In have received many complaints from Subscribers who are frequently disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en tire!y with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is etillfurther aggravated by an extra charge of a halfpenny ( the Post !rile fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition. 71sis Edition contains the Latest Yews: Parliamentary Debates up to a luarter to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together frith the ' Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Official Prices of Shares in Railways, &c. ,kc.—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.

The House of Lords met at Five o'clock. Lord BROUGHAM presented two petitions from Trio- NAS Lulus and ANN WARD, who had been each com mitted to prison for a month, with hard labour, by the " in.ane magistra.tes of Leicester," as the Noble and Learned Lord denominated them, for non-payment of the costs of a summons which had been issued against them for non-payment of poor-rates. lle had understood that these magistrates had committed these poor per sons without a hearing. It was true Sir JANES GRAHAM lad ordered their liberation ; but he would put it to his 'TAU and Learned Friend on the oolsack whether it THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 5, 1845. Mr. WAKLEY moved fur a copy of the warrant of the Secretary of State authorising the opening of Mr. T. DUNCOMBE'S letters. The motion was opposed by Sir J. GRAHAM, and after a short discussion the House divided, and the motion was nt gatived by a majority of 51. After some observations by Mr. WILLIAMS and Mr. HUME upon the expense incurred in maintaining the Horse and Foot Guards, The House resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, and the Army Estimates were proposed by Mr. S HERBERT. Several votes were objected to and discussed, but ulti mately the whole w ere agreed to, and the other order s of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at a quarter vo One. We hail with unqualified delight the debate on the. great question which came bef9re the House of Commons on Thursday, and the large majority of 102 in favour of justice to Roman Catholics. It is the first great step to reconcile religious and political dif ferences between two integral portions of the British empire ; it will pave the way for future deeds of charity, and, we trust, convince the various sects of religionists in this country, that peace and brotherly love, and forgiveness and charity, are not only more pleasing in the sight of the CREATOR, hut are the only certain proofs that the truths ( f the Gospel have produced their just effects. We need not tell our readers that the Catholic religion, and its off. shoot, Puseyism, have not had a more deter mined enemy than this journal. We have uni formly opposed the tenets of the former, and treated as they deserve those traitors to Protestantism, who, under some hypocritical pretenue ) • would remain in the Reformed Church, enjoy the loaves and the fishes, and at the same time profiss, at first secretly, and then openly, the very doc trines which they denounced only a few years ago as damnable and idolatrous. But because the Catholic religion is considered defective and injurious in many respects, that is no reason why all its professors are to be driven beyond the pale of society, treated as worse than infidels, and made the bitterest enemies of tilt. Esta blished Church. The professors of no religion believe that others of a different persuasion are in the right path, but what madness would it be for the one to denounce the other as visionaries, enthusiasts, and men ignorant of the truth, because they choose a different road to heaven. The main point, however, is to ascertain what is to be gained by persecution. That system has been tried towards Ireland for three hundred years; it has utterly failed. To continue in the same course is tempting PROVIDENCE. It may, nay will, lead to civil war, the most horrible of all wars, and only make the wall between England and Ireland higher, the peop!e more hostile to each other, and leave religious pre judices stronger than ever. History, which is said to be the great mistress of wisdom, has taught English Protestants this lesion ; and woe be to those who, in these days, would renew contests which stained even the middle ages, and exhibited man as more savagis, more degraded, and less human that the beasts that perish. The speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL was admirable, and it was echoed in a g. nerous spirit by Lord Jolts; RUSSELL. Even those who opposed the Christian scheme, opposed it with mildness, and we arc willing to believe solely because they considered it their duty as Protestants. But these prejudices in time Hill give way. Justice will yet be done to Ireland and the present House of Com mons will have the honour and the glory of sealing for ever the anion between two powerful nations. The conclusion of Mr. Slimes speech was also excellent. He will be imitated by his eloquent countrymen, and Sir ROBERT PEEL every day will only be more encouraged to go on in the glorious path on which he has entered. " Assist," said Mr. SHELL, " the designs of PROVIDENCE, cure the misrule of centuries, pour balm into the nation's heart to efface pernicious recollections, awaken it to salubrious hopes, banish a splendid phantom, and sub stitute in its place an attainable reality.—(Hear, hear.) To do justice to Ireland, and to teach Ireland to appre ciate the justice of England, these are the objects worthy of a statesman conscious of the great duty imposed upon him, and of the capacity which G D has given him ; and I should turn with a disdain'ul smile from those who tell me that the maxims of government are to be found in the dogmas of a divine, whose principles, if they are carried out, would lead to the restoration of that fatal ascendancy of which we have had experience ; and I should be pre pared to fling the seals of office to the winds rather than be retarded in the completion of that great work which, laying the foundations in honour and justice, I invite him to the consummation of." It is gratifying to find, on looking to the list of the di vision. that the Liberals nobly performed their part, not fewer than 107 voting with Sir ROBERT PEEL. This is honourable to their patriotic spirits, and sheds a lustre on the principles of men who will not swerve from their duty to crush their political opponent. It forms a noble contrast to that of the old Tory faction, who considrred place not too dear at any price, not even at the expense of honour and principle. Madrid journals of the 27th tilt. have been received. According to some of those in the pay of the Government, the plot fur which twenty-six persons had been arrested on the previous day was of a most serious character, though, however, the prisoners are of the lowest class of society. It was said their plan was an imitation of the Cato-street conspiracy—to murder all the Ministers, and then compel the QUEEN to adopt their policy. A letter had been discovered which revealed the scheme, said to be of a most revolutionary character. The Eco del Commercio publishes the following Carlist placard, posted at Miranda:—" Attention! Royalists! The day of your triumph is at hand! Success to our companions in Catalonia! We shall soon imitate their boldness and their firmness. War to all liberal Jews without dis- tinction. Live religion. Live Balmaseda."

The intelligence from Paris possesses considerable in terest. The strength and courgao of the Ministry are reviving. M. GUIZoT made a bold stand on the Sardi nian treaty, and did not shrink from the ungracious task of demanding a vote for arming the fortification s of Paris, and success has hitherto attended both mea sures. On Wednesday afternoon the Sardinian treaty was adopted in the Chamber of Deputies, by a majority of 206 to 32, the Opposition having preferred secession to defeat. In the Committees appointed to examine the estimates for the fortifications of Paris, the Ministers also were successful. Seven of the Committees were favourable to the measure, and only two against it. M. TRIERS absented himself on the occasion, but he would have acted more honourably, had he manfully sup ported a scheme which for certain purposes he advocated while in power, and which he and the SOVEREIGN, in fact, carried through the Chamber. The works now, gun*, bombs, shells, bastions, countersearps, ditches, and all, will be ultimately completed, according to the original plan, and something more. The intelligence from Switzerland is to the 30th ult., and, on the whole, more satisfactory. The Governor of Berne was actively engaged in restraining the volunteers enrolled for the invasion of Lucerne, while, according to accounts from Basle Campagno, preparations for the in vasion were still going on. It was said that desertion from the Lucerne troops had been become frequent, and hopes were entertained that the Executive and the J esuits—the cause of all the mischief —would find it more prudent to yield than risk a civil war. The following is the reply made by M. Moussorr, President of the Extraordinary Diet, held at Zurich, to the note of M. GUIZOT, addressed through the Swiss Charge d'Affaires at Paris : "TO M. DE TSCHANN, CHARGE D'APFAIRES OP THE BITI3B CON/EDH. I&TION ►T PARIS. " Zurich, March 17. " Monsieur,—ln a special audience demanded by the Count de Pontois, the Ambassador of the King of the French, his Excel lency handed to me a copy of a dispatch, dated March 3, which he had just received from M. Ouizot, the Minister for Foreign Affairs. In performing his mission, his Excellency declared that it was not the intention of his Majesty's Government to interfere in the domestic affairs of the Confederation, and that the present step was dictated solely by the ancient friend. ship of France for Switzerland, and by a sincere interest for her independence and happiness. I thanked the Coun Pontois for this declaration, adding, that it was in that light I regarded his Excellency's communication. However, Monsieur, I consider myself called on, as President of the Diet, to transmit to you some observations, to which I beg leave to call your attention. When the dispatch of the Minister for Fo. reigh Affairs was written, the instructions of the States en the question of the free corps—au the subject of which it speaks parti. ctilarly—as well as the probability of a solution in conformity with the interests of Switzerland, could be known from the Ambassa dor. The communication of this dispatch, at the very moment when the Diet was on the point of taking into consideration mea sures relative to the free corps, was calculated to arouse the national susceptibilities, and this result was so much the inure natural, that some of the expressions which M. fluiv,t employed seemed rather those of an injunction, than of mere friendly advice. I shall : , n a d n e d n ewe which national not, however, point out the passages that have given room for of in the Minister for Foreign eminent deg d r e e l such i an interpretation, since I admit it as certain, as his Excel_ the e c i y the Ambassador declared to me, that it never entered into Affairs to hurt the feeling of the troubles which cah shefeeling respects whi c a h m o F n r g a s n t c o e t other possessesna tion ins . an f have lately atld'et d Switzerland have attracted i e the attention of Europe, it • just to observe that they have never in the slighte s t degree " Confederation, lam affected cmvin her int erna ti ona l intercourse.

WiNusorr, WEDNESDAY EVENING.— This annual sporting event attracted, as upon all former occasions, an immensa number of persons, not only from the neighbouring towns and villages within a circuit of twenty miles of Windsor, but several hundreds from the metropolis, who continued to pour into the town from an early hour in the morning, by the trains from Paddington, until past two o'clock in the afternoon, at which hour the weighing and saddling for the first race was announced to take place. At this period, the number of persons congregated in the winning and starting meadow, and the fields adjacent, could not have amounted to less than between 20,000 and 30,000. Three large stands, capable of containing from 700 to 800 each, affording a full view of the races throughout, were literally crammed with spectators. More than 200 carriages were within the inclosure, and upwards of 15,000 horsemen. The day, which was remarkably fine, was observed as e " universal holiday" throughout the vicinity. The sport came off as follows : The Grand Military Chase, of 10 sovs. each, 5 sovs. forfeit, for horses bone fide the property of officers of the House hold Brigade, the regiment quartered at Hounslow, and members or sons of members of White's Crockford's, Boodle's, &c.

Penrice's ch g Duprez (Saith) 1 Lord Glamis's b h Bucephalus Mr. Flemming's b m Danseuse Mr. Innes's b g Deception (late Fire King) 0 Capt. Powell's ch g Regalia. At the start Bucephalus took the lead over the hurdles and first rails and fence, followed closely by Regalia, who first cleared the brook, and kept well in advance the first time round the corner, being at least three hundred yards ahead on passing the Grand Stand, followed by Duprez next, and the others far behind. Regalia, who ap peared safe to win, refused the first fence leading off tha course, bolted at the brook, thus losing all chance of winning, and was walked back. Deception threw a shoe, after taki ng the brook a second time, and was pulled up. The race was then between Duprez and Bucephalus, both horses being neck and neck over the last three fences on to the course. Duprez won cleverly, by about half a length. All in this race were gentlemen riders, with the exception of the jockey who rode the winning horse. He was objected to before starting, but upon an appeal being made to the stewards, the objection was overruled. At the Grand Mili tary Steeple Chase, at Northampton, on Thursday last, Re galia ran second to the winner, Box-keeper, and was then beaten by only half a length. A Sweepstakes of 2 sovs each, with 10 added, by subscription, for horses that have been the property of farmers and tradesmen residing within 12 miles of Windsor, one month previously to the day of running, and to be ridden by the same.

COURT. MARTIAL AT UHAT Et AM ------------__ —Wednesday morn ing, at elev en o ' c l ock, a Court. martial assem bl e d, o f which Lieutenant -Colonel Kelly was President, to t r y Ser g eant Edward Jenki ns , One of the staff-sergeants at t he Invalid Depot, Casem a t e B arracks, Gillingham, upon t h e f o ll o wi n g charges :--First char ge —f or di sgrace f u l conduct in h a vin g , at St. Mary's Barra c k s , Chatham, b e tween the Ist of October , 1844, and th e 31 st of January, 1845, purloined portions of certain coals, being G overnment stores issue d to th e Quarter master-Sergeant, P e t er B urke, for the serv i ce o f the Invalid Depot at Chatham, afore sa id . S econ d c h arg e—for having at the place, and b e t ween the days mentioned in t h e fi rst c h arge , aided and abetted in the purloining of portions of the before mentioned coals. The prisoner, who was professionally as sisted by Mr. Jeffery, of Maidstone, pleaded not guilty. From the number of witnesses to be produced, it is expected the trial will occupy the Court several days. It will be recol lected s hat the above prisoner was tried at the last assizes at Maidstone for purloining straw, and found not guilty. The prisoner has also been placed before the county magistrates on the same charge that he is now taking his trial for, and, after a patient investigation, the magistrates dismissed the complaint, and the prisoner was discharged. The trial ex cites considerable interest. His ituyal Highness Prince Albert has sent a do nation of 25/. to the Royal Soziety of Musicians, hundred and seventh anniversa r y f est i va l v,lll be celebrated to-day. whose was ft that such magistrates should be longer employed in the administration of justice. The Loan CHANCELLOR said that if he should find that the conduct of the magistrates had been such as had been represented, he should remove them from the Commission of the Peace. In answer to the Duke of RICHMOND, The Noble and Learned Lord also stated that the parties aggrieved had a remedy against the magistrates by action. The Earl of CLARENDON then proceeded to draw the attention of their Lordships to the Oregon question, and concluded by saying, that be considered it was the dray of Government to maintain their rights westward of the Rocky Mountains ; and if the question could not be amicably settled, he trusted the Government would take such steps as might be thought necessary for vindicating the national honour of the country. Lord ABERDEEN, if he f ilowed his own inclination, would at once lay all the papers relating to this matter on their Lordship's table, and he was sure they would give satisfaction to their Lordships and the country. But the time, he thought, had not yet arrived for adopting that course. He thought the late PRESIDENT had gone somewhat too far when he spoke so strongly of the amicable spirit in which these negotiations had been conducted. The inaugnral address of the new PRESIDENT had no official authority, and as the twelve months' notice re quired for annulling the existing treaty could not be given before December, there was no immediate neces• sity for the production of any papers. The Noble Lord then proceeded to vindicate himself from the charges of pusillanimity and neglect which had been brought against him. He was fully aware of the blessings of peace, and believed war to be the greatest crime and the greatest folly that a country could commit. Fortu nately for this country we need not be so very sensitive in the point of honour, as some people appeared to be, but with regard to Oregon he believed that we had rights which were clear and indisputable. The Government were quite ready to make every concession which would avoid the necessity of any extreme course, but if they were compelled to take it, they were content to rest upon these rights, and with the blessing of God and the as sistance of their Lordships he believed they were fully prepared and determined to maintain them. The Earl of RIPON then moved the third reading of the Income-tax Bill, and went into a long financial state ment, with little more than a repetition of the state ments already made in the other House by Sir H. PEEL in justification of the measure. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE objected to the impo sition of an income-tax as a permanent impost. Lord ASHBURTON regretted that so little attention was paid to the state of the debt of the country. It was the duty of every Government to do all they could to relieve the country from that heavy load. He disliked the income-tax, because it was a tax upon capital, and any tax upon capital was a check upon improvement. Lord STANLEY thought that his Noble Friend (Lord ASHBURTON) lead scarcely done justice to the efforts which had been made by the present Government for the reduction of the debt. Lord MONTEAGLE objected to the financial policy of the Government, more especially as regarded the duties on corn, timber, and sugar. The Duke of RICHMOND did not object to the income tax so much as to the manner in which the surplus reve nue derived from it was applied. That surplus should have been applied in effecting reductions from which the agri cultural interests would derive some benefit. The Noble Duke complained much of the treatment which tke ag - ricultural interest had received from Sir R. PEEL, and concluded by moving an amendment to the motion. The House was also addressed by the Marquis of NORMANDY and the Earl of RADNOR, after which the amendment was put and negatived, and their Lord ships adjourned. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr. T. DuNcosinn gave notice of a motion for Tues day, on the subject of the Railway Department of the Board of Trade. In reply to Sir C. NAPIER, Sir J. GRAHAM said that he did not intend to persevere in the accusation which he had made against Mr. MAZZINI, on the sulject of the assassination at RODEZ, and had, therefore, withdrawn it. Sir R. PEEL fixed Friday next for the second reading of the May-nooth Bill. Lord J. RUSSELL then entered into an explanation relative to his statement on a former night, on the sub ject of the instructions he had sent out to Lord SYDEN HAM 'elating to the Madawaska settlement, and said that it was evident that Lord AsnurrltToN had, in animadverting upon his observations, fallen into a mistake which he (Lord JOHN RUSSELL) could hardly understand, for if these instructions had related to diplomatic negotiations, they would have proceeded from the Foreign, and not from the Colonial Secretary. He asked the Government if they would produce copies of the correspondence between Lord SYDENUAM and himself on the subject. After a few words from Mr. HOPE and Mr. Hum:, the latter of w hom urged the production of all dispatches on the subject, Sir R. PEEL consented to produce such documents as could be produced without detriment to the public ser vice, although he considered their production unneces sary, as the negotiations on the subject had terminated. Lord PAL3IERSTON denied the right of Lord- ASH BURTON to quote from any dispatches which had not been laid before Parliament, unless Government had given permission to- do so, and, if permission had been granted, it was contrary to Parliamentary rule not to lay the documents before the House. The question in volved an accusation against a Member of Parliament having made erroneous statements, and, therefore, was of importance. Sir R. PEEL replied that, if it were necessary, any dispatches which had been produced before the other House might be laid on the table. In answer to Mr. M. GIBSON, Sir R. PEEL stated that the Government made a proposal to the Government of Brazil, for continuing to British subjects in that country the privileges which they had enjoyed under the late commercial treaty of disposing of their pro[erty by will, and of enabling the British Consul to administer to the effects of British subjects dying in that country. Lord J. RUSSELL then rose to draw the attention of the house to the state of the Oregon question. If it had been left to be settled in the usual manner between the Executive Government of this country and that of the United States he should have waited in silence until the close of the proceedings, but the new PRESIDENT of the United States had adopted a course entirely new—a course which, if not met by something decisive on the part of this country, threatened to overthrow all the ordinary intercourse which should exist between the Executive Governments of the two nations, and leave the decision of questions of great national importance to be decided, on the one hand by popular addresses from the Government to the people ; and on the other, by a course which would put an end to all peace and amity. The present course pursued by the Government of the United States tended entirely to its own territorial aggrandisement, and was a direct contradiction of the declarations made by Mr. WEBSTER. The Noble Lord then went into a lengthened detail of the nature of the rival claims to the Oregon territory, proving that neither by treaty nor by priority of discovery hed the United States any right to the possession of it. He might be told that the Oregon territory claimed by the United States was not of much value, and that it did not matter much who possessed it. " Yes, Sir," (said the Noble Lord), " but I say it does matter. A large territory cannot be a matter of indifference, particularly where our title is better and juster, nor should it be yielded under such circumstances to what might be call the blustering announcement on the part of the PRESIDENT of the United States." He should not have interfered if the matter had been left to diplomatic ar rangement between Lord ABERDEEN and Mr. BUCHANAN, but he felt that a Minister, from his position, could not well introduce the matter ; and so he thought it right to tell the House and the people of this country what were their rights. With this statement he would leave the matter in the hands of the Govern ment of the country, and he would not express the smallest doubt that in all their proceedings they would duly consult the interests of the country and the honour of the Crown. The Noble Lord sat down amidst loud cheering from all parts of the 'louse. Sir R. PEEL was not surprised at, nor did he regret the course the Noble Lord had adopted, and he did not h her Majesty'sreserve, think the Noble Lord responsible for any ny consequences that might follow from it. As u a t _ hcroveeltrottmthteoenbte to state, s d t a u t t e y , e felt he must ne psapretako with f same time. theyper ate e , 0 e si but de r e a d t their s- a r n i l c o e n ssa th ri e ly i m n o l s a t n d g :t a e g r e min m e o d s , t th t a e t rn respect to the territory of Oregon, were clgears'anind unquestionable; that they trusted still to effect anamicable adjustment of their claims, but if, having exhausted every effort to effect that, their rights were invaded, that they were resolved and prepared to maintain them. This announcement on the part of the Right Hon. Baronet was received with the loudest cheering from all prrts of the House. The House was then briefly addressed by Lord rAL" MERSTON, after which the subject dropped. Ou the moticn that the order of the day for the House resolving itself into a Committee of Supply be read, SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vtibtic Optition, " Who runs may read." FOUEIGN. The boundary treaty between Fiance and Morocco has been sent to France by General Delarue, for the King's signature. The . . . . General will wait at A:giers for .he return of M. Roche, who is the bearer of the treaty, and will then go to Tangiers for the ex- change of the ratifications. The Ecbo of Oran of the 22d ult., contains a long account of the meeting between the Commissioners of France and Morocco, for the settlement of the boundary question. It appears that each of the Commissioners had with him a force of 400 men, and that there was a constant interchange of courtesy, without anything like ill.feeling on the part of the. Moorish escort. Dr. Wolff had arrived in Malta on his return to England, and proceeded by the steamer on the 28th ult. Intelligence from Alexandria of the 22d ult. states, that Mehe met Ali had return.id to Cairo from Upper Egypt, and was expected at Alexandria. It was presumed that during the Pacha•s stay at Cairo some definite measure would be taken with regard to the rai'road in the desert between Cairo and Suez, for which purpose fr. J. Galloway, the engineer, had recently come out to Egypl from London. The sale of Cardinal Fetch's picture-gallery commenced on the 17th ult., at Rome. An idea may be formed of the value of the collection from the fact that a landscape of Hobbema fetched 6,400 crowns (nearly 35,000 f.) A few days ago an English vessel from China went ashore near Etaples (pas.de-Calais). The crew, consisting of 17 petsons, were saved, and hopes were entertained that this would be the case also with the vessel and cargo, which were estimated at nearly 100,0001. ; but it appears, by an account of some of the journals , that they have been wholly lost. 3,AVir AND POZECNI. In the Sheriffs Court, Mr. Kemp, officer to the Sheriff of Mid dlesex, proclaimed the following persons as outlaws :—Robert Montgomery, Martin Alexander Farquhar, Mark Blake, Mortimer Percy Drummond, Charles Coghlan, Crewe Read, Thomas Elisha Bramall, and James Duthie. The case of John Brockenshlr was again before the Insolvent Court, and was adjourned to the 25th inst. The Commission of Assize for the county of Gloucester was opened by the Chief Baron and Mr. Baron Platt. There are about 70 prisoners for trial, and 24 causes are entered for nisi prius. At Liverpool assizes, William Jones, aged nineteen, was indicted before Mr. Justice Coltman, for the wilful murder of Richard Fair_ Clough, at Liverpool, on the 15th of December last. The deceased was a police-constable, and in his official capacity interposed to prevent the prisoner from ill.using a female, when the prisoner struck him on the head with a piece of iron, and killed him. The jury found him guilty of manslaughter of the most aggravated cha racter, and he was sentenced to be transported for life. John Hurley, a powerful young man, an apprentice on board the Duke William, a merchant vessel, was charged, at Guildhall, with absconding from the ship. The prisoner, who had been a mer. chant's clerk, but had taken a fancy to the sea service, seemed to have had quite enough of this his first voyage. He cried bitterly, and said he would never go to sea again, it was so dangerous. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes said he must go to the gaol or the ship. However, ultimately he remanded him, in order to give him an opportunity of sending to Cork to his friends, who are highly re spectable. A young woman, named Ann Crittle was brought up at the Mansion-house, for final examination, upon the charge of having committed a robbery in the house of her master, Mr. Howard, hemp-merchant, of No. 39, Mark lane, and committed for trial. At Southwark Richard Robinson, Robert Robinson, and Thomas William Allingham, watermen, were fined five shillings each for obstructing Captain Fisher, principal harbour-master of the port of London, in the removal of a barge, moored on the Surrey side of London bridge, and which was used for embarking and landing passengers from the steamboats. COURT—FASHIONABLE. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured the performances of the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, with their presence on Thursday ; being the fourth time they have visited this p .pu!ar establishment within these few weeks. The Duke of Wellington, :whose establishment continues in deep mourning, visited the Dowager Countess of Mornington on Thurs. day, in Grosvenor.square. The Nobl and Gallant Duke will c.,rn. piece his 76th year on the Ist of the ensuing month. The Earl of Haddington gave a very elegant dinner party on Thursday, at his Lordship's official residence at the Admiraly, to the following distinguished personages : Count and Countess St. Au • laire, Baron and Baroness Brunnow, Lord and Lady Canning, Lord and Lady Stanley, Duke de Broglie, Earl of Beverley, Lord and Lady Clanwilliam, Earl of Aberdeen, and Dr. Lushington. Vi.count Melbourne is expected to join the royal circle at dinner at Buckingham Palace this evening. The Duke and Duchess of Hamilton's dinner party, on Wed nesday evening, in Portman-square, was attended by her Highness the Grand Duchess Dowager Stephanie of Baden, the Hon. Fre. derick Cadogan, Lady Honoria Cadogan, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Stephenson, the Marquis of Douglas, Baron Roth de Schreckenstein, and Baroness de Stramfedir. The Marchioness Wellesley had a soiree on Wednesday night, at her Ladyship's residence at Rutlar.d.gate. The Earl and Countess of March arrived at their residence in Chesham-place, on Wednesday, for the season. The Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel receives a numerous party of his supporters in the House of Commons at dinner this even. ing at his mansion in Whitehall-gardens. MISCELLANEOUS. A number of workmen are busily engaged in commencing a great improvement in Lincoln's Inn New.squ.sre, which is to be laid out as an ornamental garden, instead of being an open gra velled space. A miserable-looking small basin, which was intended as an ornament, but being generally tilled with stagnant water, was a disfigurement and nuisance, has been already removed. The Noblemen and Gentlemen who have been educated at the Westminster School, intend to celebrate their anniversary festival on the 23d inst., at the Thatched House Tavern. A general court martial has been held at Woolwich, upon Ser. jeant Findlay, of the Royal Horse Artillery, for unsoldier.like conduct in telling a falsehood when accused of having contracted various debts with individuals, and then acknowledging that he had done so. The sentence of the Court will not be made known till approved of by her Majesty. We are informed, on the best authorit:,, that the Grand June— tion Railway Company, in pursuance of the policy which they have for some time adopted, have, in consequence of their increased receipts, proposed to the London and Birmingham Company to make a further large reduction in their passenger fares ; and that this will be effected at the same time that the increased speed comes into operation. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. Consols leave off at 99% % for Money and Account. Exchequer-bills were 595. premium. No effect was produced upon the value of Colombian Bonds by the acceptance, at the public meeting of the Bondholders held to• day, of the terms offered by New Granada, given some days since in The Sun.

It is somewhat difficult to conceive upon what principle it is that the Government of India is about to increase the du ties upon imports, cotton twist and thread excepted. Still we understand, by the private letters which have come to hand by the Overland Mail from Bombay, that this is really in contemplation. The Bombay Chamber of Commerce have been most active to prevent so absurd a proceeding; and no doubt the Committee of the East India and China. Associa tion here will very soon meet, to memorialise the India Board upon the subject. The course of policy of the Legislative Council is considered the more extraordinary by our mer chants, as it is so contrary to the movements of the home Government with respect to the tariff of Great Britain. The announcement has taken most people by surprise, and no doubt a vigorous opposition will be given to it here as well as in India. The intention is also most inopportune, as commerce, after a period of very considerable depression, had began to show symptoms of a rally, which had been hailed with much satisfaction by all parties interested in trade. We hear that the treasury at Calcutta is somewhat embarrassed. It certainly is not the right way to improve the finances of India by placing restrictions on its trade. The majority obtained by the Ministers on the Mayneoth grant has been a topic of conversation. Few politicians had thought it would have been so large. A good deal of interest is felt as to the result of the debate in the House of Commons to-night on the subject of the Oregon territory. We understand that the Caledonian steamer is detained for the purpose of carrying out the opinions of Ministers upon this subject, the debate upon it being fixed for this evening. The steamer will be kept back to receive letters posted to-night, as well as by the early mail to Liverpool to• morrow morning. Stocks are rather flatter this morning, notwithstanding the Ministerial majority. Consols have been 99% 1-2 for pre sent transfer; and 99% 1 / 2 for Account. Exchequer-bills have also receded a little, being 61s. to 595. premium. Bank Stock for Account is 215%. The Foreign Securities are dull. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 29% 31, and the Passive 7% % : coming rather better from Paris they have improved a trifle here also. Mexican are quiet at 357/ 8 ; Colombian are 1574 to 16 ; and Brazilian 88; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 63% to 63%. An extrasrdinary degree of activity continues to pervade the market for Railway Shares, the Scotch and Irish lines being especially buoyant, and the latter principally on the statement that the Queen will visit the Emerald Isle this su.nmer. The French lines are also buoyant. ONE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. 3 per Cent. Consols ... 99 1 / 2 1 4% Long Annuities to expire Jan. 1860 Ditto 30 years, Jan. 5, 1860 ...

GILES' 3% 5% 5% 10 4% 21% CAPTURE OF THE M URDERER. Considerable sensation was created last evening in the neigbourhood of Great Queen-street, Holborn, by the announcement that the murderer of the unfortuna te woman, Mary Brothers, had been captured in a court leading off the above street. We made inquiry on the subject, and found that the information we had received was correct. It appears that Superintendant Pearce , having received some communications on the subjects paid a visit to the lodgings of the party charged with this diabolical murder, and was fortunate enough to sr prahend the individual in question. His name is under stood to be William Cannon, his age is about 19, he is a smith, working with his father in the Haymarket• Superintendant Pearce, on taking the prisoner( into custody, informed him of the nature ° the charge against him. It is not stated in what way the prisoner met the imrutation• He was immediately conveyed to the Bow-street station' house, and messengers were at once sent off to Mr. Old' ham, the cutler, of High-street, St. Giles, and to the woman Palmer, the servant to the brothel, who attended very soon afterwards. Both of them, without hesita tion, identified the prisoner; the former as knowing hi ° , to be the purchaser of the knife found in the wound la the unfortunate woman's neck, and the latter as b' jog the person who accompanied the deceased and engage d the room where the murder was committed. We ar e not aware that the prisoner was in any way influenced by the recognition by these parties, but, as stated by Mr. Oldham at the invest, the prisoner is a young tve ll not more than twenty years of age, very sallow in coo' plexion, and nothing very remarkable in his appear ance. These are all the accredited facts that have trans' pired to this time respecting the prisoner. The matte!, of course, will be thoroughly investigated when be W ill appear before the magistrate at Bow-street to-morroo' (this day). LLOYD'S SHIPPING.
