FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY._ STANDARD.—We hope that some Member of the House of Commons will move that the petition presented last night by Mr. Sheil, on the part of certain Italian refugees, be printed. We do not express this wish from any respectful feeling to the petition or the petitioners, but from an opposite feeling. We look upon the whole proceeding as one of most unjustifiable impertinence on the part of the petitioners, and of indiscretion at least on the part of the Right llonourable Gentleman who presented such a petition from such persons. The petition, as far as we can understand it from the account given by the reporters, un waches the veracity of Lord Aberdeen or Lord Seaton, or both. Now, such a mode of replying to a Minister, even on the part of Englishmen, would be held to be uncourteous. An Englishman, wronged by a mis-statement, would be expected to state the wrong to some Member of Par liament, and leave the subject to his management and discretion ; he would not dare to offer an insolent libel to either. House of Parliament under the pretext of a petition, even were he himself concerned, much less where he had no personal interest whatever in the matter. But here are a knot of Italian fugitives, living on sufferance in this country, about whom nobody knows anything, and whom, therefore, we will not call vagabonds any more than we will admit them to be necessarily, respectable persons. Here are these persons, presuming to take liberties with the character of the public servants of the country, such as no Englishman would take, and such as no Member of Parlia ment would aid an. Englishman in taking. Surely the House of Commons ought, for the sake of its own character, to look carefully into the affair—let the petition be printed— let the petitioners be ascertained to exist (for even this is doubtful)—let their character and original status be inquired into, and the nature of the crime for which they were driven from their own country, and then let them be required to support the allegations of their petition at the bar of the House. It may be relied upon that we shall have plenty more such petitions, if the House does not take some order in the affair. GLOBE.—The Customs Duties Bill will be proceeded with this evening; in the order in which each item is found in the list the entire removal or modification of the import duty upon the respective articles included in the Bill will be brought under the consideration of the House. In connexion with the reduction in the sugar duties, the appeal of the sugar re finers for a drawback on so much of their stock in hand 'as shall be remaining in their sugar houses at the time the reduced duties come into operation, will be brought, by petition, before the House of Commons. A copy of the case and of the petition founded on it are before us. If the facts stated be supported by evidence—and the sugar refiners offer to adduce evidence to substantiate their statements either before a Committee or at the bar of the House—there is a case embodying serious loss and positive injury to the parties, which the House of Commons is-called upon to prevent; and which, if not averted, will render the houses engaged in the sugar-refining trade victims to the financial policy of the Government. The grounds en which the sugar refiners rest their case are, generally, these :-1. The operations of sugar refining are slow; the refiners are therefore compelled to hold large quantities of duty-paid goods in process. The stock in hand will be depreciated to the extent of one-fifth ; and this diminution in the value of the stock of refined sugar in the several stages of refining, will, if the draw back be not allowed, inflict upon a comparatively few indi viduals an aggregate loss of many thousand pounds. Two members of the deputation who recently waited on Sir Robert Peel are threatened with a loss of 10,000/. each. 2. That this loss would have been prevented had the announce ment of the intended change been made in June when the sugar duties are annually voted ; or in April, when the finan cial measures of the year are ordinarily brought forward. If the Government deemed it necessary to conceal their plans, and this year to anticipate the period when the Budget is usually brought forward, the sugar refiners—who were in duced to continue their operations, unaware of the financial plans of Ministers—should, at least, be protected froth the serious—in many instances ruinous—consequences with which they are threatened by the large reduction in value of their stock in hand. It appears to us that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his financial exposition, has conceded the very point on which the sugar refiners rest their case. " If," said Mr. Goulburn, " as in 1830, the reduction of duty were made without notice that the duty would be altered at an early period, the grocers and refiners would be entitled to such redress as was then afforded to both." The refiners deny that any such notice was given to them. They chal lenge the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the proof. They are content to rest their case on the grounds on which he has placed it. The onus probandi is with the Minister. When ?—Where ?—How ?—By whom ? —was the notice given. The appellants cannot be called upon to prove the negative. They simply deny the imputed warning. That the notice was given is matter of official knowledge, and is capable of official proof. The petitioners call upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer for evidence. If it be not forthcoming, the case of the petitioners is admitted by the Right Hon. Functionary himself. The large amount which would be required to meet the claims for drawback has been also adduced as a reason for rejecting the sugar refiners' appeal. .__The reason assigned by the Government is manifestly an argu ment for the claimants. If the sum required be arge, then the refusal will involve the loss of that large sum among the refiners—few in number; and therefore each must suffer to an amount which individual ability will be unable to bear. sever before was the magnitude of a just claim converted into an argument against doing justice. In the case of glass, Sir Robert Peel expressed himself against allowing the draw back on the stock in hand. The manufacturers met, and determined on seeking an interview with the Right Hon. Baronet. He heard their case; inquiry and recon sideration produced a change in his opinion ; and the manufacturers of glass will have the drawback allowed en their stock in hand. The Government has here conceded the principle of allowing a drawback of the duty paid oa stock in hand. The rule which is set up, in bar of the claim made by the sugar refiners, viz.:—" It is almost the invariable practice, with respect to Customs Duties, not to allow a drawback on a reduction of the duty"—implies that exceptions sometimes occur. By allowing the drawback on glass, the Government has placed an interpretation on its own rule favourable to the claim of the sugar refiners. It will be for the Chan cellor of the Exchequer to show that there is anything in the case of the latter which can be justly and equitably urged as a reason for their not being dealt with on the same principle as that applied to the glass manufacturers. The sugar refiners ask nothing more. They ought not to have less. Corporation of London were treated with indignity upon an occasion on which it was most necessary that so essential a privi lege as that of the violation of which they complained should have been acknowledged and respected. The subject was ultimately referred to the Royal Hospitals Committee. The CITY REMEMBRANCE r, announced that a Bill had been brought into Parliament for the removal of certain disabilities under which the Jews were labouring.—( Cheers.) Mr. ANDERTON gave notice that lie should move, at the Court, that petitions be presented to both Houses of Parlia n.ent to pass an Act to regulate the interment of the dead in churches and church-yards, in large towns and cities, and pre• vent the violation of graves. Also to pass an Act to prevent nuisances arising from the smoke of steam-engines and fur naces in manufactories and buildings situate in and near the Cities of London and Westminster, and steam-boats on the river Thames. THE JEWS. Mr. ASHURST moved that the Court should petition Parlia ment to extend the relief given by the Ist and 2d Victoria, c. 5 and 15, by which Quakers, Moravians, and Separatists were enabled to make affirmations consistent with their religious persuasions, to all her Majesty's subjects. he motion was seconded by Mr. Deputy STEVENS, and, after a short discut , sion, agreed to unanimously. Sheriff SIDNEY presented a petition from the Committee of the Society for the Cure of Consumption and Diseases of the Chest, for a grant in aid of the funds. He ably supported the prayer of the petition, and stated that the hospital, although a very new institution, la ttd already relieved 200 cases. Mr. BOWER seconded the motion that the petition be re ferred to the Coal, Corn, and Fnance Committee. After a few observations from Sir PETER LAURIE and Deputy CORNEY, the motion was agreed to. BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES. Alderman JOHNSON presented a petition from the Com mittee for creating and promoting the establishment of baths and wash-houses for the labouring classes to treat for the pur chase or renting of part of Farringdon-market, for the first model establishment. After some discussion the motion was negatived.—Adjourned. lAVENU. Dress Boxes 55.; Upper Boxes 3s. 6d.; Pit 2s. 6d.; Lower Gallery Is. 6d. ; Upper Gallery is. Private Boxes to hold four persona 1/.

The Committee appointed to investigate the allegations con tained in the petition against the return of Mr. Somes for the borough of Dartmouth, sat yesterday, and proceeded to hear counsels' statement and evidence. The counsel for the peti tioner, Mr. Moffat, were Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, 111 r. Sergeant Kinglake, and Mr. Burcham • those for Mr. Somes were, Messrs. Talbot, Forsyth, and Colborne. The necessary forms:having been gone through, and the usual resolutions adopted, Mr. Sergeant WRANOHAM opened the case for the petitioner. He contended that Mr. Somea was ineligible to hold a seat in the House of Commons, inasmuch as he was a Government contractor, and that notices to that effect had been served in the usual way. Mr. Somes had been returned by a majority of 7—that was to say, 125 voted for, and 118 against him ; but notices bad been served upon persons to the amount of 40, so that there was no defect in that part of the proceedings. The ground on which the petitioner contended he had a right to be the sitting Member was clear and simple; it was this : —that any person connected in any way with a contract under the Government for the public service should be ineli gible to serve as a Member of Parliament ; and this was founded upon an Act of the Legislature passed in the year 1782, the section of which, bearing upon this case, he would now read. The Learned Counsel then read the sec tion, which stated, in substance, that in order the better to secure the freedom of election and the independence of Parliament, any person, directly or indirectly, connected in any way with Government contracts, either for the benefai of himself or others, should be ineligible to hold the place of a Member of Parliament; and that, if he should be elected, he would be liable to a fine of five hundred pounds per day for every day that he should sit in Parliament under these circumstances. The Learned Counsel then went on to say, he had been instructed to state that evidence would be produced to prove that Mr. Somes, before, and at, not after, the time of his election, was the owner of certain ships employed by the Admiralty for the conveyance of troops, and transports, and stores ; and that no subsequent transfer of the Hon. Member's property in those ships, or no transfer of it at the time of the election or immediately prior to it, could save him from the disqualification unless he was in a position to show that such transfer was a bona fide transaction. The Learned Counsel having spoken at great length, concluded by calling Mr. Richard Fall, the Register of the Custom-house, who proved that Mr. Somes had transferred shares which he held in certain ships, to wit, the General Palmer, the Nautilus, the Pestonjee Bomanjee, the Princess Royal, Sir George Seymour, Java, La Belle Alliance, and the Cadette, on and up to the 17th of December, 1844 (a short time prior to the election), to his nephew, and other persons ; and that there were other ships, his shares in which he had dis posed of, now at sea. Mr. John James, clerk in the Admiralty-office, proved the execution of the charter-party of each ship, the departments they were engaged in, and the sums paid for their services. Some 'Additional corroborative evidence having been gone into. the Committee, at Four o'clock, adjourned till this day at Eleven. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. On Thursday a Court of Common Council was held for the dispatch of pubic business. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO CHRIST'S HOSPITAL. Mr. LOTT having complained of a breach of the privileges of the Court, involved in the arrangements made by the Presi dent and Treasurer of Christ's Hospital, for the reception of her Majesty at Christ's Hospital on Sunday evening last, The LORD MAYOR read the whole of the correspondence on the subject, from which it appeared that although the chief magistrate asserted his station as head of the City hospitals, and claimed to be joined with the President and Treasurer in the ceremony of receiving the Queen, the application was in effectual. Some of tl•.e members of the Court expressed much dissatis faction at the proceedings adopted by those who superin tended the arrangements, and evidently considered that the IRELAND. DUBLIN, MARCH 11—THE ROYAL VISIT—We believe it may . be now safely stated that the annual report respecting the intention Of the Queen to visit her Irish subjects is no longer a matter of speculation, but that this long-expected event will actually take place in the autumn of the present year, or perhaps at an earlier period, if circumstances permit. Indeed, from the signs of preparation already making, there can be but little doubt that the authorities here have received an intimation of her Majestys gracious intentions, in confirmation of which it may be mentioned that a few days since the Hon. and Very Rev. Dean Pakenham (brother in-law of " the Duke") applied to the Board of Ec clesiastical Commissioners for a' grant of money for the purpose of decorating the Cathedral of St. Patrick, and putting the grand reception-room in a state of thorough repair, in anticipation of her Majesty's honouring that ancient cathedral by her presence at diline service. The application was immediately acceded to, and workmen . are now busily engaged in making the alterations suitable to the auspicious occasion. PUSEWSM IN ULSTER. Several meetings are about to ba held in the diocese of Down and Connor, "to protest against the innova tions attempted to be introduced into the Church ser vice." The great majority of the clergy of the diocese are anti-Puseyite, and it is stated that a petition to the Legislature is in progress of signature amongst them, praying for a revision of the Book of Common Prayer, the Canons, and Rubrics.

MAIDS or HOICOIIII.—A new historical novel is announced as immcdiately forthcoming, under the above title, which will afford, we understand, a most extraor dinary picture of the Court of England in the last cen tury. The scenes of Court life introduced to the reader are said to convey the most singular revelations respect ing the various royal and noble personag es who form the dramatis persona. Among them are th Court Beauties, who give the title to the work, together with the Royal Family, the Ministers, and the various great officers of the Palace, and some of the leading characters, fashion able and literary, of the period, which is perhaps one of the most striking in our social history. Much curiosity has been excited respecting the authorship of the work, which, f,)r obvious reasons, has been studiously con cea'ed. ~' THE ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO SHOOT PRINCE AL. BERT.—As many reports are at present afloat regarding this alleged attempt to assassinate his Royal Highness Prince Albert on Tuesday last, and these reports are all exaggera tions, it becomes necessary to disabuse the public mind, and state the real facts of the case, which are these :—The Prince left the Palace on horseback by the garden gate shortly after 12 o'clock on Tuesday noon, attended by Sir E. Bowater (Equerry in Waiting) and a groom. The Prince had proceeded about half way up Constitution-hill, when a man, who was standing on the pathway, presented a pistol (as it is alleged) at his Royal Highness. There appeared to be no attempt made to discharge it, and the action was unobserved both by the Prince and his Equerry, but Colonel Knight, of 29, St. James's-place, and a Mr. Arnold were on the spot at the time, and having observed what passed noti fied the same to Sir Edward Bowater. The man who had the pistol walked on towards Buckingham Palace, as did a man who was with him. Sir Edward Bowater dis patched the Prince's groom in search of a policeman, but he failed to meet with one until he Ina reached Hyde park corner, when he called police-constable Bolton, 57 B, to his assistance and took that officer with him to the Prince's Equerry. Sir Edward described the appearance of the man to the policeman, as did Colonel Knight and Mr. Arnold. These gentlemen also accompanied the constable in search of the man. He was traced, through the information of one of the park gardeners, to the little gate by the Duke of Suther land's mansion, but here all further trace was lost. The man was described as being from eighteen to twenty years of age, about five feet six inches high, of sallow complexion, with brown hair; he was dressed as a decent mechanic. The constable continued his search until he reached the Horse Guards, where he apprehended a man somewhat an swering the description given him, and took him to Sir Edward Bowater. That gentleman at once dis covered that he was not the individual who presented the pistol, and he was immediately set at liberty. All further inquiry has proved fruitless. A description was dispatched by route to the different police-stations. The opinion of those acquainted with the fact is, that even sup posing that a man did present a real pistol at the Prince, it was done without any evil motive. The Police Commis sioners have, in consequence of this occurrence, placed an extra constable on duty on Constitution-hill. It is a singular coincidence that on Monday night, about a quarter to twelve o'clock, as the Queen was returning from the French Plays, lh e called womana out, and in the act of entering the Palace gates, a woman th rew herself on her knees before the carriage, " Queen Victoria, save your country re moved in custody immediately. It was a miracle that she escaped with her life, as the hOrses were all but trampling on her, when the coachman pulled up. It appears this woman, who is about forty years of age, Irish by birth, and resides in the low part of Westminster, is well known to the police and soldiers on duty at the Palace, and has been many times driven away from the Palace gates. She was taken to the station-house in Gardiner's-lane, but after a short confine ment was set at liberty. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—The whole of the old Fleet Ditch, so long allowed to remain open as a prolific source of miasma and fever to the crowded districts in the neighbourhood of Cow-cross, on the line of the new street front Farringdon-street, has been covered over, so that not a vestige of the old river now remains. Great activity pre vails in the formation of the new street from Spitalfields to the London Docks, the whole of the houses in the line being pulled down, and the ground made ready for the erection of new buildings. The part between Whitechapel and Spital fields has been paved, the road is being made, and the gas lamps have been erected. An appropriate site, near Went worth-street, adjoining the line, is spoken of for the erection of a new district church. At the upper part of the line form ing Leman-street the road is traversed by the Blackwell Railway, over an iron bridge. In Leicester-square, the last house in the new street is levelled with the ground, and it is expected the road will be opened for traffic in about another month. ;,~ ~~ ~'~ u~~ CLARK'S ROYAL : WAX CANDLES !
