The Reform Bill is to be carried up to the House of Lords to night, and we are happy to have it in our power to announce that his MAJESTY, and his advisers, have taken effec tual steps to prevent the destruction of lire and property, which would ensue throughout the united kingdom, if the measure were de feated. The industry, the welfare, and domestic peace of a nation are not to be left at the ca price or mercy of a small faction of desperate in triguers and selfish monopolists—men hardened in the practical guilt of office, until the seared conscience nauseates at public virtue, and commits every state offence as a private right to a general sacrifice. We are happy in the power of tranquillizing the public mind by the informa tion that patents of Nobility are already pre pared, in a sufficient number to ensure the success of the Bill. The instruments wait but the Royal sign manual, and should the danger be extreme, in one half hour a Patriotic Sovereign can exer cise his prerogative and be the saviour of the nation. Many of the patents are in favour of men esteemed by all parties, and the country cannot too highly appreciate the evils they will avert ; and the good they will effect to the public, by their acceptance of the Peerage. No man in public life ever studied effect more acutely, and, we must confess, more successfully than Sir ROBERT PEEL. Throughout the Reform question he has quietly rejoiced at the nausea and surfeit of the House, at the buf fooneries o f WETHERELL, the eccentricities of SIBTHORPE, the impertinence of such men as :he CLERKS, DAWSONS, and GOULEURN tribes, and the drowsy tinklings of a host of nameless Members. When the impatience and the disgust of the House were at the extreme on Thursday night, Sir ROBERT rose with all the benefits of the contrast, and he in creased the superiority of his rhetoric by a few severe animadversions upon discursive speeches. The most plausible, and in point of oratory the most eloquent, but, upon careful examination, the most shallow and disreputable speech that Sir ROBERT ever made, was that of Thursday night. He assumes throughout that Mr. PITT and other Ministers would have been liberal Statesman, upon the support of the Aristocracy and Boroughmongers, but that their free and patriotic intentions were overborne by the ignorance of the people. Unfortunately for Sir ROBERT'S case, Mr. PITT has left upon record his opinions upon the subject. Mr. PITT, in his motions upon Reform, wished to appeal to the people ; and he stated, in the strongest language, that a Minister could do nothing for the public good, be cause the control of the Boroughmongers was irresistible. He openly declared that the system of Government was one of the most pr(fllgate corruption, and adverting to the insatiable cupidity of the Aristocracy and borough Members, he made the memorable declaration, that without an appeal to the • • ter people, it was im possible for any honest man to be a Mints . This declaration has become a bye-word, an adage throughout England ; and yet Sir ROBERT PEEL has asserted that Mr. PITT found all the ' cipposition to freedom in the prejudices of the lower orders. Sir ROBERT forgets that since the year 1785 the people of England, notwith standing the taxes upon knowledge, have made prodigious progress in every species of infor mation, whilst even the Judges, in address ing Grand Juries of Assize, have warned the Aristocracy, that they have been retrograde, or at best stationary. Sir ROBERT'S vision ex tends only to his circle of exdusivism. He re minds us of RIP VAN W 7 INCKLE, who woke :nit of his forty years' slumber, and proceeded upon the supposition that the people were just the same as when he commenced his sleep. There is not a foreman in a manufactory of Birmingham, Manchester, or Glasgow, that would not laugh to scorn the gross igno rance of all commercial principles betrayed by Mr. PITT in speeches which were then reckoned the very summit of wisdom. Commercial monopolies—fictitious sinking funds—borrowing with one hand and paying with the other—the guinea at compound interest, amour.ting in time to a globe of gold as big as the earth—the paper system,—all these and a thousand similar absurdities which imposed even upon Lord GRENVILLE, and which, in his old age, he has denounced as impositions, would not now impose upon a Manchester weaver, or a London shop boy. These intellectual frauds were successfully played off upon the Boroughmongers by PER CEVAL and Lord BEXLEY long after they were held in derision and utter contempt by the people. A few rich, trading, borough-holders, thwarted some liberal commercial designs of Mr. PITT towards Ireland in 1785, and among those opponents was Sir ROBERT PEEL'S father, and yet Sir ROBERT attributes this oppo sition to the ignorance and prejudices of the people. When we reflect upon the debt, the taxes, the places, pensions, and sinecures—the delays and expenses of justice, which put the great body of the English people out of the pale of all law, and leave them at the mercy of wrong-doers,—when we reflect upon the im mense accumulation of wealth in a few Aristo cratic families, and the wretched condition of the Irish, and of the rural and manufacturing po pulation of England, we hardly conceive it possible that Sir ROBERT PEEL could have talked to the House of " destroying the time-honoured system of society, which harmonized to all gradations of life, and which blended the security and stability of the *Mo narchy, with all the advantages of a popular Government." Is it possible, that Sir ROBERT PEEL could have adverted to Ireland, when he spoke of the Reform Bill subverting " the do mination of that religion, which was pure in its doctrine, and tolerant in its principle r In our Paper of Saturday' week we inserted a va. luable Report from Vice-Admiral Sir PULTENEY MALcoi.Nr, upon the efficiency of our Packet Establishment at Falmouth. This subject is of the very highest importance to the mercantile interests of the country, and to every branch of the pubic service, as well as to individuals; and it appears that the country is indebted to the excellent arrangements at Falmouth to Captain KING, " to whose unwearied and praiseworthy exertions, and excellent regulations are to be at tributed, the perfect efficiency of the Packet Service, and the check to the contraband trade which existed in it." We are led to contrasi this system of economy, despatch, and precision, with that of the days of Mr. PITT, when useless vessels were hired at an enormous rate, in order to patronize borough connexions, and in which the best seamen were protected from the Impress, and abstracted from the Navy, provided they, or their relations, possessed any votes in close boroughs. Sir PULTENEY MALCOLNI reports, that with respect to the equipment, repairs and out-fit of vessels, the service at Falmouth is reduced to the minimum of expense, and the only altera tions he suggests are relative to the substitution of steam-vessels for packets under canvass. At present, there are two King's packets and three hired packets confined to the Lisbon station, and the Admiral recommends a plan by which four steam-vessels might be made efficient for the Lisbon and Mediterranean service, and secure a regular and rapid communication with Greece. The consumption of coals is reduced by one-third, so that a Lisbon packet can carry fuel enough to last till her return. The system of steam-packets is pro- nounced to be the most economical. There are points in the report which appear to us at her inconsistent. Why should any vessels be hired for the service, when the King's yards can or ought to build and equip much cheaper and better than individuals ? The service ought to be either one of contract or of Government management, and not a mixture of both. Few persons will agree with the report that Govern ment ought to keep a running account of pas sage-money with the commanders, exacting one half from individual passengers, and paying for the passage of their own officers. The report recomtnends that no packet should be allowed to carry across the Atlantic more than eighteen :ons of silver, or so much as ten tons of quick silver, the present ordinary freight ; but surely these points might better be left to the discretion , if individuals, and the rates of insurance. We are surprised to find that of thirty-seven packets, thirty-four are sailing vessels. The greater num ber of the latter are the old ten-gun brigs, which ate employed in this service, only because they are totally useless in any other. This class of vessels owed their origin to private pa+ronage, and to the mismanagement of our naval service. They are now nearly extinct, and will never be revived. The following are extracts from Brussels Papers received this morning : BRUSSELS, MARCH 23.—Yesterday the English Lega tion received a courier from the Hague. He is said to he the bearer of important despatches. He left the Hague on the 21st in the evening. At the very moment el his departure a courier was despatched to London. M. Vandermi , sen, who usually resides at Paris, has made an excursion to the Hague, where he appears to have procured documents calculated to refute Lord Pon sonby. _ _ The Chamber of Representatives, in its sitting yester day, discussed the articles of the Budg , t of the depart. ment of Foreign Affairs. The central sections had pro posed red,uctions, more or less considerab'e in the several items, particularly in the salaries of the Diplomatic Agents at foreign Courts. More of these reductions were agreed to, wholly or in part by the Chamber, as appears from the Wowing table. The allowances for London and Paris include the sala ries of a Secretary and Clerk : Places. Quality. Asked by Reduced Granted the Minis- by Central by the ter. Section. Chambers. Paris. Min.

Great anxiety is felt respecting the issue of the affairs of Italy. Persons who are in general well-informed believe that some may be found to arrange all the points which affect individual in terests. The most simple means to promote the general tranquillity would he, if M. Perier would be sensible that he has acted precipitately, and adopted a measure which is disapproved by his friends, as well as by his enemies. For in whose favour, and to what end, has the expedition been sent to Ancona, as the Pope has formally refused the offer of French troops, and the French Ministry declared it was entirely for the interest of the Papal See, and for the re-establishment of order in the Roman Legations that it sent I ,500 troops ? If M. Perier had any secret object it must be very closely concealed, since none of the French journals allude to it. Yesterday, however, a Secretatv of the Foreign office at Paris arrived here with despatches, and a speedy arrangement of all the differences respecting Rome is now spoken of. It is not known whether the French troops will immediately leave Ancona, and it is probable that this point is not positively settled. Our funds remain steady. The Ottoman Moniteur, of the 18th of February, gives some account of the negociations with the Viceroy of Egypt, to induce him to desist from his attack on Syria. He made such demands, in reply, that they could not he granted : but it is still to be expected that, with his age and experience, he will weigh the consequences of persist ing in his disobedience, and be sensible of the patience and the forbearance of the Sultan, for which he is indebted entirely to the recollection of his long-tried fidelity, and the unwillingness of the Sultan to spill the blood of his subjects. Should he unfortunately persist in his disobe dience, the punishment cannot be delayed. The Pachas of Koniah, Cesaria, &c., are ordered to assemble their troops at Aleppo. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The estafette from Paris this morning, brings a mixture of news—first, in relation to the affairs of Belgium, it states that the Secretary of the Russian Ambassador, sent to the Hague to consult with Count Orloff', had returned to Paris, it is said, with unsatisfactory news, and that the King of Holland conti nues obstinate. On the above subject, we have received the following by the French mail, which arrived this morning : They write from the Hague, that every thing was ready for the immediate departure of Count Orloff for London ; and it was generally thought that the affairs would be amicably settled, but all on a sudden, the departure of Count Orloff was stopped, and his destination changed from that of London to St. Petersburgh. Also, the express from Brussels states that the negociations have been broken off and the King of Hol. land refuses to ratify the treaty. If we may venture our opi nion on the aforesaid intelligence, and the information we de rive from respectable quarters, we look upon it as a Dutch Stock-jobbing report, and if we can rely on the source of our informants, we still have every reason to expect that in a short period our former information of the affairs being settled will prove correct. Secondly, the despatches received from the French Ambassador at Vienna at Paris is said to be highly sa tisfactory. They write from Bologne to the 15th of March that orders have been received at Rome, prohibiting all jour nals, French, English and even Italian. All letters were opened, and if they contained information they were burnt. It was reported, on the return of a courier from Vienna, one hundred thousand Austrians were going to assemble on the line of the Po. They write from Madrid that orders were sent on a sudden to the numerous corps proceeding to join the army of observa. Lion in Portugal, for some of them to return and proceed to the Py rennees. The Commander of St. Jean d'Acre has succeeded in getting in a convoy into that town, of ammunition and provisions. Halifax Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee House, to the 24th of February. They do not contain any news. THE FUNDS. The warlike reports in regard to Holland, have not had the least effect on the Funds this morning, and they maintain their prices of Saturday. They left off on that day at 833 ss, and opened at the same price, with little doing as yet. French Rentes, by estafette, 69f. 50c. HALF-PAST ONE. BERLIN, MARCH Is.—The whole of Prussia is at this moment on the peace establishment, and all the measures taken against revolutions and the cholera have been sup. pressed. It is said that Russia has addressed a dedira tion to the various Powers. on the organization of Poland. This country will he divided into three provinces, etch of which will have its p irticular representation, and will be administered by the Ministers. They write from Vienna of the 14th inst. that a grand diplomatic dinner was given by the French Amb ssador on the arrival there of the English Ambassador, Sir Frederick Lamb, and it was remarked that Marshal Maison was the first who received him. Our Funds hive continued steady during the whole of the morning at the same price. They opened /33i for the Account, and 831 I for Money, with scarce a bar gain doing. This is about the time when a new Committee is elected at the Stock Exchange, and we hear that an ob4tinate con test will ensue, as the gentlemen of the House wish to give the old Committee the sack, owing to the late discussion on a certain affair. In the Foreign Market the Dutch Funds are lower— they have been done at 43, caused by their coming from Amsterdam upwards of one-half per cent. lower. THREE 0' CL 0 Cir. Consols, 83 I. Mr. Glover, who died the other day in the Marshalsea prison, was the husband of the excellent actress Mrs. Glover, by whom she has several children, who have all been well educated, by the industry and care of their affec tionate mother. Mrs. Glover herself is one of the few admi rable comic actresses that now survive. It is a pity her great talents are not constantly exercised in the metropolitan theatres. Mrs. Glover, when Miss Betterton, made her first appearance at Covent.garden, in the character of Belsidera, in the tragedy of Venice Preserved. The Trustees and the Committee of Manage ment of the Garrick Club, in consequence of a recent disaster N a similar establishment, have invested a large portion of the floating balance which remained at their banker's in Exche. quer bills. An Act, more speciously than really beneficial to the poor, is now before the House, under the title of, " A Bill to authorize in enclosed parishes, the Letting of the Poor Allotments to Industrious Cottagers. The Bill authorizes the overseers to let by the year land, not less than one-third of, or more than, a whole acre, and to seize all the goods and chat tels of the poor if the rent be not paid at the end of the year. The only humane provision of the Act is a clause which di rects that the rent shall be applied to the purchase of coals, to be distributed to the poor in the winter season. The tolerance of our Established Church, and the freedom of our popular Government, which Sir Robert Peel applauded with the cheers of the House on Thursday night, are very forcibly illustrated by a Bill now before Par. liament. It is a Bill to repeal the law which inflicts the penalty of death, without benefit of clergy, upon any Catholic priest who shall celebrate a marriage between a Protestant and a Ca tholic. We doubt whether Algiers, or any spot of the globe, has such a proof of tolerance in its laws and customs as these Acts now on our statute book. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR proceeded with cause petitions to-day, but in consequence of the attendance o:' Mr. Pepys in the House of Lords, the greater part of the op posed petitions were ordered to stand over. His Honour, pre vious to our reporter leaving, had disposed of nearly a hundred unopposed petitions, none of them, however, embracing any points, or contained facts of the least interest to the public. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY). The House sat today at ten o'clock to hear appeals; the Lords in attendance were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of El don, and Lords Plunkett, Howard of Effingham and Bexley. RHODES v. DE BEAUVOIR. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL resumed and concluded hi arguments on behalf of the respondent on this part.heard ap peal. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN followed on the same side, and was addressing their Lordships when our reporter left. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A poor unfortunate woman was brought before Mr. Halls, the Magistrate, charged by one of the F division of police with being a disorderly prostitute. The officer swore distinctly that he had seen the defendant prowling about Long Acre, and endeavouring to pick up men ; and on Saturday night he saw her at her old calling, and he took her into custody. To a question from Mr. HALLS, the policeman swore that he had seen her in the streets every night of his life. The unfortunate woman declared most positively that for a fortnight before last Saturday she had been confined to her bed with severe illness, and that on that night she had come out for the first time. Mr. HALLS—How often before last Saturday night did you see her? Policeman—l have seen her every night, Sir. Mr. HALLS—Did you see her on the Friday night ? Po liceman—l did not, Sir. Did you see her on the Thursday night 2--I don't know that I did. Was it a week before ?—1 cannot tell—it might be. Mr- HALLS—I don't believe a word any of you say ; you have perjured yourself, you will swear through a deal board, — Go away, go away. Let the poor woman he discharged, she had no right to be brought here at all. The poor creature thanked the Magistrate and left the office. THE MARKETS -(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. There were considerable arrivals of all kinds of Grain last week, and a good return of Flour. This morning the market presented a large show of samples chit-fly the re mainder of last weeks bountiful supplies. In the Wheat trade fine samples meet a re idy sale, other sorts experience the same dullness as recently noticed, but prices of both are unaltered. Barley dull sale at last quotation. Beans and Pease are both heavy and rather cheaper. Oats have met a &attic demand, and may be reported Is. per quarter cheaper. The Flour trade is dull and prices unvaticd. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.

Bible delay, in answer to which they (the churchwardens) have appointed Wednesday next for the meeting. The neighbour. ing parishes are about to follow the example. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING.-Ar rived yesterday, the Lochiel, from Mobile; the Corsair, from Halifax; and Elizabeth, from Villa Nova. Arrived to-day, the Planet, from Zante, EXAMINATION OF WILLIAM BENBOW FOR A RIOT ON THE FAST DAY. This afternoon William Benbow was brought in custody be. fore F. A. ROE and N. CONANT, Esqrs., and the Rev. G. A. THURSLEY, at Marlborough-street Police Of. :ice on a warrant charging him with " unlawfully, riot ously, and routously assembling, together and with divers other persons, to the number of one thousand and more, on the twenty.first day of March instant, at the parish of St. Pancras, and continuing and remaining there for a long space of time, making and causing a great riot, rout, noise, and disturbance:' The prisoner, when asked his name, refused for some time to give it, and at length very pertly said, his name was William Benbow. A. J. List, Inspector of S division of police, deposed as follows On Wednesday, 21st inst. I was on duty with a party of my men in Theobald's-road, when I heard a riotous mob proceeding alongGreatOrmond-street and Queen-square, into Southampton row ; I went into Southampton-passage ; the mob then turn&' towards Lamb's Conduit-street ; considering they would come into Russell-square, I proceeded on towards Bernard. street, Russell-square; hearing the mob had gone towards Judd. street, I repaired to the New road. At that time a very large mob was passing St. Pancras New Church hooting and creating a great disturbance. I then went to Tottenham-court road, and at the end of Grafton-street, East, in Tottenham. court-road, I saw a body of men and boys in the New.road, making tbeir way towards Oxford-street. From their being dis. orderly, and having instructions to disperse any mob that I met with, I placed a company of men, to the number of 42, across the road. One or two of the leaders of the snob asked to be allowed to pass on ; being very noisy, I told them that I could not allow them to pass. At that time Mr. Benbow (the prisoner) came forward and asked why I prevented them proceeding on their route, or words to that effect. i told him I was acting according to my instructions. He then asked me which way they should go, and I replied I did not know, but they could not pass that way. He then said if I would not allow them to pass they must force their way. Looking round, and finding the men under my command completely surrounded by the mob, and every disposition shown to commence hostili ties, with great exertions I withdrew the men, and the mob then passed on without a blow being struck by the police, although one of my men was struck on the knee. There were from 1,500 to 2,000 persons present; the road was COlll. pletely blocked up. At the time when the prisoner asked which way they were to go, I said they must go back again. When he came to speak to me he advances! from the crowd. Cross-examined by Mr. Edwards, clerk to the prisoner's attorney—The crowd immediately about the prisoner was not peaceable ; the prisoner was not violent but he said they should force their way. I saw my men surrounded by the snob, but I did not see any of them struck. They were hooting and pressing round my men. It was a dense mob, and not a pro.. cession. Mr. ROE thought these questions immaterial. Mr. Edwards said his object was to show there was no riot nor any violence. Mr. ROE said that was a questio n o f l aw. ___. The witness in addition said, that the prisoner stated, their intention to be to go to Lincoln's Inn fields and there assemble and then to disperse. On Saturday night at half past nine o'clock he went to the prisoner's residence in Fleet-street, near Temple Bar, but found he had left them; he, however, apprehended him, at a private house in Theobald's-road, in a room, where about 15 persons were holding a sort of meet. ing, and passing resolutions. Witness took the pri soner away in a coach, and on the road to the station_ house the prisoner said, " We did not show you what we could have done; if we had, it would have surprised you." Thomas Lendegrun, police constable, deposed that he heard Mr. List tell the snob they could not go that way ; then the prisoner came up, touched List on his shoulder or his arm, and asked him what he wanted. Mr. List told him they must not go down the road; List asked where they were going to, anti the prisoner replied (as witness believed) to Moorfields. List said he could not allow them to pass, and the prisoner said they would pass ; eventually they did pass. There ap. peared to be about 2,000 or 3,000 persons in the mob. Wit. ness saw several stones thrown by the mob before Mr. List spoke, and while the police were coming up. . - Cross-examined—The stones' were thrown At the police, and witness also saw several sticks in the hands of the mob. List's evidence was then read over, and the witness said he could add nothing to it. He however said, he saw at least twelve stones thrown, and several of the mob had mop-sticks. By the prisoner --When List said prisoner could not pass, he replied " we shall go." James Cole, division S, No. 162, stated that he first saw the mob at half past twelve o'clock, in the neighbourhood of Queen-square, and watched its progress along the New-road. At St. Pancraws New Church they hallooed and shouted. The people were coming out of the church at that time. Witness and the rest of the police then went round and met the mob at the corner of Grafton. street and Tottenham-court-road, where they threw many stones at the police; one stone struck witness severely on the knee. Many of them had sticks, but they might have been walking sticks. Cross-examined by the prisoner —Stones were thrown from where the prisoner was, One person, a tall man, held up his umbrella and called " order, order," William Aggs, inspector of the S division of police, was in Gloucester street on Wednesday, when he saw a mob of about 2,000 persons or more; he did net know where they came from; this was about twenty minutes past twelve o'clock; witness and his men turned them back to the other end of Gloucester street, and they went westward. The defer. dant was with the mob. Mr. .1, Farquharson was in Finsbury-square at eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning ; the square was full of people, and they had mounted the railings of the houses and areas ; a few minutes eleven o'clock a procession started partly from the shop of a person named Watson, in Finsbury-square, and partly from the Philadelphian Universalist& The pri soner, a person named Hetherington, and another per son, a tall man, with an Umbrella, were among them ; they proceeded along Finsbury-square, down Sun-street, into Bi shopsgate.street, Cornhill, Cheapside, Ncwgate.street, Skinner. street, Farringdon-street, and Fleet-street to Temple -bar ; the policeman drawn across the Middlesex side of Temple. bar, and stopped the mob from passing ; they then im mediately turned up Chancery-lane, with the decided intention, as witness understood of proceeding to the West End of the town up Holborn : they were, however pre. vented by the police proceeding down Holborn, and they turned up Gray's-inn-lane. An attempt was made to proceed down the King's-road, but there the polio stopped them,land the ponce then went along Gray's-inn-lane, lane to Guildford-street, and turned clown Lamb's Conduit. street and Great Orrnand,street, into Queen's-square; then down Gloucester,street, at the bottom of which they were met by the police; and they then returned into Queen. square, and from thence immediately to Brunswick-square, Hunter-street, and Judd-street, to the New-road, and Tot tenham-court-road ; at the corner of Grafton street they were met by the police as described by the preceding wit. nesses. The leaders of the crowd in passing the police, turned down Chenies,street, and to South Crescent, where, by the intreaties of the load, rs, they dispersed. ---• Cross-examined—Witness went with them through the whole route; on each occasion when they were stopped by the police they returned without using the slightest violence. He had no doubt that he saw the prisoner first in Windmill. street. To a question whether there was any riot, rout, or violence Mr. Roe objected, because that was a matt_r of legal construe. tiiin for a superior tribunal He should on his own responsi. bility hold the prisoner to bail as being the leader, or one of the leaders of tue mob. This being the whole of the evidence, the Magistrates eon. suited together as to the amount of bail necessary to ensure the prisoner's appearance at the Sessions, Benbow declared that he had no property, the whole a what he once had having beep taken by the tax gatherers. Mr. ROE then observed, that it was of no us* to hold him to bail on his own recognizance, as he had !I* property to an swer for any default. ]Kventually'he was ordered to find four sureties in 501. each, or two in 1001. each, for his appearance to take his trial for the riot. ARREST OF BENBOW, THE BooKSELLER. - —Government are, it seems, determined to prevent a recur rence of the foolish exhibitions which endangered the peace of the metropolis on Wednesday last, by punishing those who in stigated the people to take part in them. Shortly after ten o'clock on Saturday night, Mr. Benbow, the bookseller, who has rendered himself conspicuous on that and several other oc. casions, was arrested, under the authority of a warrant from the Secretary of State, by List, an inspector of police, and con. vcyed to the Head Office at Whitehall. It is understood that warrants of a similar description havebeen also issued for the apprehension of Hetherington, Lovatt, Cleave, and the other persons who acted as leaders of the people on the day in ques tion. After Mr. Benbow was arrested he was handed over to Police Sergeant Heywoo& of the A division, who conducted him from the Head Office to the station house in Garden lane, Westminster, where he is now confined in close custody. His r,pprehension is reported to have taken piac3 in the city ; and the police seem to have a clue to the other parties who most distinguished themselves at the head of the processing► on the day of the fast. Since taken into custody he has conducted hiss. self in a very reserved manner, and has shown an indisposition to communicate on the subject of his apprehension with any one in authority. We are assured that no other arrest is contem. plated than that of William Benbow. The parties named In the Observer yesterday presented themselves at the Home. office, but were informed that no warrants were issued for their apprehension. In reviewing that very extraordinary Novel, " The Adventures of a Younger Son," The Spectator says. " This is a very clever book : it is a sort of fighting Don Juan, containing all descriptions of adventures in the East, except t hose of love; for he does not make love, but offers battle." To this latter assertion the numerous readers of the volumes will in all probability demur, for they cannot forget the character of Zels, the heroine—the whole of whose acquaintance with the hero, from his first romantic courtship of her, to her un timely death, is one dream of pure, exalted love. Zela occu. pies a very considerable part of the volumes; and her character has been pronounced Daily equal to the Medora, the Haidee, and the Myrrha of the Author's friend, Lord Byron. Alexander Rowe, E-q., of Torpoint, was killed near Barnstaple last week by a fhll from his horse. This gen tleman was brother to Sir Joshua Rowe, Chief Justice of Ja maica.--Cornubiey. i i i 74E. Z .
