There is something so repugnant to every manly feeling in this abominable spy system—it has been already so often animad verted on by many of the judges of the land — it holds forth such a temptation to per jury, and takes such unfair advantage of the accused, that we had hoped it could not have obtained the sanction of any English gentlemen at the present day. NVe regret to find that we were mistaken. Most seriously, however, do we hope that a full and searching inquiry may be directed by the Home-office or the Legislature, and that a warning may be held out to other occupants of the magis terial bench, that they cannot with impunity outrage the public feelings by a rei•etition of such unconsti tutional:conduct. In honesty, in justice, in self-defence, and for the general safety of the empire, it was incumbent upon the Government, however, to put a limit to its enormous charities. Without the purse of FORTU NATUS, or the lamp of ALADDIN, it was impossible for any power en earth to keep fountains of gold playing perpetually. A barrier must be marked up, beyond which no further disbursements of this kind should proceed from the Exchequer. By its generosity on the original appearance of the dearth, time had been gained for a calm deliberation of the plans to be adopted under the circumstances. That time has been gained, that deliberation has taken place, thcse plans have been adopted, and the skeleton of those plans is the establishment of an extended poor. law for the relief of poverty and starvation in Ireland. It is a notorious fact, as demonstrable as the concen• tric revolutions of the planets, that the present woes of that portion of the British islands are flowing entirely and directly from the criminal conduct of the Irish proprietors themselves. For the result of their sins we have been paying enormously—we are still paying enormously—and have promised to pay yet more enormously, both in loans, in grants, in gifts, in manual toil, in taxation, and in the exhaus tion of the bulk of our legislative energy. If, therefore, we regarded this matter merely in respect to its integrity, namely, upon the principle that every culprit must pay the penalty of his own offences, the guilty proprie tary of Ireland would be compelled by the Executive to liquidate all those expenses and payments which have been incurred through the malign operation of their own evil-doings. But the Government is not thus inexorable. The Government merely requires that the Irish landowners shall in future provide for the destitute population by a judicious imposition of poor-rates. The Government sees that it is but fitting that the men who are deriving their incomes from the muscular exertions, from A letter from Berlin, of March states that the trial of the Poles compromised in the events of February, 1846, is shortly to commence. The in dictment divides the prisoners into three categories, the first of which comprehends all that were led away by the idea that the Government menaced the Catholic religion. Against this class of persons the law officers call for no punishment, considering the imprisonment which they have undergone as a suffi cient expiation of their conduct. It is, consequently against the other two divisions that the proceedings are to be directed. The Frankfurter Journal contains a latter from Lemberg, of the 25th ult., which states that a conflict had just taken place between the peasantry and the soldiers. Great distress exists, and several bands of peasants were going through the country armed. It was with one of these that the armed force had come to a collision. Nothing is said in the letter as to the result. The Augsburg Gazette publishes a letter from Posen, of the 2d, stating, on the authority of some who had just arrived from Warsaw, that the reports which have been mentioned of the movements of Russian troops towards the frontier of the kingdom of Poland, and which have been contradicted by a Vienna journal, were well founded. We learn from Warsaw, 2d inst., that an imperial ukase has been published there for the formation of a Council of Commerce and Manufactures. the toil, and drudgery, and ill-remunerated strug gles of the peasantry, should be called upon tor assistance, when that peasantry has been brought down to a condition bordering upon starvation. Hence it is that Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposes the introduction of the poor-law into Ireland, and there upon 107 Legislators adjure the Government to pause before that measure is forced into an enactment. They are averse to out• door relief to able-bodied labourers. Why, what in the name of Common Sense has the Government been doing for the last six months but giving out door relief to able bodied labourers ? And• without doing so, upwards of 3,500,000 Irish must have died in their cabins, and their decaying bodies must have bred a plague that would have ravaged the survivors. But the Irish party, speaking together to the number of 107, express their abhorrence of all out door relief to able-bodied labourers ! Now that clamour either means that 4,000,000 men shall be abandoned to death, or that the Government shall continue to drain its revenues by pampering their iniquitous and extortionate avarice. Either con clusion is as disgraceful as it is criminal and mon strous. The Manheim Journal gives the following account of the loans contracted by the German States during the last two years :—Grand Duchy of Baden 14 mil lions of florins; Electoral Hesse, 114.; Hanover, 84 ; Austria, 98 ; and Wurtemberg, 12 ; amounting in all to 1444 millions of florins (296,250,0001.) To this must be added loans contracted by Anhalt, Proe then, Hatnburgh, and Frankfort. As to Austria, her loans since 1830 are these :—in 1830, 20 millions of florins at 4 per cent., at 97; in 1832, two five per cent. loans amounting to 94,644,000 florins ; in 1833, 40 millions of florins at five per cent., taken at 89/ ; in 1834, a five per cent. loan of 25 millions at par: in 1835, a three per cent. loan of 40 millions at 75' in 1839, a five per cent. loan of 30 millions at par ; in 1841, a five per cent. loan of 38,461,000 florins at 102; and in 1847, the late loan of 80 millions; mak ing in all 368,105,000 florins. It has frequently been our duty to direct the public attention to cases in which individuals have been subjected to serious expense and inconvenience, to a prolonged imprisonment, and the demoralisation con sequent upon the intercourse and communication with the mast abandoned characters, while detained in custody, and to the odium and disgrace necessarily attendant upon a public trial, through the culpable negligence of the committing magistrate, who too often receives the informations, and sends parties for trial, without having such evidence before him as to afford any reasonable prospect of a conviction. The Senate has rung within the last week with the in dignant remonstrances of Lord BROUGHAM on the conduct of one of the metropolitan justices, who committed a child of five years old to prison on a charge of felony; and on another occasion of another, who sent three boys, under twelve years of age, to stand their trial also on a charge of felony, for having taken the cap from the head of another boy and flung it into a piece of waste ground, manifestly in boyish sport. At Chelmsford, on Friday, we find two persons, a young man and a woman, /laced at the bar on a charge of wilful murder, in its most terrific and horrible form—by poison ; when the first witness, the medical man who opined and examined the body of the de ceased, at once established the fact that there was no proof whatsoever that the deceased child had died from any other than natural causes, whereupon the Chief Justice, as a matter of course, at once stopped the case, and directed the jury to acquit the pri soners. In this case the cause of the child's death was investigated before the Coroner and a jury, who returned a verdict, " That it died of convulsions." The body was opened, and no trace of poison was discovered ; anti yet, notwithstanding these facts, a magistrate was to be found, who sent two manifestly innocent persons to a common gaol, on the most serious charge known to the law, either from gross ignorance of his duty, or for some unaccountable reason. And in another similar case, tried the same day at the same place, the evidence of the medical witness entirely negatived the fact of any poison or corrosive substance being the cause of the death of the infant, and stated that, according to his opinion, it might be accounted for by perfectly natural causes. Under these circumstances the counsel for the prosecu tion most properly withdrew from the case, saying that he could not ask for a conviction. Surely cases such as these to which we have just alluded are de serving of the most grave reprehension. The liberty of the subject is not to be disregarded in such a reckless manner by persons clothed with an authority, for the due and discreet exercise of which they are manifestly not fitted. Madrid papers have arrived. Another Ministerial crisis has occurred. The Minister at War, General ORAA, having determined with the consent of his colleagues to dismiss General BRETON from the government of Catalonia and to appoint General PAVIA, Governor of Old Castile, in his room, at the same time conferring the Govern ment of Old Castile on General MANUEL DE Li CON cub, presented to her MAJESTY on'the 6th, decrees for the purpose of carrying out - these arrangements. Her MAJESTY refused her signature to these, as she did nit approve of the appointment of General CON CHA. On the 7th the Duke of SOTOMAYER is said to have waited on the QUEEN with the collective re signation of the Cabinet. It was stated that NAB, VAEZ and MoN and PIDAL would be the chiefs of the new Administration, and that BRAVO Mvaitx.o would retain his office of Minister of Justice. The following document, addressed by Don ENRIQUE to the Cortes, is published in the HeraklG: "Don Eenrique de Bourb in, with the profound respect for the Cortes which their national mission and noble and elevated character inspires, says that, considering himself as isolated and cast into oblivion since the marriages of Queen Isabella 11. arid her august sister with two illustrious princes, he has decided in this case, and exercising his free right, to follow in all things the dictates of his own soul, has imposed upon himself the obligation of not placing his affections upon env, but a Spanish - lady. The requests he has addressed to Tier Majesty the Queen having resulted in obtaining the verbal permission, with all the assurances be could desire, for con tracting a marriage with Donna Elena Castellvi Shelly Fer nandez de Cordova, daughter of their Excellencies the Count and Countess del Castellvi de la Villeneuve y Garces, with the sole condition ot remainin g fo r some time out of the capital, lie had decided upon having the public and solemn contract drawn up, submitting to ad the consequences of this mar riage. But on the morning of the 7th, although Ilia health had been suffering since the end of the autumn, and he had been ill on the preceding evening, he was arrested le sur prise, and carried in his bed with all the apparatus of force, and surrounded by bayonets, to the palace of his father, and without having obtained permission to take leave of their Majesties and present his homage to them, was sent off ur.der escort for Barcelona, where orders had already been given to allow him only the time necessary for his meal. He was there charged, in the came of the Minister of Marine, with a mission for Naples, which would have been an ho nourable one if he had been permitted to prepare for it, and if the means employed to remove him from the capital, his family, and his country had been milder, and less public— a mission which would have been honourable if he had been allowed the suite befitting his rank in the navy, and still more so as an Infaute of Spain, and if he had been furnished with the elements indispensable for such missions, and for the labours, investigations, pans, models, &c., which have to be addressed to the Government as the re -ult of them—an honouresle mission if he had not been allowed too short a time to become acquainted with the modern ame lioration of se vast an arsenal as that of Toulon in all its branches, and with the present system of organisation of the French navy, which must be studied with care in order to be able toprepare a proper report, and if he had not been required to remain an unlimited time at Naples, from which is expected the important information which is to raise our navy front its present low state, and our arsenals from the ruin and oblivion in which they have been left—..n honourable mission if any importance were attached to the results which would ensue from an examination of the arsenals of England, the great maritime nation of which no mention is ma !e—an honourable mission, in short, if the mo tive of an exile long prepared for could have been better con s those th - cealed from the na tion ; and if; in thus removing Doe Henr y de Bourbon from his mother country, his family, and his effec tions, an Infante of Castille, h theelear relation of kings, i had not outbe compell ed nsuite,y and top withoutesent i a m n s y e I f otherin fo rresources n than which in a moment of confusion and surprise, and of very natural regret for his family, his august fattier had been able to procure for him for his arrival at Bercelona, and his first exigencies. Reduced as Infante of Spain, and as commo dore, to his sole person this order itself proves the impos sibility of any good result, and places it in a grave position, for it-is there said that her Majesty feels confident that he will fulfil his mission as he ought to do. It is therefore far from being honourable. It is thus that he has been torn from his mother country, from his family, and from the person whom he had chosen to form his domestic happi ness, without having taller , into any fault which had tarnished his honour, and which deserved the application of measures so little honourable, so severe, and so far from conciliatory. Strongly convinced that his enemies alone could hope for a retractation of his public and sacred oaths, in order that he might lose his influence in the face of the world, and be regarded as unworthy of his position, and exposed, from weakness, to every ungenerous and unworthy action, firm in his noble design , faithful to his word, re solved' to seek in domestic life the calm of which he is so much in reed, and of which he has been for a long time de prided ; disengaged from the superstitions of past days, which are in opposition to the Constitutional system, he has the honour to make known to the Cortes and to the nation, that conforming himself to what is prescribed by the laws and Royal pragmatic, he is decided as a man ot honour to so lemnize his marriage with the above-named lady Dona Elena de Castellvi Shelly Fernandez de Cordova. " ENICIQUE MARIA DR BOURBON. "Toulon, Feb. 24." On the 7th, TRISTANY, at the head of a Carlist band, gained possefssion of Tarassa, a small town, eight leagues from. Barcelona. lie was, however, shortly afterwards driven out by the QUEEN'S troops, with the loss of 15 men. Every member of society surrenders a certain portion of his natural liberty; he binds himself to submit to certain restrictions, and to contribute to certain expenses for the general benefit ; in return he obtains protection for himself and property, and the entire power of the State is bound to be exercised on his behalf to protect him in the en• joyment of his rights. In every case of grave sus picion he is subjected to arrest, to be brought before one of these public functionaries, whose duty it is fully to inquire, and if there should be sufficient grounds, to remand the prisoner for further evidence, but if that evidence should not be of such a character as to afford a fair and reasonable prospect that a jury will be thereupon satisfied of the guilt of the accused party, he should at once be discharged from custody and restored to his family and friends. Injustice is seldom committed in the final result. Eminent men, selected for their learning, hold the scales of justice, who, recollecting the benign principle of the British law, " That it is better tha ninety-nine guilty per sons should escape the consequences of their crimes, than that one innocent person should be subjected to undeserved punishment," instruct the juries that if they entertain any reasonable doubt of the prisoner's guilt they should give him the benefit of that doubt; and if, from poverty or other cause, a prisoner should be unable to obtain professional as s i s t ance, for his defence, he always finds the presiding judge ready to act as his advocate, and anxious to dis over and lay before the jury any favourable or mttigt ting circumstances. In the earlier stages, however, the principle appears to be reversed. The moment a party is brought before a magistrate he is treated as if he were actually guilty; even before he is com mitted for trial he is subjected to treatment fitting only for criminals; he is not allowed free intercourse with his friends, nor full opportunity of preparing for his defence; he is locked up in his cell at the same hours and under the same circumstances as those who are suffering the punishment due to their crimes; he is not permitted to obtain, although willing to pay for them, the comforts to which he has been accustomed. If he wants to write on the most private matters to his friends his letters must be inspected and read by the prison authorities before they can be forwarded or received. He is treated as a criminal and punished be fore there is sufficient evidence to warrant an investigation before a jury of his country. The law authorises his detention and nothing more, but the regulations of the visiting justices turn th a t detention into a serious punishment.

Nevertheless, the BRITISII FUNDS. arrivals are becoming multiplied, and the Mayor of Havre has just published an encouraging list of ships laden with E corn shortly expected in that port. We eagerly accept these promises, but we must not delude ourselves in the anticipa tions of their consequences. The wants of France are un questionably very great, though they may be exaggerated by fear. Many municipalities and private associations, more alarmed for public order and security than frightened at an apprehended dearth, have formed themselves into mercan tile corn companies, and make purchases at the ports. From this it results that the quantities of wheat imported, though presenting an important mass, disappear the moment they are landed and disseminated throughout the country. Hence arises a natural consequence ; speculation not being affected by the importations, as it would be if the corn re mained for a time at the port of its arrival, the prices do not give way, the demands are made in quick succession, and the high price continues. This clearly explains why, notwithstanding the numerous arrivals, the prices have not been reduced, nor probably will be reduced yet. In the lest case the population is fed, the imported corn is brought into general consumption, only it is paid dearly for, more dearly even than it is really worth. We have a pro found' conviction that there is no real danger of a dearth-it has, indeed, become impossible; but we may expect that the prices will become excessively high. In a word, the country will have all the wheat necessary for its sustenance, but it will cost enormously dear. Let it not be said, that it did not depend upon any one to save France from these sacrifices. If the operations which have been practised within the last one or two months had been commenced in October or November, we should have receives before the seas were shut up by the ice all the corn we have need of, and even more, instead of being embarrassed and distressed in March and April, and even until June, and then find our selves in July encumbered with a superabundance. The dealers would have had enough to supply all demands, and the prices could not have risen beyond a certain limit. Corn would have been undoubtedly sold at a high price, but to the natural causes of the dearness there would not have been added that panic which creates factitious prices, and deceives all foresight. If the Ministry, better informed or more sincere, had not kept up too long, by imprudent circulars, a deceitful security-if it had taken the initiative in such energetic measures as provident minds advised them to take, the evil would have been considerably alleviated. It is its inexcusable want of care and its igno rance which have brought on the crisis. Nothing now re mains for the country but to bear the consequence of the faults committed by its Government. May this be at least a profitable lesson to all ; and when the evil days have pas Led may it please Almighty God to teach us to seek from an experience so severely taught to take all due means to prevent their return, which would be worth more than incessantly talking of repression. It is legitimate, no doubt, to take precautions against disturbances, but the first duty of a Government is to prevent the causes which provoke them, and sometimes give them the semblance cf justification." From the provinces the accounts of the scarcity are deplorable. At Bayonne five bakers have been compelled to shut up their shops, from inability to procure flour. Queen CHRISTINA, whO arrived at Bayonne on the 11th, was to leave for Paris on Sunday. . The Moniteur publishes a dispatch of Marshal BUGEAUD, dated Aurnale, the Ist inst., confirming the previous account of the submission of the cele • brated califa of Ab-del-Kader, Thaieh Ben Salem, of Ban Chareh, of Medeah, Sid Abderrehaman, former chief of Dellys, Bel Kussem and his brother Ahmed Ben Salem, &c. " The arnan claimed by those chiefs who had hitherto given proofs of the greatest fidelity to the Emir, cannot fail," says the Marshal, "to pro duce a strong moral effect over all the native popu lation, who must now renounce the hope of seeing ABDEL KADER again at their head.

CROCKFORD'S CLUB HOUSE.—OH Saturday, at the Special Sessions fur granting new licenses, held in the board room of the workhouse, Mounr-street, Grosvenor-square, ap plication was made for a license for the St. James's Assembly Rooms and Club House, late Crockford's, in St. James's street. Mr. C. Clarkson read the petition of the applicant, which was to the effect that he had taken the premises for many years, which he bad refitted at a great expense. It had been constructed for public balls and concerts, for the amusement of the upper classes, from whom he had received very extensive patronage. The applicant said that it would be his constant endeavour to maintain order. He, therefore, trusted that he should receive the countenance and support of the b--nch. The chairman said, after some consideration, that as it was intended to have public balls and concerts, they must refuse the license, which they did unanimously.

The Lords met at five o'clock. In presenting a petition from the Protestant Dis .-enters•ot Birdrush, against the Government scheme of National Education, Lord Baotrcuam said that there was an unfounded prejudice raised against the measure, which was one of a most tolerant character to all sects of whatever religious persuasion. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE declared that nothing could be more unfounded than many of the statements contained in the petitions against the measure. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from the High Sheriff and Grand Jury of the County of Tipperary, ex pressing their alarm at the unprecedented sa!e of fire-arms i❑ Ireland, and praying their Lordships to pass a law to prevent evil-disposed persons from having fire-arms in their possession. The Noble Lord also presented petitions in favour of a gi , -neral scheme of Irish rail ways; and a third, in favour of a general scheme of emigration. _ _ _ A desultory conversation ensued on the subject of emigration as a means of draining off the surplus popu• lation of Inland; in the course of which, Lord NIONT EAGLE complained of the very inaccurate manner in which the census had been taken in Ireland. The subject then dropped, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at Feur o'clock. In answer to a question from Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET, Mr. MILNER Glnsos said that the report which ha, last session been presented to the House, as the report of the Select Committee on Railways, was merely the draft report drawn up by the Chairman (Mr. MonnisoN). The Right Hon. Gentleman moved the re-appointment of the Committee, which was agreed to. In answer to various questions, Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE stated that the Khelat prize money was in course of dis tribution ; that the Ghuznee prize money was about to be distributed ; and that the distribution of the Sinde prize money awaited the decision of the Board of Con trol, which would be given shortly. It was stated by Lord MORPETH,- in reply to Mr. C. BERKELEY, that the Wellington statue was to be re moved. The adjourned debate on the motion for going into Committee on the Poor-law Relief Ireland Bill was then resumed by Sir W. CLAY. The House was subsequently addressed by Captain JONES, Mr. VILLIERS STEWART, who complained that his name had been attached to a resolution come to by certain Irish Members against the Government measures, without his authority ; Mr. HAMILTON, Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, who said, if he could get a repeal of the Union, he would. take it immediately ; Lord CoUR TEN AY, Sir DENHAM. NORREYS, IA ho was opposed to. union rating ; Mr. VESEY, who denied that the land lords of Ireland, lad neglected their duty ; lima J MANNERS, Mr. LAB3UCHERE, Mr. ROEBUCK, and seve ral other 1 - 1... m. Members. The 11:Juse then went into Committee on the Bill pro firma., reported progress, and obtained leave to sit aari❑ un Uriday next. The Drainage (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Mutiny Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday. The Poor Relief (No. 2) Bill was read a second time. The Agricultural Tenants Right 13111, after a short discussion, was postponed till Friday week. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at One o'clock. A comparison of the entreaties addressed to Lord Join RUSSELL •by the deputation of 107, and of the schemes of the Government for the relief of Ireland, presents to us a spectacle more repulsive than any thing we can just now remember. Men could not by possibility evince a greater degree of callousness to the suffe dogs of their fellow, creatures than aid these sixty-four Peers and these forty-three represen tatives. In the contrast of their resolutions and of the acknowledged wretchedness which is now rife in their afflicted cow.try, there is something absolutely horrible. 'Hundreds of thousands of able-bodied men would at this moment be in a state of hopeless desti tution. but for the lavish assistance of the Govern ment. But for that extraordinary assistance from the Executive those hundreds of thousands of able bodied men, and the families dependent upon their labour for sustenance, amounting to a frightful aggregate very nearly approaching to 4,000,000 souls, would have to perish like rats in their cabins. Upon the munificence of Government these 4,000,000 are subsisting. For the time being, during the first paroxysms of hunger consequent upon the existing dearth, the State advances man fully for the rescue of its children ; it takEs the whole burden of their sorrows upon its shoulders ; it- opens the veins its own vitality, and lets the blood by which it subsists flow freely into the impoverished system of the starving millions; it does everything that a loving parent and a benignant guardian could do to prevent the evil consequences which, but for its gigantic and cordial exertions, would have been in evitable. It appropriates a magnificent grant of 10,000,0001. for the exclusive use of Ireland in her present affliction. It has been so far from extorting from the pockets of the Irish proprietary the contri butions which were, on the autbreak of the calamity, most imperatively necessary for the salvation of the lives of the peasantry, that it actually undertakes to become the lender of additinnal money to that roprietary, at the insignificant interest of 31 per cent. It at i.blishes an enormous commis sariat throughout the island ; it accumulates corn in the stores for a possible increase of the emergency ; it awards a sum of 50,000/. for the purchase of seed for the ensuing spring; it taxes all its combined intellect, all its time, all its energy, all, its pecuniary strength, all its moral and physical influence, to conquer the dread Demon of Famine, and to ward off the javelins of its follower, Pestilence. Under the lEgis of the Government Ireland has been sheltered in its extreme desolation and helplessness. Through the sole exertions of the Executive 3,500,000 of our fellow-creatures have been preserved from a terrible and inevitable death. But for those exertions on the part of the Government these 3,500,000 souls would have died long since, and GOD knows what might not have been the mortality which would have fol lowed thereupon Meanwhile the proprietary are remaining on the whole inactive. They take an interest in the struggles of the Government officers against the local destitu tion which is growing and growing, and widening in all directions over Ireland—but their interest is passive. Nor is this all. Instead of taking a rigid supervision of the manner in which the charities of the State were being distributed, they look upon that distribution with the utmost indifference ; insomuch that the agents of the Gover nmen t h ave been affluentmores of agriculturists.
