S minutes after 7. expenditure of ten millions sterling for the purpose of providing food for the starving population, and work for the able-bodied labourers—when the English people have, with one accord, consented to the con tinuance of many burdens pressing most heavily on the national industry, and debarring the poorer classes of many of their humble comforts, and a subscrip• tion already exceeding 200,0001. sterling has been collected by voluntary contributions with the same benevolent object, it might have been expected that the recipients of this bounty would be actuated by feelings of gratitude towards their bene volent benefactors, and that they would at least re frain from slandering or uttering invectives against; the Government or the people by whom such exten sive liberality has been evinced. It is, how ever, with the deepest regret that we find those who should know better things, who are the ap pointed pastors and teachers, and who possess the most unbounded influence over the people, de parting from their proper sphere, and heaping the most opprobrious epithets on the English Ministry and English people. Such a proceeding may be productive of the most mischievous consequences, not only in its effect upon the minds of the Irish sufferers, but also on the contributors on this side of the Channel, who, seeing their gifts slighted and de spised, may be disposed to feel less favourably towards those who appear to be tainted with such culpable ingratitude, and to refuse to sturdy . beggars what would most gladly be extended to more humble sup pliants. We trust, however, that the sentiments to which we have alluded, and, which are embodied in reso- lutions adopted at a meeting of Roman Catholic clergymen recently held at Ballinrobe, and presided over by the Rev. JAMES M'HALE, are not generally participated in ; nothing can possibly justify the use of language such as they have indulged in. What' has been well termed the anti-Russell mania must have attained a fearful pitch indeed, when we find persons who should be the most anxious to allay any irritation and to induce their flocks to bear with patience and submission the unavoidable privations and misery consequent upon the mysterious visitation by which they have been afflicted, calling on our SOVEREIGN to dismiss from her Councils those who have acted with such magnanimity towards Ireland, and styling them " the heartless and cruel Ministers, whose policy, unparalleled for indifference to human life, has brought one of the fairest portions of the empire to the ♦erge of destruction, and consigned thousands of the youth of Ireland to a premature grave ;" and again, "of the alien spirit and alien feelings exhibited through alien functionaries, in carrying on the public works of the country, as affording a melancholy proof of hatred to Ireland and contempt of its feelings that have characterised the present, as well as all other alien Ministers." We should not have noticed this melancholy exhi bition were it not that it would be unjust to the people generally to let it be supposed that. such was the feeling of a majority, or even of a numerous class. Those who are deeply afflicted should not have any necessary aid withheld on account of the indignation that must naturally be excited by the perusal of such a document. The "soup" should not be withdrawn from the famishing poor because those gentlemen have been pleased to term it "degrading and demoralising;" nor should other measures of relief be denied because it is stated " that they must be a mockery, unless the funds of the Established Church are devoted to the purpose." Whatever may be the views of any classes in the sister kingdom as to the nature of the measures that should be adopted, however widely they may dissent from the policy of the Government, that dissent should be expressed in becoming and temperate language, and such as might be expected to proceed from the lips of Christian men. They may be well assured that such would have a far more beneficial effect, and be more calculated to attain the desired object, than a tirade of such senseless violence and vituperation as that to which we have reluctantly adverted. The question of secondary punishments and trans ortation was again on Monday, in a desultory manner, brought under the notice of the I-louse of Lords. Our readers are already aware that Earl GREY took (bccasion last week, in a speech of considerable length and ability, to communicate to their Lordships an important change which the Government had deter mined upon making, for the two years next ensu ing, in the system of transportation and that the main feature of the alteration proposed would consist in retaining prisoners, under the above sen tence, in this country, to be, in the first instance, confined in various penal establishments, conducted upon a plan better calculated than any hitherto pur sued to work the reformation of criminals, and then to expatriate them for the remainder of their sentences upon conditions advantageous to themselves and the community at large. It was suggested, in the outset, that, before the Government undertook to adopt, as a general principle, so wide a departure from the long established practice of carrying this species of criminal punishment into execution, they ought to introduce a Bill for the purpose, and obtain the approbation of Parliament in its favour. Earl GREY conceived this course would be highly inconvenient, and that it was not necessary. On Monday night the objection was re newed by Lords BROUGHAM (who announced that Lord LYNDHURST concurred in his view), STANLEY, ASHBURTON and ELLENBOROUGIL The force of it was, however, combated by the Marquis of LANs DOWNE, Lord CAMPBELL, and Earl GRBY. Upon a review of the respective arguments, we consider tho better and more constitutional plan would be to ob tain an Act of Parliament. Inasmuch as it will he laid down as a general rule that, provided the criminal evinces an exemplary conduct, the period of his sentence will be commuted to one-half, the pre vailing effect of Earl GREY'S scheme will be to substitute imprisonment for transportatation. The change intended is, therefore, of a most important character. This being so, Parliament should be con sulted, in order that some security should be had for uniformity, on the part of the Executive, in criminal proceedings, even where the alteration mooted is not originally designed to be rendered a permanent one; for Governments, as we know, are uncertain in their duration, and it is not desirable that their suc cessors i❑ power should be left at liberty, according to a variety of individual views, to vary the mode in which the highest class of secondary punishment shall he enforced. Punishment, to be effectual, should be certain, and defined as accurately as possible in pro portion to the crime committed ; but, it appears to us, that this certainty, which is held to be one of the chief elements of punishment that operate most satis factorily in restraint of crime, would be seriously compromised, were so large a discretion to he suffered to rest with the Executive as is herein recommended by the Colonial Secretary—a discretion, be it observed, not for exceptional cases, but to be exer cised with the view of influencing an entire change in the existing system of transportation. Earl GREY urges that he means to enter upon the alterations, which he has outlined to Parliament, merely as an experiment to last for two years. This period would assuredly be too limited to give a fair trial to his scheme ; but, as we mainly approve of his Lordship's plan, whatever be the period to be fixed upon, we see no objection to the Senate's being invited to sanction it as an experimental measure. Not to seek for this assent would be establishing a precedent that might hereafter be turned to vicious purposes. An additional reason why Earl GREY should proceed by a Bill in this matter is furnished by the discordant views which it on Monday appeared are entertained amongst Peers of the highest legal attainments. If the Colonial Secretary and Lord CAMPBELL be right as to the position they have assumed, the question should be set at rest by a declaratory Bill. If otherwise, special powers should be conferred by an oriinal Act of Parliament. The sub ject is of far too grave a character to allow of its being summarily disposed of ; it must undergo a thorough investigation. It is not sufficient to quote what has been done by former Secretaries of State t fir they appear to have already taken too much upon themselves. In conclusion, we quite agree with Lord ASHBURTON that it would be strangely ano malous that the judges should go on, year after year, passing sentences which the Crown had pre determined not to execute. The prerogative of the Crown must not be unduly strained. Advices from Constantin4le to the 18th February have been received. Oa the 17th an important modification took place in the Cabinet. The Minister of Finance, NAFIZ Pecue tendered his resignation, which Was accepted by the SULTAN. The Councillor of the Grand Vizier, SARIM EFFENDI, was appointed Minister of Finance, and elevated to the dignity of Muchin, or Pacha with three tails. SARIM EFFENDI is considered one of the ablest men in Turkey, and his nomination to that post must tend to strengthen the Ministry. The whole of the corps diplomatique have expressed their approval of the ccnduct of the Turkish Govern ment in recalling its ambassador from Greece. An auto• graph explanatory letter from King OTPIO had been re ceived by the SULTAN, but it was considered that it would meet with no attention. COLETTI, the Greek Minister, who has throughout these transactions been the mere tool of M. PISCATORY, the French Ambassador, hopes to drive Turkey into a war, in which case he reckons con fidently upon the assistance of France, but Turkey will most probably not go to war. She has ample means of revenging herself by fiscal measures directed against Grecian commerce—these she will adopt, and by so doing inflict more injury on Greece in one month than she could inflict by hostilities in a year. Madrid papers of the 2d instant have arrived. The debate on the Address continued in the Chamber of Deputies. Senor LUJAN, in the previous sitting, had attacked the policy of the late Ministers in regard to the royal marriages, and had been replied to by Senor MAR TINEZ DE LA ROSA. Queen CHRISTINA was to leave Madrid on the 7th. Senor ISTURITZ has been appointed Ambassador to the Court of London. MADRID BOLSA, MARCH 2.—The Three per Cents. were done at 30i for cash ; the Five per Cents., at 19; the Debt without interest, at 6; the Coupons, at 17. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. In the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday M. FOULD developed, at some length, his proposition for expunging from the great book of the public debt the sum of 11.584,983 francs Three per Cent. Rentes redeemed by the Caisse d'Arrondissement, or sinking fund, between July 1, 1833, and Dec. 31. 1846 ; these rentes, both in capital and arrears, to be annulled on the 22d of June, 1847. The Minister of Finance, in opposing the mo tion, contradicted the rumcurs that were in circulation, to the effectthat the Treasury was unable to pay the halt yearly dividend on the Five per Cents. due the 22d inst. On the contrary, never during the last twenty. six years had the resources of the Treasury been so abundant. On the sth of March the cash available amounted to 45,000,000 f., besides 73,000,000 f. in paper, in all 118,000,000 f. The Minister also declared that he had no intention of raising a loan. The debate was then adjourned to Monday. The Journal des Debats states that Queen CHRISTINA will arrive in Paris on the 15th. The same journal thus comments on Lord Jonx RUSSELL'S speech on the Cracow question, in which the Noble Lord characterised the reiterated protest of the French Chambers, on the subject of the nationality of Poland as superfluous:— " For our part we cannot regard as useless that permanent protest periodically entered in its Address by our Legislature. It has its object and effect, were it only to prevent the pre scription of an inalienable right. We perfectly appreciate Lord J. Russell's motives in opposing Mr. flume's motion, for its adoption would require the execution of an Act which is exclusively within the attributes of the Executive power. It i 3 of little importance in our opinion, whether England continue or cease to pay 100,0001. to Russia; but what is of importance, and what will result from the debate, is, that England, through the organ of her representa tives, energetically protests against the violation of treaties. France, in particular, must benefit by these discussions, for they demonstrate to the world that she was not the first to infringe conventions more injurious to her than to any other country. Lord Palmerston, on a former occasion, said, in bolder terms than ever used in France, that if the treaty were violated on the Vistule, it could be legitimately vio lated en the Rhine and on the Po. A day will probably arrive when the Powers who have despoiled and confiscated the last vestige of the independence of Poland will curse that hour of infatuation. But they would have it so. They have sowed wind, and may possibly reap storms, and, if so, they can only accuse their own insane avidity." The Cassini steam-frigate is fitting out at Toulon for a private mission to La Plata, and is to sail on the 15th. The scarcity of grain sill continues, and notwith standing the sums voted by Government and by the municipal council, for the relief of the destitute, the dis tress still continues. The Journal de la Meuse says— " A great numbt r of farmers in Champagne expect to reap in June a certain quantity of early rye, 14 }licit pro duces a good quality of bread. Thus, a few months only separate us from the period so impatiently expected, when the fruits of the present year will afford us, we have every reason to hope, an ample compensation for the privations we now endure." The fall of one-half per cent., which took place on our Stock Exchange on Friday, astonished the speculators of Pans on Sunday ; particularly, as it was said to be founded on the state of relations of Greece and Turkey, on which not the slighest feeling of alarm was entertained in France. Another statement was that the news from London had occa sioned the fall ; but except a decline in pricey on the Bourse, brought about by the manoeuvres of the Bulls on Wednes day, nothing in the situation of af f airs in France on that day justified an expectation tba. the London market would be • tray weakness. " But for this circumstance," says a pri vate letter, " the speech of the Minister of Finance, yester day, would, from its satisfactory character, have caused a rise of a half per cent. to-day. As it is, prices cannot be said to have gone down. The Three per Cents. aro 78f. 30c. buyers."

Sales, 3,000 bales kmetican at 6 1 4 d. to 7'%d., 20 Pernams at 7%d., 500 Egyptian at 7 3 / 4 d. to 9d., 500 Surat at 334 d. to 434 d., and 40 Sea Island at 15 1 ,0. to 18 3 / 4 d. per lb.—Railway Shares were flatter. The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. Lamond and Co., went off very flatly, and prices were considered a shade lower. During the sale, the Count de Montemolin entered, and seemed much interested by the method of dis posing of the property. The West India mail-steamer has not yet been announced, bat it will be remembered that she has met with very con trary winds. The loss of the Tiber steamer has occasioned quite a gloom in shipping circles. though it is a happy circumstance that it was attended with so little loss of life. Parties well ac quainted with the lc cality wilere this unfortunate disaster has occurred, concur in the statement as to the extreme danger to which vessels are exposed there, and with the prevalence of fog, of course that danger must have been greatly increased. It may be mentioned as a circumstance which at the present moment is of some importance, seeing the general failure of the potato crops, that the distinguised philosopher, Baron Humboldt, proposes, with the sanction of the Prussian Government, to carry out a s yst e matic arrangement of meteorological ob , ervations in Germany, making available the telegraphs upon the different railways. The object and the means proposed for its accomplishment appear to be alike excellent. We regret to state that the North of England Joint-Stock Bank at Newcastle has been unable to make up matters, so as to prosecute its business, and, consequently, that it has suspended payment at head-quarters. The intelligence of this event, which was of necessity partly anticipated, reached town this morning. The Stock Market has rallied a little this morning, and the accounts from Paris are considered to be rather more favourable in respect to the position of the Treasury. Con sols have ranged from 89% to 89% for present transfer, and from 893 to 894 for Account. The scrip of Consols is % to 1 ,4 prem., being also a partial rally. Exchequer-bills have t , alised 3s. to 6s. premium. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been 91%, but are now 9114%. Bank Stock is worth 203 to 204. The Foreign investments have been very steady. Spankh Five per Cents. realise 22%, and the Three per Cents. 33 3 /. Portuguese Bonds are merely nominal. For railway shares the market is dull, but at the same time rather firmer. We cannot quote an actual improvement in prices except in one or two instances, the French lines being most conspicuous in this respect. BRITISH FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK. PRE: 'ES.

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of public business. The Bishop of Worcester and the Rev. W. CAden, the chaplain to the R!;zlit Hon. the Lord Ktyor, was appointed by the Lord Mayor to preach the itpital mons, and directions were given to apply for Christ's Church for the occasion. 4-7 e ) ' • • 4 - • - fihnuxng Ant LONDON. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1847. The Lords met at Five. A short, but somewhat sharp conversation took place between the Earl of LUCAN, Lord BROUGHAM, and the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, on the subject of the attack made by Lord BROUGHAM on a former evening, on the Irish landlords, which ended by Lord BROUGHAM moving t'or returns of the names of the plaintiffs and defendants in all processes for rent due in November, 1846, which were brought on for trial on the 11th .January last, at Balling, in the county of Mayo. The motion was agreed to, and their Lordships ad• j ourned. The Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr, SHARI.IAN:CRAWTORD gave notice+ that on the 23d of March he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the Act, making Parliament septennial. Mr. EWART moved for leave to bring in a Bill to gbolish the punishment of death. Dr. BOWRING seconded the motion. A debate ensued, in the course of which the House was addressed by Sir G. GREY, Mr. EitiME, Sir H. Is- Gus and Mr. BROTHERTON, when the House divided, the numbers being— For the motion —. 41 Against it . 81 Majority —4o Mr. MILNER GIBBON obtained leave to bring in a Bil: for the collection of agricultural statistics. The other orders being disposed of, the House ad• journed at a Quarter to Eight o'clock. Lively and humorous as was the speech delivered on Monday evening by the lion. Gentleman the Member for Bath, we are gratified that the pro position which it embodied received such an imme diate and decided negative. As the Right Hon. Baronet, the late Premier, observed towards the close of the discussion, although the question put by Mr. ROEBUCK was of the highest importance, this was most assuredly not the fittest moment for its con sideration. To describe the gist of the proposal in plain language, it amounts to a demand that a rigid system of taxation should be imposed upon Ireland in the very midst of the crisis by which its fortunes have been rendered insolvent. The effect of this extraordinary and ill-timed motion was striking and instantaneous. A. movement, par tially of panic and partially of indignation, was per ceptible among the phalanx of Irish representatives. Nor was the opposition without the sympathy or co operation of the English Members. Parliament Scarcely ever evinced a greater unanimity in the re jection of any scheme. All sections of political opinion coincided in railing against the introduction of such a plan at a time so peculiarly unpropitious ; and the dismay arid hostility manifested on its in felicitous introduction was scarcely inferior to that expressed by the followers of EDWARD I. when startled by the voice of the bard on the Welsh mountains. " Stout BENTINCK stood aghast in speechless trance; To arms! cried LaisoucliznE, and couched his quiver ing lance." We are by no means amazed at the cordiality with which Mr. ROEBUCK'S proposition was rejected, although we must confess that there is no small de: izree of justice in his vituperations of a considerable number of the Irish landowners. What, let us in quire, however, is the bare practicability of this extension of taxation beyond St. George's Channel? Is it practicable ? Would it--could it tend in any appreciable extent to the increase of the revenue ? There is an old stubborn proverb which informs us of the impossibility of getting blood from a flint ; and we might as well practise phlebotomy upon a flint as endeavour to extract money from a penniless community, or expect to obtain a per centage upon incomes which the landlords find it impossible to gather in. Besides this, it becomes a question whether the landowners of Ireland are not already in a position somewhat analogous to the position of those among their brethren in England who are directly subject to the drain of the income-tax. A few syllables will at once explain our meaning. Pre suming that the income-tax, as levied in the other portions of the United Kingdom, were extended to Ireland, a sum approaching to 450,0001. would be collected, seeing that the average rate of taxation upon incomes is 3 per cent., and calculating that the average rental of Ireland amounts annually to 15,000,000/. Now it is determined by Parliament, that out of the 10,000,0001. advanced for the salvation of the starving peasantry, the landlords of Ireland shall repay one entire half, namely 5,000,0001., in instalments, extending over a period of ten years. In point of fact, then, this is a fair equivalent for the revenue derivable from an income-tax. But Mr. RoEnucz. is solicitous to behold no longer such a striking disparity between the English landowner and Irish landowner that the former is subjected to an onerous pay ment from which the latter is altogether released. We should rejoice ourselves to see the equalization of the burden.upon both.thesejdivisions of landlords, but-- and just now that important but comprises everything —but we must first see the influx of rental into the pockets of both classes of landlords equalized. As the Honourable Member for Kilkenny very justly observed, the incomes of the landowners of Ireland are now more than ever precarious, dwindling down in proportion to the deepening im poverishment of their afflicted tenants. And it is these precarious and attenuated incomes that the Hon. Member for Bath would submit to a strenuous and inexorable taxation. The extraordinary division of 121 to 26 evinced significantly enough the sentiments with which the House of Commons listened to this inappropriate proposal. Morally persuaded that the proprietary •of Ireland should be called upon to assist earnestly in the extrication of their suffering fellow-countrymen from the abyss of their present desolation, we cannot coincide with Mr. RoEnucx in regarding this as the most oppor. tune moment for enlarging the liability of 5,000,0001. which already impends over, anti which they must liquidate within the ten years ensuing. From this consideration especially, and from the nearly unparalleled poverty of the island, we con gratulate the Irish landowners upon the decisive rejection of Mr. R OEBUCK ' S sc h eme . At a per i o d o f less wretch e d ness , the question may be revived with m ore generosity and subjected to a calmer deliberation. When England .has so nobly and generously come forward for the relief of Irish destitution—when the Imperial Legislature has so readily sanctioned the HAMBURGH MAIL. STOCKHOLM, FEB. 26.—The elders of the Jewish communities is Stockholm, Nooksping, and Gottenburg, have addressed petitions to the Government, praying for equal rights with the other Swedish subjects. These petitions are referred to the Board of Trade to make a report upon them. WARSAW, FEB. 28.—Prince Paskelvitch left this city yesterday for St. Petersburg. According to a letter from Bivaria of 29th February, the elevation of Madetnoiss•llo Lola Alontes to the rank of Countess of Sternberg, had already been carried into effect. HANB , RGEt , MARcit 3.—The h ar b our i s at present free from ice ; but the Channel has been so filled with ice from isb,,ve, that ships are again hindered from leaving the city. Off Starde and before the Oste, th, re is so much drift ice, that the steamers which arrived yesterday, had great difficulty in making their way through it. lIAMBU SG IT, MARCH 4.—There being a slight frost l as t night, the drift ice still remains in the Channel, leaving the harbour, indeed, free, y, t still impeding the departure of t he ships. 11..csinunan, MARCH s.—Here and lower down there is still some drift ice in the Channel, and in the neigh bouring sandbanks.

Mackelize, corn mer• chant, Beauly—who has been in the habit of purchasing grain extensively- in Sutherlandshire for the last fourteen years—shipped a cargo of Barley at the Little Ferry, with out the least obstruction. As yet no riots have been at tempted in that county, and, we are glad to learn, there is no probability of any taking place, the Duke having provided so liberally for the people. After the shipment was com pleted, Mr. Mackenzie treated those assisting him with a bumper of "Royal Brackla," when success to Mr. 1 .11 4 1 C.., and the safe arrival of the vessel at her destination, was drunk with cheers.—Ross-shire Adrertiser.

Among the stewards, too, we find the names of some of the most influential Highlanders located in London. That the ball will be fully attended, and the funds for the relief of the distressed Highlanders be greatly benefited, we cannot for a moment doubt. It has about it the two great elements of success—nationality and charity, Every Highlander will remember the old cry " Shoulder to shoulder," which has carried them so frequently on to victory. Be that the watchword now in the cause of charity. Highlanders of London, your brethren in the north are in distress. On to the rescue ! Shoulder to shoulder !

The Town Clerk int' rmed the Court that he had been directed by the committee of the whole Court of Common Council to apply for a copy of the opinion of counsel on the Qualification Bill upon the case submitted by the Court of Aldermen. Alderman HUMPHERY—I move that the case, and the opinion be at once supplied to the committee. Alderman WILSON wished to be informed with wiat object the committee made such an application.—(Hear.) Alderman FAREBROTHER said he should decidedly oppose the motion. If the proper time had arrived he should entertain no objection to give to the committee copies of any cases and opinions they might have re. ceived, but he understood the committee of the whole Court were about to draw up a case of their own and to obtain opinions upon it, and it might be expedient that the Court of Aldermen should see shat that case, and these opinions were, before they produced their own. Besides the Recorder, who was cne of the authorities to whom the question was submitted was not present.— (11,ar, hear.) He trusted that so amicable an arrange ment might be made between the two Uourts as would identify the cases and opini.:ns of both. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL deprecated the notion of withholding from the committee what they were most undoubtedly entitled to as part of the corporation. If they had reas-n to be asham , A of an, thing that might be an excuse for refusal, but the imnutation ought not to be allowed to go torth to the public, that they were afraid to exhibit their proceedings. For his own psrt he was per3,u,ded th,t the more the proceedings of the Court were known the more would the body be re spected. Alderman FAREBROTHER was of opinion that. the Court would exercise sound judgment in keeping back for a time the ease and opinion. Alderman WILSON thought the application was.not made in the friendly spirit calculated to give it effieacy. It was understood that the Committee of the whole Court meant to go for a decision to the Queen's Bench, and would thus come into collision with the Court of Aldermen. Under such circumstances, it would be a serious mistake to supply an adverse party with materials to carry on the contest. Alderman Woon thought such suspicions adapted to dissipate all chances of amicable arrangements, and that the refusalof the modest request of the Committee of the whole Court, to be furnished with the case and opinions so essentially necessary to both branches of the Corporation would be injurious in an extreme degree.-- (Hear, hear.) They were all, it was to be presumed, aiming at the accomplishment of a pubic good, and instead of withholding information from each other, they were bound especially to supply all facts likely to be made subject to argument and discussion. There should be no concealment, no apparent encouragement to a disgraceful system of chicanery.—(llear, hear.) The subject ought not to be treated as one involving the interests of private persons. Alderman CorELAND thought differently. In his opinion, the question ought to be treated strictly as a matter between individuals. The conduct pursued by the Common Council manifested a strong tendency to personalities of a nature not very equivocal, and cer tainly placed them in the light of adversaries to whom it would not be at all beneficial to yield any advantage. —(hear, hear.) . . Sir PETER LAURIE was sorry to hear Alderman Copeland designate the Common Council as adver saries to the Court of Aldermen. He by no means looked upon the two Courts as opposed to each other. They were mutually dependent upon and supported by each other. All the intorm.i.tion they possessed was on their records, and it was absurd in one branch of the Corporation to attempt to withhold any portion of that information from the other, particularly as the voice of the public, by whore opinion both Courts were and ought to be governed— (Cries of " No, no," and " Hear, hear")—was decided upon it. Alderman NIUSGROVE considered that the application of the Committee of the whole Court showed a dispo sition in the members of the Common Council to conci liation, and he thought it would he wise to refer the subject to a Committee, with power to consult the Itecordi r and the other legal authority who had given his opinion upon the c isc, as to the propriety of deliver ing a copy to the Committee of the whole Court.— (Hear.) Alderman Musgrove moved an amendment to that effect. _ . Alderman IIumPHERY, who was called upon to with draw the original motion, peremptorily refused to do so. lie insisted that the whole of the Corporation should be trade acquainted with the case and ovinions. lie could not understand why the Court was alarmed at exhibit ing their case. If it wore good, then there could be no ground for not adopting it ; and if it were bad, the sooner it wa, got rid ~f the beAer. Alderman CuaLis approved of submitting the matter to a Committee, and the amendment was finally adopted by 10 to 5. ABOLITI , N OF TRANSPORTATION, &C. Alderman COPELAND took the opprtuntty, afar the Remembrancer had stated the procee,iings in Patios ment by which the city of Lund .n was 1;1(..ly to be effected, to call the attention of th.- Court to a subjrc which he considered to be of the greatest importance to the social interests of the country— he ro , ant the abuli Lion of the penalty of transportation.—(ll, sr. hear.) He recommended tilt -, attentive perusal of L,rd Denman', speech to all who wished for the sound.-st views upon the great theme of the punishment of eriminals.—(llear, hear) He begged also to draw the atten ion of the Court to the projected measure for the removal of Smithfield market, and he represented the necessity of obtaining all the information connected with the profits arising from that market preparatory to opposition. Sir PETER LAURIE said that no man possessed more profound knowledge on the subject or the puniAment of criminals than the high authority quoted by Aldka man Copeland. Ile was delighted to find that Lord Denman and Lord Brougham were earnestly engaged in investigating matters of such importance to all society, and he hoped that amongst the changes which were to take place, the disgraceful practise of sentencing crimi nals to punishments which they well knew themselves they could not be subjected to would be put an end to. Alderman Woon condemned in very strong terms the plan adopted in Millbank prison, which PA considered to be governed upon the principle of the most perfect con tempt of the lives and reformation of the wretched crea tures confined within its walls. It was not long since the public feeling was outraged by the history of an ex hibition of military flogging. That scene did not sur pass the punishment inflicted upon a prisoner confined in the Bastile Penitentiary, where it appeared, from the late returns, twenty of the inmates had attempted sui cide, and four had succeeded in destroying themselves._ (Hear, hear.) Alderman Wood proceeded to enumerate the cases of rigid punishment to which the returns re ferred, and said that while such a system existed it was absurd in Englishmen to talk of the revolting instances of suffering in the French Bastile, which that of Mil bank equalled in horrors. Alde . rman SIDNEY differed from those who had pre ceded him. He considered that Alderman Wood had taken a very exaggerated view of the evils of the Mill bank penitentiary, and had charged persons with inhu manity who were really specimens of charity and kind feeling. He insisted that the congregated plan as to prisoners was the sure mode of preventing the possi bility of reformation, and he regretted to be obliged to say that one of the City prisons still afforded evidence of all the evils which spring up amongst the most aban doned criminals, who were huddled together to expiate their delinquencies. Alderman CHALLIS, as Sheriff, and constant visitor of the City prisons, denied the accuracy of Alderman Sid ney's statements, at the same time that he gave that gentleman every credit for sincerity, and for the purest desire to benefit his fellow creatures.—(Hesr, hear.) The RECORDER said, with reference to the alleged ins fficacy of transportation, that in his opinion that in efficacy aros from the want of a proper system abroad. H. re the conversation dropped. THE ATTORNEYS OF THE MAYOR'S COURT. The RECORDER, in alluding to the case brought by Mr. Ashurst, for the purpose of establishing his right of prdcti-ing us an attorney of the Mayor's Court, upon the ground that he practised in one of the Courts above, re marked that the gentlemen who had been so long prac tising exclusively in ►he Ma} or's Court, were certainly entitled to receive all the money they had paid to the orporation for their places.—Adjourned.

DE kTII OF WILLIAM HAIG, ESQ., PROCURATOR- FiscAL, (11..isnow —We regret to record the death of Wil liam Haig, Esq., Procurator-Fiscal of this city, by typhus fever, on Thursday morning last, in the 50th year of his age. Mr. Haig was appointed fiscal of the[city, by the first Reform Municipal Corporation, in the year 1833; so he held office during the uninterrupted period of thirteen years. He was a kind-hearted man. The generosity of his nature sometimes interfered with the strict discharge of his official duty; but he was always at his post, at the police-office, on Mun day ruing, and throughout the week, We saw him offictatirg there in apparently good health within the last ten days; but he has been suddenly cut off, we are afraid, by contagion in the public:service, in the vigour of ha life.—Scotch Be forinsrs Gautte. PORTuGAL. BY OVERLAND EXPRESS FROM OPORTO. (From the Times.) We have received an overland dispatch from our cot' respondent in the city of Oporto, communicating ligence of which the f o ll ow i n g are the most importall points:— " OPORTO, pSis• 21. I have the painful duty of announcing to you tu, tl total loss of the Oriental and Peninsular ComPO3.P steam-ship Tiber. She left Lisbon yesterday mam at $ o'clock, with about twelve cabin passengers, f.elf second-class, and several Gallegos returning to fig°' She was the bearer, it is said, of important dispatch° for the Commodore of the inner squadron here, and for the Consul; and Captaia Bingham, w h o corarasodeat, the Tiber, in endeavouring to make into this diffiell' port in a dreadful fog which has overhung this coast fore the last three days, unfortunat e ly ran his ship °sh ll?res at a point of land near Villa de Conde, abou t 12 co o from this'. No want of diligence or skill can b e iin t ini o d to the captain, as lie kept the most active 10 ,11,-etI " L 's fired guns repeat, dly, wlu-n he judged he VN int this neiabbourhood. The last time he cast the lead be ' e bo , he had 17 fathoms, and he supposed he was off 0 .46 a moment before he struck. yid 1 ‘ The event took place soon after noon this day, b before an hour elapsed the ship broke up and beets° , total wreck. The Gallegos, in endeavouring t o 10Wrciel the ship's boats, stove them all, and every soul on L° would have perished, if the people from the shore bail not gone off in la,:ats and saved nearly all the pass en g e and crew. One old Spanish General, whose nary' 1 , have not been able to learn, was washed off the ° ec Of and lost. I have spoken to Captain Stephens , Ilte 0 f the Superb, 80-gun ship; to Commander Pascoe, late; :he Jackal steamer; to Mr. Niele, a merchant oandf 13‘31' fe fast; to the purser and stewardess of the Tiber, a young English lady, governess of a family At Cady ail of whom escaped without other damage than the lc-a of their luggage. Captain Bingham also escaped , another captain belonging to the company, whose Pi"- eljl e I have not heard. The conduct of the country p o was admirable—they refused reward, and render 4 most useful services. " Mr. Millar, the agent of the company, on heariaPti this event, at seven o'clock, instantly communicat edlgi ,,, the Consul and Captain Robb, the senior officer of t'; squadron. He has gone to Villa de Conde to Pr i)t h ge o whatever property can be saved. I fear the dispa tch er are all lost, but I understand the Bloodhound sled; is to be sent to-morrow, if the fog will pernait, to She de Conde, to pick them up, if they can be found. 00 is then to go to the Admiral at Lisbon, and it depa cls , - ,1 the Admiral whether the mails now made up herea°"/0 Vigo, for the Tiber, shall be dispatched home 1 0 s h : days, or be retained for the next s We bare - teamer. heard nothing as yet of the steamer which should left Southampton on the 17th, and is due he re night, and great anxiety is naturally entertained far oTeril safety, as one of those periodical fogs which this coast for several days has just set in. 1 , 11 ; 1 ,1 3 prepared very long dispatches for the Tiber, part of 1 ",', 1 1 are now at Vigo, and part at the Castle of the VII but lest those communications should be delayed bl°l3citbe reasonable period, I give you a full summerY of of of news, and refer you to the said letters for a wi r '' very interesting particulars. " Marshal Saldanha, with 7,000 men, 900 of 1 01°113 , 6 7 cavalry, is at Vendas Novas and Oliveira de A te at' three or four leagues south of Oporto. He has tr T ened daily to cross the river at Corveiro, and he " 3 4 cli be appointed all his friends by not having done a° , had an opportunity, which may not again occur , f tercepting Das Antas on hi s r e t urn f ro m Vienna, a ti " b ° e striking a blo w whi c h m i g ht h ave b ee n fatal f ° l,o - 0, Junta. No one can understand what Saldanha as he has allowed reinforcements of every kind to 0° 0 in, and the Junta a re now p re p are d to g i ve him a °lc reception. v ivy "'The Queen's General Casal, who P rop osed a stand again s t D as A n t as a t Vi anna , has a ban s., ° ' l : 0 ' that city. He ma d e a s h ow o f fi g h ting a t Ponte d e not leaving two h un d re d men i n th e C ast l e o f Vilso nth ; A - ge on the appro ac h o f D as A n t as h e b ro k e down the b r i j a and retreated to the frontier at Valenca. Das Al ltgs gia not pursue him, and entered in triumph into Aria° ll , s 'i v ee was preparing to reduce the castle, when be r e Th,ita several urgent dispatches from the Junta recalling re to Oporto. ge It was thought that Casal's moveme nt° girl feints to draw Das Antas away from this city , sbo time to Saldanha, to cross the river and intercept t Das Antas obeyed, and he and his division of 2,000 P are in Oporto, and at Villa Nova do Fanaileao, ' b r distance from it. The old General Povoas ba s a t °I come in, and as the Junta are making the g reB i, -e Y Saldanha efforts. I believe they can now outnumber troops, and some of their force is in admirable order. '• The Queen's cause has r ece iv e d a grea t blow by til : desertion of the Porto steamer. This merchant boat desertion stearnehr had been hired at Lisbon and fitted up as a and was very userul in carrying dispatches al°l3girtiav coast, and assisting in the blockade. On leaving 1 ' 'e t , two days since the steward and crew mutinied, °!e., powered the officers, and then brought the the Douro and surrendered her to the Jun ta ' f , nr io, Junta has now four steamers—the Mindella, -1-"bo Duke of Oporto, and the Vesuvius; while the Quee: n - , none, unless, as it is rumoured, she has hired the P v i o f Tar. The inertness of Marshal Saldanha, the retr°"4.4 Casal, the return of Da Antas, o ld r e d the escape of jibe and the coming " in of the Porto steamer, have advari ce a cause of the Junta materially. Oportoi perfectly tr tsn ' t : : the city abundantly supplied; the garrison are in sl ) ` ) :1 and Saldanha must do something to retrieve the f 3r i e , e po rt° The the Royal army, or desertion will take place. I b e. ";t: indeed I have reason to know, that it is not the irate 't of Saldanha to assault the city ; he proposes to le veJ" calculating on cutting off supplies, and cf openi n6 .„ e s munication with a part of the garrison. He reli es . 'ns on treachery or on a transaction. The Duke of l erc o el as and other prisoners have been removed from th ee , of the Foz to the city prison.
