Returns were or der d on the subjist of Cr , srwr s, on the motion al ord MONTEAGLE ; of t!:c nye.. -t. 5f Roman Catholic ituients in Tlltity College, Dab il, on that of Vis vow t STRANGFORD ; and of the ntra3Ler of complaints made at the Pott..office of the non-transmission of news tapers, on that Lord 011283,14. An addition Was I made to this latter motion, for a return of the number of newspapers sent to the Dead Letter-office, in conse quence of being without directions, on the motion of the Earl of LONSDALE. Some petitions were presented, and their Lordships adjourned. The House of Commons met at Twelve o'Clock, and resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House on the Railway Consolidation Bill. The whole of the clauses were •Igreed to with some verbal amendments, and the House resumed. I On the motion of Lord G. SOMERSET, the Orders of the Day for the Committees on the other Railway Con solidation Bilis were postponed to Tuesday, when the House will again sit at Twelve o'Clock. The House adjourned from Half-past Three to Five o'Clock. On the re-assembling of the House several Railway Bills were brought in and read a first time, and various petitions were presented and notices of motion given. JI answer to Sir W. CLAY, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that it was intended the reduction in the sugar duties should take place immediately after the day on which the resolutions should have been agreed to. The Right Hon. Gentleman made a similar statement with regard to the export duty on coals, and that in every case the same rule would apply, unless when specially ordered otherwise. The order of the day for renewing the adjourned de bate on Lord Howrex's amendment to Mr. T. Dux- COMBE'S motion, on the subject of Post-office espionage, was then read, and the debate was resumed by Mr. COLLETT, who considered the report of the Secret Com mittee most unsatisfactory ; he, there ore, should vote for further inquiry. Sir IL COLBORNE opposed the motion, as calculated to cast a stigma on the character of his noble relative, who had been Chairman of the Committee of the other House. Mr. FERRAND asked if the letters of the members cf the Anti-Coin-law League had been opened ? If they had not, Mr. DuscomnE had been treated unfairly by Sir J. GRAHAM, who only could have opened the letters of the Hon. Member for Finsbury in order to gratify a " pi orient eui iosity." STnurr, as a member of the Committee of last year, vindicated their proceedings. He thought, how ever, that the power of opening letters should only be granted on information on oath, and that parties should have warning of warrants having been issued to read their correspondence, and should have the same redress as they had at present with regard to search •warrants in case of illegality or irregularity. Mr. COLQIIHOIJN opposed both the amendment and the original motion. e " Mr. W. WILLIAMS and Mr. BLEWITT supported the original motion. Mr. B. COCHRANE did not think that the fact of having Fad his letters opened cast any reflection on the character of the Hon. Member for Finsbury, and should therefore oppose the motion. Lord n. HAMILTON said that so far from the Hon. Member for Finsbury having been injured by these pro ceedings, he believed it was the greatest hit he had ever male in his life. Mr. WATSON denied that the law gave the Secretary of State the power to open letters, which it appears he had exercised. He might detain, but not open; and if the Government were desirous of trying the legality, let them acknowledge the fact, produce the warrant, and bring the whole question to trial. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL having attacked Mr. D'ls- RA 'MI for his support of Lord Howtcres amendment, proceeded bri •Ely to reply to the legal objections of Mr. WATSON, and concluded by calling on the House to resist the motion and the amendment. Lord JOHN RUSSELL contended for the existence and exercise of the power of opening letters by the Govern ment, as necessary for securing the public peace, but de clared that it would be unwise to resist inquiry into the case of the Hon. Member for Finsbury. Sir R. PEEL followed the Noble Lord, and deprecated all further inquiry. Sir J. HANDIER, Sir G. GREY, and other Hon. Mem bers then addressed the House. After a lengthened discussion, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE re plied, and withdrew the original motion ; when the House divided, and Lord Howicx's amendment was re jetted by a majority of 95. The numbers being for the amendment 145 against 240. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE then gave notice that on Tuesday he should move that the officials of the Post-office be summoned to the bar of the House, for the purpose of informing the House under what authority they had beer. parties in detaining, delaying, or opening his post letters. The House adjourned at One o'clock. It has fallen to the lot of few British statesmen to give utterance to a more profound truth than that which was enunciated by Sir ROBERT PEEL, when he made this avowal, whilst contemplating the career of office upon which he was entering:—" Ireland is my greatest diffi culty." The truth of the averment is, on every account indeeJ, so self-evident, that its triteness is apt to detract, we fear, from the salutary influence which it ought to exercise on the minds of public men. And yet it cannot, in justice, be denied, that our Governments of all shades of political opinions have been sensitive to the immense responsibility which has devolved upon them, with the succession to power, of finding remedies for the evils, social and political, that all of them have successively admit ted as pervading the condition of Ireland. But if this have been the fact, their convictions would appear to have paralyzed their remedial efforts to extinguish the acknowledged mischiefs. They saw, they confessed, they deplored ; but, one after another, these Govern ments passed out of the portals of office as they had entered them—alive to the fearful aspects presented by that condition, but unable to announce that they had succeeded in removing them. The public have long since come to the conclusion that those , Governments did not adopt any well-considered or com prehensive scheme of observation and inquiry, upon the results of which they might have devised and founded an eligible plan of treatment for the very peculiar case with which they had to deal. That treatment was never sufficiently comprehensive. It contemplated some iso lated symptom, and administered only some topical remedy. The great social disease that affected almost the entire system of Ireland was lost sight of. It was permitted to extend itself with impunity over the lower extreroLies, as it were; nor was it till the dis temper began to develop itself in other regions of that system, whose positions it was fast disorganising, that the business of seriously attempting to get at the root and seat of a malady, displaying itself under so many types of morbid action, was entered upon with honesty and determination of purpose. In this view of the matter no more than their due meed of praise has been awarded to the parties who suggested the appointment of " her Majesty's Commissioners of Inquiry into the state of the law and practice in respect of the occupation of land in Ireland," of which the Earl of DEVON has acted as the able, upright, and most diligent Chairman. The long-looked-for "Report " of this Commission has just been issued in a printed form ; and we may con gratulate the country at large on the encouraging hopes to be entertained of most beneficial and permanent re sults from the adoption of the various measures it sub mits for the sanction of her MAJESTY'S approval. We subjoin a concise abstract from the columns of a Con temporary, which embodies a recital of the points to which the Commissioners have directed their la bours and framed their Report ; and of the opinions recorded at its conclusion by them. Wo should but weaken, at present, the force of the considerations which these opinions embody, by any remarks of our own that we may be prepared to offer. But, after having repeated from the " Blue-book" such passages as we may think best entitled to the attention of our readers, we shall return again to the recommendations (to most of which we shall desire to offer our humble support), com prised in this interesting document : The following is a list of the heads of the Report : " Course of Proceeding by Commissioners—Historical Sketch of Landed Property PI r , eland—Review of former Reports—Tenote : of Landlord, of Tenant—Permanent Im provements : how generally effected, Bill tb provide Com pensation fo-, power to Land'ord to charge estates for—Con solidation of Farms: different modes of effecting, and obser vations upon them—Recovery of Rent: by Distress, by Ejectment, amendments of the law as to both these pro cesses, Tenants from year to year—Proposed Form of Lease in certain Cases: Stamp Dales, Registration of Leases— Agents, including Receivers under the Courts—Sale of Estates : for making out Title—Agricultural In struction Emigration Waste Lands—Pub l ic Works— Amendment of Public Works Act—Labourers: their condi tion, con-acre—County Cess : observations . upon, and sug gestions for alteration—Suggestions for amendment of Law upon several miscellaneous matters—Agrarian Outrages — Conclusion." We subjoin " the conclusion," from which our readers will be able to form a judgment of the general character of the Report : " We have thus endeavoured to lay before your Majesty the conclusion et which we have arrived, after the extensive inquiry in which we have been engaged. We are well aware of the dif f iculties that sutround the whole subject of that inquiry. " One class of persors have been accustomed to look ex clusively to legislative interference for a removal of the evils to which Ireland, is exposed; whilst others despair en tirely of any beneficial effect upon her social condition tioin such interference. " We do not agree with either of these classes. We know that the best directed measures of Parliament cannot pro duce the desired effect, unless aided and enforced by the steady, as well as active exertions of the people of all ranks and conditions in their respective spheres; but we are at the same time satisfied that a very beneficial change may be effected by the united and vigorous efforts of the Legislatur e and of individuals. " We cannot despair when we find a country enjoying such natural advantages as Ireland possesses, with a large extent of uncultivated or unimproved land, and a numerous popula tion, able and willing to labour if opportunities are afforded to them. On the contrary, we confidently believe, that by an examination of the facts as they actually exist, and by a close attention to details, means may be found for re moving many or most of those partial and particular obstacles, which have hitherto so greatly impeded the bene ficial employment of labour, and obstructed the enjoyment of those advantages which a country such as Ireland is calcu lated to afford. _ _ _ _ _ "But this desirable result cannot be looked for, unless the united andvigorous efforts of all classes in Ireland are directed tawards it. _ _ " Instances are to be seen in every part of the country of estates upon which the liberal conduct and active super intendence of a resident landlord, or of a resident and judicious agent. have established a system of progressive improvement as to the land, and of increasing comfort to the people, which are, unfortunately, wanting in many other districts. _ _ " We trust that one effect, at least, of our labours will be to rouse the attention of many who have as yet thought little upon the subject, and to encourage them to follow the examples thus held out to them. " Above all, we would call upon all such persona not to rest satisfied with any vague or general notion of the state ' of the population with which they are connected, but care fully to examine all circumstances, iu order that they may apply those remedies which shall be appropriate to the case, as well as efficient for the purpose of relief. " The voluminous evidence collected by us, in all parts of I-eland, with the numerous returns and other documents transmitted to us, present a mass of information upon the social condition of that country which must serve as a useful guide to all who desire to employ their efforts for improve -ment in the right direction, and upon sound principles; and we feel satisfied that great advantage may be derived from placing in their true light many facts and circumstances hitherto little known, or greatly misunderstood. " Whilst we have, in various parts of this report, made observations in the nature of advice to some of those who are landlords in Ireland, we trust, at the same time, to be permitted to remark shortly upon the conduct too often pur sued by some of the class of tenants. There is frequently a readiness amongst these to attribute their own wretched con dition exclusively to the conduct of their landlords, some times with an utter disregard of truth, and almost always without admitting,' perhaps without seeing, how much of it arises from their own indolence or want of skit. "The truth is, to use a fam!liar expression, that faults are in many cases to be found on both sides; and, considering bow uninformed a large portion of the Irish population is, a heavy responsibility rests upon all those to whom the poorer classes have a right to look for information and advice. " The foundation of almost all the evils by which the social condition of Ireland is disturbed is to be traced to those feel ings of mutual distrust, which too often separate the classes of landlord and tenant, and prevent all united exertion for the common benefit. " It has been truly said, that confidence is a plant of slow growth. It is, however, a plant which will flourish well in Irish soil, if cultivated with patience and with care. " We say particularly with, patience, because we believe that many excellent persons, having the best intentions towards improving the cultivation of the soil and the con dition of the people in Ireland, have been too easily diverted from their course by feelings of disappointiaent at the slow prowess which is made towards the attainment of those ends, and the little result which is perceived from their most arn;oas endeavours. :4 We would earnestly impress upon such persons, and upon all who have the interest of Ireland at heart, not hastily to relax from those exertions which circumstances may enable them to make, in forwarding the march of improvement amongst their poorer neighbours. " Without touching upon the political or other causes which may have contributed to create a feeling of distrust, we cannot disguise from ourselves that the Irish peasant is inclined to look with suspicion upon all attempts of his land lord to inculcate new habits or to introduce new plans for the management of his lands. " Every considerate and benevolent landlord will make much allowance for this feeling. He will not suffer any exhibition of it to turn him aside from any scheme of im provement upon which, after deliberation, he has determined to enter. _ "He must be prepared for frequent disappointment. He will ocasionally meet with ingratitude and injustice ; but if he perseveres in a spirit of kindness, united with firmness of purpose, he may confidently look to a well-merited reward, probably in the advancement of his personal interest, but certainly in the improvement of the district in which he lives, and the increasing comfort of the people around him. " All which we humbly certify to your Majesty. "DEVON. " R. A. FERGUSON. " GEORGE A. HAMILTON. " THOMAS N. REDINGTON. " JOHN WYNNE. " J. P. KENNEDY, Secretary. " February 14, 1845." Accounts have been received from Madrid to the 13th inst. On the following day it was announced that the new electoral law, and a Bill relative to the restoration of the unsold property to the clergy, would be intro duced by the Government into the Chamber of Deputies. Bourse.—Three per Cents., cash, 331 ; for account, 33: 4 1 . Five per Cents., for account, 241. The French Chamber of Deputies was to commence the discussion on the Secret Service Money Bill on Thursday, and from the manner in which the report on the Bill has been drawn up, Ministers are evidently re solved to stand or fall by the decision of the Chamber. M. DEBELLEYME, chairman of the Committee, read the report on the 18th, in which it is stated that they had heard the President of the Council, the Ministers of Justice, Foreign Affairs, and the Interior, and their explanations appeared 'to be satisfactory. The Com mittee did not consider it necessary to lead the discus sion in the d'reetion of foreign policy, as they were per• fectly satisfied with all the main points. They also stated that the internal tranquillity and prosperity of the country had never been more real, and that the policy followed both at home and abroad during the four last years had consolidated peace, and powerfully con tributed, by the confidence and security which have been produced, to the development of the national riches. The report concludes with the following challenge " The Ministry having maintained under this double point of view, and in its totality, the general policy sanctioned by the votes of the Chamber, the majority of the Committee has the honour of proposing to you to give a vote of confidence to the Cabinet by adopting the Bill." Most of the journals have brief comments on this re port, but they are of no interest. Everything depends on the vote of the Chamber. The Ministerial party ex pect a majority of 30, while the Oppositian say 15 or 20 will be the utmost. The division was expected to take place on Saturday. The domestic affairs of France, however, are of little importance at present, compared with the revolution which has taken place in one of the Swiss cantons on her frontier, and the general commo tion throughout the whole federation. Radical reform has been established in the extensive and powerful can ton of Vaud, which joins France on the west, and ex tends along the foot of Mount Jura. As we stated yes terday, the Grand Council had resigned, but it appears not voluntarily, for they were in a manner compelled to take such a step by the armed citizens, who elected a new Council, and laid down a basis for a new Constitution which should be imperative on the Government, and recognised trial by jury, the re-organisation of the courts of justice, and the making of the civil and penal laws more democratic. The following account, which appears in a letter, dated Geneva, Feb. 16, appears to furnish a correct view of the state of the Canton :—" The affair of the Jesuits has produced in the Canton de Vaud a complete and radical revolution. The resolution upon that question adopted by the Council of State of the Canton de Vaud, on the 13th, not being in conformity with the wish ex pressed by 32,000 petitioners, popular assemblies have been held in all parts of the canton. About 15,000 of the inhabitants of the neighbouring country arrived in Lausanne on the 14th, and the consequent excitement is very great. The Council of State immediately called the inhabitants to arms, but very few attended to the gall. The soldiers joined the people, and cried out, ' Down with the Council of State, down with the Jesuits.' Three hundred soldiers, who bad hitherto remained faithful to the Council of State, having refused to receive am munition or to take part against the people, the Council found itself deprived of all support, and having no means of resisting, the members resigned en masse. On the 14th, at half-past two in theafternoon, the people held a general meeting in the Place de Montbenon, when several resolutions were adopted, calling upon the Coun cil of State to yield to the wishes of the petitioners, and afterwards to dissolve itself, in order that a constituent assembly might be elected in its stead. The meeting afterwards proceeded to the election of a provisional government, of which HENRY DRUEZ, Councillor of State, was appointed President. The Provisional Government immediately published a proclamation an nouncing the change which had been made and the re solutions of the meeting. In the evening of the 14th an immense number of people from the country round Lausanne arrived in the town, and on the morning of the 15th another meeting of the people was held, which was attended by more than 15,000 persons, most of whom were armed. This meeting declared the Grand Council dissolved, and immediately called on the people of the canton to meet and elect a new Grand Council ; and it also passed a resolution to the effect, that all citizens, without exception, were entitled to vote at the elections. The meeting also resolved that the new Grand Council should be entrusted with the reform of the Constitution, and laid down as a basis of that Constitution,which would be imperative on the Council of State, the establishment of trial by jury, the re-organization of the tribunals of justice, and the making of the civil and penal laws more democratic. The meeting afterwards adopted instructions to be given to the De puties of the Canton de Vaud to the Diet. These instructions are the same as those proposed by the minority of the ex-Council of State. Messrs. DRUEZ and BRIATTE were elected Deputies to the Diet. The meeting finished by resolving that those occupying public employments should be dismissed, but that they should continue in their functions till their successors should be appointed, provided they adhered to the prin ciples of the revolution. The new Provisional Govern ment was afterwards installed at the Castle, amidst the acclamations of the people. These events have created immense sen 'Alen in Geneva and the neighbouring can tons. The Genovese Government; fearing the cense quen.les of the agitation of the people, has Called out the militia ; but that step has only added to the excitement, and it is difficult to foresee the result." This demonstration against the Jesuits is spreading through the Republic. The Grand Council of the Gri sens, and also that of Glaris, have declared against them, and demanded their expulsion. Geneva will imitate the example; and these pests of society will, in a short period, have the satisfaction of seeing the whole country thrown into confusion, which will to a certainty lead to the interference of France, Austria, and Prussia. The next intelligence from Paris will probably announce the movement of troops towards the Swiss frontier. Some agitation was produced on the Paris Bourse, on Wednesday, by the introduction of two railway Bills into the Chamber of Deputies. The one is a Bill for the construction of the Great Northern Railway, with branches to Calais and Dunkirk ; and the other for a line from Criel to St. Quentin, with the following con ditions.—that the period for which the first line shall be conceded is not to exceed forty-five years, nor for the second more than seventy-five years, and no party to be entitled to bid for the great line who shall not have pre viously lodged in the Caisse des Depots de Consigna tions a sum of 30,000,000 f., nor for the St. Quentin line who shall not have similarly paid in 6,000,000 f. The successful Company shall not be allowed to issue shares or negotiable promises of shares until it shall have con stituted itself into an " anonymous society," duly authorised, agreeably to the 37th article of the Code of Commerce. The Three per Cents. closed on Wednesday at 85f. 5c.; the New Loan at 86f. 5c.; the Five per Cents. at 122 f. 75c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,187 f. 50c.; Rouen, 1,115 f. ; Havre, 903 f. 75c. ; Belgian Two-and a-Half per Cents., 61E 75c. ; Spanish Actives, 384 ; Ditto, Three per Cents., 41i ; Ditto, Passives, 61 ; Ditto, Domestic Debt, 34. “THE SUN” EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESSES.

In his paper of that evening an extraordinary ex• press edition contained a report of about eight columns' length, with the whole of the Premier's scheme, which we received in due course of Tost on Monday morning. Alt this vast mass of matt er must have been spoken, reported in short-hand, extend e d in ordinary writing, set up in types, worked off by the printing machine, and dispatched by the railway train, in less than four hours ! It took us as much time to abridge it for our columns ! —Inverness Courier. Through the active agency of Messrs. Mansell, of Bit mingham, we received by mail here this morning a copy of the express edition of last night's Sun, by which means we are enabled to lay before our readers the heads a Sir Robert Peel's financial statement.—Hanchester Guardian, Feb. 15 By an extraordinary edition of The Sun, fur which we are indebted to our indefatigable agent, Mr. Mansell, jun., of Bir mingham, we are enabled to give the following summary of Sir Robert Peel's explanation of the budget.— Worcester Herald, Feb. 15. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING-, FEBRUARY 22 1845. SUGAR DUTIES. On Tuesday, the 18th, an article from a morning paper was copied into The Sun. The article, after stating that there were good reasons for believing that the reductions proposed by Sir R. Peel were only the steps to a more comprehensive plan now under con templation, goes on to state, that a document, originally designed for the peculiar direction of those in the Minis terial confidence, had by some means become public. The document is, states the paragraph, an essay on " Commer cial and Financial Legislation, which, though in perfect keeping(?) with the "Financial Statement," is a very bold and ample development. With the assurance that there was the most absolute agreement on those questions be tween Sir Robert Peel and the late President of the Board of Trade, and without the least hint of any dis cordant voice in the Cabinet (again ?) we have, adds the paper, no alternative but to read in this document the ultimate intentions of the present Ministry as far as they have been reduced to tangible form, and as far as circumstances seem likely to admit of their execution. "We have only space this day to give to our readers the two first introductory papers. Their style is compendious and suggestive, but there can be no mistake as to their drift. The freest possible exchange of commodities, and the imposition of taxes Only for revenue, are made the basis of a scheme which we think it duo to the financial acts of the Ministry to publish even in its present im perfect shape." The foregoing eulogium on the financial statement of Friday appears at rather an unhappy moment, consider ing how much the proposition of Sir R. Peel about the sugar duties is at variance with the recommendation of the before-mentioned essay to impose *axes only for revenue. The remarks in The Sun of Wednesday evening clearly demonstrate that the proposed duties on sugar are to be imposed principally for the benefit of one class, regard less altogether of the revenue, for while they will ab stract from the consumers of sugar 2,625,0001. for the enrichment of a few plant.trs, they will deprive the re venue of 1,300,0001., which deficiency the said con sumers will have to make good by submitting to the yoke of an abominable income-tax. These results are as much in keeping with the principle conveyed in the essay on commercial and financial legislation as were the results of the Ministerial efforts to exclude slave labour sugars from the British markets by an Act of Parliament. The Minister and his party bring all the energies of their mind to concoct an Act which shall admit only free-labour sugar to home consumption, when 10, and behold ! the v er y fi rst transaction which occurs, upon the Act coming into operation, is the ad mission of a cargo of slave-labour sugar, certificated, cer tainly, as the produce of Venezuela (a slave-holding State), but suspected to be, by judges of sugar, who saw the samples of it, to be the produce of Porto Rico. One cargo having found its way safely to British markets, will, doubtless, be followed by others, as the enterprise paid the importers handsomely. The scheme for excluding slave-labour sugar from Great Britain is, consequently, illusory, and has the bad effect of raising the prices of sugar to the British consumer, without discouraging the cultivation of the cane by slaves. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the House will support Lord John Russell's amendment whenever it may come under discussion, so that an Act calculated only to raise prices to British consumers and enrich British sugar pro ducers, may be placed, with all others of the same cha racter, in the tomb of the Capulets.

Captain Richards, the Commander of the brig, was ashore at th e time. Captain Bell was a brother of Colonel Bell, the Member for Northumberland. He was a well-iuforrned, kind-hearted and generous o ffi cer, much beloved by all who knew him, and will, we doubt not, be very much regretted by the o ffi cers under his immediate command.

Should the frost continue there may be a chance at last of gettinz iu London a pint of pure mills.— Punch, PRINCESS'S THEATRE. We bad anticipated great things from Miss Cushman's Lady Macbeth, and we have not been disappointed. She appeared in this character last evening, and, since the days of Mrs. Siddons, the British stage has seen no Lady Macbeth who can for one moment be compared to her. From the first scene to the last she was perfect. It was a Shaksperian ie presentation in the highest sense of the word. Never ims "the power of thought, the magic of the mind"—never has the despotic power which the strong will exercises over the weak one, been more powerfully developed than it was by Kiss Cushman, in these scenes of the play in which Lady Macbeth screws the courage of her husband up to "the sticking place." There was something perfectly sublime in her manner of giving the words " Leave the rest to me." In the banquet scene, too, she was truly magnificent. Her manner of giving the words, " Are you a man ?" was perfectly thrilling, and contrasted most forcibly with the dignified condescen sieki of her manner to her guests. The last scene was a triumph of art. The audience shuddered at the " out damned spot ;" and in witnessing the closing agonies of that ambitious spirit, one was almost inclined to adopt the creed of those theologians who assert that the real hell is the hell of conscience. It were useless to particularise further. Were we to point out all the beauties of her performance, we should have to transcribe the part, and to write opposite each line " beautiful," " perfect." Mr. Forrest was the Macbeth. Beautiful in parts—the dagger soliloquy, for instance—it was as a whole most uneven. This gentleman seeks to produce effect by strong contrasts, but he exaggerates too much ; his repose sometimes sinks into tame ness (at times he was quite inaudible), and his enemy occasionally degenerates into rant. Still he possesses great power; but it wants regulation. Last night, however, can hardly be considered as a fair test of his abilities. At the very beginning of the evening there was a most ungenerous attempt made to crush him, and the very fact of knowing that a portion of his audience is unfriendly to him is sufficient to de prive any actor of that perfect command over his powers, which it is absolutely necessary he should have, to enable him to do full justice to his author and to himself. Graham's Macduff was a very careful and praiseworthy performance. Graham and Miss Cushman were called for at the fall of the curtain, and enthusiastically applauded. The house was crowded. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS; Feb. 21. The House sat tc-,lay to hear appeals. The Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell. Their Lord ships were occupied the whole morning with a Scotch appeal, involv ing points of Scotch law of no interest except to the parties concerned. COURT OF CHANCERY, Feb. 21. The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn-hall to-day. NEW QUEEN'S COUNSEL. Upon his Lordship taking his seat, Mr. Lee, Mr. Wood (the son of the late Sir M. Wood), and Mr. Parry, were called within the tar, having been appointed Queen's Counsel ; as was also Mr. Sergeant Manning, in consequence of having been granted a patent of pre cedence. His Lordship, having disposed of the unopposed cause and lunatic petitions on his paper, proceeded to hear the tnrther arguments in the case of the Ludlow Charities, which occupied the Court the re mainder of the morning. ROLLS' COURT, Kb. 21. llis Lordship the Master of the Rolls took motions and causes to day, none of which possessed any point of the least public interest. In the course of the day, Messrs. Lee, Wood, Parry, and Ser geant Manning, were called withid the bar, having received appoint ments as Queen's Counsel. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Feb. 21. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His Honour was occupied the whole morning wiih short causes and unopposed petitions . . During the morning Mr. Lee, Mr. Wood, Mr. Parry, and Mr. Sergeant Manning appeared in Court, and were called within the bar, having been appointed Counsel to her Majesty. No case of any importance occurred either in the Vice-Chancellors Knight Bruce or Wigram's Courts, in the course of the morning. The new Equity Queen's Counsel were called within the bar by their Honours in the course of the day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 21. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall.) BOWLES V. MILLBOURNE. This was an action brought a!;ainst the defendant as a stakeholder. The plaintiff and another person agreed to trot their horses, one against the other, for 501. There was an agreement drawn up be tween the uarties that in case one of the parties made default the bet should be paid to the other. The money having been lodged with the defendant, the plaintiff, the day before the race was to be run, demanded back his money, but it was refused. There was no dispute as to the facts of the case ; but Mr. Lee, on the part of the plaintiff, submitted that, as this was a bet on a trotting match for more than 10/., it came within the statute of Queen Aline. On the part of the defendant, it was contended„by Mr. Hill, that, as the bets had been deposited, as it was, under contract, the plaintiff was not entitled to recover.—Verdict for the defendant, with liberty to move. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 21. (Sittings at Nisi Prins.) Before the LORD CHIEF BARON. The cases whica came before the Court to-day were of an unin. teresting character, except to the parties immediately concerned. COURT OF CoMMON PLEAS, Feb 21. (Sittings at Nisi Prius.) The Court disposed of two or three cases this morning, which were devoid of any general interest. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, FEB. 17.—The Rhine is frozen at several places; among others, below Worms, at St. Goar. The Maine is also frozen over near Offenbach. _ The Chamber of Representatives resumed to-day the dis dussion of the budget of the Minister of the Interior, and adopted the three articles composing the 18th chapter—ma nufactures. At the opening of the sitting tomorrow M. Eloy de Burdine will bring forward his motion relative to modifications to be made in the corn-laws. THE HAGUE, FEB. 14.—The sections of the Second Cham ber of the States General have been engaged to-day in exa mining the projects of law on the elective franchise, and that on the practice of medicine and surgery. The central section has met to discuss the project of law relative to the comple ment of the budget of 1814 and 1845. The French mail of the day before yesterday has not arrived to-day. Several addresses have been sent to the Second Chamber in favour of the proposal of M. Thorbecks and others for revising the fundamental law. The Minister of Finance has given notice, that the total amount of Treasury bonds issued by virtue of the law of 27th December, 1840, and 19th June, 1843, which were in circu lation on the Ist of this month, was 2,535,300 florins. THE HAGUE, FEB. 17.—A1l the sections of the Second Chamber began to-day the examination of the proposal for a revision of the fundamental law. The Stoats Courant publishes a royal resolution respect ing the 41, per cent. bonds of the late Syndicate, which are to be pain off in series, to the amount of 200,000 florins each, to be determined by drawing lots.

EXPLOSION AT WANDSWORTH.—Yesterclay morn ing, between nine and ten o'clock, the inhabitants of the water-side, Wandsworth, were thrown into a state of considerable alarm by a sudden noise, loud as a clap of thunder, accompanied by a violent vi bration, which threatened the destruction of some of the old houses in that locality .It was soon ascertained that an explosion had occurred upon the premises in the occupation of a carpenter named Jones, and situate in Apothecary's-row. The windows of the first floor were blown completely out into the street, and some portion of the glass and sashes was carried a distance of twenty yards. Upon inquiries being made it was found that three of Jones's children, together with the child of a next door neighbour, were alone in the house playing. They had by some means obtained some gunpowder, but what quan tity or where from is not at present known. Whilst playing with this powder the entire, quantity, which must have been considerable, ignited and exploded. The children miraculously were not killed or even dangerously injured, but their persons and clothing were con siderablyburnt. The little furniture that was in the room was destroyed, and as we stated before, the window sashes were blown out. Mr. Grove, the parish surgeon, attended .the children, and ad ministered such remedies as are usually applied. VIENNA, FEB. 11.—A piece of Intel►igence has just become known which causes extraordinary joy here—it is, that hhis Majesty the Emperor has been graciously pleased to abridge the period of military service from fourteen year,' to eight years, in all parts of the empire, except Hungary and Italy. The time of service in Hungary, as fixed by the Diet, is ten years, in Italy It is only six years. - - - TDB SURPLICE.—On Sunday last, the rector of Hackney, the Rev. T. 0. Goodchtid, announced from the pulpit his intentiop, out of deference to the wishes of his parishioners, to lay aside the surplice in preaching, and other forms lately introduced into the devotional offices of the Church. He expressed his regret at the feeling which prevailed on the subject, but acknowledged that these novelties had caused serious mischief, by inducing many persons, warmly attached to the Church, to absent themselves alto gether from its services. This prudent resolution of its "ecclesias tical head" will place some of the clergy of Hackney in an awkward position ; one of them, who is held in high respect, having, on the introdtiction of the new forms, preached and published a sermon, in which he contended that the revived " ritual conformity" was "a divinely.appointed means of preserving Christian unity," and binding on the dug , ' ty the "solemn vow " wh i ch they made at ordination! MiLLIVORK AND MACHINERY:=A return, on the motion of Mr. Can:IWO!, the Secretary of the Treasury, has been laid before Parliament, giving an account of the declared value of al! millwor.l and machinery exported iloni the Cubed Kingdom in eack quarter of the years 1;41, 1842, 1843, and 1844.

ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY. We were much pleased, on visiting the Adelaide Gaiety yesterday, with a lecture on Atmospheric Rail ways, delivered by Mr. W. J. Hay. This gentleman not only possesses a vast fund of iiirosmation on the AO ject himself, but he also possesses the power of commu nicating that information in a clear and understandable form to others. The lecture is illustrated by a model of a railway, on which the carriages are propelled on at mospheric principle. On this model a small carriage drags a load of half a hundred weight up an incline of 1 in 6, with the greatest ease, and without any apparent loss of speed. Several gentlemen present put questions to the lecturer as to the principle of atmospheric propul sion, and as to the advantages which it possessed over the system at present in general use, all of which were answered satisfactorily—indeed, Mr. Hay throughout co.irted the fullest inquivr. During the present mania for railway speculatiena, this lecture cannot fail to prove attraeti. e. NEW SETTLEMENT BILL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sut,—The Tories, for electioneering purposes, made the first new Poor.law Act the stalking hobby—the " Bowl and Skilly" horse—upon which to ride. Mark their political vill—y ! Ever since they regained what they wanted— power, and to " landholder" legislate as, for years, they had done—directly we had additional new poor-laws ! Not con tent with this, the Tory Government are now actually hatch ing a furilmr poor-law, the effect of which will be to remove every chargeable poor person to their place of birth ! The Bill I have perused most attentively, and the more I reflect upon it the more the blood runs cold within my veins. Good God 1 every chargeable poor person to be removed to his birth-place ! Surely, for the sake of humanity—for the sake of Christian feeling this Bill will not pass hito law. I hope every honest Member in Parliament will oppose its progress —" obstruct," as the Tories did any good measure of the Whigs—obstruct its progress in the Commons ; and if they see it is creeping its ugly length along continue to obstruct and retard, as much as possible, so as to afford the public an opportunity of petitioning against it. Should this out rageous Bill become a law it is impossible to foresee its con sequences. I am, Sir, Feb. 18. AN ENEMY TO OPPRESSION. P.S. No Tories running about and getting spurious signa tures now against the poor-law. .oh, no ; their " friends" are the poor-law enactors now ; so that makes all the dif ference. OXFORD CON VOCATION. LETTER FROM MR. WARD. Eall'ol C 'liege, Feb. 13. Mr. Vice-Chancellor,—l entertain so much respect for the authority o' the House of Coivocation, when acting within its legitimate province, that I think a statement cf the rea sons which led me to consider ir: , posit'on in the University morally unaffected by what has 2essed to-day, is due to you and to all those sv..ao have been instrumental in promoting the censure voted against me. U: course lam not now re ferring to the act of degradation, the validity of Wei will be the suoject of leg . • decision. I refer to the former of the two resolutions passed in convocation ; a resolution which, as it in effect pronounces certsin theological propositions ' published by me (and to which I firmly adhere), inconsist ent with the Thirty-nine Articles, might seem, at first sight, to impose upon me the obligation of voluntary retirement from all those rights and privileges within the University, for winch subscrin lon to the Thir:y-rive Articles is a quali fication. Could Iba satisfied that convocation the true "itnnonens" he A• titles upon mem eis cf the University, •soasto be car Ole of au.bmitatively e::ermining the sense in which they oaght to be subscriber ; I should rot be dis posed to inquire how tar stfx , cription necessarily to be con sidered a continuing act, no: should I hold myself at liberty to subscribe any longer the sense which convocation has repudiate(:. I ,Liould in - that case at once relinquish my position hi the U.iversi - ty. • But 1 think will be obvious to every one, that my duty, uncle: such ci-cumstances, must depend essentially upon the . queslon, woet'2er convocation is the true imposer and the competent in-te.2re:'er of subscription, or not. If not, it is plainly beyond tz.!e power of convocation, either by the ge neral contlenitlil . .ion of any pat titular modes of interpreting the Articles, or by the exn - ress condemnation of that sense in which I myself subscrloe; to acquire any moral authority over my conduct in this respect. If convocation cannot rule affirmatively the sense in which metrhei•s of the University shall, subscribe, it necessarily :01- lotrs convocation cannot rule negatively the sense in eiliben of the Ur iversity shall not subscribe. Now it is weit known that the crestion, whether convocation is legal 'y capaole of requi:•ing members of the University to declaie ~ bat they suosci•ibe the Articles in a particular sense, has been lately Vie sabj.-ct o: consideration by legal authori ; and it has IL:•,an held by those authorities (nor, as far as I hes .eel disputed by others) that the Articles are imposed ; and e sense of subscription determined, by the law of . :ae land; end that the judges of ecclesiastical courts alone have the power authoritativey to declaie that sense, wale the Suoreme Legislat ure a l one h as th e p ower o f alter ing or adding-to it. Under these circumstances, great mid since: .e as is my respect for the House of Convocation, I can ' not ieel that any obligation whatever is laid upon me, in consequence of the events of this day, to act for the future upon a - 1y different view of sub:c - :iptiOn to the Articles, from that on which I have bither.o acted, and which is expressed in my woi•k and pamphlets.--71 remain, Mr. Vice-Chancellor, your :aithful servant, WILLIAM GEORGE WARD. OXFORD; FEB. 14.—Mr. Frederick Oakeley, Senior Fellos. of BaViol College. has addressed the following letter to the Vice-Chancellor, in connexioa with these proceedings : " Balliol College, Oxford, Feb. 14, 1845. " Mr. Vice-Chancello ~--s T be vote of convocation upon the two propositions submitted to it at the meeting of yesterday, seems o male it inoperative that I should address a few words to you Cal the view of clearing my position in the University. " I am anxious then to draw your attention to the follow ing passage in the preface to a pamphlet wnich I forwarded to you about six weeks ago, and which you acknowledg6d by return of post with that courtesy and kindness which I have ever experienced at your hands : " I have no wish to remain a member of the University, or a minister of the Church of England, under &lie colours. I claim the righ welch has already been asserted in another quarter, of holding (as distinct from teaching) all Roman doc trine, and that, rotwithstanding my subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles.'—(Subject of Tract XC. historically examined. acc. Preface, p. :iii.) " In a Tract which I put out during the last fortnight, I have stated that these wo •Cs were published' with the fullest deliberation.'* I appropriated and repeated them in that Tract ; and here, with the same teliberation'and distinct ness, I again appropriate and rept.: them. " A statement on the subject of subscription tantamount, in substance, to the above is made, as I need hardly say, in the course of the extracts from ' The Ideal of a - Christian Church,' upon which convocation yesterday expressed an opinion. And, as it must also be unnecessary tor me to ob serve, it is to this statement that I refer in the above passage where I speak of the right which 1 claim 't!eving been 'already asserted in another quarter.' " This right having been apparently called in question by the vote of yesterday, it seems to me quite necessary, with a view to the defence of my own position, that I should publicly state in what light I regard that vote. " I consider it, then, as expressing a certain opinion upon a series of extracts from a particular work, comprehending a variety of statements, my agreement with which I am in no way called upon either to affirm or deny, except in the single instance, relating to the question of subscription to the Articles, in which I have already declared that I t a k e pre cisely the same view o':t!le case with Mr. Ward. Had the cen sure of Mr. Ward been limited to the single point of his state ment upon the subject of subsdription to the Articles, the case (as far as this part of my argument is concerned) might have been otherwise. But as this statement is only involved in a commendation with a variety of others, it itr impossible, as I conceive, to determine wnether, in the minds of the proposers and ratifiers of the measure, all the extracts are considered to be at variance with the' good faith' of the author's sub scription, or only some of them, and if some only, then which in particular of the whole number. I consider, therefore, that convocation, in expressing an opinion upon these passages, has by no means necessarily made any declaration with re spect to the question of subscription in particular, so as to affect those, who, like myself, while appropriating Mr. Wards's view of subscription, do not appropriate (nor yet disclaim) other sentiments expressed in the selected pas sages. But if, in the judgment . of the Board over which you preside, and of the House of Convocation, I have rendered myself personally liable to penalty by the declarations above sited, I am anxious' not to shelter myself' (as I say in my pamphlet) ' under the cover of supposed differences, as to this matter of subscription, from others who have been di rectly assailed.'—(Preface, p. xii.) If, on the other hand, I am allowed, after this plain and public declaration of my sentiments, to retain my place in the University, I shall re gard such acquiescence as equivalent to an admission, on the part of the academical authorities, that my own subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles is not at variance with good faith.' " But I am here arguing upon - the assumption that the House of Convocation has a power to determine in what sense members of the University shall, or wall rot, subscribe the Articles. I wish it, therefore, to be distinctly understood that my argument so far has been purely one lad homines.' I reserve to myself the power of disputing, if necessary, and at the proper time, any such claim on the part of convoca tion. I consider myself to receive the Articles at the hands of tbe University, solely as an organ and representative of the Church of England, and, inasmuch as the Church of England has nowhere declared against the sense in which I claim to subscribe them, I accept them under no other limitations than those which are imposed by my own conscientious belief of their grammatical meaning, and the intention with which they were at first put out, and are now proposed to me by the Church of which I am a member. " It is necessarily difficult, as I am sure yeu will perceive, to word a document of this nature so explicitly as its very purpose requires, without the appearance of presumption as well as disrespect. I assure you that I would gladly have embraced a different alternative, bad any one presented itself, which seemed to me equally consistent with duty both to the University and to myself. But I am deeply and deliberately satisfied that the course of frankness, whatever present inconveniences or miscontructions it may entail, is at once the kindest, and the fairest, towards all parties, as it is undoubtedly also that which is most agreeable to my own feelings. And I hope that this course will at least have the effect of clearing from the very suspicion of insincerity, those assurances of personal respect towards yourself with "which lam most conscientiously able to accompany it.—l have the honour to be, Mr. Vice-Charcellor, your faithful humble servant, " FREDERICK OAKELEY, " Senior Fellow of Balliol College. "The Rev. the Vice-Chancellor, &c." * A Few Words to Members of Conv . ocation, on Mr. Ward's Case. --- PALL OF PART OF AN IRON ROOF.—Considerable alarm was excited in Salford, on Saturday morning last, by the fall of the grdatest portion of the roof of one of the buildings of the Man chester Bonding Warehousing Company, Chapel-street, which for many years was used as the cotton warehouse, in connexion with the mill of Messrs. Philips, Lee, and Co. The gable-end of this building fronts Chapel-street. The building is about one hundred and twenty feet in length and forty feet wide. The roof was an old cast-iron one, much decayed, and was supported by two ranges of iron columns (the building .bel, g fire-proof ), dividing the building longitudinally into three bays. These columns were very slight, and from iron cnps, let into the top of these pillars, very light principals of cast iron were carried, .at a shallow spring, to support the roof, or rather roofs, for it was in three divisions. Several workmen and others were upon the roofing, which was undergoing re pairs, when about twenty Initiates before eleven o'clock, the whole of the division next the yard of the premises :fell at once, with a loud crash, and this dragging the tie• rods down, dislodged the pillars on one side of the centre bay, about a third of the roof of which next fell, followed by a rather larger proportion of that of the other outer bay ; so that, in all, about two-thirds of the roofing fell. Fortuflately, no one was in the uppermost room, which was quite empty. It was also fortunate that, a short time since, this room had been celled with plaster, the ceiling supported by beams, &c., wholly independent of the roofing, so that this broke the fall, and rendered it less destructive to the floor than so great a weight of iron must otherwise have proved. One man, named James Liptrot, a hired porter, was much hurt, receiving several cuts, wounds, and bruises, about the head and face. Amongst the individuals on the roof was a clerk of Mr. A. Mills, architect, who escaped without injury. U.on inspection, yesterday, it was found that nearly all the cast Jr:al:cups in one range of pillars had been cracked or torn, appa rently for a long time, by some severe shock or strain, and one of the principals was also broken. The cast Iron beams were exceedingly slender ; and being only an inch and three-quarters deep, half uu tack thick, and Wm foot is 101i5t4.7-0“/Ick4Or - , MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDit ) • ) EXCI-Z GE Although the supply of CORN English Wheat he N re was by no mean...lx:eel, the demand for that article was heavy, at barely Monday's 11.1 ,0 e Foreign Wheat was a mere drug, and almost nominal in value , same may be said of Grain under lock.
