ATROCIOUS MURDERS IN UPPER CANADA. On the 21st of January the following dreadful orders took place in the London district of Upper anada :—A man named Henry Sovereign called a neighbour's house, and pointing to a slight ound in his breast and left arm, said that there ere two men at his house, and he was afraid they ould kill his wife and family. The neighbour, fol wed by Sovereign, immediately went to the farm. 'he first object that attracted his notice on his ar eal was a little infant about three or four months d, burning on the fire; one of its legs was burnt T nearly to the knee, the back part of its head was mourned, and its body was much burnt. Near the earth lay another child in a state of insensibility since dead). By the side of the door was another, ► a sitting or squatting posture, having been struck ,► the head wi►h a bludgeon or some large instru lent, which occasioned instant death. A fourth 'as found out of doors at the corner of the house, Hess apd bleeding on the ground. About a rod om the house, in a patch which led to an old ovel, was seen a fifth in the same state. Nearly a )d farther in the same path was found a young roman, about 17 years of age, a lifeless corpse. In he yard in front of the hovel, lay the mother and nother little boy, close together, weltering in their lood. Close by the mother was observed the blade f a knife, all bloody. This was recognised as sovereign's knife. Sovereign, when other persons time to the scene of slaughter, denied that it was its knife, and took it out from his pocket, and it lso was covered with blood! Sovereign has long irutalized himself by intemperance, and had rev ered his family very unhappy, whom he frequently hreatened to kill. The bodies had the appearance , f having been dead some time before the ar ival of the neighbour. These and other circum taaces were detailed at the inquest on the dead lodies, and the result was the apprehension and ommittal of Sovereign to gaol. The Rev. Wm. lyerson, who relates these particulars in a letter, tates, that the day after the murder he called at the !ouse, where the mangled bodies still remained. le then gives the following harrowing description : Picture to yourself, stretched on one bed, close by he side of each other, all stiff and cold in death, a nother and five lovely children—the most of them very handsome—with the half-consumed remains of ►n innocent babe, three or four months old, in her irms. At the foot of the bed stood the aged tither of the lifeless mother, whose soul ap )eared to be oppressed with grief too big for ut ,erance—a grief that wrung and chilled the very Seart, so as to deny him the melancholy con ;olation of bedewing the cold remains of his :hildren with the tear of affection and sorrow. Was deeply affected with the old gentleman's itibmission and resignation to this mysterious thd most painful dispensation of Divine Providence. After sho;ving me the several places where the chil dren were found, and returning to the house, he took me by the hand, and with a faltering voice said, .4 My case is like that of Job—all my children are taken from me in one day ; but I must submit." By the side of the old man stood an elder sister and broth e r of the murdered mother, both of them over whelmed with sorrow. On being introduced to the woman she appeared to be incapable of restraining the violence of her feelings, but, weeping aloud, said 7" Oh Mr. R—, did you ever witness such a sight ? who would believe that any man would come to this ?' &e. Indeed such were my feelings, that after saying a few words to the afflicted friends I left the place as soon as possible."—American Paper. LITERATURE. FACTS ON IRELAND. BY William Stanley, author of " Commentaries on Ire land, the Cloncurry Prize Essays." DUBLIN' RICHARD MILLIKEN AND SON. LONDON : JAMES RIDGWAY. 1839. pp. 27. We have glanced over this pamphlet with con siderable interest. After investigating the in fluence of those peculiar circumstances in the financial, commercial, and social condition of Ireland, to which the excessive misery of the great mass of her people is commonly attributed, Mr, Stanley very ably endeavours to exhibit the true obstacles to her prosperity, and the ten dency of the various measures devised for pro moting it- He combats the prevailing opinion in Ireland, of the injurious effects of absen teeism, while he allows that absentees should contribute to defray all the national expences in Proportion to their actual incomes—an ob ject only to be effected by a general tax on net incomes in every part of the United Kingdotn ; and that they should be likewise compelled to prevent the growth of misery on their estates—an object also demanding a gene ral measure, a law to protect industry on every estate. He deprecates the prohibitory laws, and argues that the Union is not the direct cause of Irish poverty, and that the repeal is imprac ticable without a revolt that would cause a total separation. We have only room for the follow ing extract, comprising an outline of the author's remedial measures :- 1 mt. A law to relieve from tithes, and protect industry, as already suggested, and to establish, in every parish, primary schools for free education in rudiments and in dustry. The law to protect industry would compel proprietors to have a practical manager on each of their estates, who would maintain a model farm, exhibit the best system of cultivation, and provide the best kinds of seed and stock. It would also break up the pasture system, the true origin of Irish misery. 2d. A law to relieve the trading and working classes of the United Kingdom from the unequal and ruinous pressure of State taxes, by substituting for many of the present taxes, a tax on rents, annuities of all kinds, the in terest on the Public debt, dividends on the stock of bank ing and other companies, and the interest on bonds, mort gages, &c. This tax to be collected by means of a cenrage stamp on receipts, to be obtained under penalty by per sons about to pay income, previously to making the pay ment, of which the amount of the tax would be a part. 3d. A law to establish a uniform system of banking, on th e Scotch plan (paper currency excepted), for the whole of the United Kingdom. This would give Ireland the use of much capital which now goes annually to London, for investment, under the system created by the public debt, there being no mode of increasing banking capital, which in Ireland is absurdly limited by law, while in Scotland it increases with the wealth of the community. In 1826, the banking capital formed by merely the working classes in Scotland amounted to twenty millions : that is, they had, by continually pl icing their savings at the disposal of the bankers, accommodated their fellow tradesmen to this enormous extent. 4th. A law for establishing a general municipal system in Ireland. The corporations to be opened to all payers of local taxes—the whole of each county to be thus incor porated—the tax payers to assemble yearly in their re spective parishes in cities, towns and baronies, and elect representatives from among the principal rate-payers — these r epresentatives to elect at the first sitting after the Pawing of the law, a certain number of their body, to he marietrates for life, unless deposed by the Government for rni 'coaduct ; and all vacancies to be filled by election— thfeae magistrates to be elected in succession, chief mayors ° eac h county, and deputy mayors for baronies. The irepresentatives to determine on all local measures, impose ° • eal la ze% &cc. The mayors, deputies, and other ma- P. ltr ate", to form a kind of superior assembly, to fiat or relec . t the measures of the representatives ; also, to ad prisons, the local laws, superintend schools, hospitals, p risons ' &. c. Protect trade from fraudulent dealers, and be goardiana of t he poor and p rotectors of the working chola , . The taxes to he ac p counted for, annually, to Parliament. This law wo uld preserve and extend the beet parts of the corporation system of Dublin—placing the Lord Mayor over both city a n d county. ' It would however rern o vi , t h e old guild system, _preserving to freemen their lite in retests. It would also assimilate the Grand Jury system of England and Ireland, by confining grand jurors to the administration of justice. It would vest the appointment uf all sheriffs in Government, as officers of the Crown, distinct from the municipalities, like lieutenants of counties and their deputies. And it would ahlish all tolls and turnpike charges, enabling each municipality to provide for every local object by taxes equally assessed. sth. A law to declare that after the passing of the re medial laws, no statute, (except one amending or repealing old laws, or one for some object strictly local or private, even as affecting each branch of the empire,) shall be passed for Ireland, exclusively. This law would complete the identity of British and lOsh interests ; and the repre sentatives of each country would then act for the whole empire.

(Signed) The following note has been recommended by the Central Board to be distributed by all the Local Boards of Health of the Metropolis, to the Medical Gentlemen likely to be connected with cholera cases in their parishes : NOTE WITH RESPECT TO THE DAILY REPORTS OF CHOLERA. In order to prevent any misconception with respect to the na ture of the cases to be included in these Reports, it may be pro per to state, that by the word Cholera, is here to be understood a disease characterised by the following symptoms, viz. : A purging and vomiting of fluids, neither feculent nor bilious, with cramps and prostration—to which, in extreme cases, are added, a coldness and shrinking and lividity of the surface, par ticularly of the extremities ; with suspended pulsation at the wrist, and suppression of urine. It must, not, however, be supposed that the whole of these symptoms will be found in each even of the most extreme cases; for one or two of them are sometimes altogether absent, or so feebly marked as not to attract particular notice. This is more es. pecially the case with respect to young children, in whom, for in stance, cramps have hitherto been but seldom observed in this country, as a well-marked symptom of cholera according to my experience.

SUGAR.-The British Plantation market continuo very firm at the advance noticed last week, and as the holders con tinue to keep back their Sugars in expectation of a further ad vance in prices, the business doing is limited. The deliveries last week did not much exceed 2,200 casks. As the arrivals however were numerous, it is anticipated that an increase of business will occur. The general stock in the Port of London is about 15,000 hhds., or not much above six weeks consumption. Brown Sugars are quoted from 495. to 51s. per cwt., and five sample from 88s. to 955. per cwt. In Foreign and East India Sugars, little doing this morning-the Nlatket looks firm. Re fined Sugars are firm. COFFEE.-The firm condition of this market, noticed at the closing last week, has rather increased, and the total advance from this day week may be fairly calculated at from as. to 3s. 6d. per cwt. Coloury Brazil is worth 565., and good ordinary 535. 6d. to 545. per cwt. The fine ordinary Jamaica's, which a fortnight since only fetched 80s., arc now purchased at 84s. to 84s. fat per cwt. The delivery of British Pl an t a ti on f or t h e h ome t ra d e has fallen off in the first two months of the year about 900 hhds. as compared with the delivery in the periods of 1831 and 1830. The exports is unusually heavy for the time of year, and the stock of British Plantation is now only about 5,000 hhds. against 8,000 at the same period last year. RUM AND BRANDY.-The market for Jamaica and Lee wards, continues unusually brisk. On the whole, however, the home consumption is rather fallen off, but the export demand has increased largely. The general stock is about 28,000 puncheons. The delivery List week was again heavy for export, •iz. about 570 puncheons, and about 370 for home use. Brandy is worth 2d. per gallon more than at this time last week. INDIGO.-The purchases to meet continental orders are pretty numerous, consisting of quantities from 4s. to 4s. Gd. and 4s. Pd. per lb. TEA SALE.-The sale proceeds very briskly. Congous are still on sale, and realize rather higher prices than last quoted. BALTIC PRODUCE.-There is rather more activity in this market, and prices are at 425. 3d. to ea. 6d. per cwt. The deli very last week was 2,219 casks, and the stock is 18,810 casks against 44,650 casks at this time last year. Hemp and Flax arc steady. THE FUR TRADE.-The sale by the Hudson's Bay Com pany, which closed at the end of last week, presented some re. markable features. Fox silver skins sold from 50s. to 200 s. each, according to quality ; black Bear from 17s. 6d. to 70s. 6d., and some fine brown at not less than 131. 10s. each ; grey ditto at from fis. 3d. to I3s. 7d. per cwt. ; Otter skins sold at from 21s. to 325. per skin ; Lynx, cat, from ss. to 10s, lid. The sale went off very firmly, at advanced prices in most instances, the con sumption of Furs being mach increased. In the Cotton Market there is not any material alteration. Lord Fitzroy Somerset held a Military Levee this day at the Horse-guards, which was numerously attended. Died on the 13th, in Thetford -street, May fair, the wife of George T. Goodenough, Esq., in the 9:3d year of her age. The following notice was posted on the Chapel at Capmore, on Sunday .—" Mr. Wheeler take notice, as this is my last warning giving you, if you don't leave this land you may provide a coffin for yourself and family." Mr. Wheeler is a sub-agent to Lord Stradbroke on the estate, and his father was brutally murdered there about twelve months ago.—Tip.. perary Free Press. CARLSRUHE, MARCH 1.-411 many circles was the liberty of the press celebrated in the night of the 9th February, and Ist March. In the Museum a number of per sons assembled. A song, composed for the occasion, was sung, and a funeral oration.was pronounced over the censorship ; then the funeral procession took place. The public papers ex press their delight at the present happy deliverance from the slavery in which the Press was held. Our Government has taken measures that no more Poles shall pass through Frieburg as they have excited in that town extraordinary enthusiasm in their favour, COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke Duke of Cumberland honoured the Earl of \W.A. morland with his company at dinner on Sunday evening, at his residence in Grosvenor-square. . . The Duchess of Gloucester passed a good night on Sunday night, and was a great deal better yesterday. The Duchess of Kent and Princess Victoria walked for some time in Hyde-park yesterday. - • The Baron de Neumann, ;the Austrian Charge d'Affaires, transacted business with Viscount Palmerston yesterday at the Foreign-office, The Commander of the Forces and Mr. Mayers, the Agent for Barbadoes, transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for the Colonial Department. The Countess Grey had a very numerous evening pa.ty yes. terday, at her residence in Downing-street. The death of the learned and excellent Judge Lord Newton was announced in our second edition of Monday last. The circumstances attending his Lordship's demise it would be equally painful and unnecessary to detail. lie fell a victim to a disease to which men of studious and sedentary habits are peculiarly liable. Lord Newton is known to the country in two capacities; as Professor of the Civil Law in the University of Edinburgh, and as a Judge in the Court of Session.—Caledonian Mercury. The account in the Government returns of twelve cases and four deaths at Bailleston, is without founds_ tion. Three cases of cholera have occurred at Perth—all deaths. They were all poor people.—. Glasgow Chronicle. - - - It seems that 120 actions for damages have been brought Against the city of Bristol in one shape or another, and the total amount sought to be recovered is stated to be about 130,0001., as compensation for damage during the late riots.—Bristol Journal. TURN-OUT OF COLLIERS.--Tile colliers in the employment of the trustees of the late Duke of Bridgewater and the other coal-owners, with one exception, in the Bolton district, have turned out for a return to the wages from which they had been reduced about a month ago. Large bodies of them were assembled in different parts of the country, but we have not heard of any breach of the peace. An American gentleman has petitioned Con gress for a grant of money, and ten acres of land, on which he proposes to form a geographical garden, delineating accurately therein every part of the known world. The beds of ocean are to be covered with gravel, the land adorned with verdure, and the mountains furnished with such bases as geology points out, and the seas; lakes, and rivers so constructed, that they may be filled with water at any time ; thus giving a miniature represen tation of the world in its native eleme.,ts.—Stamford tier's.. The Warsaw Gazette announces that a shep herd, named Demetrius Grabousky, died recently at Potorski, on the frontiers of Lithuania, at the patriarchal age of 169 years. In a gravel-pit at Branciesburton Barffe was lately discovered the fossil remains of the tooth of a mammoth, which is full five inches in length and seven in breadth ; it is a great curiosity, and is now in the possession of Mr. W. North, Nelson-street, Hull. _ _ Yesterday the Tribunal de Premiere Instance delivered judgment in the actions brought by M. PfafFenhoffen and M. Magon de la Balue against Charles X., and decreed that their respective demands should be paid out of the personal effects of the Ex-King.—French Paper. The following notice is fixed up at a coach office in Paris :—" Passengers are desired, if they get down, not to walk faster than the coach."—Parrot. Two COMETS.—Dr. Foster calculates that a comet will appear on the Bth of May, and another on the Tith of November next. TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR.—In a fashionable novel the author says " Lady Emma trembled, grew pale, and immediatelyfainted." The printer putting p instead of f, ren dered it " The lady grew pale and immediately painted !" Stockport Advertiser. To RESTORE FROSTED POTATOES.—TiIiS is partially done by steeping potatoes, or any other frosted vege table, in cold water till thawsxl. A better and more effectual method has been discovered by a Cumberland gentleman. This remedy is simply to allow the potatoes to remain in the pits after a severe frost, till the mild weather has set in for some weeks, and allowing them to recover gradually. If once ex posed to the atmospheric air, no art will recover frosted potatoes. DEFINITION OF THE WORD REFORM, FROM THE DICTIONARY OF AN HONEST MAN.—" Reform—an adaptation to circumstances and knowledge, demanded as a right by all who are suffering wrongs, and only decried by those who are fattening, or have fattened, hope to fatten on abuse." GOOD NEWS FROM THE FOREST.--All the men convicted at Gloucester of the riot in the Forest of Dean have been restored to their families, with the exception of William James, and it is even said that he will shortly be enlarged. Trade in the Forest is extremely brisk, and has been so during the whole winter. The demand for labour is such that few of the workmen are getting less than from a gui nea to 255. per week.—Monmouth's Merlin. HORSE FOOD AND DRINK.—It is satisfac torily ascertained, that three bushels of oats or barley boiled, and the water given as drink, will keep a horse in better con dition than double the quantity in a crude state. Hence the innkeepers on the western roads in England hove adopted the practice. HONESTY AND GENEROSITY.—On Mon day week, a poor woman who resides in Skeldergate, York, being out of Bootham Bar, observed a lady drop her reticule, which she took up, and following the lady, presented it to her. She was pleased to receive it very graciously, and having thanked the woman, and politely informed her that it contained one hundred sovereigns, she condescendingly inquired of the place of the poor woman's residence, and terminated the audi ence by generously presenting the restorer of the bag and trea sure with one shilling for her trouble! !—Halifas Journal. BEGGING IN STYLE.—An elderly lady (for we believe there are now no old women) has lately been levying contributions on the benevolent in this city, on rather a novel plan. She was wheeled about in a chair, and from the respecta bility of her appearance obtained a ready interview with the mistress or master of the house she honoured with " a call." She then stated herself to be the widow of a surgeon in Oxford, with the additional et ceteras calculated to open the purses even of the most obdurate, and we understand she made what is called a good spec., as of course nothing less than gold or silver could be offered to such a parlour mendicant, though there are numbers of our own destitute poor probably more in want of, and with stronger claims for, relief. —Hereford Journal. A LUCKY SPARROW.—In the course of the present winter, a farmer's man, residing in Pilsworth, strewed some corn at the barn door in order to entice sparrows, whilst he lay in wait to shoot them. Four sparrows came to the corn, and he levelled at them; when, just at the critical moment, a hawk swept down and took one of them, the other three, of course, did not fail to disappear as quickly as possible. The man, disappointed at losing the sparrows, levelled at the hawk, and brought it down at the distance of fifty yards, and running to seize it, he saw the sparrow escape from its relaxed talons and fly away.—Scotsman. On Thursday, at four o'clock, afternoon, as had been previously arranged, a general fumigation of the town of Paisley commenced with chlorine gas. Porters, with chlo ride of lime, and large quantities of diluted sulphuric acid, were stationed in every street, and the visitors under/he Board of Health took charge of seeing these materials distributed to every family and place in the confined closes and lanes. About eight o'clock the fumigation of the streets commenced by the burning of tar barrels, the hurling of large tubs filled with chloride of lime and acid through the streets, which were stirred round to throw off the gas, and chafers placed here and there through the town, from which it was disengaged from its ori. ginal source (maganese and common salt) by means of heat and acid. As formerly stated, the inhabitants throughout all parts of the town entered heartily into this experiment for the gene ral good, with the exception of those who took the management of the 6th ward ; but, from the conduct of the inhabitants, it appeared as if in so doing they acted without the general con currence, for when those from the other wards went there with the fumigating materials, they were gladly received by the peo. ple in almost every tenement, who had these materials distri. buted amongst them, so far as they would go. What may have been the effects of this experiment we pretend not to say; but it is with no ordinary degree of pleasure we state that, with the exception of those previously remaining, the town has not been so free of the disease it was intended to check since its commencement. During the whole night and the early part of this day there is not a case reported at the hospital, nor did any death take place except one, and in that case the life of the pa tient was despaired of before the fumigation commenced. — Glasgow Chronicle. BONES FOR M ANUR E.—The exportation of bones from Germany to England, say the Vienna Papers, constitute a singular epoch in the annals of commerce. My riads of tons have been already exported without glutting the market, or causing a cessation of the demand. In the vicinity of the North Sea mills have been erected to pulverise them. 'This bone-powder, or bone dust, was long ago exclusively ap plied to the purposes of hot-houses by German horticulturalists ; but the English, emboldened by their riches, extend its use to general objects of agriculture, and fertilize, by these expensive means, their humid, cold, and poorest land; and have thus brought the uplands of Nottinghamshire, the western parts of Holderness, &c. into the highest state of cultivation, both in point of extent and intenseness of fertility. There is, conse quently, a proverb, "that one ton of German bone dust saves the importation of ten tons of German corn." As Malta for merly covered her native rocks with foreign soil, so does Eng land now fertilize her clay and sandy heaths with German bones. Near the sea-coast even the church-yards are robbed of their venerable relics, which is only ironically excused by ren dering the German bone trade popular. An agriculturalist, being rendered attentive by this vast exportation, instituted pri vately some comparative experiments, the results of which prove that bone dust acts in the cultivation of grain, as com pared to the best stable manure In respect to the quality of corn as 7to 5. 2. In respect to quantity as sto 4. 3. In re spect to durability of the energy of toils as 3to 2. It produces several collateral advantages It destroys weeds-2. It dimi nishes the necessity of suffering the land to lay fallow--1- This concentrated manure, or substitute for manure, is more easy of conveyance, less laborious to spread, and can with facility be applied to the steepest vineyards or other Inaccessible lands, either in mountainous countries or in wet meadow land-4. It renders agriculture practicable without cattle-breeding, graft -0/145 FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS. Lord Forester, at Belvoir Castle, from Milton Mowbray; the Right Hon. W.

Ewen was well known as the best antiquarian cicerone to all travellers in the Highlands. It is said that the Russian Ambassador at Rome has drawn up a protest against the French expedition into Italy, and that it has been approved by the Austrian Am bassador ; but the minute of approval is conceived in such am biguous terms as to show that it is merely to save appearances. Constitutionnel. The Superb steamer sailed on Friday morn ing with Portuguese emigrants from Falmouth, to join the expedition of Don Pedro at Terceira. As the Superb left the harbour a tri-coloured balloon was set off with the following inscription :—" The Portuguese emigrants at Falmouth leave the shores of sweet England with true feelings of gratitude." —Falmouth Packet. NEW STRAND THEATRE.-Last Flight the Dumb Brigand was represented for the first time at this theatre, for the purpose of introducing Madame Celeste. This lady personated the Brigand Chief, and also a Greek Sailor, and ap peared to great advantage, her dress and action being highly characteristic. At the fall of the curtain the applause was great, and Madame Celeste was called for by the audience. She accordingly appeared, and being not well acquainted with the English language, testified her gratitude by curtsies, and by de claring in broken English, that the drama would be repeated this evening. The scenery, music, and dresses in the piece were highly applauded. SADLER'S WELLS.-Last night this house was, at an early hour, crowded in every part, to witness the revival of Torn and Jerry. The whole of the characters were well and naturally assumed : Campbell's Corinthian Tom was a gentlemanly performance ; Foster, as .Terry, was amusing ; and W. IL Williams's Logic (introducing an entirely new comic song by J. Beuler) was the life and soul of the piece. The Distraining for Rent, founded upon Wilkie's celebrated pictures of the " Rent day," and " Distraining for Rent," ter minated the evening's amusements. COBURG THEATRE.—A new Drama, in three acts, was last night produced, entitled Paul Cletird, taken of course from Mr. Bulwer's Novel of the same name. The original has been pretty closely adhered to ; and most of the scenes are interesting and effective. The prominent cha racters were supported with great talent by Messrs. Serle, Simpson, Webster, and Gray, all of whom were so characteris tically dressed as to seem actual persons of the time in which the scene is laid. The piece, however, needs considerable cur. taihnent, for the double reason of its dulness in some parts and the unwarrantable time which it occupies. ROYAL PAVILION THEATRE.----The " ro mantic magical burletta," as the play-bills have it, called The Demon Father, or the Devil and his Son, was produced last night, and met with an excellent reception. The principal part of the music is selected from Meyerbcer's Opera of Robert le Diable, the remainder is furnished by Woolf, decidedly upon the style of Weber, and with no inconsiderable mastery. To give additional effect to the cathedral scene, a grand organ has been erected by Bunting, and it answered the purpose admir ably. Of the scenery it is impossible to speak in too high terms. The cloister scene by Leitch, from Edinburgh, is not inferior to anything of the sort except Stanfield's at Drury. lane. We have little to say of the actors. What Farrell had to do as Raimbaut he did cleverly, as usual. Freer's requisites for the Demon are sound and undeniable, and he played the part excellently. We give the following, which we have on good authority, as a specimen of the indignities to which our good Monarch is occasionally suluected. Some time since a Noble Marquis made application for an audience with his Ma jesty, for the purpose of presenting an anti-reform petition. His Majesty being at Brighton, named a day, and accompa nied it with a gracious invitation to dinner at the Pavilion, in timating that he would receive his Lordship with the address at half-past six o'clock, in order that it might not interfere with dinner, which was always punctually served at seven. The appointed hour arrived, but with it came no Marquis of —; and after waiting till half-past seven his Majesty sat down to dinner. At half-past eight the Noble Marquis made his appearance, and his Majesty, with infinite courtesy, with drew with him into a private room, and received the address. Whether the Noble Marquis ventured upon his usual round of invective we have not the means of ascertaining ; but we rather suppose that what there passed is best known and per haps better kept to the Noble Marquis himself. —Herald.

EUGENE ARAM, BY THE AUTHOR OF " PELHAM."—Mr. Bulwer, the author of the volumes now be fore us, has been for some time acknowledged as one of Britain's most original and able novelists. But his literary reputation is not confined within the narrow boundaries of the land or the language in which he has written his fictions. The fame of Bulwer has crossed the Straits of Dover, and traversed the German Ocean; for not a few of his works are at present to he found enshrined in the tongues that are spoken on the banks of the Seine and the Elbe. To acquire a British reputation in any of the walks of literature, presupposes the possession of talents of no ordinary kind, but for an Englishman to obtain a continental literary fame is the fate of few, and augurs for the most part the possession of that rare, though often misnamed mental quality—true genius. In 1829, a translation of " Pel ham," from the pen of C. Richard, we know, was printed at Leipsic, and a translation of " Paul Clifford" by the same hand, and published in the same city, appeared in 1830. In addition to these facts we may mention, that from a conversa tion we had last autumn with the able editor of the Literatur Blatt, published at Stuttgart, we were led to conclude that :he novels of Bulwer were held in the highest estimation throughout Germany, and in the opinion of several of the most accomplished critics, were considered in many points of view equal to the romances of Sir Walter Scott."—Scotsman. MEETING OF THE SPITALFIELDS WEA- N ERs. —Last Saturday night, pursuant to adjournment, a very numerous meeting of the journeymen silk.weavers of Spital fields and its vicinity took place at the Camden's Head, Bethnal green-road. It appeared that the late victory obtained in the House of Commons over Mr. Poulett Thompson and the advo cates of a free trade system, by the appointment of a Committee of Inquiry to examine into the real causes of the distress in the silk trade, has had the effect of raising the drooping spirits of the silk-weavers; and if a judgment were to be formed from tire beaming smile on their countenances, all their late distress and misery seemed to be forgotten. The main object of the meeting was to select witnesses to go before the Committee ; and although no official summons has yet been issued, still they are daily expected. Several excellent speeches were delivered, during which the admirers of the Ricardo school of a free trade system came in for a share of public indignation. The meeting then separated.—Morning Paper. LEECH'S BANKRUPTCY.--An adjourned meeting of creditors under the fiat of bankruptcy issued against Mr. Leech of the London Coffee-house, took place yesterday at the Court of Commissioners, when the bankrupt was privately examined and some debts proved. Amongst them was one by Alderman Copeland for China, &c. The total amount is calcu lated at 100,000/. DOMESTICATED OTTER.—About a year ago, Mr. Lauglison, Burnside of Dunscore, captured a pair of young otters in a cleft of the bank of the Nith, near Dalswin ton. One of them died shortly after its admission into civi lized society, but the other has thriven nearly as well as if tinder the tutorage of its natural guardians, and at the present time is the greatest natural curiosity in the district. In the early days of its captivity, Mr. Laughlison sent the otter to mess with his collie, and though it agreed with the fare pass ing well, her ottership early showed a predilection for aquatic exercises, and may now be considered one of the best fishers in the Nith. The first fish it will on nto account part with, and Mr. Laughlison considers it as much as his fingers are worth, to attempt using an argument per force in this case ; but all succeeding spoils are willingly rendered up. Water-hens, eels, frogs, &c., are all regarded as prey in the otter's vocabulary, and, in short, when on her amphibious prowl, all is fish that comes in', the net. She is noted as a worrier, but yet displays no fear of the evinces a novel penchant for wagg i shness , and has been ob. canine race_disports in the same lake with her m aster ' s do g s, cur, and get safely ferried to the landing place. Mr. Laugh lison has bestowed considerable pains in the tuition of his dumb protege, and is requited by all the attachment that is known to an otter's heart ; she follows hint about, fondles him with many winning, arts, and but for the stickling anent the first fish, might be regarded as in a better course of training than a SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

HIS MAJESTY'S STUD. The horses in training, ten in number, will be sold at New market on Wednesday in the Craven Meeting ; the yearlings (nine) at Tattersall's, in May.

The arrangement of the conditions is left by his Majesty to the Jockey Club. We hope they will not make it so exclu sive as the Newmarket Challenge Cup ; a prize of this descrip tion ought to be open to all competitors. Mr. WARBURTON'S' ANATOMY BILL. The members of the Wurce.ter Political Union met on the evening of Monday, Feb. 27, and unanimously agreed to the following petition to the House of Commons against the above Bill : Humbly sheweth—That your petitioners have read a Bill now before your Honourable House, called a " Bill for regulating Schools of Anatomy," and from many objections to the provi. sions of that Bill, feel themselves called upon to petition your Honourable House upon the subject. That your petitioners beg to avow their sincere pleasure at every advancement made in the arts and sciences, which have raised this country to such superior eminence ; that they rejoice at every means which is calculated to ameliorat the condition of society, and to detract from that sum of human misery, pain, and affliction to which mankind are necessarily, or accidentally sub jec• ; but still the feelings of humanity and the voice of mercy alike dictate that such benefits should only be sought to be pro moted by proper sad benevolent means. That your petitioners have heard, with feelings of the deepest regret and horror, of the inhuman and murderous manner in which subjects for anatomy have lately been obtained ' • and should consider that a wise and benevolent measure which should abolish or prevent such base and perfidious practices; and, although the aforenamed Bill professes that object, your peti tioners are of opinion that the operation of the Bill will be the reverse ; and tend, by legalizing the sale of dead bodies, to ac celerate, in a most frightful degree, such crimes as those which very recently filled the public mind with such abhorrence and indignation. The most diabolical crimes might, and no doubt will be perpetrated, should this Bill become a law, and the agents of the dead seek protection from punishment in the pro visions of the Bill ; while at the same time it holds out strong inductive motives, by allowing commerce in dead bodies, for the commission of the most revolting atrocities. Your petitioners beg to direct the attention of your Hon. House to the facility afforded, and the prevention from detection given, to the prac tice above alluded to, by allowing persons having, as one of the clauses stated, the;lawful possession of the body, to vend it; they beg to refer to late occurrences in the metropolis, which have proved that the most eminent medical men have been deceived in the opinions they gave as to the cause of the death of one of those unfortunate individuals who was murdered for the price of the body. That yonr petitioners are of opinion that that part of the Bill contained in clause seven, relative to the disposal of unclaimed bodies, is calculated to embitter the minds of the poorer classes against the Legislature and the higher ranks ofsociety, inasmuch as such as are unfortunate and compelled to seek refuge and sup port in a work-house, are in the almost certain prospect of having their bodies given over for dissection, and thereby adding a ten fold pang to that misery already produced by poverty and mis fortune; which circumstances render them proper objects for Legislative protection and sympathy, and not legal subjects for the dissecting knife; an infliction of punishment which has hitherto been reserved for the murderer, to stamp, it possible, a greater dread and stigma up cn the mind of the culprit, as a severer penalty for his offence ; and it has come under the personal notice of some of your petitioners, who have been attentive observers of the trial of murderers, that, while that part of their sentence relative to the forfeiture of their lives has been pronounced by the Judge has failed to produce the least sensation or uneasiness, yet, when reminded that their bodies were to be given up for dissection, have been paralysed and deeply affected. It may be replied that ignorance and prejudice arc the causes why the poor have such objections to it; admitting this to be partially the case, your petitioners beg to suggest, if, under snch circumstances, it would not be better to remove this is norance and prejudice, which has been engendered and fostered by bad legislation. With regard to the bodies of unclaimed paupers and others (for that is the principal class of persons meant, although much affection and disguise is used in the wording of the Bill to hide that phrase) not being legal subjects for the use of tke surgeons if they should at any time previous to their death, before witnesses, have declared their unwillingness for their bodies to undergo such a process, it is easily discernible that any breach of this enactment may be evaded by clausethirteen of the Bill. That there is another point in the Bill to which your peti tioners beg respectfully to call the attention of your Honourable House. Should this Bill become an Act of Parliament, the law of the land will not only sanction and approve, at least towards part of his Majesty's subjects, the practice of that which, at present, is only enforced upon the most desperate and abandoned characters, but bring into contempt the burial service of the Established Church of this country, which she teaches us to be lieve is essentially necessary to a correct performance of our Christian duty, and of the greatest importance ; and the natural inference will be that if the law of the land authorises the dis. lensing of that service with regard to part of his Majesty's sub jects, it cannot be of much consequence to any ; and then if that ritual is not essential, neither are any of them, and thus even religion itself may be brought into contempt thereby. We are likewise taught from Scripture, in innumerable instances, as well as by the practice of all nations in all ages of the world, that the greatest respect always has been paid to the remains of the dead. • That your petitioners, after viewing the Bill in all its pro visions, in the most calm and impassionate manner, cannot but consider it as cruel, inhuman, and unjust in the greatest degree. That while your petitioners deprecate the Bill against which they now petition, they should feel, with the community at large, very grateful to your Hon. House, it you would devise some means whereby such atrocious crimes as have lately been committed, might be prevented ; and it appears to your peti tioners, from documents which are published, that it lies within the reach of the Legislature. Your petitioners are not insensibla to the great importance of medical and surgical science, and of the necessity there is that every practitioner should be well ac quainted with anatomy, and the symptoms of disease, in order to a right application of medicine and proper treatment of his patient, which can only be obtained by the use of bodies. If your lion. House would direct your attention to a revision of the public hospitals of this kingdom, there is no doubt but a vast amount of medical and Surgical knowledge might be acquired by making them accessible to any of the profession, and the conse quence would be that the temptation to commit those horrible offences would cease, because a demand for subjects would no longer exist, or, at least, not in any thing like the degree it now does. Your petitioners do most humbly pray and beseech your Hon. House, that, at all events, you will not allow such a Bill as the before-mentioned to disgrace the statute laws of this kingdom, but to alter, amend, and improve it, or to -reject it altogether, as in your wisdom you may deem proper. We hear that Mr. Maule, solicitor to the Treasury, will be in Bristol next week, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements preparatory to the judicial inquiry about to be instituted into the conduct of the magis trates of that city during the late riots. A report, it is said, will shortly appear from a Committee of merchants and bankers, who have undertaken to investigate the means possessed by the corporation towards liquidating the damages occasioned by the late riots. The Board of Directors of the Chamber of Com merce, at their regular monthly meeting, held on Monday, re. solved on addressing a memorial to the magistrates, praying them to postpone making their intended rate until they had first published their accounts. It is said that 1:9 actions have been brought against Bristol, for damages, in one shape or another, and the total amount sought to be recovered is stated t• be about. ia0,0001,—.81 1 / 1 Affrold 20 Pe Ceto . ~.. , t is .-- 3 ,-- ' ' ,. , : x, , i ‘. 1 :11•X- i t . . , -i- A, ,, , e 4. -,1 (ftEcEIYED THIS MORNING.) \... . --- 1::: . ,... , -:• : - .._. s .4 . 11ca. 4 The Assizes for this county commenced to- , ...,:...-- 1 -7-".4.4L ... Comission being opened on Saturday. About ten olliablElo:iri:a -the Judges (Barons VAricitArs and GURNEY) entered the Court and took their seats on the bench. Mr. Baron GURNEY presided in the Criminal Court. Just as the Court was opened an incident occurred which created strong feelings of astonishment and indig nation. The press of people when the Court opened was very great,'and before the Judges were seated, it was an nounced that the servant of one of the Members of the bar (Mr. Sergeant STORKES), had had his pocket picked upon the stairs, of his pocket book, containing SO/. of country bank notes! The poor fellow seemed in a sad fright, and though he was making every exertion to discover the per son who had robbed him, I did not hear that he had found him up to the period of the Court being adjourned. The attendance of the Grand Jury was very numerous. Mr. Baron GURNEY proceeded to address them, and ob served upon the graver nature of the offences in the Calendar, especially one of ripe, and four of arson. His Lordship next adverted to the circumstance of the robbery which had been, as it were, committed under' his nose ; and in no very calm mood, threatened, if the offender were brought before him and found guilty, that he should not have reason to boast much of the mercy of the Court. Several burglaries were tried. There were also several petty larcenies disposed of. The disproportionate nature of the learned Baron Gurney's sentences to-day excited some remark. For instance,--one female prisoner found Guilty of stealing a purse containing five shillings was transported for life, while other prisoners who were found Guilty of stealing to a much greater amount, were awarded lighter punishments. In one case, particularly, where it seemed the prisoner had been twice tried before, the sen tence was only seven years transportation. In two ofthe arson cases, the Grand Jury have thrown out the Bills, and the Bill in the rape case also has not been found. CAMBRIDGE ASSIZES, MAni Two cases of arson, one or two of child-stealing, and one or two of assault, stand for trial to-soorrow. There is a good deal of remark about the case of the late gaoler at Huntingdon, but it ix yet uncertain whether the legal point for consideration will terminate in his favour. ARRIVAL OF MR. O'CONNELL, M.P. IN CLONMEL. (From the Tipperary Free Press of Saturday, March 10.) The Liberator, accompanied by his distinguisl:ed and patriotic son-in-law, Counsellor Fitzsimnn, arrived in his travelling barouche at the Great Globe Hotel, about three o'clock on yesterday very unexpectedly, and immediately proceeded to Mr. Bianconi's residence, Blain-street, fol lowed by a multitude of persons who rent the air with the loudest acclamations. Mr. O'Connell was soon after visited by several gentlemen, and after lunch, appeared at the centre drawing-room window, where his presence was hailed by the people with the greatest enthusiasm ! In the drawing-room we noticed, besides the worthy host and fair hostess, the Rev. Mr. Brennan, Mr. R. and Miss Keating, (of Garranles), Dr. E'iward Phelan, Mr. Hackett, surgeon, and Mrs. Quinlan, &c. ; the street was by thin time densely thronged, and Mr. O'Connell, in compliance with ardent wishes of the people, addressed them in nearly the following words:— NIT FRIENDS....I am always happy at any compliment paid me by the men of Tipperary. The County of Tip. perary has been always foremost in the cause of Ireland, and it is therefore I would wish you to attend tome, while I give you a few words of advice. Shun all secret oaths and societies—avoid all meetings whatsoever by night— it was in open day we struck down Protestant ascendancy and obtained Catholic equality—(Cheers) What is good need not he done by night, and what is bad should not be done at all. (It was not by Riyhtboys or Whiteboys, or Shanarests or Cararats any good for Ireland ever was effected) it was not by night we carried E,nincipa tion—it was not by night we put down the tithes—nor will it be by night that we shall repeal the Uoion.—(lm mense cheering.) Yes, we shall again have a Parliament in Dublin—(Cheers.) —the rents will be spent at home, and the landlords will then find employment for, and give protection to their tenantry, and their wants, and the wants of the poor, will be attended to—(Great cheering.) do not therefore put yourselves in the power of yonr ene mies—you know they would be glad to see you out of the middle window of the - first floor of the gaol.—(Laughter.) The tithes have been taken from these fellows—froth those grinding fellows—whoever knew so bad a breed ?—(Hear, hear, anti laughter.) Why, they used to he glad to see a poor man sent to gaol, and would have a jublee at his execution.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Avoid every thing that would strengthen your enemies, and that would weaken your friend.—(Here the Cork coach drew up, and Mr. O'Connell said, " Men make way for his Majesty's Royal mail ;" the passengers took off their hats and cheered the Liberator as they passed.) My friends,' resumed Mr. O'Connell, when crime is committed, every good man is disgusted and your enemies rejoice, for crime increases your burthens, and places green jackets and sashes on, and makes Captains of those whose interest is promoted by its commission —(Cheers.) am speaking now in the presence of that God, who shall judge both you and me. Listen then to goy advice—avoid I say again, all secret societies and nightly meetings, and I promise you, that Ireland will be too strong to suffer op pression any longer.—(Cheers.) I have successfully de fended the poor innocent men at Kilkenny.—(Great cheers.) lam now on my way to Kerry, but I shall be again amongst you at the approaching assizes. —(Im mense cheering.) Depart to your homes in peace, and may the God of Heaven bless you all.—(Loud cheers, and cries of " we will, we will, God bless you, God for ever bless you.") The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then got into his barouche, in which Mr. Fitzimon had just drove up. and departed amidst the cheers and blessings of the people. The multitude immediately and peaceably separated. DR. CHALMERS ON RETRENCHMENT. With such views, we cannot share in the patriot tic enthusiasm which is felt on the subject of re trenchment. Our patriotism and philanthropy in cline us the other way. In common estimation, the demands of the public service are regarded as so many encroachments on the general comfort of so ciety. In our estimation, they are but encroach ments on the luxury of one class, and that is the landed proprietors; and we cannot regard with complacency the abridgments which are made either in the number or the support of nationa, functionaries, when we believe that the only effect will he, to enlarge the means of the Aristocracyt and enable them to live in greater splendour or de-, licacy than before. So far from taxation having been carried to its extreme limit, we believe it was never at a greater distance from the limit than at this moment; and, to substantiate the position, we make onr confident appeal to the growing number of those families in the country who are elevated 4bove the condition of labourers, to the increased profusion of their tables, and the increased tnagni ficence of their houses, and furniture, and equipage. In other words, there is still, with all the outcry of our being an overburdened people, there is still a larger fund for the additional imposts of government, than at any former period in British history ; or, which is the same thing, a larger disposable population, who, with but the surrender of luxury on the part of private individuals, can be spared for enlarging the civil, and the military and the educational, and all the useful or respectable establishments of the nation. When told, as we often are, that no trade can bear to be taxed any further, our reply is, that it is not the trade which furnishes the tax. Trade is but the channel, and not the fountain heed, of all the supplies which come into the Trea.urv. It is not commerce, but its customers, who pay all taxes; and these are, mainly, the holders of the maintenance of labour. They can bear to be fur ther taxed, so long as they indulge in articles of enjoyment which might be dispensed with ; and, in giving up these, they might abridge or annihilate many a trade, yet without destroying the sustenance either of its capitalists or labourers, which, instead of being destroyed, is but transferred into the coffers of government. By this process, we but change the products of commerce and manufacturers for public benefits; and we repeat, that instead of stinting riny goodly or desirable objects of patriotism, never was there a time when they might be more freely and bounteously extended. Having such views on the real effects and rationale of taxation, we cannot give our admiration or approval to the scurvy eco nomics of the day. To our eye, they have the clia rac!eristics of selfishness and sordidness; and we can see nothing in these paltry sayings of govern ment, but a surrender of great public interests, that the ignoble gra•itic. , tim . ts of sense or of vauity tnay ti he let , .jsopitireti.-11lrudinwokortitott0„ the 6 teirt tY .. ` (114 I ffilC •
