COLETTI has doomed Greece to the alternative of a calamitous warfare or a disgraceful apology. On the 31st of March all relations between the Government of King OTrIo and the SUBLIME PORTE ceased—the former having neglected to respond, within the pre scribed time, to the ultimatum of the latter. What will be the consequence of this the wildest imagina tion cannot conjecture. Nothing is more indubitable than that the odium of the entire transaction is attributable to the Cabinet of COLETTI ; that, but for the impertinent egotism of that statesman, the festive insolence of the young SOVEREIGN would by this period have been expiated by a verbal or written retraotation ; .that, in short, the present, as well as many anterior, dilemmas are solely owing to the insi dious instigation of COLETTI and his Gallic supporters. How far these worthy accomplices have outstepped the limits of prudence in their recent antagonism to the SULTAN may be tolerably well estimated by tike enumeration of those Powers who will combine in supporting the cause of that Mahometan poten tate. England will co-operate, through her representativ e at Con s t an tin o ple, and, doubt less, in case necessity,of through her armed vessels the Mediterranean. Russia will likewise, through force of c ir c umstances of and the exigen c i es her position, be in v olved in adventured upon by the whatever course may b e Ottoman Cabinet. Austria, notwithstandi ng her temporary dissatisfaction w ith th temp er display e d by Baron STURMER, is prepared to n facilitat e i n eve ry manner the triumph of nEsci England, Austria, Russia, and Turke l) y ' will PActil. leagued together, therefore, in the one dir be France and Greece in the other. From the re p posterous inequality of the opposition, what may or may not be expected ? Is it probable—is it pos sible to anticipate any result satisfactory to his Hellenic MAJESTY and his advisers ? Assuredly not. The bare supposition would be in contravention of all experience. sing OTMo is unquestionably leaning on a broken reed, if he is relying upon the sagacity of Co ',ETV. Ha has neither moral nor physical, diplomatic) nor monetary strength to sustain him against such an accumulation of antagonists. Among the saddest blunder& of an embryo princi pality is that of falling out with its more powerful neighbours, however potent may be its allies, or how ever ohivalrous its population. That blunder the „ •71. A i° I'l)' 84 . 3 r j , „ 7131 Ins xfsoP.. etr 1- • • - THE Athenian Government has just committed, and unless some timely concession be made the result of that blunder must be most injurious to the Greek kingdom. It is singularly anomalous, amidst all these squabbles and misunderstandings to observe the dissimilarity of the moral behaviour of the rival Monarchs. Scarcely has the sound of the flagrant language faded away in the banquet chamber of the Christian KING, when the Mahoinetan SULTAN sends the munificent sum of one thousand pounds to Mr. WELLESLEY to be applied to the relief of the destitute in Ireland. Surely this cannot be considered as among the least significant indications of the progress of religious tolerance and social civilization ! When the chief of the faith of Islamism looks with compassion upon a remote island devoted to the adoration of CHRIST, we may esteem the epoch to be not very far removed from that beautiful diffusion of charity which has been so long regarded by ethical and poetical writers as the most golden assurance of terrestrial happiness. Lord PALMERSTON will again have an opportunity of measuring his intellectual strength with M. GUIZOT, and, notwithstanding the very sanguine expectations of M. DE BOURQUENAT and M. PISCATORT, we are by no means tremulous as to the termination of their encounter. As has long been the case with the Iberians, the Hellenes have found their deepest affliction in external officiousness. The influence of the Frenck at Athens, as well as at Madrid and Lisbon, has been of the most pernicious character ; and supposing the present troubles result in the expulsion or suppression of the French, the Greeks will have every reason to con gratulate themselves upon the mismanagement of COLETTI. Nothing, save the total rejection of the French interference, can reclaim the character, the health, and the dignity of the Greek constitution. Let King OTHO take example by the conduct recently pursued by Queen ISABELLA of Spain, in succes sively dismissing from authority ISTURITZ and SuromaYou ; and let the fate of ISTURITZ and Soto- MAYOR be a warning to COLETTI. " Trust not for freedom to the Franks, They have a King who buys and sells; In native swords, and native ranks, Your only hope of freedom dwells." So sang the inspired " ALFIERI of our land" to the Greeks, before the Greeks were restored to the dignity of an independent nation. With how much more reason might he not have addressed to them that warning at this particular juncture ! With how much more reason might he not have protested now-a-days that their only hope of freedom was in " native hearts and native ranks," and not in the avaricious selfishness and the unprincipled cunning of a foreign Government. COLETTI will have ef fected the ruin of Greece, unless Greece, by a patriotic anticipation of its true enemy, effect the ruin of COLETTI. Reverting to the proposition which Mr. CIIRI3TIE will shortly renew in the House of Commons for the admission of Dissenters into the Universities, it will not be unreasonable to notice one of the arguments upon which the advocates for excluding them have mainly rested their defence of the present system. They assert that the academies of Oxford and Cam bridge are institutions peculiarly interwoven and identified with the religion of the State, the advance ment of which it is the special and bounden duty of their authorities to promote, from a due regard to the origin and nature of the earliest charters and laws by which the different colleges, com posing the Universities, were founded. 'We deny the premises altogether; but, without stopping to demonstrate their untruth, it is notorious that, supposing they were ever so true, never have insti tutions in their operation been suffered more widely to deviate from the trust confided to their authorities than the ancient seminaries of Oxford and Cambridge. In this respect they stand self- condemned by the judg ment of some of their own most enlightened members. Prelates and statesmen have alike spoken out in terms of powerful denunciation against the striking discre pancies between the assumed theory and the practical working of these bodies. Every one, who is at all acquainted with the subject, knowt that to obtain a degree the examination upon theological matters to which the candidates are subjected is of the slightest character. The classics and the mathematics are looked to as the chief test of their being entitled to graduation. Compulsory attendance, morning and evening, in the chapels of the colleges, is the only other feature of religious discipline prevailing in either University, independently of the examinations to which we hare alluded, and which, so far as theolo gical excellence is concerned, is absolutely farcical. But what said the present Bishop of ST. DAVID'S, one of our most distinguished ornaments on the episcopal bench, of this system in 1834 ? He said it reminded him of " a military parade," and that it was a practice which served neither to the discipline of the body, mind, heart, or affections. The Bishop also boldly proclaimed that " for the education of their students, the colleges either contributed nothing, or something so insignificant, as not to be worth the taking into account." What said Lord STANLEY in Parliament in 1834 ? " When we look at the way in which this regulation (compul sory attendance in the chapel) is complied with, and see young men rushing forward in the morning to see if the gates of the chapel are opened, and in the evening returning from Divine service to their wine, I say ,such a system is better calcu lated to deaden all feelings of religion, than the admission of Dissenters, be they ever so numerous, to the honours of the University." Such was the language of a Nobleman who was then, and is still, regarded as one of the stoutest champions of the Establised Church, and yet no statesman has more zealously advocated than Lord STANLEY that the Dissenters should be allowed fully to participate in the same civil privileges, and admitted to the most unreserved intercourse with the members of the Church of England, in our general and national institutions. Bat, again, what pro vision is made by the Universities in the shape of religious education beyond what we have stated, even for those who intend to become the actual ministers of religion ? Take Cambridge, by way of example. Writing, in 1841, Mr. PEACOCK, the present Dean of Ely, and for many years a dis tinguished tutor of Trinity College, informed us that no testimonial of theological proficiency was required from candidates for holy orders beyond a certificate of attendance upon the lectures of the Norrisian Professor of Divinity, and that these lectures were strictly limited to reading a considerable portion of PEARSON'S Exposition of the Creed; and that if the attendance had not been compulsory, the Professor would inevitably have been left without an audience. Can anything, then, be clearer, than, admitting, for the sake of argument, the advocates for excluding the Dissenters from the Universities to be justified in the premises with which they set out, that these bodies have grossly neglected their public duties ? Is not their whole system " a delusion, a mockery, and a snare ?" It is rotten to the very core. We have useless academical oaths and formulce, college trusts flagrantly violated, private tuition (which none but the affluent can pay for) usurping public instruction, and religion but slightly heeded. It would be easy to swell the list of objections against the wretched system of education in force in the Universities. To Parliament only can we look for adequate and com prehensive reform, and we hope that it will imme diately set about placing the Universities, morally and intellectually, upon a footing commensurate with the requirements of a liberal and enlightened age. The Madrid mail of the 14th had not arrived in Paris at the hour of post. Private letters, however, have been received from Madrid, stating that the Government is in possession of evidence to prove that the tumult of the Sunday preceding, and the attack O th n e P t o the l verrme i n ee t) in conj unct i on with their Afrancesado qt'ExN, were the resu lt s o f a p l o t concoc t e d b y (who were appo i nte d b y the former Go masters, for th e purpose of aiding in the restoration .., I Ith, an t ca of the Afr ancesado faction to office.

The same journal of the 12th, states, that the Carlist band of TRISTANY has been com pletely dispersed, and that Senor BUXERES, the Al cade of Martorell, has been conducted as a prisoner to the citadel of Barcelona, for allowing armed Car lists to traverse the district of Martorell unmolested. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Journal des Debats contains some most im portant intelligence. Dispatches have been received from Algiers, announcing the capture of the cele brated Bou MAZA, by Colonel DE ST. AULAIRI3. "It was that celebrated scheriff," says the Daats, " Who kindled the revolt which extended in 1845 from the Dahra all over Algeria, andlin which Abd-el- Kader only acted the second part. He was as trouble some to us as the Emir himself, who, dreaded him az a rival. He at first regarded him as the Anti-Christ of the Mussulmans, and is believed to have paid the assassins who lately attempted his life. After having wandered during upwards of a year among the southern tribes, he had just re-entered the Dahra, where his presence would have no doubt again roused the fanaticism of the Ka byles of those mountains. He fell into the hands of Colonel St. Arnault, who was assisted in the difficult task of his capture by Captain Richard, chief of the Arabian board at Orleansville. This success is of the highest importance, and, with the submission of Ben Salem, will figure as one of the most remarkable facts in the his tory of our domination in Algeria. It is said that Bou Maza will be sent to Paris." The same journal contains a long article comment ing in bitter terms on the speech of the King of PRUSSIA. It bears internal evidence of being the composition of M. GUIZOT, and reads more like the envenomed critique of an angry pedagogue on the prospectus of a successful rival than a comment by a great statesman on, perhaps, the most important State paper that has ever appeared. It is unworthy of M. GUIZOT and of the Journal (let Dtbats. Some allow ance, however, must be made for the feelings of irritation under which M. GUIzOT is labour ing at the ill success of his attempts to exploiter Prussia for the benefit of the dynasty, The defeated intriguer has a prescriptive privilege of complaint. M. REMUSAT brought forward, on Mon day, his motion for rendering placemen ineligible for election as Deputies. He was addressing the Chamber in support of his proposition when the post I left.

We have received by Extraordinary Express from Paris, a telegraphic dispatch, announcing the arrival of the bi-monthly Indian Mail at Marseilles on Monday last (19th inst.), with news from Bombay to the 15th of March. " The most perfect tranquillity prevailed in the Punjaub, and nothing was perceptible to occasion fears for new troubles. " The disturbances in the country of the Hazareh were allayed. " Akbar Khan, son of Dust Mohammed Khan, is dead. " Sinde is perfectly tranquil, and its sanatory state is satisfactory.

(Before Mr. Secondary J&3IES.) lIIAINX3 V. MUTT'. This was an action to recover the sum of 161. 17s. 11d. for goods sold and delivered. The defendant admitted the debt, but pleaded that he had tendered the amount before the action was brought. A witness was called, who distinctly proved that he had twice offered the money to the plaintiff; and the jury there fore gave a verdict for the defendant.—This was the only case BANKRUP TCY.-(T EIIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner EvAxs.) IN ILE; D. KACLEAN. Mr. LAWRENCE applied for a further extension of the time for the surrender of this bankrupt, the Member of Parliament for Oxford, and who was declared bankrupt several months ago, but had not yet surrendered. Mr. Lawrence now put in a declaration of the bankrupt, as to his being still resident in Italy, and unable to return to this country in consequence of continued ill health. The application was opposed on behalf the petitioning cre ditor, as it was quite impossible for any progress to be made in winding up the bankrupt's affairs until his return to Eng land ; it was therefore submitted that no further time should be allowed. Mr. LAWRENCE said that the bankrupt was anxious to have the affairs closed, and was lately at Rome, and his ob ject in having the time extended was to enable him to come to England. His Homoun said he did not see what good could result to the creditors by having the bankrupt outlawed. Mr. LAWRENCE said the bankrupt was not seeking to avoid his surrender, and was most anxious not to be branded with outlawry. It was ultimately agreed that the time should be farther adjourned for two months, the bankrupt in the mean time to answer queries to be framed by the official assignee. Mr. LAWRENCE said the bankrupt would render all the assistance in his power. The costs to be paid by the bankrupt. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) Frederick Mizen was indicted for unlawfully attempting to incite one Robert Roberts to aid in stealing several silver spoons, the property of Eliza Bedford, his (Robert's) em ployey. Robert Roberts stated that he was in the employment of Mrs. Bedford, who resided at No. 23, Upper Seymonr-place, and had known ;he prisoner for some time. On Friday week he called upon the witness, and asked him for the loan of 65., which he was unable to give him, when the prisoner took a pistol from his pocket, and said, if he did not " sanc tion" him in allowing him to come into the house at two o'clock that morning, along with two other men, to take the silver spoons, ;he:should blow his brains out. Wit ness was so frightened that he replied " he would see," and he remained up all that night; when, at the hour named by the prisoner, he saw him and two men walking up and down before the area railings, where they remained for some time. The witness did not let them in, and the prisoner having sent a threatening message to him on the following day, stating that he would come again that night, the witness informed his mistress of all the cir cumstances. The police were set to work, and took the prisoner into custody. , The ASSISTANT. SUDGE, in summing up, said the jury should be entirely influenced by the credibility which they attached to the evidence of Roberts. The jury, after a short consultation, acquitted the prisoner. Several other cases of felony were disposed of, in which no point of general interest appeared. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Richard 211 4 Dondl was placed at the bar, having been re manded from yesterday, charged with stealing a silver watch and chain from the person of Charles Ryan. It appeared that the prosecutor and the prisoner were drinking together in a public-house in the neighbourhood of the court, last night, when the prisoner volunteered to give the prosecutor a lesson in pugilism. A ring was formed, and the teacher and pupil stood up. After a few rounds the pri soner proceeded to show the prosecutor a new mode of throw ing, and clasping him round the waist dexterously pulled his watch from his fob and put it in his own pocket. After the lesson was over, the prosecutor missed his watch, and suspi cion fell on the prisoner, who at first denied all knowledge of it, but on a policeman being sent for he produced it, saying that the prosecutor bid him take care of it. The prisoner assured the magistrate that the prosecutor told him to take care of the watch. Mr. Bittcaum committed him for trial, saying that he was convinced he stole the watch. THE SCRIP FORGERIES.—Horatio Nelson West and William Farmery were brought up for re-examination at the Mansion-house, in the custody of John and Daniel Forrester. The justice-room was crowded with gentlemen from the Stock Exchange. The charge against them was stated by Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for the prosecution, to be that they feloniously uttered and disposed of, knowing the same to be forged, several warrants for the delivery of certain securities for the payment of money—viz., for the delivery of shares of the value of 501. each in the London and South-Western Railway Company, with intent to de fraud Francis Worrell Stevens. Evidence having been given, in the course of' which both parties were positively sworn to as the parties implicated in the concoction and uttering of the forged scrip. Mr. Clarkson requested that a further re mand should be given, in order that the depositions might be properly prepared. The Lord Mayor consented to re mand the prisoners until Monday next, on which day it was his intention to commit them for trial. SUICIDE OP SIR HENRY WEBSTER.—A most pain ful sensation pervaded the vicinity of Grosvenor-square yes terday, in consequence of a rumour which had gained con siderable credit that Sir Henry Webster, Bart., residing at ! No. 31, Upper Brooke-street, had committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. Upon making inquiry into the truth of the rumour, it was found to be too true. The unfortunate gentleman, it appears, has for some time past been in a desponding state of mind, but no fears were for a moment entertained that he would take his own life. On Monday morning he rose at his usual hour and took breakfast, and expressed his intention of going out to walk. He was l a e t et i ni t z ) d y h, himselfatnt hdeunfortunate th to dress, and shortly after a heavy fall was heard in hi s room. The servant immediately proceeded to his apartment s , and found him lying upon the floor with a t w a o n u e nd in the throat.

The intelligence from the West Indies describes the weather as being auspicious, and the crops as good, both in respect to quantity and quality. There are accounts of February 20 from the Cape of Good Hope, and February 16 from G ra h am ' s T own . The cattle demanded of February had been given up, but the settlement of the affairs of the frontier was checked by the recal of Sir Peregrine Maitland. The arrival of Sir Henry Pottinger was anxiously looked for. The Thunderbolt steamer was by some expected to be got off the rock where she struck, but there is some contradic tion as to the cause of the unfortunate mishap.

MARKET NEWS.---(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY The arrivals of English Wheat, since Monday, have been very small ; and the supply of that article of grain here this morning was unusually limited. All kinds met a very ready sale, at, in most instances, a further advance in the quotations of quite Is per quarter, and at which most of the samples found buyers. The transactions in Foreign Wheat were small, owing to the want of supply ; but prices must be considered quite is per quarter higher. The sale for all descriptions of Barley was firm ; but we can notice no further advance in the quotations. Malt was in short supply, and fair request, at last week's currencies. The Oat trade was steady, at extreme rates. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, were held for more money. Wheat. EngUsh ....... I 1,220 qrs. Irish. ..... Foreign ARRIVALS.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XLVII. WILSONTOWN, DIOP.NINGSIDE, AND COW:NESS (BENHAR B3FLO.NCB.) The Committee, consisting of Mr. Elliott Yorke (chair man), Mr. Packe, Mr. Gill, Mr. Leigh, and Mr. Trelawney, met at eleven o'clock thirday, in room No. 28. Mr. Sergeant MUAPHY opened, for Mr. Dixon, the only petitioner, against the scheme. He contended that the as sertion of the promoters that the opening of this district would lower the price of coal in the Glasgow market was altogether unfounded. That city was so fully supplied by almost inexhaustible fields in its own neighbourhood, that the maximum price was only some 103. per ton, and therefore the assertion that Glasgow would be benefitted could not to be sustained for a moment. But what was the evi dence in the case? They had heard from Mr. M'Creath that there were two seams of coal, one nearly worked out, and the other as yet in the virgin state. Mr. M'Creath, who ap.. peared to be a person of great practical experience in mining operations, told the Committee that he had been employed for above twelve months in surveying the coal fields on the Duke of Hamilton's property in this neighbourhood, and he said that his Grace had an Eldorado of wealth under the surface, yet the witness in the same breath acknowledged that one out of the two seams was already exhausted, and that the other would not repay the cost of working. Learned Sergeant was interrupted in the course of his address by The CHAIRMAN, who intimated that it was the unanimous opinion of the Committee that the preamble was not proved. The Committee adjourned till to-morrow at twelve o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD WATERWORKS BILL.

KILMARNOCK, &c., RAILWAY (DEVIATIONS AND AMENDMENTS) BILLS. Mr. GREENE moved that it be an instruction to the Select Committee on the Group No. 50 of Railway Bills, that they have power to divide the Glasgow, Barrhead, and Neilston Direct Railway Bill into two Bills, in order that they may report the same from time to time, or so much of the said Bill as they may determine upon, and proceed separately with the consideration of the remainder thereof; also, that it be an instruction to the Select Committee on the Group No. 50 of Railway Bills, that they have power to divide the Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock Railway (Amendment and Branches to the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr, the Glasgow, Barr head, and Neilston, and the Glasgow, Strahaven, and Les mahagow Railways, and to Haugh Pits) Bill, into two Bills, in order that they may report the same from time to time, or so much of the said Bill as they may determine upon, and proceed separately with the consideration of the remainder thereof. Also that it be an instruction to the select com mittee on the Group No. 50, of Railway Bills, that they have power to divide the Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ar drossan Railway (Amendment, Deviations, and Branches) Bill, into two Bills, in order that they may report the same from time to time, or so much of the said Bill as they may determine upon, and proceed separately with the conside ration of the remainder thereof.—Agreed to. PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS BILL. The second reading of this Bill was postponed till Wed nesday next. HOSIERY MANUFACTURE BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of this Bill being read, Mr. FIELDEN suggested the postponement of it, so as not to interfere with the I actory Bill. __„— Sir HENRY HALFORls—though he had a groat objec tion to the postponement of the Bill, still, in deference to the feeling of the House, he would consent to it. Mr. B. ESCOTT wished to know whether the Hon. Bart. really intended to go on with the Bill. Sir H. HALFORD said he most certainly intended to go on with the Bill. Mr. FERRAND hoped the Hon. Baronet would go on with his Bill, as it was much wanted, on account of the great hardship uuder which the hosiery workers laboured. He trusted it would be pushed forward, and it would receive all the support in his power. After a few words from Sir J. EASTHOPE, the Bill was postponed till this day fortnight. FACTORIES BILL. On the erder of the day for receiving the Factories Bill report being read, Mr. B. ESCOTT presented two petitions from the county of Suffolk against the Ten Hours' Bill. The manufacturers stated that the sale of wool and cotton would be entirely destroyed by the operation of the Bill, and they stated their sincere conviction that it would introduce great misery and distress. The report was then received. On the question whether the report be adopted, Mr. TRELAIVNY said he would offer this Bill his most determined opposition. The measure would not be as beneficial as was represented, and it was a perfect mockery to introduce such a measure without being able to introduce a fixity of wages. If the hours of labour were reduced, so would also the amount of wages, and therefore the measure would really injure rather than serve the working classes. The Bill was a real interference with adult labour, and there was a case the other day where a woman was actually punished for working more than the permitted number of hours. The principle should be carried further; it could never stop where they desired, and if it was so extended the greatest evils would arise. They were told that the labourers were prepared to risk the chance. That was the expression. He would wish to know, were the labourers the- Legislature? If the House of Commons were to act as the labourers thought proper, and if they had so high an opinion of their capability to judge and legislate for themselves, why not extend the fran chise? He would give his vote against the measure. Mr. HUME said that every hour the Bill was delayed proved only to him the stronger the necessity of totally re jecting the measure. The distress which would occur by its passing would be almost incalculable. Let them only reduce the amount of cotton manufactured in the country by one tenth, and no man breathing could tell the misery which would be produced. He blamed the Government very much for not having set their faces completely against the measure. They should have sent it to a Committee up stairs, to receive evidence upon it, and examine what would be its effects upon the country ; he re garded it as such a direct interference with the labour of the country, that he would move that it be received that day six months. It was his intention to divide the House upon his amendment. Mr. BROWNE seconded the amendment. Mr. M. PHILIPS said that he could not allow the discus sion to go on without once more raising his voice against the principle as well as the provision of the measure, which he be lieved to be fraught with misery and desolation. He warned the House of hasty legislation ; an d in this Bill were involved the nicest and most delicate points respecting the welfare of the country . . Mr. P. HOWARD said that he would give his steady sup port to the Member for Oldham. He did not think that the commercial greatness of the country depended on the over exertion and over-working of women and children, but on, the spirit of unity which existed in the country, on the be neficial manner in which the people of England employed their time, which was not frittered away in useless or minute accomplishments.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. S. CRAWFORD said that if there was ever an unfair and vexatious opposition offered to any measure, the present was that one. There was no notice of the motion on the paper, and it looked like an attempt to take the friends of the measure by surprise. He did not wish to enter upon the merits of the measure, but he considered that after the sense of the House, already declared, the opposition was mosb vexatious. Mr. B. ESCOTT said, that he hoped the Hon. Member for Rochdale would not think that the opponents to the measure had a*tod unfairly or Toxatiourily: It had Mtn ittnitt4d , that the course whi c h h a d b een pursue d was th a t w hi c h ad vanced, rather than retarded, the progress of the measure. Other measures were put off, in order that this measure might be brought forward; therefore, he thought his Hon. Friend the Member' for Rochdale was not justified in his observations. There were circumstances which rendered the position of the Bill in the House of Commons quite different from former measures on this subject. The Noble Lord at the head of her Majesty's Government admitted, on the last debate on the subject, that it was a measure of great influence on the interests of the country. The House went into Committee, when a clause was proposed far eleven hours of labour, in favour of which the Noble Lord voted, but on which he was defeated. tie was quite sure that Hon. Gentlemen would agree with him, that the Bill was so changed as to have altogether lost its identity. It was stated that the manufacturers had not come forward to oppose this measure in a formidable way; and that there were petitions from manufacturers in favour •f the Bill ; that the Noble Lord himself had presented petitions in favour of the NU signed by 300 or 400 manufacturers, which was considered to be a most conclusive argument in favour of the principle of this measure. If these petitions were signed by persons who misrepresented themselves as manufacturers, no one, he was sure, would be more ready to admit the fast than the Noble Lord. But what was the case? Why, he fouled that five of the signers in these petitions could not spell the word by which they designated themselves manufacturers. He thought there should be further time afforded for those interested to express their opinions, and he trusted that the Noble Lord would reject this Bill. Mr. FERRAND had attended the former debates on this question, which differed very materially from that on the present occasion. He regretted that anything had fallen from his Hon. Friend the Member for Rochdale, which could have offended anybody. He hoped that this measure would be passed. Mr. MUNTZ could not agree with the Hon. Member for Rochdale. He considered that, though not a cotton mer chant, he was quite competent to judge of the question as a merchant, and from all he had seen and heard on the sub ject, he felt it to be his duty to support the Bill. Mr. TANCRED was quite opposed to the principle of this Bill, and was quite satisfied that it would not effect the hopes of its supporters. He believed that the effect of this mea sure would be to close up their manufactories altogether, after it had been a short time in operation. He had always followed the head of the Government with the greatest re spect bat on the present occasion he could not to do so, much as he regretted it. Sir DE LACY EVANS—The only argument that had been used against this Bill was that it had a tendency to restrict the labour of the poor, but those who took up that position had totally failed in proving it. He considered the arguments of the Noble Lord at the head of her Ma jesty's Government quite satisfactory, and therefore he telt bound to give the measure his support. (LEFT SITTING.) THE MURDER AT NORWOOD. Yesterday, at three o'clock, Mr. W. Carter, coroner for Surrey, and a jury assembled at the Horns Tavern, Lower Norwood, for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances attending this horrible tragedy. The names of the deceased parties were James Young, aged 25 years, his wife Jane Young, aged 26 years, and their infant child Sarah Jane Young, aged three months. The jury having been sworn, proceeded, in company with the Coroner, to view the remains of the deceased persons. On the return of the jury to the inquest-room, The CORONER suggested that the case of the wife should be taken first; and the jury assenting, William King was the first witness called, who said he was a shoemaker iri the employ of Mr. Quy, of High-street, Lower Norwood. On Sunday morning last, about ten minutes past six o'clock, he and another man, named Pope, who was sleeping with him, were awakened by loud screams from the next house, occupied by Young. The voice was that of a woman. It was very loud, and ccntinued for about five minutes. He and his companion got up, and looked out of the window into their backyard, where lie saw Mr. Maushe, who lodged in the next house to Young's, in his shirt. Witness ran down stairs, and jumped over into Young's yard, and knocked at the back-door, which was opened by a little girl, their servant. Witness asked what ,was the matter? and the little girl replied that she did not know, Witness then ran up stairs, followed by Pope and Mr. Maushe. He discovered Mrs. Itoung lying with a deep wound in her throat. At the same moment Mr. Young came out of the front bedroom and hastened towards witness. Witness, being alarmed, ran down stairs and told the others that Mrs. Young had had her throat cut. Witness then ran out into the street to obtain assistance, and was followed by the other men. Wit ness looked about for a policeman, and in about ten minutes found one, with whom he returned to the house. Witness followed the policeman up stairs. Mrs. Young was lying on the landing near the banisters quite dead, and Mr. Young, was also lying on the floor of the front bedroom, with an ex tensive wound in his throat. There was a great quantity of blood on the stairs, and the banisters were also splashed with blood. The COROAER—When did you last see Young, previous to this occurrence? Witness—About a fortnight since. He had been absent from home during that period. Robert Archer, 202 P, proved having been called to Young's house by the last witness. On entering the shop witness passed through and went up the staircase, which was covered with blood. Witness found Mrs. Young in a sitting posture at the top of the stairs. She had received an extensive wound on the left side of the neck. Wit ness next went into the back room, and there saw the deceased child on the bed, between two pillows. Its throat was cut, and there was a great deal of blood about its person, as well as about the bedding. Witness afterwards proceeded to the front room, and there saw Mr. Young. lie was on the floor near the fireplace, with his head resting on a water jug. He had a black-handled table-knife in his right hand. There was very little blood near him, but witness could trace blood from the hack room into the front room, which had evidently fallen from the deceased. The fingers of Mrs. Young's left hand were cut, as if she had attempted to save her self, and some of the balustrades were forced out of their position, apparently by persons struggling to gether. Witness knew the deceased parties, and, as far as he was able to judge, they had always appeared to live on good terms. Believed deceased obtained a living by hawking caps, bonnets, and artificial flowers in London and its neighbourhood. Mr. John Chapman, surgeon, of Lower Norwood, proved having been called to Mr. Young's house and discovering the deceased parties as described by the last witnesses. Mrs. Young had received an incised wound on the left side of the neck, from 2k to 3 inches in length, and l inch deep. It appeared to have been inflicted by one incision, and was of a character to cause immediate death. Mr. Young had a wound in his throat about 2 inches in length, and 1 deep, which had just cut into the trachea. the child had also received a severe injury in the throat, and was quite dead. The wound in Mrs. Young's throat was from left to right. It was possible, but not likely, that she might have inflicted it herself. Witness had attended both the deceased man and his wife for some time past, and from his observation of the former he con sidered him to have been a man of weak mind. Some time since Mrs. Young complained to witness of an act of unkindness on the part of her husband, and about three weeks ago, under witness's advice, he was taken away from Norwood by his friends. Witness recommended his re moval, believing change of air and scene would be bene ficial to his health, and fearing that, unless care were taken with him, his mind might lapse into insanity. Witness considered the deceased to have been a most affectionate husband, and had no doubt of his insanity at the time he committed the act. Anne Hollingsworth, aged 15 years, had been in the ser vice of Mr. and Mrs. Young during the last six weeks. Mr. Young came home on Saturday last about four o'clock, in company with his mother. His mother afterwards lett. Young appeared very cross with Mrs. Young during the evening. lie asked for meat and gruel and tea at supper time. Mrs. Young said he could not have any meat, but she made him a basin of gruel. He took a little of it, and then asked for some tea, which Mrs. Young made for hint. This was at one o'clock in the morning. Witness and Mrs. Young were on the point of going to bed, when Mr. Young insisted that witness should light the fire and make him some toast. Mrs. Young said witness should not light the fire, and words en sued, on which Mr. Young struck his wife on the breast with his hand. Witness was called shortly before six o'clock by her mistress, who told her to go down stairs and and light the fire. Almost immediately after witness heard her mistress cry out for assistance. She called out "Oh ! oh I" and afterwards called witness by name. Witness went part of the way up stairs, but seeing nothing of either Mr. or Mrs. Young, she ran towards the door, intending to call in a neighbour. On reaching the door witness heard the voice of her mistress on the landing, and on going back she saw her hanging over the bannisters, with blood pouring from her throat. The blood splashed on witness's arm, and witness then ran out and called for assistance. Isaac Young, of Hackney, was next called, and said, in answer to the Coroner, that the deceased man was his son. lie had been of weak mind for some months past, :and, al though he had the best of advice, his mind continued id an insane state. The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased Sarah Young and Sarah Jane Young were wilfully murdered by the de ceased James Young, and that the deceased James Young destroyed himself while labouring under temporary in sanity." The Chancellor of the Exchequer has received, through the hands of the minister of the Wesleyan Chapel, Hackney-road, the sum of 101. from " A Friend," on account of deficient returns for income and property-tax. The amount will be paid into the receipt of the Exchequer. SAILING OF TILE CALEDONIA.—The British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Caledonia, Captain Lott, sailed for Halifax and Boston, from Liverpool, yester day forenoon. She had a very large number of passengers, the semi-monthly mails for Canada and the United States, and specie to the amount of half a million sterling. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 20.—The East India and China mails left this port at 3 P.M. this day, under care of Lieutenant Taneock, R.N., in the Oriental Company's steam-ship Oriental, Captain Brookes, for Malta, and Alexandria. The Oriental has seventy passengers on board, including Lord Torrington and suite, the new Governor of Ceylon; and also a very full cargo of goods. The West India packet the Thames arrived at 11 30 ; her mails were forwarded by the ono o'clock train to London. The news brought by this packet will be found in another part of th e paper.

GOLDSMITHS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. -- The anniversary dinner of this society took place yesterday, a t the Freemason's Tavern, under the presidence of Sheliff Kennard. Between two and three hundred gentlemen were present; and, after the usual festivities and toasts, a list of subscriptions was read, amounting to about 2001. The Secretary for the Home Department has no tified to the Court of Aldermen, that he has instructed the magistrates of the metropolitan police district not to allow certificates to policemen for their attendance, and to take care that in no matter whatever they shall directly or indi rectly receive any personal benefit. This will effect a consi derable saving of the county rate, besides makingthepolihcei-s -men less anxious to get every culprit co mm i t t e d to the se s sions, by exaggerated representations of his ingenuity, general character, desperate associates, &c.

The subscription- rocm was crowded last night until between twelve and one o'clock, and a large amount business transacted upon the 2,000 Guineas Stakes and Derby; confined, however, to a few horses, and without leading to any material change in the market prices. In the tirst-named event Planet had several friends, but WEIS so steadily opposed in one quarter that an outlay of seine hundreds at 7 to 8 did not in the least improve his position; on the contrary, he appeared to be on the decline. CoUng: ham was in strong force, and a few beta were laid against The Liberator at 9to 2 and sto 1. The Derby betting was heavy, 13 to 2 and 7 to 1 laid against Planet, and backers not very numerous. Similar odds, taken to at least 1,000/. about Van Tromp, who had the call at the finish. Conyug - , ham was also an immense " pot," and at odds, fluctuating be tween 15 and 18 to 1, must have been backed to win upwards of twenty thousand pounds. The Liberator, again, found staunch friend in his owner, but had many opponents. Ulysses, a new outsider, was backed at 40 and 50 to 1, to ,win between twenty and thirty thousand pounds. Very little was done on the Chester Cup.
