question put to the witness was objected to by the petitioner's counsel, and a long legal argument ensued, and, at its conclusion, the nom was ordered to be cleared. On our re-admission, the CHAIRMAN said that, the Com mittee had decided that the question could not be put. The next question was in reference to tha deed of transfer. Witness said he made all the necessary inquiries as to the state of the contracts; drew up a deed of release, and got it properly signed mid witnessed, &e., conveying the contracts, ships, &c., from Mr. Somes to his nephews. Cross-examined—Received the deed back from the Ad miralty on the 16th of December; sent the deed down to Dartmouth on the 17th. Mr. J. H. Scott, senior clerk in her Majesty's Paymaster- General's-office, sworn—Produced ready-money bilfs, drawn by Messrs. Lackland and M‘Leod ; the date of the last is the 3d of January, 1845. Mr Frederick Somes, nephew of Mr. Somes, sen., sworn —Commanded the Sir Robert Peel ship for two years; is an owner of ships also, the accounts of which were kept in his uncle's office. His uncle, a short time previous to his election, said that he was going to transfer his Government contracts and sell his ships to him (witness) and his brother, but the amount had not beeu then fixed; for there is a difficulty of ascertaining the value of such without delay ; the value has been ascertained since the election, some time in the month of January. There certainly was no understanding to the effect that if his uncle should not be returned the sale was to have no effect—the sale was an out-and- out bargain. When witness came of age his fortune amounted to about 25,0001. His brother had an equal share with him. Has since paid the amount of the value of the contracts and ships sold him by his uncle ; paid cash 10,000/. ; the remainder was paid by the two bills now produced. Accounts were opened in his and his brother's names with the Government for the contracts since the Ist January, and had received payments, no portion of which does he (witness) consider himself bound, either in law or in honour, to pay his uncle. Was aware, before the election, that he would be liable to a penalty for being a party to any such understanding. Cross-examined—Had no conversation with his uncle on the subiect of the contracts before last December. Did not recollect that his brother was present at the conversation. Cannot say that the proposal made any great impres sion on his mind, though it was not one of every day occurrence. Did not know what ships were engaged, or on their voyage at the time of the proposal. Could nut say that he then formed any idea of the probable amount for which he was about to become liable, but knew it would be something very considerable. Believes that he was to pay the debts to his uncle that were then due by the Government to him. Did not know how many ships were under contract. He felt so much confidence in his uncle that he left the matter en tirely to him. (This witness underwent a long cross-exann nation as to the particulars of this transaction, the amount he was to pay, the ships he was to get , the liabilities, ex penses, &c.) To the CumnmAN—Witness understood from his uncle that the debt due to him by the Government amomiteal to about 50,0001., and that this sum included the ships then under contract. There were other ships that were not in cluded. Thomas Baring, Esq., sworn—Sat as Member for mouth at one time; and was defeated on two other occasio P!ot Was a candidate at one time with Mr. Somes, b u t it WO with his (Mr. B.'s) concurrence. a rtnei Mr. Joseph Lackland, ship-broker, sworn—Has AP— „ n a named M'Leod. Has acted for Mr. Somes, 5 01 " orm — et Messrs. Somes, jun. Had had conversation with the forte in reference to an assignment of his contracts wiih tb e , o r vernment previous to the 17th December. Received ins' Ai tions some time in January from Mr. Somes 133 br estimates, but had some understanding fore Mr. Somes went to Dartmouth. The ester to would occupy some time to make out. The estimate vitt, be of the money due to Mr. Somes up to the 17th "-- 13e fbote ber, and of the contracts then completed as well ss er then existing. The witness then explained them O D f . which estimates are made out, and stated the different Eispo ments made to the credit of Messrs. J. and F. 501n e „,„,„ 5 ° e t. about it to the 17th December, and that he never carried any P„ 8 . 7 :„.; - v ati to the credit of Mr. Somes, sen., after that day. a notice from Mr. Saxton, cautioning him not to do so: 0 0 In his cross-examination, the witness said it was te the close of the month of February that he go t instrtic..ho to make the estimate, and not some time in JanusrPr i . a had previously stated. It is not at all unusual 'to., person, when tendering for a contract with al l° int to represent himself as in part owner, when ill, Pc:ro of fact he was not so, but otherwise interested. M.„,,,,uegober munications to the Messrs. Somes some time in relative to the sums to be paid for some of the AV' Do t s .0 lieves the transfer to have been a valid one , certainly _. fictitious one. Thinks the Messrs. Somes did not get P' of a bargain. At the close of this witness's examination the Vu'"" -- adjourned to eleven o'ch ck to-morrow. • vIARKET NE s.
